Weiyin and Weixin were very surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect the queen to get the news so quickly, and said in their hearts that it was no wonder that Dong Liang wanted to send the five of them to accompany the queen to Shanglin Yuan, and sure enough, it was much more convenient for the traitor to do things than outsiders.

Of course, he couldn't say this, so he just said: "Niangniang, are you sure that this is what Chi Sakusi inadvertently told you, not where we have revealed a flaw, this is a tentative word?"

Empress Meng said with a not very good-looking face: "Chi Zuosi is my aunt's close attendant, and he has always been the most loyal, and everything is according to my aunt's preferences." And my aunt is the best person among my elders! Now that the Meng family has suffered a great change, my brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces have died one after another, I am the only remaining blood and bone in front of her, do you think she still needs to doubt me?"

"My aunt doesn't suspect me, how can Chi Sakuji have bad intentions towards me?!"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't trust you, but for the sake of prudence, let's confirm it. Seeing this, Weiyin hurriedly apologized, and Weixin also said a lot of words of apology, but seeing that Queen Meng was always gloomy, thinking that she was still calculating, she remembered Dong Liang's advice before leaving, although she had to guard against Queen Meng, but before she completely turned her face, she should not offend her.

What's more, there is only news of Kanggui now, and in the next task, there are more places to rely on the queen, so they both bow down and ask for guilt.

"Get up!" Empress Meng frowned when she saw this big move, and said, "I'm a little unhappy at this moment, but it's not because I doubt you, but ...... Kanggui is a person...... It's too careless for people's lives, isn't it?Didn't Mizhen never care about him?!"

Weiyin and Weixin looked at her for a moment to confirm that this was not prevarication, and then got up and said: "Niangniang, you don't know, Kang Gui, Luan Yusi, and Shao Yan are all the right-hand men left by the old sea lord to their own sons, and they have the intention of helping Gongsun to guard against our county king." For this reason, it is inconvenient for our county king to get too close to them, nor is it convenient to interfere with them in anything, so as not to misunderstand the county king's intentions are not good for Gongsun Shu. Although the king of the county can't see some of the bad deeds of those people, it is not easy to discipline his subordinates at will like his subordinates. ”

"Before the king of the county went to the western frontier, he was actually very short of manpower, but he never borrowed people from Gongsun Shu, because he was worried that they would rely on the favor of the Gongsun family to the king of the county in the early years, and they would be proud of their achievements, not obey orders, and destroy the overall situation. ”

Seeing that Empress Meng's expression became more and more unsightly when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "However, with the slave's understanding of Kanggui, although he usually likes to mess with flowers and grass, he will definitely not say that he is messing around to the point where he is now, and even the secretary in front of the Queen Mother has to endure it!

"Otherwise, although it is inconvenient for our county king to control him, Gongsun Shu himself, to be honest, is not the kind of person who has lost his conscience, and he is not used to such things. Otherwise, we wouldn't have saved our county king from the sea, would we?"

Empress Meng fiddled with some jewelry and rouge gouache on the dressing table without saying a word, and after a while, she said lightly: "Many innocent palace maids are dead, what is the important inside story, and such a price?"

"The slaves haven't met Kanggui yet, but they don't know. "But Niangniang, please think: Kanggui and the others came to Chang'an with the king of the county earlier, and everything in the family is in Chang'an City." With all these incidents, they were separated from their families, so how could they really serve Chongxinhou with peace of mind? ”

"At this time, even if you like to walk around on weekdays, where can you be in the mood to commit such a capital crime?"

Because she was afraid that the queen would change her mind and not help because she was disgusted with Kanggui's behavior, she promised: "Niangniang, please rest assured! Even if Gongsun Shu is willing to make an exception to indulge his henchmen like this, don't you still believe the behavior of our county king and county princess?

"The princess of the county has never refuted the matter of the princess of the county!"

She thought to herself that she would save people first anyway, as for whether her package of tickets could be realized in the future...... It depends.

Left and right, she didn't think that she would have any serious consequences for breaking her promise to Empress Meng.

The two coaxed left and right, and after a while, the queen slowed down her expression and said: "I'm not the kind of person who really shines brightly, it's just that as a woman, I can't see such a dirty thing!"

Turning to the topic, "I asked Chi Zuosi carefully, Kang Gui had also been near Chengluan Palace before. It's just that she happened to meet him once, and reprimanded Kang Gui fiercely! I went to find my sixth brother again, my sixth brother probably didn't want to tear his face with my aunt at this time, but he agreed to restrain him, and he didn't come to the neighborhood after that...... As for me, I have to promise Chi Zuosi that I will take a good look at you from now on, and don't let you go out, lest you be looked down upon by him. What do you think we're going to do now?"

Hearing this, Weiyin and Weixin frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Niangniang, if we offend the palace people of Chengluan Palace, will it bring you any trouble?"

"Are you going to let them frame you and take the initiative to send you to Na Kanggui?" Empress Meng muttered, "The whole of Chengluan Palace is my aunt's people, and I still have a bit of status in my aunt's mind." So ordinary palace people, it's not that they can't afford to offend! It's Chi Zuosi, this is my aunt's confidant, because of my aunt's attitude towards me, she won't be angry with me when she is idle, but I can't bear to hurt her. You can dispose of the others other than her at your discretion, as long as you give me some reason, lest my aunt think that I have no conscience. ”

Wisher Yin hurriedly said: "Niangniang, please rest assured, the slaves and maids will ensure that everyone thinks you are innocent!

They were discussing contact with Kanggui here, and the northern frontier, where there were frequent beacon fires, was already in chaos.

Due to King Gaomi's sudden attack on the Meng clan before, the baggage that should have been escorted to the northern frontier had come to naught, so that the grain and grass in the northern frontier were not very sufficient at this time.

Bisheng was also burned a fire before Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, and the most terrible thing at this time was not that everyone couldn't eat, but that everyone knew that they were about to run out of food.

The panic of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses was already very dangerous.

In this case, Ru Ru cooperated with Meng Boqin to attack, which was nothing less than worse!

Although out of hatred for Meng Boqin, the former commander of Northern Xinjiang, the vast majority of the Northern Xinjiang Army did not intend to flee without a fight, but were excited to have a fight with Meng Boqin. However, the lack of baggage and equipment, coupled with Meng Boqin's own understanding of the northern frontier, as well as the persuasion of the old troops in key positions to surrender, still made the entire battle situation a complete defeat, almost a thousand miles away!

"Northern Xinjiang can't be saved this time!" Zhao Shi's eyes were red, and he summoned the generals to discuss the way forward in the Chinese military tent, "There is no time to mobilize the baggage equipment, not to mention that Meng Boqin has been operating in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and there is no time to identify his henchmen and traitors at this time! Continuing to defend is just a waste of the lives of the sons...... You say, what's next?"

A general gestured on the map in front of him and frowned: "Why don't you defend Xiazhou City?"

"No, although Xiazhou has been an important checkpoint since ancient times, but in recent years, due to the fact that Jizhou is in the front, Xiazhou's preparations are not enough at all, Ruru is menacing, and the terrain of Xiazhou City is not too easy to defend and difficult to attack. But immediately someone objected, "It's better to look at the more dangerous terrain!"

"In that case, we will have to retreat to the vicinity of Chang'an!" said the previous general worriedly, "Once the time comes, the imperial capital will be invaded......

"Isn't the imperial capital enough to intrude now?" someone in the furious border general sneered and said, "How many days have the forbidden armies been divided and confronted, this is not an incursion, so what does it take to be considered an intrusion? !

When it comes to the current situation in Chang'an, the people in the tent, including Zhao Shi, have difficult faces to look at.

Originally, after the ending of General Zhou that year, there was a general resentment towards the imperial court in northern Xinjiang, thinking that a group of villains controlled the government and did not care about them who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die in the frontier.

And after the Meng clan and King Gaomi carved up the military power of the Northern Frontier, they did not make a fuss about this emotion, trying to splash dirty water on the other party.

This situation makes the trust of the Northern Frontier Army in the imperial court naturally not too high.

At this time, the confrontation between Chang'an and Lin Yuan is a typical disregard for the overall situation, and the resentment in the hearts of the generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army can be imagined!

“…… General, Chang'an can't continue. After a short silence, someone said slowly, "Otherwise, even if we can defend a city, at most we can temporarily block Ruru! After all, there is no food or clothing, so how can the men below fight with Ruru? Ruru can rob my people, so we can't ask the people below to do the same, right?"

"Hundreds of thousands of troops, as well as war horses, without the imperial court in the middle to respond, dispatch grain and grass, there is no way to catch up at all!"

"If Chang'an continues to fight to the death, then we people, the general, think that there is no need to discuss how to deal with the enemy here, it is better to find a place to go as soon as possible, so as not to become Ruru's boastful military exploits in vain!"

He said coldly, "After all, it is not easy for these sons and daughters under our hands to be trained! If they really sacrifice their lives for the country, it is okay, and now the court is like that, they can't be asked to send them to death in vain, just to buy time for the upper authorities to fight for power and profit, right?!"

“…… You can rest assured about this matter!" Zhao Shi looked around at the generals, his mood was very complicated, and after a while, he said lightly, "The King of Mizhen County has rushed to Chang'an, and he plans to take action in person to break the current situation!"

Looking at the relieved expressions around him, Zhao Shi lowered his eyes to hide the sadness that flashed in his eyes: Before Rong Sleeping Crane left, he had politely begged this nephew, no matter what, to keep King Gaomi's life, let alone hurt the prince Rong Qingchu and others.

But Rong Sleeping Crane only said lightly: "Uncle overestimated me too much, now that the situation is urgent, it is a blessing to be able to mediate...... As for other things, it can only be said that they are doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven!"

This sounded true, but it was obviously a blunt refusal: he had no intention of showing mercy to the blood relatives of the Gaomi Palace.

He saw them as no different from other enemies, the ones who did not need mercy, the kind that did not need taboos.

Although the Zhao family was first tied to the boat of King Gaomi by the first emperor, over the years, it is not without resentment, a few days ago, King Gaomi also placed Zhao Shi through the secret room, for the current situation in northern Xinjiang, there is an unshirkable responsibility, but in the end it is a relative for many years, Zhao Shi is not the kind of six relatives do not recognize the sex, thinking that his sister's family has fallen to the point where it is now, I feel uncomfortable.

It's just that what he didn't know was that King Gaomi, who was far away in Chang'an at the moment, was coldly ordering: "The northern frontier can't be defended? Zhao Shi is really useless......! What is he, General Huaihua, still kept? Send him down and choose another meritorious!"

When he said the word "virtuous", he turned his head to look at his relatives next to him.

Qi saw that Xun's beard and hair were all white, but his eyes were full of essence, and he did not show his old age at all, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve the prince and the prince of the world!"
