Chapter 175: Sheng Weiqiao's proposal
And at this moment, the person who Rong Sleeping Crane intends to deceive all his life has just crossed the smoke and waves.
Due to the fact that the boats and boatmen in the vicinity of Yanbo Ferry were all burned, killed, and transferred, Lu Shiyu's department could only arrange for soldiers to cut down trees and temporarily build a pontoon bridge.
Maybe it was because the place where Lu Shiyu ambushed Fuzhen before was separated from Yanbodu by some distance, so the ambush soldiers arranged by Gao Heyi here did not notice the change, or they were very resolute in carrying Gao Jiyi's order holding Meng Boqin's seal, and most of the pontoon bridge was attacked.
Fortunately, the number of ambushes in this part is limited, if you cooperate with the Meng family cadres and the Fuzhen department, it can also play a critical role in delaying the trip of Lu Shiyu's department at a critical moment, so that Sheng Weiqiao and his party fall into a heavy siege.
Cheng Meizhu personally took the lead, led the heavy mules and horses from the team to drive them into the water, and used the mules and horses and the baggage on the back of the mules and horses as a barrier to block the arrows of the ambush.
After the pontoon bridge was built, things were simpler, Lu Shiyu ordered two thousand fine horsemen to take the lead in crossing the bridge, grate the radius of ten miles like a grate, ambush the prisoners who killed the prisoners, confirmed that it was correct, and invited Sheng Weiqiao and his party to go over.
When the army had all passed the Yanbo crossing, the soldiers in charge of the broken rear immediately burned the pontoon bridge and made a bunch of traps at the place where they went ashore, so that they quickly caught up with the large army.
About thirty miles after the Yanbo crossing was a small town, and when the army arrived, it was dusk.
So he took advantage of the curfew to curfew the whole town, requisitioned the best house in the town, sent soldiers to search that there was no danger, let Sheng Weiqiao's aunt and nephew take Yishan and Gongsun Xi to move in, and requisitioned a number of folk girls to serve as maids and servants, and after being busy for a while, he felt that there was nothing to add, so Lu Shiyu retreated.
However, after he left, Sheng Weiqiao didn't have the heart to rest, and after eating a little, he dismissed left and right, and let Yishan keep an eye outside, in case the wall had ears, and called Gongsun Xi to come to discuss: "I heard that when General Lu and they ambushed Na Fuzhen, Ru Ru shouted loudly that she was deceived by the Meng clan. Now that Fu Zhen's army has been defeated and left, after returning to the Ru Ru army, eighty percent will spread the news of Meng's collusion with Ru Ru to Da Mu Lai in retaliation!"
And the Gaomi King faction will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, but in this way, if the Meng clan falls because of this, what will Rong Sleeping Crane do?
Even if the Meng clan is deep-rooted, it can still support it, but if it loses, King Gaomi will be able to spare more time to calculate the sleeping crane!
Sheng Weiqiao didn't want her husband to be cheated, so she said to Gongsun Xi at this moment, "We have to think of a way to let their two factions continue to be evenly matched!"
Gongsun Xi reminded: "Isn't Niangniang have a good relationship with the queen? In this case, why not sell the queen's favor and let the queen grow a long face in the Meng family? Anyway, at this time, Meng Jiaqian and they must all be guarded and are not allowed to pass on the news." But presumably Lu Shiyu didn't have the courage to stop you from reporting safety to Chang'an, didn't he?"
"Didn't you persuade me to think about my relationship with the queen earlier?" Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at him suspiciously, "Why did you let me take the initiative to contact the queen now?"
Gongsun Xi said lightly: "As the saying goes, people are divided into groups, and the mother is good-hearted, presumably the queen can fall in love with the mother, and she will not be ungrateful?
Sheng Weiqiao bowed his head at this time: "Then I'll write a letter to Aunt Nan later." ”
Although Lu Shiyu didn't dare to stop her from contacting Chang'an, she wrote directly to Empress Meng...... It's too obvious!
Isn't this equivalent to telling Lu Shiyu clearly, you must intercept this letter?
However, Sheng Weiqiao asked Yishan to grind and lay the paper, and when the letter was almost written, he suddenly came to his senses and threw Zihao and scolded Gongsun Xi: "What did you just say that people are divided into groups and harvested differently? !
Gongsun Xi said solemnly: "Niangniang thinks too much, and her subordinates don't mean this." ”
Sheng Weiqiao glared at him viciously for a long time before snorting coldly: "It's better that there really isn't!, otherwise don't think that if Mizhen is not there, I won't be able to clean you up!"
Seeing that he bowed his head, looking very well-behaved and obedient, the most important thing is that Xuan Yu Feng next to him was also looking at her not to get to the bottom of it, Sheng Weiqiao pursed the corners of his lips, and did not continue to pursue it, only said, "You are responsible for finding someone to send this letter to Aunt Nan in Chang'an, and ask Aunt Nan to try to meet the queen and tell her about it...... I always don't feel at ease with Lu Shiyu's people. ”
Gongsun was happy and asked, "Does Niangniang have any other instructions?"
Sheng Weiqiao waved his hand impatiently, and Gongsun Xi took the letter and left.
After he left, Xuan Yu Feng said to Sheng Weiqiao: "I told you a long time ago, this is Mi Zhen's first confidant, how can you not give extra face?
"What kind of first henchman is he?" Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, "Mizhen's first henchman, must it be the fifth day of the junior high school?
Xuan Yu Feng laughed and said: "You are not good for the fifth day of the junior high school, Mi Zhen calls the fifth brother, you are still a mouthful of the fifth day of the first month!"
Sheng Weiqiao said: "That leopard is not good to me, and he deceived my Twelve Niang...... Is there a brother who does this?"
She didn't have the heart to talk about these trivial matters at this time, and frowned, "Auntie, what do you say we are going to do next?"
"How to go?" Xuan Yu Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I went to Chang'an...... Didn't you choose it yourself?"
In fact, it was safer for them to go back to Nanfeng County, because in the southwest direction, there was an ambush by the main force of the Southern Xinjiang Army, which could not only be used as a response, but also take the road where the Southern Xinjiang Army secretly infiltrated the Western Xinjiang, which was also hidden and guarded along the way, which was the most worry-free.
But Sheng Weiqiao had to take care of Rong Sleeping Crane's layout in Chang'an, and he was also afraid that he would lead the pursuers to the southwest corner and accidentally expose the Southern Xinjiang Army, so he finally chose Chang'an.
At this moment, she asked how to go, and Xuan Yu Feng thought she was remorseful, so he said, "Our current position, if we want to turn south, it will be troublesome." ”
"I'm not trying to go south. Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "I just thought, Ru Ru is menacing this time, you see that Fu Zhen, only with three thousand horsemen, he actually dared to go deep alone and chase down my princess of the clan!
Xuan Yu Feng glanced outside, and saw that Yi Shan shook his head slightly to indicate that no one was eavesdropping, so he said in a low voice: "This is not to blame for Ruru, you don't look at the one who is sitting on the throne now, what is worthy of people's eyes?
Sheng Weiqiao said: "That Fu Zhen now thinks that the Meng clan has cheated them, but in fact, the Meng clan does have the intention of colluding with them to trap me and Mi Zhen into it, this is mainly because Mi Zhen has now made the Meng clan feel threatened, so ...... What about our father?"
"Are you worried that King Gaomi will also make a move against Mizhen?" Xuan Yu Feng muttered, "That's a problem...... Otherwise, when you arrive in Chang'an, you will use the excuse that you have no bottom in your heart for the first pregnancy, and your mother's mother is not around, and test the tone of Princess Gaomi to see if she will take the initiative to invite you to the palace to have a baby? In this way, you can take away the temper of the eldest lady, and flatter her a little, and with her looking at King Gaomi, you can finally reduce some of the burden on Mizhen. ”
"Mi Zhen began to lay out for the present and even the future before he arrived in the Western Frontier, but what about me?" Sheng Weiqiao shook his head when he heard this, and snorted, "I am still ignorant of his overall plan, do I know what he told me? Am I not his concubine? How many times has he sworn that he will not hide from me or lie to me, but what is the result? It is either a word trick or a perfunctory trick!"
"Mi Zhen can do this to me, who knows if our father will also prevaricate the mother concubine like this?"
"In the end, the mother concubine is deep in the boudoir, for this kind of temple and turmoil in the battle between the two countries, it is not justifiable to intervene, the father wants to coax her, there is a way!"
"So I don't think it's reliable to count on my mother. ”
Sheng Weiqiao said, "After all, aunt don't forget, my eldest uncle and sister-in-law are the sons and daughters of Gaomi Wang, but they are known for their filial piety and thoughtfulness! They have always been in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law! Some time ago, Mi Zhen received a handwritten letter from her mother, saying that the son had gone wrong at sea, hinting at Chang'an, suspecting that Mi Zhen had done it. ”
"As the saying goes, the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and the reason why my mother-in-law loves Mizhen so much is because Mizhen has been living abroad since she was a child and has suffered a lot. But the so-called long-term love, she is guilty of Mizhen, and she has no pity for the son who grew up in front of her?"
"Mother-in-law's thoughts, I can't say that it is our husband and wife's from heaven to earth!"
"She doesn't like me, and I don't trust her!"
"Anyway, I don't want to put my future on her love for Mizhen!"
Xuan Yu Feng said: "Well, so what?"
"So I don't want to go to Chang'an. Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a while, a touch of perseverance flashed between his eyebrows, and he said, "I want to go to Northern Xinjiang!"
"Northern Xinjiang?" Xuan Yu Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why do you want to go to Northern Xinjiang?!"
Moreover, "You are a female streamer, and you are still pregnant, what is the use of going to northern Xinjiang?
"......" Sheng Weiqiao was speechless for a moment before he said, "Auntie, that Fu Zhen is coming for me this time, even if we are in danger of escaping because of Meng Jiaqian's choice this time, but that Fu Zhen has never been left behind!
"If I go to Northern Xinjiang at this time, he can't chase him to Northern Xinjiang as well? After all, his status in Ruru is not low, and he may not have this freedom!"
"Besides, if my father-in-law wants to deal with Mi Zhen, I think the most likely situation is to suppress the Northern Xinjiang Army and prevent them from sending reinforcements to the Western Frontier!"
"Let Mizhen and Ruru fight to lose both......"
A chill flashed in her eyes, "Even borrow Ruru's hand to eradicate Mizhen, and then send troops to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"There are only so many troops in Da Mu, it is impossible to send them all to the western frontier. ”
"In addition to the Northern Frontier Army, Mi Zhen has already won over the assistance that can be pulled. ”
"It's just that Da Mu Cheng has been peaceful for a long time, and the army is gradually losing its sharpness, but only the Northern Xinjiang Army can resist Ruru head-on at this time!"
"And the northern frontier is far away from the western frontier, and the father-in-law has an excuse to delay the reinforcements!"
"If we go to Chang'an now, it will be safe, but if we keep him secret, it will be dangerous if we can't turn back!"
"So I thought about it, I should still go to Northern Xinjiang!"
"At that time, there will be no troops in northern Xinjiang, no matter whose order it is, I am in northern Xinjiang, how can I have a way better than in Chang'an, right?!"
Xuan Yu Feng listened to it, and was silent for a while, and only said after a while: "This is what you just came up with?"
Sheng Weiqiao muttered: "It's not all, right, because I didn't expect Ruru to catch up so quickly, I thought that Mizhen was so anxious to urge us to leave, and I wouldn't have run into them! But since I saw the letter written by my mother-in-law, I have lost trust in the Gaomi Palace...... Well, maybe I used to think that my father and mother were called fathers and mothers, father-in-law and mother-in-law, even if it was my mother-in-law to Mizhen, I always felt as if something was missing?"
"If you can convince Lu Shiyu that they send you to Northern Xinjiang instead of Chang'an, I have no opinion. Xuan Yu Feng glanced at her deeply, "But you'd better think clearly! If you go to Chang'an, even if your father and mother are not there, your grandfather and grandmother, the Xu family, these people are here." It's the palace you don't trust, and it's definitely not good not to help you on the scene. ”
"But if you go to the north...... The few people who are in charge here don't need to give you any face!"
"As for me, a folk woman, at most, I will remind you of some pregnancy taboos, and nothing else will help you!"
"So, in Northern Xinjiang, you have to rely on yourself for everything!"
"Are you okay?"
