"My cousin?" Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise, "When did my cousin come to Chang'an?"

At this time, she thought that the cousin that the maid said was the Feng family, but she only said that her maternal grandfather and grandmother had some considerations, so she sent her children to Chang'an.

Not only her, Xuan Yu Feng also thought so, that is, awe-inspiring: "Does it matter if the child is injured?"

The little maid hadn't answered yet, but she had already dragged Sheng Weiqiao towards the main hall, "Let's hurry up and take a look!"

As a result, when I arrived at the main hall, I found out that there was a misunderstanding, because the man in the hall who was anxiously surrounded by Old Lady Sheng and Old Marquis Xu, Xuan Yu Feng didn't know him at all, Sheng Weiqiao was also stunned at the threshold, and after carefully identifying it for a while, he asked uncertainly: "Cousin Shen, is it you?"

"Da Qiao?" The man was wearing an indigo robe, and the placket and hem of his shirt were mottled brown at this time, which was a blood stain that seeped out, and his face was also very pale, but his consciousness was still quite clear, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and squinted at Sheng Weiqiao, but immediately recognized her, so he smiled, "Da Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time? ”

"Cousin, how did you make it like this?!" Sheng Weiqiao confirmed his identity, hurriedly lifted his skirt and walked in, and said with concern, "When did you come to Chang'an? Why didn't you tell us?"

The question was to ask Shen Shilang why he didn't tell him, but Sheng Weiqiao knew that this was all after Shen Jiuniang's accident, Sheng Lanxin never returned to her mother's house in Nanfeng County, and the Shen family and the Sheng family gradually broke off contact.

This time, it was most likely that Shen Shilang was injured and had to come to the door for help, so he showed up.

"Qiao'er, are you still here asking questions about the east and west?" Before Shen Shilang could answer his cousin's question, Old Lady Sheng suddenly jumped to his feet and said, "You haven't seen Shiro's blood, how can an ordinary doctor reassure us when he sees it?!"

"Ah...... Oh yes!" Sheng Weiqiao was reminded, and he couldn't care about staying, so he hurriedly explained to Xuan Yu Feng, and immediately left the house to start the matter of inviting the imperial doctor.

She didn't know that she had just left the Sheng Mansion on her front foot, and Xuan Yu Feng raised her eyebrows on the back foot and asked Old Lady Sheng: "The old man specially separated Qiao Er, but because of this injury and his visit, it is not easy to spread the word?"

Old lady Sheng looked at her deeply and was silent.

This reaction had already confirmed Xuan Yufeng's guess, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes thoughtfully.

Sheng Weiqiao didn't know these things, she hurriedly returned to the palace of Mizhen County, and was thinking about finding the chief housekeeper to give instructions, but when she saw that Rong Sleeping Crane happened to come back, she hurriedly went to the study to explain to him.

Rong Sleeping Crane looked anxious when he saw his wife, comforted him a few words, and sent Gongsun Yingdun to find a doctor who was best at treating trauma with his post...... Because judging from Sheng Weiqiao's description, Shen Shilang was injured eighty percent.

"Speaking of which, the Shen family hasn't moved around with the Sheng family in the past few years, and even the New Year's gifts are meaningful. After Gongsun Yingdun went out, he asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the door with an injury this time?" Didn't you meet robbers on the way to Chang'an, or did you ......?"

He paused and muttered, "He's not from the south, he's coming back from the north?"

"At that time, my cousin was like that, and my grandfather was in a hurry to find a doctor for him, and of course I would be back soon. Sheng Weiqiao didn't realize that he was being pushed away, frowned and said, "Anyway, he went to the door this time, and he was still injured, so it is impossible to say that he will leave with his feet, right? ”

Speaking of this, she bit her lip lightly and hesitated, "You say...... Is it possible...... If he had come back from the north, he had visited...... Little Joe?"

"I'll send someone to check his recent whereabouts, and if I've been to see Cousin Shen, I'll also ask you about her current situation. Rong Mianhe was noncommittal and said, "Don't worry too much, anyway, Cousin Shen entered the Sheng Mansion this time, and the relationship between the Shen family and the Sheng family will definitely not be as deadlocked as it has been in the past few years." In the final analysis, it is no wonder that there are two families, it can only be said that creation makes people. At that time, everyone was sad, and it was inevitable that many people would not be able to get off the stage. Now that Cousin Shen's visit to the door has somewhat softened the attitudes of both sides. ”

Sheng Weiqiao sighed, to be honest, she didn't care too much about whether the Shen family and the Sheng family would resume contact, mainly the huge Shen family, and the one she had the most contact, the best relationship, and the most important thing was Shen Jiuniang.

Most of the others only take a look at each other during the New Year's holidays, and this has broken off the connection for several years, and it is certainly impossible for Sheng Weiqiao to have too strong feelings for resuming the movement with such relatives.

She didn't continue to talk about this, but asked about the topic that Fang had just been interrupted when she was with Xuan Yu Feng: "By the way, you said before that we were going to go to Western Xinjiang in the near future, but now something like that happened in Northern Xinjiang, do we still want to go to Western Xinjiang?"

"Why don't you go?" Rong Sleeping Crane said with a smile, "Shouldn't we go to Northern Xinjiang to fight against Ruru instead?" I don't care about serving the country, just obediently, do you think, with my identity, if I go to Northern Xinjiang, will I still be a soldier?

"In this way, what kind of Ruru are you fighting, it's too late for your own family to fight...... Doesn't this make things worse for the country?"

Sheng Weiqiao said angrily: "Where do I mean this! I thought you would want to stay in Chang'an!"

"Chang'an is definitely not good to stay, in this situation, there is no military power in hand, and the future will always be in the hands of others. Rong Sleepy Crane shook his head and said, "And Chang'an will definitely become more and more chaotic in the future, and it will be more troublesome to stay here." ”

"You said that Ru Ru has been quiet for so many years, and has been making a small fuss, why is it suddenly attacking now?" Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while, and asked puzzledly, "Or is the Northern Frontier Army really relaxed to the point of being a mess as the rumors say, so that Ru Ru doesn't take the Northern Frontier Army seriously?"

Rong Mianhe just snorted at this: "Relaxation must be relaxed, after all, as you said, Ruru has been making small fights over the years, and after a long time, the vigilance of the border army will naturally decline." However, it is impossible to make a real mess, neither Meng Boqin nor our eldest uncle are stupid people, how can they allow the border army to rot? Not to mention the loss of the city this time, and the loss of three seats, eighty percent of them are traitors. ”

At the mention of this question, a sharp line crossed his eyes, "I just don't know...... Who is this mole?"

"This traitor is likely to be Mizhen. At this moment, in the imperial city, in the dormitory of Wangchun Palace, Queen Meng, who was only wearing a homely skirt, sat expressionlessly on the brocade couch and looked at the man dressed as a chamberlain: "Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course there is no evidence, I am under the surveillance of Mizhen at this time, it is not easy to deceive the eyeliner and get out to meet you, where is the spare strength to catch him?" Meng Guiyu said with a cold expression, "However, the three cities lost in Northern Xinjiang at this time, although they are not the most important, they are not low!

"Of course, King Gaomi and the Meng clan have this ability, but you also know that at this moment, the two factions have just agreed on the matter of Zhao'an, and they are rolling up their sleeves, waiting to go to the sea to salvage a sum of money, and then recuperate!"

"How is it possible to lead a foreign enemy to invade on this eyebone?!"

Empress Meng frowned: "But Mizhen has not been in Chang'an for a long time, her foundation is shallow, and she is not loved by King Gaomi, so she may not have done such a thing, right?"

"Have you forgotten his father-in-law?" Meng Guiyu reminded, "His grandfather and grandfather of the princess of the county were the old men of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and they were also deeply appreciated by General Zhou! There is also the old marquis of the Xu family who is like a person who is good with the Sheng family, and his son Ning Weihou is the former commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Even if the hussar generals and Huaihua generals worked hard to cultivate henchmen and eliminate dissidents after they arrived, there were always places where the Sheng and Xu families could still intervene in the vast northern Xinjiang. ”

"I'm afraid this is also the most important reason for the lost city?"

"What is Mi Zhen doing here?" Empress Meng pinched her eyebrows, still not believing this inference, "Isn't he going to the Western Frontier right away?" Originally, when the imperial court allocated funds, it was the most important to the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the Western Frontier has always been peaceful because the barbarians have been subjugated for a long time, and the money and silk baggage for the turn have always been meager. ”

"At this time, there is a war in northern Xinjiang, and it is still so tight, and the court must give more money!"

"Although it has been a good few years, the income of the treasury is like that...... Next, the Western Xinjiang Army will become more and more raised by the mother, and the father doesn't love the mother anymore!"

"Even if Mi Zhen has Kang Zhao's dowry as a subsidy, she may not be able to support the Western Frontier Army, but the army consumes a lot of money, who would be afraid of having more money?"

Meng Guiyu sneered when he heard this, his original temperament was very gentle, although due to his family background and life experience, his reading was not as profound as Rong Sleeping Crane, and his knowledge was definitely not as good as Rong Sleeping Crane, or even as good as Xu Baomo, but after enduring it for many years, he was more elegant than these two.

However, since Meng Guihuan was forced to enter the Guangling Palace, there was a lingering gloom and resentment between his eyebrows.

Even after this period of tempering as General Zuo Weiwei, the demeanor of a gentleman who was exquisite but gentle and elegant in the past cannot be found in the end.

At this time, sitting there in eunuch clothes, he was like the charm of the old eunuchs in the palace, especially the indifference and viciousness in his eyes at the moment when he saw it, that is, Queen Meng, who took the initiative to ally with him, turned her eyes away with some discomfort.

Meng Guiyu didn't care about the queen's actions, and said indifferently: "Have you forgotten what I told you last time? Mizhen is not short of money now, and she may not even lack manpower. What he lacks most is time!"

"This is also the reason why he will come up with the matter of recruiting An Qihai, the purpose is to use this matter to stumble the Meng family and King Gaomi, so that he can develop his power in the western Xinjiang with peace of mind. Turn around and be full-fledged, and then learn from his Yue family, and turn Nanfeng County, where the two clans originally stood side by side, into one of the three powerful families!"

"When the time comes, the three families will work hard, and then use blood and family affection to coerce King Gaomi, and coerce the father and son to work together to sweep away the Meng family, who will have to say that the world will be?"

"It's just that after all, the Meng clan and King Gaomi have accumulated a lot of power over the years, and they are not so easy to be stumped. ”

"However, now that Ruru is attacking, these two factions are very busy, if Mi Zhen goes to the Western Xinjiang at this time, who will have the kung fu to care about him?"

When Empress Meng heard this, she said, "What do you mean...... Can't you let Mi Zhen go to the Western Frontier?"

"No!" Meng Guiyu shook his head when he heard this, "I must let him go to the Western Frontier!"

He explained, "First, this person is thoughtful, and there are many hole cards, and at this time, there is the financial help of the three powerful families of Nanfeng County, as well as the support of Ershu in the palace, even if we want to stop him, we may not be able to stop him!"

"Second, although he is not yet able to fight against King Gaomi and the Meng Clan, we are even less qualified to fight against him!

"Thirdly, if he can rise to the point of being on an equal footing with King Gaomi and the Meng family, it will also be a good thing for us!"

"Not to mention anything else, if this person stays in Chang'an, Chunbo Lake Water Master, he will definitely hold it in his hands, and he won't give me any chance at all!"

"But if he goes to the western Xinjiang, even if he still has people left to keep an eye on me, he will not be in Chang'an compared to his own people. ”

"In this way, I will have the opportunity to truly master the Sailor Division, and even get involved with other forbidden armies!"

"King Gaomi and the Meng clan have already divided the courtiers who are willing to take sides, even if they don't, it is impossible for us to come up with more attractive bargaining chips than them to form a gang now!"

"So it doesn't matter if I want revenge or if I want to protect myself...... There is no way to win over the courtiers, you can only start with military power!"

Meng Guiyu said this in one breath, and said with a solemn expression, "So Mizhen must go to the Western Frontier! He has to go even if he doesn't want to, and it's best to leave Chang'an as soon as possible!!
