Chapter 218: The Danger of the Liao State

"Xiaoxia, close the window, I'm so cold"

As soon as Mu Xi's voice fell, Jing Lu immediately followed Ershu and quietly retreated into the darkness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiaoxia came to the window, seemed to notice something, and vigilantly poked her head out of the window to look out.

Jinglu and Ershu leaned tightly against the wall at the same time.

Xiaoxia probed window by window for a long time, leaving only the smallest window for a gap to breathe.

Seeing that Xiaoxia was suspicious, Jing Lu followed Ershu and quickly and quietly ran out of the hospital.

The master and servant walked all the way, and finally came to the study of the main courtyard, Ershu placed Jing Lu, who was tired to the point of weak legs, on the couch to rest, closed the door vigilantly, and handed over warm tea.

Mu Xi's words still echoed in his ears, such a brave and resourceful and tenacious strange woman, Jing Lu used all the praise words he knew on Mu Xi, which was still not enough to express Mu Xi's advantages.

"Lord Wang, the brothers have replied one after another, except for the Praetorian Guards in the palace now led by Prince Bei, who do not have our manpower, the other large camps are all arranged in place, just waiting for your call. ”

Ershu whispered in Jinglu's ear.

Now that Mu Xi's body has reached a crisis point, she can't let her be in danger anymore, she is already taking care of his safety when her life is in danger, how can he bear her heart, how can he let her be in danger again.

"Okay, what's going on in the palace?" Jing Lu relented and decided that he couldn't sit still anymore.

"In the palace, the khan is becoming more and more concerned about the government, and the military power was originally in the hands of General Xiao Wenli, but recently, the khan seems to intend to let Prince Bei secretly take over the military power, and Prince Bei has also begun to take over the government affairs, according to this, it will not be long before Prince Bei will naturally take over the throne of the Khan. ”

Ershu is clear.

"How do you deal with the courtiers?" Jing Lu asked with a sideways look.

"It seems that the wind and waves in the DPRK are calm, but in fact, the ministers are already waiting for Prince Bei to ascend the throne, now, no one knows what will become of the future, in order to protect Mingzhe, most people are more than one thing is better than one less, everything can be delayed, can be hidden, the court can stand alone, except for General Xiao, there is no second person. ”

"Okay, this time Mu Xi and I can live safely until now, there must be General Xiao's secret assistance, I just heard Miss Xia say that her mother seems to care about Mu Xi very much, her mother? I remember that General Xiao once said that he wanted to accept Miss Xia as a righteous daughter, judging from the current situation, the mother in Miss Xia's mouth, nine times out of ten is General Xiao, in this way, things are straightened out, General Xiao is because of his concern for Mu Xi, everywhere is thoughtful, so that I can also benefit from it. ”

Jing Lu's thoughts gradually became clear.

"What does the prince mean that General Xiao can be used by us?" Ershu asked secretly.

"General Xiao's personality is upright, it can also be said that she is not soft and hard, she is only loyal to the Khan, I didn't expect that such an impeccable person would actually change his principles for a weak woman like Mu Xi"

Jing Lu was still puzzled.

"There is another thing, although I haven't gotten the exact news yet, but, it shouldn't be chasing the wind, I heard that Da Getel appeared in Tongyun Palace not long ago, but at that time, I only saw Khan and General Xiao, and the rest of the people, as before, were fascinated by the drugs of the guarding warriors, I don't know the content and purpose of Da Getel's trip, I heard the maids in Tongyun Palace say that there should be Miss Yan who was not fascinated at that time. ”

Ershu said cautiously.

"Really, the people who can see the Great Getle have never been ordinary people, if Mu Xi really saw the Great Witch Doctor, what would he do?" Jing Lu tried to speculate on the possibility.

"Do you remember that Grand Getle has been looking for a successor?" Ershu reminded.

"How is it possible? Mu Xi is a Han Chinese, and the great witch doctor can only be a Khitan person. Jing Lu couldn't guess it, and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, no one can guess what the great witch doctor does, if I can get Getel's support, it will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Jing Lu yearned, this is something that can be encountered but not wanted, and suddenly came back to his senses, changed the topic and asked Xiang Ershu, "How is the situation on the Jin Army's side?"

"After the withdrawal of the Jin army, although we sent several groups of meticulous work to investigate, we still did not find out whether the enemy leader was dead or alive, but Emperor Wanyan had already sent a number of troops to look for famous doctors everywhere, according to this calculation, the enemy leader should still be alive, and it must be a very important person. Ershu reported with a slight expression.

"It's not dead, my sword pierced straight to the heart, and it didn't even take his dog's life, other than that, is there any change in the Jin army?" Jing Lu said indignantly.

"Yes, it is strange to say, there has always been a small group of soldiers and horses, swaying left and right in the Three Realms between Jin Liao and Song, without finding out their purpose, only knowing that this small group of soldiers and horses, each with unique skills, is extremely brave. ”

"Closely follow the movements of this golden army, and report it immediately if there is any abnormality. Jinglu ordered vigilantly.

"Yes, Ershu understands. ”

"Song, what about Zhao Lao'er now?" Jing Lu remembered another threat.

"Song Zhi is stable to the extreme, the emperor only thinks about immortality all day long, obsessed with all kinds of elixirs, collects all the rare and exotic herbs in the country into the palace, and makes immortal elixirs for him. ”

Jinglu's nervous nerves were slightly relieved, at this time the Liao State was already full of holes, the Jin army was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a possibility of coming to the army to fight at any time, if at this time, the Song Dynasty came to fight again, then the huge Liao State was really in danger of collapsing.

"This is a good thing, let that foolish emperor go to decadence, and let me have some time to recuperate," Jinglu said with satisfaction.

Ershu has a different opinion," Although the emperor is very mediocre, but the Song Dynasty must have a great cause, and there is a group of loyal ministers to support the country, not to mention the distance, just say that from last year to this year, the Khan and the Song Dynasty carried out the border business trade, it seems, our Liao State occupies the limelight, but until this year, the Khan found that the Song Dynasty through the conversion of currency, took advantage of us, when doing business, it emptied our treasury, the current Liao State, not only the drought, the people are not able to make a living, even in the army, there are months of money can not be paid to the phenomenon of silver, some poorly managed battalions, there have been deserters scattered everywhere。 ”

"Really?" Jing Lu was shocked and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, there are also deserters in the barracks where our brothers below, but there are only a few of them. ”

Ershu sighed.

"In this way, the country will not be a country, internal and external troubles, the army and the people are complaining, cattle and horses are hungry, and the future is worrying. Jing Lu was just satisfied with his confident expression, suppressed by the devastated national conditions, and no longer passionate.

"Oh, by the way, a guard has just come to report, and at nightfall, the Khan sent someone to urge the prince to return to the palace, and the seventh woman replied to the guard on the grounds that the prince was still ill and had fun here. ”

Ershu added.

"Did the Khan give up on Prince Tong?" Jing Lu's heart, thinking day and night, not only Mu Xi, but also his Lei'er, at this time, seeing the active and lovely expression of Prince Tong, I couldn't help but think that I hadn't seen my son for a long time, blood was thicker than water, and the concern that I couldn't let go of overflowed my heart again.
