Chapter 41: First Strikes
Mu Yuan settled down, he would not really deal with the trivial matter of deception for the sake of this banquet, but he would not believe all what Concubine Xi said, but he would not believe it completely, what was going on, he only believed the results of his own investigation.

"Cheng Huang, if you talk like this, it's serious. Mu Yuanan's tone was flat, and he said to Concubine Xi again, "Look at you, what kind of mouth are you fighting with the juniors." β
Concubine Xi put away her previous appearance, and suddenly became like a well-behaved little white rabbit, leaned closer to Mu Yuan'an and said, "The concubine is abrupt." β
Qi Donghai echoed when he saw it on the side: "The emperor and Concubine Xi are really in good shape, and they envy others." β
Except for the comparison and bickering between the palace concubines, there were no other big waves at the banquet.
At night, Qi Donghai returned to the post house, the post house in the capital is different from the local post house, known as the Four Kingdoms Pavilion, which can not only receive officials from the locality, such as Mu You, but also receive envoys from foreign countries, such as Qi Donghai.
However, there is still a difference between the two, the Four Nations Pavilion is divided into the East Pavilion and the West Pavilion, separated by a wide cornices corridor, although the East and West Pavilions are very close to each other, but they can maintain their own privacy, such an ingenious design, but also let Qi Donghai who lives in the East Pavilion full of praise, Dashun has too many good things that are clever in the North Liang, he can't wait to learn them all for a while.
Qi Donghai glanced at the carriage at the door, knowing that Mu You had just come back, and he was very interested in the son of the Lingnan Metropolitan Governor, but he had just checked in, and at the banquet in the palace, he and Mu You were only nodding their heads and not having a deep conversation.
After returning to the room, the first thing Qi Donghai did was to call Aguta over and ask about the things he had explained before.
Aguta suddenly slammed his knees and said, "Master, our warriors have not returned, and Aguta thinks that something may have happened." After that, he pointed to a one-foot-square wooden box on the table and said, "This is when the host attended the banquet, someone sent it, saying that Aguta should be handed over to the master personally, and that Aguta could not be opened, and the master must open it himself." β
Qi Donghai raised a little vigilance, called Aguta to step forward, pointed to the wooden box and said, "You come and open it, I'll just watch from the side." β
Aguta didn't think much about it, this box was set up like a mechanism, and he couldn't pull it open, Aguta's strength was already very strong, but the baffle of the box seemed to be glued to the body of the box, and it didn't move at all.
Qi Donghai frowned slightly, pointed to one of the inconspicuous small pieces of wood and said, "You pull out that small piece of wood and try again." β
Aguta only knows how to use brute force, and after Qi Donghai's mention, he thought that this strange box must have a mechanism, and according to Qi Donghai's method, he pulled the small piece of wood, and it was much easier to uncover the baffle, and he didn't feel that he didn't open the wooden box, but as soon as he opened the wooden box, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and Aguta glanced inside and exclaimed in a low voice: "Master, it's the head, it's the head of our Beiliang warriors." β
There is no need for Aguta to exclaim, Qi Donghai can naturally see it, the strong smell of blood represents a signal of danger, this is indeed the warrior sent by Qi Donghai to follow Mu Chenghuang, and the note that Mu Chenghuang came out of was also deliberately left to her by Qi Donghai.
However, his purpose was not to lure Mu Chenghuang out to have a private meeting with Mu Chenghuang, but he wanted to test whether his fiancΓ©e had a man he already liked, today's banquet was full of powerful people, it was a good time to tempt, he had to make sure that he could marry Mu Chenghuang, and to bring her to Beiliang, he had to be prepared for anyone who might threaten his plans.
Qi Donghai's eyebrows tightened, and he had to admit that it seemed that his temptation still had results, it was indeed someone who secretly protected Mu Chenghuang, and the person who could kill the most outstanding warrior around him in the palace so easily should not be underestimated, and I don't know if this is good news or bad news.
"Find a place to deal with this head. Qi Donghai didn't look over, Aguta responded, and asked again: "The two people who wanted to assassinate the master before that." β
Qi Donghai frowned and said: "Go to Northern Liang Shengjing to write a letter and tell the imperial grandfather that the imperial uncle Qi Changqing sent someone to assassinate me, and then cut off the tattoos on the two people as evidence, and the person who went to deliver the letter must also be seriously injured, I must make Grandpa Huang believe that his son is planning to kill his grandson and kill his successor." β
When Aguta heard this, he asked again in a daze: "But the master knows that those two are Chu ......." β
"Does it matter who sent it? The key is that what we are dealing with now is not that rabble, but my dear imperial uncle in Shengjing, Qi Changqing. Qi Donghai frowned and looked at Aguta, Aguta is good at everything, absolutely loyal to the lord, and absolutely loyal, but this brain is too slow, but he doesn't dare to raise a too smart cronies by his side, he has seen with his own eyes how his father was betrayed by the most trusted smart person around him, it's terrible, although, the person who made that smart man rebel is himself, the old emperor has always refused to give way, even if his father succeeds to the position, he will have to wait for twenty years to become the emperor, he can't wait, his thirst for power is like the yearning of a fish that is about to die for nectarγ
Also like the East Hall of the Four Kingdoms Pavilion, there was no lights out all night, and the Heart Cultivation Palace, today's Mu Yuanan did not go to any of the concubines, after the banquet, he went back to the Heart Cultivation Hall directly with overwhelming wine to rest, and also resigned from those concubines who wanted to serve, he sat on the edge of the dragon bed a little uncomfortably, with his arms clubbed on his knees, supporting his somewhat stuffy and heavy head, in recent days, his headache has become more serious, Guo Tianli has obviously sent an antidote made of Mu Chenghuang's blood, but it is still not good.
Guo Tianli said that this kind of chronic, poison is like this, the more you go to the back, the greater the toxicity, and the greater the demand for poison, he has specially instructed the whole doctor to draw more blood this time, which is enough for him to make a second medicine, however, it takes time for the medicine to go from the first product to the finished product, and he will need a few days to send the second antidote.
medicine, Mu Yuanan had an unbearable headache, he just wanted an antidote.
The lights in the palace of the heart are dim and unclear, and through a screen, there is a man in black who is reporting what Prince Su said in the court before, and the people of the Hutou Army of the Yuan Zishan faction are monitoring in front of the palace, and they are handling it very cleanly.
After Mu Yuanan listened, he didn't speak for a long time, until the moon outside seemed to be halfway away, and then a voice of vicissitudes came from behind the screen: "Do you think he is warning me?"
"The last general just thinks that Prince Su is very likely to want to get rid of General Yuan, after all, General Yuan's current style dislikes many people in the court, according to the emperor's words, the excerpts of Yushitai's impeachment of General Yuan are also piled up, isn't it?"
The person who spoke was in the shadows, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly, but now he was the most trustworthy person beside Mu Yuanan, Mu Yuanan arranged a seemingly inconspicuous identity for him, but in private, what he did for Mu Yuanan was far more than that.
"Dou Cheng, you have to know, those two, but I asked you to send them, he took out this matter so openly in the court, I have to speculate about his thoughts, and also said that I found out that he entered the palace this time, he brought shadow guards, but what did those shadow guards do when they entered the palace?
Mu Yuanan's tone had a hint of banter, this was a mockery of Dou Cheng, people were under Dou Cheng's nose, but they were all like invisible people, but more of it was a mockery of himself, he always thought that he would guard Mu Qinyi to death, and he pressed it strictly, Mu Qinyi seemed to want to tell him through these two things that if he really wanted to do something, he couldn't stop him as an emperor.
Ridiculous, ridiculous.
"What's going on in the north?" asked Mu Yuanan again.
Dou Cheng said through the screen: "Wei Bin has gathered some remnants of the Marquis of Wei Wu's Mansion on the border, about 10,000 people, ready to start an incident. β
More than 10,000 people are ready to rebel? Mu Yuanan smiled contemptuously, but he was just a stinky hairy child, and he felt that he was great when he gathered some people who ate and drank with him, and now there are not many people who are dissatisfied with Yuan Zishan......?
"Okay, if there is an incident, report it immediately, aren't all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dissatisfied with Yuan Zishan? Isn't Yuan Zishan self-respecting? β
Let a general who leads a million troops personally deal with a rabble of only 10,000 people, the news spread, I am afraid that Yuan Zishan will have to fall to the ground again in the general's mansion, and Qi Donghai also feels incredible.
Within a few days, Wei Bin of the north wind really began to lead the Wei family army to start building momentum, playing the slogan of rehabilitating his father, and almost at the same moment, the news of the expedition in the courtyard mountain village reached the general's mansion, and it was called in the name of giving Yuan Zishan a chance to make meritorious contributions.
And on this day, Qi Donghai happened to be in the palace, what does the emperor of Dashun mean by this? He was still in the Kyoto peace talks in Dashun, so he sent a veteran of such a heavyweight to lead his troops north, although under the banner of killing the rebellious party, but the place where the incident occurred was extremely close to the three states in the north.
Although he had mixed feelings in his heart, Qi Donghai still looked appreciative and satisfied, followed the plateau Gao Gonggong to visit the thousand carp pond in this palace, and from time to time he also praised it, the scenery of the Central Plains of Dashun is really different from Beiliang, one step at a time, and everywhere is exquisite.
A gust of wind blew, a faint smell of fat powder, Qi Donghai looked at the corridor in the distance There was a person standing, slim and elegant, with a bewitching posture, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know who that lady is?" β
Gao Yuan glanced at it, then bowed down and said with a smile: "Lord Qi, this is not the lady in our palace, this is the fourth princess of the emperor." β... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
