King Chen ordered Bo Gonggong to send a person to come, and it was the black-clothed guard envoy Falcon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

King Chen asked him, "In the area of Pu'an Temple in Nancheng, how many people are there in the Northern Diwurong Prefecture?"

Falcon replied: "Almost twenty thousand, merchant travelers, their bodyguards, people who come and go, etc., most of them do not stay for a long time, but there are also seven or eight thousand permanent residents. ”

King Chen said: "You take people to secretly investigate, and pay more attention to those burly and suspicious northerners, especially those who are a group of ten people, where they come from, and who and where they often meet, etc. ”

This is a troublesome matter, most of the northerners are burly, and Hayabusa almost has to check all those barbarians, but he does not hesitate, and should leave immediately.

Leng Shuzhu said: "Your Highness suspects that those people have been hiding in Kyoto for a long time?"

King Chen nodded, but before that, he would not have thought that the emperor would raise those barbarian dead soldiers, the lord of a country would actually raise the outlaws of other countries as a drive, if it was known, I was afraid that it would cause an uproar.

After a while, Gong Bo reported: "Your Highness, Prince Leng Gong, Chang Tangong and Mr. Xinyang are coming together, and Chief Zhao has been invited into the flower hall." ”

Leng Shuzhu got up, but hesitated.

King Chen raised his eyes and looked at him, and said, "You go first, it's not good to let the two gentlemen wait for a long time." ”

Leng Shuzhu leaned away, Chen Wang listened to the sound of the door opening and closing, a little distracted, the two of them didn't ask about political affairs, didn't ask about world affairs, Leng Shuzhu was able to move them because of the red dust this time, it must have taken a lot of sincerity.

He stood up and pushed open a window on the west side, the wind carried the snow drifting in, and the curtains in the room were all stirred by the wind, and the study that had been warm by the charcoal fire was filled with the cold wind, and the writing paper on the bookcase was also sprinkled all over the ground, and a slight sound came, King Chen turned around, and saw that there was a flash of light on the side of the gilded copper charcoal stove sitting on the ground, he squatted down and picked up the glowing thing, but it was a red gem.

It was set in the short sword he had given to Wincy before, and it had fallen off, and the sword had been sunk by him into the lotus pond in the courtyard, and the jewel had fallen in this corner.

King Chen looked at the red stone in his palm, which was no more than the size of a soybean, as if it was as red as a drop of blood, which made his heart slightly stuffy, he frowned, threw the gem into the charcoal cage, and watched it merge with the firelight.

Youlan was in the center, Wen Xi was practicing swords in the courtyard, snowflakes fell, she stepped on the bamboo, and then turned over and landed on the bamboo roof, but heard a rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard door.

"Who?" Lin Yu came out in response, went to open the courtyard door, and it was Du Shaojue, the second son of Du, who came through the snow in the early morning, and he asked, "Is the sixth uncle here?"

Lin Yu should be, "The sixth master hasn't gone out yet." "Bian invited Du Shaojue in.

Du Shaojue entered the door, and when he looked up, he saw that in the wind and snow, Wen Xi was dressed in a green arrow coat, standing on the roof with a short sword, his hair dancing in the wind.

He was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily stopped, looking up at the flying figure that the ice and snow could not hide.

Wen Xi jumped off the roof, landed in front of him, and asked, "Second son, are you okay with your injuries?"

Du Shaojue looked at the girl in front of him, his cheeks were slightly red by the wind, his eyes were black and white, and he was sincere and calm, he said, "It's okay." ”

Wen Xi pursed her lips again, "Thank you for yesterday." Several times of confrontation made her look at Du Shaojue unpleasantly, but yesterday he defended her like that, which made her surprised and grateful.

Du Shaojue saw her lips pursed a little red, there was heat flowing in his heart, and even his breathing was no longer stable, since he knew his mind, he couldn't face Wen Xi calmly, which made him a little uncomfortable, he felt that the eldest husband was determined to be in the world, how could he be disturbed by the love between men and women, but at this moment his heart was so chaotic that he couldn't be messed up anymore.

"Second son, sixth master, please come in. After Lin Yu entered the door, he came out again and walked to the road.

"Hmm, hmm......" Du Shaojue suddenly came back to his senses and passed sideways past Wen Xi.

A snowflake was blown to the end of Wen Xi's nose by the wind, "Ah--sneeze-" She sneezed loudly, and rubbed her nose again, she turned around embarrassedly, but saw Du Shaojue stopped, and also looked back at her, her brows were still slightly wrinkled, Wen Xi laughed dryly, she thought that such words and deeds were taboo and collided with Du Ergongzi, Du Shaojue saw that her clothes were a little thin, and said: "The snow is heavy...... but the next words, but I can't say anything, the snow is heavy, go back to the house......

"yes, it's snowing heavily, hehe......hehe" Wen Xi smiled.

Du Shaojue opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, turned around and entered the door, Wen Xi scratched his head, and went back to his room.

Du Yu was in the room, wearing the uniform of a four-rank general, and was sitting upright in front of the desk, he watched Du Shaojue enter the door and said, "Shaojue, what are you looking for me?"

It was the first time for Du Shaojue to see Du Yu so dignified, and he couldn't help but be solemn, he said, "Sixth Uncle is going to Huwei Camp today?"

Du Yu nodded.

Du Shaojue said: "Sixth uncle, Peng Ze'an, the captain of Huwei Camp Huqi, is the son-in-law of Zheng's eighth room, and everyone else is related to Zheng, Dong, Cao, Jiang, Zhou and other families, two months ago, King Chen's cronies Li Chen and others were removed from their military positions by fault, and now this Huwei Camp is like a hot potato, and it is really not a place for the sixth uncle to show. ”

Du Shaojue smiled slightly and said: "Shaojue, there is no perfect place in this world, if I have no achievements, I can't show anywhere." ”

Du Shaojue lowered his head, he thought too much, this Huwei Camp was originally King Chen's territory, but now it is not, he is worried about the current situation of the Du family, "Yes." ”

Du Yu saw that he was depressed and weathered, and couldn't help asking, "Shaojue, aren't you from the mansion?"

Du Shaojue was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, he returned to Beijing at night, and rushed to Lanju when the city gate opened, but after seeing Du Yu, he didn't know how to speak, before his father had always hoped that Du Yu could plan for the Du family, and now that Du Yu has entered the Huwei camp, Du Shaojue feels that things are not quite right.

He saw that the hour was not early, so he said directly: "Sixth uncle, my father wants to move the people of Jingnan, I am afraid that there will be great changes in the palace recently, and my father is in such a hurry, I am afraid that there is something wrong." "Recklessly using military horses is tantamount to rebellion.

Du Yu raised his eyebrows, if Du Yi wants to be ranked among the top three ministers in the future, the official is high and powerful, he can't always take advantage of illness to avoid trouble, he takes a step back and sees the current situation clearly, so he wants to find a good opportunity to come out, then, the people of the Du family are an important weight for him to press on this gambling table, but the Du family is just a minister, it is impossible to transfer troops into Beijing without a purpose, so why are those soldiers and horses useful?

Du Yu's eyes suddenly moved, what the prince said yesterday, after he sent the news to King Chen, he also arranged for some people to visit, but overnight, there was no definite news coming, but if his guess was right, since there were those outlaws related to the emperor over there, according to Du Yi's old calculations, he must have known a lot of things over the years, so the arrangements he had to make this time were probably related to this, it seemed that he needed to talk to his eldest brother.
