On the snow-white woolen blanket, the woman's gorgeous dress twisted and turned, drawing a gorgeous red. The crimson veil hid her countenance, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes, which were a pair of beautiful eyes, which were extremely clear at a glance, with a kind of innocent bewitchment, as if as long as they were looked at by those eyes, they would be intoxicated to an unknown death.

The gray-clothed man stood under the woman, and his voice contained a trace of imperceptible nervousness: "Holy Maiden, Jiang Xinzhi has escaped, and there is someone on the other side of the Liao Shui River, but he didn't catch up." ”

There was silence for a long time, and then a lazy female voice came from the air: "Really? You can't do this little thing well, Yuanchuan, the more you live, the more you go back. ”

"The Holy Maiden taught." Yuan Chuan lowered his head and said, "But although we ran away with Jiang Xinzhi, we didn't gain nothing this time." There is news in the capital, the matter of food and salary has failed, and their spies have not found out, but our people have already found the signs, and the people who did it are lurking in the Jinying Palace. ”

The words "Jinying Palace" obviously moved the woman in the seat, she turned her head, and there seemed to be a slight smile in her voice: "Oh? Who is that? ”

Before King Jinying left, he took his two brothers, Qi Si and Xia Wu, back to the capital, and now both of them live near King Jinying's mansion. But King Jinying's purpose in taking them over was to protect Princess Jinying, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Xinzhi's sister, and now the lord of Hong'an. This time, the food and salary matter is different from Qi Si's previous style, and the news that his subordinates came back, if it is correct, it is probably from the hands of Princess Jinying. ”

The woman on the seat did not speak, but there seemed to be a tense atmosphere spreading in the air, and all the servants around lowered their heads, and I don't know how long it took, the rising incense was almost about to burn out, Yuan Chuan maintained a respectful posture of bowing his head and did not move, only to hear a sneer slowly coming from above: "Princess Jinying?" What's that? ”

Yuan Chuan cautiously glanced at the woman above, those bright eyes instantly became deep, and a familiar emotion quickly crossed. I saw that the woman stood up slowly, she was not tall, she could be called petite, and a red bright skirt outlined her slender figure undoubtedly, and her every move was charming, this charm was not the charm of the woman in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, but with an innocent posture. It's as if it's like it was born like this, like a beautiful young beast born in the first place, born to seduce.

"He burned our food, and the soldiers in southern Xinjiang could not participate in this war." She said word by word, her voice was still as lazy as ever, but her words were extremely calm.

"Exactly. The news has already been transmitted from the Tianjin Kingdom, and it is impossible for the military salary to provide too much, I hope we can figure out a way by ourselves. Yuan Chuan said: "What does the holy woman mean?" ”

The military salary was burned, and then the soldiers could no longer stay here, the Tianjin Kingdom is now too busy to take care of itself, and there is a lack of trust in southern Xinjiang, so he is unwilling to pay extra military salary, how can a little military salary solve the urgent need. If Southern Xinjiang still wants to help the Tianjin Kingdom deal with the Jin Dynasty, it will be thankless.

"A treacherous man is not worthy to be my ally." The woman said coldly: "The Tianjin Kingdom is going to be defeated. They themselves know the way, that's why it's like this, Yuanchuan, you go back and order, the alliance is over, and let the soldiers return to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively: "Holy Maiden, just go back to Southern Xinjiang like this, and the Dajin Dynasty will be there...... The saint is ready to give up? "Why did he want to form an alliance with the Heavenly Jin Kingdom, Yuan Chuan knew better than anyone else, and now when he heard about the Holy Maiden's decision, he felt incredible in his heart.

"Yuanchuan, when did I give up?" The woman sighed, but her eyes became a little strange: "This loss, in the final analysis, is because something went wrong in the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and the daughter of the Jiang family you mentioned really makes me a little displeased." You have captured the god of war of the Great Jin Dynasty for so long, and you have interrogated it every day, but what has happened to the interrogation? ”

Yuan Chuan lowered his head guiltily: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they failed to find out Jiang Xinzhi's truth." ”

"Wrong," said the saint, shaking her head, "he said it a long time ago, but you didn't find out." ”

"Yuanchuan is blunt, please make it clear to the Holy Maiden." He looked at the woman puzzled, but heard the woman's lazy and soft voice coming: "You interrogate him every day, but he refuses to say anything, and he won't let go of even the slightest clue." As far as I know, Jiang Xinzhi marched and fought in the army, and his behavior was not such a cautious person. With such care, the person who protects it must be an extremely important person. I heard the news that Jiang Xinzhi had a very good relationship with this Jiang family woman, and when Jiang Xinzhi returned to the capital of the Dajin Dynasty at the beginning, it was this Jiang Ruan who rescued him from the ambush circle. Since these two siblings met, Jiang Xinzhi's official road has been rising steadily, and the journey has been smooth, do you think this is a coincidence? ”

Yuan Chuan was startled, and he had already figured out many things. He looked at the woman and said, "Is the holy woman suspicious......?" But she is just an ordinary woman, how can she know so many things in the future? "There are many talented people in the world, but a deep woman is too hard to believe in any case.

"As a citizen of Southern Xinjiang, you yourself are also from Wule, what is impossible?" The voice under the veil of the saint was beautiful, and when you listened carefully, it contained a faint murderous intent: "You ignore these things, because you don't take her to heart, and you don't think she is your opponent." And I, in the first place, didn't think about saving her life. ”

Yuan Chuan lowered his head: "The holy woman is wise." ”

"He actually invited all his fellow disciples and brothers back to the capital to protect her, I used to think that she was so clever that she could be used by me, but now it seems that it is annoying. The concubine of the Jiang family, who was able to break through the secret disguise installed by our people in the capital quietly, and Xuanli was also defeated by her waste, which opened my eyes. I heard that Xiao Shao won the Tianjing, and the class teacher will marry her after returning to the court? She suddenly chuckled softly: "It's ridiculous to listen to!" ”

She didn't say anything heavy, and her tone was always as lazy and soft as before, even with a little sweet charm. But Yuan Chuan shuddered when he heard it, he had been by the side of the saint for so many years, and he knew too well what she wanted to do. The more this is the case, the more it shows that the hatred in her heart is deeper, and the more ruthless she is. Finally, Yuan Chuan couldn't help but ask: "Holy Maiden, do you want to attack her?" ”

The woman glanced at him: "Someone will be more anxious than us, you think of a way to leak the news to Xuanli, just say that the matter of burning the granary is the idea of the Jiang family's daughter-in-law." Now I can't leave, there are some things in the Jin Dynasty that should start moving, Yuanchuan, on the day when the Jin Dynasty class teacher returns to the court, you will be mixed into the team and follow to the capital. ”

"Holy ......?" Yuan Chuan was stunned and said, "This is the beginning of the action?" ”

"The group of people in the Jin Dynasty are becoming more and more unhelpful now, and the only one I can trust is you." She looked at Yuan Chuan with a smile, her beautiful eyes flashed like a good jewel, like a girl looking at her most beloved lover. She said: "Yuan Chuan, in addition to doing what I arranged, you also have a task, Xuanli is too incompetent, if he can't kill the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, you will kill her for me." I don't want to see her live too long. She said slowly, word by word: "The class teacher will get married after returning to the court?" I also want to see what it is like to marry a corpse. ”

Yuan Chuan's heart froze, and he responded respectfully, turned around and walked out of the tent.

……

Time seemed to pass quickly, and there was no bad news from the border pass, and Vice General Jiang heard that he was also rescued by King Jinying, and he was tortured all over his body, but he still gritted his teeth and did not surrender. Such a tough guy made the emperor's heart happy, and the previous rumors were self-defeating, and the courtiers who were still watching had other thoughts, estimating whether it was possible for their daughter to marry the Jiang family.

This Jiang family is also strange to say, the original Qingliu family, but I don't know what bad luck has been taken in the past few years, first the housemother gave Shangshu a green hat, and the original name of the fairy Miss Jiang Er's reputation for self-love was ruined, and later the second young master Jiang also conspired against the Xia family and burned the granary, the emperor saw that the Jiang family was so unhelpful, Jiang Shangshu's career was also over, and the Jiang family was not far from decline.

But if you want to talk about the decline, the Jiang family has also produced a Hong'an county lord who is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager Yide, and the young master Jiang is even more famous as the god of war of the Great Jin Dynasty with an immeasurable future, and even a fourth lady who came out of the concubine has now climbed to the third grade Jiang Zhaoyi. From this point of view, Jiang Shangshu's life is not sad. Some good people inquired that Jiang Shangshu was originally partial to the two brothers and sisters of Jiang Chao born by Xia Yan, and he was snub to the two brothers and sisters of Jiang Xinzhi born to his deceased wife, and Jiang Dan was even more so. Who knows that feng shui takes turns, and the two brothers and sisters who were the most unfavored are now the best, and the Jiang family relies on them to shine in the court, which is really embarrassing.

At this moment, winter has passed, and the new year is coming, but the weather is still as cold as ever, and snow particles are falling from the sky. Jiang Ruan stood in front of the courtyard, the snow particles falling to the ground and melting rapidly, and her light red dress was like a fire in the snow, scorching its brilliance.

Qi Feng stood beside her and suddenly said, "Third brother is coming back soon." ”

The war between the Jin Kingdom and the Great Jin Dynasty has reached the beginning of this year, in the end, the dust is going to settle, the Tianjin Kingdom has angered the national prestige of the Great Jin Dynasty, such as today's Jin Kingdom is losing and retreating, Xiao Shao led the Jin Yiwei to act ruthlessly and cruelly, almost to the city, the Tianjin Kingdom is now at the end of the road, to the Great Jin Dynasty surrender, but it is only a matter of time. And today, Jin didn't even have the strength to resist stubbornly, and as soon as the war ended, Xiao Shao naturally rushed over non-stop.

Jiang Ruan bowed his head lightly, and Qi Feng said: "When the third brother comes back, you will get married." Speaking of this, he actually felt a trace of bitterness in his mouth, he turned his head, and the girl in front of him was dressed in light red clothes, as if thousands of lights were sprinkled on her. The eyebrows and eyes are bright and charming like flowers, and they look warm like a fire, and only when they get closer do they realize that they are just a piece of ice. These days he was by the girl's side, watching her strategize, watching her unpredictable, but as casually as if he didn't care about everything. He occasionally wondered if all the things in this world couldn't get into her eyes, and now that he said the news that Xiao Shao was about to come back, Jiang Ruan's thoughtful appearance fell into his eyes, and Qi Feng immediately understood.

He hid the emotion in his eyes and quipped: "Third sister-in-law, on that day, I see that all the brothers in Canaan Mountain will come back to ask for a cup of wine to drink." ”

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Her attitude is always so detached and not close enough. Qi Feng opened his eyes, found an excuse and left. Jiang Ruan was left alone to stand in the courtyard, winter went to spring, and many things happened this year. Xiao Shao, who was originally at the border pass, came back with the news that Zhao Jin actually went to the border pass, which was really unexpected by her, and Zhao Jin also rescued Jiang Xinzhi. Zhao Jin was originally from the family of military generals, and he did things with the bold style of a man, Jiang Ruan informed Mrs. Zhao of the matter, Mrs. Zhao was relieved, the two brothers of the Zhao family were reasonable and did not embarrass too much. It's just that Lin Zixiang knew that the Jinying Mansion came to blame Jiang Ruan for this matter, but he didn't complain about Jiang Ruan, saying that Jiang Xinzhi had taken Zhao Jin away at will like this, which was really unreasonable, and it really made Jiang Ruan a little helpless.

Speaking of Lin Zixiang, now he runs to Jinying Wangfu frequently, but not to see Jiang Ruan, in the end, the drunkard does not mean to drink, and Xia Qing originally didn't know why to form a bond, but later the misunderstanding was eliminated, and the two didn't know when they talked happily, Xia Qing seemed to like Lin Zixiang very much, but these two people's minds were too clear, but it was difficult to understand their minds.

Bai Zhi and Ye Feng are also a little close now, and Bai Zhi will also send some snacks to Ye Feng from time to time. Ye Feng is also Xiao Shao's former right-hand man, and he is also a man with a very good status in other places, but he comes to find a reason to say a few words to Bai Zhi every day regardless of his identity, and a fool can see what he means.

Compared with Bai Zhi and Ye Feng's gentleness, Dew Drop and Jin Er are fighting all day long, and the two will quarrel as long as they bump into each other, and people with a discerning eye can see what it is for. It's a pity that one of these two looks like a gentleman all day long, and the other is very smug all day long, and they don't know when they will be able to achieve positive results.

Jiang Quan now refuses to even come to the Jinying Palace, since Jiang Chao was in trouble, Jiang Quan asked Jiang Ruan to save Jiang Chao in an ordered tone, but Jiang Ruan ignored it. After Jiang Chao died, Jiang Quan seemed to be ten years old overnight, and when he looked at Jiang Ruan again, he was already like a stranger. His mind was clear to Jiang Ruan, and he had a grudge against Jiang Ruan. Now Jiang Quan has taken a few more concubines, it seems that he wants to stay for the Jiang family - he never wants to treat Jiang Xinzhi as his son. Jiang Ruan sometimes feels strange, as in his previous life, Jiang Quan is a man who loves power and climbs up the ladder by all means, and now she and Jiang Xinzhi can take the Jiang Mansion to a higher place, but Jiang Quan has never wanted to please them, and even hates them as always. Maybe some people are born with injustice, hatred is innate, no matter what Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi do, as long as they are Zhao Mei's children, Jiang Quan can't like it. His side as a father is always open to Jiang Susu and Jiang Chao.

Since the food turmoil, Xuanli is still very silent, and there is no other movement. Obviously, the collapse of the Xia family caused huge losses to Xuanli. In the past year, he disappeared, and he was a prince in the court, and he didn't even do anything in private, most of the original power was destroyed, and after the Xia family fell, it was difficult for him to find a replacement for the Xia family. The fifth prince Xuanhua is becoming more and more calm, and even the thirteenth prince Xuanpei has the emperor's blue eyes, and even the Empress Dowager Yide likes it very much. The prince seems to have learned a little smarter now, and he is no longer as ridiculous as before, and there are so many opponents for a while, and I am afraid that it will not be easy for Xuanzhong. However, this does not mean that Xuanli intends to give up, on the contrary, Jiang Ruan knows her very well, Xuanli does not do it now, because he has not yet found a suitable opportunity, this person is the best at Taoguang and obscure, once there is an opportunity, he will naturally make a move without hesitation.

Jiang Dan has now risen from a beauty to a third-grade Zhaoyi, and now she is really in the palace, from the queen to the palace maids, they all appreciate her very much. Even a strict person like Empress Dowager Yide can't find fault with her, she has secretly colluded with Xuanli, and she has a good life, a careful and smart person, who hides his ambitions very well, and rises step by step in the palace, step by step is very stable. She is doing well, but Jiang Ruan is not in a hurry, this prosperous world is just a hunting with one hand, and it depends on who is more patient. I've endured it all my life, so why wait a few days?

Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to catch a drop of snow, which quickly melted in his palm. The New Year is coming, and in a trance it seems to be back to the year of rebirth, she shrunk in the dirty house in the Zhuangzi of Zhang Lan's family, she couldn't even burn charcoal, and woke up from the blood-soaked previous life, full of cruel reality, the enemy was high, and she was below.

Time flies, and now she is standing in the Jinying Palace, her position seems to be upside down, and the dead and wounded of the enemy, but she is intact. Thinking of Fang Cai's words, Xiao Shao should also come back, the big wedding that he couldn't wait for in the previous life, but now if it starts at this time, this cold-hearted and cold-hearted her, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

……

In the Eighth Prince's Mansion, the guards under him knelt on the ground and announced: "Back to Your Highness, there is news from the border pass, and the Tianjin Kingdom can't stand it." Jinyiwei has entered the Tianjin mark, and the Tianjin country is sincere. ”

Xuan Li sat in the middle of the room, but his face was very gentle, and it was clear that his subordinates were returning such unpleasant news, but he seemed to be very happy, and his smile was even like a spring breeze, which was really a little strange.

The staff didn't dare to say a word, this year, Xuan Li has suffered a blow from the Xia family, but his actions have become more and more calm. For example, joy and anger are invisible, and he has already cultivated perfectly, if Xuanli was able to skillfully put on a gentle mask on his face before, now this mask has been integrated with Xuanli.

"Faster than I thought." Xuanli sighed: "Is it true that you can't destroy Jinyiwei?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, now that we have not completely confronted the Jinying Palace, King Jinying has always maintained neutrality in the court, and it is better to avoid it." A staff member stepped forward to persuade him. Xuanli's strength has now been weakened by half, and it is really not a knowingly move to confront Xiao Shao, besides, Xiao Shao has always cared about the affairs of the court, if he can avoid contact with him, he will definitely be able to save a lot of things.

"It's late." Xuan Li smiled: "Do you really think we can live in peace with the Jinying Palace? He raised the letter in his hand: "Everyone, do you know whose hand it was to burn down the granary and the fall of the Xia family?" ”

The staff looked at each other, the people sent by Xuanli have been investigating this matter, but in the end nothing has been found, Xuanli is very angry about this, which is also a piece of his heart. Looking at him now, does he already know who is behind the Dao?

Xuanli said calmly: "It's Princess Jinying, Jiang Ruan." ”

"How so?" Everyone in the room was surprised: "That Princess Jinying is just a woman, how can she do such a big thing, and besides, she can't be unpredictable." If all this is the handiwork of Princess Jinying, wouldn't she be too terrible? What the hell is she doing to do this, to oppose His Highness? ”

"I know that you are surprised in your hearts, but this palace also tells you frankly that this matter is indeed the handiwork of Princess Jinying." He said meaningfully: "You think that Princess Jinying can't do this, there is no reason to deal with this palace, but have you ever thought that this represents the meaning of King Jinying?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Xuanli looked around for a while before he said, "Princess Jinying may not have been instructed by King Jinying?" In fact, Xuanli Zhilu Dao was not credible, and he was extremely surprised when he learned from the spies that Jiang Ruan was the person behind the Xia family's turmoil, but he believed it almost immediately. He always felt that Jiang Ruan was a little weird, although he knew that this suspicion was a little inexplicable, the other party was just an official lady who didn't understand anything, how could he have such powerful means. But every time he saw Jiang Ruan, Xuan Li would have an indescribable feeling, and he always felt that Jiang Ruan had a hidden hatred for him. Although he asked himself, he hadn't done anything to make Jiang Ruan hate.

After Zhilu told the news, Xuanli was extremely angry that his great cause was ruined in the hands of a woman. Jiang Ruan's arrangement cost him a Xia family, and later even lost the 800 carts of military salaries, which really cost his wife and soldiers. Every time he thought about it, Xuan Li wanted to kill that woman immediately.

"Xiao Shao is about to return to the court." Xuan Li smiled: "I want to give him a gift." ”

Jinying Wangfu is a very special existence in the Jin Dynasty, for so many years, he can't even touch the real strength of Jinyiwei, if he has had other thoughts about Jinying Wangfu in the past, now he knows that Jiang Ruan's harm to him is like the last straw that crushes the camel. Sometimes some things have to be taken risky, Xuanli doesn't want Jiang Ruan to marry Xiao Shao, if Jiang Ruan is really as scheming as the spy returned, and then with Xiao Shao, the strength of the Jinying Palace's power will be too terrible.

Taking advantage of Xiao Shao's lack of return, he needed to confirm one thing and solve a trouble. Xuan Li slowly clenched his palms.
