Chapter 10: Secret Fighting
Ning Yi's back disappeared at the end of the Mille-Feuille Palace, Feng Zhiwei was silent for a long time, slowly tidied up his clothes, and stood up straight, his back was wet with water vapor on the rockery, sticking to the back of his heart, cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She didn't go to Haoyunxuan to discuss matters, went back to the house directly, and sent a few of her subordinates to lurk near the imperial temple, and when she was on the third watch at night, she heard a few bird calls outside.
She waved her hand, and a black shadow flashed on the wall, and then she changed into her tights and came out, and went straight to the imperial temple.
This time she was very careful, and she took a detour from a distance before slowly approaching the Imperial Temple, and the person she met last time in the Imperial Temple who forced her to go down the wall has been hovering like a shadow in her heart, and her actions have become more and more cautious.
Bypassing the wall to hide the big tree behind the wall, diagonally facing Shaoning's house, the oil lamp reflected Shaoning's figure, and seemed to be a little impatient walking around on the ground.
It was quiet on all sides, and there was no sound of people approaching, Feng Zhiwei just blinked, thinking about whether to come back later, and when he turned his eyes, he found that there was suddenly a shadow in the house!
The man was dressed in men's clothes and had a slender figure, Feng Zhiwei was just thinking about why a man suddenly came, and then he realized that it was Concubine Qing's men's clothes that left the palace.
Shao Ning seemed to be very excited when he saw her, and immediately rushed over and grabbed her.
Feng Zhi slowly moved to a place very close to the other party's eaves without a word.
Shao Ning's voice that couldn't control his emotions came faintly: "...... You tell me, did you lie to me! ā
"Why did the princess say that?" Concubine Qing seemed to be very surprised, "What can I lie to you?" ā
"My ...... My ......" Shao Ning's chest rose and fell silently, and his face was deformed with excitement, "...... These days I've been having nightmares in my head...... I always feel ...... I always felt like there was no ...... that day There is no ......"
"Princess." Concubine Qing pressed her shoulders with both hands, looked directly at Shao Ning, her voice was calm, and gradually pressed down her uncontrollable emotions, "You are too tired, some things have passed, don't think about it, look at me, you look at me-" There seemed to be a little pain in her voice, "I'm the same as you!" ā
Shao Ning raised his face and looked at Concubine Qing in a daze, as if he was startled by her calm and painful gaze, and suddenly threw himself forward and plunged into her arms, and for a moment, a mournful whimper sounded.
Concubine Qing gently hugged her and slowly stroked her back, and she couldn't see the expression on her face from Feng Zhiwei's angle, only heard her say slowly and gently: "...... Good, don't cry, it's all fate, it's all fate, in fact, you also said at the beginning, you don't want ......"
"That was before, after, later......" Shao Ning Huo Ran raised his head and shouted with tears in his eyes, "...... You know what it's like! ā
"I know." Concubine Qing took out a handkerchief, wiped away her tears in person, and said softly, "We, the royal women, are trapped within the walls of this quadrangular palace, who hasn't experienced a conspiracy to pour life and death apart?" In the end, all I can do is to survive......"
"I don't care what you've done." Shao Ning snatched the handkerchief and wiped it himself, he had regained his composure, and said coldly for a while, "I just want you not to hurt me and don't lie to me!" I can't care about your previous affairs and don't want to care, but I have to remind you, it's okay if you and Ning Yi are in an alliance, just don't calculate it on me! ā
Concubine Qing seemed to be silent for a moment, then smiled, and there was a bit of surprise in her tone, "Where did the princess say that?" You know, the King of Chu and I have always been a relationship of mutual use, and it can really be said that the confidant in distress is sincerely entrusted, except for you, the princess, who else? ā
Shao Ning snorted coldly and was silent, Concubine Qing suddenly sighed faintly again, and said, "Princess, forgive me for being presumptuous, how many of you people from the Ning royal family can be trusted?" The one who is truly selfless and daring, that is, the princess, you are too bright, so you are passively beaten everywhere. ā
Her words were gentle and considerate, full of the taste of Shao Ning's injustice, Shao Ning's eyes turned red when he heard it, and he reluctantly said: "He can't be complacent for too long, there will always be a day when he dies without a place to be buried!" ā
"What's the use of cursing here with empty white fangs?" Concubine Qing said leisurely, "For people like the King of Chu, you just took his birthday eight characters as a nightmare town, and I can't guarantee that the eight characters are still fake curses on yourself!" ā
"That's it." Shao Ning sneered, "Isn't my eldest brother just like that yin by him to the netherworld." ā
"The whole court is up and down, and there are not many people who can move him now." Concubine Qing said, "There is probably only one person left." ā
"Who?" Shao Ning immediately asked.
Concubine Qing's chin nodded in the direction of the Wei Mansion on the partition wall.
Shao Ning was silent, and reluctantly said for a while: "You are talking nonsense again, everyone knows that Wei Zhi and Ning Yi have a good relationship, and they secretly help each other, how can the good Wei Zhi be against him." ā
"Let's not talk about whether it will be right, but princess, you said, Wei Zhi doesn't think about the king of Chu, if he really wants to move his real character, he may not be able to give Ning Yi some fierce medicine, right?"
Shao Ning was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Then I don't understand the princess." Concubine Qing smiled, "You know that Wei Zhi has this ability, why don't you marry earlier, and if you have something to do, you can blow some pillow wind?" Even if you can't say that Wei Zhi will help you fight against the King of Chu, with you by your side, through Wei Zhi, you can better grasp Ning Yi's movements. ā
Under the shadow of the oil lamp, Shaoning's shadow seemed to be shaking slightly, and he hesitated for a long time before he said softly: "...... Now, I don't know how...... Face him ......"
"Face, what face?" Concubine Qing suddenly smiled lightly, "You are the princess of Tianhuang and Tiansheng, you see him as a blessing that he has cultivated in eight lifetimes, and he knows all kinds of things in the past but has never shown his face, which shows that he also cherishes you in his heart, so what are you hesitating about?" Do you really want such a bright young man to be robbed by others? ā
"Really?" Shao Ning's eyes widened and he said, "But I always feel that he doesn't like me......"
"Princess, you're too worried," Concubine Qing pressed her hands on her shoulders and looked at her eyes with a smile, "You are right to listen to me, man, one thing on the lips and one behind the back, the face is not pretentious, but in fact, it is in the bones...... Hee-hee. ā
Shao Ning's face slowly flushed, he lowered his head and said nothing, outside the window, Feng Zhi pursed his lips slightly, and silently crushed a piece of bark between his fingers.
Shao Ning was shy for a while, gradually came back to her senses, and frowned: "Why are you so professing me to marry Wei Zhi and Ning Yi?" You have a good relationship with Ning Yi on the surface, but he offended you? ā
Concubine Qing was silent for a moment, then sneered, raised her chin, and said: "The princess won't hide it from you when she asks, yes, he deceived me, obviously the person he was looking for was right in front of him, and he would have been deceived to be far away in the world, if I hadn't been suspicious in my heart and slowly visited, I was afraid that I would have to be deceived by him for a long time." ā
There was obvious hatred in her tone, Shao Ning listened happily, and wanted to ask what was the matter of being deceived, but she also knew that Concubine Qing would not answer again, thought about it, took Concubine Qing's hand, and said, "Sister...... You've got to help me ......."
"I just wanted to help you today, but a great opportunity was wasted by you." Concubine Qing looked at Shaoning's forehead with disgust and affection, and pulled her to the side affectionately, and said, "Let's think of another opportunity in the future, and finalize this matter as soon as possible, you see ......"
The two of them leaned their heads on the oil lamp and discussed how to occupy the bed of the hostess of the Wei Mansion earlier, and Feng Zhi smiled silently under the eaves, this feeling of listening to others calculating themselves is really uncomfortable.
It is obvious that there is a shared secret between Concubine Qing and Shao Ning, and Shao Ning is even suspicious of this, but she was dismissed by Concubine Qing, who was as slippery as a fox, in a few words, and easily led the topic to Ning Yi and herself, Feng Zhiwei was not uncommon to Concubine Qing's approach, the first time she saw this woman, she was stealing the contraceptive pills that Ning Yi gave her, she was just a little curious about the original agreement between Concubine Qing and Ning Yi - listening to Concubine Qing's tone, she helped Ning Yi because Ning Yi also promised to help her in something, but Ning Yi didn't seem to help, He also played her hard, so this woman is now going to take revenge.
Feng Zhiwei pondered in the dark for a while, and then saw Concubine Qing say goodbye and walked away, this woman's light skills are really good, Feng Zhiwei looked at her body method, and thought that she would go to Xiliang another day to find out this woman's life experience.
The figure behind him flashed, but it was Zong Chen, he looked at the direction where Concubine Qing was going, and suddenly said, "Who is that person?" ā
"Concubine Qing." Feng Zhiwei looked at him, "Is there something wrong?" ā
Zong Chen seemed to be distracted, and said for a while: "This method is a bit familiar...... I remember you said that this woman is from Xiliang? ā
"Yes."
Zong Chen was silent for a while, smiled for a while, and said, "It's okay." ā
Feng Zhiwei didn't ask, she took her hand in the night wind, and watched the woman's figure disappear into the darkness with a strange rhythm, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

In the middle of the eighteenth year of Changxi, the imperial court made two major events in a row.
One is the Huofeng Army led by Hua Qiong, who led the troops to fight in southern Fujian, one day by the order of the general of southern Fujian, contacted the defenders of Bazhou County at the junction of southern Fujian and Longbei, but did not prevent Bazhou County from being rebelled by the vanguard army of Changning, the defenders of the city surrendered to the Changning army, and the little prince of Changning ordered the defenders in the city not to change, and the banner was not changed, trying to lure the Huofeng Army into the city and close the gate to slaughter, fortunately, there was a loyal city gate leader in the city, and at the last moment the fireworks were lit to warn, Hua Qiong temporarily retreated from the city gate to return to the army, but the Changning army killed from behind the city gate, Some people say that the fire phoenix was scattered by the alien races in the 100,000 mountains, some people say that the fire phoenix army fell into the poison valley deep in the mountains and wiped out the whole army, and more people said that the general of southern Fujian was jealous of his ability, and he obviously received the news that there was a change in Bazhou County but did not report the fire phoenix army in time, so that the fire phoenix army was hunted down, but no matter what it was, in short, in the 100,000 mountains that are known as stretching for thousands of miles, the fire phoenix army could not be found for a while.
The imperial court received this bad news, Emperor Tiansheng was on fire on the same day, while instructing the general of southern Fujian to continue to search, on the other hand, to appease the world caused by all kinds of rumors and emotions, Tiansheng has been caught in the war for a long time in recent years, in order to support strong military spending, the tax is extremely heavy, and the people are gradually overwhelmed, and now the fire phoenix army, which has a good reputation in the world, has this incident, and public opinion is almost one-sided criticism of the court. The students of the Taixue Guozijian Tongwenguan also stormed the yamen of the various cultural departments in the imperial capital, the Gongyuan sit-in, and the Ministry of Rites demonstrated, demanding a thorough investigation of the anti-water incident in Bazhou County, a thorough investigation of the generals in southern Fujian, and finally dispatched Jin Yuwei to arrest several radical literati, so as to reluctantly suppress this trend.
This incident shook the government and the opposition, everyone was anxious, Feng Zhiwei was also very busy, but one day after she went down to the court, she received a letter from someone, in which someone said that her requirements were more difficult to do every time, and the fake show was more and more difficult to do, and to achieve the goal of sending the fire phoenix into the 100,000 mountains, and to properly preserve each other's strength, and to look realistic, it was really a brain-testing job, Feng Zhiwei just smiled at someone's complaints, and stroked the letter a little sadly, thinking that the three promises had gone to the second, I'll have to make good use of it next time.
When the whole dynasty was anxious about the whereabouts of the Fire Phoenix Army, Ning Yi seemed to be very worried about this, this day Feng Zhi went to Haoyunxuan to discuss matters in the back, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he felt that the atmosphere was different from usual, and everyone seemed to be studying something, and when the first assistant Hu saw her come in, he hurriedly smiled and beckoned, and said: "Xiao Wei, come quickly, I will send you one." ā
Feng Zhiwei glanced at Ning Yi, he was drinking tea calmly, and he didn't look at her, Feng Zhiwei went over and said with a smile: "What good thing called me?" ā
"It's not a good thing, but it's a risk." Everyone got out of the way, only to show a map on the table, Feng Zhiwei glanced at it and jumped - it was a detailed map of the 100,000 mountains in southern Fujian.
"Where did this come from?" She was pleasantly surprised, "Doesn't it mean that few people have gone deep into the 100,000 Mountains so far, and there is no complete topographic map?" Then he picked up the map and looked at it carefully, and sighed in admiration, "All kinds of terrain are clearly marked, it seems that it is not an overnight effort." ā
"Lord Wei has forgotten that His Second Highness once went to the 100,000 Great Mountains?" Hu Shengshan said with a smile, "His Royal Highness was ordered to go to the 100,000 mountains to appease the local natives, and later left a few assistants to be officials in the local area, specializing in the affairs of indigenous appeasement, among which there is a person who is proficient in geography, it took several years to draw this map, and sent it to His Royal Highness in Beijing, but His Royal Highness ignored it. ā
Feng Zhiwei's heart jumped, the death of the second child was the handiwork of her and Ning Yi, and there was such a thing when she checked the family property afterwards, but she was not qualified to intervene at the time, and she had never heard Ning Yi mention it, so she didn't want him to take precautions, so she left this picture early.
The reason why the 100,000 mountains are her internal hiding and developing place is because it is vast and mysterious, and the indigenous people have lived for a long time, and the roads are not passable, and Tiansheng is negligent in management, and the 100,000 mountains in the north are connected to the Hengjiang River in the south of the Hanling Mountains, and the farthest reaches the southernmost end of the Hulun grassland, which can be connected with the Huzhuo Department, and the war horses and water plants are not enshrined, and the west is the Wujiang Plain, which is rich in all kinds of grains, and the 100,000 mountains themselves are continuous, and the walls are thousands of miles, and the forest is in danger everywhere. It is very suitable for military secession, this is a treasure land that Tiansheng has neglected, but it has long been included in her future blueprint.
Now it seems that there is another person who has also set his sights on here before her?
Calculate the time, at that time, Hua Qiong had already gone to southern Fujian to be a general, could it be that Ning Yi had already deduced the next direction of Hua Qiong and her next step, and had already made preparations in advance, if she didn't move, if she moved, this picture could block her way!
If this is the case, Ning Yi's deep thinking and preparation will be on par with himself.
All these thoughts flashed through her, and she smiled frankly and happily, "With this picture, there is more hope of finding the Fire Phoenix Army!" ā
"I think it's fifty percent!" Another university scholar was excited.
Ning Yi smiled and said nothing, looking at her eyes sparkling, not distinguishing between the clouds and the sun.
"It's not necessarily that simple." Hu Shengshan lowered his head and wrote an excerpt, and handed the pen to Feng Zhiwei, "The terrain of the 100,000 mountains is dangerous and vast, and it is not so easy to have a map, His Royal Highness said that while the 100,000 mountains are living in the county, he simply mobilized the locals, divided by the mountains, set up mountain officials, and played the role of post stations and villages, which is a post station and information transmission point in wartime, and conveys all kinds of national affairs of the imperial court in his spare time, collects taxes and releases grain, military towns, etc., and is more rigid than in the past. We think Your Highness's method is very good, and we are discussing a joint letter, come, you can also sign it. ā
The wolf couldn't help but say that it was stuffed into Feng Zhiwei's hand, and it seemed to have a slight weight in his hand, the county, autonomy, integration, and mountain officials...... Ning Yi's actions against the 100,000 mountains before are finally clear step by step, yes, she wants to hide and develop, so he told her in this way - I can dig you out.
The man in the seat smiled slightly, his smile was a little cold, and he looked down idly, as if he wanted to see how she planned to put pen to paper, and whether she would use other methods to avoid this unwillful sign.
Feng Zhi laughed slightly.
He still didn't disappoint her, such an opponent.
It aroused her depressed heart as if she was hot, and the more difficult it was, the more she was forced, and the more she wanted to try the bottom - his, or hers.
"Your Highness is really a tall building, grass gray snake line." Feng Zhiwei praised from the bottom of his heart, waved his pen, and happily signed his name, dried the ink, and presented it with both hands.
"I wish Your Highness success in this performance."
Ning Yi looked at her for a while, slowly stretched out his hand, and took the folded book.
The fingers of the two touched in an instant, and Feng Zhiwei quickly moved away and turned his head.
Outside the house, the midsummer daylight rushed in almost noisily, and in a dazzling light and shadow, the two of them stared deeply, and then smiled.
==
The folded copy of the 100,000 mountains was handed over, and before the approval of Emperor Tiansheng, the seven princes who supervised the army in southern Fujian suddenly wrote to the imperial court, asking for the removal of the general of southern Fujian on the matter of the separation of the Huofeng army, but was stopped by Ning Yi, his reason was that the change of generals before the battle was ominous, and it was better for the general of southern Fujian to make meritorious contributions, and Emperor Tiansheng adopted his opinion.
However, as soon as it was pressed down here, something big happened over there - Xin Ziyan presided over the compilation of "Tiansheng Zhi", which was pointed out to have banned the Great Reverse Text!
