87. Chapter 87
Changle didn't expect that she would still receive an invitation from Concubine Xian, the woman who has always been an insoluble mystery for her, she can't turn a blind eye.
Obviously, the same is true of what this woman thinks of her.
Especially after the last time Jiang Mingyu was injured.
Changle weighed the stamping blue lotus print sticker in his hand, which said that Concubine Xian Niangniang would invite her to Concubine Xian's Luohe Palace tomorrow to enjoy the lotus.
Concubine Xian's life is short of water, the name of the palace is named after the Luo River, which means to replenish water, and the palace of Concubine Xian has appropriately dug a lot of small canals, led the living water from the imperial garden, and also placed a lot of water tanks, and the aquatic plants are mainly lotus, but this season is ...... It seems that the lotus flowers are not fully blooming, right?
Changle was obsessed with this post, and he was stunned, when did the 'little monkey' Jiang Mingyu get in, and reached out and snatched the post that Changle was holding in his hand.
Changle came to his senses at this time, and whispered 'ah', and when he looked up, he saw the little guy smiling like a spring flower opposite her, what other flowers did she appreciate, isn't the best flower in front of her at this time?
Changle raised his hand and touched the little guy's fluffy ears, "Yu'er is naughty again?" โ
"Yu'er didn't," the little guy immediately shook his head, so he didn't want to admit that he was 'naughty' in front of Changle, "This post is so beautiful." โ
As he spoke, the little guy skillfully leaned over to Changle's side, "Sister Changle, did you do this?" His eyes were round, like a curious little cat.
Changle remembered that two days ago, she wrote a letter, and stuffed it into the little guy's pillow when she coaxed the little guy to sleep at night.
This time, I don't think it's for him again, right?
"No, didn't my sister teach you? This word is pronounced 'please'," Changle pointed to the words on the invitation card and taught the little guy to read it, "This is connected, read the invitation, it is a post sent when someone is entertaining guests." โ
The little guy can't do this, she has been taught by a boudoir woman, what is it, her uncle should have invited a specialist to teach.
Didn't Queen Zhuang think of this? Or do you think that according to the little guy's current body, you still owe some fire? But the little guy is already five years old, if he doesn't look for Daxian Qimeng, the identity of the eldest prince is empty, and there is no other use.
Changle had already decided in her heart that even if Queen Zhuang didn't mention it, she would mention it to her uncle.
Everyone is not at ease, it's a big deal, she just goes with her, anyway, Li Rongxiang is not in Beijing, and she has nothing to do here, even if there is something, she can't get rid of the little guy who is sticking to her.
"It's an invitation, Sister Changle, who invited you?"
When the little guy was thinking about his enrollment in Changle, he had already opened the invitation card and wanted to find out the clues from it, but he didn't know much and didn't come out too smoothly.
"The virtuous concubine of Luohe Palace," Changle did not hide from the little guy.
"It's her," the other maidens in this palace, the little guy may not be able to remember, but the virtuous concubine Niangniang of Luohe Palace, he will never forget jรฌ, and the nephew of that Niangniang, he will not forget.
Sister Changle said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and when he grows up, when he meets that person again, he will never spare that person.
"What did she ask her sister to do?"
The little guy suddenly became nervous and grabbed Changle's sleeve, could it be that he was going to rob Changle sister with him, I heard that the virtuous concubine of Luohe Palace also has a little/younger brother, who seems to be very cute, and the father especially likes it.
"Enjoying the flowers," Changle looked at the little guy with a smile, "Do you want Yu'er to go with your sister?" The lotus flowers in the palace of Concubine Xian are quiet and beautiful, very good-looking, and there is a little brother, I heard that it is also very good-looking. โ
"Is Yu'er good-looking?" Jiang Mingyu didn't care about whether the lotus was beautiful or not, he only cared about whether the little brother in the Xianfei Palace was beautiful or not, and whether he would like Sister Changle more. He doesn't want Sister Changle to prefer others.
"Let Sister Changle think about it," Changle estimated the time, teased the little guy, and thought for a while, thinking that the little guy was about to cry, so he hugged him and said with a smile: "In Sister Changle's heart, no one is as good-looking as our Yu'er." โ
The corners of the little guy's mouth drooped down, and Ding Dong curled, "Really? "Cute big eyes, bright as stars in the sky.
"Of course it's true," Changle affirmed, among the children she knew, of course, Yu'er was the cutest.
'Let's take a bite', the little guy kissed Changle vigorously on the cheek, "Sister Changle is the best." โ
Changle, "......"
She sued the little guy many times, don't always kiss her, it's not good for people to see, the little guy just doesn't listen, this learning, you have to get it, you don't know how to be polite, you can't stand.
At this time, the two sisters and brothers are not yet conscious, and the little guy always kisses Changle, where is the most strict consequence?
Until one day, this was seen by Li Rongxiang, who dragged the back of the little guy's neck and threw the little guy out of the window......
Fortunately, at that time, the little guy also learned some of the martial arts of the three-legged cat to strengthen his body.
When Changle was dealing with the flower-viewing banquet of Concubine Xian, Li Rongxiang had already arrived at the gate of Tongzhou East City.
The closer you get to Tongzhou, the more refugees will be on the way, and the more you go to Tongzhou, the worse it will be. Lifting the curtain and looking at it, even the ink dye couldn't help but sigh, but Li Rongxiang, who was sitting in the depths of the carriage, did not move.
There were also hungry refugees who looked at their carriages and rushed up to grab them. Naturally, the results were not very good. There are masters of the 'Book of Songs' who dye ink and make up as coachmen, and the refugees with bad intentions can't get to the side of the carriage at all.
Li Rongxiang is not in the mood to be compassionate and compassionate, he is a big deal not to hurt people, but he will never spare them and distribute food to others like what is written in some novels, this kind of thing, Li Rongxiang will never be able to do it.
On the edge of life and death, any thought that should not be there will be bad things. He hates anything that goes out of the way.
Rao, for Li Rongxiang, is already the greatest mercy.
"Sir, shall we go in now?"
Their carriage had been parked under a large tree a few miles outside the city gate for half an hour.
Li Rongxiang closed his eyes slightly, wrapped in the dark red robe, nestled in the corner of the trunk, and wore a plain silver mask on his face that only exposed his eyes, nostrils, and mouth, covering his entire face.
That mask is passed down for several generations, the identity of the Hidden King is kept secret, they want to meet people, usually they have to wear a mask, this mask looks inconspicuous, in fact, it is clever to start work, and has the effect of avoiding danger, no matter how sharp you shoot over, it is also impenetrable.
"What do you say?"
didn't get an answer from Mr.,Instead, I got Mr.'s rhetorical question.,Mo Dye understands.,This is Mr.,It's Mr.,Trying to test him.ใ
"I think...... We shouldn't have gone in. โ
Before, when their carriage stopped here, Mo Ran personally went to investigate, the current Tongzhou City is extremely chaotic, and they are not allowed to enter or exit, if they rush in, I am afraid that it will not play a role, and it is easy to be trapped.
After all, although the name of his husband is good, and the actual title is also high, it is the kind that can never be revealed to the world, once they are trapped in the lonely city, I am afraid it will not be easy to flip.
Li Rongxiang asked lightly: "If we don't go in, where can we go?" โ
After Tongzhou, there is a battlefield ahead, do they want to pass through Tongzhou and directly enter/enter Weizhou, which is not open and glued?
Ink Dye had an idea, "We can retreat to the mountain," Anyway, what they want is the news network, retreat to the nearest sleeping mountain from Tongzhou, and move randomly, it is simply better.
"Retreat to the mountains to be a monkey? What if the guards of Tongzhou City don't have that ability and can't hold Tongzhou? We are in the mountains to collect news from all over the world, and where do we send it? Is it possible to send it to the Holy One to be scolded? โ
Li Rongxiang finally opened his eyes.
He thought about it, Tongzhou City must be entered, and if the general of Tongzhou City can't withstand it, he will have to go up.
Tongzhou is the last guarantee to Shangjing City, if Tongzhou City is lost, it will be difficult to keep the safety of Shangjing.
"What does that gentleman mean......"
"Into town!"
Li Rongxiang had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, a clear gaze like the moon, and his heart was already clear.
There are some things that he must do, and he must do them no matter how many obstacles he encounters, thinking about the beautiful face of Changle who looked at him with infinite sorrow and worry and nostalgia when he left, he only felt that it was not enough to do anything - he could not let his girl be carefree, that is, he was incompetent.
Because of the importance of Tongzhou's geographical location, for example, the generals stationed in Tongzhou are selected and selected, and both ability and loyalty are equally important, and neither can be missing.
These two things sound simple to say, but in fact, it is very difficult to consider. Loyalty is especially important, but it is absolutely not possible to do it without ability. But it's really hard to die today.
Since Emperor Ying ascended the throne for the second time, the positions of garrison general and city guard here in Tongzhou are the top priority of Emperor Ying's consideration.
Now the commander of the garrison in Tongzhou, surnamed Fang, named Kuiyi, led to the post of governor of Tongzhou in the second grade, forty years old, it is the age of young and rich experience, the most important thing is to win the emperor twice, he is a staunch โกโก, royalist, and Emperor Win or the martial arts companion who grew up together since childhood, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is very close.
Tongzhou Thorn History, who partnered with Fang Kuiyi, surnamed Lin, named Haifang, was born in the imperial examination, and entered the Hanlin Academy first, three years later, the county order of Quanxian County was granted, and he walked from the Sanpin Tongzhou Thorn History by virtue of his political performance assessment.
This person was born poor, without any foundation, in the right county to do the county order, by the town of the prince at a glance, recommended to the current saint, after several assessments, Emperor Win after several assessments, feel that this person is useful, all by virtue of Emperor Win to his promotion, only to have today's position, the feeling of the Emperor Win can be seen.
The most important thing is that he has partnered with Fang Kuiyi so far, and there has been no friction, which is really not beneficial, you must know Fang Kuiyi's temper, if he is really stubborn, even Emperor Ying will have a headache.
These pieces of information were already very clear before Li Rongxiang left the capital.
Along the way, there was constant news, about how the pair arranged their troops, how to lead the people of Tongzhou City to resist the enemy, and what measures to take to imperial the city, Li Rongxiang did not know.
Li Rongxiang still has confidence in them, and if they change to a different place, as Mo Ran said, there is no need for him to go in at all, but Tongzhou can't do it, there is no room for any mistakes here.
He came here to represent the saint of today.
No matter how tired Emperor Ying is, who is his own uncle by generation, as his future mother-in-law said, he is a royal prince after all, and it is nothing to reveal his identity to Fang Kuiyi at a critical time, and it is good to suppress the position and play a role in appeasement.
Li Rongxiang planned to take a look around after entering the city, and finally find a place to live closer to the Governor's Mansion.
Even if a death order was set up to 'only let in and not let out', the garrison still checked the people who entered, and asked the eight generations of ancestors about every person who wanted to enter Tongzhou City, what the purpose was and what the purpose was.
After all, at this time, at the beginning of the war, it is certainly not normal for those who dare to go against the current and come to Tongzhou.
Li Rongxiang's carriage did not let go, it was checked several times inside and out, Li Rongxiang and Mo Ran didn't talk much, one pretended to be an uncle and the other pretended to be a grandson, a pair that was a good match, where could they answer the right soldiers.
Fortunately, the subordinate of the 'Book of Songs' who dressed up as a coachman, don't look at the usual words, when it is critical, he can speak well, and make up all kinds of reasons, after layers of inspection, the carriage was able to slowly drive into Tongzhou.
When the soldiers approached the city, the whole Tongzhou City looked quite orderly, although everyone's faces were not easy expressions, and they were walking in a hurry, and sometimes a large number of officers and soldiers rushed by, but there were also a few stalls on the side of the road that were still in business, continuing to do business.
It's just that the inns are overcrowded, and I asked a few in a row, all of them are full, and there are two empty rooms, and I don't want to invite strange guests to stay, and they all say that they want to arrange relatives who have fled from Weizhou in a few days.
The people living in Tongzhou City have not yet adapted to this sudden war. They knew about the war in the northwest for a long time, but the northwest was still in front of them and Weizhou, who would have thought that King Jing, who was sealed in Weizhou, would rebel!
After several turbulences in the previous dynasties, over the years, the lives of the people have been stable and prosperous.
After looking around, they didn't find a suitable inn, and Li Rongxiang finally decided that they would live in the intelligence station of the 'Book of Songs' in Tongzhou.
As the largest intelligence agency of the Great Seal, it is still an organization that specializes in serving the imperial power and only obeys the orders of the supreme monarch, and their 'Book of Songs' has a branch point throughout the Great Seal.
Not to mention such an important customs clearance fortress as Tongzhou, it is an inconspicuous small county and town, they will set up an intelligence station, and if there is a station, there will naturally be a place to operate, so no matter where you go, whether there is an inn or not, Li Rongxiang, who is the master of the Book of Poetry, will have a place to live.
It's just that Li Rongxiang himself doesn't want to live in these news and intelligence stations.
Living in the intelligence station, it means that the identity is made public, there is no place in this world that is absolutely secret, as the master of the classics, he will be known about leaving the capital and coming here, not only the place to stay, but also more......
The 'Book of Songs' is an information station in Tongzhou, which is a century-old shop that operates fabrics in Tongzhou.
This shop, located in a corner of the Tongzhou Governor's Mansion a few hundred meters away, is no different from other cloth shops, the business is also very good, most of the money usually earned is used for the "Book of Songs", a small part continues to turn around business, no one can see the secret behind this century-old shop.
Li Rongxiang's arrival has simply made this small shop flourish.
The owner of the small shop, who is also the head of the intelligence station, never thought that in his lifetime, their small intelligence station would still be able to meet the chief of the 'Book of Songs' from the capital.
Li Rongxiang did not disclose the identity of the scripture master, and he had ink dye and the card order of the subordinate of the Book of Poetry who came with him, which was enough to suppress the entire small station.
After Mo Ran instructed the shopkeeper to sort out a clean guest room in the backyard of the shop, Li Rongxiang got down from the carriage and gave the stationmaster of the small station who followed Mo Ran a cold back.
