Chapter 272: The prince is on the expedition, accompanied by Ye Xici
Of course, Fang Xiaoyu could sense King An's embarrassment. This also made her mood a little gloomy today.
When she changed her perspective on the problem of King An, she already knew how to get along with him.
Anyway, at this stage, he can toss him hard, and everything is for the purpose of Ye Xi's resignation.
Fu Lu saw that the prince was limping and about to leave, and he was very helpless. Today is only the first day, and it has already made the prince who has neglected exercise for a long time so embarrassed, and there are still two months in the future, and he can already imagine what kind of life the prince will live.
He wanted to persuade the princess, after all, the prince was old, and it was not good to suffer so much, but he didn't dare, he wasn't sure if his many things would make the princess even worse, and in the end it would only be the prince who suffered.
Fu Lu sighed, and could only help the prince to leave together. He knew that this was the debt owed by the prince, and now it was time to repay the debt.
But he felt sorry for the prince.
After returning to the room, Fang Xiaoyu carefully thought about many possibilities, trying to find a good explanation for the sudden attack of the Quicksand Country. She always felt that there was some secret behind the sudden rise of troops in the country of quicksand.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the door. Fang Xiaoyu subconsciously raised his head, and Ye Xici just pushed the door in.
"I'm back." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and did not get up to greet him. They don't have to be so polite to each other.
Ye Xici sat next to Fang Xiaoyu with a smile, and didn't even have time to take off his coat, so he said, "The prince is calling, I will go to the East Palace for a while." ”
Fang smiled clearly. It seems that she guessed correctly.
"I heard that you left in a hurry, and I thought something big had happened." Fang Xiaoyu didn't think much about it, just smiled.
However, Ye Xici did not answer Fang Xiaoyu's words. Instead, he looked at her face deeply, as if he wanted to imprint this eyebrow into his eyes, in his mind, in his heart, and in his bones.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xici's eyes suspiciously, and said, "What? Don't recognize me? After saying that, I laughed.
But Ye Xici still didn't smile and didn't answer. just pulled Fang Xiaoyu into his arms, let her chin against his shoulder, and was silent for a long time. Only then did he finally speak: "Tomorrow I will go on the expedition." ”
Before Fang Xiaoyu's brain could react, he blurted out: "What did you say?" ”
Ye Xici let go of his embrace, pressed Fang Xiaoyu's shoulders with both hands, and said with a gentle smile: "The prince urgently recruited me into the palace." It is said that the quicksand country invaded Beiyan this time. raised an army of 500,000, and someone in the court proposed to ask the prince to march in person, and he was accompanied by General Fang. I'm going to follow. ”
Fang Xiaoyu didn't speak, and his mind was a little confused. She had been in the palace to talk with the emperor in the imperial study for most of the time, and she had never heard that the prince was going to conquer in person.
What was the emperor's purpose in concealing this?
Seeing the worried look on Fang Xiaoyu's face, Ye Xici smiled and comforted: "No need to worry. Now that my "Book of Heaven" has also achieved a small success, even if the matter of Beiyan is troublesome. It is also more than self-preservation. ”
Fang Xiaoyu looked far away and said, "This matter is too unusual. This morning, my mother summoned me back to the General's Mansion. I brought it up. It is really unusual that a small country in the country of quicksand can raise 500,000 troops to attack Beiyan. I haven't been able to understand what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, but now I listen to what you said, I actually want the prince to levy it himself, and I am afraid that all this is a conspiracy against the prince or you. ”
Without waiting for Ye Xici to speak, Fang smiled and said, "Who brought up the matter of the prince's personal conquest?" How could the emperor respond? I don't believe that the emperor will not be able to see the cattiness of this matter, and I entered the palace to talk to him for half an hour, but he didn't mention it at all, what kind of calculation did he have in his heart? ”
Ye Xici pondered for a while, and replied: "The matter of the prince's personal conquest was originally mentioned by the imperial historian Li Dong, and it was also responded to by most of the courtiers. Even if the prince is in the faction, there are many people who agree to this because they want the prince to follow his father-in-law to accumulate some military merits. They didn't seem to think that the land of the quicksand country was worth taking to heart, and they thought that the Northern Yan Guards were just taken by surprise and that Sun Yun's mistake alone affected the whole army. ”
"The prince also responded?" Fang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned. Such an obvious problem, no one can see it?
"The prince seems to have this intention, although this matter is strange, but it is also worth the gamble." Ye Xi was helpless. He was originally vehemently opposed to this. However, the ministers of the prince's line responded to many people, and the prince was moved, and his words alone were really difficult to convince everyone.
As soon as he heard about it, he felt that something was wrong. Imperial Historian Li Dongyuan was originally interested in the prince, and the original proposal seemed to be aimed at accumulating military merits and prestige for the prince in the army. In this way, in the face of the menacing second prince, he will also have full confidence and bargaining chips. This matter was generally supported by the courtiers of the prince's lineage.
Fang Xiaoyu frowned deeply and said, "When did Imperial Doctor take care of the prince's affairs?" Is he really interested in the prince? ”
Fang Xiaoyu expressed skepticism. The imperial historian ran to pick up the prince to go on the expedition without doing his job? Isn't that sick what is?
The crown prince is the prince of the country, and he will inherit the throne as the emperor in the future, as long as he does not make mistakes and does not do anything that should not be done, he is a proper prince, accumulating military merits of wool? No matter how great the military achievements are, don't all the people have to listen to the emperor?
Besides, if she is married to Ye Xici, her father will definitely support her. Ye Xici's heart is towards the prince again, which means that the 500,000 soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army are all from the prince's faction, and even the 100,000 soldiers in her hands and the 200,000 soldiers in Ye Xici's hands are all in his heart, so why should he go out to make trouble?
Although Beiyan is the territory of her Zhenyuan army, her father was too indulgent to the prime minister a few years ago, so that there are many hidden dangers in the Zhenyuan army. There must be a conspiracy for the invasion of the Quicksand Country, and the foundation of Beiyan is also shaky, there are enemies inside and outside, and they have to carry the burden of the crown prince, which undoubtedly adds too much uncertainty.
And the reminder in the letter of the fifth prince that he was very skeptical that this incident was going towards Ye Xici or the crown prince, and this time they had to drill into the urn by themselves. Isn't it stupid?
The question is, the emperor actually agreed?
What is he doing this for!! What does he want to do!!
Fang Xiaoyu tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and stabilize her breathing. Then he asked, "Do you want to leave with my father tomorrow?" ”
Ye Xici nodded and said, "I only have one day to pack up, and tomorrow I will leave for Beiyan." I have a hunch that this trip to Beiyan will not be too smooth. But I promise you that I will come back alive. ”
"You're going to come back alive. If either you or my father make a mistake and do everything we can, I will also disappear from the territory of the quicksand country. And those who are behind the plots. I'm not going to let go of any of them either. Therefore, for the sake of the lives of the 700,000 people of the Quicksand Country, it is best for you to come back to me intact. ”
Fang Xiaoyu's heart was extremely irritable, and the tone of his speech was naturally a little rushed.
"Okay." Ye Xici is just one word. A smile calmed down the irritability in Fang Xiaoyu's heart slightly.
"I'll pack your bags. Sleep for a while, lest you be devoid of spirit tomorrow. Fang Xiaoyu got up and took off Ye Xici's coat and pressed him to the bed. Cover him with a quilt. Then he began to help him pack his bags.
From beginning to end, Fang Xiaoyu did not mention the safety of the prince. For her, whether the prince is dead or alive has nothing to do with her at all. Although if the crown prince died, things would be extremely troublesome.
But she didn't care. She must ensure that Ye Xici and Fang Jianzhang can come back safe and sound.
Other than that, it's none of her business when the sky falls.
Ye Xici just lay down and watched Fang Xiaoyu busy sorting out his clothes for him, and the smile on his face couldn't help but ripple. This kind of feeling that someone cares about someone is really good, at least let him have something to worry about, and he will cherish his life very much.
So. He must come back alive.
No matter what kind of conspiracy and subterfuge lie ahead, no matter who those people want to calculate. It doesn't matter if the enemy you are facing is a country of quicksand or someone else......
He must come back alive!
Because someone was waiting for him.
Ye Xici's mood was happy. Because he felt the concern and worry in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes.
But for Fang Xiaoyu, everything that happened today was not so pleasant.
After packing Ye Xici's bags, Fang Xiaoyu immediately called the ink marks and silk bamboo, and then had a calm face, and his aura was gloomy and terrifying.
"Miss......?" Sizhu was a little related, and she didn't even dare to look at the young lady's expression.
"Let's go and find out who the imperial historian Li Dong is, this person proposed that the prince personally recruit, and he must be uneasy and kind." Fang Xiaoyu's face was gloomy, and a shadow was cast in his heart. She didn't like the feeling of being toyed with.
"Miss, the slave knows this person. Before, the young lady asked the slave maid to check on Mei Guifei's affairs, and the slave and maid found out that this imperial doctor had dealings with Mei Guifei's minions. Although they never met, they only exchanged information to each other, but many times, his convenience as a royal historian also asked him to knock on the side of the court and say a lot of good things for the prime minister. It's just that he has taken refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the surface, and he has a lot of influence among the courtiers of the prince's faction. Sizhu said immediately.
"He has dealings with Concubine Mei's minions?" Fang Xiaoyu groaned slightly. She suddenly thought of the letter from the fifth prince of Fang Cai, the secret of Concubine Mei in the letter, and some things about the Prime Minister's Mansion, can you find some connections between the two?
Mei Guifei.
Mei Cangyun.
Ye Shucheng.
Zhou Ling.
Li Dong.
Prince.
There are also five princes.
…………
Fang Xiaoyu combed through all the people who could be connected in his mind, and suddenly said in shock: "Could it be that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone?" ”
Immediately, Fang Xiaoyu's expression became more and more gloomy.
She suddenly remembered a person, and a possible conspiracy behind the scenes.
This made Fang Xiaoyu's heart settle down a little.
It's not scary to have an enemy, it's scary to not know who the enemy really is and when it will give you a fatal blow.
He is in the dark, and you are in the light. He's in a much more convenient position than yours, and it's much easier to get started. And you can only run to his pace. It's just too passive.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't like this kind of passivity, so since she heard this, she couldn't control the irritability in her heart.
Now, however, she had some ideas. Although I don't know how much there is to the truth, at least I have a clue. Then, she must not sit back like this, waiting for the other party to make a move before counterattacking. She needs to make some preparations in advance to deal with the intrigues of her opponents one after another.
Fang Xiaoyu called Sizhu and said something in her ear. Sizhu nodded again and again, and randomly left immediately to do what Fang Xiaoyu told her.
After Sizhu left, there was only one person left in front of him, Fang Xiaoyu motioned for the ink mark to come closer, and said: "This time the prince of the world goes on an expedition, the leafhopper is bound to follow." Are you worried? ”
Inkmark hesitated for a moment, but nodded, as she also realized that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.
"Ye Chan's martial arts are much worse than Ye Qiu's, but compared to ordinary people, he is also a rare master. It's just that this matter shows that some people are calculating, but they can't be careless. You need to mention a few more leafhoppers. Fang Xiaoyu naturally didn't want anything to happen to the leafhopper. In her heart, Ye Chan is already the true destiny of Ink Marks.
Ink Marks nodded, his worry lightened. She knew that the prince was also going to go on the expedition, so Miss naturally wouldn't do nothing and watch others calculate. So she believed in Miss, and also believed that Ye Chan would come back alive.
Fang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said, "Send a few more months of the Shadow Division's people to follow, although this is a battlefield, and the sword and gun are coming, but if the Shadow Division's killing methods are used well, it can lower thousands of troops." There is also Yueji, go and ask Ji Wuya to send a few clever and flexible people. Compared to the chaotic Northern Yan, they are the best as scouts. ”
"Also, the people called Canglan Haige along the way also pay more attention to and take care of it. You go and inform Ke'er and send this matter in the form of a task, if someone makes meritorious service, there will be a reward. Fang Xiaoyu thought of any possibility. She wants to ensure that she can know the news of Ye Xici and Fang Jianzhang at any time.
"The slave understands." Inkmark nodded and turned away.
He knew that this was the guards who didn't believe in Beiyan. Even if most of the guards were soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army, and most of them were promoted by the generals, the general's misjudgment and indulgence of the prime minister in the past few years made the Zhenyuan army full of hidden dangers.
On weekdays, forget it. But once there is a war, this kind of miasma will immediately destroy the morale and stability of the entire army, which is the real reason for the young lady's worry.
The intrigues of outsiders are not terrible, and the terrible ones make knives behind their backs.
Fang Xiaoyu clearly knew some histories that did not exist in this world. Most of the generals who made great achievements in war, and those soldiers who did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to defend their homes and the country, were destroyed in the ignorant hands of their own people.
They did not die on that terrible battlefield, but in the calculations of their own countrymen.
What Yue Fei, what Yang family general, and many other names that have been magnificent and shining in the annals of history, most of them were drowned in the conspiracy and calculation of their own people and died unjustly.
So, she doesn't believe in anyone's comfort. She only believes in her own means. (To be continued.) )
