Chapter 188: Competition

Seeing that Xie Ke was listening carefully, Chu Ye continued: "I went all the way and found that someone was deliberately inciting the victims in the north. After the last sentence, Xie Ke frowned, she was trying to remember, remembering what rumors there were about the disaster in the north in her previous life?

It's just that it's been too long, and she hasn't married at this time in her previous life, so she stays in her own courtyard all day long, and there is no one by her side except for the nurse Cheng. And Cheng doesn't know much, only that the entire Great Wei is suffering from a food shortage. As for the riots in the north, it seems to have lasted a long time, and it was finally suppressed.

As for who the emperor sent to the north, and what the reasons for the riots in the north were, she didn't know anything.

In the end, Xie Ke could only smile apologetically at Chu Ye. "Little uncle, I really can't remember."

"Silly girl, if you can't remember, you can't remember, it's not a big deal. You, it's just that your mind is too heavy, and you always feel that everything is responsible, but in fact, from beginning to end, it was your uncle who made it too difficult for you. ”

Chu Ye always knew that Xie Kejue was burdened with a lot of ......

The early death of his previous life, Qi Lu's notoriety, and the fall of the Chu clan plus his ...... Eventually, he died. She always wants to make everything she cares about in this life fulfillment. Whether it is the Chu family, him, or Qi Lu, don't go the wrong way in your previous life. But how easy is it to say?

The development of fate has its own irreversible. In his opinion, many things that the little girl did still failed to change the outcome of her previous life. She said that in her previous life, her mother was assassinated on the way back to Chu to visit relatives, so in this life she tried her best to take the waterway.

But something still happened. The woman actually chased all the way to Wangchuan.

Her mother died early in the end, even if in the eyes of the little girl, his lifeless sister really didn't need to go to that road of no return, but in the end, the little girl still failed to keep her mother.

and her brother Xie You.

The little girl also tried to intervene, but as an unmarried girl, she could interfere too little.

Whether it was Mrs. Xie or her eldest aunt, they were all very satisfied with Xie You's family business. Even Xie You himself finally compromised...... I feel that I should marry a wife who is the right person.

The little girl persuaded Xie You to live with his wife in peace since he nodded. But her brother has always been half-hearted...... Which woman can stand to be treated like this, so the husband and wife end up at evil.

These made Xie Ke feel very aggrieved.

She tried. But the results were still not as good as she expected.

So in the matter of the North. Chu Ye didn't want to put too much pressure on Xie Ke, although the situation was indeed very chaotic at this time, even Chu Ye had a feeling of being in the clouds. Whether it is the guard of Beichen Pass, or the person who secretly instigates the riots in the north. It hasn't been resolved yet. But he came this time. is to discuss with the little girl how to control Beichen Pass.

No matter why Zhuge Hong is derelict in his duties? Holding Beichen in your hands first is the key.

It's just that...... The little girl's obviously preoccupied appearance really reassured him.

"Sister Bao. Do you have something to hide from your little uncle? ”

Cong Rui's reaction just now was very strange, as well as Xie Ke, Zhou's body was filled with a feeling that Chu Ye couldn't speak. It seems that when he is worried, there are still a few different colors of light in his eyes...... What did the little girl hide from him? He always felt uncomfortable not figuring it out. After the little girl got married, she became more and more estranged from him. She used to tell him everything, and there were no secrets between them.

Even if she can take risks for Qi Lu without hesitation, she will definitely not tell Qi Lu about those things in her previous life.

This realization made Chu Ye secretly a little happy. I feel that I and Xie Ke will always have a secret, a secret that only the two of them know...... Even if she is as close as her husband, she doesn't know.

Xie Ke blinked, not knowing why Chu Ye asked this.

She thought about it, as if she had nothing to hide from him except for an extra piece of meat in her stomach.

Although her uncle has always treated her well, and he is the person who knows her best in this world, she still wants Qi Lu to be the first to know about this matter, so Xie Ke shook his head.

"What can I hide from my uncle? My uncle always said that I was cranky, but I think my uncle is really cranky. ”

"Okay, it's me who is cranky, my sister Bao is the most open-minded...... In this case, let's discuss how to make General Zhuge show his fox tail. ”

***

According to Chu Ye, Zhuge Hongnian is nearly forty years old, has been stationed in Beichen Pass for nearly ten years, has a very good reputation in the imperial court, and his temperament is also upright. It is hard to believe that such a person would collude with the rebels in the north and plot against the Great Wei. “…… I have some friends in the rivers and lakes, and I have already asked them to go to Beichen Pass to investigate, and there should be news back in the next two days. When we find his weakness and attack him...... With Qizhen as the center, one-third of the territory in the north has been occupied by mobs. Qi Lu's plan to encroach step by step is also acceptable, but it is difficult to match the chaotic army for a while.

I've come all the way from Qizhen to meet you.

Something was also arranged.

If nothing else, it should be able to cause some trouble for the rebels, and it can be delayed for ten days and a half......

As long as I can stop the rebels for ten days, I can help Qi Lu take Beichen Pass first. As long as the Beichen Pass is held, the rebels will not be able to touch the hinterland of the Great Wei. We're on the verge of victory.

At that time, Qi Lu will also be able to give an account to the emperor. ”

As for whether the emperor will continue to appoint Qi Lu or send another general to recover the northern border, it is the emperor's business, but with Chu Ye's understanding of the emperor, that person will not want Qi Lu to rise so quickly among the upstarts, he will most likely recruit Qi Lu back to the capital, and then give him an errand......

This time in the north, Qi Lu became a person beyond the emperor's control. For such a person, it is natural to see it from time to time.

The two discussed some details again, and Chu Ye got up to leave.

In the next few days, all kinds of news were delivered to Xie Ke like snowflakes, and Xie Ke finally let out a long breath. He Zhang had already found Qi Lu, and the two even conspired to put on a good show and subdued a tribe of several hundred people.

Zhao Song finally escaped from the hands of the rioters, but he lost his troops, and the news said that Qi Lu arrested Zhao Song at that time.

He committed a crime, beat twenty military sticks in public, and became a guard in front of Qi Lu's tent...... Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin cooperated very tacitly, so that Qi Lu no longer had to worry about the future.

And the capital finally came to the will, and Zhuge Hong, the guard of Beichen Pass, led 50,000 troops to annihilate the rebellious army in one fell swoop. is really exactly the same as Xie Ke's guess, Emperor Renhe can't stand the right to be provoked like this.

In the end, it is reasonable to order Zhuge Hong to lead the troops to fight, after all, Zhuge Hong has a good reputation in the court, and he has been guarding Beichen Pass for several years, so it can be said that he has been dealing with the people in the north for several years, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles.

It's just that this news is really not good for Qi Lu Xie Ke and others.

They knew that there was something wrong with Zhuge Hong......

Chu Ye was investigating deeply at this time, and the emperor decreed, wouldn't this person blatantly lead troops to cross the Beichen Pass...... However, Qi Lu said in the letter that Xie Ke did not have to worry, he had his own way to deal with it.

The letter also said that they thought of luring the wolves to the place where the enemy was camping, and this 'strange soldier' attacked the enemy without the power to fight back, and the northern men were no longer strong, and the two fists were difficult to defeat the wolves, and the other party suffered heavy losses, and Qi Lu took the opportunity to capture a small city. At this time, while recuperating in the city, while waiting for the mob to attack, it is considered to be leisurely and work.

When Xie Ke saw this, he said in his heart, this person was a little bolder.

She had seen the wolves, and it was really a wolf pack, and the blood was flowing like a river, and she didn't know how the young man led the wolves to the enemy camp.

After the little uncle Chu Ye left here, he went directly to Beichen Pass, at that time Zhuge Hong had already led the troops into the north, taking advantage of the emptiness of Beichen Pass, the little uncle secretly teamed up with Qi Lu to really capture Beichen Pass. The people guarding the pass have been replaced by the henchmen of the little uncle and Qi Lu, but on the surface, everything is the same in Beichen Pass.

And Zhuge Hong led the 50,000 elite soldiers, and after entering the northern border, he concealed his whereabouts...... Later, Qi Lu found out that Zhuge Hong really colluded with the rebel army in the north. After that, you fought a few battles back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, it was March Day. The March day in the north is not like Guanli, and Jian'an at this time is already a time when willows are flying and the mountains are full of peaches. But March in the north is windy.

Although it is almost time for the herd to return to the depths of the forest, the people of the village will move back to the village at this time of year.

It's just that this year is different from previous years, most of the men in the village left with Qi Lu and Daying, leaving only a few weak ones to act as guards. Naturally, Xie Ke's guards were only responsible for Xie Ke's safety, and they would not pay attention to these people from the north...... Considering her current physical condition, Xie Ke decided to stay in the cave for a while longer, the child in her womb has been three months old, and the baby is considered to be stable.

It's just that the timing is still not suitable to tell Qi Lu about this......

After all, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is really a good one, you can still be trapped for a few days, if you go back to the village, there is no such convenience.

The leader of the Great Eagle had commanded that in his absence, all the people of the village should act in accordance with the orders of the 'Madame'. So Xie Ke decided to stay in the cave for another month. In April, when the north ushers in real spring, they come out of the cave again......

In the meantime, there was another thing that worried Xie Ke.

In her previous life, her grandfather died in the spring of this year...... At that time, the Xie family will definitely go to the capital Qi Mansion to report the funeral. And she should go back to Jian'an to worship because of her filial piety...... Qi Lu was ordered to go out of Beijing, but she was not a woman in the house, and if her grandmother and father asked, she didn't know whether she should tell the truth.

Old Madam Xie will definitely reprimand her for not respecting women's virtues. And my father Xie Nian, I'm afraid that he will find Qi Lu and his uncle Chu Ye to fight hard.

is that she is happy and inconvenient, and Qi Lu should also do her filial piety on her behalf. (To be continued......)
