Chapter 191: The Situation of Chixiao Yurui
The teahouse is a good place to be well-informed, and the restaurant is no different, but a place is more suitable for people in the rivers and lakes, all kinds of gossip, and this kind of thing between countries, the teahouse and other places will be more comprehensive, and the credibility will be higher.
The news I heard in the teahouse was just the beginning of the war, the fighting situation between the two countries, listening to the strength of the so-called siege equipment, almost attacking the Tianfeng Pass, those scholars could speak like a storyteller, which made people look sideways.
It can be seen that these are very powerful people, but what happened has been exaggerated a lot, Shen Zhuru wanted to laugh when he heard it, but he felt that maybe only in this way could he feel the magnificence more deeply.
The steel machinery of the Chixiao Kingdom has caused the Yurui Kingdom to suffer a lot, and after just one day of fighting, it has already lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, not including those injured soldiers, but purely for the number of deaths.
In this regard, even if the teahouse is expanded, there are at least 5,000 people.
The five thousand people are gone, and they have also played the momentum of the Chixiao Kingdom, which has greatly boosted the morale of the Chixiao Kingdom, and the Yurui Country is probably full of gloom at the moment.
After a while, everything that should be listened to is heard, and it is just the same gossip to listen to it any more.
And just as Shen Zhuru was about to leave, he unexpectedly found that a figure on the street flashed away, and the back was very familiar, just like that guy from Gusu Changfeng.
He actually appeared in Baidu City, could it be that he was with Gu Sufeng?
After all, both of them are from the Gusu family, even if Gusu Changfeng has a conflict with the Gusu family. It has become a taboo in the Gusu family, at least there is still a blood relationship, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of breaking it.
"Yueyang. I want to eat fried chestnuts with sugar, you see the small shop over there seems to sell them, can you buy me some. Shen Zhuru pointed to a snack shop not far from the teahouse, there were chestnuts at the door, and some women were picking them up to buy some, and that shop happened to be where Gusu Changfeng entered just now.
"That's right. Buy a silver or two of fried chestnuts in sugar, and go back and eat slowly. Shen Zhuru said, and naturally tapped her fingers on the table a few times.
Yueyang comprehends in her heart, this is the code between the two. It means that there are acquaintances in the place where you are going.
"Miss, do you need to buy some other snacks and go back?"
"It's good for you to look at it, I have all the tastes, you can look at it clearly, anyway, the money is on you."
"Miss. And the slave and maid went. Yueyang blessed his body and went downstairs. And Shen Zhuru was upstairs drinking tea while waiting for Yueyang to come back.
Yueyang stayed in that shop for a while, and came back with a large bag of things in her hand, and handed them all over to the guards who poured them out, and Shen Zhuru saw her coming back, so she didn't stay longer, and directly ordered to go back to Luo Yuan.
That night, Shen Zhuru asked someone to prepare a table of wine and food to pour himself drinks in the room. The candles are placed on the windowsill and reflected on the walls of the house. Don't worry about the candle flame projecting the figure on the window paper and provoking people.
When the time came, Shen Zhuru raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and muttered: "This guy won't be so useless, he can't even avoid this little person, let's touch it smoothly,"
"How could I be so useless, really stopped outside. It's you, what a girl who doesn't make people worry, you said that after you took revenge on Qin Yuxiao, shouldn't you say it, you actually said goodbye without saying goodbye, tired of me looking around for your news, only to know by chance that you were at the Tianfeng Pass. But you're good, within a few days, people came to Chixiao Country, and it was so unexpected. The dignified Fourteenth Imperial Princess, that Bingtuo Yanling has actually become a puddle of hot spring water because of you, your charm is really not small, and you deserve the word disaster to the country and the people, and you are full of red face and disaster water. ”
"Gusu Changfeng, come here, just come here, and say with such a sour mouth, you came here to tell me this, accusing me, aren't you?"
"How dare you, you are the imperial concubine, and you can't afford to offend."
"Come less. But as soon as you came, you ran on the beams, aren't you tired? Shen Zhuru raised her eyes to look at the two legs dangling above her head, and really wanted to chop them all off. It simply affects the appetite.
"I'm not thinking about safety. However, this is very good, and the speech is condescending and very fulfilling. ”
Shen Zhuru grabbed a chicken leg and threw it directly towards the beam.
"Chicken thighs, good stuff. Sure enough, our Xiaoru knows how to hurt people. ”
Shen Zhuru rolled her eyes, "Who is from your family, even if I want to say whose family I belong to, it is also my family's graceful Xiaoru, who has nothing to do with you, so don't talk nonsense here." A chicken leg can't stop your mouth, how about another one? ”
"Really thoughtful." Gusu Changfeng squinted and smiled.
"It's cheeky." Shen Zhuru rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention.
"We're each other." Gusu Changfeng grinned, opened his mouth and took a bite of the chicken leg, eating it with relish.
"You didn't find me?" Gusu Changfeng asked after eating the chicken legs.
"I said I saw it by chance, do you believe it?"
"I want to say I don't believe it, but in front of you, it seems that there are all kinds of accidents, so I will believe it."
"It's really aggrieved."
"Okay, let's stop messing around with you. What are you looking for me for? Gusu Changfeng's face was right.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Gu Sufeng?" Shen Zhuru also went straight to the point and asked.
"You're looking for him?"
"I want to ask if he assassinated Xiang Yu in the West Camp of the Chixiao Country Military Camp two days ago?"
"It's not. Three days ago, Gu Su was seriously injured in an ambush, and I found no choice but to hold his life, and it was impossible for him to assassinate anyone. ”
"It's not him. Did he receive the message I asked Yueyang to pass on? ”
"Roger."
"Is there an arrangement?"
"A master who can only be regarded as a machine maker at most, there are countless countries in various countries, and it makes no big difference whether he kills one or not, not to mention, the news only allows him to be killed, and it is said that because of him, it will affect the situation of the two countries that are evenly matched. With that kid's character, he wouldn't trap his own people because of this kind of speculation without evidence. Not to mention, he was seriously injured before he got the news. Half of the brothers on hand have been lost, and now most of them are wounded soldiers, do you think it is possible to do something for you? ”
"Then you ......"
"It's not me either. Of course, if the person you are talking about was really assassinated by someone else, then I can only say that he is hated by others, and many people wish he died. It's not my hands. Of course, it's not me, it may be your young master, and it may not be your hand. The strength of the people he has on hand is still very good. At least one of the little maids has such excellent abilities. I don't think he's going to be short of manpower. ”
It is not impossible for Gusu Changfeng to say this, and besides, this Mu Fenghua can even operate such a thing as being captured. Even if you are betrayed, it is not impossible to survive in a desperate situation.
"Yueyang."
"Miss, the slave also inquired afterwards. No one did anything. It shouldn't be the hand of someone planted in the Chixiao Country. ”
"Isn't it? Who would that be? Shen Zhuru muttered to himself, although Mu Fenghua's figure flashed for a moment, but when he thought that he still needed to hide, he shouldn't leak his whereabouts at will, let alone turn over all the hole cards in his hand and use them, which might affect his plan.
In this case, it is not impossible to blame it on coincidence.
Just like the appearance of Naihe, it is not because Gusu Feng was ambushed. Let Gusu Changfeng pull it over, and this is the chance encounter in yesterday.
"Since it's not him. That's it. However, it would not hurt for the person I was talking about to remove the benefits of the freedom of the Yurui Kingdom as soon as possible. After only two days of fighting, what about the loss of Tianfeng Pass? DID YOU KNOW THAT? ”
"More than 11,000 people died, 5,000 were wounded, of which 3,000 were slightly injured, 800 were seriously injured, and among the serious injuries, 500 were disabled, and the remaining 300 could still be treated, and they were indeed hovering on the line of life and death. Compared with the tragedy of Yurui Kingdom, Chixiao Kingdom only killed 3,000 people, and in terms of death, the death toll was only a quarter of that of Yurui Kingdom, and it completely fell to the death toll of both the offensive and defensive sides. The reason why such brilliant achievements can be achieved has a lot to do with the siege equipment of the Chixiao Kingdom, because of the novelty, I was caught off guard. In particular, the appearance of catapults, which is the biggest killer weapon for many soldiers' fractures and deaths. There is also the ladder that cannot be cut off, and it all needs to pay a lot of price, so that the other party has not occupied the city tower, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Gusu Changfeng said, obviously not optimistic about the situation.
"You also know that it was because of the siege equipment that the situation changed extremely, do you know why I had to let Gu Sufeng kill this Xiang Yu? Because these things are all experimental products designed and manufactured by him, once he finds the right materials, more and more powerful siege equipment will appear, and at that time, the Tianfeng Pass will be broken. I remember that catapults are not new, and the fact that they can cause such a lot of damage has a lot to do with the accuracy, projection speed, and power of catapults. ”
"Yes." Gu Su Changfeng nodded, and had to admit that Shen Zhuru was the key to what he said, and he no longer felt that Xiang Yu was really not worth the price paid by Gu Sufeng and others, of course, the premise was really as Shen Zhuru said.
"By the way, he appeared in the barracks yesterday and was invited to go, if there is no accident, he is there to save Xiang Yu. I believe that with his shot, this Xiang Yu will not die. That is, the previous assassination failed. ”
"What?" Gusu Changfeng was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "What a coincidence." ”
yes, that's a coincidence.
If there is no help, maybe this Xiang Yu will eventually die.
"After experiencing an assassination, Xiang Yu's defense must be very strict, and there is little chance of assassination, but it is not impossible. If the other party loses his guard, it is easy to kill him. ”
"That's right." Gusu Changfeng nodded, and then thought of something, his eyes glared at Shen Zhuru, "Don't say you want to do it yourself." Don't say I don't agree, even if you Mu Fenghua, they won't agree to risk your life. Let's talk about the war, as long as there are men here, your daughter's family should stay obediently and get involved less. ”
"Gusu Changfeng, do you think I want to join in? I also cherish life very much. If you are not sure that you will kill someone, then I can only deal with it. Don't forget what I do. When we first met, didn't you also see me cooking? What do you think of my cooking? ”
Gusu Changfeng's furrowed brows couldn't help but stretch out because of Shen Zhuru's words.
"Sure?"
"I have always believed in a sentence, everything in the world can be used in medicine, food is actually medicine, a proper match, the silver needle can't find out why, but when you eat it. That's not something that anyone can tell. Not to mention, who said that such a thing as killing people must be violent and bloody, and it is not impossible to kill people without knowing it. The human body is infinitely mysterious, and the slightest change can kill people. ”
Shen Zhuru spoke calmly, with a very calm expression on her face, just like chatting about what the weather was like today, calmly, which made Gusu Changfeng's eyes light up.
"I won't stop you from doing anything, but I hope you can do it before you make sure you're safe, and of course, if you can leave the method to someone else, it would be perfect."
"There are methods, but there are some methods, if you don't have the opportunity to get close, you can't do it without knowing it. There are other methods that involve culinary skills, unless people who are proficient in cooking and can enter and exit the military camp of the Chixiao Kingdom, it is difficult to take the opportunity to do it. ”
"That's a shame."
"It's almost June now, what's the situation in the capital of Yurui Kingdom? Has the situation stabilized? ”
"It's pretty much the same. Now that the battle between the second prince Yu Yinxiang and the fourth prince Yu Jinqiong has entered the white heat, now it is said that the means are higher, according to my inference, it will definitely be known before October. However, the old emperor can't stay up for too long now, and it's only been a matter of three or four months, which has also become a signal for a decisive battle. The three major families in the capital are not moving, and the ten major families have their own teams, once the results are out, the ten major families will be at least halved, among which the Yao family is standing on the side of the four princes, by the way, there is a young man named Mu Jinyang, you should be no stranger, it is said that I don't know how to get the reuse of the jade brocade dome, which is intriguing. However, once the Four Princes lose, this guy will definitely be the first unlucky guy to suffer, on the contrary, if the Four Princes win, his status will rise. ”
Mu Jinyang, what a familiar and unfamiliar name.
I thought this guy had been played to death, but I didn't expect it to be so strong and good.
However, even if the battle for the throne has a result, it will take some time to rectify and control the situation, and Shen Zhuru is really worried about whether the war at this Tianfeng Pass can be maintained until the time when the country is settled.
And all the key lies in one person - Xiang Yu! (To be continued......)
