In order to defeat the Yan army in the shortest possible time, Yicheng and Xiangyang battled, the Huan army sent troops to fight almost day and night, and after entering Xiangyang City, Xiao Moheng ordered the armies everywhere to rest and recuperate.

On April 20, the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Xiao Moheng held the Chinese book in his hand and sat in the study with a sad face. Jiang Mei, who rushed to hear the news, stepped into the study quickly, and as soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw the familiar figure next to the desk, only to see Xiao Moheng leaning on the table with half of her body, supporting her head with one hand and holding a document with the other, the corners of Jiang Mei's mouth were slightly raised, and she had already guessed in her heart, so she asked as she approached: "Your Highness, has there been a letter from the court?" ”

"Yes, a lot of praise," Xiao Moheng said expressionlessly.

"Haha...."Jiang Mei smiled: "This is as it should be, His Royal Highness sent troops in January, and then took back Xiangyang, such military exploits are unprecedented!" ”

Xiao Moheng glanced at her angrily, she knew why she was annoying, but she was embarrassed to joke, so she said weakly: "The court said that the military salary is not enough, and the implication is that let's guard Xiangyang and don't send troops again!" ”

Food and salary are always the most critical part of marching and fighting, and without sufficient food, no matter how wonderful the strategy is, no matter how good the fighting team is, it will be powerless. And now that the military rations transported by Gao Chi have been exhausted, and the imperial court is about to run out of food, where will he get so much grain to send troops to Chang'an!

Jiang Mei knew his worries early, if she hadn't thought about these problems earlier, she wouldn't have established Yiyun Pavilion. Yiyun Pavilion has been established for eleven years, and has secretly stored countless grains, and has also accumulated a huge amount of silver taels. This is all preparation for the Northern Expedition, so the problem that makes Xiao Moheng frown is not a problem for a long time.

Jiang Mei thought for a moment. Said: "Your Highness, on Shouchun's side, although General Deng Rui defeated Ji Fangzi, Ji Fangzi did not retreat, the battle of Shouchun is far from over, on the eastern front, the eldest prince and Shi Bing have occasional battles, and the food and salary at these two ends must not be broken, so please ask Your Highness to promise the imperial court first, let them send military food to Shouchun and Huaiyin." Support the two generals Deng Rui and Shi Bing to fight! ”

Xiao Moheng nodded. frowned slightly and said: "I understand this, Xuzhou is okay, there is Yiyun Pavilion secretly providing food, and Shouchun really needs the help of the imperial court." I'm not worried about that. Shouchun is the closest to the capital. The imperial court will not take it lightly! What's more, Deng Rui is a general appointed by his father and emperor himself, and no one in the court knows that he is my person. What worries me the most is the food in Xiangyang, where we now have 200,000 troops. Chang'an must need a huge amount of food in the north, once the imperial court runs out of food, how can we be good! ”

The more Xiao Moheng said, the more worried he became.......

Jiang Mei looked at him, thoughtful, and after being silent for a long time, she replied, "Your Highness, I'll try to contact Xia Yiyun Pavilion!" ”

As soon as Yiyun Pavilion was mentioned, Xiao Moheng had another plan in his heart, it seemed that he had to try, Jiang Mei said this, but he didn't care much, just replied: "Okay!" ”

Jiang Mei saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so she didn't say anything more, and retreated after a while.

When Jiang Mei came back, she saw Luo Jue waiting for her in the room with a dark face.

She took the teacup from Ru Hui's hand, took a sip of tea, and then asked Luoxuan, who had an indifferent face, "Brother Luo, what happened?" ”

Luo Jue frowned, glanced at her, and sighed: "Beihe sent someone to hijack our caravan transporting grain, and sent a henchman to Xiangyang to trade with us!" ”

"What?" Jiang Mei frowned, with an incredulous expression, "He wants food, just rob the grain and it's over, and send someone to negotiate what to do?" ”

Jiang Mei glared at the roof twice, she was really angry.

"Did he say he was going to trade anything?" Jiang Mei turned her head and asked,

"No, I just made an appointment to meet us tonight at a wine shop in the northeast outside Fancheng!" Luo Jue replied lightly,

"Who's coming?"

"Yu Yanbo!"

Hearing this, Jiang Mei immediately turned around and looked at Luo Jue with wide eyes, "Beihe actually sent him!" "Yu Yanbo is the core figure of the palace, and Beihe sent him to Xiangyang, there must be something extremely important.

Suddenly, Jiang Mei's eyebrows jumped, she realized something, she looked at Luojun seriously, but saw that Luoxuan's expression was a little unnatural and even decadent, she asked in a low voice: "Brother Luo, do we have anyone in his hands?" ”

"Yunshu!" After Luo Jue spit out these two words, her face was extremely ugly.

"Okay, you Beihe!" Jiang Mei was suddenly furious,

Yun Shu is the number one person in Yiyun Pavilion in Guanzhong, and his status in the Pavilion is second only to Yangzhou's Yunlu, and Beihe controls him in his hands, which is tantamount to disrupting Yiyun Pavilion's transportation network in Guanzhong, and even holds half of Yiyun Pavilion's resources in Guanzhong, which is a huge loss for Yiyun Pavilion.

"It seems that Beihe is taking risks, the Huan army is attacking fiercely, he is in a hurry right now, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent!" Jiang Mei closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress her anger.

"Judging from the speed of Beihe this time, our Yiyun Pavilion in Guanzhong is probably already under his supervision!" Luo Jue sighed softly, but her brows furrowed even deeper, because this was a provocation to him.

Jiang Mei gradually calmed down her anger, walked up to Luo Jue, and looked at him, "What is Brother Luo going to do?" ”

"Yun Ji has already gone to Guanzhong to take over the business of Yiyun Pavilion, as for tonight....I will personally go to meet Yu Yanbo for a while!" Luo Jue raised her head, and a trace of fierceness flashed in her deep eyes.

Jiang Mei nodded, "It's nothing to lose a little, I hope to let Yunshu come back safely, I'll accompany you tonight, I want to see what medicine is sold in the gourd of Beihe!" ”

In the past, whenever there was a dangerous matter, Luojun would not let Jiang Mei interfere, but this time Luoying didn't say anything, and after Jiang Mei finished speaking, he went out to arrange it again.

It was the beginning of the night, Jiang Mei, Luojun and his party dressed up in disguise, then rode to the northeast of Fancheng City in the mountains and forests, at a junction in the mountains and forests, there is a wine shop, although it is called a wine shop, it is actually a post station for business travel, many businessmen from the south to the north will stay here, but now it is the war season, and it is late at night, so it is very quiet here,

In the distance, Jiang Mei saw a few dim candlelight spilling through the window paper, and then the moonlight could see the shadows of two horses in the stable next to her.

A slight sound of horses' hooves seems to be heard. The horses in the stables looked out a few times, then turned their heads away with a few mumbles.

"Two horses? Unlikely! Jiang Mei said in a low voice, she rode with Luoxuan, and at this moment, she was hugged by Luoxuan, who tightened the reins.

"I guess he should have an ambush nearby!"

"No matter, let's go check it out first!" Jiang Mei is ready to dismount,

was stopped by Luo Jue, "Wait a minute, you and Jiuzhu are here." Yue Hua and I went in! ”

Let's talk about it. As soon as Luo Jue got off his horse, he took Yue Hua and a few people from Yiyun Pavilion to the wine shop.

Since he was here to negotiate, Luo Jue was not afraid of any traps set by Beihe, he knew. Beihe must have asked for him. So he just pushed the door lightly. Then walked in.

And soon, Jiang Mei, under the leadership of Jiuzhu, quietly crouched at the window. Listen to the conversation.

"Lord Yu!" Luo Jue just arched her hand slightly towards the man in the black shirt opposite,

Yu Yanbo was much more polite than him, and he bowed to Luoxuan, "Your Excellency is the head of Yiyun Pavilion?" ”

"Exactly!"

Yu Yanbo smiled and arched his hand: "Fortunately!" ”

"My husband sent me to Xiangyang to meet Your Excellency, there is a matter to discuss!"

Luo Jue snorted coldly, then looked at him coldly, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Mr. and Yiyun Pavilion have been cooperating for many years, and almost all of my Dayan expeditions to the east and west have benefited from Yiyun Pavilion over the years," Yu Yanbo said slowly,

"That's right, I don't know how many times I've relied on Yunge to transport military rations for you, but why did Mr. Beihe take revenge!" Luo Jue interjected angrily,

Yu Yanbo smiled bitterly, but shook his head again and again, "It's really helpless to let Yun Shu go to our palace as a guest, and I hope that Your Excellency Haihan!" ”

Luo Jue didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she asked, "What do you want to do, just say it!" ”

"Good!" Yu Yanbo smiled faintly, "Your Excellency is a refreshing person, so you will speak bluntly," he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Luoxuan: "Our husband naturally hopes to continue to cooperate with Yiyun Pavilion, and my husband and His Royal Highness promise that when His Highness's great cause is completed, Yiyun Pavilion's checkpoints in the territory will be unblocked, and all commercial taxes will be exempted!" ”

Yu Yanbo looked at Luo Jue with an expectant look on his face, he believed that if Yiyun Pavilion was really sincere in doing business, then this benefit was really tempting.

Luo Jue raised her eyebrows, glanced at Yu Yanbo with deep eyes, and asked lightly, "Then what does Mr. Beihe want us to do?" ”

"It's easy! refused to cooperate with the Huan army and cut off the food and grass of the Huan army! Yu Yanbo's eyes shot a fine light, cutting the railway,

Jiang Mei, who was standing outside the window, how did she hear it and think it was a joke, when did Mr. Beihe also start to be whimsical. She shook her head, very speechless. She couldn't help but sigh softly, but this breath was detected by the master behind Yu Yanbo,

"Who?" The man immediately shouted, and sent it to the window with a palm of his hand,

Jiuzhu immediately pulled Jiang Mei behind him, and hurriedly avoided to the side,

Their visit to Xiangyang this time was extremely risky and secretive, and it would be troublesome if they were discovered by Huanjun's people, so the man immediately jumped out of the window and exchanged hands with Jiuzhu.

And what everyone didn't pay attention to was that at the other end of the house, several black shadows were hidden there, quietly paying attention to the scene inside, when they heard Yu Yanbo's request, a man in a black suit in front said to the purple-shirted man who was protected in the middle: "Master, it turns out that Beihe paid such attention, and he detained people and threatened Yiyun Pavilion!" What are we going to do? ”

The purple-shirted man narrowed his eyes slightly, "We have been chasing for so long, and we finally caught a big fish, let them fight to the death first, and then let's take them down!" ”

The man in black nodded, then sneaked to the side again, quietly paying attention to the situation over there.

After Jiuzhu handed over hands with the other party, the negotiation between Luo Jue and Yu Yanbo could not continue, because Luo Jue could not agree to their request, so according to the pre-arrangement, he could only arrest Yu Yanbo, and then let people take him to change Yunshu.

So Luo Jue didn't say a word, and while letting Jiuzhu protect Jiang Mei, he led the others to fight with Yu Yanbo's people.

Yu Yanbo, who was standing under the corridor, looked at this scene, and couldn't help but have a headache, he couldn't understand how he thought about it, the people of Yiyun Pavilion were not ready to do business, and chose to do it with them, okay, half of the transshipment business in Guanzhong was already controlled by Mr. Beihe, if Yiyun Pavilion agreed to his request and only made money and did not lose, could it be that Dahuan gave Yiyun Pavilion greater benefits, or did Yiyun Pavilion feel that his principles had been provoked?

In fact, at this time, Yu Yanbo should leave quickly, but he didn't seem to want to stop there, he shouted to Luoxuan, who was having a good time: "Your Excellency has received what benefits Dahuan has received, what Dahuan can give, my Dayan is even more ......."

However, before he could finish this sentence, a sharp arrow flew from Yu Yanbo's right side, and forcibly blocked his words in his throat.

Yu Yanbo was really frightened at this time, he looked around in horror, and soon, with the shooting of the arrow, he found a group of archers coming quickly and surrounding the entire wine shop.

At this moment, even Jiang Mei was dumbfounded, she glanced at Yu Yanbo's frightened look, obviously knowing that this was not Dayan's people, but this was not Yiyun Pavilion's people, so it could only be ......

Jiang Mei smiled bitterly, but at this time, Yu Yanbo shouted with his hand, and suddenly, Jiang Mei heard a horse's hoof sound in the forest, and a black horse galloped towards here.

"Oh no, he's going to run away!" Jiang Mei immediately exited.

Yu Yanbo flew towards the horse, and at this moment, another arrow flew behind him,

However, at the same time, Luo Jue raised his breath and ran with Yu Yanbo, but he just happened to enter the shooting range of that arrow.

"Brother Luo!" Jiang Mei exclaimed,

Luo Jue also seemed to be aware of the whirring sound behind him, he turned around in the air, flew towards the branch on one side, turned around, avoided the arrow feathers, and returned to the ground, and at this moment, Yu Yanbo stepped on the horse and galloped towards the forest.

Obviously, Jiang Mei just said "Brother Luo!" "has exposed her and Luojun's identities.

Soon, the people of Yiyun Pavilion and the assassins of Dayan were surrounded by a group of archers.

At this time, Jiang Mei finally saw a tall and even somewhat familiar figure gradually walking out.

She closed her eyes, a little helpless, she was still thinking about how to let him know about Yiyun Pavilion during the day today, but now she was discovered by him in the presence of the Dayan assassin, Jiang Mei didn't know how to tell him for a while.

Because Yiyun Pavilion did help Dayan transport military rations, when she thought of this, Jiang Mei couldn't help but have a headache.

Just when Jiang Mei touched the cold sweat on her forehead, several of Dayan's assassins had already been subdued,

Jiang Mei ripped off the human skin mask on her face and slowly walked in front of Xiao Moheng, she looked up at him like a child who had done something wrong, but saw that he was looking at herself without waves but seriously, Jiang Mei instantly lowered her head.

Xiao Moheng didn't say anything, he made a look, and Qin Xin took the assassins of Dayan away, and then he turned around and walked towards the way back.

Jiang Mei puffed out her cheeks, glanced back at Luo Jue and the others, and then immediately followed.

When everyone went back, no one spoke along the way, and at night, I didn't know where Qin Xin got the carriage, in short, Xiao Moheng and Jiang Mei sat in the carriage,

It was already late at night, and Jiang Mei was already drowsy at this time, and when she saw that Xiao Moheng didn't mean to speak, she followed the rhythm of the carriage swaying from side to side, her eyelids opened and closed, completely forgetting the scene of the slaughter just now.
