Chapter 266: The Battle Begins
Xia Jin finally chose to return to Yan Feng's side, not because he still had much affection for Yan Feng, but mainly because he was worried about the children over there. She cried and kowtowed to Zhirong three times, and then was sent by Shen Qing to the border of southern Xinjiang.
"Lord, why don't you ask where the stakes are?" Shen Qing felt very sorry when he learned that Zhirong did not let Xia Jin confess.
Zhirong embroidered again and again and sighed: "It's useless to ask, someone so cautious as Yan Feng will never tell Xia Jin everything." Presumably, Xia Jin is just the contact person on the first floor, just responsible for ventilation and reporting, and she probably doesn't know where the dark pile has moved. ”
"But if you miss this time, there will be no time, the soldiers in southern Xinjiang are pressing, and Yan Feng is the commander. If the domestic situation in Jingtang is unstable, the people's will and the army's will be unstable. "Shen Qing is no longer the little girl who was giggling at the beginning, she sees things more long-term and thinks more thoughtfully.
The golden needle passed through the cloud brocade, and Zhirong smiled slightly, but it contained more confidence. "With the strength of the Yan family, Xia Jin is not a real traitor at all. I think when I was in the Shanggong Bureau, the secret guards of the Yan family came and went at will. Although Yu Linwei and your secret guards are now well guarded, it is inevitable that they will be negligent, and the Yan family's spies are afraid that they have infiltrated the palace. Palace maids, eunuchs, and even female officials and concubines are not impossible in the court. ”
Shen Qing frowned worriedly: "What should I do?" The scope is so wide that it is impossible to find out. ”
"Actually, it's not that difficult, only me, Wen Yu and the emperor know about the secret pile. Whoever is closest to us is the most likely to spread the word, presumably Wen Yu has already begun to thoroughly investigate the people around him. can always find people, the emperor's side is now very obvious, and the one who serves the emperor the most on weekdays is the current grandfather Sun. I'm not going to be around except Xia Jin. ”
Zhirong put down the embroidery. Falling into painful contemplation, Chunhua hurriedly helped her rub her temples, and she waved her hand: "Chunhua brought Qing'er." ”
Chunhua was stunned, then nodded and immediately went to take Qing'er.
Qing'er is still as well-behaved and sweet as before, but she can't speak. Zhirong looked at her for a long time and suddenly said coldly: "I have always wondered why Master was found by Jin Zixuan, and I wonder why you didn't know what to do on the night I married into the Yan family. Originally, I thought you were separated. However, there was only one female guard when Duan Ziyan came that night, and when you saw her body the next day, you were so frightened that she fell to the ground on the spot. ”
Speaking of which. Shen Qing also suddenly remembered Qing'er's reaction when the female guard's body was lifted out of the Yan family's mansion. She only thought that Qing'er had never seen blood, and she was too scared to do that.
However, now that she thinks about it, if she was really afraid of blood, she wouldn't run around in the night. And to see so many dead people's bodies and indifferent.
At that time, everyone was busy dealing with the Yan family and pacifying the people, and Zhirong was seriously injured. No one is going to pay attention to a woman who can't speak. Even smart as Jin Zixuan and Wen Yu didn't care.
Qing'er didn't speak, looking at Zhirong with an innocent expression, pitiful and pitiful. However, Zhirong didn't buy it,
"Duan Ziyan is very smart. Know what kind of people are most likely to be overlooked. That's why I asked you to pretend to be a dumb girl and pretend to be an orphan to go to Kaizhou to stay with Master. At that time, you were so clever when you urinated. Finally. Your chess piece has worked, Qing'er, you don't have to play it anymore. I guess the one who died is your own mother! Don't you want revenge now? ”
Zhirong's fierce eyes shot at her, Qing'er's sweet face disappeared in an instant, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and the corners of her mouth hooked a sinister smile, and then two hidden weapons went towards Zhirong and Shen Qing respectively. "Die!"
Shen Qing had already prepared, and all the hidden weapons were blocked by her. And he stepped forward to arrest Qing'er as soon as possible. However, after a few moves, Qing'er was pointed at by Shen Qing, and it was impossible to seek death.
"Lord. What to do with her? ”
Zhirong looked at this woman she once regarded as her lover, and felt helpless. "Whatever you dispose of, presumably your means can ask for something, and Grandpa Sun has also handed it over to you."
"Don't worry, the lord, the subordinates will definitely ask why!" Shen Qing escorted Qing'er and walked out.
After three days and three nights of interrogation, Grandpa Sun finally spat out, and Qing'er also confessed. A large number of people changed in the palace overnight, and those who disappeared seemed to have evaporated from the world.
And the outside of the palace is also very lively, Wen Yu is really very capable, and he really forced the Murong family to be the leader, and the private armies of various families were reorganized into the army in different numbers, and at the same time, he also found out a lot of Yan family secret guards, and officials and families in the court.
For a time, the blood in the capital was like a river, and the southern war report Pingyang Pass asked the imperial court for support, and for a time the people in the capital were panicked, but there was no shortage of hot-blooded men in Jingtang, and everyone understood the truth that no country became homeless, so more and more people went to the conscription office to sign up.
"Zhirong, I have asked the emperor for orders to go to the southern front to fight with the southern Xinjiang army, and I will ask you in the capital." Wen Yu shook his fan as usual, but his handsome face was full of sorrow. "After so many years, I went to the battlefield again to face Yanhua."
"Yan Hua didn't go out in person, and Shen Heng was enough to deal with Yan Feng. The DPRK and China are not stable now, and you can't go yet. Zhirong knows that changing the situation of the court is not something that happens overnight, not to mention that now is the time for the court to employ people, let alone act rashly.
And then there are some ministers, although they used to be princelings or princelings. , however, their allegiance to Jingtang is true. Such officials should be guided and reused, instead of beating everyone to death with a stick, then Jingtang will really have no one to use.
"There are queens and concubines in the harem, I can rest assured, with the support of you and the Wen family in the court, the emperor can rest assured. Only I, the prince with a foreign surname, am superfluous. Since he has enjoyed the dignity of a prince, he naturally has to do something that a prince should do. So, don't fight with me, Grandpa Wen. ”
Zhirong raised her eyebrows and smiled, bright as summer flowers blooming, intoxicating people's hearts and fascinating people's eyes.
Wen Yu seemed to be confused for a moment and then sobered up, Zhirong was right, now only the Wen family can compete with Murong Hongjia, and he can't leave the capital yet, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos those families will have. If Zhirong leads the troops, then he will take away a lot of private troops, reduce the family power and bring a lot of peace to the capital.
However, thinking of such a war actually asking a woman to lead the troops with Zhirong, it is always a bad feeling in my heart.
"You must come back safely!" Wen Yu's deep voice remembered, he didn't laugh, and he didn't have his usual informality. "Remember to be careful, if anything happens, I'm really afraid that the golden fool will find me to settle accounts with the emperor."
