Chapter 69: King Ling returns home
Pei Yun went down to the two cities in a row, and the news of breaking off Yuan Kai's wings was also sent to the capital by a fast horse on the fourth day. When Xiao Mocheng received the good news, he was tasting wine and having fun with Mu Xiaohe and Jiang Mei at Zhengle Stage.
"Come, let's have a toast, Yaohe Pei Xiang's big victory!" Xiao Mocheng raised his glass to the two, smiled non-stop, and raised his head to drink.
Mu Xiaohe also sighed again and again: "Pei Xiang's martial arts are unmatched, and the generals are even more exemplary!" ”
"As the saying goes, Jiang is still old and spicy, Pei Xiang doesn't make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, he will go down two cities in a row, damaging several of Yuan Kai's generals, I'm afraid Yuan Kai is still beating his chest in the mansion!" Jiang Mei also agreed, but in fact, her heart was indifferent, such a victory also had the credit of Gao Chi, of course, there was also the help of Yiyun Pavilion.
"Exactly, now Pei Xiang is confronting Yuan Kai near Echeng, and Ling Heng of Jiangxia is also stalemate with Yuan Shu, if Ling Heng can take Jiangxia, then Xiakou will be surrounded on both sides, and Pei Xiang can attack Xiakou in one fell swoop." Xiao Mocheng said that as long as Xiakou is captured and Yuan Kai is defeated, then the other counties will definitely be in the limelight.
A proud person like Yuan Kai will never retreat, and he will definitely compete with Pei Yun in Xiakou.
"Compared with Pei Xiang's surprising victory, I am more surprised by the strategy of Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Gaochi's use of troops, the ancient generals, all of them take 'soldiers who surrender without a fight' as the superior strategy, it can be seen that this Gao General is also a master!" Mu Xiaohe praised with a sincere face.
Jiang Mei smiled in her heart, Gao Chi is a general she has spent many years cultivating hard, this time she showed her talent, and her fame suddenly appeared, Jiang Mei was very pleased with this, "There are talented people in the country, this is the luck of the imperial court!" Jiang Mei said with a smile.
As she spoke, she found Xiao Mocheng pondering on the side, and she didn't have to guess to know what he was thinking.
"What do you say is the origin of this high blazing?" Xiao Mocheng looked at the two of them and asked.
This is indeed an unbelievable question, the lord of a state who has risen in a short period of time is still so amazing and gorgeous, and it has to arouse everyone's scruples.
"He must not be Pei Xiang's person!" Mu Xiaohe first said, "If he is Pei Xiang's person, Pei Xiang will not take away all the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou!" ”
Xiao Mocheng nodded, it is true, but as soon as he thought of Yuzhou, he was angry in his heart, Liyang was actually occupied by the Yang Jingren of the aunt, and after the Yang Jingren got Liyang, he immediately wrote the book, saying that in order to prevent Dayan from going south, he sent troops to stabilize Yuzhou, and the book repeatedly showed his loyalty to Emperor Xiao. Emperor Xiao was helpless when he saw it, and later the imperial court had to accept the fait accompli in order not to cause riots in Yuzhou.
"It's not Pei Xiang's person, and it doesn't mean that he won't surrender to His Royal Highness the Nine!" Jiang Mei said thoughtfully.
When Xiao Mocheng heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her, motioning for her to continue.
Jiang Mei continued: "Judging from Gao Chi's style, he is either not a person, or he is a person of His Majesty!" ”
Xiao Mocheng pondered for a while and suddenly laughed again, Mu Xiaohe thought for a while, and suddenly realized that what Emperor Xiao is best at is to take the opportunity to promote some people with low status or low background to use for his own use.
And the Gao Chi in front of him is really too much in line with his needs. And Emperor Xiao did not accept Yan Shiqian's fate as the assassin of Jiangzhou, that is, he did not want to let a relative dictatorship. And Gao Chi has no background, and his only backer can only be the emperor. After Xiao Mocheng and Mu Xiaohe figured it out, they looked at each other and smiled, since this is the case, it will be easy to do.
Jiang Mei still looked at the chessboard that had been left behind by the two for a long time with a flat face, as if she was thinking, who should be leading?
Mu Xiaohe looked at her serious expression, and wanted to laugh a little, "Miss Jiang, you have such a thorough insight into the situation in the imperial court, it is really unimaginable that you can't play chess." ”
"Xiaomei doesn't understand, is there a relationship between the two?" Jiang Mei is a little inexplicable, is there any inevitable relationship between being able to play chess and understanding the court game?
Xiao Mocheng explained: "Because of your delicate mind, you should be able to play chess. ”
"Oh," Jiang Mei suddenly realized, but in an instant, she looked at Xiao Mocheng and smiled weirdly: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Ninth is not far behind!" ”
Xiao Mocheng choked when he heard this, and glared at her, "Doesn't His Highness know how to play chess?" I just can't get off him! Saying that, he glanced at Mu Xiaohe dissatisfiedly, who told him to always win himself, so that he couldn't hold his head up in front of Jiang Mei.
"Okay, okay, I don't know how Su Taibao taught you, after so many years, you actually won me once!" Mu Xiaohe pretended to be helpless, as if he didn't like to win him.
Xiao Mocheng looked at his under-beaten expression, "Mu Xiaohe, you wait, wait for me to instigate Sister Lanying one day, let her take care of you, and don't allow you to be at ease outside!" ”
Mu Xiaohe was a little embarrassed when he mentioned Lan Ying, knowing that he was angry all his life, so he was speechless, so he glared at him fiercely, Xiao Mocheng turned his head, ignored him, and drank by himself.
When Jiang Mei heard this, she chuckled a few times, and then she drank a glass of wine to hide the strangeness in her eyes.
Then all three of them stopped talking, sat for a while, and then dispersed.
Before leaving, Hua Ying came over to see her off, Jiang Mei looked at Hua Ying, there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes, remembering the events of that night, she sighed secretly and left quietly.
In the evening, an unpretentious but wide and tall carriage stopped at the Lingwang Mansion on the eastern outskirts of Jiankang.
Xiao Moheng, who had been in Jingkou for many days, finally returned to his palace, and at this time, the housekeepers, attendants, and wives and concubines in his palace all went out of the palace to greet him, and even Dongfang Zhan stood aside and looked at him surrounded by his wives and concubines with a smile.
The two side concubines in King Ling's Mansion were all dressed up and standing in front of Xiao Moheng at the moment, and Xie Yuanxiu was still dressed in green clothes, looking at Xiao Moheng demure and dignified, with a look of lovesickness that had not been seen for many days.
The woman on her right is wearing a light blue dress, her phoenix eyes are clear, her face is round, there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and her whole body is not too decorated, simple and elegant. She is Xiao Moheng's newly married side concubine, Shi Qingzao. There was also a pretty woman beside her, who was blinking her big eyes and secretly looking at Xiao Moheng and smiling.
Xiao Moheng looked at her and said helplessly: "You little girl thought of something funny again, laughing so happily!" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that my brother-in-law is back, Sister Xie and my sister are very happy, and they are all smiling sweetly now." Shi Xiaozhuang quipped, completely ignoring the two people whose faces were already red.
Xie Yuanxiu was very embarrassed when he heard this, but he just snuggled up to Xiao Moheng and didn't speak. Shi Qingzao reprimanded angrily for a year: "I spoil you on weekdays, so that you don't understand the rules in front of the prince!" As he spoke, he tapped her on the head. Shi Xiaozhuang pouted, giggling and smiling.
