Chapter 445: Night Visit

Perhaps stimulated by the lack of impermanence, in the next period of time, King Gong's movements became bigger and bigger, and the atmosphere in Shengjing City became heavier and heavier.

Zhao Qing privately called the forbidden army, which was a great crime, but it was covered up by King Gong with a simple single sentence, but it was a matter of an official raising an outer room, which was mentioned over and over again by King Gong's faction, and debated in the court.

There were even local garrisons in and out of Shengjing City, camping on the outskirts of the city.

Xiang Ye is in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, holds the military talisman, has the right to dispatch the army, and Dayong's troops have more than 50% in his hands, so he is undoubtedly the target of King Gong's attack and frame-in, as soon as the foreign army enters Beijing, King Gong's faction not only ordered him to hand over the military talisman on the grounds that Xiang Ye was not well managed and suspected of having different intentions, but also wanted to suspend him from his post for investigation.

In fact, Xiang Ye did not order the local garrison to enter Beijing at all.

Most people guessed whose hand it was when the local garrison entered Beijing, but no one dared to squeak.

In the past, the Jin faction, which could compete with King Gong's faction, was also suppressed everywhere because King Jin was far away on Hengji Island, and now they have lost their right to speak in the court.

Xiang Ye has many loyal subordinates, but the eloquence of the military generals is not as good as that of civil officials, and they are often choked up without saying anything after only two or three sentences, and those who are impulsive even do it directly, and as soon as they do it, Xiang Ye's situation is even more difficult, and the civil officials directly point out that he is guilty of murder because of his weak heart.

After making trouble like this for nearly a month, Xiang Ye didn't bother to grind with those people, and voluntarily suspended him for investigation, but Bing Fu, then I'm sorry, he doesn't remember where to put it.

Xiang Ye went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. became famous at a young age, and now it has been more than 20 years, and he has won countless battles. He brought out countless soldiers, and his words were more useful than the talismans, and now he refused to hand over the talismans, which was to show his position, and the soldiers who were loyal to him had a bottom in their hearts.

And with Xiang Ye's fame, King Gong couldn't move him easily.

I can't get the talisman, and I can't move Xiang Ye for the time being. It is simply difficult for King Gong to mobilize troops.

King Gong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and could only put Xiang Ye under house arrest in disguise on the grounds that he was not allowed to go out until the case was investigated. Then, while trying to persuade Xiang Ye, he sent people to search for the location of the investigation talisman.

Following the expedition of the father and son of Weiguofu, after the King of Jin went to Hengji Island, Xiang Ye was placed under house arrest. King Gong's rebellious heart was revealed. However, the thin arms could not twist the thighs, and after several officials failed to criticize and died in the hall, the officials in the court could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It's night.

The General's Mansion was silent, except for the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers.

Xiang Ye leaned on the edge of the bed and drank to himself, the moonlight falling on his shoulders like Lian, and the cold and hard air emanating from his body became more and more cold.

A fresh breeze blew. With the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, as well as a faint aroma of rhino horn wood.

Xiang Ye shrugged his nose. The pursed lips curled in an arc.

He took another glass and poured it full, and he sat and waited for the man to come to the door.

But in a moment, a white figure came and landed on the windowsill, just seeing the pure white mask, Xiang Ye's face instantly sank.

He said coldly, "It's you?" ”

Shao Wuchang blinked suspiciously and nodded, what was wrong with him?

"......" Xiang Ye's expression became a little strange, but he still asked Shao Wuchang to sit down and said, "I don't know why the master visited the place late at night?" ”

"A major national event." Shao Wuchang Shi Ran sat down opposite him, and naturally picked it up and was sipped lightly.

Xiang Ye was silent and said modestly: "Please also ask for advice." ”

Shao Wuchang nodded, and said, "I hope you try to delay as much as possible and don't let King Gong get the talisman." ”

"It's nature." Xiang Ye nodded solemnly.

Shao Wuchang knocked on the table, "But with the current situation, even if you die, you will only delay for another month." ”

"So?" Xiang Ye glanced at his white and slender fingers.

"So you've got to figure it out." Less impermanence speaks without pressure.

Xiang Ye was speechless.

After saying this, Shao Wuchang stood up and said, "Please also ask General Xiang to think carefully." ”

"It's nature." Xiang Ye then stood up, paused, and said, "I heard that the master has an unparalleled appearance, and his appearance is overwhelming, I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see it?" ”

Shao Wuchang's body stiffened, and said, "How can the rumors be taken seriously? ”

"How can it be considered a rumor?" Xiang Ye pretended to be surprised, "At King Gong's birthday banquet that day, many ministers of the court and the central government witnessed your true face, how could it be nonsense?" Unfortunately, I wasn't there that day. ”

Less impermanence: "...... You are so curious about my appearance, does He Jin know? ”

Xiang Ye was ashamed: "Everyone has a love for beauty, even if He Jin knows, he will definitely understand me." ”

Go to peat for the understanding and understanding! Shao Wuchang complained in his heart, resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, and said: "General Xiang, don't laugh, it's late at night, and I'm leaving." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Xiang Ye to speak again, and flew away.

Xiang Ye picked up the wine glass he had just used, and a chuckle overflowed from his lips.

Under the moonlight, the white shadow ghostly crossed the walls of the General's Mansion, jumped on the eaves with a light tiptoe, and disappeared into the night in an instant, attracting no one's attention.

The night was as cold as water, An Ruolan was lying on the bed alone and couldn't sleep, King Gong's movements were getting bigger and bigger, and she was very worried about her husband and father-in-law who were far away at the border.

She couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up and leaned against the head of the bed looking at the candlelight in a daze.

In the silence, the window suddenly rang, An Ruolan turned her head to look, only to hear the wind outside the house, and thought that the window was not closed properly and was blown by the wind.

Just as he was about to get up and close the window, the knocking sound of "tuk tuk tuk" sounded again, louder than Fang Cai, obviously being knocked outside.

In the middle of the night, when she suddenly heard such a voice, An Ruolan couldn't help but be startled.

"Who is it?" She asked, put on her coat, took the lamp, and boldly walked to the window.

Bang Chang -

The window was pushed open, and a white figure instantly broke into view.

It's exactly the same scene as it was that year.

“――!” An Ruolan's screams were choked in her throat. Shocked to look out the window at the familiar figure.

Standing outside the window, it was not impermanence, and when he came out of the General's Mansion, he immediately went around to the Weiguo Mansion.

"Uncle Shizu. How did you get here? Come in. Busy cleaning up his expression, An Ruolan took a step back and made a gesture of please.

Shao Wuchang bowed his head slightly and floated into the house, An Ruolan looked left and right, and closed the window.

An Ruolan didn't light the lamp, for fear of being discovered by the spies staring at the Guogong Mansion, so she asked Shao Wuchang to wait outside. wanted to change his clothes and speak again, Shao Wuchang turned his back to her and said, "No need, I'll just leave after I say a few words." ”

"Yes. Uncle Shi. An Ruolan stood with her eyebrows lowered and bowed her head, thinking of the spices that Wei Shao had found for her.

Shao Wuchang said: "He Jin has always said that you want to see me, and you have something very important to tell me." ”

"Yes," An Ruolan nodded. While sneaking in. While moving out the rhetoric he had wanted for a long time, he said: "Uncle Shi is clever, Ruolan doesn't dare to hide it, in fact, Ruolan has often had some very strange dreams since he was a child, some of those dreams have come true, and some have not come true, Ruolan has never understood why, I heard that Uncle Shi knows a little about yin and yang gossip." I want to ask the teacher's uncle for guidance. ”

"Oh? And such things? Shao Wuchang's tone was full of surprise, but the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly. Because he was facing away from An Ruolan, An Ruolan did not notice his abnormality.

An Ruolan nodded without any weakness and said, "Uncle Shi, I recently dreamed about the future, but I don't know if it will come true, and please help me calculate a hexagram." ”

The corners of Shao Wuchang's mouth twitched even more, and he said, "You come and listen." ”

An Ruolan rolled his eyes, and changed what happened before his death in his previous life and told him to listen.

Shao Wuchang almost had the urge to hold his forehead, and he said, "He Jin taught you very well. "It's so good that if you lie, you won't be blushing and out of breath.

An Ruolan suddenly felt like she had been seen through, and coughed lightly uncomfortably.

After a little mover, Shao Impermanence said: "The world is impermanent, the future is not certain, you yourself said that some dreams have not come true, this is the best proof, instead of thinking about the future, it is better to focus on the present, do what you should do and do what you can do, so that even if the future is not satisfactory, there will be no regrets." ”

"What Uncle Shi taught is." An Ruolan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Ruolan has always wanted to say thank you to Uncle Shi, if it wasn't for the secret recipe you gave Ruolan lotus ointment back then, I'm afraid that Sister Jin and Third Brother Meng are no longer alive now." "Saying that she is blessed, "A thousand words are not enough to express Ruolan's gratitude, and Ruolan doesn't know what gift can express her gratitude, so she embroidered a purse with her own hands, hoping that her uncle and ancestor can accept it." ”

"Is it just a purse?" Shao Wuchang smiled, this Xiao Ni was very ghostly, he didn't believe that it was just a purse.

An Ruolan looked embarrassed, she was secretly glad that Shao Wuchang had her back on her, otherwise she would definitely be recognized by him.

Stabilizing her voice, she said: "The craftsmanship is not good, and I hope that my uncle will not dislike it." ”

Shao Wuchang thought that a purse could not do anything, so he said: "Take it." ”

An Ruolan was overjoyed, responded repeatedly, and ran to the inner room to get the purse.

She did prepare a purse, but it was not to give it to Shao Wuchang, but to give it to Zhong Siye, and now she could only use it for emergencies.

took out the purse and the spices Wei Shao found, An Ruolan turned her back to the direction of the door, smeared the fine powdered spices on the purse, and looked at the bedside light, and saw that there was no abnormality, nor could she smell any peculiar smell, so she returned to the outer room as usual.

Wei Shao said that this spice is a secret medicine of the palace, and it is colorless and odorless after being stained with objects, and only one kind of insect can distinguish it, so it is the best choice for tracking people.

An Ruolan secretly prayed that the spice would be useful.

Back in the outer room, An Ruolan respectfully handed the purse to Shao Wuchang.

Shao Wuchang glanced at it, found no abnormality, and accepted it indifferently.

An Ruolan didn't dare to relax, until he sent the person away, and waited for a long time before he clenched his fists excitedly.

Following.

On the moontop treetops, Xiang Ye was drinking wine and waiting for people by the window as always, and after a while, a black shadow quickly swept over the high wall, floated into his room, and landed opposite him.

"Huh, the current general's mansion is really heavily guarded, if it weren't for the light skills passed on by my uncle, I would almost not be able to enter." Zhong Siye, who was dressed in black, pulled off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Ye bent the corners of his lips and said, "It is worthy of the light skills taught by your uncle, and the footwork is exactly the same." ”

"The same light work, of course the same footwork, didn't you take medicine today?" Zhong Siye squinted at him.

Xiang Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm a little dizzy after drinking too much." ”

"You're okay, even if you're under house arrest, you won't be able to get along with yourself like this." Zhong Siye glared at him angrily and took away the wine jug in front of him.

Xiang Ye took the opportunity to stop him by the waist and hugged him, and said with a sense of wine: "Who asked you not to come to accompany me last night, I had to borrow wine alone to drown my sorrows." He took a deep breath, but frowned.

Seeing this, Zhong Siye asked suspiciously, "What?" He also raised his sleeve and sniffed it, but found nothing unusual.

Xiang Ye frowned and said, "It's nothing, maybe I smelled it wrong." Then he changed the subject, "Okay, forget about that, and have two drinks with me." ”

"I'm not here to drink with you, I'm going to leave for the west in a few days, and I'll tell you tonight." Zhong Siye put the wine jug away from him.

"What are you doing over there?" Xiang Ye's face sank, full of disapproval.

"Of course it's selling medicine, what do you think I'm doing with opening such a big medicinal material base? Now that the two countries are at war, it is a good time to make a fortune, and medicinal materials are indispensable consumables for war. Fourth Master Zhong was triumphant.

Xiang Ye naturally didn't believe it, "Just to make money?" ”

Zhong Siye blinked, "My son-in-law is fighting bloodily over there, of course I want to go and see." ”

In fact, it is to pit people.

Selling the medicinal materials purchased at a low price to the enemy country at a high price, and then using the silver to subsidize Dayong's military needs, I feel sour and great when I think about it.

Xiang Ye naturally guessed his intentions, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are more active than me, a general." You already knew that it would become the situation it is today, otherwise why would you build a medicinal material base? ”

Zhong Siye didn't deny it and patted him on the cheek.

Xiang Ye let out a long sigh and tightened his arms.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and Xiang Ye asked in a dumb voice, "Can't you let anyone else do it?" ”

Zhong Siye didn't nod or shake his head, and said: "Presumably you have also guessed, in a short time, King Gong will reduce military supplies, and if it cannot be supplied in time, Dayong will be defeated, and those who will not easily retreat if Wei Guogong and Wei Xing are not fine, they will fight to the end, and the end will be the horse leather shroud." ”

Needless to say, Xiang Ye understood what he meant.

However, knowing that it was one thing, Xiang Ye was still angry at his risky behavior, and said sharply: "What about you, do you think you can get out of the way?" ”

"Or else?" Zhong Siye asked rhetorically, "They lack medicinal materials, and I can give them medicinal materials, why should they have trouble with me?" I'm just a businessman. Dayong's law did not prohibit trade between the two countries during the war. ”

Xiang Ye was speechless.

Zhong Siye hugged him back, pillowed on top of his head, and said: "When these is over, let's live in seclusion, you don't fight, I don't do business, we will go to the mountains and rivers when we are interested, and if we are too lazy to move, we will nest, how to be free." ”

"Hmm." Xiang Ye replied sullenly, he had no reason to stop him, no matter how much he objected, he supported him in his heart, this was for the sake of Dayong, he couldn't stop him.

Before Zhong Siye left, Xiang Ye said: "For your sake, I will tell you a secret, you have been drugged, and it is best not to see anyone during this time." ”

"What?!" Zhong Siye was startled, and his foot slipped and almost fell off the windowsill. (To be continued......)
