Chapter 192: Ji Jin intervenes
Since that day, the Marquis of Changrong's mansion has been extraordinarily peaceful.
Liu Yunqing committed such a heinous crime, the old lady originally planned to let her go crazy like this, but there must be an explanation for the matter, in order to know the cause and effect of the matter, the old lady agreed to let Yunshu treat Liu Yunqing for this period of time.
Looking at the woman who looked like a puppet, the fourth aunt seemed to be ten years old overnight.
In fact, Yun Shu had a certain amount of research on these manipulating people's hearts and poison techniques, but in order not to make everyone suspicious, she deliberately delayed for a while, showing a very embarrassed appearance, and then improved Liu Yunqing's situation little by little.
Now as long as others ask her a few words, Liu Yunqing can more or less respond.
On this day and night, the unusually quiet Hou Mansion made people feel a little bored.
Yun Shu changed into men's clothes and walked alone on the lively street.
Passing through the crowd, a burning gaze followed her closely. The handsome man frowned lightly and looked at the woman in front of him.
As soon as the secret guard returned to the palace to report to him that Yun Shu had left the mansion, the prince immediately chased him out.
Since the crown prince chose a concubine, he has never seen Yun Shu again, and he obviously has a lot of things to say to her, but he doesn't know where to start.
Now just looking at it from a distance, he can feel the low emotion on Yun Shu's body.
I heard that something terrible happened in the Changrong Marquis Mansion, and I don't know if she was also affected.
Suddenly, the crowd surged, and in the blink of an eye, he could no longer see the familiar figure. Dongfang Xu nervously rushed into the crowd, but lost his most cherished shadow in the dim light.
In the dark, in a certain alley, Yun Shu leaned quietly against the wall, until the man who followed him closely left, and then slowly walked out of it.
She had felt that gaze since before, and now the two of them were not suitable to meet, and her ears were filled with noise, Yun Shu didn't expect that after two lifetimes, she would have such an uneasy time, and she couldn't help but let out a wry smile in her throat.
A crescent-white figure in front of her blocked her path. Yun Shu raised her eyes and saw that the handsome and elegant man was smiling at her.
Ji Jin was glad that he hadn't missed the rare expression on the woman's face, he walked forward slowly, and said with a hint of a playful voice, "What trouble has the county lord of Yongji encountered?" ”
Troublesome? Yun Shu sighed lightly and did not answer his words.
However, in the crowd, Ji Jin saw the familiar figure from a distance, and for some reason, he reached out to pull Yunshu's wrist, and when he realized what he was doing, he had already led her into a shadow.
Yun Shu was a little surprised, but Ji Jin looked back at her faintly, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "It turns out that the trouble of the county lord is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Ji Jin also had some doubts in his heart, just now he was unwilling to let the prince find her.
At this time, danger suddenly appeared, several figures jumped out of the darkness, Ji Jin was the first to react, without waiting for her to say anything, she immediately pulled Yun Shu and fled quickly, the man in black was in hot pursuit, they seemed to have been eyeing the two of them for a long time, just waiting for the time to come, and soon, they had come to a river that few people visited.
Yun Shu stopped and calmed her breathing, her face did not show any panic, but slightly hooked her thin lips, "It seems that the one who is in trouble the most is the Prime Minister." ”
The black-clothed man at the head sneered, and his tone was thick with sarcasm, "I thought the Prime Minister's garrison was impeccable." ”
Ji Jin's face changed.
The man in black smiled disdainfully, said no more, and with a wave of his hand, several assassins immediately swarmed behind him.
The blade burst out with cold light in the moonlight, Ji Jin instinctively protected Yun Shu behind him, and felt a little unable to cope with it after narrowly avoiding a few knives, but he still insisted on blocking Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was calm, reached out and touched the bag on her waist, ready to fight back with poisonous powder, but Ji Jin blocked in front of her and made her unable to start. In the end, he is a civil official, and he is good at pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and it is really difficult for him to ask the prime minister to resist these assassins with strong martial arts.
Ji Jin pulled Yun Shu to avoid a knife, but another man in black attacked from behind, Yun Shu was about to fight, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived in time to block an extremely dangerous knife for the two, and then started a fierce fight with the man in black.
The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were carefully trained, and after a fight, this group of assassins was gradually defeated, and the black-clothed men led by them saw that the situation in front of them was unfavorable, and immediately ordered a retreat.
"The subordinates are late, and I ask the prime minister to forgive me." Several guards gathered in front of Ji Jin with shameful faces.
Ji Jin raised his hand to signal them to retreat, and it was he who left without permission, so he didn't plan to pursue it.
"Shouldn't the Prime Minister give Yun Shu an explanation?" Yun Shu walked around from behind Ji Jin and looked at him lightly.
"There are still a lot of people looking for trouble these days, but today I almost let them get it." Ji Jin paused, seemed to hesitate about something, and then said slowly, "Before, the emperor found that the number of conscripts in Kancheng was different, according to the regulations of the Chen Kingdom, the number of conscripts in each city should not be less than forty percent of the total number, but when the rosters of the household department and the military department were matched, it was found that the number of soldiers registered in Kancheng was only two percent of the local residents. Conscription is a major matter of the country, and the emperor ordered me to investigate the matter thoroughly, and as a result, those people were provoked. Presumably, there are a lot of stakes involved in this, which is why some people want to trouble me. ”
Yun Shu lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said, "In this matter, Yun Shu may be able to share the worries of the prime minister." ”
……
The moon and stars are scarce, and the Changrong Marquis Mansion is silent.
The tiles on the roof made a slight movement, and Ji Jin jumped onto the masonry floor of the backyard with the help of several guards, this was the first time he had returned to the Changrong Marquis Mansion, and he couldn't help but look around.
The surroundings are quiet and gloomy, and the taste of Changrong Hou is not bad.
There was a sound from a room in the garden, Yun Shu stood quietly at the door and looked at Ji Jin, and the somewhat restrained man immediately moved into the hall with a little unnatural on his face.
Is this considered a night break into the Marquis of Changrong's mansion?
Yun Shu ignored his somewhat embarrassing move, and just spread her hand at Ji Jin, and the two booklets gently fell into her palm.
"These two documents are confidential documents handed over to me by the emperor himself."
Yun Shu just replied softly, and then lowered her eyes and flipped through the two booklets.
"If Marquis Changrong knew that you helped me like this, I don't know what he would think." Ji Jin smiled and teased.
"Since the Prime Minister is so understanding, it is better to bring these two confidential documents back, so as not to cause trouble for Yun Shu." Yun Shu never looked up, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
Ji Jin immediately closed his mouth in amusement, and stood aside to look at her, after all, he had a request, if he talked too much, he would only suffer more.
He had never seen such an indifferent and proud woman, neither humble nor arrogant, not shocked by honor and disgrace.
Yun Shu's focused side face was not stunning, but it carried a calm and indifferent demeanor.
Ji Jin's heart moved slightly. He originally thought that Yun Shu would read the two booklets for a long time, but she just glanced at them roughly and closed them and handed them back into his hands, "The young twenty percent of the soldiers are all in their prime, and they must be the elite main force loyal to the country on the battlefield." ”
Ji Jin raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
"Kancheng is located on the border between the two countries, so the few soldiers are crucial. This is very likely to be Emperor Yi's strategy, as for the whereabouts of the twenty percent of the troops, I don't know, this matter may involve the safety of the national border, and we must do our best to investigate. ”
Whenever it comes to Emperor Yi, Yun Shu has to be vigilant, maybe this is another shocking conspiracy.
Now the Marquis of Changrong's Mansion looks safe on the surface, but Yun Shu knows very well in her heart that things that are beyond her expectation and control are still possible.
Yun Shu thought about it, leaving Beijing may be the best choice for her current self, and the prince can also have a chance to calm down. She wants the prince to understand that she has no intention of having children, and her relationship with the prince is limited to allies who support each other.
Moreover, she also wanted to take advantage of the situation to investigate the specific situation in Kancheng.
Yun Shu raised her head, a flash of light crossed her eyes, and when Ji Jin saw her eyes, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"If the county lord has any request, just ask."
Yun Shu chuckled, the two of them deserved to be companions who had been born and died together, and Ji Jin could see his thoughts at a glance.
"It's a matter of national security, Yun Shu just wants to go to Kancheng with the Prime Minister, to find out, what the Prime Minister has to do is just ask the emperor for his life, and bring Yun Shu when he goes to Kancheng."
Ji Jin didn't agree, but restrained his expression, and then turned around quietly, but Yun Shu knew that he acquiesced to his request.
Ji Jin was a little selfish, for some reason, he just wanted to spend more time with the woman in front of him. And he also knew that Yun Shu was just hiding from someone.
This girl obviously asks for herself, but she just owes her a favor.
The next day, Marquis Changrong came to the bamboo courtyard, and when he saw the woman with a calm and breezy face, a little worry appeared on his face with vicissitudes.
"Shu'er," Marquis Changrong felt a little difficult to speak, "Today, the emperor called his father into the palace, saying that he asked you and the prime minister to go to Kancheng to do business, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Yun Shu straightened her dress in an orderly manner, got up and replied, "Father, this matter is my daughter's idea. Yesterday, when I met the Prime Minister on the street, I knew that the Prime Minister was in trouble. In the epidemic area before, Cheng took care of his daughter, and his daughter went to Kancheng this time, half of which was to do her best for the country, and half of it was also to repay the prime minister's previous care. And Princess Xiyue of Yi Kingdom, now has lived in the palace of Chenguo as a quasi-princess, and there have been many rumors about her daughter and the prince recently, and the three of them have become tigers, and the daughter is afraid of affecting the reputation of the prince, so she feels that leaving Beijing at this time is the best thing to do. ”
Marquis Changrong immediately understood what Yun Shu meant, presumably Yun Shu had already understood the prince's intentions for her, for the sake of the current overall situation, Yun Shu's choice had to be said to be very wise.
Just asked her to go to Kancheng with Cheng, and Marquis Changrong always felt that something was not appropriate.
But since the emperor has already decreed, he can't object to being a courtier. Marquis Changrong sighed lightly and looked at Yun Shu's uninteresting face, "Since that's the case, then you should be more careful in everything." If there is anything dangerous, leave it to the prime minister to do. ”
Yun Shu was silent.
Soon, the crown prince of the East Palace also heard the news. He felt a little incredulous, Yun Shu had just returned from the crisis-ridden Jiangnan, why did he go to Kancheng now?
He turned to look at the guards who were reporting the news, "Is this true?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, it is said that the Prime Minister personally asked the emperor for his life."
"Prime Minister?" The crown prince frowned, "Why does this matter still involve the prime minister?" ”
The crown prince suddenly remembered that his father mentioned something in front of him before, saying that he had handed over a very dangerous task to the prime minister, could it be that Yun Shu was also related to this matter?
