Ren Yao looked forward to the window and muttered.

The air was still very humid after the rain, and out of nowhere, a swallow flew out of nowhere, swept low in the courtyard, and suddenly fell to the ground again, making a few small calls.

Li Tianyou swayed out of throttle, walked to the place where the swallow fell with his back and squatted, and then poked the poor little bird that kept jumping but couldn't fly with the fingers of his right hand, while looking around for something with his head up, and when he saw under the eaves, he grabbed the swallow in his hand.

"Dongsheng, is there a ladder in this yard! A stupid bird fell out of its nest. Li Tianyou's happy voice sounded in the courtyard.

Dong Sheng confessed to Ren Yaoqi, and hurriedly ran out of the house to walk to Li Tianyou's side and whispered back.

Li Tianyou handed the little guy who was constantly fluttering in his hand to Dong Sheng, waved his hand and said, "Then you can put it back." ”

Dongsheng lowered his head and took it carefully, and ran back again.

Ren Yaoqi saw Li Tianyou standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, constantly commanding, his eyebrows fluttering.

After a while, Dongsheng came back, still holding a coarse cloth handkerchief that had just wiped his hands.

Under the eaves outside, the voices of Ren Yaohua and Li Tianyou arguing for something sounded again, and it was very lively.

"Who is it that intercepted the secret letter of the imperial court?" Ren Yaochi asked softly.

Baiyun Temple is located in the middle of Baihe Town and Yunyang City, just near the official road that must pass through the north and south.

Dong Shengfu stood next to Ren Yaoqi's hand again, bowed his head and said softly: "I haven't seen the process of fighting, so it's not easy to make judgments." However, the letter was about the imperial court to order a reduction in the salaries of the Yanbei army. ”

Ren Yaoqi was shocked when he heard this.

Related to Yanbei Palace?

Although the Yanbei Army was nominally the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in fact they were the direct army of the King of Yanbei, which could also be said to be the "Xiao Family Army".

Ren Yaoqi once heard Mr. Pei mention that most of Yanbei's taxes had to be handed over to the imperial court, but the imperial court only paid a very small part of the military salary of the Yanbei Army every year, and in fact, most of the military salary was borne by the Yanbei royal palace itself.

She remembered that there had been an army mutiny in Yanbei in the previous life, when some soldiers in the lower echelons of the Yanbei army were dissatisfied with the imperial court's reduction in military salaries, so they went to the city in groups to rob the rich shops. Caused a riot.

Later, some people played impeachment and said that the number of Yanbei troops was too large, and there were many small monks in the temple, which was the root cause of the turmoil, and demanded that the Yanbei army reduce the army.

Soon after, a border dispute broke out in Ningxia caused by a small-scale Dangxiang clan to grab a horse farm with rich pasture resources, and the Yanbei royal palace was invited by Wu Xiaohe, the chief soldier of Ningxia, to send the Yanbei army into Ningxia to help Wu Xiao and pacify the rebellion. In the following years, that part of the Yanbei Army was stationed in Ningxia. The imperial court's plan to reduce the Yanbei army was also over.

However, Wu Xiaohe, the general soldier of Ningxia at that time, was the son-in-law of the old King of Yanbei and the brother-in-law of Xiao Yan, the current King of Yanbei.

Therefore, many people think that the entry of the Yanbei army into Ningxia is actually a strategy of the king of Yanbei to divert the attention of the imperial court in order to protect the Yanbei army.

It's a pity that three years later, Wu Xiaohe, the chief soldier of Ningxia, died, and the imperial court sent Zeng Tong. gave Yanbei Wangfu a trick to draw salary.

At that time, Zeng Tong was still unknown, and Yanbei also thought that he only got this position by virtue of the nepotism between his own Xichang Marquis Mansion and the Empress Dowager's mother's Yan family, and only focused on Lu Dexin, the supervisor who took office with Zeng Tong.

However, the performance of Zeng Tong in the last year greatly surprised everyone. Most of Wu Xiaohe's army was absorbed by him, and he caught Yanbei Wangfu by surprise.

And the rise of Zeng Tong was the beginning of the disaster for the Ren family.

Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes slightly when he thought of this.

Ever since she woke up, she had been thinking about how to change the outcome of her previous life.

But the temple was too far away from her.

If it follows the original track, Zeng Tong will still be sent to Yanbei as a pawn in the confrontation between the imperial court and the Yanbei Palace, and with Zeng Tong's ability, the Ren family will still want to slap him.

She always has nightmares when she thinks about it.

In this life, even if she doesn't want to avenge the previous life. But what if the enemy still comes to the door? She is a boudoir woman, and all she can do is block the car with her mantis arm.

How it ended, it's hard to say.

In the previous life, the court planned to reduce the specific time of the Yanbei army, and she couldn't remember it clearly. It's about the same as these two years. The secret letter that Dongsheng said is likely to be a precursor to this matter.

How can we prevent Zeng Tong from succeeding as the chief soldier of Ningxia, or how can we make Zeng Tong only have a name for himself even if he becomes the chief soldier of Ningxia?

Ren Yaoqi's heart was pounding.

"Miss Cousin?" Dongsheng saw that Ren Yaoqi's face was not good. Whispered.

Ren Yaochi took a deep breath and calmed her heartbeat, she reminded herself not to rush and take her time. She didn't believe that she was reliving her life just to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, and there would always be a way.

"Miss Biao, the person who intercepted the secret report of the imperial court is likely to be sent by the Yanbei Palace. It was mentioned in the secret report that when the person who received the letter ordered the reduction of military salaries by the imperial court, he instigated the low-level soldiers of the Yanbei Army to make trouble. I heard that the second son of Yanbei Wangfu is recuperating in a village near here, do you think he will send someone to ......" Dongsheng whispered.

Ren Yaoqi raised his head and frowned when he heard this: "Are you talking about Xiao Jingxi, the second son of Yanbei Palace?" Is he near the White Dragon Temple? ”

Dongsheng nodded.

Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered the man he had met in front of the Dragon King Hall of the White Dragon Temple before. She and Parsley mistook him for the nun the women were looking for.

But after that, Ren Yaoqi was a little suspicious of his identity, judging from his demeanor and bearing, he didn't look like a person who would be the head of a person. Especially when he gave her the string of gold, stone and wood beads, she became more and more hesitant in her heart.

She had seen good things, too, and the string of beads was definitely a rare treasure, but he gave it to her casually, just to repay her for a small favor.

Later, Li Tianyou appeared, and Li Tianyou admitted that he was the friend of the nun who was chased, so who was that man?

Why would he want to avoid those women?

He was also dressed in white, was he once mistaken for Li Tianyou by those who chased Dongsheng? And what was he doing near the White Dragon Temple at that time? And broke your own sleeve?

Thinking of the appearance of the legendary second prince of Yanbei Wangfu, Ren Yaochi couldn't help but suspect that he was Xiao Jingxi. But he was the one who sent someone to intercept the messenger of the imperial court?

Thinking like this, for some reason, Ren Yaochi still shook his head with his intuition: "I heard that the second son of Yanbei Wangfu is very smart and amazing. Even if he wanted to stop the secret report of the imperial court, he would not use such extreme means. For such a major matter, the messenger sent by the imperial court to Yanbei to deliver the letter should be more than this. What can Xiao Jingxi do even if he stops this messenger? The letter will eventually be delivered to the person who should be delivered, but the Yanbei Wangfu is a surprise. ”

What Ren Yaochi could think of, she didn't believe that Xiao Jingxi, who had been praised by Mr. Pei, would not think of it.

Dongsheng thought about it, but he didn't have an idea: "Who could it be?" ”

"I said that it was not the second son of Xiao, and I didn't say that it was not from Yanbei Wangfu." Ren Yaoqi is not very sure of the authenticity, all this is just her speculation.

There was so little information that she couldn't tell. What's more, if the person she met was Xiao Jingxi, the timing of his appearance would be too coincidental.

******

Here, Ren Yaoqi and Dong Sheng were guessing the identity of the person who intercepted and killed the imperial court messenger and cleaned up the corpse at the end of the day.

Someone over there is also tracking down the whereabouts of this secret letter.

The young man who had changed into a blue wide-sleeved robe also stood by the window, listening to the report of the man in black who knelt on one knee, his dark eyes quietly watched the continuous rain outside the window gradually become smaller and thinner, and his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a fog that people couldn't see clearly.

There were also raindrops dripping intermittently between the cracks of the roof tiles, and they fell into a pair of old granite three-sided open lotus-patterned fish tanks placed under the eaves, and the water in the fish tanks overflowed.

The young man's low and hoarse voice sounded soothing in the room, and the voice was obviously not loud, but it drowned out the sound of water droplets outside: "Send the body to Xiao Jingyue and ask him what to do with it, I just came to the White Dragon Temple to recuperate." ”

The kneeling subordinate was stunned, carefully glanced up at the master, and asked tentatively: "What if the third prince denies that he sent someone by then?" ”

Hearing this, the young man tilted his head, glanced at his subordinates with a smile, and said with some surprise: "Can he deny it?" ”

The subordinate immediately bowed his head: "The subordinate understands." It's just that the letter that the third prince wants to intercept is still in the hands of others, should his subordinates send someone to ......?"

The young man withdrew his gaze from the window, seemed to think about it, and asked lightly, "Are you sure that person is from the Li family?" ”

"The subordinates confirmed that that person was the entourage of Li Tianyou, the son of the former Xianwang Wang, and there was a woman with him at that time, who was the young lady of the Ren family in Baihe Town."

"Ren?" The young man's tone was still soothing and calm, but there was a little wistful look between his eyebrows, but for a moment, he nodded with a light smile and said, "Zhilu Dao, you can go." ”

The black-clothed subordinate was stunned, the master doesn't want to care?

But with the third son's personality and methods, I am afraid that many people will be implicated and their lives will not be guaranteed, even the prince of the Li family will ......

There was a repetition at the end of the previous chapter before the text, and it should be gone if you refresh it again.

When I first wrote it too quickly, I was not very satisfied with some details, so I revised it again.

It doesn't affect the big plot, it's just to make the writing smoother.

However, in order to avoid some relatives still feeling uncomfortable, this 67 chapters should be charged as 2000 words'(*n_n*)′.

ps: Today there are children at home who have to be sent back to school after the end of the holiday, so I came back late, I'm sorry.
