Yu Zexuan understood what Ah Chou meant, military power has always been a place to fight for the throne, and he bowed his head and said: "In terms of military power, the emperor is still very cautious, but it is not ruled out that the four princes suddenly want to break the cauldron and fight against the water." Now that he has been grounded, Concubine Zhao is favored again, and there will be no such plans in the short term. But if he loses frequently in the next encounters, it cannot be ruled out that he will really have plans to get involved in military power. ”

If you can't follow the path of the emperor's favor, then you can only go through the palace change.

"So we have to guard against it," Ugly sighed softly, "especially against the sudden outburst that he has been planning for a long time." I seem to remember that when he was in Huainan, didn't he clean up the former Lin Haoyuan? It can be seen that the four princes are not without ambitions in terms of military power, perhaps the time has not yet come. ”

Yu Zexuan suddenly thought of something: "Yes, Lin Haoyuan's unjust case is still unsolved." Later, Pan Zhiqiong, who he installed, was not very competitive and was controlled by drugs, otherwise the momentum of the four princes in Huainan would be great now. ”

Ah Chou nodded: "So I said that it is better to prevent trouble, Huainan is close to Jianye Capital, and it is also a very important place." ”

"I will report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and discuss it with the next day." Yu Zexuan's tone was cautious.

Princess Long Yu's focus is obviously on other aspects: "You said so much, it seems that you haven't mentioned it yet, what happened to the northern war situation?" ”

Only then did Yu Zexuan react: "Her Royal Highness the princess is interested in the battle situation, I forgot about it for a while." Zhu Xie sent a small force to attack through Yanmen Pass, but fortunately, our army was well defended and did not let them succeed. ”

Princess Long Yu couldn't help frowning: "Take a detour to Yanmen Pass." Did the countries of the Western Regions collude with them? ”

Yanmen Pass is located in the northwest, close to the countries of the Western Regions.

Yu Zexuan shook his head: "At present, I have not found any collusion between them, but the countries of the Western Regions are more than evil." It was ants and elephants, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't do anything about it. ”

"But the possibility of collusion cannot be ruled out," Princess Long Yu fell into deep thought, "King Yu has just returned, and the evil is so restless, is it possible that we really want to send a general to garrison the north all the time." Why don't they dare to come nonsense? ”

Ah Chou interjected: "Garrisoning in the north must be wanted." Actually, I don't know about the situation in the north, but the stalemate has been so long. It shows that we have not yet been able to break through in one fell swoop and never suffer in the future, so there is no other way than to send a general to guard and train the troops for a long time. Or a few generals can be rotated. But that's not something we're going to think about at the moment. ”

Yu Zexuan agreed: "It's really not something we have to consider. The affairs of the four princes have already made us anxious. Plus a mysterious force that controls Xue Yuan's judgment. ”

"By the way, what did you find out about that mysterious force?" Ugly asked Yu Zexuan.

"There's nothing to check, there's nothing, it seems that there is no other way than to wait for him to strike again." Yu Zexuan shook his head.

"Then let's get rid of the Quzhou flood first, this matter makes people anxious when they hear it. We are in the light and they are in the dark. But the more this happens, the less we can afford to rush. Ugly sighed.

Quzhou floods. It came to an end at the end of August.

Prince Mu Tianhong set off from Quzhou to return to Jianye, and at this time, Daqian was prosperous and prosperous.

What made Ah Chou feel gratifying was that the "gentleman" Xia Yichen did not bother her, neither gave a bunch of small gifts like an ordinary man to please the girl's family, nor pestered her all day long. Except for the Blood Alliance Order, it was returned intact.

Ah Chou thought for a while and decided to accept it temporarily, otherwise it would not be a way to push back and forth endlessly. One day he figured it out and decided not to waste any more time on himself, and then he would go back, and then it would be a matter of course. Otherwise, it will be pushed back and forth, and the symptoms will not be cured.

At this time, Xia Yichen was sitting in the courtyard of King Yu's mansion, drinking tea comfortably and leisurely.

"Shizi, those who are not available, all have been disposed of." Big head debriefing.

"Mixed in with the disaster victims and arranged an errand?" Xia Yichen asked lazily.

"Yes, Shizi's trick of fishing in troubled waters is really well used." The big head praised convincingly.

"Then you know, what do I want you people to do?" Xia Yichen's peach blossom eyes glanced over, as if smiling.

The second ghost touched his head and sighed: "The little ones are stupid, we don't understand the deep meaning of the son." ”

Xia Yichen put a big map on the table and pointed out: "I have sent people to investigate these days, not only Jianye, but also many cities have characters like Qin Ye. ”

Since there is a Qin Ye who took advantage of the loophole in the household registration system of Daqian to create a beggar in the Guandi Temple, maybe there will be a second or third Qin Ye who takes advantage of the same loophole.

Or maybe because that was the starting point of Ugly, he was particularly concerned, so he had the heart to investigate.

Even if it can't help her, at least it can give her an answer about her own life experience, and it will also make her feel at ease.

So he sent people to investigate in Chuzhou, Huainan and other places, and really found a similar organization.

Vaguely, he felt that there must be some connection between these organizations.

Obviously, only an overlord like Qin Ye will know the deep-seated secrets, and even a character like the big-headed two ghosts doesn't know the inside story.

This group of people is from a mixed beggar background, and they know this very well, and it would be better if they asked them to investigate this matter.

Xia Yichen gently hooked the corners of his lips.

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, the prince's people received news that early tomorrow morning, the prince Mu Tianhong would arrive in Jianye.

When Aug heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, not because the Quzhou flood could finally come to an end, but because Xia Yixue finally returned safely.

I don't know if anything has happened in such a long time, and if Xia Yixue has figured out anything. However, people's hearts are unpredictable, they have to rely on their own grasp, and whether they want to understand it or not, it is not for her to intervene. As long as you come back safely.

Qian Zhizhang talked about the recent procurement situation, and mentioned Boss Song's matter: "Boss, Boss Song sent someone to invite him several times, but the boss didn't go, and this time he sent someone again." ”

Ah Chou looked at Qian Zhizhang, who had already experienced a little bit of appearance: "It's better to send someone, that means he is not in a hurry at all." However, according to his thoughts, I am afraid that he will not come in person until the day when he is not called. ”

"Why does the boss have to come in person?" Qian Zhizhang was puzzled.

"Zhizhang, sometimes, momentum is very important. He came to invite him personally, so that I could suppress my momentum. Now he is begging me, but not me. I don't understand this reason, even if it's not me, sooner or later someone will beat this second ancestor back to its original form. Ugly shook his head, disapproving.

"Boss, I understand," Qian Zhizhang realized, "If you want to do things, you must be a man first." Only by understanding the sophistication of human feelings can we do good deeds. ”

"That's a good idea, but when you learn to be a person and start doing things, don't be a person again." Ugly continued to extend.

Qian Zhizhang was puzzled: "Isn't this a contradiction? ”

"It's not a contradiction, if I still want to be a man when I am doing business, how can I go against Boss Song and rob him of his bezoar business? How can you do business without offending people? Being an official is also a truth, if you go up, you will naturally occupy someone else's position. Then in order not to offend people, you don't do business and don't become an official? Ah Chou smiled indifferently, "At the beginning, when you learn to be a man, you have to understand under what circumstances, who can be offended, and who can't be offended." ”

Qian Zhizhang arched his hand: "Thank you boss, Zhizhang has been taught!" ”

"It's good for you to reject him, and it's time to get off work, so everyone can pack up and go home." Ah Ugly got up and left.

At night, Ah Chou was reading under the lamp, and when he was drowsy, the sound of hurried footsteps came.

Ah Chou opened his eyes smartly, and saw that Xia Yichen had already stood in front of him, and his voice was urgent: "Yixue is seriously injured!" ”

"What," Ugly came to his senses this time, "where is she?" ”

"Right outside the door." Xia Yichen replied solemnly.

"Then what are you waiting for, bring her in quickly, I'll go prepare the spirits and gauze, and the gold sore medicine." Ugly took a deep breath and hurried to open the door.

was seriously injured, and it was late at night, could it be that he was chased and killed all the way, so he simply rushed back to Jianye overnight to deal with his injuries?

What the hell is going on?

Mu Tianhong, who was covered in blood, ran into the ugly room with Xia Yixue, who was unconscious in black, and the ugly only glanced at it, Xia Yixue's hair was messy and her face was as pale as paper.

She hurriedly took out the ginseng piece for her to hold, and then instructed the two of them to put Xia Yixue on her bed lightly: "You two go out first, and I'll help her check her injuries." ”

Men and women have to avoid suspicion, everyone knows this.

Mu Tianhong and Xia Yichen hurriedly went out and closed the door.

Ugly squatted on the side of the bed, cutting Xia Yixue's clothes with scissors, and couldn't help frowning.

She doesn't know how to look at such a mysterious thing as internal injuries, but just as far as external injuries are concerned, the situation is not optimistic. There were knife wounds, arrow wounds, and excessive blood loss. In ancient times, when there were no blood transfusion instruments, excessive blood loss was very dangerous.

Ah Ugly's deeply furrowed eyebrows tightened a little.

After quickly treating the wound, Ah Chou hurriedly instructed Tian Qiumei to cook some decoction to replenish blood and qi. Blood and gas are connected, and blood must be replenished by qi, and only when they are replenished together can they be effective.

After finishing everything, it was already the third watch.

Ah Chou walked out of the door, didn't care about the blood stains on his body, and said to the two people in the courtyard: "It's inconvenient to talk here, go to the flower hall." ”

In the flower hall, there are only Mu Tianhong, Xia Yichen and A Chou.

"The situation of the county lord is not optimistic. If she's still angry tomorrow morning, it won't be a problem to get through it. If you don't make it up tomorrow morning...... I'm afraid it's ......," Ugly didn't continue. No matter what the situation is, they, as Xia Yixue's closest people, must have the right to know, even if it may be a blow.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn, but everyone kept their heads down and remained silent.

The afterglow of the ugly swept through the white veil on Mu Tianhong's arm—he was also injured. Could it be that it was the assassination of the four princes? (To be continued......)
