Chapter 392: Cobwebs
For so many years, the two parties have been at peace with each other.
One is because Dunhuang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other is because once there is a bad fight, the current prosperous scene of singing and dancing will disappear in an instant. With the flames of war, it is the common people who suffer. The late Emperor Qinglong was a weak man, and he didn't say that he was asked to send troops to Dunhuang, even if someone had such a thought in front of him, he probably had to change his face and become worried.
At that time, Emperor Su Fang was still the prince of Duan, but half of the affairs in the court were also decided by him. During the long years of Emperor Qinglong's reign, Duan Wangye, who was a younger brother and a courtier, always stepped on Emperor Qinglong's head.
If he had been interested in Dunhuang back then, he would have thought of asking Emperor Qinglong to come down and send troops.
But at that time, no one had such a thought. After Emperor Sufang ascended the throne, he never mentioned Dunhuang.
The ancient road is long, and on windy days, the yellow gravel is sucked up from the ground and melted into the wind. Then the wind swept along the sand dunes like a yellow dragon, roaring across the vast sea of sand. Whether it's a caravan of caravans passing by, or locals who have lived on that land all their lives, no one dares to walk in the desert on a stormy day.
The quicksand that hides cunningly under the dunes is already dangerous, and the whistling hurricanes are a hundred times more terrifying.
How easy is it to send troops from the west to Dunhuang and take control of the prosperous city on the ancient road?
The march alone was already extremely difficult, and the accumulation of grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and weapons was enough to make the hearts of the leading soldiers tremble, and they did not dare to continue to move forward. Therefore, after several attempts to conquer Dunhuang, the Western Yue were all defeated. Finally, I put out my thoughts, and only concentrated on guarding the border pass, and then didn't think more about the oasis outside the pass.
After Emperor Su Fang ascended the throne. The business trips between the two places are still endless, and they are even a little more prosperous than in the past.
Xie Shuning also knows a little bit, and the credit of his uncle Song Yanzhao is indispensable here.
The uncle was in charge of Dunhuang, and the roots of the Song family were rooted in that vast oasis through him. Pierced very deeply, very firmly.
She also thought that if Emperor Su Fang wanted to send troops to conquer Dunhuang, he would actually crusade. It's her only maternal uncle, Song Yanzhao, the city lord of Song!
Dunhuang is rich and prosperous, holding the largest water vein, and it is a place where business travelers must pass through and rest along the road, and Emperor Sufang wants it. Of course, I won't be willing to ruin it. He wanted it. Just the power to control Dunhuang.
In this way, the city lord of Dunhuang has become a thorn in his flesh.
Xie Shuning stood up and said, "Uncle has got clear news?" ”
"Nine out of nine." Shu Yan said in a low voice, "Unless something happens that Xiyue has no time to take care of Dunhuang, otherwise, this matter will be almost a foregone conclusion." ”
Xie Shuning was slightly shocked when she heard what he said. Biting his lip heavily, he sighed and said, "Trouble comes to the door." I can only go head-on......"
Uncle avoided Dunhuang, although there was his selfish greed for the people outside the Guan, and the customs were not as restrained as Xiyue, but in depth, after all, it was to avoid disputes and end up clean. But the trouble has always come to the door by itself.
The gate of the ancient city of Dunhuang is not closed all year round, and it is guarded day and night, allowing business travelers to rest.
This proves that it is not too difficult for someone to try to sneak into the city under the guise of a caravan.
The swordsmen and swordsmen mixed in the business travel, and all kinds of strange people are densely woven like a net, and there are people entering and leaving in groups every day, and the hidden dangers are always there.
But Xie Shuning is not worried about such a method, and her unique uncle will not be afraid. What she was worried about was how many troops Emperor Su Fang would send to go. If he is ruthless, he will only blindly send troops to go regardless of the consequences, and when it comes to a hard encounter, he will really fight, and the West Vietnamese army will crush him, and the city wall of Dunhuang will not be able to stop it.
After thinking about it, she heard Shu Yan say, "First the so-called" Twelfth Floor", and now he is going to send troops to Dunhuang, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take their lives in the next step!" ”
She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were referring to the first few people in the palace.
"Even if you think about it at best, it won't be too late until the day when he will marry the princess at will." Shu Yan's eyes were glowing with a dark blue, and with his words, they gradually turned black, like a deep pool and an ancient well, and like the sky above the desert.
His tone was flat, but Xie Shuning heard the meaning of determination from it.
She gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in her chest, sniffed the aroma of Xifu Begonia, and said, "In this case, my cousin and I will separate ways." I know better than you about the things in the palace, so I'll continue to find out the news. As for how to go back, it depends on my cousin's full preparation. ”
If the war has to start, then this back road will definitely be more difficult and bumpy than they predicted.
After speaking, she looked at the row of brightly blooming flowers in front of her, and her heart suddenly trembled.
――Waka...... Without Emperor Su Fang and the crown prince ascending the throne, will all the things they are worried about and planning now be solved suddenly?
The thought of killing the monarch surged uncontrollably from the depths of her mind.
After living one more time, her courage seemed to have become amazing, and she couldn't help but be moved by such thoughts.
Her hand hanging by her side couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if she was also frightened by the thoughts buried in her heart.
However, knowing that she shouldn't think like this, she thought about it again and again, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt.
Whether it is the "twelfth floor" or sending troops to Dunhuang, all the current qiē are because of Emperor Sufang. Since he is the root, after uprooting him, he will surely be restored to his original state.
Thinking of this, Xie Shuning suddenly regained his composure.
If the matter of killing the monarch can be as easy as she rehearsed in her mind, the speed of the change of the throne will only be like changing clothes.
She shook her head, throwing the thoughts out of her mind.
Shu Yan looked at her expression, vaguely guessing what she was thinking, but he didn't break it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was born by the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, ascended the throne, and it is really difficult to do it. All forces have to be taken into account, and if one is not careful, Hugh said to let the prince sit on the dragon chair, but he is afraid that he will not even be able to find the bones and slag by then.
He frowned.
The two of them carefully said a few words about this matter under the corridor, because the matter was very high, and this matter was not something that the two of them could make a decision, so the two of them only continued to talk about some movements on the Dunhuang side, and then left the corridor separately.
Xie Shuning walked slowly, only to feel that the corridor was endless, and there were many thoughts in his mind.
First Yan Huai had an accident, then lost contact in the palace, and then Wang Ren fell ill slightly, which made Mr. Yun Zhan even more seriously ill......
One thing, like the silk of a spider, seems to be chaotic and unrelated, but it gradually forms a web in which everyone is webbed.
Xie Shuning intuitively felt that the current situation was not quite right, and if she really wanted to say it, she felt speechless, and she didn't know where to start.
She lowered her head and walked forward, Xiao Qi took a step behind, and followed behind without hurrying.
Suddenly, a man appeared silently around the corner in front of him.
Xie Shuning lowered his head and moved forward in contemplation, almost hitting his head.
Stumbling under her feet, she took two steps back before she stood firm again, looked up at the person opposite, and when she saw the face of the person who came, she couldn't help but helplessly: "When did you come?" ”
Yan Huai helped her and said, "Just arrived." ”
Xie Shuning shook his head: "It seems that I can't listen to the master, the number of guards, only a few can see anything." ”
She will still be in the house that she bought for Mr. Yun Zhan, and it is only properly settled here, and Mr. Yun Zhan likes to be clean, so there are many fewer people.
Yan Huai can come in quietly, and naturally there are others who can sneak in unconsciously.
She was worried about the safety of the house, and her brows couldn't help frowning.
When Yan Huai saw it, he turned his face away and asked in a low voice, "You don't really want to see me?" ”
"......" Xie Shuning was stunned.
Xiao Qi had retreated into the corner, blocking his ears and blindfolding.
Xie Shuning coughed twice and started to speak: "Sister Xian'er, have you already seen it?" ”
Things have changed, and there is naturally no need to hide what should have been hidden from Yan Xian.
Yan Huai's eyes darkened, and when he looked at her, his eyes flashed slightly, and he finally sighed and said, "I've seen it, and I asked her to scold her head and cover her face." ”
After listening to the wrong things her mother had done, Yan Xian was only stunned for a moment and was silent for a while. Then, she grabbed his sleeve and didn't let go, and scolded him for half a breath without stopping, before she let go. When she grew up to this day, Hugh said that she swore people, but she rarely said even a bad word. In addition, she is not in good health, she is short of breath, and she rarely says such a long paragraph in one breath.
It can be seen that this time, she is angry.
Xie Shuning remembered that when she first found him, she was so angry that she took off her bracelet and smashed it, and she really understood how annoyed Sister Xian should be.
Obviously, there are many other ways, but he prefers to take such a decisive path, and his temperament is like a stone in a pit, hard and smelly.
Xie Shuning thought of herself, why not be the same.
"You deserve to be beaten!" As she spoke, her eyes involuntarily looked at the corner of his forehead. In just a few days, the wound was so good that it was almost impossible to see any traces, but it was extremely neat.
She looked at it twice, and Yan Huai couldn't help but notice that there was a faint joy in her heart immediately.
Earlier, he inadvertently saw her say something to Yun Guihe that he couldn't understand, and he was itching and sullen for a while, and when he saw her eyes, he suddenly lost all his thoughts, only joy.
My heart was pounding.
He suddenly said, "Aman, I'm going next door." ”
Xie Shuning was puzzled: "Go next door?" ”
Next door is naturally her house, but now the person who knows that he is good and alive is when he is running around.
Yan Huai said solemnly: "Propose." ”
Xie Shuning was taken aback, this matter has not been put on the agenda yet!
"When my mother sees you, I'm afraid that I will mistake it for a ghost in the blue sky and day......light," she pondered. (To be continued......)
