Chapter 327: Merlin's Assassination
Because Jin Xiaohan has his own sources, Xuanyuan Yi also knows about this kind of thing, but he won't have any thoughts because of this. Xuanyuan Yi clearly knew that the person he could rely on and trust the most was this courtier and friend. And now with the relationship between Rao Xuekong's side, Rao Xuekong's own ability, not only he and Xuanyuan Zheng knew at the beginning, but Hua Yuanjin was not a fool. There is also her relationship with Hua Chao, if his relationship with Jin Xiaohan breaks down, the couple will definitely go to Hua Chao, and in the same way, Hua Chao's relationship with Dayu will naturally change under the influence of the two of them.
So, Xuanyuan Yi is not so stupid.
Of course, this is politically speaking, emotionally, he still knows Jin Xiaohan as a friend, and he will not change so easily.
And for Rao Xuekong
Xuanyuan Yi thought of Rao Xuekong, and his expression softened. Of course, Jin Xiaohan didn't notice this.
He organized the information he got in his mind first, and then said: "Li Shentian and Empress Ling must have rushed back to Xigui in the stars and moons, my people found their traces on the way to the border, but they failed to make any moves, the other party was too cunning, and hid their traces." I guess that as soon as they enter the border pass of Xigui, they will have at least one person left behind at the border pass to command the army to attack the Hua Dynasty. On the Dongtu side, Mao Qiu should also stay at the border pass, so their next move will be very fast, at least Xigui's side does not need to wait for the imperial decree to delay back and forth. ”
Xuanyuan Yi's face also became a little solemn: "Let's not talk about the east map, let's talk about the west is expensive." A secret report from my side. Xigui also had a major incident in the palace some time ago, the former Xigui emperor was poisoned and died, Li Shentian slaughtered a lot of women and ministers in the palace under the guise of finding the murderer of the king, and this matter also implicated many high-ranking official families, and Xigui had a month of blood. ”
"Li Shentian is a usurper for killing his father."
"Everyone knows this, but this Xigui courtier has no opinion now, and it is naturally impossible for us to worry about other people's family affairs. But that Queen Ling has some origins. ”
"Oh? What is the origin? ”
"Have you ever heard of the Sino-Russian Islands?" Xuanyuan Yi threw out a question that made Jin Xiaohan's eyes widen in shock.
"The Russian-Warian archipelago? You mean, that place is mostly heterogeneous demons? ”
I heard that it was outside Shikoku. Beyond the vast sea. There are several mysterious islands inhabited by people who are very different from them, and there have been people who have been half-dead because of a wreck of a fishing boat. It is said that the people there are not black-eyed. The skin tones are all different. The words he said were also incomprehensible. After these rumors came out, the person on the Sino-Russian archipelago was called the Alien Pupil Demon by Shikoku.
Xuanyuan Yi nodded and said, "I heard, that Queen Ling." It is from the Sino-Russian archipelago. ”
"However, I have seen Queen Ling, and she is no different from us."
"Perhaps, she is from our side and accidentally arrived over there?"
"Speaking of which, there is still a little bit of difference, that is, the facial features are deeper, and the accent is a little different."
"Well, in short, this news should be not wrong, it is the fishermen over there who said that the Xigui royal family once went to the beach to pick up people, and the boat that came to us was different from what we had seen, and the speed was extremely fast. They did not see the people on board, but they heard the boatman say a few words in a loud voice, which they did not understand. ”
"What do those demons want to do in the Huarussian Islands?" Jin Xiaohan frowned. Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
"Don't care about this for now, you take it to heart, be wary, on the side of the sailors, I have already selected someone to take care of it, and I just allocated a million taels of silver yesterday to build a warship. Moving on to Xigui. Xuanyuan Yi walked to the front of the map of the rivers and mountains they had drawn before, pointed to a line at the Dayu border pass, and said: "This is a place where we border with Dongtu, on our side, it is just a group of mountains without people, and on the other side of Dongtu, it is also a mountain, our troops in that place have always been not much, it is better to come more on the barbarian side in the south, as far as your opinion, do you need to adjust the strength of these two sides?" ”
Those barbarians in the south have actually been included in the territory of Dayu, and they can be regarded as the people of Dayu, but they have always disobeyed the discipline of the imperial court, and sometimes they will come out to harass other Dayu people, which has always caused the imperial court a headache. Originally, the emperor named Jin Xiaohan as the general of Zhengnan, and he was actually ready to pacify the barbarians, but after Xuanyuan Yi became the emperor, he put this matter aside. It doesn't seem to be the turn of the other side to be the most important thing right now.
Jin Xiaohan said: "Now that the barbarians are also in civil strife, there is no need to send additional troops for the time being, but we can't take it lightly, at least we should always send spies to find out the news over there." On the other hand, on the other side of the border with Dongtu, I think we should send more troops, and we should also build defensive fortifications, build walls, and connect them with the east and west. "Because it was a high mountain, the border walls on the east and west sides stopped at the same time when they were built there, and now it is as if there was a gap in that place.
"Well, that's what I thought too."
"What I can't figure out now is, why did Li Shentian and Empress Ling go to Huachao in person this time? There is also General Mao Qiu from Dongtu, this trip seems unnecessary. If their purpose is to fight for the six cities, then at least they should wait there until we make an official statement, so why leave quietly? ”
Xuanyuan Yi also wondered after listening to it.
"They must have a purpose when they go to the Flower Dynasty, and it is not as simple as asking for six cities. And, didn't you say that? Isn't it strange that the people sent by both countries are all masters of martial arts? ”
Jin Xiaohan nodded, a little depressed and said, "It's a pity that it's not in our Dayu, otherwise they wouldn't have known where they went during that time in the city, and they didn't know what to do." ”
"Not to mention that time, we can't even know when they arrived at our doorstep."
"Hua Yuanjin is working hard, but there are still many things that can't be changed for a while and a half, and I can't take care of them. Give him two more years and he'll make a lot of progress. ”
"Are you trying to say, especially now that Yukiku is over there to help?"
Sooner or later, the topic would lead to Rao Xuekong, and both of them knew this. Strictly speaking, although Rao Xuekong is the county lord of the Hua Dynasty, he has already married the wife of General Da Yu, and he wants to stay in the Hua Dynasty, and he is also the general of the other party, this kind of thing must at least be agreed by Xuanyuan Yi. But they didn't.
Rao Xuekong also asked this question at the beginning, but in ancient times, the communication conditions were poor, and there was no time to wait for the message to come and go, so he could only cut it first and then play it.
Jin Xiaohan's eyes softened a little and said, "She should be very hard during this time." ”
"Your Majesty, a letter from the Flower Dynasty." A dark guard jumped out and handed over a letter.
Jin Xiaohan looked at the appearance of the envelope, and raised his eyebrows: "How could her letter be written to you?" That is clearly the envelope that Rao Xuekong likes.
Xuanyuan Yi opened the letter and read it, laughed, and handed it to Jin Xiaohan.
There was only one sentence on the letter: "Xiao Han will definitely rush desperately, if he arrives, please ask the emperor to order, let him sleep well first." ”
A small town in Dayu. Recently, the plum blossoms here have bloomed exceptionally well, and they are well-known far and wide. It's called Merlin Town.
There is a plum blossom banquet in Meilin Town, which is full of 36 dishes, all of which are cooked by plum blossoms, accompanied by plum blossom wine, which attracts many literati and guests.
At this time, in the middle of a plum forest, there are merchants who skillfully integrate their seats into the scenery, and take the plum blossom banquet as the theme, and attract a lot of money. Because a seat here can cost a hundred taels of gold.
On a seat far away from the other seat and occupying a good view, on a chair covered with a thick mink blanket sat a young man reclining on the back of the chair, the man was dressed in a light green robe, very good-looking, slender fingers held a white jade cup, under the background of the white cup, the liquid in the cup was faintly pink, clear and transparent.
"This plum blossom wine is really good wine. It can almost be compared to Han's drunken moon. ”
This man is the Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Zheng who has been playing and walking at will.
At this moment, a girl holding a piano came out from behind the plum tree not far away, the girl's face was covered with a white veil, her long hair was loosely tied up with a pink ribbon, she was wearing a fluttering pink dress, and her posture was gentle and delicate, and she walked towards him gracefully.
"Childe is here alone, isn't it too lonely?" A soft voice came from under the veil.
Xuanyuan Zheng glanced at her and smiled slightly: "Doesn't the girl know that this location, the attraction is quiet?" ”
The woman laughed and continued to approach him: "If you want to be quiet, you usually can't find someone to accompany you, Childe, maybe the slave family can accompany Childe?" ”
"Oh? How do you know you can please me? ”
"Son, why don't you listen to the slave family song first, how about it?"
Xuanyuan said: "Can this son refuse?" ”
"Childe is not such a ruthless person." The woman ignored his refusal at all, continued to walk towards him, reached the table, leaned over slightly, and was about to put the piano in her arms on the table. At this moment, her right hand swept over the strings, the movement was as fast as lightning, the strings turned out to be loose, and with her movements, the two strings stretched out, shooting straight at Xuanyuan Zheng, intending to wrap around his neck.
Xuanyuan Zheng's eyes were cold, and he quickly fell back, and at the same time, the wine glass in his hand was thrown into the woman's face.
Taking advantage of the moment when the woman avoided it, he stood up and floated back, widening the distance between the two of them a little.
"Who sent you?" Xuanyuan Zheng asked coldly.
The woman smiled softly: "Do you still need to ask this?" With your existence, the emperor is not at ease sitting in that position! ”
Xuanyuan Zheng laughed and said: "This reason is too inferior, what, do you want to blame my imperial brother?" "Or do you want to stir up feelings between their brothers?" It's a pity that your accent doesn't look like Dayu's, let's say, is it a Dongtu person, or a Xigui person? ”
"I didn't expect the six princes to be as careful as their hair, but unfortunately, it didn't have much effect." As she spoke, the woman drew closer to him. (To be continued......)
