Chapter 9: Something Happened
"I'm the daughter of King Pingdong, my name is Jing Yao!" Hearing the identity of the person who came, a flattering smile appeared on Jing Yao's face, "I don't know the identity of the county lord, I don't know the identity of the county lord, I don't know if I don't know, there are a lot of county lords, don't see me like you, right?"
"It turned out to be Jing Yao!" "Lord Leyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I know you, when you were young, I hugged you!"
"Is it?" Jing Yao was overjoyed, took the hand of the county lord of Leyi, and said coquettishly, "I often hear my father mention the heroic deeds of the county lord, which is really admirable! I have admired the county lord since I was a child, and I am really fortunate to be able to meet the county lord today!"
The smile on Le Yi's face slowly disappeared, and he said lightly: "When you were young, you were very well-behaved and cute, but I never thought that more than ten years have passed, and you will live more and more! ”
Jing Yao's face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "County Lord, what do you mean by this?"
Le Yi pointed to Shang Xiaoxiao's women and said: "They are the people of Nanchu, our sisters, we were born in the royal family, and we were born to save more wealth and status than ordinary people, but at the same time, we should also bear some due responsibilities! They are stuck in the quagmire, we should help them, so that they can get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, instead of relying on their identity to stomp on them fiercely, and criticize them morally from above!" They can't choose their origins, and the only thing we are better at than them is to have a good background!"
After a pause, Le Yi said: "Today we meet them, tomorrow we may meet more people who are suffering, do you also have to use such an attitude to despise and trample on them? Poverty is not necessarily because of laziness, and going astray is not necessarily a bad heart, if you criticize them before understanding their lives, you will never be able to be in a fair position to face your people!"
Jing Yao swallowed nervously, only to feel that the aura of this Leyi County Lord was stronger than that of the prince, and her eyes were colder than the prince, she lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake: "It's Jing Yao's short-sightedness, Jing Yao knows that she is wrong, Jing Yao will never dare in the future!"
"Well, it's good to know your mistakes, it's not enough to be in a high position just to kill decisively, you have to have a compassionate heart, which the son of the world has done well. Le Yi saw that her attitude of admitting her mistake was not bad, "You go down, reflect on it, I still have some things to discuss with the prince." ”
"Yes. Jing Yao was a little afraid of Le Yi, obediently hurriedly retreated, just out of the tent, only to see a few women in black standing outside, these women are all black, wearing black cloaks, tall, no expression on their faces, at first glance it is the person of the county lord of Leyi, she can't help but be more curious about this county lord, what does this woman want to do?
It wasn't until she got away from those black-clothed women that Jing Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she had always been a high-ranking county lord, few people dared to disobey her orders, only when did she feel completely suppressed, she felt a little envious of the county lord in her heart, when would she be able to have such an aura?
Not far away, the matchmaker looked at everything in the main account, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said to Qi Muxuan beside her: "How much do you know about this Leyi County Lord?"
Qi Muxuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "She is not an ordinary woman, she is a very ambitious and methodical woman." ”
"It seems that more and more people are entering the game, things are getting more and more complicated, and they are getting more and more interesting!"
"The object we want to do is Nan Chu, of course our odds are on the person who is most likely to become the king of Nan Chu!" Qi Muxuan said coldly, "But after planning so much, for so long, if you give up Mi Zi now, you will really be a little reluctant!"
"I'll make a bet with you, he will be the one who wins in the end!" said the matchmaker smiled.
In the main ledger.
Qi Zi asked Hao Ding to send Shang Xiaoxiao's women down for placement, and the tent suddenly fell silent.
"Auntie, please take a seat. Qi Zi said, "Auntie, I received news a few days ago that my aunt is still in the south, and everything in the south has been resolved?"
"Solved. Le Yi said, "On the way here, I heard that you have recovered General Lin Qian's 50,000 horses without blood, I will be proud of you, and now you are one step away from the final victory." ”
After a pause, she continued: "But you still can't take it lightly, the position of the capital city of Nanchu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it will take a few days to completely attack it." And what are you lacking most right now?"
"I can't hide it from my aunt, I am most short of food and salary now!" Qi Zi said, "The reason why I have been resting is to wait for King Pingdong to join us, and second, I sent Zhai Bian and Mi Gu out to collect grain two months earlier, but the effect is not very good." In recent years, the people have lived too hard, and there is no surplus food at all, and if it is forcibly requisitioned, I am afraid that it will backfire. ”
"This is the purpose of my visit, and I have brought you food. Le Yi said, "I went to the south this time, there are many wealthy families in the south, and I went to negotiate with them this time, they are willing to subsidize the grain, but we want us not to collect their business taxes in the future." ”
Qi Zi frowned slightly: "The commercial taxes in the south have always been the bulk of the national treasury, and if they are not levied, they can only collect heavier taxes from the people in the north." ”
"There's no way around it right now. Le Yi said, "Let's get through this crisis first, it's the most urgent time, we can't let the matter of food and salary affect the morale of the army, and we can't let King Yu Nan have a chance to breathe!"
Qi Zi lowered his eyes and thought, he gritted his teeth: "Right now, it's all about that." ”
At night, inside the tent.
Mo Ziyu was grinding medicine, Lu Qiao came back, and said with a gossip on her face: "Those women who came today, girls, guess what? The prince didn't leave any of them, but sent them to the Huotou camp and let them cook. ”
"It is said that the fierce woman wanted to drive people away, and she had a quarrel with the prince!" "The woman in black is said to be a person brought by the lord of Leyi, girl, do you know this person?"
The Mo family has been dealing with Western Wei and Southern Chu all the year round, how could they not know about Le Yi.
"I know, Shizi's aunt, a very admirable woman. Mo Ziyu nodded and said.
"I see, it is said that today the lord of Leyi County taught that fierce woman a lesson. Lu Qiao said.
"Don't ask about other people's affairs, have you packed up your things?" Mo Ziyu asked, "We're leaving tomorrow." ”
"Oh, I almost forgot, girl, don't worry, I'll clean it up. Midori smiled and began to pack her things.
Mo Ziyu stopped what he was doing, walked outside, looked at the moonlight outside, and only felt that today's moon was particularly round, and only then did he remember that today was fifteen.
Qin Yi sat in the open space outside the camp tent and looked at the moon silently.
Mo Ziyu walked over, sat down beside him, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Nothing. ”
"Thinking about your loved ones?"
"I don't know if I have any relatives, and even if I do, I don't know who I should miss. Qin Yi said lightly.
"Whoever it is, at this moment, you are all under the same moonlight. Mo Ziyu patted Qin Yi on the shoulder, "One day, you will get back what you lost." ”
At this moment, only a black shadow was seen flying by.
"Don't move, I'll take a look. After Qin Yi finished speaking, he immediately flew away.
How could there be a dark shadow in the barracks? Who the hell is it?
Mo Ziyu knew that he was different in martial arts, and if he chased after him at this moment, he was afraid that it would be a burden, so he told Rong Qian the news first, and asked Rong Qian to follow first and give Xiaoyi a hand.
How do you know that Rong Qian is not in the camp tent at the moment, Mo Ziyu stomped his feet anxiously, and could only go to find Mi Zi!
Just as Mo Ziyu was running towards Mi Zi's main account, two figures stopped in front of Mo Ziyu, and these two people were the personal servants of the county lord of Jingyao.
Then, the lord of Jingyao County came over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's so late, what are you going to do?"
"If you have something to do with the world, get out of the way!" Mo Ziyu said, "You said that I am in the barracks, and you will not trouble me." ”
"I said I wouldn't trouble you!" Jing Yao smiled coldly, "But I didn't say that I would let you go to see Brother Qi Zi, not to mention that it's still the middle of the night, Brother Qi Zi's injury is almost better, what excuse do you have to seduce him?"
"I don't have time to talk to you right now. Mo Ziyu said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
"If you really have serious things, I'm not an unreasonable person, you can tell me, and I will tell Brother Mi Zi. Jing Yao said lightly with her hands behind her back.
"Okay. Mo Ziyu said, "I just found a black shadow, Xiao Yi has chased after it, you go and tell the prince to let him send more people to patrol the defense, so as not to have enemies mixed in!"
"Such a trivial matter!" Jing Yao said lightly, "Just leave it to me, you can go back." ”
At this time, I only heard someone shouting: "Come on, it's not good, it's out of the water!"
"It's water!" Jing Yao's face changed, and she hurriedly turned around, only to see that there was really a fire in front of her.
"Xiao Yi!" Mo Ziyu was worried about Qin Yi's safety, so he chased after the place where it was on fire.
I was even more shocked when I walked into my heart, this place on fire was not ordinary, it was Lin Qian's tent, and the soldiers around him began to put out the fire, and on the other side, several people surrounded one person, and that person was none other than Qin Yi.
Mo Ziyu hurriedly went over and asked, "Xiaoyi, what's the matter?"
"They're in a gang, take her down!"
As soon as the words fell, Mo Ziyu was pressed to the ground by the two soldiers, completely caught off guard, and she asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
It's a pity that no one has answered her doubts yet, only to see a knife across her neck, and the one threatened: "Put down the house and surrender, otherwise this woman's life will be lost!"
Qin Yi frowned, then put down the long sword in his hand, and several soldiers rushed up and tied him up.
After a while, he saw the figure of Qi Zi coming in a hurry, and he asked anxiously, "Where is General Lin Qian?"
At this time, the two soldiers carried out a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was Lin Qian.
Qi Zi's face turned pale: "How can this be!"
As soon as Lin Qian died, then there must be a change in the 50,000 people who surrendered!
"What the hell is going on!" Qi Zi said coldly.
"Shizi, the murderer has been caught. The soldier clenched his fists and said, "There it is!"
Qi Zi looked over, weren't the two people who were pressed to the ground Jiang Liu and Qin Yi?
His face changed again, and he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing!
"Shizi, they are the murderers of Lin Qian!"
Qi Zi naturally refused to believe it, and said after a pause: "Let them go, they are not murderers, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter." ”
At this time, Ge Cai whispered beside Mi Zi: "Shizi, General Lin Qian is dead, how should the 50,000 people who surrendered explain to them? They were captured on the spot, and they are from the Northern Xia, saying that they are murderers will definitely not make people suspicious, and in front of those 50,000 people, the murderers will be brought to justice, and they will naturally not mutiny! Shizi, the overall situation is important, so they have to act like this!"
Mi Zi's face was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth and thought about it, and said: "The murderer may still be hiding in the barracks, if you don't find him now, the next person to be killed may be me!"
He glanced at the soldiers behind Mo Ziyu and shouted coldly: "Let people go!"
Seeing this, the soldiers had no choice but to let Mo Ziyu and Qin Yi go.
Qi Zi hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Mo Ziyu said: "Not long ago, I found a black shadow with Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi chased after me, I was going to talk to you about it, I found a fire on the way, so I chased after it." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Qin Yi again and asked, "Xiaoyi, what happened?"
"I kept chasing the black shadow until I got here, the black shadow suddenly got into the tent, I also followed in, and when I came in, I found that General Lin had been killed, and then the tent suddenly caught fire, I took his body out of the tent together, and they surrounded him as soon as he came out!" Qin Yi said lightly.
"Who can prove what you say?" Ge Cai asked rhetorically, "Who knows if you made up that dark shadow?"
"No one can prove it. Qin Yi said lightly, "Believe it or not, that man in black should still be hiding somewhere in the barracks now." ”
"We have no incentive to do this. Mo Ziyu said, "What good is it for us to kill General Lin?"
"Isn't civil strife your goal?" said Ge Cai, sneering.
