Chapter 105: When the Snow Melts, the Revelation of the Troubled Times (2-in-1)
The New Yuan Festival in the 33rd year of Emperor An is the same as before, but for ordinary people.
But for officials and princes, this is the beginning of troubled times, so this New Yuan Festival is not good.
In Qingyu City, Lu Jiuyuan did not come back, so Lu Liyuan in Cining Palace was angry for a long time.
But fortunately, on the second day of Xinyuan, the things sent by Lu Jiuyuan arrived, which made Lu Liyuan dissipate his anger a little.
This is still Lu Jiuyuan's order that Jinyiwei worked hard to deliver, and fortunately it was winter, otherwise it would have been broken before it was delivered.
In the Qingyu Palace, Concubine Yan, Jade King and Xia Mengzhi stood side by side in the courtyard of the palace.
In the south, the snow is starting to melt, but it's much colder when it turns than when it snows.
So the three people in the courtyard couldn't help but shiver, the big cotton clothes couldn't completely resist the cold, and they weren't warriors.
Even if the Jade King has the realm of the martial artist of the day after tomorrow, he is still shivering with cold, and the martial artist of the day after tomorrow is a strong body of flesh and blood, and he cannot use his true qi.
"Yu'er, are you ready?" Concubine Yan looked at the Jade King next to her and asked, When the snow melts, it should also be the time for them to make a move.
"Don't worry, the princess, the sons are ready." When the Jade King heard Concubine Yan's words, he immediately said, how could he not be ready, he has been scared every day for the past month, just to prepare.
"What about dreams?"
Now Concubine Yan calls Xia Mengzhi a dream, because Xia Mengzhi's relationship has come to that point, it doesn't matter if she is called Princess Xia or not.
And the Jade King's side is ready, and all that remains is to get the support of the Xia Emperor, otherwise it is not enough to rely on the Jade King's little power to make a plan.
However, she didn't know that Xia Mengzhi was basically gone to Qingyu, and the reason was that Emperor Lu Huaan took action to solve it.
"Concubine Niangniang, the plan may have to be delayed." When Xia Mengzhi heard what Concubine Yan said, she could only say helplessly, and she had no way to control the changes.
"Drag it out? What's going on? Concubine Yan looked at Xia Mengzhi suspiciously when she heard what Xia Mengzhi said, even the Jade King looked at Xia Mengzhi, they had been preparing for so long, and suddenly said a word to delay, isn't this teasing them.
And this plan was proposed by Xia Mengzhi at the beginning, and now it is Xia Mengzhi who says that it will be delayed, and the two of them are really indescribable.
"Guifei Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Jade King, it's not that I want to drag it, but now I don't have anyone available in the Qingyu Dynasty, and almost all of them have been solved secretly."
Xia Mengzhi naturally noticed the changes in the Jade King and Yan Guifei, so she quickly explained that she didn't want to be misunderstood by Yan Guifei and the Jade King.
And she said that the Jade King also knew this, and the people under the Jade King had lost a lot, but not as much as her.
"What's going on?" When Concubine Yan heard what Xia Mengzhi said, she looked at the Jade King and Xia Mengzhi suspiciously, how could she not know about this matter, and the Jade King had never mentioned it to her.
"Mother, this time my father made a move, and all the secret agents of the Xia Dynasty in Qingyu Emperor are gone, and the sons and daughters have also lost a lot."
In fact, the Jade King was still very happy about what Emperor Lu Huaan had done, but it was not done at the right time, it should be that Xia Mengzhi had already obtained the consent of Emperor Xia, and the plan was started before those things were resolved.
In that case, his fear of the Xia Dynasty would be reduced a lot, but the reality was not the case, Emperor Lu Huaan made a move in advance, which caught him off guard.
"It's him again, why do you have to go against me every time, Lu Jiuyuan was favoring Lu Jiuyuan when he was away, after this plan is completed, I want to see if he can still favor Lu Jiuyuan."
Hearing what the Jade King said, Concubine Yan said angrily, and then looked at Xia Mengzhi again, "Then Mengzhi will contact Emperor Xia first, and Yu'er will make some preparations to prevent accidents in the future." ”
"Yes." Xia Mengzhi and the Jade King could only nod their heads and say yes when they heard this, maybe there are benefits to delay.
"And Yu'er can start to start from the counties around Qingyu City, but it must be done in secret."
Concubine Yan was satisfied when she saw Xia Mengzhi's agreement, but even if she couldn't start planning yet, they could plan first.
In addition to Qingyu Palace, the other side of the palace is the imperial study where Emperor Lu Hua'an works.
Looking at the snow-melting scene outside the window, Emperor Lu Huaan knew that Lu Jiuyuan was afraid that he was going to make a move, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"After all, it's time for the snow to melt."
Emperor Lu Hua'an muttered in a low voice, he didn't want the arrival of the time when the snow melted, because when the time of the snow melted, something would happen to Beijun, and there would also be an accident in Qingyu City.
The most difficult thing about the eventful autumn is that he is the emperor, he has to manage the entire Qingyu Dynasty well, but also has to worry about what the Jade King and Xia Mengzhi did in secret, and he has to worry about Lu Jiuyuan in Beijun.
Maybe after a while, he can abdicate, and if he continues like this, he doesn't know if he will die suddenly, and his gray hair has increased a lot recently.
"Your Majesty," Gonggong Cao looked at Emperor Lu Hua'an in thought, but now he still had to remind.
"Well, Gonggong Cao, have you started?" Seeing Emperor Cao Gonggong, Lu Huaan immediately asked.
"Not yet, but soon." Hearing this, Gonggong Cao shook his head and said, it is true that it has not officially started.
"Now that it's time to arrange it, remember to do it tightly." When Emperor Lu Huaan heard what Gonggong Cao said, he knew that it was about to start, so he asked Gonggong Cao to start preparing.
"The old slave obeys."
After hearing Emperor Lu Huaan's words, Gonggong Cao did not leave directly, but helped Emperor Lu Huaan to go in the direction of Cining Palace.
In another place in Qingyu City, that is, in the mansion of Guo Jia, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Guo Jia in the courtyard put his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the north, and there was a brocade guard in front of him, but he was wearing ordinary clothes.
"Is it finally about to start? Looks like it's time for me to do the layout as well. ”
The sky was white, Guo Jia knew that Lu Jiuyuan was going to start the matter of the Northern Cold, as for the matter planned by the Jade King and Xia Mengzhi, let Emperor Lu Huaan worry about it, now they don't have so much strength.
"Order all the Jinyi guards who have gathered up, let them go north, inform all the northern Jinyi guards, and don't let any news about the prince return to Beijing."
This is the only thing Guo Jia can do, and if they have more people, they may be able to do more, but he believes that this is enough.
"Yes, sir."
Jin Yiwei heard Guo Jia's words and left the mansion of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, no one knew what he was going to do, maybe only Guo Jia knew.
Guo Jia looked at the Jinyi Wei who left, he knew that what he could help Lu Jiuyuan had already done, and all that was left was to stabilize the court and prevent too much turmoil in the court.
After all, he had already asked Jinyiwei to find out about the Jade King, and Xia Mengzhi and Concubine Yan were secretly making a huge plan, but he didn't find out clearly.
To the east of Yongzhou, that is, the Duan's mansion in Fengyu City, the capital of the Fengyu Empire in Jizhou.
The Duan clan is the largest family in the Fengyu Empire, and it is also the most powerful family in the Fengyu Empire.
And Duan Long's status in the Duan family is not low, if it is according to the elder system, he is at least one of the most senior elders.
However, no matter how high his status is, it can't withstand the fact that he failed in the Qingyu Dynasty, so he is targeted everywhere.
However, Duan Long didn't care at all, he was not the original Duan Long, but Jia Xu sent by Lu Jiuyuan, who just looked like Duan Long.
Jia Xu didn't care at all about the Duan family's attitude towards him, what he cared about was how to keep the Duan family's information and the information of the entire Fengyu Empire in his hands.
So that Lu Jiuyuan has a certain understanding of the Fengyu Empire, and when the time comes, he will also have a certain grasp of the Fengyu Empire's move.
It's just that today is different from usual, he is standing in his exclusive courtyard, and there are five people next to him.
These five people were the five god and demon-level brocade guards he brought from Qingyu City, and the other fifty supreme-level brocade guards were arranged by Jia Xu to go to other places.
The five brocade guards have been following, and there is no lack of Lu Jiuyuan's intentions, Lu Jiuyuan asked them to protect Jia Xu and prevent Jia Xu from having an accident.
"The snow melted after all."
Jia Xu in the courtyard looked at the snow gradually melting in front of him, and couldn't help but look in the northwest direction.
It's been several months, and he's almost found out a lot of the Duan family, leaving only the most secret things.
As for the entire Fengyu Empire, there is no hurry, now the Duan family will be clarified first, and then it will be good to start the entire Fengyu Empire.
The people who were spying on him didn't know what Jia Xu was thinking, nor did they know what Jia Xu was watching, only that Jia Xu seemed to say a word.
At the same time, in a courtyard in the middle of Yaguan City in the northern county of the Qingyu Dynasty.
Lu Jiuyuan, Li Ru and Zhang Liao, a total of three people, are about to start planning the affairs of the Northern Cold Grassland.
Because the snow is starting to melt in some places, and soon the snow will actually melt, and that's when it starts, and now it's time to prepare.
"Wenyou, the time is almost up, right?"
Lu Jiuyuan sat in the center and asked Li Ru Xun, Li Ru said that when the snow melted, it was their opportunity, but he remembered it clearly.
Now that the time for the snow to melt is almost there, it's almost time to prepare, otherwise it will be too late by the time the snow melts.
"Lord Wang, it's almost, it's time to start preparing, but Lord Wang, it seems that we don't have any other soldiers available except for Jinyiwei."
Li Ru naturally understood what Lu Jiuyuan meant, but it was indeed time, if it was any later, it would be the time for the barbarian race to be brutal.
Every year, the barbarians will go south to snatch the food of the northern county, but it is only limited to the remote counties of the northern county, such as Yaguan City, although there are no heavy guards, but there are also a certain number of soldiers, so the barbarians are unwilling to rob the food in the big city, so the losses caused to them are very serious, which the barbarians and the people of the northern county are convinced.
However, even if they knew such a result, the people of the remote counties in the northern counties still had to stay in the original place, just because of the three points of land, they were reluctant, and the same barbarian race took advantage of this to rob unscrupulously.
"Yes, this king has no soldiers under him, how can he fight this battle, do you want Yanyun's eighteen horsemen to destroy them directly?"
Lu Jiuyuan fell into deep thought, soldiers are the most important, if there are no soldiers, they really can't fight against the five major tribes of the Northern Han, which he and Li Ru, Zhang Liao and others are very clear about.
But he can't summon soldiers, the system has no rewards, and there are no temporary rewards, does the system mean that it doesn't seem to work for Jinyiwei to follow the barbarian tribes of the Northern Cold Grassland.
The remaining Feng Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen plus the Shadow Eighteen Horsemen, they are all fierce people, once the murder is great, I don't know when he will be satisfied, and he will not let the Shadow Eighteen people appear, so it really doesn't work to say that Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen will not work.
"Wen Yuan, you go and arrange a part of the Jinyi Guards to the Beijun and Beihan defense lines, and let the Jinyi Guards find a way to stop the barbarian race, as long as they cause interference, you don't have to work hard."
Lu Jiuyuan felt that Jin Yiwei was still not good, and he didn't feel anything about letting Jin Yiwei investigate the news that he was killed by the enemy, but he was absolutely dissatisfied with them being killed on the battlefield, and if Jin Yiwei wanted to die, he should also die in Jinyiwei's special field.
And sending the Jinyi Guard to intercept the barbarian race is that he wants to make the ordinary people in Beijun suffer less losses, so that the grievances between Beijun and Beihan will be smaller.
"Yes, Lord Wang,"
Zhang Liao heard Lu Jiuyuan's words and hurriedly got up and walked out of the room, as for what he did, he could only go to Jinyiwei, but when he left the room, other Jinyiwei came in.
"Lord Wang, Yanyun Eighteen has come back." Jin Yiwei knelt down on one knee and said.
"Oh, it's back." Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Yan Yun Eighteen to move so fast, "Go and arrange a place to stay, and remember to bring one over." ”
"Yes, lord." Jin Yiwei heard Lu Jiuyuan's order and got up and went out.
"Lord Wang, did Yan Yun's eighteen horses go to the first line of heaven?"
When Li Ru heard that Yan Yun was riding eighteen, his first thought was a glimmer of heaven, and in other places, he thought of why he used such a powerful force.
"Yes, this king sent them to the first line of heaven to check the situation of the wolf clan." Hearing what Li Ru said, Lu Jiuyuan didn't have to think about it and answered directly, there is no doubt about this.
At the same time, he is very interested in the first-line sky, a good wolf clan does not choose anywhere, but wants to choose the first-line sky, which is afraid that there is a cat.
"Wen You, don't you think the wolf clan's behavior is weird? Although the first-line sky is a good location, it is more than one position than the first-line sky, but the choice of the first-line sky, what is the secret has to make this king think deeply. ”
Hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, Li Ru did not speak, but pondered the meaning of what Lu Jiuyuan said, as Lu Jiuyuan said, there are indeed several places that are better than the first line of heaven.
But why did the wolf clan choose the first line of heaven, and how high the danger of the first line of heaven was, he didn't know, he didn't know how many wolf clans fell from the first line of heaven and fell to their deaths.
Even so, the wolf clan still chose a glimmer of heaven, it seems that Lu Jiuyuan's thinking is not wrong at all, he didn't find it at the beginning, but fortunately Lu Jiuyuan found out, otherwise he doesn't know how much he will lose in the future.
"By the way, Wen You, don't you think the Yue tribe is very weird? They sacrificed every year, but Jinyi Wei found out that the Yue tribe did not sacrifice this year, and this time was not exactly the time when Yan Yun Eighteen rode to the first line of heaven. ”
Lu Jiuyuan saw Li Ru, who was thinking like this, reminded again, once all these news are strung together, doesn't it just form an event, and all of them are indispensable.
Li Ru naturally could also think that the wolf clan may have an inseparable relationship with the Yue tribe, it may be that they are a cooperative relationship, and as for how to cooperate, someone understands the language of the wolf clan.
In addition to this possibility, there is only one possibility left, that is, the wolf clan and the Yue clan tribe are originally one tribe, but they are divided into two tribes.
