Chapter 41: Entering the City (I)

The tent at the back of the Luang camp was also extremely simple, with a few marching beds and wooden tables and chairs.

Lu Ning pondered about the matter of Jinyang City, and Xiao Zhouhou, You Yiyi and Huang Baoyi were beside him, and they didn't dare to speak, for fear of interrupting his train of thought.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Lu Ning smiled: "Concubine Xian is here." ”

Sure enough, Huang Cancan's tent curtain was lifted, and the pretty figure who walked in was the folding flower.

Although Lu Ning had already asked the etiquette in the barracks to be simple, the three little girls in Xiao Zhouhou naturally stood up and called people, Xiao Zhouhou called "Sister Xianfei", and You Yiyi and Huang Baoyi called "Xianfei Niangniang".

"Your Majesty, the concubine received a reply from the Guo family's sister." Zhe Saihua handed a piece of letterhead to Lu Ning.

Juanxiu's handwriting seems to be written by Empress Guo herself, but inside it is a saying that the saint is willing to go out of the city to meet with the lord of the Southern Dynasty and talk about peace, but the Qi army needs to retreat fifty miles.

Zhesaihua said: "Your Majesty, if I revise the book again, I will say that I can't withdraw from the army, and Your Majesty is willing to meet with Liu Jun across the moat." ”

Lu Ning smiled, "Forget it, in this way, if you repair the book, you will say that my envoy wants to enter the city to meet Liu Jun to see if he agrees." ”

Zhe Saihua blinked her clear and beautiful eyes, "Your Majesty has entered Jinyang City, and you can't see Liu Jun if you want to, why don't you go into the city to see the Guo family's sister, how about Your Majesty pretending to be my handmaid?" I heard that His Majesty was dressed as a woman, and the queen mistook it for a woman, and it was not until later, when she saw His Majesty's true face, that she gradually guessed it. ”

Lu Ning was speechless for a moment, this virtuous concubine is very smart, but she is also true and sincere.

She quickly guessed that she wanted to blend in with the team of envoys entering the city and find an opportunity to catch Liu Jun.

In this way, it is far better for her to go into the city to see Queen Guo, then, most of the time, you may see Liu Jun, and if she pretends to be her personal maid, there are indeed many opportunities to catch Liu Jun.

Obviously, Yongning told her about being a man and a woman, and it seems that Yongning really has nothing to talk about in order to win over Concubine Xian, and she can tell Concubine Xian this little secret.

Concubine Xian, she didn't take it seriously, and shook it out for herself in front of a few little girls.

Looking at Xiao Zhou's strange appearance, You Yiyi almost burst out laughing, but Huang Baoyi was a little embarrassed, wishing she hadn't heard it.

Lu Ning was speechless for a while.

Then he coughed dryly, "It's not appropriate." ”

The two armies are fighting, how can they make the imperial concubine fall into the tiger's mouth in front of everyone? Not to mention the dangers, even if you catch that Liu Jun, it's good to say that it's not good, isn't it?

As for himself, it doesn't matter, if he can capture Jinyang City without blood, it will be known to the whole army about dressing up as a woman, and it doesn't matter, not to mention, this must be an unsolved case, and no one will know how he entered the city.

Then, Lu Ning's heart moved, and said: "You can do it in both ways, not only send an envoy into the city to negotiate peace and recruit Liu Jun, but also send a female official to visit Mrs. Guo on your behalf." ”

Suddenly, he touched the crown of his hair, and said helplessly: "I am pretending to be a man and a maidservant, and I use a crown to tie my hair, but in the back, it is also empty." However, now that my Qi people gradually have a short-haired style, they have been wantonly rumored and slandered by the Han court, and the short-haired maid should not be too eye-catching, right? ”

glanced at You Yiyi and Huang Baoyi, "Yiyi, you pretend to be Concubine Xian's attendant and enter the city to see the Guo family for Concubine Xian." ”

In this Northern Expedition, there were no female officials with them, You Yiyi and Huang Baoyi seemed to be serving their female officials, and when they went to see Queen Guo's female officials, they could only choose from the two of them.

As for the accompanying female guards, they are all heroic, pretending to be docile female officials, and they are afraid that they will be exposed if they don't say a few words.

You Yiyi is clever, beautiful and cute, and what she does is also Secretary Shang's business.

Hearing Lu Ning's words, You Yiyi was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty!" "I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will regret it, but with Concubine Huangxian and Concubine An, You Yiyi called Lu Ning "Your Majesty" instead of "brother-in-law".

Zhi Saihua hesitated to say something, but when she saw Lu Ning's series of orders, she didn't say much.

……

Under the city of Jinyang, Lu Ning and other more than a dozen people stood outside the city gate, the Han soldiers at the head of the city were twisting the suspension bridge of the moat, and the suspension bridge was twisted until it was suspended in the air.

Lu Ning stood behind You Yiyi, dressed as a man and a maid, but outside the crown of hair on the back of his head, there was a black cloud bun coiled up.

It was Huang Baoyi, who agreed to enter the city by pretending to be a maidservant that day, and then cut his own green silk.

Thinking about it now, Lu Ning was still a little moved in her heart, although she knew that it was natural for her to do this, and pleasing Tianyan was her lifelong obligation and responsibility in the future, and it was the most noble cause in her heart, but no matter what, as a future generation, she couldn't help but be a little touched.

Nowadays, the meaning of green silk is extremely important to women, and, speaking of which, it is You Yiyi, who likes to be trendy, cut her hair short and the like, but Huang Baoyi is a very traditional thinking.

Standing behind You Yiyi who was wearing a fence on his head at this moment, Lu Ning could feel that some of the soldiers behind Xin Zhongfu were secretly looking at him, and he couldn't help but be helpless.

After all, she is a servant maid Gong'e, and when she reaches the level of a female official like You Yiyi, the soldiers more or less think that except for the Holy Son of Heaven, others cannot touch it, and they dare not look at it more.

However, the female official is not a concubine after all, but there is no sacred and undesecrated halo in her body, on behalf of the virtuous concubine Niangniang to see the queen of the northern kingdom, there may be a message that cannot be said in the letter of the virtuous concubine Niangniang, please ask Empress Guo to help persuade the Han lord to surrender, but it is also human, after all, I heard that in the past, the virtuous concubine Niangniang and the Han lord queen were like sisters.

Qin envoy Xin Zhongfu, just over 30 years old, has not yet reached the age of confusion, but in fact, ten years ago, began to serve as Guo Chongjun's secretary, six years ago, the three towns of Hebei were returned to Qi, Xin Zhongfu began to work for the new dynasty.

Now, he is the deputy envoy of the supervision of the former army of the Holy Son of Heaven's pro-army palace, assisting the army in supervising the imperial history, and is in charge of the responsibility of checking the number of soldiers in the army and the issuance of food and salary.

Now, he was added as a consolation envoy, as an envoy, and entered Jinyang City to persuade the northern puppet Han to surrender.

He was followed by only ten unarmed soldiers.

Rao is like this, when he entered the city, Xin Zhongfu and ten entourages were still searched inside and out.

However, although they pinched the bun with their hands, they were afraid that there would be a sharp weapon hidden in it, but the vital parts were put in the past. Second, I feel that those parts can't hide any weapons or the like.

Empress Guo was obviously very close to the Emperor and Concubine of Qi State, so You Yiyi and Lu Ning were introduced into the palace after entering the city, and arranged a dormitory for them in the palace, and that night, Empress Guo personally summoned You Yiyi.

Of course, because in the letter, Zhe Saihua mentioned that although You Yiyi is her close female official, she is also the sister of Concubine Huangde, and the Holy Son of Heaven also likes her very much, so he personally conquered Hedong Mountain and took her with him.

In this way, Empress Guo naturally has to treat it seriously.
