Chapter 55: Halfway to robbery
Xi Duyun was stunned by Cuixin's question, and Cuixin smiled and showed a clear smile.
"It's all here, the girl doesn't have to hide it, I secretly hid a few good books, and I saw that the girl was a hobby, so I took them out and lent them to the girl."
Cuiyun's words were like a magic stick selling medicine on the streets, trying her best to fool Xi Duyun into buying her super strong pills.
"Oh, in that case, you just have to send it, it's an honor to see Miss Cuixin's private collection. That's okay, if you take Xiaoyu back, I'll follow you, I'll go and get it so that you don't have to run back and forth, which is inconvenient. ”
On weekdays, people who can't hit one place with eight poles come to the momentum as long as they talk about things they like together.,There are a lot of people who love to read books in Qingyu Pavilion.,But there are not a few people who like to read books like Cuixin.,And it's a "special book.。 ”
"That's very good." Cui Xin couldn't wait to stuff the collection of books to Xi Duyun, and Xi Duyun was naturally happy to take her in the past.
"Oh, yes, do you know where your master has been these days? Why didn't you let me go out of the house? ”
Cuiyun's mouth was tight, irrelevant things, no matter how much you asked, she wouldn't answer a word, so Xi Duyun didn't ask her.
Xi Duyun thought that the set was close, and she was hoping to learn something from Cui Xin's mouth, and when she opened her mouth, Xi Duyun found that she had thought too much.
The subordinates of the Qi Mansion are very loyal to Qi Lichen, and they will carry out what Qi Lichen tells them unconditionally, and what Cuiyun will not say, Cuixin will not say either. I saw Cui Xin smiling at Xi Duyun, a knowing smile was all in plain sight.
Xi Duyun shrugged his shoulders, and asked if he didn't want to ask, so he obediently stayed in the mansion for a few days, and then asked when Qi Lichen came back.
After placing Xi Duyu back in the bedroom, Cui Xin went back to her room, and when she came out, she took a few books and gave them to Xi Duyun mysteriously. Before Xi Duyun could look at it, it snowed heavily in the second half of the night.
As soon as the person lay down on the bed, she hurriedly got up and took the quilt to cover the vegetables without opening a page of the book, otherwise she would wake up the next day, and the vegetables she planted in the yard would freeze to death.
Bai Bing was worried about the persimmons and pears that were resting in the yard, and he actually ran over at night and said that the pears and persimmons would be frozen.
Xi Duyun couldn't help but laugh and sent him away, this heavy snow was just right for the fruits spread out in the yard.
The accumulated drowsiness disappeared because of this snow, and the plum blossoms inserted in the vase were fully bloomed, and the fragrance of flowers in the room was even stronger.
"Why is it that Qi Lichen is extremely busy whenever it snows." There were five books piled up on the table, and Xi Duyun casually took the top one and began to flip through it.
Outside the window, the snow was pouring and he couldn't see things in the distance, so Xi Duyun simply closed the window.
Twenty miles away from Qi County, a group of people and horses are speeding in the snow, these people are wearing armor, swords around their waists, and horses are wearing iron armor.
The number of people in the team is not large, roughly there are more than a dozen people, and they are traveling quickly on a snowy night, and the direction of the city is the capital. In the dark night, the sound of iron armor sounded, under the influence of the wind, like an exotic girl dancing in the snowy night, and the iron pieces collided together crisp and pleasant.
The night was dark, and although I couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, I could clearly see the bright eyes on everyone's faces, a pair of eyes that would not be covered by the light no matter how big the wind and snow were.
They walked through the valley, each with his own heart. Recently, corrupt officials in the DPRK and China have been exposed one after another, and the details have been spread throughout the country, and the emperor intends to suppress the scandal in the court.
In the case of one spread of ten and ten to hundreds, this matter was widely implicated, not to mention the shock of the court, and the people began to complain.
If the situation continues to develop like this, the consequences are unimaginable, and the revelation of corrupt officials came at the right time, and it happened suddenly, one after another, interlocking, and it is not impossible to say that someone is pushing behind it.
Soon after the founding of the Zhaoguo, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, they did not exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty, and these remaining people became a big trouble for the emperor, and he always felt that what they were going to do, and the apparent peace was just waiting for the opportunity.
Today's Zhaoguo seems to be prosperous, but in fact, the military power is scattered, which is for the emperor in the turbulent situation, as long as the power is not in his own hands, he will not be at ease.
The outbreak of the corrupt official incident once again reminded the emperor that the situation was unstable, not long ago, the emperor asked people to send the edict to all parts of the border passes, and recalled all the generals.
The military power of the Zhao Kingdom is in the hands of several major military families, and the emperor controls only three-tenths of it.
When the marquis was worshipping the prime minister, everyone shouted long live the emperor, how many people were really loyal? Only they themselves know.
The emperor doesn't know, even the closest people around him may not be able to fully trust, let alone those people who are far away at the border and the emperor is far away? In the struggle for power, there can be no trust between the two sides, and everyone wants to get more benefits.
The wind passed through the valley, and the wind was squeezed and made a terrible sound, and no one noticed the figures lurking on either side of the valley. The leader has a pair of extremely good-looking Ruifeng eyes, but at this moment, there is only a ruthless spirit in these eyes.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and the black-clothed man led by him handed a look to the people around him, and the people on both sides will understand, and see the opportunity to pull up the rope buried in the snow first.
When he noticed that it was too late for the taut rope, the horse tripped over the rope, was frightened, let out a neigh, and fell into the snow.
The man on the horse flipped off his horse, and before he could figure out what was going on, the man in black who was hiding in the shadows jumped up from the bushes and slashed down, and in an instant the leader of the team was in a different place.
"Kill." The black-clothed man at the head shook off the blood on the knife, coldly spit out a word, and the black-clothed man hiding in the dark drew his knife in response, and the cold light of the blade flashed under the night, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
The next day, the emperor urgently summoned the generals back to Beijing, and the generals were robbed and killed on the way back to Beijing, and the news of the death of several generals spread throughout the capital. To say that the original court was just unstable, this matter together will usher in real restlessness.
The bodies of several great generals were sent back to the capital, and the emperor personally went out of the city gate to greet them, and ordered the abbot of the Ministry of Rites to mourn them.
Some people say that the emperor remembers the grace of the monarch and ministers, and some people say that the emperor designed to kill several generals in order to collect military power. Between the two, apparently the latter is more convincing.
On the cusp of the storm, two days later, the emperor ordered that several generals who had been robbed and killed be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and then he would personally ascend to the Temple of Heaven to chant for several generals.
Qi County is not far from the capital, and the matter naturally spread, but Xi Duyun is closed in the Qi Mansion and does not know anything about this matter.
Thinking about the pears and persimmons that he was hanging in the yard, as soon as Xi Duyun opened his eyes in the morning, Cuiyun pushed the door in.
"Girl, it's not good, all the fruits you dried in the yard were frozen, especially the pears, all of them were black, and the slaves and maids had already let people put them away, and the fruits were frozen like ice cubes." Cuiyun frowned, puzzled.
Xi Duyun stretched and rubbed her eyes that were a little swollen: "It's right to freeze black, you go to Xiaoyu's side to see if she is awake, if she does, call her to my side for breakfast." ”
Xi Duyu has the habit of other children, that is, she doesn't like to eat, and when she opens her eyes, she thinks about what she wants to play today, so Xi Duyun has to stare at her for breakfast.
"There is one thing that the girl has to deal with before calling Miss Xi, Mr. Xu is here."
