Chapter 35: Pre-War Preparations
"What is the current situation of Shaohui Palace?" Wei Chihao asked.
"Back to my father, there is news from the palace that Wu Zizhi went north to King Qin, and now all the regent ministers and the eight divisions are restricted from moving around at will in the palace." Wei Chihong said with some uncertainty.
"Hong'er is panicking, I'm afraid that this little third son will do everything, all the passes out of the Southern Twilight City have been under martial law, don't be afraid, we didn't rebel, aren't the guards of the inner palace and the change of generals at Beitan Wharf all decided by his captain Chi Ze, you and I just need to see what tricks this Wei Chi Qing has to play." Wei Chihao analyzed.
"Father, my son heard that this Wu Zizhi also brought a team of men and horses to the north to King Qin, according to the system, he has no right to mobilize so many officers and soldiers, is it to start a war?" Wei Chihong asked.
"In this way, Hong'er, you continue to keep an eye on Miyagi, and notify me as soon as there is any trouble." Wei Chihao should also be on guard in advance.
South Twilight City, Shaohui Palace.
Except for Pan Quyang, the doctor in front of the palace, and Gao Yanmei, the supervisor of the White Mirror Division, the rest of the princes and ministers have been taken by Zhao Gonggong to other places of placement.
"General Wu, now that the Shaohui Palace is his own people, Yu Zai also told you in his heart about this military operation, which will benefit me and do no harm to my Southern Twilight City, what does General Wu think?" Wei Chiqing asked.
"General Wu is in charge of the transportation of grain and grass, and he has been captured by hand, but Weichen is worried that after the matter is completed, these countries will be able to divide the part of my Nandui according to the covenant." Wu Zizhi voiced his concerns.
"General Hu Ranwu of Beihun doesn't have to worry, in order to restrict the development of Shangyuan Country and Zunji Country, Beihu will definitely support my Southern Dusk City to resist Shangyuan in the west to reduce his own pressure, besides, our army's grain and grass are directly transported to the front line of Beihu, if Zunji Country does not allocate my territory to me in accordance with the covenant, then Hu Ran will also lead troops to directly occupy the part of my Southern Dusk City, after all, his Zunji Kingdom battle line is too long." Yu Chiqing said.
"The city lord's analysis is extremely important, General Wu doesn't have to worry so much, presumably the city lord and several country lords have already made up their minds." Pan Quyang Road.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, my Southern Dusk City Shangyuan Kingdom, Beihu Kingdom and Zunji Kingdom will join forces to eat it Penghua Kingdom, the matter is very high, and Yu Zi will not restrict your freedom, but for the sake of the unified action of tomorrow's unitary time, your lordships will stay in the palace city for the time being." Yu Chiqing said.
"Wechen obeys."
"It's not too early, you go to rest first, Yu Chong stays." Yu Chiqing said.
At this time, when it was close to the son, Yu Chong Wei Chiqing and Zhai Jiang'er moved to the Yanhui Pavilion, when there was no coup in the inner palace before, Wei Chiqing was too lazy to see the few adults who were not in harmony, and if there was anything, he could just let Zhai Jiang'er or Zhao Gonggong pass it on.
Wei Chi had the idea of replacing all the others early in the morning, but at that time, several parties were hindering each other and could not form a situation where one was dominant, and this time he only knocked Yu Chi Ze hard, and it seemed that he didn't find too much for Yu Chi Song and Yu Chi Hao.
Seeing Wei Chiqing's solemn expression, Zhai Jiang'er asked softly, "City Lord, why don't you talk about other things tomorrow?" โ
"No need, Yan Ruo will take it back." Wei Chiqing asked.
"Xiao Wu, they should be on the way over." Zhai Jiang'er said.
When he was in Shaohui Palace, Zhai Jiang'er secretly told him that Xiao Wu was Wu Fanzhi, and their martial arts family sent the proton of Miyagi, but Wei Chiqing never took him as a hostage, and entrusted him with the important task of the Intelligence Department, and now he has become a general on the defending side like his eldest brother Wu Zizhi.
"See the city lord, Yan Ruo is back." Yan Ruo entered the Yan Hui Pavilion and hurriedly bowed.
"Miss Yan Ruo has been wronged, Ye Yuan has nothing to make it difficult for you." Wei Chiqing asked with concern.
"Lord Lao is worried, Yan Ruo is fine."
Yu Chong saw that Wei Chiqing's eyes were full of tenderness, and he didn't seem to look at his subordinates.
"It's okay if you have nothing to do, let's go and rest early, I live in Miyagi today, and I still have important things to entrust to you and Yu to co-organize tomorrow morning."
"Co-organizers? The city lord is talking about Yu Chong, is he already the co-organizer of the Intelligence Department? Yan Ruo asked.
"Exactly, Yu Chong is upright and loyal to the Lord, and he deserves it." Yu Chiqing said.
Yan Ruo still wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhai Jiang'er giving her a look, she said, "If the city lord has nothing else to order, Yan Ruo will not disturb the city lord to rest." โ
"Yu Chong, Xiao Wu, go down together." Wei Chi Qingdao.
Out of the goose back to the pavilion, Yu Chong was relaxed, this old saying is like a companion tiger is this feeling, thanks to Wu Zizhi to go north to King Qin, this defeated the arrogance of Yu Chi Song Wei Chi Ze and Yu Chi Hao, if Wu Zizhi did not come, then what would be the situation.
Xiao Wu took the two to the already arranged residence, and hurried to find his eldest brother, saying that if it weren't for three years ago, Wei Chiqing's father went south to comfort the garrison and brought him by name, and it was more difficult to see his relatives than to ascend to the sky.
"Yan Ruo, are you okay?" Yu Chong and Yan Ruo's residences were relatively close, and neither of them was in a hurry to go to bed.
"It's okay, Ye Yuan doesn't dare to do anything with me." Yan Ruo said.
"Oh." Yu Chong didn't know what to say at this time.
"Oh, by the way, congratulations to Yu for co-organizing, this career will be smooth in the future." Yan Ruo said.
"Don't make fun of me, I really didn't expect the city lord to reuse someone like me at first, who doesn't have a prominent family background."
"Maybe the city lord doesn't like these, what's good about the illustrious background, Wei Chi Song Wei Chi Ze has a prominent background, and the city lord is not the same, always thinking about disobeying the city lord, if it weren't for this blood relationship, the city lord would have corrected the two of them a long time ago." Yan Ruo said.
"I don't know what happened to Ah Fu and Xiao Wan, Sheng Yu that old man still threatened me and asked me to assassinate the city lord." Yu Chong said.
"I heard Xiao Wu mention this, he has sent someone to guard your shop, I believe that no matter how ruthless Sheng Yu is, he will not dare to use a knife or a gun with the palace guards." Yan Ruo said.
"It's still the city lord who thinks it through." Yu Chongdao.
"In the future, you have more contact, and you will respect the city lord more, the heart of the city lord is unfathomable, go and rest early, it seems that the city lord will entrust you and me with important things tomorrow." Yan Ruo said.
"Okay, good night Yan Ruo."
Yan Ruo smiled and went back to his residence, Yu Chong looked at Yan Ruo's back blankly, and remembered that Yu Chiqing looked at Yan Ruo's tender gaze, Yu Chong shook his head vigorously, went back to the room and fell asleep.
The next day, when he first arrived, a small official knocked on the door and called, saying that the city lord announced that Yan Ruo and he were going to Yanhui Pavilion, Yu Chong hurriedly combed and went out, and saw Yan Ruo changing into a lilac petal coat waiting for him, so he walked over and went to Yanhui Pavilion with Yan Ruo.
Yu Chong had just stepped into the Yanhui Pavilion and saw that Wu Zizhi had already been seated in front, Wei Chiqing glanced at the two of them and nodded, and then said to Wu Zizhi, "Fortunately, General Wu has taken control of the commercial dock in Southern Dusk City last night, and the garrison must be hidden, so as not to let the merchants find anything else." Wei Chiqing said.
"Don't worry, city lord, last night, Sheng Yu Lao'er, the big boss and the second boss were all waiting at the dock all night for the good news that they could co-organize, and Wu happened to serve it in one pot, and none of them ran." Wu Zizhi laughed when he said it.
"This Nandui Wharf, Yu Kan still has to be controlled by the official family, so let's do it, before the personnel are determined, Commander Zhai and Yu Co-Office will temporarily manage it, Yu heard that Yu Co-Office still has a position in this wharf gang, hahaha."
"The city lord laughed, they were all runs, and Sheng You and Feng Tianbiao never believed in Weichen from beginning to end." Yu Chongdao.
"It's okay to do this, before today's Shen Shi, General Wu will sit on the dock, don't give birth to side incidents, and you will definitely return to Miyagi to reorganize the army before the time of Youshi."
"Obey the order!" After Wu Zizhi finished speaking, he walked out of the goose and returned to the pavilion.
"Yan Ruo, Yu Chong, today Zhao and the two of you came to help General Wu collect military rations." Yu Chiqing said.
It is difficult to collect military rations, it is difficult to only give more than half a day, which means that the grain and grass are in place before Wu Zizhi sets out on the expedition, why not send people to collect grain early.
Wei Chiqing seemed to see Yu Chong's concerns, and said, "Yu Co-organizer is worried that there is nowhere to collect grain." โ
"What the city lord said is extremely true, the matter of requisitioning grain is very high, and Weichen is afraid that the city lord and General Wu will delay the major event."
"I expect your kid to say the same, Yu has already found a place for you to collect grain." Yu Chiqing said mysteriously.
Yan Ruo's eyes blinked, and she smiled at Yu Chiqing, "What the city lord said is ......"
"Exactly, Yu Chong, I want to learn from your boss in the future, yes, it is this Da Dong Grain Store, Yu has news that the Da Dong Grain Store has newly harvested countless rice in the past two days, which is just as the grain and grass for this campaign, you two go to do this, Yan Ruo takes Yu's waist card."
Yan Ruo took the waist card with both hands and walked out of the Yanhui Pavilion with Yu Chong.
"Why does the city lord believe in this Yu Chong so much, the last time the city lord was in danger in Mingxuan Taoist Temple, it is also related to this Yu Chong." Zhai Jiang'er said.
"Commander Zhai, since Yu wants to use him, he has seen the merits of him, you didn't find that Yu Chong was Yan Ruo's deputy since he beat him, and Yan Ruo's smile increased."
"Since the city lord likes Yan Ruo so much, why don't you just make Yan Ruo the city lord's wife." Zhai Jiang'er said.
"Since Qin Guogong was criticized by Wei Chihao, Yan Ruo no longer loves to laugh as much as before, I can't bear to break the innocence of Yan Ruo's childhood sweetheart."
"Isn't the city lord worried that Yan Ruo and Yu Chong will be in love for a long time?" Zhai Jiang'er said.
"I still choose to believe in Yan Ruo's heart, if Yan Ruo insists on this, I will completely let go and appoint her as the wife of the city lord."
"The lord of the city is really a man of affection." Zhai Jiang'er said.
It is said that Yu Chong and Yan Ruo took a team of palace guards, and when they left the palace, they went straight to the warehouse of the Da Dong grain store, Yan Ruo sent someone to the warehouse outside the warehouse first, and the warehouse manager didn't know who was coming, so he responded to Yan Ruo and sent someone to quickly call the big shopkeeper Dong Jian.
After a while, Dong Jian hurried over, and Yu Chong explained his intention to Dong Jian, but Dong Jian actually blocked the door of the warehouse and did not let the guards enter the warehouse to count the grain.
"The city lord said, it's not that he won't pay it back, he will return it in the autumn of the next year, and it's better for the shopkeeper Dong to dodge it early, but don't delay the guards to count the grain." Yu Chong said.
"I don't believe it, if I transport all the grain stored in my warehouse today, won't that mean my life, and my grain storage can be eaten by the people in the city for more than half a year, and I have taken away where the people went to buy grain." Dong Jian actually said indignantly.
"Let them move!" Everyone looked towards the voice, and it was Yu Chihong who came.
"Childe can't move, all the business of my Dadong grain store is in this grain depot, how can I gain a foothold after moving." Dong Jian almost begged Wei Chihong.
"Don't talk nonsense, you of the shopkeeper Dong hurry up." Saying that, Chi Hong stepped forward and pulled Dong Jian aside.
Yu Chong beckoned the palace guards to open the warehouse door and stationed to count the grain.
"Yan Ruo has written here again, and Master Chi knows the general situation so well."
"Thank you, girl, for the compliment." Yu Chihong said.
Yu Chong saw that Yu Chihong finished speaking, and his eyes showed a trace of anger, but he was quickly pressed back by Yu Chihong.
