Hao Yang escorted Yang Xue back to the palace and immediately went to see Ji Wen. Shen Yi's maid hid in the dark and peeked at all this, and ran to report the good news to Shen Yi excitedly.

As soon as Ji Wen saw Yang Xue coming back, he asked directly, "How is it?" So what did Lu Qing say? ”

Lu Qing naturally didn't dare to refuse the prince's kindness, and he had already thought of a way to delay Zhou Ji. He planned to wait for Zhou Ji to quietly destroy the siege equipment before attacking the city, so as to delay Zhou Ji's time. Yang Xue said.

Ji Wen nodded: "Then what are we going to do?" Just wait for him to act? ”

Yang Xue smiled: "Naturally, we have to make some trouble for Zhou Ji, Lu Qing destroyed the siege equipment, Zhou Ji will definitely mobilize nearby craftsmen for repair, and the prince can transfer all the nearby craftsmen to other places in advance before this, so that Zhou Ji can't find craftsmen, so he can only mobilize them from elsewhere, and it will delay some time." ”

Ji Wen laughed out loud after hearing this: "Zhou Ji met his concubine and really reached the eighth lifetime of mold!" ”

Yang Xue smiled with Ji Wen, but she hesitated in her heart, she wanted to get rid of Hao Yang, but she was worried that Ji Wen would be suspicious, so she was a little conflicted in her heart. After thinking about it, Yang Xue decided to take a risk: "By the way, Lord Wang, why did you suddenly send Hao Yang to find your concubine today?" Could something be happening? ”

Ji Wen didn't want to tell Yang Xue about Shen Yi, but just prevaricated: "It's nothing, it's just that this king is worried about the safety of his concubine." After all, Concubine Ai is a woman's family, and I don't feel at ease when you go out alone. ”

Yang Xue naturally didn't believe such a high-sounding reason, but she didn't debunk it, but pretended to be moved and said: "The prince cares for the concubine, which really flatters the concubine, and the concubine will definitely handle this matter and share the worries for the prince!" After speaking, Yang Xue leaned on Ji Wen's shoulder like a bird.

Ji Wen touched Yang Xue's hair: "Okay, Concubine Ai has worked hard today, let's rest early." After speaking, Ji Wen felt a burst of pride in his heart: this woman is a woman after all, and he was moved to cry bitterly if he was a little better to her.

Yang Xue nodded, but made a look of wanting to say something, so that Ji Wen saw it all.

Ji Wen was puzzled, so he stopped Yang Xue again: "What else does Concubine Ai have to say to this king?" ”

Yang Xue made an expression of inner struggle, and then said: "Lord Wang, you care for your concubines, and your concubines are naturally happy." It's just that at this stage, Hao Yang can't be allowed to follow the concubine, otherwise it will ruin the prince's plan. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Lord Wang, Lu Qing lives with Zhou Ji, and the concubines rarely show up on weekdays, and those guards don't know the concubines, so the concubines going to Lu Qing will not arouse Zhou Ji's suspicions. But Hao Yang is different, who in this golden city doesn't know that Hao Yang is your personal guard? If I let Hao Yang follow me, others will definitely know my identity, so that if I go to Lu Qing, it is likely to arouse Zhou Ji's suspicion, and then our plan will be ruined. ”

Ji Wen frowned after listening to Lao Gao, Yang Xue didn't seem to want anyone to follow her, could she still be bored? So Ji Wen deliberately said: "It's still Concubine Ai's thoughtfulness, I forgot about this stubble, but Concubine Ai is not at ease when she goes in and out of this king alone!" ”

Yang Xue didn't know if Ji Wen really cared about his own safety or wanted to send someone to spy on him, so he said: "If the prince is really not at ease with his concubines, he can find two people to secretly protect the safety of his concubines, as long as they don't reveal their identities?" ”

Ji Wen nodded thoughtfully, and agreed to Yang Xue's request.

Waiting for Yang Xue to leave, Ji Wen immediately summoned Hao Yang and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Yang Xue to judge whether Yang Xue really had a problem.

Early the next morning, Yang Xue went out again and walked towards the place where Zhou Ji's army was stationed. Along the way, Yang Xue kept paying attention to her behind, and she didn't find anyone following her, which made Yang Xue very strange. However, in Yang Xue's opinion, no matter whether anyone follows him or not, as long as he enters Zhou Ji's military camp, those people should not dare to follow him anymore.

It wasn't until Yang Xue entered Zhou Ji's military camp that two figures appeared behind him, and it turned out that this time Hao Yang personally led someone to follow Yang Xue.

Seeing Yang Xue enter the barracks, the entourage hurriedly asked Hao Yang, "Lord Hao, what should we do?" ”

Hao Yang narrowed his eyes: "You follow in, I'll wait for you outside!" ”

Yang Xue entered the barracks and walked directly to Lu Qing's house. Seeing Lu Qing, Yang Xue conveyed Ji Wen's meaning to him, and then chatted about some details of the plan, and Yang Xue was about to leave.

Pushing open the door, Yang Xue suddenly found a figure in civilian clothes flashing and hiding in a corner.

Yang Xue narrowed her eyes, returned to the house and said to Lu Qing, "Master Lu, I seem to be being followed." ”

"How is that possible? Who is so bold as to follow up in the barracks? ”

Yang Xue thought for a moment and pointed to the corner where the figure disappeared and said, "Just now there was a person in civilian clothes who was staring here, Lord Lu thought about it, who else in this military camp would be so bold except for the people who were Zhou Ji?" ”

Lu Qing was stunned: "How come?" Could it be that Zhou Ji noticed it so quickly? ”

"I'm afraid so! It must have been yesterday when the prince sent Hao Yang over to alarm Zhou Ji, you must know that Hao Yang is the prince's personal guard, Zhou Ji must have noticed something! ”

"This is difficult to do, Zhou Ji has precautions, we will not be able to succeed!" Lu Qing sighed.

Yang Xue suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Is there a reliable person around Lord Lu?" ”

"This one must be there."

"In that case, let's not do anything, Lord Lu directly asked his subordinates to get rid of the person who was following him. I took the opportunity to sneak out, so that Zhou Ji didn't know who was meeting Master Lu. At that time, even if he will guard against Lord Lu, he will not guard against the prince! Yang Xue said coldly.

Lu Qing gritted his teeth after hearing this: "Okay, I'll send someone to do it, Madame, wait a while!" ”

After a while, Lu Qing ran back in a panic: "Madame's guess is indeed right, there is indeed a suspicious person who has been eliminated by my subordinates, Madame should leave quickly." ”

Yang Xue didn't delay, immediately left Lu Qing's house, and walked around the barracks, Yang Xue was sure that no one was following behind her, so she walked to Zhou Ji's house!

Zhou Ji was very puzzled when he saw Yang Xue coming: "Mrs. Yang suddenly visited, but what advice do you have?" ”

Yang Xue looked behind her and made a panicked look: "General, the prince colluded with Lu Qing to prevent the general from attacking Huaiguo!" I risked my life this time to tell the general to be careful of the two of them! ”

"What?" Zhou Ji looked shocked: "Lu Qing is already at odds with me, he will make trouble for me, I have been prepared for it, but why would the prince collude with him?" Does Madame have any proof? ”

Yang Xue shook her head, but said anxiously: "I heard it with my own ears, they want to unite to destroy the general's siege equipment, if the general doesn't believe it, you can wait and see!" ”
