Gu Chen frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

As soon as the words fell, a fighting sound was heard outside the city gate.

Qin Niang's face changed, Gu Chen grabbed her, shook her head and said, "You were used as a target in the past." ”

"What then? In case of a business trip, the pool ...... "The Holy Lord will definitely blame the Yang family for not doing well."

Although it is said that the leader is the King of Ling, he can be the saint who has scruples about the King of Ling, so it is naturally not good to tear his face with him, so Yang Hong has to bear this pot.

Anyway, it's not a matter of a day or two that the Yang family is not pleasing to the eye.

"I'm afraid that no matter if there is a problem on this mission, Xishu will find a reason to make trouble." Gu Chen squinted his eyes, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

A mere Zhishi's Ministry of Industry is worth going all the way to Xishu to ask for?

They had already guessed that there was someone behind this Qian Shangshu, otherwise, he was just a Ministry of Industry Shangshu, where would he have the ability to cover the sky with one hand?

"So what do we do now?" Listening to the sound of weapons colliding and hissing not far away, her mind was confused for a moment, and she was immediately forcibly pressed down.

She can't mess up, she's prone to mistakes when she's messy.

Although this matter is likely to be a bureau, no matter whether Qian Zhongliang is dead or alive this time, Xishu has a reason to make trouble, but this matter must not be carried by the Yang family.

"Let's go home first and wait and see what happens." Gu Chen said, pulling her into his own carriage.

As soon as I returned to the house, I heard the people in the house reply and said that Tang Wan had left the house.

Qin Niang frowned: "Isn't she 'recuperating' in Wanxin Pavilion?" What do you do when you run out? ”

Although Tang Wan's feet were forbidden in the first few days when she returned to the capital, lest she become a demon again, but in the past few days for the New Year, it is not good to detain her anymore.

Qin Niang thought that she was going back to the Tang family to save her relatives, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

was just a little surprised, she wanted to go back to Tang's house, and she didn't ask Gu Chen to accompany her.

Such a good opportunity to have a long face, she actually didn't seize it.

"When the slave saw that she was dressed very solemnly, she only thought she was going back to her parents' house, so she didn't stop her." The maid who replied was assigned by Qin Niang to Wanxin Pavilion to look at Tang Wan.

said that it was sent to Tang Wan, but in fact, Tang Wan herself knew in her heart that there were still people she could make in this mansion now?

Therefore, she went out today and did not bring anyone.

By the afternoon, news of the interception soon came back.

Yang Hong and others were intercepted and killed as soon as they escorted the prisoner cart out of the city gate, and the other party's goal was very clear, that is, to kill Qian Zhongliang.

Although the soldiers defending the city also went to support, but the other party had already laid an ambush, and the arrows that flew from all directions were simply unguardable, as Qin Niang initially expected, the person was not saved in the end, and died in the prisoner car.

As soon as the man died, the ambush soldiers immediately retreated, not even grabbing a single mouth.

The group almost immediately entered the palace to resume their lives.

The saint's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he immediately summoned the six central departments into the palace to discuss, and did not release the group out of the palace until the afternoon.

Yang Hong was injured.

After getting the news, Qin Niang almost immediately took the carriage and went to the Yang Mansion again.

"Qin'er, calm down, there is no reproach on this matter, which means that your eldest brother is very smart and will definitely be fine." Along

, Gu Chen held her hand and kept comforting.

"The absence of rebuke does not mean that the Holy One does not remember this account in his heart." The so-called Sacred Heart is unpredictable, maybe the damage is a bit heavy today, and that Qian Zhongliang is a deserving person, so it is difficult to punish them.

But who can say for sure that His Majesty is not silently writing down this account in his heart, and when he has the opportunity, he will ruthlessly let the Yang family eat the first meal?

The carriage drove into the Yang Mansion quickly, and Qin Niang didn't care about a lot of false courtesies, so she led Gu Chen to the front yard.

As she expected, Yang Hong was seriously injured, an arrow pierced the abdomen, and there were several knife wounds on his body, just listening to it, she knew that the injury was not light, and she needed to stay in bed for at least a month to recuperate.

When they arrived, Yang Yuanhai and the Lu family were in the front hall.

"Although it looks like it is very badly injured, the doctor said that it did not hurt the vital point, your eldest brother is strong, and he can barely get out of bed after ten days and half a month." Yang Yuanhai took a sip of tea, "A few of us have been discussing in the palace for a long time, and we all feel that this Xishu asking for Qian Zhongliang by name may be an excuse, now that the person is dead, the other party is at most just looking for a chance to start a war." ”

Xishu had reached an armistice with Donglin before, and there had been no war for many years.

I never thought that as soon as the old emperor died, the new emperor began to be eager to try.

"I heard that this new emperor has just reached the weak crown, and he thinks that he is young and vigorous, and he wants to establish his authority, otherwise, those brothers and uncles under him will not obey him." Gu Chen said lightly, "Xishu is different from our side, we have always ruled the country with literature in the east, but those barbarian countries all advocate force, and the princes who have not been on the battlefield are not obeyed at all." ”

The new emperor of Xishu was still young, and he didn't have time to go to the army to train, so the old emperor died, and he was hurriedly pushed to the throne, of course, he had to wait for the opportunity to stand up.

It's not hard to see why.

"When I first heard that the prisoner was shot at the city gate, the saint's face was ugly." Yang Yuanhai recalled that picture, and sighed in his heart, "This is still at the foot of the imperial city!" Those thieves are so rampant, they are slapping him in the face. ”

"Dad, did the eldest brother say who ambushed them?" Qin Niang asked.

"Those people look like trained dead soldiers, they are quick and ruthless, and they have a clear goal, and after they succeed in the move, they immediately withdraw cleanly, and they don't have half a horse left." Yang Yuanhai frowned, "If it weren't for your eldest brother who deliberately took a few hits when he saw that the situation was not good, I'm afraid that on the Holy Lord's side, it would not be so easy to explain, after all, King Ling's injury was not light." ”

Qin Niang said in her heart, sure enough.

She said, how could the saint not blame, this is a rebellion at the foot of the imperial city, if you don't have a little color on your body, it is inevitable that you will not be punished for a crime of disadvantage.

However, everyone was seriously injured, and the other party came prepared, and it was not even certain whether those people were killers sent from Xishu at present, if he still had to punish the Yang family at this time, I am afraid that he would inevitably have an unkind reputation.

"Next, Jingzhao Mansion Yin is afraid that he will be in trouble." Qin Niang took a sip of tea and couldn't help but silently shed tears of sympathy for Li Mu.

This kind of thing happened at the foot of the imperial city, and it is very likely that spies from enemy countries will sneak in, this kind of thing, if Jingzhao Mansion Yin can't find out the reason, I'm afraid that he will be angry.

"Presumably, the saint's face was slapped in the face is one of them, and there is another reason, probably once the Xishu side wants to go to war, I am afraid that it will be the military grain and grass

It's a lot of money, right? Gu Chen said with a word.

In recent years, it seems that the world is peaceful and the country is prosperous, but in fact it is really a disaster for many years, plus those officials have been greedy for so many years, and the taxes of all parties are strict, many ordinary people have fallen into the grass, and the homeless people have fled in all directions.

If there is to be a war at this time, then it must cost money.

"Now Donglin is really an internal and external trouble!" Yang Yuanhai couldn't help but sigh, "Today's saints are too gentle, and sometimes they lack decisiveness in their actions. ”

To put it nicely, it is mild, but to put it badly, it is a little weak, and it has soft ears and is easy to be fooled.

If not, then where would a second-grade Shangshu have the courage to do such a corrupt thing?

Moreover, it doesn't seem to be a matter of one or two days, and even many people have been dragged into the water, even if they are pulled out, it is also very troublesome.

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, such an emperor can naturally be regarded as a benevolent monarch, but if he is born at such a time, his ability will gradually be exposed.

The family talked in the front hall for a while, and they also knew that Yang Hong was fine, so they went their own way.

Nowadays, there are no people on the street, and it is easy to check some outsiders, but those people are outside the city, and after the matter is completed, they will scatter around, and it is not something that Jing Zhaoyin can investigate.

He could only strengthen the guards and patrols in the city, and as for the outside of the city, it was no longer within the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

So, the saint sent Cheng Anhou out of the city overnight to investigate this matter, and ordered him to find out whether he wanted the enemy to infiltrate.

Before the Spring Festival began, some people were panicked because of the city gate interception incident, and the year suddenly had no taste.

That night, Tang Wan didn't come back until very late.

The maid from Wanxin Pavilion came over to report, saying that when Tang Wan came back, she seemed to be in a good mood, and it seemed that someone had given her the two medicines.

Because, a few of them stayed outside the house for an hour and didn't hear her seizure, so they came to report.

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Mama Jin in surprise, as if to say, your old man's medicine can be solved by someone.

"You go back, come here again to report something." After Qin Niang sent the maid, Qiu Tao asked people to close the door.

"Miss, it seems that this Tang Erniang has found a helper." Mama Jin had that kind smile on her face, but only those who knew her knew what kind of thoughts were hidden under her smile.

"Looks like she's got a big backer again." Qin Niang nodded noncommittally.

After all, Mama Jin has always been good at concocting some strange medicines, although she can't be regarded as proficient in the art of Qihuang, but because these are not poisons, they are just things that can make people suffer.

Such medicines are generally not willing to be studied by doctors, so these medicines made by Mama Jin are really difficult for ordinary people to solve.

If it weren't for the fact that she met someone who was very proficient in pharmacology, how could Tang Wan's medicine be solved in just one day!

"Miss, this Tang Erniang won't be so honest forever, the old slave feels like she is about to start playing new tricks again." Mama Jin said with a smile.

really
