Volume 1 Wanfu Li Chapter 116 On the cusp
Can't catch up.
Shen Leng couldn't find Cen Zheng for nearly a hundred miles in one go, and he didn't even know which route Cen Zheng took, and he was naturally in a bad mood when he chased him so far away in vain, Shen Leng hoped that his guess was not accurate or that Bai Shangnian's people were as unclear as he was about Cen Zheng's route.
There was a crossroads ahead, and there was no point in continuing to chase after it.
At this moment, there was suddenly another sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Shen Leng looked back and saw that it was Yang Qibao who led people to chase after him.
"General, Lord Admiral called you back."
Yang Qibao jumped down from the horse: "I don't know what's going on, I'm just in a hurry." ”
Shen Leng frowned slightly.
The people of the Liuyun Club did not know about the Guantangkou, but Zhuang Yong also knew?
He looked at Blackeye, who seemed to guess what he was thinking and nodded.
"Okay."
The corners of Shen Leng's eyebrows stretched: "Then go back." ”
The black eyes pulled Shen Leng a hand: "You go back first, I'll take someone to chase after you separately." ”
Shen Leng shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not necessary." ”
The black-eyed heart sank sharply.
The group rode back to the water division, Yang Qibao didn't know what Zhuang Yong was calling Shen Leng to go back, but he was in a hurry, after arriving at the water division, Du Weiming was already waiting outside, and the first thing he said when he saw Shen Leng was: "The general said, you have something you should do today." ”
So don't do what you shouldn't do, so Shen Leng guessed that the situation in this corner of Anyang County was still under Zhuang Yong's control.
Shen Leng naturally did not forget, Zhuang Yong invited him and Mr. Shen to visit the house, Zhuang Yong's home was originally in Anyang City only a few dozen miles away from the water division, since Zhuang Yong was transferred to the water division of the commander, the emperor asked the Yamen of Anyang County to choose a house in the city, Zhuang Yong will return to Anyang City almost once a month, but at this time after all, it is almost dark, and the night road for dozens of miles is not easy to walk.
"Lord Admiral's personal army is waiting for the general at the military tent, he seems to be preparing something, let me wait at the camp gate, for fear that you will miss it."
Dewey pointed in the direction of the military tent: "General, what happened today?" ”
Shen Leng shook his head slightly: "I'll tell you when I turn around, let's go back and rest." ”
Shen Leng arrived outside the Admiral's tent and heard the sound of conversation inside, Zhang Liang smiled at Shen Sneer: "It's up to you, General." ”
The curtain of the military tent was opened, and it was Mr. Shen and Cha'er who walked out inside.
Shen Leng felt more and more that something was wrong today, but at this moment, it seemed that he could only go step by step according to Zhuang Yong's arrangement, Zhuang Yong stood taller than him, saw farther than him, and was closer to the emperor supreme of Daning than him, so there were too many things Shen Leng couldn't figure out, but Zhuang Yong knew it clearly.
Zhang Liang took the three of them out from the back of the barracks, there was already a big car waiting outside, the car went down the path into a forest, and there were three identical carriages parked inside, but Shen Leng did not get on any of them according to Zhang Liang's arrangement, but waited for all four carriages to leave the forest and walked along the forest path, until it was dark and entered Pelican Mountain.
Pelican Mountain is close to the Nanping River behind the camp of the Water Division, and the Wei Village where Shen Leng lives is also not far from the Pelican Mountain.
This Taoist temple is not small in scale, and it also receives pilgrims during the day, Shen Leng knows that there is such a Taoist temple on the mountain, but he has never been here.
Entering the mountain gate, there are Taoists directly led them into the backyard, the lights in the backyard are much brighter than the front yard, as soon as they enter the door, they see Zhuang Yong dancing swords in the yard, the kind of dancing swords that literati will have, in the corridor under the eaves, two women stand side by side and stare at Zhuang Yong with unblinking eyes, one old and one young, with a smile on their eyebrows.
The older woman looks like she is in her thirties, or because the maintenance is not good-looking, there is no trace of the real years, there is a faint graceful atmosphere, the girl standing next to her looks like twenty-eight years old, standing quietly like a quiet orchid, the temperament is elegant, and it is unforgettable.
Seeing someone come in, Zhuang Yong immediately put the sword into the sheath, the woman hurriedly came down from the steps and smiled kindly, and the girl in the lilac dress leaned over slightly to apologize and then took the maid into the inner hall, she is the kind of type that is completely different from the tea master, the tea master is heavy, where do you care about the rules that the girl who has not been out of the cabinet can not meet guests casually.
The tea master couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the girl, and smashed it: "It's so good-looking." ”
looked sideways at Shen Leng, but found that Shen Leng's attention was on her: "Who is good-looking?" ”
Tea Master: "Didn't you see that beautiful girl just now?" ”
Shen Leng: "Just now I just glanced at Lord Admiral's swordsmanship, it's really rotten......"
Tea Master: "Ahem...... It's just a sword dance. ”
Shen Lengxin said that if the sword is not used as a weapon, what is the use of dancing?
The tea master turned his head to salute Zhuang Yong, Shen Leng breathed a long sigh of relief and said that his desire to survive is still very strong, and that girl is indeed very good-looking...... Although only glanced at it.
The woman was naturally Zhuang Yong's wife, and she was also a person in the palace, so after seeing Mr. Shen, she hurriedly came over and bowed: "Dao Chief." ”
Mr. Shen hurriedly returned the salute: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is polite." ”
Zhuang Yong smiled: "You haven't seen each other with Youya for more than ten years. ”
Hearing Zhuang Yong call himself like this in front of outsiders, Mrs. Shen's face faintly flushed, and Mr. Shen sighed again and again after reading it: "Looking at your current appearance, I even doubt that the little girl who can fight in the palace in my memory is fake." ”
Madame smiled at this time, showing a little free, and vaguely the same as back then.
Zhuang Yong invited them to sit down in the study, and the lady made tea herself, but quickly left the room.
"Surprised?"
Zhuang Yong looked at Shen Leng.
Shen Leng nodded: "Very surprised." ”
Zhuang Yong walked to the window and looked out at the deep night: "The place of Anyang County and even Jiangnan Province is far from being as peaceful as you see, in fact, the whole Daning is the same, all the prosperous splendid things are on the bright side, especially recently it has become more restless." ”
He glanced back at Mr. Shen: "It is said that His Majesty is going to make a prince." ”
Mr. Shen's face changed: "Is that the one?!" ”
"That's it, which one else could it be?"
Zhuang Yong couldn't help but sigh: "She won the bet." ”
Mr. Shen seemed to be drained of all his strength at once, and his shoulders trembled slightly when he sat there.
"Why is Your Majesty so anxious?"
"It's not that Your Majesty is in a hurry, it's Your Majesty who has no choice but to do so."
Zhuang Yong held his hand to the window and said in a somewhat sad tone: "If there is still a choice, Your Majesty will not appoint him...... Although I didn't know much about that incident back then, how could I have never heard of it at all, the queen did too much, and His Majesty locked her up for more than ten years like house arrest...... It wasn't until the year before last that Concubine Hui gave birth to a prince, who was too young. ”
Mr. Shen stood up: "Your Majesty can wait a few more years. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't want to wait."
Zhuang Yong said: "Do you know why Your Majesty wants to build a water division?" On the surface, it seems that it is to clear the sea trouble, but in fact, it is still to prepare for the fight against the black warriors in the north, with the support of a huge sailor, the black warriors can not cross the Kesulila River, and our backup supplies can also be sent to the north twice as fast as before, you should know Your Majesty's thoughts...... Your Majesty has been on the throne for almost twenty years. ”
Mr. Shen suddenly reacted: "Your Majesty wants to recruit in person?!" ”
Zhuang Yong nodded: "Yes...... That's what His Majesty has in mind, when His Majesty led the army into the Black Martial Arts for 300 miles, it was the strongest record in Daning so far, His Majesty's heart has always been in the north, but if you go to the army, someone must stay in Chang'an, so ...... It can only be the crown prince. ”
Zhuang Yong glanced at Mr. Shen and continued: "As soon as this news came out, all the families that had been deliberately estranged from the descendants came out, and the queen finally came to the end after nearly twenty years. ”
When he spoke, he saw that Mr. Shen's two hands were clenched tightly, and the back of his hand was full of green tendons.
"We can't change anything."
Zhuang Yong went over and patted Mr. Shen on the shoulder: "We are just courtiers." ”
Mr. Shen raised his head sharply: "Maybe we can change." ”
Zhuang Yong shook his head: "It's too late to change, Your Majesty's will should soon spread to the world, Your Majesty will give the prince a few years to study and accumulate, and it will only take three or five years at most for Your Majesty's Northern Expedition to become clearer......"
Mr. Shen exhaled a breath of turbidity, and it seemed that his whole body was weak.
"I haven't figured it out yet."
He said as if he were talking to himself.
Zhuang Yong frowned slightly: "Why don't you understand, no matter whether the person you are looking for is His Majesty's own flesh and blood, it can't affect the fact that the prince is His Majesty's own flesh and blood." ”
Mr. Shen sat down in a chair, his face bloodless.
Zhuang Yong said: "The prince and the scholar Mu Zhaotong are very close, this is something that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know, Mu Zhaotong sent his son to the water division just to make his son's resume more beautiful?" If that's the case, Mu Zhaotong is too superficial, in the final analysis, he still wants to be a power-leaning government and opposition. ”
"Doesn't Your Majesty know?"
"What can be hidden from Your Majesty? It's just that His Majesty can't move anything for the time being. ”
"That's not impossible."
Mr. Shen looked at Zhuang Yong: "So, your house in Anyang County is fake, and even you are not safe!" ”
Zhuang Yong nodded: "Yes, even I am not safe." ”
Shen Leng, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head: "What about General Cen?" ”
"I'm here."
The screen in the study suddenly opened, and Cen Zheng walked out from behind the screen: "Since I know that it is not safe, of course I will not let myself be killed so easily, doing this bureau is that Your Majesty wants to see how many people want to get involved with the sailor, and how many people have shown their faces in advance." ”
Cen Zheng said lightly: "The reason why I don't hide it from the three of you is because the three of you are already in the bureau, until now, Your Majesty has trusted the Taoist, and Your Majesty is also optimistic about Shen Leng, as for the tea girl, she is naturally not an outsider." ”
Shen Leng let out a long sigh of relief, lowered his head and continued to be silent.
Cen Zheng looked at Zhuang Yong: "Can you say it all?" ”
Zhuang Yong nodded: "Shen Leng already has a communication box in his hand, so he can naturally say it." ”
Cen Zheng snorted: "Your Majesty really wants to know how many people will be in a hurry to submit the name certificate just after the news of the crown prince has been released, Shui Shi...... It's always on the cusp. ”()
