Chapter 484: Moire
Qiu Yue didn't speak again, nor did she question again.
He had a feeling that the more he came into contact with the Zhu family, the more unfathomable the unknown. Although the women of the Zhu family seem to be weak, they are surprisingly resilient and dense. As long as the enemy has the slightest flaw, they will immediately look at it.
As an empress, if she wants to control the huge blue sea country, she really needs some extraordinary means.
Speaking of which, the serpentine ship is a thing of his Qiuyue clan, but it can be used by Zhu Zhitong to set up a plan, he really doesn't know what kind of plan he can set up with the serpentine ship that he already knows well.
But he didn't plan to ask any further, and Zhu Zhitong obviously didn't tell anyone about his plans, including Master Su.
Su Xiaochen still sat on the side and pondered, listening to the news that the Daiyan ship was blown up, he was a little relieved. He always felt that Emperor Wen died in Jiang's heart like this, which made people feel a little unbelievable. Maybe it's because after knowing that he is Mu Yun's family, he feels that this side of foresight should be no less than Wen Lan.
But then again, if it weren't for Xiao Yun secretly poking and prodding the serpentine ship to Wen Lan, Emperor Wen should not have suffered this loss. Moreover, although Emperor Wen has a lot of scheming, when it comes to leading troops to fight, I am afraid that he still owes the fire.
Zhu Zhitong saw that he was silent in thought, knowing that he was a little sad, so he deliberately opened the topic and said: "Fortunately, Huo Qinglin's 50,000 horses are still alive, and the Cangwu Kingdom will not be defeated." It's just that I don't understand, Huo Qinglin is close to the south bank, and he is not too far away from Emperor Wen, and it is impossible to be completely unaware, why didn't he go north to help? ”
Su Xiaochen sighed: "The plan to sneak attack Dongdu after the Hanjiang River is frozen is a plan set up by Uncle You, but Senior Brother Huo is half-understood after all. Since the Hanjiang River is frozen, there must be a day when the ice will disappear. At this time, if the army is stationed in the south, it will be impossible to go north in case it wants to. ”
"Why?"
"Just look at Ah Kui, after the ice is gone, there are countless broken ice in the river, and the size is different. A person as skilled as Ah Kui can't dodge yet, let alone those large warships under Senior Brother Huo's command. When the ice floes first melt, they are as hard as iron and can leave a lot of wounds when they hit the side of the ship, even if they are not chiseled. To send the broken warship to the front line to rescue, it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river------ and it is difficult to protect himself. ”
Zhu Zhitong suddenly realized, "So at that time, you persuaded Huo Qinglin to go to the south bank of Binzhou to station!" It turned out that I had expected that there would be today. ”
Su Xiaochen smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Huo has always been loyal to the Cangwu Li family, since I persuaded him to retreat from the intention of going east, he will definitely take a step back and think about keeping Emperor Wen." Even if I don't persuade him, most likely he will still garrison the south bank of Binzhou. I just didn't say it, and now it seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is providential...... At this moment, Senior Brother Huo must be full of remorse, watching the river mixed with broken ice rushing southward and unable to save it. However, as you said, Cangwu still has an army of 50,000, and it can finally maintain the general trend. But there's a premise for all of this......"
Saying that, Su Xiaochen looked at Zhu Zhitong very seriously and said, "That is to defeat Wen Lan!" At present, the war spirit of the Cangwu Kingdom has disappeared, and it must be when Wen Lan wants to take the Wanhua Imperial Capital in one go, once the Imulan army crosses the Hanjiang River and enters Binzhou, the cavalry of the blood clan with Qi Lie will definitely sweep the entire Cangwu Kingdom, and the situation will be out of control at that time. So we must intercept him on the Hanjiang River! ”
"Da Su, you and I think the same. When it comes to water warfare, my Bihai Kingdom has never been timid, and the support of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion has also arrived one after another, and Liu Mingyan can say that everything will be in order in two days. ”
Qiu Yue heard it on the side, and also leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, in this battle, please let my Liuxia people join the battle." Although there are not many serpentine ships left, they can at least intercept enemy ships in front. Governor Liu and I have discussed the formation of the Serpentine and the Kuntou to fight together, which can complement the weak and make the ship formation much more powerful! ”
"Qiu Yuejun, you and Liu Mingyan fought together, I naturally can trust it. But before that, there is a very important task that you must take over. ”
Qiu Yue was stunned: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”
Zhu Zhitong beckoned to him and whispered to him.
Qiu Yue listened very seriously, but after all, it was the first time that Zhu Zhitong was so close to her, she only felt that her ears were like an orchid, and she didn't feel that her face was red, her heart was beating wildly, and she was afraid that Zhu Zhitong would look at her, so she hurriedly lowered her head and responded: "I understand what Your Majesty means, and I will go north with someone tonight." In any case, this is not only a national feud between Bihai and Imuran, but also a personal feud between my Luxia clan, and it is precisely for me to make a decision. ”
As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Master Su and went down to the cabin with the eagle tail.
Su Xiaochen was a little curious and asked, "What did you say to make him so solemnly ordered?" ”
"Alas...... He has twelve branches of the Liuxia royal family, and they have a lot of branches and branches with each other. I hope that after this thing is done, his Qiuyue clan can also correct the status of the Liuxia royal family. ”
Su Xiaochen didn't know about the Liuxia Kingdom, and he didn't know that the Qiuyue clan still had the bloodline of the Zhu family, and he was always a little melancholy when he saw Zhu Zhitong talking about the Liuxia Kingdom, and he was puzzled for a while.
However, there was another thing in his heart, so he put it aside and said, "Is Liu Mingyan with Aunt Yinquan and Uncle Sato now?" ”
"Well, Liu Mingyan said that a few days ago, she couldn't spare time to rectify military affairs, but today she was finally free, so she went to visit. I know you're still worried about your Uncle Saku's illness, and if you want to visit too, I'll ask Qiuyue to send a boat to send you over, okay? ”
Su Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed: "That's it, the situation is also turbulent right now, it's better to wait." In addition to Wen Lan's troubles, it's not too late to report the good news. ”
As soon as the words fell, an eagle roared in the air.
When Su Xiaochen heard this, his face was overjoyed.
"It's Kitty Hawk back."
Zhu Zhitong said with a smile: "It's all grown so big, where is it small." But your eagle is also magical, and you can find your traces across such a big river. ”
"My aunt said that as long as you raise it with your heart, you will be like this after a long time." Su Xiaochen said, stretched out his right arm and greeted him in the air, and after a while, an eagle was already standing on his arm.
Zhu Zhitong heard that he still called Hunying his aunt, and thought to himself, although he knew his life experience and was not an aunt and nephew with Hunying, he was still a little attached to it.
Here, Su Xiaochen untied a small purse-like cloth bag from the eagle's feet, and when he opened it, the crystal clear eagle spirit jade was gorgeous, and there were as many as seven or eight of them.
"This aunt of yours, what do you always do with these little stones?"
"Actually, I don't know, every time I ask her, she always says that she will know when the time comes."
"You said she told you to put the stone around your waist, do you feel any difference?"
Su Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "I can't say it in detail, but I seem to feel that my ears and eyes are much more sensitive than before." In the past, when the eaglet called me, I had to look around for a long time to see it. Now you can often see clearly as soon as you look up. In addition, when I go to bed at night, if it rains, I feel that the rain is noisy, and the sound is in my ears, and it is difficult to sleep. It's not as unheard as it used to be. ”
"And such things...... There is something magical about the Eagle Clan of Imulan. Zhu Zhitong laughed when she heard this, "If that's the case, you can hear clearly and see far, I can discern the subtleties, if we are together, I'm afraid that nothing in this world can hide from our eyes." Hahaha. ”
Zhu Zhitong saw that Su Xiaochen didn't seem to hear what she said, so she was stunned and asked:
"What's wrong with you? Since your aunt sent back the Eagle Spirit Jade to you, then she should have read your letter. Are you worried that she won't help you? ”
Su Xiaochen shook his head and said: "She won't help me, I just know that she will definitely help me, so I feel a little unhappy." ”
"What does that mean?"
"In that letter, I begged her to help and show affection, hoping that she would see it for the sake of my aunt and nephew. But I knew that I was not related to her by blood, but I didn't break it, and I was so ashamed of it. When I see her again in the future, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed. And it is the same for her to go to the eldest princess Qi Chu to help me together, I knew that the eldest princess and the lord of Chakdo had not yet ended, so I wrote a letter to stir her into the situation. In fact, don't say that the lord of Chakdo is not my father, even if it is, I shouldn't use this old relationship to involve her. ”
Zhu Zhitong gently stroked Su Xiaochen's face and said, "Da Su, don't you often say that Uncle You teaches you to have a clear conscience?" Since you sent a letter to your aunt for the sake of the overall situation, why should you blame yourself like this? What's more, whether it is the Eagle Clan or the Blood Clan, they have long hated Wen Lan, and it is not a good thing to be able to take advantage of the situation to get rid of Wen Lan's control. ”
Su Xiaochen let out a long breath and said, "That's what I said, but I always feel a little uneasy. But if you can comfort me like this, I do feel much better. ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the little cloth bag into his bosom.
Zhu Zhitong suddenly stared at the cloth bag and said, "Slow! ”
Su Xiaochen didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhu Zhitong pointed intently at the cloth bag and said, "You take a closer look at this cloth bag with me." ”
Su Xiaochen was a little inexplicable, but he still handed it over.
Zhu Zhitong looked at the sun for a while, and said strangely: "This cloud pattern...... I've seen it. ”
Su Xiaochen looked at the old yellowed pattern she pointed to, and it was indeed a moire, and said with a sigh: "I have also seen this moire." Xiaoxiao, first of all, where did you see it? ”
"At Aunt Yinquan's place, once I went to visit her, she was embroidering a purse, saying that it was embroidered for Master Zuo. I saw that this moire was very chic and asked, Aunt Yinquan said that this was the moire in the Taishi's mansion in the past. Da Su, where did you see it? ”
"I'm ...... Uncle You's body. Could it be that Aunt Yinquan embroidered it too? ”
Zhu Zhitong shook her head and said, "My aunt said that whenever a bride enters the house, she must first learn to embroider moire. This moire was taught to her by Li Taijun himself. This old moire has been looking like it has been many years, and it is possible to say that it was embroidered by Li Taijun. ”
"But whether it is embroidered by Aunt Yinquan or Li Taijun, it will not be transferred to the hands of Aunt Imuran Eagle Clan."
When they asked, they both froze.
"Why don't you go back and take this cloth bag to Aunt Yinquan to take a look, maybe you can know some clues?"
Su Xiaochen suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
