Chapter 281: Women

The sergeant who got the order ran out of Yikun Palace for less than two hundred steps, and met the commander of the Southern Army who was patrolling with cavalry, that is, the "general" that the captain in front of the Yikun Palace asked him to find.

"General! Checkmate! ”

There are few soldiers in the south, so the commander recognized this sergeant at a glance, and he strangled the war horse under his crotch with a sigh, and asked with a horse whip: "But in front of the gate of Yikun Palace?" What's the matter with finding Ben? ”

The sergeant turned over and jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground with a suit of armor, and bowed his hand: "General, the captain sent me to inquire, do the king of Yong and the queen have a military order to send the northern army to pick up the imperial concubine?" ”

The commander frowned and thought about it, and replied to him: "How could it be, even if there is, it should have been sent to me, how could the people of the Northern Army be involved in the affairs of the Forbidden City." ”

"But...... That Zheng Jingyun can hold the talisman of our Southern Army in his hand! ”

"Zheng Jingyun?"

The commander of the southern army furrowed his thick brows even tighter, and the deputy commander of the northern army, Zheng Jingyun, of course knew him, but what made him wonder was that how could King Yong let Zheng Jingyun take the imperial concubine with the military talisman?

"That's not right!"

The commander of the Southern Army was still a little smarter than the captain's nose, and hurriedly pointed with the horsewhip in his hand, and hurriedly ordered: "You go back now, pass on my military order, stop them for me, and I will go to the palace, and before I come back, none of them can be let go of me!" ”

"Yes!"

The sergeant also heard the severity of the commanding officer's words, and quickly turned on his horse, turned his horse's head, and left......

Although this sergeant and horse are fast enough, but when the commander of the military order is passed back to the Yikun Palace, and when the captain mobilizes people and horses to pursue along the direction that Liu Biao left, in addition to the sedan chair that was just seen outside the palace gate outside the palace wall, how can there be the shadow of the imperial concubine?

"Hurry, hurry! Tell the brethren at the city gate that the commander has an order, martial law! ”

Where can it be stopped?

Liu Biao's side had already followed the pre-agreed plan, and after turning the palace gate of Yikun Palace, he put on a robe and hat and felt wool cloak that had been prepared for them, and then rode a fast horse to the west gate of the city like a group of cavalry.

Except for when he was about to reach the gate of the Forbidden City, let the soldiers of the city defense stop him, but as long as the talisman in his hand was lit, anyone had to dodge a way.

In this way, the flying horse galloped out of the south gate of Wangjing City, until it reached the small birch forest twenty miles away from the city as agreed, and then slowly slowed down and gradually stopped.

Liu Biao had just taken off the mask that was stuffed on his face, and when he wanted to scold Zhu Qingyi, who had not seen anyone on the way, he saw a figure riding a fast horse in the distance, rushing in his direction, followed by a person dressed as a young general.

"Phew~"

Zhu Qingyi skillfully stopped the horse's hooves, turned over, and bowed deeply to the imperial concubine, and saluted: "Qingyi see Niang Niang Chitose!" ”

Sun must have been familiar with Zhu Qingyi for a long time, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked forward in two steps, looked at Liu Qingyi with a smile and said affectionately: "I knew that only you, a girl, could come up with such a good idea." ”

Zhu Qingyi also smiled, her fair face was amazing.

However, the expression on the face of Suo'er, who dismounted behind Sun, was not so good-looking, obviously smiling a little reluctantly, and it seemed that she didn't have too much affection for Liu Qingyi.

"That's not it, who has the mind of the bamboo girl, and almost trapped Lao Tzu in the city!" Of course, Liu Biao had a displeased tone, and looked at Zhu Qingyi, who also had a good face.

However, Zhu Qingyi smiled generously at his signature sweetness, and then bowed slightly, which was considered a loss.

"I'm sorry General Liu, I was originally going to talk to your mother in advance, but I didn't know that I met the commander of the Southern Army who was heading in the direction of Yikun Palace halfway, if I went straight as planned, we would have to give him a face, so I used a little trick and dragged him for a while."

"Humph!"

Liu Biao snorted coldly, obviously a little unappreciative, "In this way, I still have to thank Miss Bamboo for breaking the siege." ”

The imperial concubine Sun on the side nodded slightly towards Liu Biao as if she was playing a round, and said with a smile: "This General Liu, this palace can go out of the city smoothly this time, thanks to the general's wisdom and bravery, I will definitely not treat the general badly." ”

Facing the Sun family, Liu Biao's face instantly changed as if he was a different person, and he lowered his eyebrows and arched his hand: "Then there will be a lot of good words from Lao Niangniang in front of King De." ”

"With the help of the general, the blessing of my son." Sun's words are atmospheric enough, and he has the taste of winning the world for King De.

"Alright, it's not too early."

Zhu Qingyi pointed to a young general on the horse beside him, and said to Sun: "This is my father's general, he will take the route arranged by Niangniang to find us into Shanxi, I have already arranged everything along the way, Niangniang and go with confidence." ”

"Good!"

Sun nodded, then clasped Zhu Qingyi's hands again, and said with concern: "I know that you have always been thoughtful, but the people and things in this Wang Jing will not be simple, you and your father must be careful!" ”

After speaking, as if he was still unsatisfied, he pasted his face towards the root of Zhu Qingyi's ear, "In Xun'er's letter, I have been thinking about you, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, go back to Shanxi with your father, and then Xu Tuzhi is." ”

Sun's voice was very soft, but it still listened word for word into the ears of the lock behind him,

It may also be that Sun didn't intend to avoid the little maid she spoiled the most from the beginning, but looking at the blue and white expression on Suo'er's face, I'm afraid she didn't think so in her heart.

"Don't worry, Niangniang, Qingyi knows it." Zhu Qingyi just smiled faintly, and opened her mouth like this, as if she ...... It didn't have the kind of expression that Sun expected.

"Good! Let's say goodbye, cherish! ”

Sun took Suo'er towards Zhu Qingyi and Liu Biao on the side, and then turned around and rode on a horse, followed by the young general specially assigned to him by Zhu Qingyi, and spread out the four questions and headed towards the northwest of the bamboo forest.

Liu Biao looked at the palace dress of the imperial concubine and was forced by her to wear the taste of riding clothes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said curiously: "I really can't imagine that the concubine in this harem can actually ride a horse." ”

"Jiangmen Tiger Girl, do you need to say that?" Zhu Qingyi and Liu Biao looked at the three backs in the distance, and whispered this sentence in their mouths.

Distance

As the horse's hooves became faster and faster, the distance between Sun and Suo'er and Zhu Qingyi became farther and farther away, until they saw that the green shadows of the grove had disappeared on the horizon behind them, Suo'er frowned and turned back to Sun carefully: "Niangniang, this Zhu Qingyi is too ignorant of lifting, I think she is relying on us to use her and play a score with us!" ”

Sun Shi was not so angry, smiled faintly, and Ying Suo'er said: "True or fake, the family tree is right, we are begging others now, but as long as Xun'er can succeed, I can also make her real." ”

The Shaanxi army camp outside the city

Inside the tent, An Yi leaned back on the willow stool on the side, holding a letter folded into four pages in one hand and looking at it intently, and in the other hand he held a tea bowl-like thing, which contained half a bowl of burgundy liquid, which was constantly colliding with the smooth bowl wall with the palm of An Yi shaking back and forth.

In front of him stood a short man in a night suit, who was Hu Yuhua.

"Did he say anything else?" An Yi raised his eyes and asked,

"Uncle, there is no other explanation, but he feels that this matter is particularly important, so he wrote a handwritten letter and told him to hand it over to his uncle."

"Heh~"

An Yi chuckled at the corner of his mouth, looked back and forth with the letter in his hand, and said disdainfully: "He still writes letters by himself, and he can't write this engraved word even if he practices for another five years." It seems that he was quite unimpressed by the handwriting of the master.

After looking at it, An Yi turned his hand and handed the letter to Gao Ciyi, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Look at it, the one sent by Wang Jingli is really not a family that does not get together, people like Zhu Zongchen can really intervene anywhere." ”

Gao Ciyi took the letter and looked at it as carefully as An Yi, before frowning and questioning: "This Zhu Zongchen, is it the former Sichuan Chengxuan envoy who colluded with the Wugu Sect that you told me at the time?" ”

"It's not collusion."

An Yi turned his head and shook his finger at him, "This guy is the leader of the Five Grains Sect, I originally thought that after the Five Grains Sect was dealt with, I would go back to Chengdu and clean up with him, but it turned out that he was still one step too late, and he was really a cunning old fox." I didn't expect this to go to Wang Jingli, and the archway was erected so quickly. But ......"

An Yi still didn't understand a little in his heart, and smashed his mouth and asked: "But I really don't know how the character of Yizhu Zongchen could choose King De, who doesn't look as strong as King Yong?" And he is doing these headless things under the nose of King Yong, which is not like the mercenary Zhu Zongchen at the beginning? I don't know, I thought it was a retainer raised by King De. Could it be that your second brother has a relationship with the Zhu family? ”

Gao Ciyi tried hard to think about it, but she didn't get any useful information out of the sea of memory.

"My second brother has never married the princess so far, and I haven't heard of any relatives surnamed Zhu on Concubine Sun's side? But I know that when Zhu Yanhai, the current secretary of the ministry, was a Zuo Shilang before, he had a very close relationship with Li Jin and Xu Liang, and he was not the maternal uncle of Zhu Zongchen's daughter......".

As she spoke, Gao Ciyi felt that something was wrong, and said with a question mark on her face, as if she was questioning herself: "Yes, Xu Liang has long been a person of King Yong, and Li Jin I don't think it's much better now, why are the two relatives one with King Yong and the other with King De, where is this singing?" Bet on both ends? ”

An Yi also didn't understand when he heard it, but the difference with Gao Ciyi's concern was that how could this Zhu Zongchen have the same surname as his daughter's maternal uncle?

"It seems that this Zhu Zongchen passed away a long time ago as far as I know, could it be that he and his wife were both surnamed Zhu before? Coincidentally, they have the same surname? ”

Gao Ciyi's head shook like a rattle, "This matter, you have to ask the household department." ”

An Yi did hear Liu Siyi mention it before, saying that Zhu Zongchen had a son and a daughter in Wangjing, and at that time he himself said that it was no wonder that Zhu Zongchen wanted to go to Wangjing.

But now it seems that Zhu Zongchen's intentions are not limited to this, and he vaguely feels that he is going for the battle for the throne that has already come.

It's just that now with only this bit of information in his hand, he can't figure it out, so he simply waved his hand and didn't think about it, and instructed Hu Yuhua in front of him: "Yuhua, after returning to Beijing, take a good look at this bamboo mansion, I always feel that this bamboo sect will never be a loyal minister to others for no reason, there must be something hidden in it, and you also pay attention to what kind of bamboo Shangshu it is, and see if this family is selling the same pot of medicine." ”

"Yes!"

After giving the order, An Yi turned back to Gao Ciyi and said: "Anyway, now King De has obviously already started, and it seems that he has been prepared for a long time, it is really not easy for King Yong to sit firmly on this dragon chair, and, more importantly, ......"

An Yi leaned his face forward, stared at Gao Ciyi's eyes and said, "I don't know if you see it, it seems that this imperial brother of yours and the queen are not very harmonious." ”

Gao Ciyi nodded, "I really didn't expect this, I always thought that the two of them were one and the same. I know best my titular queen mother, she and the imperial concubine who fled from Wang Jing are the same kind of people, if you see them for the first time, that feeling of spring breeze will never think that the two of them can have any ill will towards you, but if you have seen those concubines who offended them, you will know that these two women have never known what it means to be merciful. ”

An Yi grinned and said, "Then it seems that this Concubine Hui in our camp is really a character, and she doesn't have the slightest temper to suppress these two true gods." ”

"Yes, it can be said that when this Concubine Hui was favored at that time, she did cover the sky with one hand in the harem, so I think we have to be careful with her."

An Yi heard what Gao Ciyi said, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You...... What do you mean? ”

Gao Ciyi looked at Shang Yiyi, "Do you know that the three of us met in the camp before the dinner that day, and she said anything to me after you left?" ”

"What did you say?"

Gao Ciyi attached it to An Yi's ear, and taught him what Liu Xuan asked him that day whether he believed it or not.

"I didn't react at the time, but now that I think about it, my back is cold."

After An Yi listened, he pondered for a while in his heart, and showed a deep smile, so that Gao Ciyi didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

"The women in the harem, sure enough, they are all fine, and they can't be negligent at all."
