At the end of February of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang City, Luoyang Palace.

Due to the increasingly warm weather, coupled with the prosperity of the border customs, Li Zhizhi ordered him not to start driving and return to Chang'an Jingshi.

The order of the line, the world moved, and everyone heard it and discussed it.

In the city of Luoyang, in an alley in the West Market.

In the crowd, a man in white sat under the influence of a tea stall, drank two sips of tea, and then sat down, as if waiting for someone.

Originally, such a person, if he stayed in another city, or even changed places, it would be very eye-catching. But after the name of the eastern capital of Luoyang was decided, there were more people in the city. Among all kinds of people, he has become less conspicuous.

After all, he is still dressed as a Han person, and the appearance of a Han person - those red-haired, blue-eyed, and amazing-looking Hu monks are still walking all over the streets.

Besides, he didn't have to wait long...... Soon, a man dressed in a Silla suit approached and saluted him, and he dropped a few large coins and left with him, walking deeper into the alley.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that his every move was carefully watched by a young girl sitting in the store.

Then she looked up, nodded slightly, and saw another girl on the side of the street, dressed as a maid of the clan, saluting, turning and disappearing into the depths of the alley.

……

It's night.

Luoyang Palace.

Inside the Hall of Eternal Life.

Mei Niang looked at Minghe, who was busy counting things and preparing luggage with Qinghe, and turned her head for a while, looked at Suqin and said, "You mean...... That person did enter the Jiwang Garden? ”

"That's right. Ji Wang Beiyuan, although my little girls are not as good as the Yu sisters, but in the end they win a clever one, and they don't have much kung fu - such girls are everywhere in the entire Luoyang City now, so naturally they are not guarded. Su Qin picked up the tea bowl and said, "So, compared to taking people, they can't compare to Shenfengwei." But if it's better than asking for some news...... They are much better. ”

Mei Niang nodded and said, "So the secret agent, if he is not powerful, he needs to be vulgar." Okay, you're bothered. ”

Su Qin shook her head and said, "Sister, now it seems that there are indeed some cats in this Ji Wang Villa. How does my sister decide? ”

Mei Niang thought about it for a while, and then said slowly: "You will say...... Those people all entered the mansion in the guise of Silla merchants. ”

"Now that the Tang Silla Alliance is in the Alliance, it is natural to see such people everywhere." Su Qin said in a low voice: "And those who can dress up like this will naturally not be those Hu people with high noses and deep eye sockets, or even visitors from the country such as Daqin Dashi." Although there are many similarities between the appearance of the people of Dongying and our Tang Dynasty and even the people of Silla...... But after all, their stature is really not high compared to the people of our Tang Dynasty and Silla. Most of them are still belonging to Baekje or Goguryeo. ”

Mei Niang nodded and said in a low voice, "You're right. Most of it is Goguryeo. Although there are capable people in Baekje Kingdom, there is only one Gai Suwen who can make King Ji look at him. ”

Su Qin's face was slightly gloomy: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Ji is really crazy...... In order to fight for the throne that he couldn't hold for a long time, he actually let go of such thoughts. It's just hard for the sake of the Lord...... I think he has always been the most friendly with his brother, but now he has to face such fratricidal things. ”

"Sitting on this highest position is equivalent to sitting on the mountain of swords. Jiro is well aware of this...... Whether he can accept it or not, he knows it well. So from the beginning, he was also guarding against King Ji and King Yue. At present, he is afraid that he will not be unexpected. I just want to get and want to see it...... But it's two different things. So I've got you to help me. ”

Mei Niang turned her head to look at her: "Help me go and meet someone." ”

Su Qin was stunned, and immediately realized: "Princess Yue." ”

"At present, only through her can we get rid of their hearts and trends without disturbing the two kings of Ji Yue. What's more......" Mei Niang narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's more, there is King Han intervening in this matter...... I'm afraid it won't be a trivial matter. So you have to get it right. ”

Su Qin thought about it for a while, but said lightly: "Sister is worried, King Han has not seen any movement for a long time, and now he suddenly joins forces with the second king of Ji Yue, I am afraid that there are other thoughts in it?" ”

"If it's just something else, I'm not afraid." Mei Niang shook her head slowly and said softly: "The more we grasp his temperament, the better we can hold his direction." But if he is mad, he has to fight to the death...... Instead, we have to be very careful. ”

Su Qin was stunned again: "Sister means that King Han has been forced to be anxious?" That King Han? But how come? ”

"Absolutely. At this year's Haenai Pilgrimage, Jiro first allied with Silla and set the future trend of Samhan; broke with Dongying again, and won the battle in the East China Sea; then took advantage of the King of Qiuci to take the country of Qiuci, the defeat of Ashina Helu was a foregone conclusion, and the Anxi Mansion had returned to the domain of the Tang Dynasty; In the end, he also incorporated Shenyanwei and gained the strongest combat power in the Northern Desert...... If you do the math, there is Silla as an alliance in the east, and the situation of the three Koreas has been decided; In the south, Dongying will be defeated, and the pacification of the sea frontier is just around the corner; In the west, Qiuci and other countries returned, and the Turks had become successful and defeated; There is a big swallow in the north, and there is no opponent in the northern desert......"

Mei Niang paused slightly, and then said softly: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of Zhilang now...... The ministers of the court and the central government, led by the eldest grandson Wuji, are again fearful of the day...... Even those children of the clan, who had pretended to be noble in the first emperor, now have to convince themselves to say to His Majesty Shengde when they see Jiro...... Do you think this is a good thing for King Han, who is bent on ascending to the throne of God as a Ming Lord, accomplishing eternal deeds, and becoming another emperor? ”

Su Qin immediately understood: "Of course not...... So, he's going to try to break the game? ”

"He can't break it." Mei Niang shook her head and said, "When Jin Chunqiu refused to see him, he already knew that he couldn't break this game." Jiro's game has been completed. He couldn't break it. Therefore, now he has no choice but to fight to the death. ”

"He's going to ...... Forcibly ......" Su Qin immediately gasped: "Xingbing? ”

"No, he won't." Mei Niang shook her head and said: "As far as King Han is concerned, let him leave a name in the annals of history who rebelled and ascended the throne as an emperor, then he would rather not be this emperor." Otherwise, he would have raised an army ten years ago. ”

"But he also secretly deployed troops before......"

"Raising an army can be a rebellion, but it can also be a crusade. It's just one reason. ”

"What does my sister mean...... King Han's original plan was to make the Lord a faint king who was spurned by the people of the world, and then make a crusade to ascend to the throne of God in the name of righteousness? ”

"That's right."

"Now ......"

"Raising an army can be a rebellion, a crusade, or a rebellion. Since you can't crusade against the faint king, then it's okay to exterminate the rebels. In fact, this is probably the easiest way for King Han to achieve his wishes. ”

Mei Niang's words made Su Qin stunned again, and then quickly said: "It turns out that he wants to use the second king of Ji Yue to raise a rebel army, and after the lord and the two brothers of Ji Yue fight to the death, he will take the opportunity to take advantage of the fisherman?" So despicable. ”

"Despicable or noble, as long as he is a virtuous king in the eyes of the world, he will be happy. Therefore, the second king of Kikoshi, like Jiro, is just a stepping stone on the road to his own wishes, and all of them are what he wants. Mei Niang said quietly: "It's just that Jiro and his three brothers are all going to die at his hands, but there is also a difference between having to die and being able to save a life." ”

Su Qin thought about it for a while, and then understood what Mei Niang meant: "The lord is bound to die, and he is bound to die before the second king of Ji Yue." ”

"That's right."

"But whether it is King Ji or King Yue, they are not fools. Naturally, you can think of these, and you definitely won't take the initiative. Therefore, he, the king of Han, will either come up with some good plan to force them to assassinate the lord, or ......"

Su Qin's eyes sank: "Either do it for them!" ”

Mei Niang nodded, her eyes showing coldness: "And now that the second king of Ji Yue is watching with Concubine Yan and Concubine Wei watching, and the situation has not yet reached the point where they have to move, so naturally they will not eat King Han's set." ”

"So the only way for King Han to go is to do it for them!" Su Qin took a deep breath, looked at Brother Qingming who was packing up his things, and said in a low voice: "And right now, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”

"Luoyang to Chang'an, a journey of thousands of miles. No matter how cautious he is, if he wants to find an opportunity, it is not completely out of nowhere. But in this way, the risk he took was much greater...... After all, if he fails to assassinate, his true colors will be revealed to the world...... Regardless of whether his life will be saved, just say that his hard work in the court over the years will be ruined. So this time, he did his best. ”

"Those beans ......"

"Imperial Physician Qin has come to see it, but there is nothing inside, and it doesn't look like it once contained anything highly poisonous—those red dots look like ordinary cinnabar. It seems that these hollow beans were once filled with cinnabar, but why the cinnabar was poured out and why these things were retained, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning. ”

"Su Qin once heard the German Award say that at present, outside the Han Wangfu**, up and down, they are all stared at by the shadow guards around the lord. Later, a Murong ...... was added Mr. Murong Zheng had the intention to clean him up, and secretly replaced several of the guards around him with his own disciple Yi Rong, and he was even more difficult to move. So now it is even more difficult for him to deliver the message. Could it be that these beans are used to deliver messages? ”

"I think the same as you do. Most of these beans were set up by him to secretly deliver the message. But what does this news mean...... I can't figure it out right now. After all, King Han has always done things without leakage. Over the years, if it weren't for the meticulous investigation and control of Jiro, Uncle Yuan and others, I am afraid that I would not know how many opportunities he has found. ”

Mei Niang shook her head, but sighed: "So right now, not only to find Princess Yue, but also to find some more ways to find some rumors from his mouth." ”

Su Qin shook her head and said, "Where is it so easy?" Since the Shen Shu incident, he has been like a frightened bird, not even the beloved concubines in Pingsuri, and only lives alone in the secret room every night...... In addition, after the incident with Xue Qianyi, he made an excuse for self-reflection, and never went out for half a step, and on the bright side, he didn't say much to the two except for a close deaf and dumb old waiter...... In addition, we still don't know what else he has in secret...... It's hard. ”

Mei Niang condensed and said: "It's difficult, and you have to think about it, otherwise it's really ...... What's wrong? ”

Halfway through her words, she saw Yuming come in with a calm face and salute herself, so she was a little surprised: "Why do you look like this?" ”

"Mother." Yuming hesitated for a moment, and finally said lightly: "Niangniang, Yuming has a matter, and I ask Niangniang for permission." ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing her so solemn look, Mei Niang was also curious for a while, so she said, "Let's hear it." ”

"This matter is a private matter, and Yuming shouldn't have come to beg Niangniang. Can...... But Yuming had an appointment with that Silla Jin Dejun in advance, and this time he invited him to fight, and Yuming really couldn't help but go. ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, as you said, when you were in Silla, you had a clear agreement. When you have free time, you have to compete with each other. ”

"It's about the reputation of the mother, I have to beat him to admit it......" Yuming remembered the dead-eyed and uninteresting, and still couldn't help gritting his teeth and hating: "In this battle, Yuming will do his best to beat himself to the front of the mother to kneel down and kowtow and admit defeat!" ”

"What does this have to do with Hongu? Even if he doesn't like this palace, it doesn't matter. ”

"He doesn't like it! I don't look down on my mother at all! What do you say that Niangniang Pingsuri always likes to meddle in things that only men should do, and what is the difference between inside and outside, the Lord spoils Niangniang too much...... I don't ......" The more Yuming thought about it, the more angry he became, and he even blushed with anger.

Su Qin looked interesting, but she didn't say anything, but Mei Niang nodded and smiled: "Okay, you want to go, and you can do it, just wait for him to come to Chang'an, and you can summon him to Chang'an, in front of the palace, you will compete in it, okay?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness. But...... I'm afraid that he won't be able to enter Chang'an. ”

"Why?"

"According to what he said in his war book, at the end of next month, he will be stationed at his border with Jin Yuxin, the general of his country. It's said that it's gone this time, but I'm afraid it will be a few years. And I don't know life and death, which is why I am so eager to end the Old Testament. ”

Mei Niang was stunned when she heard this: "He said to follow Jin Yuxin?" ”

"Yes."

"Follow Jin Yuxin, and still say that life and death don't know for a few years?"

"Yes."

"That's amazing...... My Datang Silla Alliance is like this, the offensive is undecided, and I follow a figure like Kim Yuxin, how can he be so eager and think that he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead? ”

"This ...... Yuming heard him say that if he wants to attack Goguryeo in the future, the first person he will face is Goguryeo's general Dou Fanglou and his 30,000 elite soldiers - this is also the most complacent elite soldier of Quangai Suwen, whose combat power is strong, and it is also known by many people in our Tang Kingdom. In addition, the intention of the lord of Silla is to break Baekje first and then set Goguryeo, and the military power that can be given to them is not much, in fact, it is to let them contain the strongest combat power of Goguryeo at the lowest cost, so he will say that he doesn't know if he can ...... this time."

"Wait, what did you just say? What was the general of Goguryeo called? Mei Niang suddenly interrupted her and raised her voice to ask.

Yuming was stunned and blinked: "Niangniang......"

"You just said, what is the name of the Goguryeo general?!"

"Bean...... Fang Lou ......"

Mei Niang's face changed greatly, she turned her head to look at Su Qin, who was still a little dazed, and said eagerly: "Su Qin, you have a very good memory, and you also remember the map of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries, yes or no?" ”

"Yes...... Sister? ”

"In the border city of Goguryeo, I remember that there is a place called Chifeng Town, right?"

As soon as Mei Niang's words came out, Su Qin first nodded, and then her face changed greatly: "...... Sister! Be...... It's ......"

"Lou Dou guards cinnabar, led by Chifeng Town! Han Wang...... Goguryeo ...... There must be something to do with this! Pass on the clothes! Hongu is going to see Jiro immediately! Fast! ”
