Chapter 37 The world is turbulent, Jinling City Longtan Tiger's Den (5)
After Ge Sanniang said that she was going to inform Su Hongsleeve, Shi Xubai groaned alone in the private room, and his fingers were tapping on the small case intentionally or unintentionally, "When I came to Jinxiu Pavilion in the past, I had never met Hongsleeves when she was uncomfortable, Ge Sanniang never took the initiative to refuse to let Hongsleeves come to see her, although she had come less in the past two days, and she had never heard of any serious illness in Hongsleeves. ”
Shi Xubai's breathtaking eyes did not see the depth, "Fang Cai said that he was going to travel far tomorrow, and he was not a servant in life or death, but Ge Sanniang never asked what the reason was, and her appearance did not have much surprise, but it seemed that she had already known that she was going to go to Jiangbei with the army to fight." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Shi Xubai secretly pondered, "When the king attacked Chu before, there were scholars in the Splendid Pavilion who debated, deduced the battle situation in Chu and said that they had fought against Chu, and after entering the building, they also saw that there were scholars in the hall and debated on the Jiangbei war, but unlike before, none of the leading figures in the Splendid Pavilion came out to preside, and the red sleeves and a few Oiran, who liked this scene the most, did not show ......up."
At this time, looking around the Splendid Pavilion again, Shi Xubai felt more and more strange, as if this land of fireworks was gradually becoming unfathomable.
"Interesting and interesting......" Shi Xubai smiled at the corner of his mouth, thinking of this, he simply stood up, walked out of the private room and swayed around in the Splendid Pavilion, as if he wanted to see through this Splendid Pavilion.
From time to time, the afterglow in Shi Xu's white eyes caught a familiar figure in a corner of the splendid embroidery, walking hurriedly with his head bowed under the entourage.
Xu Jingtong.
"How can Childe act like a thief in such a hurry?" Shi Xubai wondered in his heart, and then he realized again, "Carrying the prime minister to the Splendid Pavilion is indeed not suitable for publicizing his whereabouts." Shi Xubai showed a slightly knowing smile, and then muttered again, "If the red sleeves are just seeing the son, Sanniang is indeed inconvenient to explain." ”
After taking two steps, Shi Xubai suddenly stopped, secretly said that something was wrong, and immediately raised his feet to chase Xu Jingtong.
......
In these days in Jinling, the fifth will receive countless news from the military intelligence department every day, under the comprehensive action order of the military intelligence department, everyone's actions are sparing no effort and even regardless of the consequences, so the fifth at this time has not a lot of news about Wu State's use of troops in Jianghuai, Xu Jingtong just said to Su Hongsleeve The strategy of using troops, after mutual confirmation with the known news, there are no major contradictions, and the fifth is relieved.
However, Ge Sanniang's words in a hurry made the fifth girl's delicate brows wrinkle slightly.
"Shi Xubai is gone?"
"Yes." If it is an ordinary situation, this is not a big deal, after all, Shi Xubai has always been unconventional, "Say goodbye." The humble official was about to deal with it, so he asked him to wait for a moment for the red sleeves, but found that the other person was no longer in the private room. ”
The fifth turned around and went back to the house, the lingering fragrance in the room was lingering, and there was still the smell of clouds and rain, the fifth was as if he hadn't heard it, Ge Sanniang didn't pay attention to Su Hong's sleeves who were clinging to the door frame, and waited for the fifth's instructions after walking in the door.
"What's the flaw?" The fifth seems to be asking Ge Sanniang, and it seems to be asking himself, through the understanding of these days, the fifth has basically determined that Shi Xubai is the role of the great wisdom and the demon, and he is the same person as Mo Li.
Without waiting for Ge Sanniang to speak, the fifth immediately ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on this person." ”
Ge Sanniang was about to go down to arrange, and someone from the Splendid Pavilion came to report, and Shi Xubai caught up with Xu Jingtong.
Ge Sanniang's face couldn't help but change greatly, "If you let Shi Xubai know about tonight's events, I'm afraid that things will be very bad!" ”
The fifth glanced at Ge Sanniang lightly, "What's the panic." What can Shi Xubai do if he knows, is it possible that Xu Jingtong can also tell Shi Xubai about the conversation with Red Sleeves? Divulging state secrets is not something to boast about. ”
Although Ge Sanniang didn't say anything anymore, the melancholy in her eyebrows couldn't linger, and she didn't go into it in depth, "Now that the news has arrived, we have to send it to Jiangbei as soon as possible and let His Highness know as soon as possible." Although the thief army in Jinling has not yet been dispatched, the soldiers and horses dispatched from Chu as the vanguard have arrived in Jianghuai, and this matter cannot be delayed. Other matters can be discussed later. ”
......
After Shi Xubai caught up with Xu Jingtong, he rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, although Xu Jingtong was inevitably apprehensive, but after Shi Xubai promised not to leak today's events, Xu Jingtong's tense expression gradually eased, Xu Zhihe is a masterpiece in the world, but it has always been not easy to be the son of a master, although Xu Jingtong seems to be elegant and romantic, in fact, the pressure on weekdays is not small.
Shi Xubai has unpredictable talents, it is really simple to dispel Xu Jingtong's vigilance, and he advertises himself uninhibitedly on weekdays, which can be called an unconventional scenery in Huainan Shilin.
Shi Xubai's side knock, where can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old son parry, it didn't take long for Xu Jingtong to be set up by Shi Xubai about today's matter, and learned that Su Hongsleeve had given his body to Xu Jingtong, Shi Xubai praised Xu Jingbai on his face, and he admired and envied him very much, but secretly thought in his heart: It is said that it is not wrong for Su Hongsleeve to entrust himself to Xu Jingtong, but now Xu Jingtong is still young, and Su Hongsleeve is also in the period of rising scenery, and his worth has not yet reached the peak. Although it is one of the four major flowers, after all, it is not the first of the four flowers, but there is no reason to take the initiative to do this so early.
Because of all kinds of doubts in the Splendid Pavilion today, Shi Xubai was not calm in his heart, after all, this was an extraordinary time, so he continued to set Xu Jingtong's words, "Red Sleeves entrusts herself to Son, and she is also accurate in her vision, Childe is unparalleled, and she will definitely not fail her, I don't know when Childe plans to admit her into the house?" ”
"At present, the war in Jianghuai is tight, and the personal affairs of the children can naturally only be put aside, and only after the Tang thief is driven away can this matter be done." Xu Jingtong was very comfortable being complimented by Shi Xubai, and his good impression of him increased greatly, and the two had the same smell, so they almost didn't call Shi Xubai a brother and brother during the conversation.
"Childe can wait, but I don't know if Red Sleeves can wait?" Shi Xubai asked leisurely.
"Red Sleeves knows the general situation, so he can naturally understand my difficulties." Xu Jingtong was quite proud, as if he was saying that his vision was not bad, seeing that Shi Xubai just sighed and did not agree, Xu Jingtong felt that he was looked down upon, and he couldn't help but brag, "Mr. Don't hide it, I have already told Red Sleeves about this matter, and it was she who took the initiative to ask to talk about her children's private affairs after the war." ”
Shi Xubai smiled gently, "The red sleeves are really strange women, but the son is about to go north, and I don't know how long it will take to return, you need to know the truth that things are people, red sleeves are sought after by 10,000 people in Jinling, if the son does not return for a long time, I am afraid that the red sleeves will also worry about themselves, if you let Xiao Xiaojie take the lead, I am afraid that it is not beautiful, and the son should tell her some of the ......bottom of the king's master who will win quickly."
"Mr. is really my confidant, don't hide it from Mr., I do ...... to her" At this point, Xu Jingtong suddenly stopped, although he was praised by Shi Xubai, he was not a heartless person, and immediately reacted, "I did promise her, and I will live up to her when I return...... As for the war in Jiangbei, how can you say it at will? ”
Where could Shi Xubai tolerate Xu Jingtong to change his words, he stared at Xu Jingtong suddenly, and his tone was instantly cold, "Gongzi has already told her about Wang Shi's strategy of using troops in Jiangbei, yes or no?" ”
Xu Jingtong was stunned, Shi Xu's white eyes were like wolves, staring at people's hearts.
Shi Xubai didn't need Xu Jingtong to admit it at all, just observe his reaction.
At this moment, someone came in front of him, and the people on the horse were familiar with Shi Xubai and Xu Jingtong, it was Zhou Zong, who had recently taken up the post of head of the Tsing Yi Yamen, and Xu Jingtong secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhou Zong, and the person who wanted to relieve the siege came.
However, Zhou Zong's words after rushing over made Xu Jingtong fall into an ice cellar, "Did the son go to the Splendid Pavilion?" ”
......
When transmitting critical information, it is mostly wrapped in wax pills, which can be hidden in the hair, but this is not a secret for the military intelligence department and the Tsing Yi Yamen, and the fifth is to make a foolish strategy, and several waves of people have been arranged to transmit military information, but now the city gate has long been closed, but it is necessary to wait until tomorrow after the city gate is opened before leaving the city.
After Xu Jingtong left, Su Hongsleeve sat on the ground in a daze, her request to Xu Jingtong was naturally known to Ge Sanniang, although she had the right to directly dispose of Su Hongsleeve, she did not cross Ge Sanniang's intention to ask for guilt, she handed over Su Hongsleeve to Ge Sanniang to deal with, and she continued to be busy with her own affairs.
Although the officials at the bottom may not know the entire layout, the news of all parties always has their own uses, and the fifth girl has to continue to dig deep things, such as who is the leader of the soldiers and horses of the Wu army, what is the transportation route of grain and grass, and where is the granary built, etc., are extremely valuable news.
Ge Sanniang whipped Su Hongsleeve all over the body in front of the fifth girl, and then asked people to take her down to watch and detain, from beginning to end Su Hongsleeve did not say a word and did not resist, the fifth girl ignored this, and did not mean to express her opinion, although she knew that Ge Sanniang let Su Hongsleeve eat more flesh and skin, the more she did it to show her and then wanted to save Su Hongsleeve's life, the fifth girl was cold-blooded and ruthless many times, but she was by no means a real murderer, Su Hongsleeve had completed her errand, and the credit was great, As for her attempt to defect from MIA, although the crime is unforgivable, the matter has not been accomplished after all, and at the moment, even if it is considered that the merits and demerits are offset, there is not no room for manoeuvre.
Not long after Ge Sanniang threw Su Hongsleeves out, Song Jiao, the fifth girl's henchman, entered the door with a calm face and said to the fifth girl: "There is a problem with a little girl in the building. ”
The fifth girl and Ge Sanniang, who had not yet left, raised their heads at the same time, the former was expressionless, and the latter was shocked, "Say it directly." ”
Song Jiao said in a deep voice: "It may be the eyeliner that the Tsing Yi Yamen planted in the Splendid Pavilion!" ”
"Bring it on!" The fifth girl's eyes sank.
......
Shi Xubai talked with Xu Jingtong all the way, when the two met Zhou Zong, it was not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Zong asked Xu Jingtong if he had been to the Splendid Pavilion, although Xu Jingtong deliberately did not admit it, but seeing Zhou Zong's face was clearly not an ordinary question, coupled with Shi Xubai, a person who "knows the roots" by his side, Xu Jingtong was silent for a while.
Zhou Zong is also a shrewd person, seeing Xu Jingtong's appearance, he didn't know what was going on, and now he took Shi Xubai and Xu Jingtong back to the house, on the way Shi Xubai asked Zhou Zong what happened, originally this kind of thing was not Shi Xubai's turn to ask, and Zhou Zong did not have the need to tell Shi Xubai about the facts, but considering that Shi Xubai is now deeply trusted by Xu Zhihe, his status is not better than before, so he said one more thing, "Jinxiu Pavilion may have the Central Plains' fine work." ”
Although this matter is not within the scope of his authority, he is not Xu Zhihe's confidant at the moment, and he is far from being able to participate in anything, but he has no intention of parting ways with Zhou Zong and Xu Jingtong, and followed him into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and followed him all the way to the East Study, that is, Shi Xubai has an alternative temperament, so he can look like he is incompatible.
Seeing Xu Zhihe in the east study, the other party's murderous eyes made Xu Jingtong's scalp tingle, and he could deal with Zhou Zong perfunctorily, but in front of Xu Zhihe's father, Xu Jingtong didn't have the courage at all, so Xu Zhihe just scolded him, Xu Jingtong's legs were weak, and he admitted that he went to the Splendid Pavilion.
"Bastard!" Xu Zhihe angrily filmed the small case, and was so disappointed in Xu Jingtong that Xu Jingtong was so frightened that Xu Jingtong hurriedly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake with a crying voice.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Zong saw that Xu Zhihe did not avoid Shi Xubai's intention, and knew that Xu Zhihe intended to let Shi Xubai contribute to this matter, so he explained to him in a low voice, "The Central Plains Military Intelligence Department, Dawu has the Tsing Yi Yamen, they are all good at going deep into the enemy territory to collect information and do some detailed work, the two have been fighting each other for many years, and they have penetrated each other today, and they are already intertwined, Luoyang has the Tsing Yi Yamen, and Jinling also has a military intelligence department. ”
"Qinglou is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is also a place where all kinds of characters make friends with each other and collude with each other, and it is also the place where all kinds of information transmission spread most frequently and the fastest, even if it is the secrets of the court that ordinary people can't hear, they are as common as wine and food in Qinglou. In order to monitor the various green buildings in Jinling City, the Tsing Yi Yamen has spent a lot of effort over the years, planting all kinds of chess pieces, and recently got the spies of the Splendid Pavilion to report, saying that the Splendid Pavilion has strange faces frequently appearing, and the main Ge Sanniang is very close, although the other party claims to be a distant relative of Ge Sanniang, but the chess pieces of the Tsing Yi Yamen found that with the other party's demeanor and demeanor, it does not look like an ordinary person. The current is an extraordinary period, so the Tsing Yi Yamen has investigated this Splendid Pavilion in depth and found many suspicious places, so the Tsing Yi Yamen has preliminarily determined that this Splendid Pavilion is very likely to be the stronghold of the Military Intelligence Department in Jinling City. ”
Listening to Zhou Zong's words, Shi Xubai ignored etiquette and slapped his thigh suddenly, "It's broken!" ”
......
After Song Jiao brought up the little guy who was suspected of being the eyeliner of the Tsing Yi Yamen, first of all, Ge Sanniang's face changed greatly, and it could be seen that she was very surprised by this incident, as expected, this little guy was either not noticeable, or he was quite trusted by Ge Sanniang.
At first, this little guy pretended to be innocent and was full of grievances about Song Jiao's torture, but since Song Jiao noticed that something was wrong with him, he would not have any evidence that he could show his hand, although in the end Song Jiao couldn't get anything out of his mouth, but the other party swallowed the medicine and died, and he had no intention of confirming that he was a pawn of the Tsing Yi Yamen.
Song Jiao threw away the corpse in her hand, got up and took two steps in front of Ge Sanniang, suddenly kicked Ge Sanniang in the lower abdomen, and then added fists and feet to Ge Sanniang who fell to the ground, "Don't say that there are traitors in your own family, and let the enemy thieves get in, it's ridiculous that you don't even know half a point, and now you are trapped in fire and water, what does the military intelligence department want you to do!" ”
In the battle of Jiangling that year, as the fifth girl's guard, Song Jiao was ineffective in guarding the fifth girl, so that she almost died in battle, although afterwards because of the fifth girl's intercession, Li Congjing did not behead them, but Song Jiao has already regarded it as a great humiliation in her life, since then the fifth week of the guard has never been out of the pool, this returned to Jinling, if she did not find the Tsing Yi Yamen in time, the consequences are not unimaginable, so she hated Ge Sanniang's dereliction of duty.
When Song Jiao drew a knife and was about to behead Ge Sanniang, the fifth girl stopped her, "Sanniang is not to blame for this matter, Jinling is the foundation of the Tsing Yi Yamen after all, how can this kind of incident be completely eradicated?" She stood up, her face cold, "Right now, the Splendid Pavilion is stunned, everyone should withdraw immediately!" ”
Ge Sanniang got up and knelt on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, "There are still a few hours before dawn, the fifth commander is ahead, and the old body is here to resist for a moment!" ”
The fifth glanced at her, frowned, and said, "I have already said that you are not guilty of any great fault, so you can't be guilty of dying generously, and the matter has not yet reached the point of killing yourself." ”
Ge Sanniang raised her head, her hair was a little scattered, and there were still black blood stains on her face, but her eyes were bright, "Although there are only a few people from the military intelligence department in the Jinxiu Pavilion who are lowly and red-sleeved, if we wait for all of them to leave, we will find nothing after the Tsing Yi Yamen arrives, and we will definitely close the city tomorrow, and the news will not be spread at that time. ”
The fifth girl's brow furrowed even tighter.
Ge Sanniang smiled sadly, "There is an invitation to the humble position." ”
The fifth nodded, "You say." ”
Ge Sanniang shed two lines of tears, "Please take the red sleeves and go together, if you can cross the river safely, don't treat her in the future...... She's just a child who doesn't know anything yet......"
The fifth girl bowed slightly, and left the room before her eyes turned red, "The Empire will remember your exploits and take care of your family!" ”
......
The matter is big, Shi Xubai can distinguish which is more important, so Xu Jingtong did those things in the Splendid Pavilion, he shook it out word for word, and people with a discerning eye know that if Wu Guo does not die, Xu Zhihe will definitely replace him in the future, which means that Xu Jingtong is likely to succeed to the throne as emperor in the future, and today Shi Xubai will shake out Xu Jingtong's leakage of war secrets, once Xu Jingtong takes the throne in the future, he will definitely not be able to please the good fruit to eat, but Shi Xubai said without hesitation, and his face was calm.
Xu Zhihe was furious, Zhou Zong was also pale, most of the Jianghuai military strategy formulated by Wu State has been implemented, that is to say, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are actually on the way, and some elite soldiers have been in place, if this information falls into the hands of Li Congjing, Li Congjing can wave his army to attack and concentrate his forces to deal a fatal blow, even if Xu Zhihe orders those troops to retreat at this time, whether those soldiers and horses can be withdrawn is between the two, 10,000 steps back and said, even if the Wu army does not suffer much loss, but the strategy of using troops Jianghuai is completely exposed, Li Congjing can also deal with it calmly.
"If the Splendid Pavilion is really a pawn of the Military Intelligence Department, and Su Hongsleeve is also a member of the Military Intelligence Department, the top priority is to intercept them before they leave the city, otherwise once the news is passed to Li Congjing, the big thing will be over!" Shi Xubai did not pause for a moment after shaking off Xu Jingtong's scandal, and immediately gave countermeasures.
"Order, blockade the whole city, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate without this warrant!" Xu Zhihe gave orders, although the city gate is closed now, but Jinling is not in wartime, if there are enough people and things, the city gate can still be opened, Xu Zhihe must put an end to this possibility, who can guarantee that the military intelligence department confiscated and bought a few important ministers, and there are no strong seals in their hands? "Zhou Lang, you mobilize the Tsing Yi Yamen and five hundred armor soldiers, immediately block Kangfu Fang, and surround the Splendid Pavilion!"
Zhou Zong took the order and left, Shi Xubai was not good to stay in the room longer, he was about to say goodbye and go out, but Xu Zhihe asked him to follow him, and the two went to Kangfufang together. As for Xu Jingtong, he was left in the east study, what kind of treatment he would face, Xu Zhihe didn't say a word, but Xu Jingtong's heart was cold at this time, and he knelt in the room and lost his soul.
......
The fifth class of people just came out of Kangfufang with their front feet, and the hundreds of armor soldiers brought by Zhou Zong arrived at the Jinxiu Pavilion with their back feet, although there was a curfew in Jinling City at night, and ordinary people could only walk around the workshop and were forbidden to wander on the street, but the fifth class of people were all extraordinary people, and it was not difficult to find a remote place to climb over the wall.
Under the city system, the government's control over the city is very large, and the isolated square areas constitute an almost closed space, which is extremely convenient to monitor, which is also the reason why the fifth does not choose to settle in the private house and runs to the Splendid Pavilion, the place with a large flow of people is the best place to hide, if not, I am afraid that these faces of them would have attracted the attention of the Tsing Yi Yamen.
Su Hongsleeve was originally beaten to death and refused to leave Ge Sanniang behind, which can be regarded as Ge Sanniang's foresight, and after a simple goodbye, she was slapped unconscious, and now she is being carried away.
The Qinhuai River passes through the city, Kangfufang is located on the Qinhuai River, located in the south of Jinling City, after the fifth class of people left Kangfufang, they did not choose to go to Yipinlou, but temporarily hid in a nearby house under the name of the military intelligence department, needless to say that Jinling will be under martial law tonight, and the patrol on the street will be very intensive, and the fifth person can not be too ostentatious to pass through the market.
There are Wuhou Pufang Districts on the street, once Xu Zhihe finds out that someone from the military intelligence department has escaped from the Splendid Pavilion, he will inevitably launch a carpet search, and it will be difficult for the fifth person not to be found at that time, and once his whereabouts are exposed, it will be difficult to get out.
Except for the sentry, everyone gathered in the room, and they all didn't say a word, whether Ge Sanniang could successfully deal with the Tsing Yi Yamen was related to everyone's net worth and whether the information could be sent, but now everyone really had no way of knowing the situation of the Splendid Pavilion.
