Chapter 33: Changes in Henan
Yun Jiang gently broke away from Nan Qiao and greeted Yuwentai, careful not to see the road clearly in the dark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yuwentai stopped.
"Lord Lang is back?" Yun Jiang didn't make a fuss, didn't chatter, only asked softly. At the same time, I want to give a gift.
Yu Wentai didn't speak, and reached out to support her.
Nan Qiao and the others also hurriedly came over and saluted.
Yu Wentai walked inside with Yun Jiang.
At this time, the Taoist girl had already taken Miotu to sleep in the wing.
Nan Qiao and the others followed in to serve Lord Lang's wide clothes.
Yu Wentai didn't speak, although he couldn't tell what he was thinking on the surface, Yun Jiang could feel that he must be extremely tired today.
By the time Nan Qiao and the others had withdrawn, leaving only Yuwentai and Yun Jiang alone, Yuwentai had already leaned on the big bed and fell asleep.
Yun Jiang saw that he had already checked and cleaned up, walked over, and sat down on the edge of the couch gently. didn't speak, looking at Yu Wentai, who closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. I can't tell where the Lord Lang is different from before. Although he didn't see old age, he felt that he was in a pale state of mind.
"It's dark outside, what are you doing out there?" Yu Wentai closed his eyes and suddenly said unhurriedly. He could naturally feel Yun Jiang sitting beside him at this time.
Yun Jiang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he realized that he meant that she went out to greet him just now. It turned out that he still cared about her, afraid that it would be dark and the road would be muddy and slippery after rain, Yun Jiang's heart warmed up. "The husband has not returned for a long time, and the concubine is very worried." Yun Jiang only responded to him softly, sitting motionless on the edge of the couch.
Yu Wentai slowly opened his eyes. Although his eyes were still bright, Yun Jiang felt that he was haggard.
"It's a very tired day." Yu Wentai suddenly sat up straight and approached Yun Jiang, as if he had a lot to say to her.
Yun Jiang looked at his dark and big eyes, and leaned closer, without interrupting him, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of expectation.
Yuwentai's eyes wandered over her cheeks, and his eyes became gentle. But at this moment, he swallowed back all the words he wanted to say. The queen died, the emperor was suspicious, the prince was born, the prince turned his face, the war between the two Wei was imminent, there was no news in Henan for a long time, the situation was unclear, and the generals of the Zhu State had their own thoughts...... Will he be able to sustain this fragmented and tangled society? He would love someone to say these things, but that person shouldn't be Yun Jiang.
Yun Jiang can be the closest and most trusted person in Yuwentai's heart, but he is not the person he can speak freely.
"If things are slow, you must not push yourself too much." Yun Jiang seemed to know what he was going to say to her, and although he was speechless, he still comforted him softly.
Yu Wentai's eyes were staring at her.
Although Yun Jiang doesn't know what the situation is now, he must also be entangled in trivial matters, where is the society of a country not supported by him alone? Will there be less in between? She looked at it coldly from the side, except for the hussar general Zhao Gui and the cavalry general Yu Jin who was ordered to go east, who could really be with Yuwentai?
Yuwentai only had her words, and he was already ironing in his heart. There was no need to ask or talk between the two of them, she could already understand his state of mind so well. Yuwentai's heart will only become soft at this time.
He let out a long sigh, moved his body over, hugged Yun Jiang's waist, and whispered in her ear, "Qing doesn't have to worry about the black otter so much, as long as you take care of the little man in your belly so that the black otter is not distracted by this." His tone was noticeably lighter than it had been before.
Yun Jiang was even more worried. Yuwentai always said that she was Xiaolang in her womb, which shows the depth of Panzi. But such a thing is providential, and no one can decide. What if it wasn't Xiaolang? Of course, Yun Jiang would not argue with him for this kind of thing at this time, but buried himself deep in his heart. It's rare to see him so gentle, and he snuggles into his arms.
Before the two of them could be quiet for a moment, they heard heavy footsteps outside. Someone shouted "Prime Minister".
At first, Yu Wentai didn't hear it, but his lips and tongue were connected between Yun Jiang's teeth. Yun Jiang was suddenly awakened in confusion. Frightened, she hurriedly pushed Yuwentai away, and at this time, the slave maid had already opened the door and came in, not daring to look at Lord Lang and Yun Ji, and walked closer.
This slave and maid are smart and clever, and without waiting for Lord Lang to ask, she quickly knelt down and replied, "General Hu has an emergency army to report back to Lord Lang." ”
"Hurry him in." Yu Wentai seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and let go of Yun Jiang who had already gotten off the big bed, completely brushing off the tenderness and sweetness just now.
"Uncle!" Yuwen Hu has already come in, and the silk book in his hand has not yet been handed over, "General Che Cai has captured Baigu, Gao Zhongmi occupies the Tiger Prison and then to the west, and has already converged with General Yu Sijing, just waiting to capture Luoyang." ”
There has been no news for several days, and I don't know what the situation in Henan is, which is what Yuwentai is most worried about. Gao Zhongmi's betrayal happened suddenly, although he also felt that there might be fraud, but he felt that the opportunity should not be missed. Yuwentai wants to take this opportunity to wash away the shame of the river bridge three years ago, once there is an opportunity, if it doesn't work, he will naturally be depressed.
Yu Jin's capture of Baigu was equivalent to the first nail planted by the Western Wei army in the hinterland of Henan. If Gao Zhongmi's forces are added, the Western Wei army will have a lot to do in Henan. Yu Wentai was naturally excited at this time, and the gloom of the days and the depression in the palace today were all swept away.
Yuwentai ordered to pass the general of the pillar country into the palace, and the two ceremonial halls discussed politics. Looking at his back with a hundred times more energy, Yun Jiang could hardly believe that all his fatigue just now had dissipated.
It's late at night, and it's time for all things to fall silent. Almost everyone in the general's mansion in Yecheng was asleep, and when Liu Taozhi, a cangtou slave, received the military report and hurried to the back house, no one noticed him.
A strong knock sounded at the door of the house where the princess Yuan Zhonghua lived, and the slave maid who was awakened came to open the door with sleepy eyes. What the slave didn't expect was that when the courtyard door opened, Liu Taozhi, who stepped in, grabbed her by the collar and shouted, "Hurry up and wake up the prince, there is a military report from Henan!" ”
The slave was so frightened by this sudden attack that she cried out in a moment, and even instantly thought that some bandits had broken into the General's Mansion. When he heard Liu Taozhi's words clearly and saw his person clearly, he understood what was happening, and he trembled so much that he couldn't speak, so he only nodded.
Liu Taozhi saw that she understood, and then let go of her hand. The slave turned around and hurried in.
In an instant, the slaves and maids looked flustered and hurried.
Liu Taozhi didn't really dare to break in, just waited anxiously in the yard.
When the princess Yuan Zhonghua opened her eyes when she heard the sound outside, Gao Cheng beside her had already woken up from the sound of Aji's call. Hearing the words "Henan Military News", Gao Cheng almost jumped up. Ah Jiao hooked up the bed tent, Gao Cheng got up and went straight outside, while ordering someone to call Liu Taozhi to come in and reply.
Yuan Zhonghua also got up from the couch, but she didn't go out with her.
When Liu Taozhi came in, he saw Gao Cheng pacing in the room in his middle coat, and as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening, he greeted Liu Taozhi.
"General, Xikou Yujin has conquered Baigu. After Gao Zhongmi occupied the Tiger Prison, he joined Yu Jin to the west, and Luoyang was in danger. Liu Taozhi hurriedly finished speaking and handed over the silk book.
Gao Cheng took the silk book and hurriedly read the light of the blue glaze lamp brought by the slave maid, and before he could raise his head, he ordered, "Take the map!" He already felt bad in his heart, but he didn't want to be discouraged and wanted to think about it more carefully.
This is Yuan Zhonghua's house, where will there be a map? The slave couldn't go down, and Liu Taozhi couldn't help it, so she would immediately find Yutu at this time.
Gao Cheng himself reflected, and instructed Liu Taozhi to quickly pass Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu and others to Dongbaitang, and then he went back to the inner bed to get dressed.
Liu Taozhi took the order and left, and Gao Cheng entered the inner bed. By this time, his mind was already in turmoil. I thought that Gao Zitong was in Xuan, and Hou Jing was also stationed in Yuzhou, so there would be no major incidents. I didn't expect Yu Wentai to dare to take risks without scruples, so he really ordered Yu to lead the army straight in. The heavy land of Baigu has fallen into the hands of Xikou, and Gao Zhongmi's rebellion is actually equivalent to the tiger prison land has also fallen into the hands of Xikou.
If the Western Wei army is full of strength and goes straight to Luoyang, then not to mention Henan, the Henan states will definitely be attached to the wind again, and when they fight again, the Yuwen black otter has already occupied a favorable terrain and increased its strength. Gao Cheng thought of this, how could he not be in a hurry?
When he entered the inner bed, he saw Yuan Zhonghua standing in front of him, and smiled absentmindedly, "Disturb Your Highness...... he went to get his clothes himself.
Yuan Zhonghua had heard the words of Liu Taozhi outside just now, and knew that Gao Cheng was going to Dongbai Hall at this time, so she walked up worriedly and called "Husband......
"Your Highness, don't worry......" Gao Cheng cut off her words, hugged her in his arms, and immediately let her go, and then went to pick up his robe.
Gao Cheng remembered as soon as he entered Dongbai Hall. He had asked Li Changyi to write letters to her husband, Gao Zhongmi. The epistle was written, and he read it at the time. Li Changyi's letter was written very simply and clearly, and the letter stated that the general was not to blame in the past, and she was safe and sound, and asked Gao Zhongmi to return to Yecheng as soon as possible.
Gao Cheng didn't care at that time, because he didn't pin all his hopes on Li Changyi at all. It's just that since he has this hostage in his hand, he just uses it by the way. It's kind of a helpless solution. But when I think about it now, I always feel that there is something wrong with this letter.
Originally, he was going to go straight to Minghe Hall, but at this time, he couldn't hold back and went straight to Mulan Fang.
By this time, it was already dark.
Princess Yuan Yuyi of Langya in Qiuzifang got up early. When the maiden came to tell her that the general was coming, Yuan Yuyi sat in front of the bronze mirror and watched the slave comb her hair, and only lazily answered "I know". These days, Gao Cheng doesn't come to Dongbai Hall much, except for discussing with his henchmen in Minghe Hall, he also came to Qiuzifang to visit her.
Yuan Yuyi also knew that Gao Zhongmi's wife, Li, was now housed in Mulan Fang. In fact, she should have thought about it a long time ago, since Gao Cheng could place her here as a foreign wife, it would not be new to place another one. At this time, she didn't care so much and felt sad in her heart. At least now she has the identity of a princess and this fetus.
For a while, Yuan Yuyi and Li Changyi lived together in Dongbaitang, but they never met. Both of them deliberately lived in seclusion, pretending not to know that there were other people here. Yuan Yuyi is a self-contained identity, in fact, Li Changyi is also a self-contained identity.
Yuan Yuyi always remembered that she was now a princess, and there was no need to take the initiative to get close to a foreign woman who was still a married woman. Li Changyi felt that she was a thorn no matter what she said, and she never thought of being Gao Cheng's grandmother, so she naturally looked down on Yuan Yuyi, the so-called princess who was originally a dancing girl, from the bottom of her heart.
Gao Cheng entered Qiuzifang, but he was surprised to see the slaves and maids going in and out in an orderly manner, and it seemed that the masters and slaves in this courtyard had already gotten up. The slaves and maidservants were not surprised to see the general come in, and they saluted one after another. Kuye, who happened to come out, saw Gao Cheng, greeted him and saluted, got up and asked, "Does the general want to see the little lady?" The little lady was in the house. ”
The bitter leaves looked like they were not close, nor were they estranged, which made Gao Cheng feel a little unhappy. But he didn't have the heart to worry about Kuye at this time, and went straight to the house where Li Changyi lived.
Sure enough, as Kuye said, Li Changyi heard the sound outside and was coming out. Li Changyi knew that she was held in Gao Cheng's palm at this time, she was also smart, and she would not argue with him directly, so when she saw Gao Cheng, she came up to salute, and she didn't say a word. Gao Cheng saw that her dislike and disgusting appearance was the same as that of the bitter leaf master and slave, and he was even more suspicious in his heart.
"Madame's living here is very easy with what happens." Gao Cheng glanced around, and asked Li Changyi again, "Madame has nothing to say when she sees me?" ”
Li Changyi could see that Gao Cheng's visit this time was very different from the last time. Especially when he couldn't see whether he was happy or angry, he expected that Gao Zhongmi had something bigger in Beiyu Prefecture. According to her private opinion, Gao Cheng is not a person who is very good at hiding her thoughts, and at this time, she is so calm and difficult to distinguish, even her heart is hanging, I don't know how far things have come.
"If the general has something, he will definitely give orders, why bother with a concubine who talks too much." Li Changyi insisted on refusing to obey Gao Cheng's thoughts, and replied lightly with a sense of proportion. She knew that if she really abandoned Gao Zhongmi to accommodate Gao Cheng at this time, she might not get a good result, but she might be belittled. It's not just Gao Cheng who is belittled.
Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze again and stared at Li Changyi. "Madame's letter to Gao Zhongmi should have been delivered a long time ago. Does Madame know? Xikou captured Baigu, and Gao Zhongmi accepted the position of Situ in the service of Yuwen Black Otter, and had merged with the Xikou thief army, wanting to attack Luoyang. ”
Seeing that Gao Cheng's expression didn't look like he was cheating her, Li Changyi's heart was cold. In fact, she and Gao Zhongmi have been dating for a long time. If it is an exchange of letters, it will always be the opposite. So she sent a letter to Gao Zhongmi asking him to return to Yecheng, but in fact, the meaning was the opposite, that he should not come back.
The reason why she said this was because of her intentions. knew that Gao Cheng would read this letter, so as not to make Gao Cheng suspicious, so the letter was written simply. The words are clear, so that Gao Cheng has nowhere to suspect, so that it can be sent to Gao Zhongmi's hands. Secondly, he also expressed his heart to his husband Gao Zhongmi through letters. Hinting at him, she was a hostage at Gao Cheng's hands. In Gao Zhongmi's view, the meaning in the letter was that he should not return to Yecheng. But there is a deeper meaning, so that Gao Zhongmi understands that she is also in danger, and still thinks of him, hoping that Gao Zhongmi can try to save her when he sees the letter.
