Cui Jishu said a word.

Although Chen Yuankang did not speak, he was obviously thinking deeply.

"I don't want to." Gao Cheng replied without hesitation. "Why bother with such a name." Whether this is true or not, Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang both understand that this is a temporary theory, and the time is not right.

"How does the world feel about the situation today?" Chen Yuankang asked. Apparently he was prepared to ask only for similarities and differences.

"The second brother and I are like flesh and blood. Naturally, there is nothing to be deceived about the worries of my heart. Gao Cheng said with all his heart, "Not to mention the world, even within the Great Wei is unpredictable." He seemed to have a headache and subconsciously reached out and stroked his forehead. Putting aside the sorrow of youth, he has made people ignore that he is just a teenager.

"You have to do it one by one. The most important thing at the moment is to clear the chaos of the Xiao Wall. Gao Cheng turned the subject back to it. Brother Changyou, I know Hou Jingqi very well. What the brother said is extremely true, but this person is not unavailable. However, Kansai He Bayue and Xiazhou Yuwentai, these two people are cloudy and sunny, if they are separated, they are arrogant and unpredictable, they are always not single-minded people, and it is difficult to really control them, which is really a problem for confidants. ”

"What does the prince mean, using Hou Jing?" Chen Yuankang asked.

Hou Jing has long had a grudge against He Bayue and Yuwentai in his heart, and he has always been in contact with Hou Mo and Chen Yue of Qinzhou. Hou Mo and Chen Yue are in Guanzhong together, He Bayue is powerful, how can he have no complaints? Gao Cheng said.

"It's just that Hou Jing is not easy to use, and I'm afraid that he won't be used by me." Chen Yuankang pondered. He was already thinking about how to persuade Hou Jing to do this voluntarily.

"This is a big deal, so I want to entrust it to my brother." Gao Cheng said. "Although Hou Jing is treacherous, he knows that he is powerful, if it is something related to his life, he will naturally understand it. I don't mean to take advantage of him, doesn't Brother Changyou think this is helping Hou Jing? Is he unwilling? ”

"The teachings of the prince, the empowerment of Yuanyasu." Yes, the Gao family is afraid of He Bayue and Yuwentai, isn't Hou Jing jealous? Chen Yuankang's mind immediately cleared up.

"To each according to his needs. It's not abrupt for my brother to go, I have already discussed with him beforehand, and he naturally understands in his heart. Gao Cheng remembered the secret discussion between Yuwentai and the eldest princess Yuan Yuying and Hou Jing, and he still felt more sure in his heart.

Chen Yuankang was also thinking about how to make this matter logical.

After the discussion, I went out of the house. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were side by side and asked, "Is General Yuankang going to Boling?" ”

Chen Yuankang thought for a while and said, "Naturally, the sooner the better." ”

Cui Jishu still couldn't help but ask, "How does the general negotiate with Hou Jing?" ”

"Know the pros and cons, and distinguish the pros and cons." Chen Yuankang said thoughtfully, "It is necessary to let him know that the prince is generous and tolerant." He naturally understood that He Bayue and Yu Wentai might not be able to tolerate him. "Brave and strategic, not chaotic, Chen Yuankang is indeed a person who does great things.

"Take care all the way, General." Cui Jishu gave up.

Chen Yuankang rode out, suddenly stopped again, turned his head and said to Cui Jishu, "The son of the world treats me like flesh and blood, and I will repay me with my life in the future." Uncle Zheng, you naturally understand the unity of honor and disgrace, and if you go to Boling with me, you will make the world come true. Luoyang was handed over to you. ”

Cui Jishu didn't dare to joke, he understood the deep meaning of his words, and he himself thought that this was true, "General Yuankang just goes, Cui Jishu will naturally do his best for Lang." ”

In Guanzhong, the wind and sand are all over the Wuding River, and Tongwan City is in the desert. Accustomed to the prosperity of Luoyang, Yuan Yuying felt that Tongwan City was not big, and it was lonely and cold in a corner of the desert. This city was originally the capital of Daxia a hundred years ago, and Da Dan was built by Helian Bobo. In the past, the homeland of the Xiongnu has long been wiped out, and today Tongwancheng is the state seat of Xiazhou Thorn Shi Yuwentai. The eldest princess Yuan Yuying has only lived in Tongwan City for a few months, and she lives in a simple place on weekdays, and today is the first time she has gone out of the house, and she has not swaggered in the city, but she has only looked at the city wall to comfort herself.

The sky was clear and dazzlingly blue, and it was close to noon, and the sun was blazing, not like spring weather, as if summer was approaching, but it was as cold as the winter moon in the morning and evening. Yuan Yuying looked at it at a glance, but she didn't see Luoyang, there were few people, and there were clusters of sea buckthorn everywhere. Sea buckthorn grows very inconspicuously, and it is said that the fruit is orange-red and extremely sour. Thinking of this, Yuan Yuying suddenly felt a strange sense of uneasiness.

Nan Qiao hurriedly went to the city, walked to Yuan Yuying's side, and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the captain of the horse has returned home." Seeing that the eldest princess was not in the mansion, he ordered General Shi Yu Jin to look around. Changshi is now waiting under the city tower, saying that it is a big wind and sand here, and the captain of the horse specially instructed that His Royal Highness has been unwell recently, and ordered Changshi to find the eldest princess and escort His Royal Highness back early. ”

General Wei Yu Jin, shrewd, neat and decisive, is Yuwentai's most powerful subordinate in Xiazhou, the current Xia Governor Shi, the city defense governor. At this time, Yuwentai ordered him to look for his wife in Tongwan City, and Yuan Yuying also felt the deep cherishment of her husband Yuwentai in his heart.

"Got it." Yuan Yuying turned around in disappointment, after all, homesickness was still interrupted.

Compared to the Hussar General's Mansion in Luoyang City, the Assassin's Mansion in Tongwan City was really simple and small, but Yuwentai had never heard the eldest princess Yuan Yuying complain. Even the entourage of the eldest princess came to Guanzhong from Luoyang, and so did the attendants stationed in Tongwan.

Yu Wentai stood under the verandah of the inner courtyard of the mansion, pondering while waiting for the eldest princess Yuan Yuying to return. Today, he just received a secret letter from Luoyang, sent by the Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch. According to the usual practice, as in the past, this is the secret decree of Emperor Yuan Xiu, entrusted in the so-called private letter of King Nanyang.

The meaning of Emperor Yuan Xiu's words in the secret decree is very clear. It is hoped that Yuwentai will promote Daxing Taihe Bayue to further pacify Guanzhong, so that he can concentrate his forces on the side of Qingjun in Luoyang in the future. In Guanzhong, the exiles in Hexi were not in trouble, and although Mo Chen Yue, the assassin of Qinzhou, forgot his life when he saw the small profits, he was also extremely sorry and cowardly. However, Lingzhou Thorn Shi Cao Ni is arrogant, powerful, and self-respecting, which is extremely difficult to get along. Cao Ni is brave and strategic, and he almost doesn't even pay attention to the prime minister Gao Huan, let alone He Bayue.

Yuwentai is worried about this, I am afraid that he will be in a hurry, not only will he not be able to calm Cao Ni, but the hinterland of Guanzhong will be in chaos. But if the relationship is uneven, how can the inside be uneasy? Emperor Yuan Xiu and Yuan Bao Torch, Hu Sichun, Yuan Bi, Wang Sizheng and others only knew their own difficulties, and could not see the difficulties of others. Thinking that things are as easy as they say, this also makes Yu Wentai troubled.

The troubles in his heart have actually been revealed to Yu Jin. Yu Jinqiang insisted that he should go to Shanggui immediately, and he could not sit and wait for news in Tongwan. Although Yu Wentai did not express his position, he had his own ideas in his heart. It's just that everything is complicated, and there must be no mistakes. His face is calm at the moment, and his heart is already full of waves.

When I looked up unintentionally, I happened to see that the eldest princess Yuan Yuying had returned, followed by Nan Qiao and others. took two steps, stood still, and waited for Yuan Yuying to come over. As soon as Yuan Yuying entered the courtyard, she saw Yuwen Tai's figure in contemplation, so she quickened her pace and walked up.

"What's the matter, husband?" Yuan Yuying asked anxiously while waving her hand to let all the irrelevant people out. The important things that can make Yuwentai ponder are very likely to be related to Luoyang, about her younger brother, Emperor Yuan Xiu, and she naturally can't help but care.

"Good wife, you came to Tongwan when you first arrived in Guanzhong, and you have not been accustomed to the water and soil recently, so you might as well rest more in the house, work less, and think less." Yuwentai stroked Yuan Yuying's shoulder and motioned for her to enter the house.

Nan Qiao understood what the concubine meant, and bowed silently and stood at the door. Yu Wentai and Yuan Yuying went in side by side.

"My husband asked me to come back, is there a secret letter from the Lord?" Yuan Yuying entered the inner bed, watched the door close, and asked again.

"Your Highness, the Lord has not issued an order, it is the Nanyang King Yuan Bao Torch who has a letter." Yu Wentai's words have a deep meaning, but they are extremely calm on the surface.

"Husband, what the king of Nanyang said in his letter must be the meaning of the Lord, but it is not good to make the holy decree clear. Does the husband really not understand? Yuan Yuying's face was thin and angry, and he said urgently. Seeing that Yuwentai was silent, he asked again, "Please tell me the truth, what did King Nanyang say in his letter?" ”

Yu Wentai couldn't truthfully repeat the words in the Yuan Bao Torch letter to Yuan Yuying one by one. Moreover, the background of this matter itself is complicated, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. Therefore, Yuwentai still didn't speak.

"Is there a rebellion that is in danger of the Lord's safety? Don't hide it from me, husband. Yuan Yuying saw that Yuwentai was silent, and she was even more anxious.

"Your Highness, don't think wildly." Seeing that she had such a misunderstanding, Yu Wentai had to explain. "Since Your Highness and the lower officials are husband and wife, please let go of your worries and have your own subordinates to deal with everything." The meaning of Yuwentai's words is very clear, whether it is the Luoyang court or a corner of Guanzhong, he has his own opinions, and he doesn't want his wife to hinder him.

"Husband," Yuan Yuying also seemed to realize that she was a little too anxious and angry just now, so she suppressed the evil spirit in her chest, and said in a slightly soothing tone, "You are the pillar of the emperor, the humerus of Guanzhong, everything has its own advance and retreat, since I am the wife of the general, how can I not believe it." It's just that," her tone gradually hardened again, "The husband is the captain of the lord's concubine, I am also the princess of Dawei, the lord is kind to the general, and the emperor is my compatriot's blood, how can I ignore the society and abandon the blood, only see the comfort in front of me, and only care about the kindness of the husband and wife?" Please also be considerate and forgive me. ”

Yuan Yuying felt the stuffiness in her chest rise as she spoke, and she couldn't help but stroke her chest. Yuwentai saw that her face was pale and very uncomfortable, so he didn't argue further, but he was unhappy in his heart. Emperor Yuan Xiu couldn't have understood the meaning of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying to marry him, but today he saw Yuan Yuying so realistically that he really valued the Great Wei Sheji and his compatriot Yuan Xiu in his heart, which really made him feel cold. In fact, the danger of supporting the community and the situation in protecting customs relations are both coordinated and contradictory. The main point is nothing more than the order of order and the importance of the tilt. In the meantime, it all depends on homeopathic planning, so that it is logical, and it is naturally smooth, and there is a day of great success. Yu Wentai is confident that he has this talent and an iron fist of certainty. He didn't want to explain these things, and it was inconvenient to explain them to his wife, and he didn't want to let Emperor Yuanxiu and Nanyang Wang Yuanbaoju, Shizhong Hu Sichun and others know clearly. Emperor Yuan Xiu put himself first, this is originally a matter of life and death. But Yuan Yuying is his wife, so she is naturally different from Yuan Xiu.

Yu Wentai felt a little lost in his heart, and at the same time secretly laughed at himself in his heart. Since the day of marriage, he and Yuan Yuying have been deeply in love, so he inadvertently thought that the kindness of husband and wife must be the most important in Yuan Yuying's heart. Contrary to his wishes, Yu Wentai suddenly felt desolate in his heart.

Keeping everything in his heart, he only said lightly, "If Your Highness is unwell, it is better to rest......" He was still about to say something, and suddenly Nan Qiao's voice came from outside the door.

"Master Lang, someone in Guanzhong sent a letter."

This was unexpected news, and it appeared so suddenly, which made Yuwentai and Yuan Yuying a little shocked.

Yuwentai walked over and opened the door, Nan Qiao handed in a letter and whispered: "General Zhao Gui, the governor of the capital, sent someone to deliver a letter to Lord Lang, and Changshi Yu Jin is also waiting for Lord Lang in the outer hall." ”

Zhao Gui's father and ancestor were born as military officials in the Great Wei Dynasty, and his father was the son of a good family in Wuchuan, a town guarding Dai County, and settled here. Therefore, Zhao Gui and Yuwentai went out of Wuchuan together, and they have always been close to each other. At this time, Zhao Gui suddenly sent a letter, there must be something extraordinary. and there will be words of telling. Yu Wentai instructed Nan Qiao to settle the people from Guanzhong, and then read the letter behind closed doors.

Watching Yu Wentai read the letter, silent for a long time, only focusing on the thin piece of paper, frowning, Yuan Yuying felt that something was unusual.
