Chapter 443: Dewey Returns to Beijing
According to Xiao Yao's analysis, this is tantamount to using Dewey to stabilize the size of Miaojiang, but if this is really the case, Dewey and others will become outcasts and fall into the enemy camp, once the war starts, the result can be imagined.
Xiao Yao didn't want to stay with the funeral, but he was already on Dewey's thief ship, so it was not good to leave him alone.
The most important thing is that I still have some troubles that I haven't dealt with. Now that the imperial court has made up its mind to go to war, what we need to consider now is how not to let the imperial court be charged with evacuating Xizhou without permission, but also to leave Xizhou smoothly.
In fact, Xiao Yao is not worried about his safety in Miaojiang, but the eldest lady is still by his side, once the war starts, how to escort the eldest lady back to the Central Plains safely, this is a more troublesome problem.
Xiao Yao looked at Dewey a little distracted, and after a while, he thought about it. opened his mouth and said, "Brother Du, in fact, we still have a way to avoid this problem. â
When Dewey heard Xiao Yao say this, he immediately turned around, "Brother Xiao, if you have anything, just say it." â
"In fact, if the imperial court wants to stabilize the Tusi of Miaojiang, then we can't revoke this Qincha Xingyuan that we have temporarily formed before the war, and at the same time, we can't dissolve this Xingyuan by ourselves. But we can order us to do something by ourselves in the name of Xingyuan, so that we can leave Xizhou logically? â
Xiao Yao felt that making full use of the brand of Qincha Xingyuan was the king.
"What is the reason for us to leave Xizhou logically?" At this point, Dewey was clearly more concerned about the issue.
"Of course, it's the official business of the imperial court, we can draft a note on the development of the Miao Jiang form, and then set it up as a high-level confidential document, so that you must personally escort it into Beijing to report it."
Xiao Yao said the plan he designed.
"Since the imperial court doesn't want to remove the Qin Mission, then it won't give us any substantive tasks, but we can give ourselves some substantive tasks, and this escort of confidential information is the best task." Xiao Yao began to talk about his plan in detail.
According to Xiao Yao's estimate, the imperial court would definitely not agree to Dewey's departure from Xizhou, because he was now the temporary head of the Qin Cha Xingyuan, and sacrificing him in exchange for the imperial court's march was a very cost-effective thing.
Therefore, Dewey must not affect the plan of the imperial court, but also return to the capital openly, that is, there must be top-secret information in Xizhou City that Dewey had to personally send back to the capital.
According to the regulations of this dynasty, when the level of secrecy reaches a certain level, it needs to be escorted by officials of the corresponding level, and Dewey is a four-grade person, so he needs to find an equivalent confidential information.
It's just that how to find a suitable piece of confidential information is a very critical issue.
But this point is nothing to Xiao Yao, because there is one thing that can be used as this confidential information, that is, the information of the Phoenix Mountain chaos.
Although the imperial court also has some hidden piles in Miaojiang, even if many Tusi in Miaojiang are not clear about the truth of the Phoenix Mountain chaos, then let alone these hidden piles.
As long as Xiao Yao provided a relatively valuable account of the Phoenix Mountain Rebellion, and explained the possible cause of Kang Qincha's death in Phoenix Mountain, then Dewey could use this excuse to leave.
As for Xiao Yao, he is not a person who is sent to Xingyuan at all, so naturally he doesn't need to stay here to live and die with Xingyuan.
The reason why Xiao Yao wanted to help Dewey leave was precisely because he hoped that Dewey could send the eldest lady back to Beijing by the way.
Xiao Yao was not worried that Dewey would have any accidents when he escorted the eldest lady, first of all, Dewey returned to Beijing to report on his work as an official, so the chance of encountering danger along the way was much smaller.
Secondly, at this time, only Dewey can help by his side, and at the same time, Wang Lu can also accompany the guards.
Xiao Yao believed that this matter was just a gesture for Dewey, and Dewey would definitely seize this opportunity to further strengthen his relationship with himself.
This was what Dewey had always looked forward to, and it was also one of the many offensives that Dewey had launched against himself.
Since Dewey did this, he must have something to help him do, but now is not the time to sue himself, so Xiao Yao can take advantage of the opportunity of Dewey's return to Beijing at this time to send the eldest lady back to the Central Plains safely.
Sending the eldest lady away, he has no worries, and he joined the shadow guard with the help of Dewey, Dewey hung up, and he didn't even have a contact person.
After thinking about this, Xiao Yao still decided to make a little money.
King Miao's old fox is not a good thing, and there is no need to hide many things for him. If the imperial court wants to send troops to Miaojiang, it must investigate the current basic situation of Miaojiang and find out the basic process of the Phoenix Mountain Rebellion, which is the top priority.
But at the same time, Xiao Yao didn't want Dewey to know too much about the things between himself and Miao Jiang, so he needed to process many things that had happened in Phoenix Mountain recently and add the plot he liked.
After a while, Xiao Yao secretly typed a simple draft in his heart, then picked up the paper and pen on the table, and simply wrote a draft of three or four hundred words.
The gist of it is that King Miao united with his cousins the Second Temple of the Witch God and Kang Qincha in Phoenix Mountain to try to seize power and control the Witch God Temple, but they were opposed by people from all walks of life, such as the Wuliu faction Qingxu and others.
In a big battle, the second hall of the Witch God Temple died in battle, Kang Qincha also died in that chaos, King Miao escaped from Phoenix Mountain, and the Witch God Temple was closed.
Xiao Yao naturally wouldn't say anything about the Four Pillars Yin Corpse, and even if he did, those people in the court wouldn't believe it. Although much of the content in this memo is not new, it is information from the front line, so it can be regarded as important information, and it is reasonable for Dewey to escort it personally.
While Xiao Yao wrote the memorabilia, he also proposed to Dewey that he should escort the eldest lady back to Beijing along the way, but Dewey was very happy and agreed at that time, and also agreed to Xiao Yao's construction and took Wang Lu as an assistant on the road.
With Wang Lu, Xiao Yao felt a lot more at ease, others would betray him, but Wang Lu and Ghost Face would definitely not, because they had tasted the feeling of life and death talismans and knew the price they needed to pay for betraying themselves.
With Wang Lu on the side as a guard, Xiao Yao was more at ease.
Xiao Yao continued to discuss some details with Dewey before returning to the inn where he was staying.
After telling everyone about her arrangements, the eldest lady seemed a little disappointed that Xiao Yao could not return to Beijing with her, but there was no better way at this time.
If the matter about Kang Qincha is not handled well, it means that there will be a lot of trouble for Xiao Yao and the eldest lady, and it will even implicate the Zhao family.
After all, in some things, Xiao Yao and others have a certain relationship with Kang Qincha, if the imperial court investigates carefully, many things are not clear at all, and they will inevitably get into trouble.
Fortunately, the imperial court now seems to pay more attention to the war against Miaojiang, so it has not thought of sending someone to investigate the real cause of Kang Qincha's death at all.
In Xiao Yao's view, not investigating this matter is itself an attitude of the imperial court.
In this way, it is equivalent to the imperial court guarding the face of the surname Kang on a certain period of time, and not investigating the cause of Kang Qincha's death, which naturally delays the investigation of Kang Qincha's bribery.
Once the imperial army's troops were deployed, it didn't matter at all whether these things were right or wrong after the war.
The eldest lady and Hu Yiyi said goodbye, and Xiao Yao told Wang Lu carefully. At dawn the next day, Dewey took the eldest lady and Wang Lu to the Tusi Mansion to go through the relevant procedures.
Peng's Tusi Mansion did not restrict Dewey's movement at all, and several people left the Tusi Mansion and came to the Xizhou military camp outside the city, bringing a team of soldiers from the Qincha Xingyuan Guards, which were naturally the guards of the forbidden army directly under Dewey, and then a team of people and horses embarked on the official road back to Beijing.
These guards are still very happy that they can finally return to the capital, and they don't know when they stay here and will become cannon fodder one day.
Although Xizhou City is peaceful now, both sides are secretly preparing for war, whether it is the Tusi Mansion army in the city or the soldiers under the Xizhou General stationed outside the city.
The tense atmosphere can be felt at all times in the barracks.
With the departure of Dewey and the eldest lady, there were only two officers in charge of liaison left in the Qincha Xingyuan, who received the Di Bao from the post station of Tusi Mansion every day, and these two guys did not even live in the city, and returned to the Xizhou General Station outside the city at night.
Xiao Yao naturally did not go to the temporary requisitioned post station again, but carefully planned his further actions in the inn.
This time, the goal of the southwest trip has been completed, and Shun LĂŹ cured the eldest lady's condition, but she got into some trouble, mainly related to Kang Qincha. Although this guy is now dead, he is the prime minister's brother-in-law, so he still has to be cautious.
This time the southwest trip depends on each other, and his martial arts have greatly improved, although he has now slipped to the realm of gathering qi into a blade, but he is much stronger than when he first entered the Miao Territory, and this time he and the Wuliu faction formed an incomprehensible hatred, and at the same time offended the Xichuan Zhong family.
The Zhong family's talent is now withering, and it is not a problem, but the Wuliu faction and the royal family are very close, and they must find a way to get rid of that ghost servant, so that they can be regarded as never in the future.
In addition, there is the Witch Cloth Sect, although this scourge is hidden, but Xiao Yao has already arranged for the ghost face to investigate in detail, and now he has some eyebrows, and he will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots when he takes this opportunity, leaving no future troubles.
In addition to these, Xiao Yao still feels that some of the mysteries of this trip to Miaojiang have not been solved, and there are still some hidden secrets of the chaos in Miaojiang, which is not clear to him, if these can be investigated clearly, it would be great if he could help Peng Shan in the future, and maybe he could also have more understanding of the inheritance of the Wu clan.
