Chapter 133: A Place for Soldiers
Xiaoyue City is connected to the desert in the west, across the Huaishui in the south and Jinnan in the south, Suyan in the north, and Shuochu in the east.
This time the Jinnan Western Desert Alliance, Xiaoyue City will definitely become an important messaging hub.
Liu Wuxian turned the cup in his hand and consciously handed it to Fang Jinyue, "I plan to leave the day after tomorrow." ”
"Burn one more stick of incense for me, and when the war is over, I will personally go to worship and ask for my sins." Fang Jinyue returned the sword into the sheath, took the tea cup sent by Liu Wuxian, and sat opposite him.
"If I go now, I'm afraid I can only come back when the fighting stops." Liu Wuxian looked up and saw the fine sweat on Fang Jinyue's forehead, and summoned the little eunuch on the side to send a fine cloth, "You have always been cautious, I am not worried that you will be deceived by others, just don't be suspicious, don't let people with intentions take advantage of the loopholes, and there will be suspicions between the monarchs and ministers." ”
"What do you do with so much useless talking? When the worship is over, I will return immediately. Fang Jinyue took a sip of the teacup, and then took a muslin cloth to wipe the sweat beads from his forehead.
"Xiaoyue City is a battleground for soldiers, and I don't need to say much about the benefits, if you can control it in your own hands, it will be beneficial and harmless." Liu Wuxian felt strange about Fang Jinyue's attitude, such a good place with no harm in all kinds, wouldn't he be moved?
"For me, Xiaoyue City can be lost, but you can't." Fang Jinyue raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Wuxi, her tone was serious, "The role of Xiaoyue City, I have thousands of ways to replace it, but you only have one, I don't allow you to take risks." ”
"Jinyue, I still have roots in the city, and there are not a few old subordinates who are loyal to me, you don't have to worry." Liu Wuxian smiled, it turned out that he was worried about himself.
"I said no, I just can't." Fang Jinyue had a tough attitude, and glared at Liu Wuxian, "Now that the 300,000 troops are all gathered in Liangguan, you will be able to go south to attack Jin in a few days, at this time, when you return to the city, no one cares whether you really worship your dead mother, there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at you all the time, once you have any abnormal movements, it is difficult to retreat." ”
"The situation in Xiaoyue City is complicated, the court is also separately distributed, the struggle has always been fierce, and there are loopholes to exploit, this time I go back, just by the hand of the assistant official, I can do it, you can rest assured." Liu Wuxian persuaded him.
"I didn't listen to you, did I?" Fang Jinyue slapped the table when he heard this, and his sword eyebrows raised slightly, "If you insist, don't go back, go to Xiangguo Temple outside the city to burn a few pillars of incense and worship briefly, and then go back to ask your mother for guilt when the war subsides." ”
“…… Why are you still in a hurry? Liu Wuxian smiled helplessly, "That's it, just listen to you, after I worship, I'll come back immediately, are you satisfied?" ”
"Hmm." Fang Jinyue nodded, her eyes gloomy.
Jinnan, Winterfell.
"Zhai Fang?" Xiu Yi held a note in his hand, frowning slightly.
"This Zhai Fang is the righteous son of the owner of Tianlu Villa, who worshiped under the door of Tianlu Villa eight years ago, and is the shopkeeper of all the shops in the north of Suyan Weishui in Tianlu Villa, and his deeds have been checked." Ling Feng stood aside with his sword in his hand, reporting all the news he found one by one.
"How can a little-known businessman have the ability to lead thousands of armies to retreat from the enemy?" Xiu Yi threw the note into the charcoal brazier on the side, opened another envelope, and the rice paper was unfolded in front of Xiu Yi, like two portraits of people.
"The above one is a portrait of Zhai Fang himself, and his subordinates have sent someone to visit the north of Weishui with this portrait before, and they are sure that this is Zhai Fang." Ling Feng said truthfully, "The following one is a portrait of Mrs. Zhai Fang, which was painted by his subordinates who sent people to infiltrate Tianlu Villa. This lady of Zhai Fang has a very interesting identity, and His Royal Highness should know this woman. ”
Xiu Yi didn't see anything on Zhai Fang's portrait, but when his eyes turned to the second portrait of "Mrs. Zhai Fang", Xiu Yi's face changed suddenly.
"That's right, this king knows her, she is Xiao Shiyu, the third lady of Suyan Xiaoguo's mansion, who entered the abyss valley with her thoughts when she was a child, and her pseudonym is Manxue." Xiu Yi crumpled the two portraits into a ball and stuffed them back into Ling Feng's arms, picked up the cold tea on the table and poured it into the charcoal basin, the charcoal basin suddenly sounded a "stabbing" sound, and then white smoke rose up, and the charcoal fire was extinguished, leaving only a few remaining fires.
"When Xiao Guifei was assassinated on the wedding night and buried in the imperial mausoleum, she died in the rear and was buried with Xiao Guifei in the imperial mausoleum. But Miss Zhuo, who pretended to be Xiao Shiyu and married Fang Han back then, and the real Xiao Shiyu are still alive, so who was buried in the imperial mausoleum at that time? Moreover, Fang Han knew that the person in the imperial mausoleum was not Concubine Xiao, so why did he want to be buried with her? Ling Feng paused, and then said, "Your Highness, there were many strange things about Fang Han's death back then, and my subordinates had to doubt ......"
"Even you suspect him, it seems that there is a lot to be done about this matter." Xiu Yi said with a smile.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Ling Feng was slightly stunned, and vaguely guessed His Royal Highness the Prince's plan.
"You say, if Su Yan's people knew that Fang Han was not dead, and all the ups and downs of power back then were just a transaction between the superiors, their wise and martial emperor turned out to be a despicable villain who regarded the people as ants, did anything for the throne, did not hesitate to support the puppet emperor, and let the eunuchs bring disaster to the country, how would they feel?" Xiu Yi sneered.
"Those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, His Highness's meaning is understood by his subordinates." Ling Feng said, "It's just that this and all of them are just our guesses based on clues, and there is no evidence, so I'm afraid this statement is difficult to convince the public." ”
"The three of them become tigers, as long as the story is exciting enough, ups and downs enough, and profitable enough, rumors can come true without evidence." Xiu Yi glanced at Ling Feng, his dark eyes were bottomless, cold as ice, "This matter, can't be done by me Jinnan, you go and pass the news to Xuan Nanjun." ”
"Why not? The subordinates don't understand it again. Ling Feng asked.
"Now that I, Jinnan, Su Yan and Shuochu are on the same footing, and the remarks that sow discord have spread from my Jinnan, so they are naturally less credible." Xiu Yi sighed lightly and said with a smile, "Xi Mo is different, Xi Mo once made an in-law with Fang Han, promising to share peace, support each other, and not invade each other for a hundred years. But back then, the Western Desert was in trouble, and the King of the Desert personally rushed to Yanjing City and failed to ask Fang Jinyue for help. ”
"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do it immediately." Ling Feng suddenly realized, and his face was shocked.
"Wait, Sisi has news?" Xiu Yi asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Wei Yue has been tracking the carriage carrying Liu Wuxian and Miss Sisi, the carriage is escorted by Xiao Shiqian's personal soldiers, all the way into Yanjing City, into the imperial city, and there is no news. Wei Yue once mixed into the inn to receive her, and determined that it was Liu Wuxian and Miss Sisi who were in the carriage. Ling Feng said.
"I see, go ahead." Xiu Yi Dao.
Shuochu, Chu An City.
Yansi has had severe morning sickness recently, and he has no appetite, he can't eat anything, and he can't get any meat at all.
Shen Jiang was in pain, and she couldn't solve the dietary problem of Yansi even after changing countless cooks, so she could only accompany her to eat vegetarian every day, only eating some vegetables and fruits every day, and completely broke off all ties related to delicacies and delicacies.
And when it directly led to the spies' report, he almost failed to recognize the owner of his family, who had never been able to get along with "emaciation".
At this time, Yan Si was still asleep, and Shen Jiang was like an arrow, and he had no patience to waste time with the spies who were kneeling on the ground in a daze, so as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
“…… The master of the door, the traceless son returned to Xiaoyue City to worship his deceased mother, and when he was about to leave, he was detained by Ke Zhifeng. The spy hurriedly said.
"Xiaoyue City?" Shen Jiangli's face changed color instantly, his eyebrows wrinkled a few times, his eyes turned intently in the slightly sunken eye sockets, and suddenly his eyes stopped, and they landed on the kneeling spy, stretching between his eyebrows.
The spy only felt a shudder.
"Ke Zhifeng wants to use Liu Wuxian to contain Fang Jinyue? No matter how bad the relationship between their uncle and nephew is, it won't be so ruthless. Shen Jiangli sneered, stretched out on the chair, and his lazy voice was mixed with some calculating gloom, "Alas...... Is it smart but mistaken by smart, or is the old ginger more spicy......"
"Su Yan's 300,000 troops who went south to attack Jin were directly stationed thirty miles outside the east gate of Xiaoyue City, but they did not make any other moves, and they were only stationed for three days, and then continued to go south." The spy craned his neck and said calmly.
"Will it be calculated?" When Shen Jiangli heard this, the corners of his lips suddenly cracked into a smile, "This trip to the muddy waters, I don't mind making it even more muddy." ”
Shen Jiangli waved his hand at the spy, and the spy retreated silently, he rubbed his palms, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
When he rushed back to his bedroom, he had already woken up and was sitting at his desk drinking the fresh juice from the kitchen.
"Daughter-in-law, why did you wake up so early today?" As soon as Shen Jiangli entered the door, he saw Yan Temple, whose lower abdomen was slightly raised, holding a cup of fresh juice and taking a sip, so he changed his subconscious steps towards the direction of the bed and came to the back of Yan Temple.
"Today's spirit is not bad, I think of activities." Yansi put down the cup, raised his hand to cover the palm of Shen Jiangli on his shoulder, and raised his head slightly.
"Daughter-in-law, I have to go far away." Shen Jiangli held Yan Temple's slender hand, bowed down and wrapped Yan Temple in his arms, covered Yan Temple's lower abdomen with one hand, and said softly, "I have already sent someone to transfer Wei Jiu, she can rush back tomorrow to take care of you for me." ”
"Where are you going?" Yansi leaned back on Shen Jiangli's chest and asked reluctantly.
"Xiaoyue City." Shen Jiangli's hand gently stroked Yan Temple's lower abdomen, feeling the reluctance in her tone, he turned his head and kissed her cheek, "Xiaoyue City is accessible in all directions, and the news is the most convenient and unimpeded, you can explore the situation in all directions, and gain insight into the actions of neighbors, this piece of fat, I am bound to get it." ”
"Since Xiaoyue City is a piece of fat, there must be many people who covet it, and there are many people in the city, so you should be careful in everything." Yansi nodded, although he was reluctant in his heart, he didn't show it, "Me and the child, wait for you to come back." ”
Shen Jiangli kissed the lip flap of Yan Temple heavily, "Don't worry, I won't turn Xiaoyue City upside down this time, and I'm sorry for my Shen family master's reputation in the world." ”
