Of course, the four deputy commanders were opposed to this appointment, but Rick was already determined, and he instructed the four deputy commanders to only take care of their own affairs, and as for the objections, they naturally rejected all of them. After that, Rick left Caifeng and Leng Ying to protect Su Qiong, but he took Yulu and left, leaving behind four angry deputy commanders and three helpless women. Afterwards, the four deputy commanders played the matter to Her Majesty the Queen, and naturally there were many words of impeachment in the recitals, but the strange thing is that these recitals were like stones in the sea, and there was no news. Only then did the four deputy commanders suddenly realize in their hearts that they had already received the tacit approval of His Majesty if they dared to feel that the earl was so nonsense. Only then did they obey Su Qiong's orders, and during this period, they were surprised to find that this woman, who looked quite weak, was actually in a good manner, balanced with all her sizes, and organized, and was no worse than any of her predecessors' commanders. They couldn't help but begin to be amazed at the lazy man's eyes.

When Rick returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to find Chrissy. He told the queen how she had summoned her, but Chrissy didn't show much surprise, and then Rick asked about Su Qiong's details.

Chrissy couldn't help but laugh, "You're finally starting to pay attention to her?" ”

Rick glared at her and said, "I just want to know, Su Qiong's details, why does she seem to know a lot, and she can even handle official documents from the official office?" Wasn't she from a poor background? ”

Chrissy seemed to know that he had such a question, and said without thinking about it: "She is indeed from a poor background, but she has been trained in the Mirror Flower Pavilion for seven years, and she has been involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. So naturally he is familiar with the bureaucratic system. Able to handle government affairs. I think she is no stranger to even arranging troops. What is lacking is only practical experience. ”

Rick was still puzzled: "Since she is so good, why did Marquis Jin give her to me?" ”

Chrissy sighed lightly: "This is what makes Su Qiong lovely, in the seven years of the Mirror Flower Pavilion, she has never competed with others for the limelight, but has been obscure, and would rather be given to dignitaries and dignitaries at one time in the future, rather than be held in the clouds and roll in the dust." ”

Rick nodded, and couldn't help but have a hint of respect for Su Qiong. But then he thought of a suspicious point: "Why did the Mirror Flower Pavilion spend seven years cultivating them?" Is it just to use them to curry favor with the dignitaries? ”

Chrissy smiled: "Su Qiong has already made it clear to me that she was indeed sent to you on a mission to monitor your every move. But from the day she entered the mansion, her role changed, and she wasn't spying on you, but on those who tried to spy on us. Every once in a while, she would send out news to the outside, just like Qiaoqiao, who had been staying in the house and in our control, the difference was that every time Su Qiong came out of the news, it was prepared by me in advance. ”

Rick suddenly realized: "It turns out that she has already surrendered to you." ”

Chrissy nodded and said, "The group of women who were sent out with Su Qiong were all secretly controlled by the Mirror Flower Pavilion, and they were poisoned in their bodies. You need to take medicine regularly, otherwise you will die of poison. Fortunately. Han Xue and Old Hailuo had already detected the toxicity of that poison and had already detoxified her. ”

"That's fine." Rick's heart fell back when he first mentioned his throat.

Chrissy glanced at him, an inexplicable smile appeared in her eyes, she was silent for a moment, and then said, "In the future, if you need to investigate the movements of various provinces, those women sent from the Mirror Flower Pavilion will be a big help. As long as you detoxify them, they will work for you. ”

A look of excitement crossed Rick's face. He had always been distressed that there were always people who put eyes and ears in his home, but he didn't put eyes and ears in other people's homes, which was really unfair. Now that there is about to turn around, it will not be long before there will be his eyes and ears in other mansions. This is like a windfall "wealth", it is simply a doubling of money!

Coming out of Chrissy's room, Rick felt not only relieved, but also confident, as if he was in control. Although some doubts have not yet been resolved, such as why did Feng Du and Marquis Jin, who both belong to the same system, place Qiaoqiao and Su Qiong here, respectively? This seems to indicate that the Wind Governor and the Marquis of Gold do not belong to the same system. Or maybe Marquis Jin, who seemed to have a close relationship with the Mirror Flower Pavilion, was actually in harmony with the Mirror Flower Pavilion, and it could be inferred that the object of Su Qiong's direct obedience was the Mirror Flower Pavilion at all, so that the reason why two eyes and ears who seemed to be from the same system appeared in this place at the same time. This conjecture was subsequently proven. Rick carefully read the information given to him by Concubine Ji Xue, which showed that the secret team had evidence that the Mirror Flower Pavilion and the Temple of War had frequent contacts in secret. The most recent time was on the 4th of February, and the Zhenniang of the Mirror Flower Pavilion flew into the Temple of the God of War in the middle of the night. Rick remembers that he was in the Mirror Flower Pavilion that night, and he won 750,000 gold coins from Zhen Niang. It seems that Zhen Niang went to the Temple of the God of War afterwards, which makes Rick can't help but have a lot of associations.

While the lights were on that day, Rick was studying the information at hand in his study in order to sort out his next move, when suddenly a maid came to report that a mysterious guest had visited, and asked Rick to meet her in the secret place. Rick thought it was strange, and he asked what the visitor looked like, but the maid just shook her head, because the visitor had wrapped herself in a large coat and had a cloak on her head, and the maid only knew that she was a woman. Rick's heart moved, and he suddenly vaguely guessed the identity of the adult. So he hurriedly asked the maid to take her to the small chamber behind the side hall, and he called Yulu and Qinglu and rushed over immediately.

After the maid who led the way withdrew, the visitor took off his coat and cloak, revealing long hair like a waterfall.

Rick smiled, "Miss Long, it's really you." ”

Long Yuyan smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that Gongzi Ji would become Count Peimeng, I was really surprised to see you in front of the Tianxuan Hall yesterday." ”

"I'll call Long Lan and them over." With that, Rick waited to tell Yulu to go and call all the swordsmen.

Long Yuyan waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy, there are some things I want to talk to you about first, Long Lan and the others are here, I can see you at any time." I can't be out for too long, so I'd better say what I need to say first. ”

Rick hurriedly invited Long Yuyan to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea himself. Long Yuyan pondered for a moment before asking, "Long Lan, isn't it strange that I will appear in the God of War Temple and become a warrior of the God of War Temple?" ”

Rick nodded and said, "They have been worried about you, they have been coming to Boyent for so many days, and they have been going to see you, but I stopped them. I think Miss Long must have a deep meaning when she enters the Temple of the God of War, and they may cause you trouble if they go to you. ”

Long Yuyan sighed lightly: "The reason why I entered the God of War Temple was out of helplessness. In the battle of the Yinma River that day, I was defeated and fell into a desperate situation, but fortunately I was rescued by my master. Afterwards, my master revealed his identity to me, and it turned out that he was actually an elder of the God of War Temple. He asked me to join the Temple of War temporarily, and I had nowhere else to go at the time, so I had to answer the call. Later, I found out that during the war with the Qin tribe that day, the 30,000 troops of the Mu tribe (the third largest clan of the Sidi) suddenly defected, and it was actually my master who instigated the transaction, and he figured out the deal of Guò, so that the Qin royal family agreed to the Temple of the God of War to enter its territory to preach and set up a branch hall. ”

"I see." Rick had a shocked look on his face. The Temple of the God of War actually has the power to use the war between countries as a bargaining chip, and its potential strength is terrifying, far beyond his estimates.

Long Yuyan glanced at Rick's expression, and continued: "You saw it in front of the Tianxuan Hall yesterday, the originally tense scene ended in the end, Qin Yao even expressed a friendly attitude towards the War God Temple, I am also very strange, but the inside story is only known to the elders, Si Ke Luo and Qin Yao, I can't find out." ”

Rick quickly turned the events back and forth in his mind: the Temple of War helped the Qin to defeat the Sidi coalition army and gain control of the Drinking Horse River, but then Sicoro killed the Qin envoys, and then Cain led a large number of men to the Temple of the God of War as if to take revenge. These events are linked, contradictory on the surface, and there seem to be traces in them.

After thinking like this for a moment, Rick asked, "Miss Long, if there is anything you need help with, please feel free to speak." ”

Long Yuyan sighed: "I just want to ask you to continue to take in Long Lan and the others, now I can't help myself, if they follow me, they will only fall into the same situation as me." ”

"It's the little things. But Miss Long, have you ever thought about leaving the Temple of War one day? ”

Long Yuyan immediately shook his head: "It's not time now, the ambition of the God of War Temple is too great, I don't want the master to fall into a catastrophe, I must stop him." ”

"I'm afraid that your obstruction will only cause harm to yourself."

"I'm going to give it a try, that's the only thing I can do at the moment."

Rick knew that he couldn't persuade Long Yuyan, so he had to sigh and stop talking.

"I have a letter here, please help me give it to Long Lan." Long Yuyan suddenly stood up and said, it seemed that he was ready to leave. Rick still wanted to keep it, but Long Yuyan looked very resolute, and Rick had to change the retention to send it off. Long Yuyan put on his cloak and turned around to walk out of the pavilion. But suddenly she stopped again, and it turned out that a person suddenly walked in the doorway, and Rick stepped forward to see that it was Chrissy.

Chrissy smiled at Rick, and then said to Long Yuyan, "My name is Chrissy, I want to talk to you, shall we go to the inner room?" ”

Long Yuyan was stunned, and Rick muttered, "What's the matter, do you have to hide and say it?" ”

Chrissy gave him a blank look and said, "Aren't you afraid to worry?" Isn't it good for me to worry about you? Why don't I go? ”

"Don't ...... Other...... I'm leaving, okay? Rick smiled, then turned to Long Yuyan and said, "You talk to my female military advisor slowly, I'll go first." After speaking, without waiting for Long Yuyan to answer, he strode out of the pavilion. (To be continued......)
