Chapter 557: Border News
Zhao Ruxi did not return overnight after entering the palace yesterday. Although the palace and the household department sent people to the mansion to inform the people of the Suiping Bo Mansion, saying that Zhao Ruxi helped the household department calculate the amount of grain and grass and needed to go home today, the old lady, Zhao Yuanxun, and Zhu were still worried for a night.
At this time, everyone was relieved to see Zhao Ruxi coming back with a bunch of rewards.
Hearing that she hadn't slept all night last night, everyone was very distressed.
The old lady said, "Hurry up and eat, go to sleep after eating." ”
Zhao Ruxi was physically and mentally exhausted, so he asked his subordinates to take their meals to the bamboo cultivation courtyard, and after a hasty meal, he called them out.
She didn't sleep after eating, and practiced more than a dozen words in the study, and felt that her wrist was about to be broken, so she stopped.
On the second day, Xiao Lingyan and Zhang Changshen set off with the newly raised fifteen carts of grain and grass and the original grain and grass.
After they left Beijing, the capital was quiet, and the ministers who usually liked to fight for tat in the court did not come out to make trouble, and the lively banquets held by wealthy families at this time every year were gone. Everyone was anxiously waiting for news from the border gates.
The banquet was canceled, and Zhao Ruxi naturally didn't have to worry about whether to go to the banquet or not. She doesn't go anywhere every day, swiping as many points as she can.
Zhao Ruxi used to mainly read books to prepare for the imperial examination; When I am tired of reading, I practice calligraphy, draw, and brush points.
But now it's reversed, and it's mainly about brushing points. When she was tired of writing and drawing, she read books.
She has to ask the system twice a day: "How many princes have any unfavorable actions against Xiao Lingyan?" Is Xiao Lingyan good at the border? ”
The system also knows that if something happens to Xiao Lingyan, its host may not marry in this life. Even if you marry, how can you marry a prince?
Therefore, it also tries to help find out the news every day. If there is no valuable news, it will not accept Zhao Ruxi's points; The messages collected are also based on the amount of energy it takes to get them, and the price is very reasonable.
Half a month later, it said a valuable news: "Host, someone wanted to drug the diet of the five princes, and before it was delivered to the five princes, it was found out by the secret guards of the five princes." ”
"The Five Princes have arrived at the border pass. Today, someone pretended to be a refugee, wanted to win the sympathy of the five princes, and wanted to get close to the five princes to be unfavorable to him, but Lord Zhang Changshen saw through it at a glance and was directly arrested and interrogated. However, that person should be a dead man, and when he saw that he couldn't escape, he directly bit the poison and committed suicide. "This is news more than a month later.
"Today, there was a royal forest army who saw that the five princes were finally left alone, and wanted to attack him, but as soon as he made a move, he was directly captured by the secret guards of the five princes. It was the guards of the five princes who found out that something was wrong with that person and deliberately lured him to attack. The guards of the Cen family who gave it to the five princes were very regretful, saying that they had no chance to make a move. "This is news after another half a month.
In addition, as soon as the five princes arrived at the border pass, they called craftsmen to start casting arrows and crossbows day and night, and the newly made trebuchet was also transported to the battlefield, and Fu Yunkai fought a big victory today. The enemy lost 7,000 men directly, and our army did not lose a single one because of the use of trebuchets and new arrows and crossbows. Fu Dayong has already asked for credit for the five princes on the good news. ”
Zhao Ruxi listened to this news, and his originally nervous heart gradually calmed down.
She knew that those arrows, crossbows and trebuchets had been made by Xiao Lingyan a long time ago. Now he pretends to be inspired and remakes, which naturally has his intentions. These new weapons must be used on the battlefield, and the credit cannot be taken away by others.
And the people around Xiao Lingyan are very powerful, and the few pills he took don't seem to come in handy. That's a good thing. 118
In addition to telling her Xiao Lingyan's news, the system also listened to the news of the crown prince, the third prince and the fourth prince according to her instructions.
If there is important news, Zhao Ruxi will put a pot of flowers on the windowsill of the room where Qingfeng is asking to deliver the news, and the ordinary-looking secret guard Wu Wei left by Xiao Lingyan will appear, and Zhao Ruxi will hand him the letters written in several foreign languages.
However, given that Xiao Lingyan's situation at the border pass is quite good, and it is not particularly important news, Zhao Ruxi will not write to him.
At this time, it was particularly inconvenient to send the letter, and it was necessary to set off from the capital quickly, and it took more than 20 days to reach the border pass. And that's when all goes well. If there is a snowstorm on the road, or something else, the delay of the letter is a small matter; It is difficult to say whether the soldier who delivered the letter died halfway through.
Zhao Ruxi sent a letter to Xiao Lingyan, but there was no need to let people run away. Xiao Lingyan is at the border, and Xiao Lingpu naturally needs to keep in touch with him at any time, so Zhao Ruxi's letters are all accompanied by Xiao Lingpu's letters.
Zhao Ruxi asked Wu Wei curiously: "How did the fifth prince explain my letter to the second prince?" ”
She knew that the emperor was a very suspicious creature. Xiao Lingpu is not an emperor yet, so there may not be this problem. But when he ascended the throne one day and remembered that Xiao Lingyan was at the border, someone avoided him to write a letter to Xiao Lingyan in other languages, and he would inevitably have a pimple in his heart.
Xiao Lingyan is the same kind of person as her. He is thoughtful, and he also likes to take one step and see ten steps. Before leaving, he must have handed over the original intelligence collection system to Xiao Lingpu. Only her letters, because they were in a foreign language, were very different.
She wanted to know how Xiao Lingyan explained.
"His Royal Highness told His Second Highness that he had a girl he liked, and he would send him a letter from time to time. When the time comes, please ask His Royal Highness to send him this letter by the way. Wu Wei said, "Therefore, His Royal Highness has great respect for the girl's letter, and he has never opened the envelope to read it." ”
"Does Your Highness know that it was me who wrote the letter? Did he check on me? She asked again.
This question, she not only asked Wu Wei, but also asked the system to check it in her mind.
"I shouldn't know, and our people didn't find out that His Royal Highness was investigating the girl." Wu Weidao.
Zhao Ruxi also got the news found by the system in his mind, and the answer was the same as Wu Wei.
Zhao Ruxi was relieved at this time.
She asked Wu Wei again: "If I get the news, someone wants to harm His Royal Highness and wants to send him a message." Through your transmission, will he find out that it is me who delivered the message? ”
After saying that, she added: "I don't want to expose myself." ”
Wu Wei, as a secret guard and a dead soldier, only served his master all his life. Anything else was not on his radar.
Now his master has asked him to swear allegiance to Zhao Ruxi, so Zhao Ruxi is his only master. Xiao Lingpu, he doesn't care.
Zhao Ruxi raised this question, and he only thought about it in this direction.
He said: "Don't worry, girl, in order to prevent others from discovering the relationship between the girl and His Highness, we all turned a few corners to spread the news." The same is true of the girl's letters. No matter how much others follow the vine, they can't find the girl. ”
