Chapter 116: A Sudden Change in the Situation (2)
When Zhao Yu's men chased after him, Zhou Jinhuan was so frightened that she sweated, and reflexively touched her face, while Xiao Jingzhi took her hand: "Your human skin mask is very good." ”
"General Xiao, the emperor has an order to let you go back to the palace, and please cooperate. "The leader is Wei Weiqing Zhang Min, who is mainly guarding the palace.
The voice outside the curtain reached Zhou Jinhuan's ears, and she was nervous, pulling Xiao Jingzhi's sleeve and shaking her head constantly, but he still gave her a reassuring smile, just like usual, and said in her ear: "Don't worry, Zhao Yu has just named me the general of Zhenguo, and now he will never do anything to me, the carriage will return to our mansion in a while, and you will find a chance to escape, you know?"
"I'm tired of Lord Zhang. Without waiting for Zhou Jinhuan to answer, he stepped out of the carriage, and after saluting Zhang Min, he did not return to the carriage, but rode his own horse.
When they left Yecheng, they were in a hurry overnight, and now they have Zhao Yu's imperial order in their bodies, and the speed is also fast.
"Is there anyone else in General Xiao's carriage?" After waiting for the gate of Yecheng, Zhang Min asked General Xiao such an inconsequential word, and Zhou Jinhuan, who was sitting in the carriage, rubbed his sleeves tightly and bit his lower lip.
"It's my personal maid, it's better to let her go back to Xiao Mansion first. If the cloud is light and light, it seems that the person in the carriage has nothing to do with him, but Zhang Min said: "The emperor only said that the group of people who went to Yecheng should go to the palace to wait, and I just obey orders, can General Xiao understand?"
Everyone has said so, what else can be done, after all, he didn't come alone, and now he is in Yecheng, not the world that he Xiao Jingzhi knows.
The carriage came to the palace leisurely, Xiao Jingzhi got off the horse, said a few words to Zhang Min, and then jumped into the carriage, looked at Zhou Jinhuan, who was very nervous, and comforted her: "Silly madam, I have told you, don't worry so much, I will be fine, you just find a chance to escape, don't worry about me, you know?"
He thought that he didn't have any handle in Zhao Yu's hands, so he was quite calm when he left, kissed her forehead lightly, and entered the palace first.
Xiao Jingzhi's every word, Zhou Jinhuan remembered in her heart, so she kept looking for another chance to escape, but God didn't give her that chance.
Xiao Jingzhi entered the main hall with the front foot, and the back foot of the carriage was brought into the palace, if Su Wan or Ah Cheng were there, she could escape, but no, only her, only she who didn't know martial arts.
"This girl, the emperor ordered you to go to the back garden. A new-eyed eunuch came over, followed by two rows of little eunuchs, and she wanted to resist, but she didn't seem to have much chance.
The back garden is a place where she has been here before, but it was only half a year ago, and now that she thinks about it, it seems like a world away.
"Can you retreat first, the forbidden place of the palace, it's good that I don't walk around, a group of you people surround me, I'm very uncomfortable. "She has the right to express herself, but they also have the right not to listen, so her words become a deaf ear to them.
On this side, Zhou Jinhuan was surrounded by a bunch of eunuchs, and on the other side, Xiao Jingzhi was brought to Zhao Yu by Zhang Min.
"I don't know what happened when the emperor urgently summoned Weichen back?" As soon as Zhang Min went down, Xiao Jingzhi asked straight to the point, without a little detour.
"General Xiao has been on a journey for a long time, and I shouldn't have summoned you back, but I suddenly heard something here, and I want to hear you tell me the truth in person. Zhao Yu drank tea slowly, but looked at Xiao Jingzhi's eyes very sharply: "General Xiao, have you ever heard of the battle of Shengle?"
"The battle of Shengle is a key step in turning the tide of the entire Shuozhou war, and Weichen has naturally heard of it. "What should come will always come, but he didn't expect Zhao Yu to use this matter as a breakthrough.
"I heard about a version, I don't know if it's true or not, and I asked General Xiao to give me some advice. Zhao Yu slowly walked down the steps and stood opposite Xiao Jingzhi, his voice was cold: "According to the Xianbei Dynasty, the person who led hundreds of soldiers to capture Shengle City was General Xiao, I remember clearly, General Xiao was arranged by me to relieve the siege of Zhangzhou City, I don't know if I remember it wrong?"
"Your Majesty is not wrong, and neither are the rumors of the Xianbei Dynasty. Xiao Jingzhi knelt down as he spoke, and his tone was very flat: "At the beginning, Weichen was in Zhangzhou City, and received a letter from General Zhang, and the minister thought of the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao. ”
"General Xiao's every word is very reasonable, but can anyone testify for you?" Zhao Yu has always been a difficult person, if he was convinced by a few simple words, he would not sit on the throne of Dayan.
"In the battle of Zhangzhou City, Weichen has always been there, and the people of Zhangzhou City can testify to the ministers; as for the battle of Shengle, General Zhang himself is a witness. "He trusts Vice General Cong and Zhang Zilang very much, and neither of them will betray him.
But he still missed someone else.
"Has General Xiao forgotten the Tayi tribe?" Zhao Yu's words made Xiao Jingzhi's face change instantly, most of the Xianbei soldiers who had seen him had seen the king of Hades now, but what about the people of the Tayi tribe, not to mention anyone else, just that the old chief was a very headache existence.
"Your Majesty is really familiar with the battle of Shengle, but Weichen doesn't know what other Tayi tribe is, is that the nomadic people in the west?"
"I have sent someone to the Tayi tribe a few days ago, in order to show the hospitality of our Dayan, but also brought a lot of rare treasures, although the Tayi tribe is a barbarian, but very simple, their old chief in order to express gratitude, has repaired the book to Yecheng, said to visit Dayan, General Xiao might as well stay in Yecheng for a few days, so that the old chief can see what the real General Xiao is?"
When Zhao Yu said this, it was no longer a temptation, but he was pressing step by step, he had been far away in Yecheng, and he really didn't know everything about the front line, but he had brains, he knew that although Zhang Zilang was brave and strategic, he led five hundred people to attack the capital of Xianbei, and he Zhang Zilang didn't have the courage.
"I didn't participate in the Battle of Shengle in the first place, so it's more appropriate for General Zhang to participate in these things. "In this case, you must not show cowardice, Xiao Jingzhi is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, so he can naturally do it quietly.
Zhao Yu didn't answer, the words fell to the ground, if others were afraid that they would have to say a few more words to cover it up, but Xiao Jing knew that he wouldn't, Zhao Yu didn't speak, so he wouldn't say it.
"According to what you say, it is indeed Zhang Zilang who is more suitable. In the end, Zhao Yu spoke first, but what he said was a little interesting, he naturally wouldn't believe Xiao Jingzhi's words, but he didn't have to debunk him: "When there are most things in Shuozhou, you can go back to Shuozhou." ”
Zhao Yu was going to let him go, but even Xiao Jingzhi didn't quite understand what he meant: the matter of the Mo Fei Tayi clan was just a casual remark by him, and he didn't come to Yecheng at all?
"Yes, Wechen obeyed. Suppressing that curiosity, Xiao Jing knew that the main hall was out.
When he came out, he only saw the carriage and the little spot sitting in the carriage, and she was not there.
"What about the people in the carriage?" he asked casually, not thinking about the bad result, but Xiao Ban gave him bad news: "There was an old eunuch who led the girl away just now, and I don't know what to do......"
"How long have you been there, is there only one eunuch?" Xiao Jingzhi was obviously panicked, and grabbed Xiao Ban's collar, Xiao Ban had never seen Xiao Jingzhi so flustered, and he was also a little scared in his heart: "No...... No, the old eunuch was followed by two rows of little eunuchs, it is estimated that she has some status, the girl has been gone for some hours, general, you walked on the front foot, and her back foot was taken away......"
Now Xiao Jingzhi understood: presumably Zhao Yu had already been to the Xiao Mansion, and had already discovered the stand-in in the mansion, so he hurriedly asked them to come back.
"General, why don't we look for that girl?" Xiao Ban said uncertainly, but was reprimanded by Xiao Jingzhi: "This palace belongs to the emperor, you said that if you are looking for someone, you will find someone, what should you use the palace for?"
"But that girl ......" Xiao Ban wanted to say something, but Xiao Jingzhi waved his hand and said in a very helpless tone: "She's just one of my maids, even if she loses it, will the emperor take this matter seriously?"
Maybe Zhao Yu will take the opportunity to send two or three maids by his side to facilitate his surveillance, which will outweigh the losses.
"Let's go back to Shuozhou City. This is the only thing he can do now, he wants to go back, he wants to use his army to deter Zhao Yu, so that he does not dare to make a move against Zhou Jinhuan.
As soon as they left the palace gate, Zhao Yu changed out of his cumbersome court clothes and went to the back garden.
In the back garden, except for the emperor's order, no one can trespass, and naturally there is only Zhou Jinhuan with an ordinary face at this time.
"The emperor has arrived. It was Xiao Mencius's voice, and Jinhuan was really nervous next week.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor. When the commoners saw the emperor, they all wanted to make a big salute, and she just bent her knees slightly, and when she reacted to kneel, Zhao Yu's warm hand had already wrapped around her waist, and said in her ear: "I see that this girl is very familiar, did she be on duty in the back garden before?"
These words calmed Zhou Jinhuan's originally frantic heart a little bit: maybe he really thought about it too much, and he didn't realize that he was Zhou Jinhuan at all?
After all, she is still wearing a human skin mask, that human skin mask Xiao Jingzhi has used it, Chen has used it, and no one has found out, Rao is how smart Zhao Yu is, and it is impossible to find out that the person in Xiao Mansion is a stand-in so quickly, yes, absolutely.
"Presumably the emperor recognized the wrong person, the slave maid strayed into the back garden, the slave maid will leave now...... she was playing clever, but Zhao Yu didn't let her go and smiled at her.
To be honest, Zhao Yu still looks good when he laughs, but he laughs at Zhou Jin very few times, which also makes her even more scared, and she is about to leave here when she speeds up her pace, but is stopped by the eunuch.
"Go down first, and you will not be allowed to come in without my orders. Zhao Yu's voice sounded behind her, and she was about to follow them together, but Zhao Yu pinched her wrist, his breath lingered behind her ears, and the voice was close at hand: "Zhou Jinhuan, where are you going to run?"
