After getting out of the carriage, Zheng Wan went straight to Zheng Nangong's study.

"Steward Lin, is my father here? I have something important to do. Zheng Wan's attitude towards the old housekeeper has always been very respectful.

"Third Miss, are you looking for an adult?" The old housekeeper smiled kindly, "The lord is still in the early dynasty, and he has not returned to the house yet, and when he returns to the house, the old slave will go to find the third lady." ”

"No, I'll just wait here. By this hour, my father should be back soon. ”

"The old slave went and brought the stool."

"I'm tired."

Zheng Wan seemed a little anxious, her brows furrowed and furrowed, and she got up not long after sitting down, and kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard. Ning Yan couldn't help admiring this kid, he really had first-class acting skills, he was sad just now, but now he looks worried, it's really amazing.

She rarely came to this courtyard in the past, and she was not favored, so she was naturally low-key. After the second brother's accident, he became a frequent visitor here. Zheng Wan was thinking wildly in her heart.

"Your Excellency." The old butler's voice interrupted Zheng Wan's thoughts,

"Father." Zheng Wan took off her coat and hat and hurriedly greeted her.

"My lord, the third lady has been waiting for a long time."

"Father, my daughter has something important to say." Zheng Wan nodded to the old housekeeper,

"Let's go inside. Steward Lin, go down. ”

Zheng Wan followed Zheng Nangong into the house, and when she got inside, she deliberately looked around, and closed the door, "My daughter asks my father for peace." My father worked hard, and he came to disturb him before he had a little rest. ”

Zheng Nan waved his hand and walked to the desk, "Say, but what's the matter?" ”

Zheng Wan stepped forward and spoke very quickly, "I finally got a piece of news from that woman today, it is very important, but I feel a little absurd. I'm afraid it's fake, but if it's true, it's an opportunity. The daughter hurried back and thought that her father would decide. ”

"What?" Zheng Nangong was still as steady as Mount Tai, and asked flatly.

Zheng Wan frowned, her fingers kept disturbing, and she calmed down for a few minutes before she said, "She said, we can take back Yundu." ”

"Yundu? The city in charge of Li Yunzhi? ”

Exactly, she said that Yundu is no longer so impregnable, and now it is not Li Yunzhi who holds the real power of Yundu, the power is scattered, and there are great differences within Yundu, this is a great opportunity to regain it, but there is not much time left for this opportunity. Li Yunzhi's son has been attracting high-ranking officials for the Li family in Liangdu, I am afraid that it will not be long before the real power returns, and Yundu will still be that unbreakable myth. ”

"She's a woman who knows so well?" Zheng Nangong was a little disdainful.

Wan'er thought the same thing, what she said inexplicably couldn't be true. Thinking about where the clouds are, it is the most important stronghold in the northwest, and getting it is like a key vein of Liangchu. General Li is highly respected in Liangchu and has made great achievements, and Emperor Liang must have trusted him. How could he be stripped of his power. This woman was so clever that her daughter was confused for a while, and she asked her father not to blame. ”

"Respectable? Overhead power? Haha, maybe it's the master. This is not necessarily fake news. Zheng Nangong tapped the table lightly, "That's all she said?" ”

Zheng Wan nodded embarrassedly, "Yes, she only said that after the beginning of spring, it is the best time to attack Yundu, and if she misses it, Li Yunzhi's life should not be killed." The deployment of other border cities, weapons and equipment, and troop deployment, she means that she will tell us slowly. She wants to keep her children safe. ”

"It's not stupid to put the news little by little."

These words are the words of the woman's family, and I am afraid that she may not be biased towards us in her heart, and it is possible to deliberately frame us. This news is a real dilemma, whatever we do is at risk. On the way back, her daughter was terrified. I wonder what my father has planned? ”

"Oh, that's a problem. Liang Chu made a good move. ”

"Do you want to inform Your Majesty about this?"

"You go down first. Let me think about it. Zheng Nangong waved his hand and motioned for Zheng Wan to leave, he needed time to think about it.

Zheng Wan hesitated for a moment before she said, "Father, there is one more thing." ”

"What?"

The woman said that until she died, her children must be with her, or she would not tell us everything she knew. Father, I wonder if there is a problem with this? ”

"That's it, both of them are going to die anyway. It doesn't hurt to be together. ”

Zheng Wan was puzzled, "Actually, leaving that child behind can threaten that woman, maybe there will be more places to use." A newborn child can't make any big waves, so why rush to kill them all. ”

Zheng Nangong looked at Zheng Wan straightly, "This is what Your Majesty meant." Don't say that again. ”

"That being the case. The daughter retired. Zheng Wan didn't say anything more.

"Wait, don't tell a third person about this."

"No. That's right. The eldest brother's child is about to be born, and it is a recent thing to think about it. My brother is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating, and he is about to become a father. My daughter went to Yundeguan yesterday and begged for blessings for her sister-in-law and eldest brother, and she also asked for blessings. Zheng Wan deliberately mentioned Zheng Pingcheng, if he is a general, a happy event in his family, he must have some scruples in his heart, not to mention that he has to face the rumored person like the god of war, the odds of victory are naturally a few points less, and at this time, let the eldest brother go, it is not the best candidate. Zheng Wan didn't want her eldest brother to get this military merit in vain, and it was difficult for her to profit from it.

Zheng Nangong nodded, "Wan'er really has a heart." Let's go see my sister-in-law, it's boring to stay in the room all day. As a younger sister, she should be accompanied more. ”

"What my father said was that it was Wan'er's negligence. The daughter went down first. Zheng Wan said no more and turned to leave.

On the way back to the courtyard, Zheng Wan seemed to be in a good mood, Ning Yan stared at Zheng Wan's side face, this news Zheng Wan was a whole month late, and she was really patient. A one-month postponement? What is she doing this for?

Ning Yan thought about it carefully. Maybe it makes the third son's expedition more logical. Zheng Wan mentioned the child just now, but in fact, it didn't mean that the eldest prince was not suitable to go on the expedition. It is difficult to distinguish whether this news is true or false, and Emperor Qin Wen may not believe it. Even if you believe it, if you win the battle, then the glory is naturally indispensable, and if you lose the battle, it is difficult to say, and the consequences can be big or small. If it is said to be big, it can even be crowned with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and if it is trivialized, it is nothing more than misbelieving the information.

To say it and not to say it is indeed a dilemma. Not to mention, on the one hand, the Zheng family is unwilling to miss this great opportunity in vain, on the other hand, if Emperor Qin Wen learns about this from others, it will be the Zheng family who suffers. Say, then you have to send troops, who will be the general? Let people other than the Zheng family fight, it may not be true to fight, after all, not winning will not harm their interests, Li Yunzhi's reputation is too loud, it has a deterrent effect on everyone, and he needs a person who is extremely strong in his heart, not afraid of rumors, and knows the art of war, and is loyal to the Zheng family, and this best candidate is Zheng Pingxin, the third son of the Zheng family. The eldest prince has a lot of achievements and seems to be very suitable, but at this time, the son-in-law is about to be born, and he is naturally uneasy. The third prince has been on an errand in the palace all the year round, and he has military merits Liao Liao, and it is a good experience to send troops to fight, if he wins, he can not only capture Yundu, but also make miraculous achievements, if he loses, it is just that the Zheng family does not hesitate to risk his life for the sake of Daqin. Ning Yan figured it out, and couldn't help but smile, she had known this result for a long time, and she thought about it, this Zheng Wan's mind was really unfathomable, every step was in her calculations, she was afraid that she would see Zheng Nangong's mind clearly, if he was a man in this life, he would have an infinite future.

"Miss." Qiu Qi saw Zheng Wan enter the courtyard with a happy look and greeted him, "But what's the good thing?"

"Talk."

"Yes, yes, the slave just boiled some soup. The young lady has not eaten since the morning. ”

"It's nice to have you around." Zheng Wan shook Qiu Qi's hand.

"It's the duty of a slave." Qiu Qi had a bright smile on her face, and she felt that everything was worth it when she could be praised by the young lady.

"You go and sneak a peek to see if the third young master has come back. If the master summons him to the study, he will come back and tell me. ”

"No."

Zheng Wan pushed the door in, took the soup on the table, blew it gently, and took a sip, it was very fragrant, and Qiu Qi's craftsmanship was getting better and better. Drink a whole bowl of soup, gently tap the table, and wait.

"Miss. As soon as I entered the garden, I saw the third young master, who was rushing to the master's study. Qiu Qi came back not long after, leaning on Zheng Wan's ear and whispering.

Zheng Wan smiled, really, she knows her father too well, he will not let go of this opportunity easily, and he will not trust outsiders, I am afraid that this battle will not be avoided, and then it will depend on the creation of the third brother, winning has a bright future, and losing ...... You can't lose. The clouds must be taken down. Third brother, I'm sorry, you are my best pawn. You have to win. Zheng Wan's eyebrows were firm. "These days, it's time for the young grandmother to give birth, right?"

"Well, the slave maid listened to those people in the front yard and said that His Majesty specially allowed the imperial doctor to come, and he has been preparing in the courtyard these days, and he will receive the midwife in the next two days. It seems that she will be born a year ago. Qiu Qi said as he neatly cleaned up the table. Miss, it's time to visit. In the past few days, the third lady has been very diligent. ”

Zheng Wan nodded, "I know, you should hurry up about it these days." If there is any difficulty for me, I will think of a solution. ”

"The slave will definitely do this and that. The slaves and maids in the surrounding cities have also dredged up the relationship. ”

"Good. Find some herbs and give birth to them. ”

"No."

Zheng Wan stood up and leaned against the window. "Winter is not suitable for war, after the beginning of spring is a good season, from the garrison of Jiangcheng to the Yundu border march at least a month, it takes a month to be ready, these few days to discuss the fear that it will be the end of the month after the New Year, to arrive at the Jiangdu where the army is located is fast is ten days, slow is half a decade, Emperor Qin Wen is anxious, afraid that the third brother will go to Jiangdu before the New Year, this is good. What happened in this prison has nothing to do with him. If you want to pinch and rob the prison, one of the four masters in Tingwei Temple can be missing. Zheng Wan rubbed her forehead, if the second brother was here, he would definitely be able to think of a foolproof way, but he was still not sure enough, there was always an element of gambling luck. Second brother, you must help me.
