Chapter 34: The Little White Flower (34)
This is Si Jing's tent.
After she calmed down, she searched carefully, and sure enough, she found something unusual, an open envelope, and of course the letter inside was gone.
It stands to reason.
can write a letter to Si Jing, except for the eldest princess who is the crown prince, but neither of them has a reason to do so, not to mention that the former is still her mother, even if she sends a letter, she will not be missing.
There was a problem in the letter.
But Yin Cai didn't even know who sent the letter now, let alone the content of the letter, so he touched the hot pearl on his neck, pondered for a while, and strode to the door.
As soon as I lifted the curtain.
bumped into Wang Shan, who came to deliver food.
Her eyes lit up, and after hurriedly letting the other party in, she hurried up and asked, "What happened in the barracks, why are you so panicked all of a sudden?" ”
Wang Shan put down the rice plate.
His eyes noticed the empty envelope on the table, and after picking it up, he was silent for a while before he raised his head and said, "The eldest princess sent you a letter." ”
"And then?"
"The content of the letter is that the imperial court has decided to cede the border city and no longer supply grain and grass, and now all the people in the border city are cannon fodder, she asked you to find an opportunity to return to the capital alone quickly."
Hear out.
Yin Cai sat down slowly, his fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, suddenly stopped, looked at Wang Shan, and asked, "Is Bai Ru still in the inn now?" ”
"I don't know."
Wang Shan's voice was a little dull.
In the past five years, the four of them have advanced and retreated together, even if they know that Yin Cai is the county lord, Zhou Ran has to give her some face, but she has not felt much about the difference in identity.
But until now.
It turned out that after losing the battle, Yin Cai could go back to the capital and continue to be her county lord, while herself, her sister and others could only wait for the grain and grass that would never come, and in despair, she watched Beiran break the city and become cannon fodder.
He sighed.
Although some lament the unfair fate, but there is nothing to be done, my parents have died, except for the border city, I and my sister have nowhere to go, and we can keep it for a day.
But there is really no need to drag others to accompany the funeral.
Wang Shan had already thought about it, and there was no sense of self-sacrifice at this time, only a helplessness to be pushed forward by fate and upbringing from childhood to adulthood.
Take out the small baggage hidden in your arms.
While handing it to Yin Cai, he said quickly: "When the evening comes, I will find a way to send you away, you go back to the capital quickly, be careful along the way." ”
"Isn't this your private money, what are you doing for me?"
Yin Cai opened the small baggage, and there was a mess of everything in it, a few pieces of snacks, a pile of straw paper, a bottle of gold sore medicine, a little bit of jewelry, and a dozen taels of broken silver.
Hear the words.
Wang Shan looked at the door vigilantly, then turned around and said anxiously: "You are stupid, now the content of the letter has spread all over the city, and the people in the entire barracks know it." The reason why General Zhou put you under house arrest is to bet that your mother is reluctant to let you go, and will send someone to send grain and grass. ”
"But the border city is so far away from the capital, it's too late to come and go, to put it bluntly, it's just that you are buried alone, anyway, I don't need this money, you keep it on the road."
He was worried, and the plan was quite comprehensive.
It's a pity that I don't need all of them.
Yin Cai smiled, retied the baggage, put it on the table, and asked casually, "Hey, then why are you helping-"
The words are not finished.
Facing Shangwang Mountain's unconscious burning gaze, she suddenly shut up, silently took half a step back, swallowed her saliva, rubbed her face, and made an unusually serious expression with her facial features.
said: "The letter is fake. ”
"What?"
Before she had time to think about her move of taking half a step back, Wang Shan was shocked by the news.
Yin Cai explained seriously: "First, my mother is the main battle faction, and her power is not small, as long as she lives, the imperial court will never make a decision to abandon the border city. ”
"Second, this letter was obviously written to me, why I didn't receive it, but it caused a storm in the city, it is because this letter is a bureau, a bureau that shakes the morale of the military."
After listening to the analysis.
Wang Shan's eyes widened, feeling that it made a lot of sense, then slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Then I'll go and tell General Zhou and let him restore your freedom." ”
"Can't look for him!"
Yin Cai hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Wang Shan, rubbed his eyebrows, and then explained: "This is a yang conspiracy, to make it clear, it's all the same if you can't tell it, he will still put me under house arrest." ”
Don't say that Zhou Ran was originally prejudiced against her.
Even if you believe it, it's useless, because there are thousands of soldiers, and rumors are fiercer than tigers, especially when life and death are at stake.
As a general, Zhou Ran's house arrest is the best solution, first, the letter is true, and the eldest princess can be forced to deal with the border city, which is fake, and everyone is happy. Second, let everyone know that she is in the barracks, and she can also stabilize the morale of the army.
But this is contrary to her interests.
Yin Cai touched the pearl on his neck, and after thinking about it, he lowered his voice, and after saying something to Wang Shan, he urged him to leave.
Evening.
The curtain opened again.
Wang Shan came in with a plate of rice and immediately said: "You're right, Bai Ru disappeared from the inn, and I went to check the warehouse, Sister Jing really asked for a set of Beiran clothes and daggers before leaving, she is not a deserter, she is going to Beiran." ”
In addition to the news that the imperial court was going to give up the border city, the city was full of wind and rain.
Then there is Si Jing, she left suddenly without a sound, no one does not suspect that she knew the news in advance and fled to the capital alone.
But actually.
The letter was fake though.
Si Jing is very likely to believe that under the premise of no supply of food and grass, if she wants to break the situation quickly, she can only let something happen to Beiran, and the simplest thing is undoubtedly Tulu's violent death.
I'm afraid she went to the enemy camp alone to assassinate Tulu.
It was getting late at this time, Yin Cai didn't have time to say more, and after exchanging clothes, he was about to leave.
"Hey!"
Wang Shan suddenly stopped her and asked with some puzzlement: "Even if Sister Jing goes to the enemy camp in Beiran, what is the use of you going again, it will increase the risk of exposure." ”
It doesn't matter if she's dead.
If the Lady of Luck dies, the mission will fail.
Yin Cai straightened her hat and said in a solemn tone: "Because, although Bai Ru's actions are despicable, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, I'm afraid that when she set up this bureau, she already thought that Si Jing would assassinate Tulu alone." ”
"In short, that letter is the first bureau, in order to shake the hearts of the army, and the second bureau hidden in it is aimed at Si Jing, please enter the urn."
Explained.
She left without looking back.
At the moment when the curtain was lifted and the soldiers guarding outside passed by, the voice of "Yin Cai" came from the camp tent: "Oh, hey, come on, you all come in for me!" ”
