The more Murong Chong spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had seen the collapse of the Beiqi Iron Cavalry!

The concise map couldn't restrain his surging passion, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the other two paths depicted by cinnabar: "This road, which needs to pass through Beiqi, is dangerous, but it is the most likely route for Tang Xiao to choose." It would be most bad for them to bump into Midu. With Tang Xiao's eloquence and the city government, you will definitely be able to convince Midu to form an alliance with them, and it should also have the greatest impact on your original plan. However, neither the Ji family nor we are suitable to come forward, so as not to be self-defeating. So I think you should let Li Yan arrange it. Since he can be on an equal footing with Mito, and even more trusted by Miri, he definitely has this strength. Moreover, it is precisely because he comes to watch and monitor that it will not arouse suspicion - he and Midu are fighting openly and secretly, which should have been well known in Beiqi, and Miri is naturally happy to watch the tiger fight. ”

Regarding Murong Chong's suggestion, Lin Ruoshen agreed.

No matter what country or what dynasty, the art of checks and balances is a skill that the supreme autocratic will definitely master, if not, then this position will neither sit firmly nor sit for long.

"As for this last one," Murong Chong smiled confidently, "You asked Leng Shu to see Li Yan, firstly, to spread the news, and secondly, to let him pay attention to whether Tang Xiao and Song Huanchu would use tricks to get through, right?" There is no need to arrange too many people along the way, just enough for scheduling, and it will not be overstretched. ”

Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile and admiration: "It is worthy of being the fourth brother!" I thought about it for so many days before I made these arrangements, but I didn't expect it to be broken by you, fourth brother. ”

Murong Chong said with a straight face: "No, it should be that I admire you." There are so many roads to Danzhou, but you can choose these three and arrange them properly. It's not that I'm humble, so strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, I may not be able to match you. ”

Lin Ruo smiled, as if Murong Chong's heartfelt admiration was just a joking word: "Fourth brother, this is too humble, how can I be as powerful as you say?" It's just talk on paper, and the class has an axe. If you praise me so much, I'll take it seriously! In business, I can still beat you; But if it is about the use of soldiers, let alone you, even if it is the fifth lady of the Qu family, I am beyond my reach. ”

Murong Chong didn't know why Lin Ruo mentioned the fifth lady of the Qu family, Qu Xiaoxiang, but he really had a few encounters with the queen mother's niece and granddaughter, the general's tiger daughter Qu Xiaoxiang.

At that time, Qu Xiaoxiang was still young, but he was already familiar with military books, and he had already begun to attain the arrangement of troops, and the Duke of Dian even personally ordered a team of 50 people to her, named "Yanling Army".

Now the number of this "Yanling Army" has increased to 500 people, and he has repeatedly made military exploits in guarding southern Xinjiang, and Emperor Mingzong specially assassinated the "Governor of Fengyang" and her, she is also the only woman with military power in Donglu, but everyone is still used to calling her "Fengyang County Lord".

"I once heard people in the palace say that the emperor once wanted her to be the princess, but she was too young to mention it; Later, because he followed the Duke of Dian and Zhennan to guard the border of southern Xinjiang, he was delayed. ”

Murong Chong was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Lin Ruo to mention this matter, and when he met the clear eyes that seemed to be smiling, the usual words of prevarication were stuck in his throat and couldn't speak, and even he himself was a little shocked.

Emperor Mingzong did talk to him about this matter in private, but he refused, just as the reason for refusing the emperor's other marriages was a reason - he already had a favorite woman in his heart, and he would not marry her.

But unexpectedly, he suddenly killed Lin Ruo, and actually persuaded Emperor Mingzong to come to a public marriage that caught him off guard, and because the prince wanted to recruit the Lin family, he had to accept the order.

Maybe this is providence......

However, in hindsight, it seems that it is a good providence.

The corners of Murong Chong's mouth were imperceptibly hooked, he looked at Lin Ruo, and said solemnly: "The Lord of Fengyang County was born in the Jiangmen family, is proficient in the art of war formation, and guards the southern frontier with the Duke of Dian State, so he has the opportunity to come to the battlefield in person. Although she herself is not familiar with martial arts, she has a bit of the demeanor of a military advisor. However, if it is against you, it may not be able to gain the upper hand. ”

"Really?" Lin Ruo blinked his eyes slyly, "What the fourth brother said is true?" ”

Murong Chong nodded firmly: "I've never heard that the county lord of Fengyang can draw the march map of the two armies against each other in less than a moment, one city, one pool, mountains and rivers, without making mistakes." ”

Lin Ruo covered his mouth and smiled: "Fourth brother, are you not praising me for using soldiers like a god, but praising me for being a painter with the army, right?" ”

"That's a bit too big and too much."

"As long as the fourth brother is not jealous." The eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of imperceptible restraint in his cunning eyes.

Murong Chong was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but feel a faint sour feeling in his heart.

"Ah Ruo, I ......"

"Fourth brother, you called the wrong name."

Lin Ruo raised his hand and interrupted Murong Chong: "I said, if there is anything I said, I will tell you directly." And, what I'm telling you, must be the truth. ”

Murong Chong nodded, and when he was interrupted like this, the words that he wanted to say impulsively were suppressed back. After being silent for a long time, I didn't know whether I was glad or frustrated that I couldn't say those words, so I could only divert the topic and say: "I will ask someone to bring a secret letter to Xu Zhan." ”

"Well," Lin Ruo replied calmly, smiling softly, "I hope everything goes well, although I don't have time to see Sister Qing's child born, but at least I can go back to celebrate the birthday of the imperial grandmother and accompany Xiao Qi to watch the lantern festival." ”

Murong Chong's gaze also softened, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "It will definitely be as you wish." ”

The five-day covenant will soon come.

And before that, Leng Shu came with a news that made Lin Ruo and Murong Chong a little relieved - Tang Xiao and Song Huan Chu had their whereabouts, and their choices were under Lin Ruo's control.

Just when they chose to make a detour to Beiqi and venture to Danzhou, before they met Midu, Li Yan's people discovered their traces and cleverly "invited" them to follow Miri's team.

However, Lin Ruo did not let Leng Shu come back, and still left Leng Shu on Li Yan's side, because she trusted Leng Shu, his loyalty, and his strength—a strength that would never be discovered by Tang Xiao and his killers.

Similarly, Lin Ruo also believes in Li Yan, with his talent and skill, it is definitely a piece of cake to deal with Tang Xiao and Song Huan Chu.

Lin Ruo and Murong Chong finished breakfast at Ji Mansion, and then rode in a carriage towards Hu Yan.

This time, not only did Lin Ruo not forget to explain to Murong Chong how to act, but Murong Chong also actively asked Lin Ruo how to tacitly cooperate with this trip.

Because he said in advance that there would be an accident today, so when Steward Wang and Na Ye paid the money with one hand, delivered the goods with the other, and successfully ordered the next fur business, Murong Chong was still a little surprised-what about the accident?
