A good night's sleep.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Xiwu turned over to the outside as usual. When she saw the person lying across from her, she almost exclaimed.

But fortunately, the memories of yesterday returned to the brain, and the feet that had been curled up due to nervousness also relaxed.

Even, Gu Xiwu was still looking at Mo Xuanyin's sleeping face. The eyelashes are very long, and the face is also good-looking, if it is not too repulsive to be thousands of miles away, it is estimated that she will be tired enough even if she chops peach blossoms over the years.

"Do you like to see me so much?"

Gu Xiwu was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even react when the person opposite opened his eyes.

"Huh?" was called back to his soul by this sound that seemed to be laughing, and Gu Xiwu hurriedly turned his face: "That, I just want to wake you up, it's not too early, we have to go back quickly!" ”

"That's it!" Mo Xuanyin's tone was a little disappointed: "I thought it was my face that was obsessed with the queen?" ”

"Frivolous!" Gu Xiwu was pierced by her thoughts, and she seemed a little at a loss, and the whole person jumped out of bed directly over Mo Xuanyin: "Hurry up!" ”

Mo Xuanyin half-leaned on the bed, looking at her back, with a hint of relief on her face.

The two of them moved quickly, and rushed back to Kyoto before noon.

Gao Qi, who had already received the news, and some other important ministers of the inner court were already waiting at the gate of the palace, and as soon as they saw the two people getting out of the carriage, they immediately greeted them.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang!"

"What's going on?"

Mo Xuanyin stood in place, looking at their expressions, and felt that something might have happened to him on this day's journey.

"Lanling's spies replied, saying that since Shen Mengxian went back, Lanling has not been peaceful!" Gao Qi lowered his head, he had actually reported this matter to Mo Xuanyin, but now the matter has far exceeded his original expectations.

"Didn't you say it at the beginning, as for you guys making such a fuss?"

Mo Xuanyin remembered that it seemed that someone had reported this incident the night he arrested the Great Elder.

"Yesterday the spies came with news that Lanling was buying pig iron, sulfur and charcoal on a large scale. There are some other items, and now the whole Lan Ling is empty, and even from South Vietnam and some small countries are trying to figure it out. Looks like they need those things very much, I'm afraid, this time they're coming straight to us! ”

Gao Qi carefully analyzed the recent situation, although Lanling is not good friends with other countries, but it is not bad. Only with their deaths, the dispute between Yunnan and Lanling has never been broken over the years.

This time, Shen Mengxian had already taken advantage of Mo Xuanyin's absence and the city's defense was lax. And his current actions are abnormal, obviously preparing something special to target them.

He couldn't help but worry about such a move.

"Brimstone, charcoal?"

Gu Xiwu had been standing by and listening, knowing that after hearing these things that Shen Mengxian had hoarded, a trace of strangeness appeared on his face. But soon, it was replaced by shock.

She looked at Mo Xuanyin and found that Mo Xuanyin was also looking at her.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both thought of a possibility.

With the Feng Clan!

It should not only be that they got the weapons that belonged to the Hefeng clan, but Shen Mengxian also got them, and even cracked out how those things were made. Sulfur and charcoal are indispensable, and he is doing this now, clearly to make a large number of weapons!

If they make it, it means that in the battle between Yunnan and Lanling, Yunnan will fall behind!

"Yes, there are some things like cinnabar, but the amount is not large, so it is not so conspicuous." Gao Qi explained.

"Let's go, let's go back first!"

Mo Xuanyin frowned, then took Gu Xiwu's hand and strode towards the palace.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Mo Xuanyin had no sign of stopping, but Gu Xiwu was standing at the door.

"Huh?"

"When talking about political affairs, I avoid it!" Gu Xiwu looked at the ministers who followed behind her, this matter was not suitable for her here: "You say it first, I will also go to see if there is any new news!" ”

Gu Xiwu meant, if Shen Mengxian's action was so big, then the news that Nanyue gave her should also reach Zhiwu Palace.

"You are the queen of Yunnan, no one dares to say a word!"

Mo Xuanyin felt that Gu Xiwu still cared about the fact that those ministers had been minding her identity as a relative of South Vietnam. So the hand holding her tighter, finally waited for this day, he didn't want to have any extra complications.

"I didn't think much of it, you let it go first!" Gu Xiwu gave her a reassuring look, and in the face of Gu Xiwu in business, she calmly made Mo Xuanyin feel terrible: "You deal with it first, I need to go back and see the news of South Vietnam." Only when the news of our two families is together, can we deduce the greatest possibility of what Shen Mengxian means! Obedient! ”

Originally, he planned to leave directly after saying a word, but when he saw Mo Xuanyin's face, Gu Xiwu was a little reluctant.

"Okay!"

Mo Xuanyin stared at her for a long moment before finally nodding.

Then he turned around and motioned to the ministers who had been waiting for the emperor to speak, and come in to speak.

On the other side, Gu Xiwu returned to Zhiwu Palace. Qing Shu and Qing Ci were already waiting at the gate of the palace, and since the two of them approached the imperial city, the news had already spread to the palace.

Not only are they high, but these two girls have been waiting here for a long time.

"!"

"!"

Unlike the courtiers who were as restrained as the emperor when they saw him, these two people, as Gu Xiwu's personal maids, saw Gu Xiwu's first reaction after seeing him leave for so long was very excited. But when they saw that Gu Xiwu was just herself, the two of them looked at each other again.

"Mother? Are you falling out with Your Majesty again? ”

In the past, as long as the couple went out and came back, they would definitely go directly to Zhiwu Palace. Like this, when Gu Xiwu came back alone, he still watched it when they were making the most trouble.

"What do you think!"

Gu Xiwu walked into the palace gate and went straight to his bedroom, and he didn't forget to respond.

"Huh? Your Majesty? ”

"Mo Xuanyin has just received a tip from the border, and now he is discussing with Gao Qi and them. I came back to see if there was any news from South Vietnam during my absence! ”

Anyway, they have been by their side for so many years, and Gu Xiwu does not exclude them from knowing some things.

"That's it!" The two of them patted their chests when they heard Gu Xiwu's answer, and they put their hearts down: "Niangniang, the frequency of your carrier pigeons going back and forth these days is indeed very high, and we have collected the news, all of which are on your case." ”

As soon as they talked about the news of South Vietnam, the two of them seemed to remember something.

During Gu Xiwu's absence, the letters from South Vietnam were personally sent by Gao Qi and kept by them. As for the message from the carrier pigeon, it was the two of them who divided the labor, and then put the news and the letter in one place, waiting for Gu Xiwu to come back and see.

Originally, they were still wondering why so much news had come recently. Listening to Gu Xiwu's words now, it seems that something tricky is happening outside.

But they don't care, they have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they are closely related to them in addition to these masters who can decide their life and death, that is, those family members who are still outside the palace. As for what really happened outside the palace walls, they didn't care, and they couldn't care.

"Good!"

Gu Xiwu nodded, and then went straight to the end of the dormitory, where there was a desk, where all Gu Xiwu's official affairs were usually handled.

And Qingshu and Qingci exchanged glances after seeing that Gu Xiwu was about to start checking those things.

"Niangniang, you come back after a long journey, let's prepare a bath for you!"

"Go ahead!"

Gu Xiwu no longer has the heart to care whether she is tired or not, the most important thing now is to find out what happened.

In order, she opened the first letter, then the second and the third.

She had only been away for a few days when South Vietnam sent her three letters. Among them, two letters were written by Gu Ronghe who told her about the recent situation in South Vietnam and the decisions she made, and the remaining one was written by Wu Wei. told her that he had stared Gu Ronghe to death, and that he couldn't make any waves even if he still hid anything, so that she could rest assured.

There was no useful news mentioned in the letter, so Gu Xiwu picked up the note sent by the carrier pigeon on the side, which was specially responsible for delivering confidential information.

The most above is the trend of hundreds of officials and the affairs of neighboring countries during this period of time. These should all be screened, and the news sent back by the South Vietnamese spies.

She flipped through the pages and finally found something about Shen Mengxian in the notes of the last two days.

is similar to what Gao Qi said, Lanling is needing a lot of things like pig iron. But it should be on the note sent yesterday, it was written by Gu Ronghe himself, saying that Shen Mengxian had sent someone to contact him.

And later he also talked about the problems discussed by the two sides, which did talk about the use of these things that Shen Mengxian needed. But what Lanling said to Gu Ronghe was that Shen Mengxian was obsessed with alchemy.

Gu Xiwu felt that she wouldn't believe this statement if she killed herself.

Let's not talk about whether Shen Mengxian has reached that age, let's just say that his personality is definitely not a person who is confused like that. But he and Gu Ronghe also had to hide it, and used such a lame excuse, which seemed to make her more convinced of her guess.

These things are meant to be used to make weapons.

The next few news are also related to Lanling's actions this time.

Lanling's minerals are limited, so a large amount of pig iron and cinnabar are needed, so cooperation must be sought. This is also the reason why they directly approached Gu Ronghe.

Shen Mengxian meant that he planned to make a one-time acquisition, but Gu Ronghe did not have a clear attitude towards this matter.

There were two notes in a row, both of which were the same news, and Wu Wei and Gu Ronghe asked her separately if she wanted to cooperate with Shen Mengxian.

"This matter is getting more and more complicated!"

After reading the last thing, Gu Xiwu looked out the window, and suddenly had an illusion that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
