Chapter 101: The Eve of the Decisive Battle (1)
October is an awkward month, with both the warmth of autumn and the coldness of winter. In this season, the skin is easy to dry and shell, but Yun Qing is just the opposite. A long dress embroidered with magnolia flowers in bright yellow floated on the soft couch where Yun Qing was sleeping, of course, Yun Qing was indeed sleeping at this time.
"Qingli, have you noticed that Your Highness has been able to sleep very well lately?"
Shi Ying, who was waiting on the side, said strangely to Qingli beside her. But Qingli, who was holding the sword, glanced at Shi Ying, and then whispered:
"When can't our master sleep, maybe he was tossed miserably by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night!"
Alas! Obviously, she used to be a member of the Yun Sect, but since she followed Yun Qing, her contact with that side has basically been cut off. What an embarrassing identity!
Before the master woke up, Qingli thought about it by herself. Recently, my sister Qinghua seems to be very busy, and I don't know what the condition of the girl in Luzhu is. Although the master kept silent about this matter, she still got some news from the guy Yunshuo, and she hated that princess in her heart. Speaking of Yunshuo, it seems that he has been very busy recently, why everyone seems to be very busy, only he is not busy!
"Qingli, what time is it?"
Yun Qing opened her eyes dimly, propped up her groggy head and asked the two of them. Shi Ying stepped forward to help her up, and replied as she walked:
"Your Highness, it's just after noon."
Is it just after noon? I slept for so long. It seems that Ji Moxian should have returned to the study, and he shouldn't have eaten yet. Recently, she has been busy with Jimo Tingxiao's birthday, I'm afraid that I won't have time to take care of myself, and I should be even busier the day after tomorrow, no, I can't sleep like this anymore, she has to help him!
"Let's go, go to the study!"
And Ji Moxian is in the study at the moment, discussing something with his father-in-law. On weekdays, the door of the study is open, but today its door is closed, and the guards outside seem to have increased a lot.
"They're on the move?"
Ji Moxian sat in front of the bookcase and asked. The official ceremonial rule stood aside, serious, and analyzed the current situation very seriously.
"Back to Your Highness, according to the news found by the minister's secret guards. His Royal Highness Nanwang's soldiers and horses have been transferred from Cold Moon City from Yongzhou to fifty miles outside Yelang City, and they seem to have a secret army hiding in Yizhou, the exact number of which has yet to be verified. β
Ji Moxian tapped his hand on the table, as if he was thinking about something. I didn't expect them to act so quickly, it seems that they are preparing to do it on their father's birthday the day after tomorrow, and they have to prepare early!
"Taifu, how many days will it take for our troops deployed in Wancheng to rush to the outside of Night Corridor City at the earliest?"
"Two days at the earliest."
Wancheng is in the rear of Yongzhou, if it is an urgent transfer of troops, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of Yongzhou, after all, Yongzhou is Su Lin's fiefdom, and they have to be cautious. Two days, it's fast enough.
"Okay, when the time comes, the main hall will send someone to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a bang, and the door was pushed open! Yun Qing walked in front, and ordered someone to bring food behind him. Gong Yizhi and Jimo Xian both raised their heads and looked at her vigilantly, whether she heard something.
"Look, aren't you hungry? Father hasn't been in the palace for a long time, don't you miss your daughter?"
Ji Mo Xian and Gong Yizhi looked at each other again, and it seemed that she didn't hear it. So, the two of them looked at her with a smile and said:
"I'm hungry, you're here!"
Yun Qing snorted, and after putting down the meal, she deliberately yawned and said, "Okay, I've been a little sleepy lately, father, you use it first, my daughter really can't hold it anymore, go rest first!"
"Go ahead!"
After Yun Qing left, the two of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of thing, the less one person knows, the less risk! However, what they didn't know was that it was because of their abnormality that Yun Qing suspected them. Walking around the corner, she asked Shi Ying to go back first, and she quietly instructed Qingli: "You go out in person tonight, and together with Yun Shuo, take the family master token of the palace to find my brother, remember, avoid Su Lin and Ji Moyu's eyes and ears, and hand over the family master order to my brother, he will understand after reading it!"
"Yes, my subordinates remember."
frowned slightly, this kind of thing, how could they stay out of it, even Mo Xian thought it was too simple. Plus the day after tomorrow, that person will ...... Originally, she restrained herself from thinking about it, but time reminded herself all the time that that day was coming!
"Really, does it have to be so?"
Shi Ying came back just when he heard, "Your Highness, why do you have to do this?"
"Nothing. I heard that the full moon banquet of the little prince of the Horse Mansion has been completed! Is the princess still satisfied with the gift sent by Hongu? β
If you want to talk about a big thing, that is, Su Lin's son was born a month ago, and the full moon banquet was only held a few days ago. also said that this kid is very talented, and when he drew lots, he just caught the topaz sent by Jimo Tingxiao. In ancient times, topaz was a symbol of wisdom, perhaps, this child is really a little smart! I hope that the day after tomorrow, this child will be able to do himself a great favor, so that it will be even better.
"Back to Your Highness, the princess said that she was very satisfied with your gift, and said that after Your Majesty's birthday, she must come to thank you in person!"
"Really? That's good. β
After her birthday, she really knows how to choose the time! Did she calculate that they would win? Looking up at the cloudy sky, it was really a black cloud pressing down on the city!
β¦β¦
Nanwang Mansion.
Su Lin, who was dressed in white and silver, and Ji Moyu, who was in a plain blue robe, and a man in dark blue civilian clothes were in the study of the South Wangfu, looking at the deployment map of the troops in Night Corridor City.
"Since the troops have been arranged, the backup part will have Brother Lao Fu."
Jimo Yu said.
"Brother Jimo, rest assured, the team in this palace is on call at any time, but after the matter is completed, I hope Brother Jimo will not forget the original promise!"
Covenants based on interests are quite fragile. If he doesn't fulfill his promise, I believe that Fu Gong is also ready to help! Su Lin meditated.
"Is there any movement over there?" Jimo Yu asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness, according to the information found by his subordinates, it seems that the prince's troops deployed in Wancheng have not been moved, but this morning, the prince and the prince talked for a long time in the study of the East Palace!" Su Lin's guard Shu replied.
Taifu? It seems that they are also preparing. It's just that this is Ji Moxian's slow action, and they are a little unsure of what he is thinking. It's just that they can be sure that the prince's strength is definitely not as large as theirs, and Guan Jiaxun has been controlled by them, when the time comes, Guan Xiong will inevitably be on their side, so their chances of victory will be greater.
"Got it, that's it for today!"
When I came out of the South Palace, it was already evening. It's going to change the day after tomorrow, I don't know if she's okay? Su Lin got into the carriage back home, thinking about something in his heart. Then, he instructed Shu who was rushing to the car:
"Shu, remember the day of the birthday banquet, and secretly sent Jimo Yi and Ran'er out of Night Corridor City."
"Yes!"
Although he didn't like Ji Moyi, after all, Su Ran was his son, and it was his responsibility to protect them. If they are safe, they will bring their mother and son back; If they are defeated, they can leave a descendant for the Su family, right? When the mountain rain is coming, you can keep one of them!
Hopefully, after this battle, he can save not only these two people, but also her.
Closed Palace.
Gong Yixing sat leisurely on the main hall, holding the order of the head of the family sent by Qingli and Yunshuo in his hand. Dressed in red, he is as demonic as fire, and evil as charming. Qingli and Yunshuo looked at each other, they have been here for so long, and they haven't seen the public ceremony, what kind of attitude does he have, but he has a posture, dear? Isn't this about killing them?
It's already dark outside, and if you can't get back before dawn, then the master's next plan will have to be delayed, and this is no joke.
"Childe, you're ......"
Qingli couldn't help it, but halfway through speaking, she was stopped by Yun Shuo. And shook his head at her, signaling her not to act rashly!
"Hehe, the little girl is really treacherous!"
Gong Yixing, who had not spoken all this time, finally opened his mouth, and he didn't speak before because he couldn't figure out one thing. Why didn't she hand over the order of the head of the family to the old man of the Yun family but to herself, he was really puzzled at first, but now he just wanted to say: Sister, it's not very friendly to be too fine! However, who made herself her brother? If something happens to my sister, can he, as an older brother, sit idly by?
Giving the order of the head of the family to yourself is to keep the trick! If it wins, this force of the Yun family can be used as a backup to defend the imperial city; If you lose, it will not affect the Yun family, and you can also save your strength, so that you can attack and retreat, well, this move is really good! Do you have to help them?
"Presumably Childe has already guessed the purpose of our trip, so the subordinates dare to ask Childe how are you doing?"
Although he also understands that the battle between the royal family should not involve the rivers and lakes, but if it is really a last resort, he thinks that this person will not be able to sit still!
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Shuo asked, Gongyi Xing immediately sat up, his bewitching eyes implied killing intent, and everyone in the shadows knew that this was their palace master's gesture of thirsting for blood. At this time, the public ceremony is the most terrifying.
"Go back and tell my sister, it's been a long wait!"
Hehe, he knew there would be such a day. I was outside the temple, far away from the rivers and lakes, and I was originally just trying to be clean. But it doesn't mean that he will treat the life and death of his family as nothing, this time, he will definitely not lose his sister and father because of negligence like last time.
The same mistake, he won't make it again!
"Yes, my subordinates will go back and wait!"
After receiving the reply from Gongyixing, Qingli and Yunshuo set off for home. As soon as they walked out of the main hall, a person appeared behind the door, looking indifferently at the ceremony.
"Is the palace master really determined to do this?"
In the past, they only knew about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but now when it comes to court affairs, I am afraid that the people below will have disputes. After all, not everyone wants to take care of the affairs of the government. At the beginning, it was because they were accustomed to seeing the coldness of the court and the calculations of those who had experienced the temple that they had no choice but to drift into the rivers and lakes and no longer intervene in official family affairs. Now, the palace master decided to do so, and he was worried......
"Or else?" Gong Yixing replied indifferently.
"The subordinates are worried about the ...... of the people below"
Hehe, he didn't take his worries into account.
"Don't forget, the deity is also the son of an official family. There is also a part of the deity among the children of this family. Do you think that if the deity stays out of the matter, the palace will not have to wade into this troubled water? Snow, you're naΓ―ve to think about it. Even if the deities don't go to them, they'll come to them! Now, do you understand?"
Xue was stunned for a moment, and then stood behind him without any doubt.
"Subordinates understood!"
"Pass the order, if anyone doesn't want to be in the district the day after tomorrow, let go of Gong Yu in the palace and leave! The deity never raises useless people. β
"Yes!"
It seems that the palace master is here for real this time. For some reason, he was a little excited, he hadn't fought with this person for a long time, and he was really looking forward to it.
