Chapter 183: Defeat
She said truthfully: "I was so sad to see Yinghong, so I couldn't help but tell her the news that Xiaoyun was not dead yesterday." ”
Hearing this, Qin Lingjue's eyes suddenly became sharp, Zhu Yinghong? I didn't expect it to be her!
"Wakaya, you are prepared."
Looking at Shen Ruogu, who was still in the dark at this time, Qin Lingjue sighed and told Shen Ruogu that Beiqiang had sent troops to the Jin State and that the news that Zhang Xiaoyun was not dead had been leaked.
After hearing this, Shen Ruogu's face suddenly changed, obviously she also thought of this, she had just told Zhu Yinghong the news yesterday morning, and the news was leaked out in the afternoon, even if she trusted Zhu Yinghong again, she would inevitably be suspicious of her.
"Ling Jue, could it be just a coincidence?"
She was still a little incredulous, and didn't want to believe that Zhu Yinghong would really betray them.
Seeing this, Qin Lingjue immediately understood that Shen Ruogu still didn't want to believe it, so he proposed to go to Zhu Yinghong's bedroom together to see if she had escaped now.
As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately accepted by Shen Ruogu, and the three of them soon arrived at the door of Zhu Yinghong's dormitory.
Shen Ruogu took a deep breath, and then pushed the door without hesitation and walked in, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall did not dare to stop them, so the three of them went all the way unimpeded and came directly to the door of Zhu Yinghong's room.
And Shen Ruogu's heart sank a little bit, because she didn't sense that there were people in the room, and with their martial arts, even if they didn't go in, they could know if there was anyone inside, but Shen Ruogu still had the last glimmer of hope, hoping that she was just wrong.
However, as soon as he entered, Shen Ruogu couldn't deceive himself anymore, because this room was indeed empty, obviously knowing that he would definitely be exposed, so he fled in advance.
Qin Lingjue saw that Shen Ruogu's mood was definitely not very good at this time, so he didn't stimulate her anymore, summoned the palace people here and asked, "Where did you go to your mother?" ”
The palace man was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang said this morning that she was going to find Shen Cairen in the cold palace......
Hearing this, Qin Lingjue immediately understood that Zhu Yinghong must have fled far away, and now that so much time has passed, even if he wants to chase it, he may not be able to catch up.
However, he did not give up, and immediately ordered Rong Xiao: "Rong Xiao, you immediately block the capital and send people to search for Zhu Yinghong in the whole city!" ”
At this time, Shen Ruogu came back to his senses, and immediately said, "I will let my people help search for Zhu Yinghong." ”
At this moment, she has almost figured out the joints, and she was afraid that she did it when Steward Liu suddenly exposed it before, and she was probably trying to win her trust in the past.
Then find a way to provoke other countries to hate the Jin Kingdom, this Zhu Yinghong is the undercover agent sent to her by the nameless force, and now that the goal is achieved, she naturally leaves.
Seeing Shen Ruogu come out so quickly, Qin Ling was very satisfied, and at the same time relieved, but now there was another person he was also worried about, and that was Concubine Yi, so ......
"Zhu Yinghong is an undercover agent, and she must be hidden from the concubine, and she must not be allowed to know." Qin Lingjie instructed.
Rong Xiao and Shen Ruogu nodded at the same time, saying that they would never disclose the news to Concubine Yi.
However, in this way, they can't let Concubine Yi know about their search for Zhu Yinghong.
It was definitely impossible to hide Concubine Yi in the capital, so Qin Lingjue decided to send Concubine Yi to Jinling Temple for the time being, and it happened that Concubine Yi was also anxious about the joint attack on the Jin Kingdom by the Wulan Kingdom and the Beiqiang Kingdom, and she had already moved the idea of going to the Jinling Temple to pray for the Jin Kingdom.
This time, Qin Ling had no intention of blocking it, and directly agreed to the request to let Concubine Yi go to Jinling Temple to pray for blessings.
However, because he agreed too simply, it aroused Concubine Yi's suspicions: "Your Majesty, the mourning family thought you wouldn't agree." ”
Hearing this, Qin Ling said quietly: "Now that the capital is not as chaotic as before, I will naturally not stop the concubine wherever she wants to go, not to mention that even if the concubine is forced to stay in the palace, the concubine may not be at ease." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Yi didn't doubt it anymore, and that day Qin Lingjue sent the Imperial Forest Army to escort Concubine Yi to Jinling Temple, but fortunately, nothing happened this time, and the journey was very smooth.
And after Concubine Yi left Beijing, Qin Lingjue immediately ordered the whole city to search for Zhu Yinghong, and could only hope that she had not left Beijing yet.
After dealing with these things, Qin Lingjue set his sights on Beiqiang, and sent a letter to Shi Yao to start with her and persuade her to give up sending troops to the Jin State.
However, the letters he passed on were all lost in the sea, and Shi Yao did not give any response.
Seeing this, Qin Lingjue's heart sank completely, and he understood that this battle was inevitable.
However, he did not despair, after all, Wulan and Beiqiang are two countries, even if they cooperate, they will definitely not trust each other too much, and he can start from this point to find a way to destroy the alliance between the two countries.
However, Qin Lingjue didn't know that Shi Yao and Qin Lingxiao had already formed an alliance, and no matter what he did, he couldn't destroy the cooperation between them.
And he didn't have time to destroy, because the armies of Wulan and Beiqiang had already arrived at the border of Jin, and at this time, Zhao Ze and another Jiang general sent by Qin Lingjue had successfully reached the border.
The atmosphere was tense, and the big war was about to break out.
The two sides soon fought together, this battle lasted for a month, before the winner was divided, in terms of numbers, the Jin army was not as large as the army of Ulan and Beiqiang combined, and the weapons were inferior to Beiqiang, so even if Zhao Ze and General Jiang had worked hard, they still could not make up for the gap, so this battle was the defeat of the Jin State.
After the news of the defeat of Zhao Ze and General Jiang was transmitted back to the capital, Qin Ling was absolutely not surprised, after all, the gap between the two sides was so big, it was too difficult for Zhao Ze and General Jiang to win.
Rong Xiao was a little worried: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?" ”
Zhao Ze and General Jiang are already the most powerful generals in the DPRK and China, if they can't even do it, then there will really be no one in the DPRK and China.
Regarding this, Qin Lingjue naturally knew it, so he didn't plan to appoint those generals in the court at all, and said, "I have decided to take the imperial expedition in person. ”
After the news of the defeat of Zhao Ze and General Chiang came back, he had already made plans for this.
Hearing this, Rong Xiao's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, in case you ......"
Qin Lingjue waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say any more: "I have made up my mind, so don't persuade him anymore." ”
Seeing this, Rong Xiao suddenly understood that Qin Lingjue had already made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade him.
