Chapter 572: Secret Song
Xiao Heng just snorted coldly and didn't say anything, after Qian Qianqian finished speaking, he turned around and strode out, and at the same time, the guards in the dungeon sealed the wooden window tightly, not to mention a bird, not even a fly could fly in.
"There must be something wrong with this bird, you go check it out and see if it has been specially domesticated."
Qian Qianqian turned her head to look at Xue Yi, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, since Xiao Heng refused to say, then she would go and check, anyway, this bird was in her hands, and sooner or later she would find out.
"Yes, slave and maid will do it."
Xue Yi didn't dare to delay, and immediately did so, and at the same time, she also felt that this bird might have a big secret, they thought that Xiao Heng was locked in the dungeon, and there was no way to contact the outside world, but the results were often unexpected.
Soon, the matter had a result, and as Qian Qianqian expected, this bird was specially domesticated by people, and it could obey the orders of its owner and deliver messages.
In this way, everything fell into place, Xiao Heng had cooperated with Yueji for so long before, he should have learned a lot of crooked ways from Yueji, and it was not a problem to know a little bird language, he had been secretly communicating with Yueji.
"This Xiao Heng is too cunning, this time we must not go around him lightly, it is better to pull out his tongue and make him unable to make a sound, and see how he can use this method."
Xue Yi was also very annoyed, because of the last time Qian Qianqian fell into the valley, Xiao Guo lost three cities, and now it seems that it should also be Xiao Heng and Yueji conspired to make trouble.
"No, General Xiao has also seen Xiao Heng before, it stands to reason that he should be aware of this kind of thing, but he didn't mention it, presumably he must have other plans."
Qian Qianqian thought back in her heart, her eyes flashed with suspicion, that bird droppings are not a day or two, she can find out, Xiao Mohan will definitely not ignore it, if she acts rashly, it will inevitably disrupt Xiao Mohan's plan, and it will be difficult to make up for it at that time.
"So that's it?"
Xue Yi bowed slightly, always a little unwilling in her heart.
"That's right, forget it, let this bird go, don't mention the rest."
Qian Qianqian nodded, there was no superfluous look on her face, it seemed that she had made up her mind, and Xue Yi didn't dare to disobey, so she could only do it.
"What about the wooden windows in the dungeon? The guards have already sealed, will they continue to seal it? ”
Xue Yi understood what Qian Qianqian meant, but there are some things, once they are done, it is difficult to take them back, and the so-called water is difficult to collect, this is the truth.
"Since it's all sealed, let's seal it, anyway, if we catch this bird, the news will spread, as long as Xiao Heng is still there, we will try our best to contact Yueji, whether there is that wooden window or not, the result is almost the same."
Qian Qianqian's heart is like a mirror, her eyes are slightly narrowed, and she seems to be thinking about something in her heart, which makes people can't figure it out or see it really.
This was out of Xiao Heng's expectations, Xiao Heng thought that Qian Qianqian would take revenge on him, but he waited and waited, and did not wait for the torture he thought, this dungeon was nothing special except that the wooden windows were sealed, and those guards also treated him as always.
When he noticed that Qian Qianqian was suspicious of the wooden window, Xiao Heng felt that something was wrong, since Qian Qianqian had captured the bird, he would definitely discover the secret between him and Yueji, but now he has been holding still, but he can't figure it out, he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Qian Qianqian's gourd.
But even if Xiao Heng was puzzled, there was no way to spread the news, his hands and feet were locked now, and the wooden windows were sealed, it was difficult for him to even see a little light, how could he contact Yueji?
In the final analysis, this is also Yueji's bad idea, let him use himself as bait and find a way to stay in this general's mansion, he felt too dangerous at first, so he didn't agree, but he couldn't withstand Yueji's repeated persuasion, but he didn't expect that he would lose his wife and soldiers, and now he wants to cry without tears.
Qian Qianqian ordered people to pay close attention to the situation in the dungeon, she was negligent of Xiao Heng before, it seems that Xiao Heng has a lot of conspiracies, eat a trench and grow wise, this time she will not take it lightly.
The news of Xiao Mohan's loss of three cities also spread back to the capital, since the matter has happened, it can't be hidden, and it is only a matter of time before the court knows.
The emperor was still looking forward to the end of this war as soon as possible, but now there was a sudden reversal, and he suddenly couldn't accept it, and he was also very disappointed in Xiao Mohan, if it wasn't for Shao Huaigu's pressure, he would have ordered Xiao Mohan to return to Beijing.
The excerpts that the central state asked for and were handed one after another, although most of them were stopped by Shao Huaigu, but a few still flowed into the palace and fell into the hands of the emperor.
Although the current court is basically controlled by Shao Huaigu alone, there are still people who are ready to move, and they want to climb up by relying on the emperor, there are many people in this palace, and those eunuchs and palace maids cannot be underestimated.
This central country wants to negotiate peace, but it really tried its best, and all the people who can use it have used it, but with Shao Huaigu in one day, the little emperor can't give orders, so it is useless to hand it over with the fold.
Previously, the little emperor was forced to be anxious, and wanted to unite several ministers who were dissatisfied with Shao Huaigu in the court, convict Shao Huaigu, and get rid of him, but he didn't expect to be skillfully resolved by him, so although the little emperor was quite dissatisfied, he could only accommodate and did not dare to act rashly.
But even so, Shao Huaigu was a little surprised when he learned that the situation in the frontier was like this, Xiao Mohan's previous return was all good news, it stands to reason that even if he encountered some difficulties, with Xiao Mohan's ability, he would not lose three cities, something must have happened.
It's just an accident is an accident, this capital is separated from the frontier by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it all depends on the letter sent to get the news, since the letter didn't say it, then Shao Huaigu has no way to investigate.
"The situation on the frontier is so reversed that General Xiao can lose three cities, and those people in the central country will definitely not be able to do it, and there is only one person who can do this."
Jiang Sheng also learned about this, secretly left the palace, went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and met Shao Huaigu privately.
"You mean, Miss Qian?"
Shao Huaigu has been thinking about this matter, and he thought of something with Jiang Sheng, what can make Xiao Mohan make such a mistake, except for Qian Qianqian, they can't think of anyone else at all.
"Not bad." Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, and did not hide it, after returning from the frontier, he has been unsteady, always feeling as if something has happened, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"This girl Qian has been staying in Dingyuan City, and General Xiao will inevitably be distracted, so it's better to send someone to bring her back."
Shao Huaigu's face sank, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, now what he cares about most is this war, Xiao Guo has exhausted his national strength, and he must win in one fell swoop, otherwise it will be difficult for the entire Xiao State to turn over again.
"Miss Qian said that when she finishes the work at that end, she will return to Beijing, if she rashly sends someone to pick it up, it is estimated that it will be in vain, and no one can persuade her to do so."
Jiang Sheng knew Shao Huaigu's intentions, if Qian Qianqian could easily take it back, he would probably have done it a long time ago, unless Qian Qianqian wanted to come back by herself, no one could do anything.
"What time is it? How can it still be left to her temperament? If she had any more accidents and distracted General Xiao, Xiao Guo would be in trouble. ”
Shao Huaigu didn't have a good airway, his brows were furrowed, his expression was a little anxious, he was thinking about Xiao Guo wholeheartedly, and there was no accident.
"But what else can I do if I can't help her? Could it be that like last time, he drugged her, made her unconscious, and then let Xue Yi secretly send her back to the capital? ”
Jiang Sheng is much more leisurely, he is just a doctor, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the court, so he doesn't pay too much attention to this matter, after all, this is Shao Huaigu's responsibility.
"That's not necessary, doesn't Miss Qian care about her family members the most? If something happens to her family, she'll be back in a hurry. ”
Shao Huaigu's face did not change, his tone was full of certainty, he was not a conformist person, sometimes in order to achieve the goal, he could also use some means, and now it was no exception.
"Her family is now protected by the guards of the General's Mansion, you have to think about it, if something accidentally goes wrong, General Xiao will not be able to explain it."
Jiang Sheng reminded lightly, he has always been cautious in handling things, and he also knows that this matter is not trivial, they are all people that Xiao Mohan cares about, but he doesn't dare to do it at will.
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Shao Huaigu just spit out a sentence coldly, he seemed to have an idea in his heart, his expression was indifferent, but there was unspeakable danger.
Qian Qianqian's improved bud rice seeds have finally grown, and there are a lot of buds hanging on them, the yield is twice as much as before, and it is very drought tolerant, even in this kind of weather in Dingyuan City, they have not been killed.
"Miss Qian, you see, these buds are almost ripe, I didn't expect this kind of seed to be so powerful, not only high yield, but also short maturity period, within three months, you can have a bumper harvest."
Xue Yi was also very excited, this is a rare piece of good news, the bud rice seeds have been successfully improved, and Qian Qianqian's heart disease has been eliminated.
"Then spread this kind of seed and let the people outside plant it."
Qian Qianqian was also very pleased, it seems that her efforts for so many days have not been in vain, and the people of Dingyuan City will be able to fill their stomachs in the future.
"Yes." Xue Yi immediately complied, Xue Hua learned about this, and also felt very incredible, this Dingyuan City has never been a place to grow food, it can't produce much food every year, and it basically relies on foreign trafficking, and now Qian Qianqian has developed this kind of bud rice seeds, then Dingyuan City will be self-sufficient.
It's just that after the joy, Qian Qianqian's mood gradually declined, she said before, when the affairs of Dingyuan City are dealt with, she will return to the capital, and now that the food problem is solved, she really seems to have no reason to stay anymore.
"Miss Qian, can you ......?"
Xue Yihou was beside Qian Qianqian, she wanted to speak and stopped, she had heard everything Qian Qianqian said to Jiang Sheng before, so her eyes were full of inquiry.
"If I go back to the capital, what will Xiao Heng do? Will you stay here, or will you go back with me? ”
Qian Qianqian knew what Xue Yi wanted to say, so she didn't avoid talking about it, but asked lightly.
"Naturally, I stayed here, this time it is a long way to go back to Beijing, if I take Xiao Heng with me, how cumbersome will it be? And maybe there are Yang Guo's fine work and Xiao Heng's old department snatching people from us, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble. ”
Xue Yi said with great interest, this is also what she has thought about, now that Xiao Mohan is not here, it is natural for them to cause less trouble.
