Chapter Seventy-Five: Talk After Sleeping
"I expect Zhao Yien to not be able to spend tonight in a down-to-earth manner." Meng Yining and Le Yi lived in an inn not far from Zhang's mansion. I watched as the nearby fires gradually extinguished and the sky brightened. I didn't sleep all night, but the two of them were still not sleepy. There's a little bit of excitement in my heart.
Meng Yining said with some interest: "If the soldiers and horses change, it proves that it is Zhao Yien's person, can you say that?" ”
"Don't get too excited. We don't know if it was a normal transfer, or if it was ordered by Zhao Hai or Zhao Yien's people. You rest first, I think you're all confused. Le Yi smiled, narrowing his eyes with a keen gaze.
"Alas. You're right. However, during this mourning period, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, who has the right to transfer without authorization? If it is a strange action, nine times out of ten it was instructed by Zhao Yien. You said that the two of us had such a fuss last night, will Zhao Yien directly usurp power and seize the throne? If your life is not guaranteed, you might as well act sooner! ”
"If it were you, would you?"
"How not! Desperate to get what you want! Meng Yining said calmly, and giggled as she spoke.
Le Yi brought her a cup of hot water, "You're just tired and talking nonsense." Let's go to sleep. ”
"Nonsense! I'm sober! Meng Yining slapped the table and glared at him.
Le Yi knew that she was just sleepy and didn't know it. I have seen her after this exertion before, as if she was drunk, she felt sober, but in fact, the tone of her voice was different from usual. One moment is happy, and the other is silent. Like a two- or three-year-old child. Last time, I pulled Le Yi to tell jokes, but fortunately, I was poured into a bowl of soothing soup in spring and summer, and I fell asleep groggy.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Le Yi found two obvious problems with Meng Yining.
One is that I don't know whether it's hot or cold. originally thought that she sometimes wore less clothes because of martial arts, but later found that she was cold and didn't know it. It may be the disaster in her childhood, which made her skin very sluggish. Winter is outside, and spring and summer cover her with a mink fur, and she will suddenly feel comfortable.
The second is that I don't want to sleep in the middle of the night. Originally, he was walking on thin ice, not daring to sleep to death, and often woke up when there was a disturbance. So later, I was often excited late at night, and I didn't know it when I was tired. Just like now, he still wants to see Zhao Yien's soldiers and horses.
He had been asleep in the house for a while, and now he would like to watch her go to sleep.
Meng Yining swayed sleepily and dragged the tail note: "You say...... What do you say? Why don't the soldiers and horses move? ”
Le Yi smiled helplessly and patiently explained: "You are very sleepy now and don't know it, you still don't believe it." No, the brain is not turning. He has the power of the army, how can he easily kill the killer without full certainty? After all, it's still a foreign surname. If this rebellion is not successful, will it not be worth the loss if it is beheaded all over the house? I guess Zhao Yien is also a person who takes one step at a time. Otherwise, he would have rebelled a long time ago, why wait until now to be restrained by Zhao Hai? When Gu Chongwu ascended the throne, it was a good opportunity, but it was also easy to cause dissatisfaction among others. If he is in charge of the country, won't he also be able to hold great power and win people's hearts little by little? ”
"Ah...... I didn't hear what you said. Meng Yining was already sleepy and couldn't concentrate, just watching his lips move.
"Go to sleep, my little ancestor." Le Yi dragged Meng Yining to the bed. Before he could take off his shoes and socks, he fell asleep on the bed.
Le Yi quietly lowered the curtain and smiled comfortably at his sleeping appearance. Placing the sword on the round table, she prepared to sleep for a while, and then went to the barracks near the city to see if there was any change. It's just that not long after lying down, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps pressing against the wooden floor. He was alert, but he heard someone outside the door whispering, "Are Miss Meng and Le Gongzi there?" ”
Pushing open the door, it was the shadow guard sent by the Thorn Sword Tun. Originally, the stunned guards today were due to their work, but before they could be praised in a hurry, they came to the inn.
"What's the matter?"
"The little master has a letter."
Little master? Le Yi thought about it for a while, and thought that before coming to Yangshang, Hongyue pretended to be a little young master who planted orchids to pay tribute to orchids. Otherwise, no one else would have called it that way.
"It's from the orchid?"
"Yes, the news that was just sent by someone." As he spoke, the man handed out a letter from his bosom. When you take it apart, you can see the familiar handwriting. The letter mentioned that he was fine, but asked if the eldest sister in the family had found the second brother who had gone missing on an errand. has always been concerned about the eldest sister's worried body, and hopes to find the second brother as soon as possible.
The letter is not long, and there is no password to read. But Le Yi already knew it, and Hongyue helped him confirm that Zhao Erze had indeed gone to Daxia, and there had been no news for several days, and Zhao Hai was worried about this matter. Le Yi found that this kid was much smarter than he imagined, and couldn't help but care more: "Is Hongyue okay recently?" ”
"Zhao Hai loves orchids, so naturally she can't treat the little young master badly," the man said with a smile, "That child is extremely smart, these are all from the mouth of her personal palace maid, and she also observes the frequency of tranquilizers." He also asked Zhao Hai to come to the orchid to sit and calm his nerves. ”
Le Yi nodded, and wanted to give two instructions, in a variety of forms, and let him pay attention to safety. If you encounter something that you can't solve, just turn around and leave. He opened his mouth, and he heard a confused inquiry voice from inside the curtain: "Hongyue...... Hongyue what? ”
When the man heard this, he didn't expect that Miss Meng was also in the house.
Le Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, "She just fell asleep." ”
"Say...... Hongyue ......"
The man coughed lightly and turned to look sideways at the bare wall. Le Yi hurriedly walked over and said softly: "It's okay, there is a letter from you saying that everything is fine, let us rest assured." ”
"En......" Meng Yining fell asleep again and rubbed inside. Le Yi paused, but still covered her with the quilt, and put the mink coat on top of it.
Seeing that the man had not left, he asked again, "What else is the matter?" ”
The man pointed to the roll of paper on the table, which was the news from the flying pigeon. Le Yi was afraid of disturbing Meng Yining again, so he looked back at her and saw that there was no movement, and then opened it with confidence. In black and white, there are not many words, and the red seal of the general Wei Yong is stamped underneath. "After a detour of five hundred miles, I found that the two generals Zhang and Li had already led their troops to the northwest and left, leaving only two empty cities." In the lower right corner, two dots are also drawn. Le Yi judged that he might have written three copies, one for each of several people. In this way, Gu Zi'an and Xia Fenghua should also know the news.
Empty city.
There is a good chance that the soldiers and horses are close at hand!
He suddenly felt that there was a danger lurking in Beiyang City!
