Chapter 178: The Water Flows Higher
"Newspaperβ"
"Chengping Qianli Urgent Report-"
A soldier rushed through the crowd and rushed towards Gu Zi'an, looking panicked, and the jade pendant on his waist was a token that only those who were stationed in Chengping in Beiyang to assassinate Tun. The man ran to Gu Zi'an sweatingly, and presented a volume of secret letters with both hands. Gu Zi'an frowned, what important things can't be reported after returning to the palace?
The soldier kneeling on the ground also explained: "Miss Meng instructed me to deliver the letter to the sun as quickly as possible. He ran and killed three fast horses in succession, and had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, and at last he delivered the letter safely into the king's hands.
Gu Zi'an opened the letter and looked at it, his eyes suddenly sharpened. Meng Yining's handwriting was sloppy, and it seemed that he was writing in a hurry, and three earth-shattering things were outlined with few data.
First, Yan Rong hoarded rat carcasses in the river, and the ten rooms in Daxia were empty, and the soldiers were weak.
Second, the king of Xia died due to assassination,
Third, Zhao Erze colluded with Jing Zheng and has now fled, fearing an incident.
Great Xia needs to be sent by Beiyang, if not, Yan Rong will attack and use the mantis arm as a car.
Gu Zi'an took a deep breath, his eyes were raised, his sleeves fluttered, he resolutely glanced at the scene of the battle in the distance, and shouted in a low voice: "Wei Yong!" β
The mighty general rushed out and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty." β
"They're almost making a fuss, it's time to stop, you go back to the palace with me as soon as possible. As for the princes and nobles who participated in this rebellion, there is no need to ask the widows. He said in a low voice. Wei Yong saw his king's gloomy face and knew that something was happening. He quickly got up again to give orders and clean up the mess. The rebels were wiped out by the brave warriors, and the sound of kneeling and begging for mercy turned into an empty grassland. Wei Yong ordered the execution of the princes and nobles who participated in the operation, and Gu Chongwu saw that the matter was exposed, and he could not survive in the world, so he drew his sword and killed himself. This is probably the only thing he has done in his life to defend his dignity.
Gu Zi'an discussed with General Wei Yong for two days and nights, and closed the door. Most of the soldiers in Beiyang are stationed on the frontier to defend Rong Di and Yan Rong, and they must not withdraw their troops categorically, so that the country can take advantage of it.
Chun Xia has been waiting by Gu Zi'an's side, and said softly: "Your Highness is so late, why don't you rest?" Otherwise, you're going to have a headache tomorrow. β
"It doesn't matter." He replied lightly, put down the map in his hand, and caught a glimpse of the small hairpin on the table. That was the gift she was going to give to Bai Xining. Bai Xining is good at water conservancy construction, city defense layout, and the art of war taught by his father, the general Bai Yan, although she is a woman, she is very smart, and even many men above the court are ashamed of themselves. Her bright appearance just poked at the softest place in Gu Zi'an's heart, and even his mother often mentioned this girl's name. However, she seems to have never been deeply involved in the life of the white girl, and she is busy with political affairs, and the two are not very common in the palace. What is she doing now?
Gu Zi'an suddenly remembered the way she suddenly lifted the table that day, and when she thought about it, she was cold and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The moonlit night was deep, and his mind was heavy, so he couldn't sleep, so he had to go out for a walk in the middle of the night. The night breeze blew from the west, blowing through the newly broken shoots in the royal city
The lights in Bai Xining's bedroom are still on, bright and dark, but the girls inside are not bathing and changing, and the bronze mirror is drawing eyebrows. The sound of rushing water came from the palace, followed by the voice of the little girl Hongxi. Hongxi and Hongyue, who were brought back from Daxia, were two or two children in the palace, although they had nothing to do with the royal family, but they were smart and clever, and they were very loveable.
It's so late, and I don't rest. The eunuch beside him was about to shout in a loud voice, but Gu Zi'an waved his hand to stop him. I don't know when, this cold palace was actually dressed up vibrant, outside the dormitory is a small bonsai, the green tiles are falling on the birds with white feathers like snow, surrounded by red lanterns, Ambilight. He pushed open the door of the courtyard, and Bai Xining lay on the ladder and fiddled with some dirt. Below, Hongxi and Hongyue are also tirelessly turning around at night.
"Is it okay?"
"I'll see."
"Yo, how did you do it, Sister Bai?"
The children chattered and smiled, and after talking for a long time, they realized that there were several people standing behind them, and turned around one after another to salute, "King Wan'an." β
Bai Xining took advantage of the moonlight and saw the man in front of him in a trance with white clothes fluttering, smiling and beautiful, and even indifferent with a sense of Gu. He stared at her like this, and in an instant the girl blushed, got down from the ladder, and gently bent her knees and smiled a little shyly: "The king is safe." The king is so late today, why did he come here? β
"The widow sees that you haven't slept yet, so let's take a look." Gu Zi'an approached the mound of dirt that several people were fiddling with with his hands behind his back, and the gurgling water on it really looked like a stream in the world. Bai Xining stood behind her and involuntarily put her hand on his shoulder. Gu Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and his face was silent. Bai Xining saw that his shoulders were stiff, and kneaded them gently, "I have not participated in the government in the past few days, I am tired, you rest more, this shoulder is stiff like an iron plate." Have you gone to the tranquilizer that the doctor had sent? I asked them to add more chrysanthemums and roses, the taste is floral, and it can be regarded as a little spring. β
He suddenly thought that it was no wonder that the soothing soup in the past two days tasted a little sweet, and he thought that it was added by Chun Xia on his own initiative, but he didn't expect Bai Xining to mention a few sentences. He turned his head and squinted at the girl, his eyes were bright and bright, and he was very moving. Bai Xining's face pretended to be fine, and the night covered her blood-dripping ears.
"Yo, look, the water is really going high!" Hongxi suddenly shouted, breaking the slightly ambiguous atmosphere just now.
Gu Zi'an looked along the mound of earth, the small mound looked like small peaks, the river passed through it, and the water really flowed from the low to the high. Bai Xining smiled in his ear, "It's not difficult, raise the water level by intercepting the flow, and you can flow to the place where the human eye thinks it is high." β
He didn't speak, staring at the water marks on the dirt for a long time.
Bai Xining was a little stunned, the man beside him had a gentle look in his eyes like a spring lake, standing with his hands in his hands, but he didn't answer a word, and his mind was surging. In the past two days, General He Wei Yong had been thinking hard but could not find any answers, and the method suddenly emerged. The troops are not enough, and they can't suppress Yan Rong, who is eyeing him, so he can only win by surprise. But how can Yan Rong be powerless to fight again at the least cost.
Water!
The water flows to a high place!
Gu Zi'an's eyes lit up, and he suddenly turned around excitedly and put his hands on Bai Xining's shoulders, "You...... Saved Beiyang......"
The girl was stunned.
