Chapter 72 Qishan Spring Hunting

Xu Mengmeng went back to the house angrily, and she still regretted it in her heart.

"Didn't the general say that he was going to discuss important matters with them today, and he didn't return until midnight, why did he return so early?" Lixing looked at Xu Mengmeng, who pushed the door and entered the study, and asked.

"Hey, don't mention it in the future, none of them are simple, Lin Chongda thought he was saving a little white rabbit, but I didn't know that this An Qingyuan was a poisonous snake, I only hated helping him at that time! With An Qingyuan, the five princes are no longer a good choice.

Recently, the emperor's body is at the end of the crossbow, and it will be the time of spring hunting in the near future, if I expect it to be good, the five princes and the seven princes will definitely take action, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere again, so as not to be used by others, so as to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! Xu Mengmeng sighed and said.

"Actually, I wanted to persuade the general before, there is no need to borrow the momentum of the five princes to overturn the case of Baifu, the general now has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the Yinyue people are now quite prestigious in the north, if the general plays the table at this time to re-investigate the case of Baifu, the emperor may consider one or two!"

Hearing Lixing's words, Xu Mengmeng didn't want to retort:

"No, Lixing, you are wrong, although I have an army of 100,000 now, but only 50,000 people remain in the capital, if the murderer behind is the Seventh Prince, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation and forced him, who knows that he will not directly force the palace to rebel?

If the real culprit is the emperor, if he bites me and slanders me for rebellion, then our lives will be difficult to protect, and how can we talk about clearing our grievances?

Now that the emperor has already made a move on the Seventh Prince, the soldiers and horses in Zhu Ping's hands will not be able to keep it sooner or later, and when he gets the 50,000 people, no one will dare to stop him from overturning the case for Baifu, so the most important thing at the moment is to gain the trust of the emperor, just wait for him to do Zhu Ping, and he will rest assured that the 50,000 soldiers and horses will be handed over to us before he can act!

Lixing, I know that you are anxious, but this matter is very important, and the implications are widespread, if you want to succeed, you can only think slowly! ”

"What the general said is that Lixing is reckless!" It's not that Lixing doesn't understand that each of them is powerful, it's just that Miss has been working too hard and caring about it in recent days!

Since deciding not to cooperate with Sima Xi and his faction, Xu Mengmeng's life has returned to the way it was before, watching the various open and secret battles in the court, concentrating on training the team of 5,000 people in private, and locking himself alone in the study at night to write and draw.

Zhao Taifu's Mansion

As the wedding date gets closer and closer, the sorrow in Zhao Qianrou's heart is getting heavier and heavier, not only is her face getting thinner and haggard, but her body is getting worse and worse.

She was confined to the house every day, and she did not want to see her father, who was very affectionate, so she spent her days in her yard reading and writing, or occasionally staring at the headband and the rabbit puppet.

Over time, Yuqin also guessed a little bit of her thoughts, and often tried to ask her about that person, but there was not much news.

"Ahem~" The weather in March was still a little cold, Zhao Qianrou sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and read a book, the spring breeze was light, she covered her mouth and coughed twice.

"Miss, it's cool in the yard, let's get into the house quickly! If you are sick, how can you go to see General Ning in three days! Yuqin, who had just walked into the yard with lunch, heard a cough and hurriedly persuaded her.

"Now I can't go out, even if I'm in good health, I may not be able to see him!" Zhao Qianrou smiled bitterly, her eyes full of helplessness and loneliness.

"Miss, don't be sad, today I heard that the emperor will lead his ministers to Qishan Spring Hunt in three days, and the master plans to take you and the second miss together!"

Yuqin said with a happy face, after she heard that the master had married the eldest lady to the tyrant in Beijing, and she had no intention of knowing the young lady's thoughts, she would rather the young lady get what she wanted, although General Ning Xiao was a little worse looking, but he was still a good person in the end.

Hearing Yuqin's words, Zhao Qianrou's originally pale face was dyed a little crimson all of a sudden, and the original wry smile on the corner of her mouth turned into joy, grabbing her arm and asking hurriedly: "Yuqin, do you really hear clearly, will Daddy take me?" ”

"Hmm" Yuqin nodded heavily, with a deep distress in her eyes.

"Yuqin, I've been sitting in the courtyard for a long time, you can help me bring a bowl of ginger soup for a while, so as not to catch a cold and miss something, I've been sick in bed a lot recently, not only has I lost a lot of weight, but my face is not very good, come and help me see if it's still as good-looking as before......"

Zhao Qianrou returned to the room, sat down in front of the dresser, and gestured to the bronze mirror with various colored beads and hairpins on the one hand, and explained to the jade qin behind her.

"Miss looks good all the time!" Looking at the young lady who was smiling brightly and purely at this moment, Yuqin's voice was a little choked.

In front of the general's mansion, Lixing instructed the two Jinchen Glimpse who followed Xu Mengmeng this time: "Jinchen Glimpse, this spring hunting trip will not be peaceful, you two must not protect the general's safety, Glimpse, you are not as reckless as last time, and Jinchen, remember the oath you made at the beginning!" ”

Speaking of which, Lixing wanted to go with him, but he was going to Qingzhou to transport the weapons back in the next few days, and the camp on the outskirts of Beijing also wanted him to watch, so he could only arrange for Jinchen to go on his behalf, but he heard that the two young ladies of the Zhao family would also go with him, so he was a little worried.

Qishan is not far from the capital, at the end of March every year, the emperor will take his ministers and some family members to hunt, this year Sima Wei's body is not as good as before, originally not suitable for this trip, I don't know if he is in order to prove that he is still not old, he actually chose to ride a horse all the way, in this regard, Xu Mengmeng shook his head, it was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness!

A group of people set out, arrived at the Qishan hunting ground at the end of noon, rested for a while, and encamped by the female servants, while Sima Jian led a group of courtiers and sons into the forest, and did not return to the camp until it was dark.

Xu Mengmeng's riding and archery skills are not good, and he is accompanied by Jun's side all the way, so he is not too showy, and he only hunted a pheasant in one afternoon. Back at the camp, the ministers each returned to their tents, and the entourage waited for the barbecue to rest, and the soldiers brought by Xu Mengmeng and Liu Yi's forbidden army took turns patrolling. It didn't take long for Liu Yi to stop him.

"Why did Commander Liu stop him?" Xu Mengmeng's eyes darkened.

"The saint has made it clear, it is inevitable that the ministers will be cautious, tomorrow the hunting ground will not go down in person, the lower officials have always heard that the general is superb in martial arts, and wants to learn a thing or two with the general, but he can't find the opportunity, tomorrow the time is just right, what does the general think?" Liu Yi had a polite smirk on his face, but his eyes were deep.

It seems that this Liu Yi is planning to avenge his father! If this is the case, he will be prepared, and if he promises him, there will be intrigues waiting for him tomorrow; But if you don't agree, the ministers will look at you, and you will say right and wrong afterwards, my reputation is not good now, and if I continue to toss it, I may shake my position in the army.

"I don't know what Commander Liu wants to do?" Xu Mengmeng lowered her eyelids, hid the emotions in her eyes, and asked lightly.

"Since it's in the hunting ground, it's naturally a hunting competition! After noon tomorrow, you and I will go into the forest together, and we will come out from time to time, and those who hunt more will win, what does the general think? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Xu Mengmeng noticed the cold color in Liu Yi's eyes, it seems that this person is not the prey for tomorrow's competition, but wants to hunt himself! Or, just collect some interest from him first, and use his people to try the effect of the recent training by the way.
