Chapter 496: Intent (1)

Gongsun Lan turned around and arrived in Shubei, and the first person he saw was not Gongsun Xian, but the eldest prince.

"The little woman is neither a soldier nor a capable minister, but an idle person, how dare His Highness come to meet her?"

Beishan Liao smiled lightly when he heard this, his smile was like the azure brocade robe embroidered with light cloud patterns on his body, gentle and restrained. Just like the look he showed under the rain when the two met for the first time, it was easy for people to let down their guards. "Miss Gongsun is too worried, I just regard you as a friend, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I heard that you are injured, so I came to visit."

Gongsun Lan's eyes flashed, and when he said this, it seemed that he was too much in the mind of a villain. And she noticed that the other party used "I" when talking to her, making it clear that he had removed his identity and wanted to condescend to intersect with her. "Thank you for your care, your injuries have healed."

Beishan Liao didn't say much when he saw her, and he didn't care, so he said to himself: "After arriving in Shubei, the first thing that gave me a headache was the military rations, and you also know that Beirong was not very peaceful, and the already stretched military salary had to be taken away, plus the consumption along the way, there was not much left." So they had to collect grain in the city, but there was not much grain left in the city. Many large families had already left the city with their family assets to avoid the war before I arrived in Shubei. Then, Yue Rongting took out a thousand grain cakes and solved his urgent need. ”

Gongsun Lan raised his eyes when he heard this, and Beishan Liao happened to look over, and there seemed to be water waves flowing slowly in his eyes, which could easily penetrate into people's hearts and spleens.

"Although Yue Rongting didn't say it, I know that this is definitely not his idea, he is a veteran, if he knew such a good thing, he would have taken it out a long time ago, and he would not have waited until now. Gongsun Xian and them are the same, so I guess it's your idea. ”

"It's just a small thing, of course it's best to be able to help His Highness." Gongsun Lan couldn't figure out the path of the eldest prince, and only maintained a polite appearance on the surface, but the eldest prince's next words aroused her interest.

"This is not a small favor, this is a great merit to save the lives of thousands of people and soldiers. However, this is not enough to stop the ambitions of Baimeng......"

"Your Highness refers to military rations?"

Beishan Liao's gaze fell on Gongsun Lan's face, and he looked at it for a long time, until Gongsun Lan's face showed a slight embarrassment, and then he said, "It's not just military rations." ”

Gongsun Lan twisted the teacup in his hand with his fingers, and said in surprise: "Your Highness means that the enemy army will be more powerful than my fifth brother's army?" ”

Beishan Liao said: "In my Dajing, if you talk about the ability to lead troops, there are few people who can envy the right of Gongsun Qi. Gongsun Xian entered the military camp at the age of thirteen, experienced hundreds of battles large and small, and achieved the myth of invincibility since he became famous. Such a Gongsun Xian, the army led by him is also experienced in a hundred battles, even if the Baimeng is strong, it is even more difficult to get a bargain in his hands. But...... You must know that Gongsun Xian's enemy may not be the ...... of the Hundred Leagues."

Gongsun Lan was stunned when he heard this.

She knew that Beishan Xiao was on guard against the Gongsun family and Gongsun Xian, but this was the lining, and no one would take face to say it. The water in this is too deep, and at least the family will be ruined, and the country will be overturned.

But the eldest prince actually said it, and still said it to her...... As the son of Kitayama Xiaoze, and he is a Qincha, why did he say these things to her, would it be a little ...... Got a deep talk? They are two sides of the story.

Perhaps, does this mean that the eldest prince is at odds with his father? Or is it that the eldest prince is for the sake of the people of the world, and he doesn't want Beishan Xiao to make a big move?

"Originally, there was Gongsun Xian in Shubei to guard the town, and all parts of the city believed that Yasukuni would not lose, but Gongsun Xian's sudden disappearance caused great confusion and caused the people's hearts to be shaken. As a result, most of the rice grain was lost, and it became a black market commodity in exchange for money. ”

Gongsun Lan also thought of this, although she had already talked with Ji Yun about Yasukuni and Da'an's "exchanging grain for soldiers" and taking what they needed, but she was not sure that she would not intend to complain before removing the troubles.

Although Yasukuni and Da'an are allies, they are, after all, two countries, and if people with ulterior motives make a fuss about the matter of "exchanging grain for soldiers" afterwards and say that Gongsun colluded with Da'an, it will be quite troublesome.

What's more, the eldest prince is so heartfelt, it really makes her more and more incomprehensible, is it possible that the eldest prince is really on their side? "Your Highness wants to say that my fifth brother may not be defeated by the Baimeng, but will be planted in this matter."

"Everyone knows that if Gongsun Xian has been guarding Shubei Town without accidents, it will be Yue Rongting who will go to Beirong. Is there a mystery in this? Beishan Liao looked at Gongsun Lan for a long time and said slowly.

Gongsun Lan was silent on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.

If Gongsun Xian hadn't been arrested before, the eldest prince wouldn't have come in the name of Qincha, and Beishan Heng wouldn't have had to risk his life to guard Yun Castle. Could it be that someone has already gained insight into the identities of Beishan Heng and Gongsun Xian? Because he couldn't guess who they were the sons of King Lian, they simply killed two birds with one stone......

So who made this move? Could it be the mysterious person who used the Hidden Mountain Villa to hide? So who is he? Could it be that Kitayama Xiao is secretly leaving a back road for himself?

Without food, soldiers can't fight. It's just a pit at a time, interlocking. At that time, it is natural for Beishan Xiao to punish Gongsun Xian, and the Gongsun family will not escape heavy responsibility. The result...... Forced to rebel.

And the son of King Lian, who is closely related to the Gongsun family, cannot escape the charge of rebellion! Back then, King Lian was killed by Beishan Xiaoze on the charge of rebellion, is he going to repeat the same mistake now?

Of course not, Gongsun and Nangong and the Queen Mother have done so much just to avoid such a situation.

This mess has to come up with a solution.

However, if there are really people waiting for the opportunity to move, the "exchange of grain for soldiers" may surely have consequences. So...... Be sure to find someone to take on it. The best candidates...... Gongsun Lan raised her eyes to look at the eldest prince, she had to find a way to make the eldest prince think of this step first, and then talk to her.

Gongsun Lan pondered for a long time and looked at the eldest prince: "Why does Your Highness want to tell me this?" ”

Beishan Liao's voice was flat and warm: "Because we think the same." ”

We, the same idea?

Gongsun Lan frowned slightly: "I don't understand." ”

"I know that you are determined to stop the war, and I don't want this unprovoked killing to run rampant in the world." Beishan Liao saw Gongsun Lan staring at him, and he didn't dodge for half a minute, just quietly waiting for her to think.

Gongsun Lan looked at him and suddenly asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of His Royal Highness's illness ......"

"It's just a matter of doing your best and obeying the destiny of ......"

After talking with the eldest prince, Gongsun Lan's mood became even heavier. She glanced at Rui Yaer, and saw that the other party was still ignorant and couldn't think of anything, so she couldn't help but secretly worry, it was really a wave of unsettled.

I shouldn't have agreed to take her with me.

But it's hard to buy, and I knew it early. Now, there is only a way to solve it. Lei Yun roughly determined what she ate through what Rui Yaer spit out, but it would take time to figure it out completely, and it would be even more difficult to concoct the antidote.

Gongsun Xian came over after finishing the matter at hand. Seeing her go up and down a lot, she said, "You recovered faster than I did." ”

"I'm also less injured than you."

Gongsun Xian saw that she was in a bad mood, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Gongsun Lanyue served tea, and then told him about the visit of the eldest prince and his conversation.

Gongsun Xian was also surprised: "How could he say that?" He paused, and then said, "I mean, how could he tell you that?" ”

"I'm also very strange...... Gongsun Lan said: "I can't understand this person's temperament, but now I'm even more confused, perhaps, he should really cherish the common people?" ”

Gongsun Xian raised his eyebrows: "I don't believe it." There is no one in the royal family who is simple-minded! ”

"He is dying, is it necessary to stir up the wind and rain?"

"This ......" Gongsun Xian obviously didn't have much contact with the eldest prince, "I don't know about this." But I wouldn't trust a terminally ill person who came here to be a messenger. ”

"If he doesn't come to be a messenger, presumably the fifth brother, you won't be able to return to Shubei smoothly, I'm afraid you will have to return to the capital as soon as possible to report on your work."

"That's right...... So, do you believe him? ”

Gongsun Lan was silent for a moment: "I'm not sure either." ”

"I think it's better to keep an eye on it, and we don't necessarily need him to help."

Gongsun Lan shook his head: "No, there is one thing right now, and he needs to come forward." ”

She told Gongsun Xian about the idea of "exchanging food for soldiers", and Gongsun Xian was stunned: "This is very feasible, but if we are not careful, it is easy to put ourselves in." Don't look at the fact that Yasukuni and Da'an are allies now, but if you are not careful, you will collude with foreign enemies......"

"Therefore, in this matter, if someone who Beishan Xiaoze trusts comes forward, we can be alone."

"So, do you want the eldest prince to carry this pot?"

"That's exactly what I thought......"

"......" Gongsun Xian was speechless for a long time, and said with a smile: "If you want him to carry this pot, you can't speak first, let the other party understand it yourself, and then take the initiative to carry the burden...... It's a bit difficult, isn't it? ”

"So what else do you do?"

Gongsun Xian thought for a while: "I think this eldest prince is very different to you, why don't you make a beauty trick?" ”

Gongsun Lan glared at him fiercely: "Less nonsense!" ”

Gongsun Xian got up to leave, and before leaving, he remembered something, and said: "Regarding the big households that moved away in the city, I kept an eye on it, and secretly checked, and found that not everyone took the rice and grain away...... No, someone should have taken the initiative to persuade these people and then take them away. ”

"In this way, there are indeed people with ulterior motives." Gongsun Lan glanced at him and asked, "Can you find out who took it away?" ”

"Not ...... yet"
