Chapter 358: Turmoil
On Jiang Yu's side, although the questioning was not very smooth, because Qian Yun had excellent medicine, he finally confessed after pouring it.
Before he came out of the dungeon, he ordered Lu Yao to stay alive.
So Lu Yao used a red-hot soldering iron to burn off the wolf's head on his shoulder, and tied him up tightly and imprisoned him in the dungeon.
That is to say, Jiang Yu has gone to Gan Peilin's yard.
"The West is really still going to fight." Jiang Yu took the teacup from Gan Peilin's hand and frowned. "Today's summing is nothing but smoke. It's just that Shi Yeguo has provided a lot of high-quality resources, such as gold mines, and Xuanqi has secretly expanded a lot of armaments. King Qin and King Yeqing are recruiting troops in the shadows, and it seems that the big war is coming. ”
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside." Gan Peilin came to such a conclusion.
Jiang Yu turned his head sideways, looked at her and smiled slightly: "Smart." ”
"The emperor has made a move on you and my father three or four times, but by coincidence, he hardly took advantage of it." Before Gan Peilin's words fell, the crispy core hurriedly came in.
"Miss, Gan Fu just sent a message." Seeing that Jiang Yu was there, Crispy Core swallowed the words to his lips again.
"It's okay, you say it." Gan Peilin did not intend to hide Jiang Yu.
"The master wants to go out in person to meet the second son of the Ao family." Crisp Xin frowned and said: "I heard that the eldest prince was also recommended as a deputy general, and he went out to fight with sin." ”
......" Gan Peilin was really speechless. Liu Adou, who can't help him, is embarrassed by his father and thinks about his future. ”
"Gan Puyang is not very good." Jiang Yu stared slightly and said, "But it's different when you go to the battlefield. After all, his previous exploits were also fought back with a knife and a gun. ”
"Hmph." Gan Peilin disagreed. "I wouldn't trust anyone like that anyway."
"Nature." Jiang Yu bowed slightly. "But at this time, Da Sima went on an expedition, which undoubtedly solved the problem of Xuanqi."
"Father just went out like this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will focus on you?" Gan Peilin rolled his eyes and asked.
"He didn't want to." Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "But I didn't expect him to have this opportunity." ”
Before, Jiang Yu had already used the old ministers in the court who impeached him to make smoke. Let the emperor think that he is narrow-minded, and he will repay him.
But in fact, he was fighting for himself first.
"The husband looks calm and relaxed, and he must have a plan to deal with it!" Gan Peilin looked sideways at him.
"Whoever knows me, you are the best." Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to hold her cold fingertips: "He thought that only the west was difficult to attack, but if the rods were uncovered everywhere, what would happen?" ”
"It's hard to take care of the head." Gan Peilin said with warm eyes: "Very good." ”
The two of them smiled at each other.
"It's just ......" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some worry: "No matter how much effort is spent, it is difficult to be airtight in a limited place like the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and there will always be fish that slip through the net and make trouble." Not to mention a country. ”
"I'm a little impatient to see the emperor's defeated face." Gan Peilin remembered that Xuanqi had made trouble with her, and the pleasure of revenge inevitably bred in his heart. But on second thought, this incident may not be accidental, and they also have things to prevent.
Gan Peilin carefully searched for the bits and pieces of the previous life, Xuanqi's fiasco against Ao Xuan.
At that time, Wen Xinlan had already died of illness, and he and King Yeqing were also very stiff. So much so that Ao Xuan divided the two forces and broke them one by one.
That is to say, Wen Xinlan should still have the bargaining chips in her hands to protect Xuanqi.
This time it was Lu Yao who came in, interrupting the thoughts of the two.
"Master, the palace sent someone to Jiang's Mansion to take Mrs. Taiwei into the palace. It is said that he occasionally feels cold and his body is unhappy. ”
"The prince is not happy, what are you doing to let your mother enter the palace?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but wonder.
"Be a good doctor or a hostage." Gan Peilin's answer was like a stream.
"Hostages?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but move his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that Xuanqi can't hold his breath." ”
"This should be the Queen's idea." Gan Peilin's tone was slightly cold: "She has no better excuse to directly let me or Princess Zhen enter the palace as hostages." After all, it's all too obvious. can summon his mother into the palace and stay with Princess Qingning, as if he has nothing to do with the emperor. It seems that the emperor will do it soon. ”
"That's right." Jiang Yu also wanted to confront Xuan Qi head-on. "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
When he said this, Gan Peilin's heart pounded.
If Xue Baoyun is over this time, it will be in the hands of the emperor. That can take revenge, and it can hide her true heart.
When Jiang Yu won Xuanqi's country in one fell swoop, she could just retire with success, and there would be no arrears with him.
Thinking so, Gan Peilin fell into deep thought again.
In the next half month, there was really a big mess in the palace. Within a day, the imperial court received no less than five urgent battles.
Xuanqi directly left the courtiers in the palace and discussed matters separately, and for five days, Jiang Yu did not return to the Dadu Governor's Mansion.
What makes Gan Peilin more relieved is that Princess Zhen's side has always been very peaceful, although she is locked in her own yard, she can't quarrel or quarrel, and she is quiet as if there is no such person.
Gan Peilin had a quiet afternoon and asked Liulan and Crispy Core to accompany her to see Princess Zhen.
"What are you doing here?" Zhen asked a little puzzled, "Come and see my jokes?" If you came to see the joke, only now? Isn't it late? Or do you think I'm going to be driven crazy by you using this method to make myself look like a human and a ghost? That's why you deliberately delayed this half month? So, are you satisfied? ”
Zhen sat at the small table, eating the simple food prepared by Suo Yang and Zhu Yu, and looked at Gan Peilin with anger.
"The meal was good." Gan Peilin couldn't help but sigh: "Princess, these foods look simple and clean, and they have a different taste." I also prepared two side dishes to accompany the princess. ”
As he spoke, Liulan brought out the vegetables in the food basket and put them on the table.
Zhen pouted coldly: "I won't eat your set." ”
"In this half month, the princess has lived quietly, and she must have figured out all this." Gan Peilin took the chopsticks and tasted the side dishes he had prepared to prove that the dishes were clean and not poisoned. But it doesn't matter if you believe it or not.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Zhen always felt that she was weird today.
"For half a month, you have only been under house arrest in this compound, and you have no idea what is going on outside. Aren't you curious? Gan Peilin asked.
This is a point, and Zhen can't help but be a little excited. "I want to know, will you say it? In the past half a month, my husband has never been to my place. Gan Peilin, I admire your strategy and your calmness, but you are too small-bellied. Jiang Yu has never been your husband alone, and it is impossible to only spoil you in this life. It's true that you're in the prime of life now, but in another ten or twenty years, will you still be able to compete with those young girls who have just confided their fragrance? How long can you guard against them? How long to hold on to pampering? ”
"It's far away." Gan Peilin interrupted her words and raised her eyebrows slightly: "He didn't come because he was trapped in the palace." Now that the war outside is tight, the court is difficult to calm down, let alone you, I haven't seen him return home for a few days. Where can you take care of what you say? ”
"The war is tight?" When Princess Zhen heard this, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground. "My father...... Raised troops? ”
"Not yet." Gan Peilin said unhurriedly: "A group of reckless men who exposed the rebellion emerged in various places, and almost at the same time, troops were sent to the imperial city from different places. Everywhere I went, I didn't say that the local people were suffering, because there were many people, and the scope was too wide, it was difficult for the court to clean up the situation for a while, and our husband was the governor of the capital, so naturally he could not be exempt from military affairs, so you can imagine how troubled he is now. ”
"......" Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and his face eased slightly, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate.
I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed it hard.
"The princess wants to ask, will the Chen Kingdom and the Western Kingdoms take advantage of the chaos to rob and start at this time." Gan Peilin took another bite of the dish.
"I don't know, do you know?" Zhen didn't have the heart to scold her.
"Of course I don't know." Gan Peilin said gently: "But if it's me, of course I will make a move." This is indeed a good time. ”
When she said this, Zhen was a little uneasy.
"The princess insisted on marrying the Metropolitan Governor at that time, didn't she have expected this situation a long time ago?" Gan Peilin was laughing at her for her uncalmness.
"So what? How did I know this was going to happen so quickly? I was originally ......" Zhen bit his lip, and the rest of the words did not come out.
She was still thinking that if she and Jiang Yu had a child, she could persuade her father to support Jiang Yu to take the position. Then their children will definitely be able to grow up to be princes, and then the kingdom of Chen will no longer be political enemies, but the closest countries.
"Princess, do you want to go to the palace tomorrow?" Gan Peilin asked.
"Do what?" Zhen looked at her puzzled.
"My husband hasn't been home for a few days, and he must have almost used all the clothes he carried, and he always has to send some clean ones to replace. Again...... Don't you miss your husband? Gan Peilin looked at her with a smile.
"Why don't you send clothes yourself, you don't miss him?"
"Of course." Gan Peilin nodded: "But there is one person left in the house, and only one person can enter the palace." If both of us go and are taken hostage, who will be responsible for the safety of the ladies of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace? ”
"Ho!" Princess Zhen sneered, glared at Gan Peilin and said, "Are you trying to let me enter the palace as a hostage?" What do you say? ”
"I'm here to ask if you want to go!" Gan Peilin saw that she was angry, and couldn't help but hook her lips: "If you don't go, just guard the mansion." I'll go on my own. ”
"Why are you going?" Zhen didn't want her to see Jiang Yu, and he didn't want Jiang Yu to think how affectionate she was. "If you want to go, I'll go."
Zhu Yu and Suo Yang shook their heads again and again, but they still couldn't persuade them.
"Don't worry, even if I am taken hostage, I will accompany my husband." Zhen said coldly: "It's not only you who can share your husband's worries, I can too." ”
"Okay, then it's settled." Gan Peilin put down his chopsticks and got up with Liulan's hand: "I forgot to tell you that my mother is also in the palace." I've prepared tonic and pastries for you, and you'll see her tomorrow for me." ”
Zhen didn't say a word, and watched Gan Peilin leave slowly: "Not everything is in your calculations, Gan Peilin, I can do the same." ”
