Chapter 785: Blackening
Qin Huaiyuan ordered people to send the news to the old capital urgently for 800 miles, almost with Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan.
Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan take more waterways, and Qiu Feishan has strong financial resources, and the carriage they ride is stable and fast, if it weren't for the delay because of her pregnancy, I'm afraid it would have been faster to come to the old capital.
The two did not go directly to the Pingnan Army camp to look for the owl, but changed their disguises, avoided people and went to the Qin Mansion, and walked through the back corner door specially used for delivering food.
"Shanshan, why is it so troublesome? I can easily bring you in over the wall, and I promise you won't lose a single hair. Mu Jinghu hugged Qiu Feishan and walked all the way to the inner house under the guidance of the Jinghu Guard, who was left behind by the Qin Mansion to guard.
Qiu Feishan smiled, "It's safer this way, although the Qin Mansion doesn't have a master at home now, but it still stays to watch the people in the house, and the people also want to eat, so it is less suspicious, even if someone asks, the prince and the people of the Qin family are also very supportive." But if you go over the wall, one in and one out, once you are seen, there will be more trouble later. ”
"Yes, that's what you said."
Mu Jinghu helped Qiu Feishan carefully for too long, and walked all the way along the hand-copying verandah, with a gentle tone, holding Qiu Feishan with both hands like a hen protecting a chicken, for fear that she would bump into it.
Qiu Feishan couldn't help but laugh again.
Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan didn't wait long, and Xiao Xiao came back from the barracks.
He only brought the tiger, and the two of them quickly whipped up and entered the corner gate generously.
All the way to the flower hall, I saw Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan, and naturally I was very broad.
Qiu Feishan had already written to Xiao Xiao before she came, because Xiao Xiao had already known about Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan's marriage, but when they met, they had to make some jokes.
After a moment, Qiu Feishan cut to the chase and said, "I received a tip on the road that the Tatars and Qiu Yuanming's people were colluding together. ”
Xiao Xiao didn't express his position immediately, but just smiled and said, "Oh? ”
Qiu Feishan said: "Qiu Yuanming has already selected Yu Chiyan, in this way, whether it is you, Ji Lan, or Jinshang, they are all Yu Chiyan's opponents, and they have all become the people Qiu Yuanming has to deal with."
"Qiu Yuanming is a little clever, cooperate with the Tatars, first work together to abolish you, and then work together to kill Ji Lan."
He smiled again, not knowing the heaviness of someone trying to kill him.
"Isn't the prince afraid?" Qiu Feishan asked with a smile.
"Afraid of what? Haven't I been able to do much? On the battlefield, if I once retreated out of fear, the enemy's knife would have cut off my head. It's common for someone to want my life. ”
His tone paused slightly, and his face was slightly cold: "It's just that I didn't expect this to be the case this time." Qiu Yuanming thought very well, and some people designed it very well. ”
The "some people" mentioned by Xiao Xiao, Qiu Feishan and Mu Jinghu are like mirrors in their hearts.
Xiao Xiao took out the letter sent by Qin Huaiyuan from his sleeve, and handed it directly to Mu Jinghu with a heavy face.
Mu Jinghu unfolded the letter paper and looked at it with Qiu Feishan.
"What does this Tatar princess want to do? Isn't it to avenge the Anari Khan? ”
Qiu Feishan shook her head thoughtfully: "In my opinion, it won't be so simple. Imakami is not a person who allows a woman to spoil her just because she is happy. It's not so much that Imakami agreed to Princess Tana's request, but that he himself had an idea in this regard. ”
Xiao Xiao's voice was heavy: "You're right. ”
Mu Jinghu scratched her hair. He really can't do these things that make people's hearts.
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes, still smiling on his face, but his eyes were cold, his slender fingers were clenched into fists, and his joints were white, but he could only hold a handful of air.
He is not as calm as Li Qitian.
Li Qitian is not the kind of person who lets a woman spoil her for the sake of her happiness, but he is.
No matter what happens, as long as it goes against Qin Yining's wishes, as long as it threatens Qin Yining's safety, he will definitely take Qin Yining's feelings as the first consideration.
He can be calm in front of the two armies. Even if he encountered ten times the strength of the enemy army, he was not afraid.
But just a short letter, a news from afar, has already messed up his heart, and his fingertips are cold.
Xiao Xiao knew he was afraid.
He didn't even want to go back to Beijing immediately now, snatch Qin Yining out of the public, and not let anyone have a chance to hurt her.
But he couldn't go!
Not to mention that he left, he left his post without permission, or handed over the military power of the Pingnan Army to others, even if he went back with Jinghuwei, what could he do? If he is alone, he can only let Li Qitian grasp this handle and take the opportunity to treat his crimes.
Wouldn't he be even more capable of protecting Sister Yi at that time?
Xiao Xiao's eyes were dark and gloomy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there, but the anxiety and fragility revealed when he lowered his eyes still made Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan sympathetic.
"Fox, don't worry, your daughter-in-law is as smart as you, she will be fine in the palace, if someone wants to calculate her, it is better to weigh her own weight first. Even my uncle said that she can calculate everything in this world, but the Qin family is a variable, and she can't calculate her business. You see, my uncle has said so, doesn't it mean that your daughter-in-law is amazing? ”
Xiao Xiao smiled, and his voice was slightly hoarse when he spoke: "I know, it's just that no matter how powerful she is, she is also a weak woman, in a place like the palace, if there is a fight between women, I believe she will not suffer, but if someone forcibly intervenes......"
"You also know that my father-in-law is extremely smart, he has been up and down with Huan Hai for half his life, the most calm person, if he didn't think something was wrong, he wouldn't have rushed to send a letter at the risk of being discovered."
Qiu Feishan lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip, and said for a moment: "It's useless for the prince to just worry. It's time to think about how you should respond. ”
"yes."
He leaned back in his chair and bent his back like a flag for the first time. He sat casually, but also with a sense of exhaustion, resting the back of his head on the top of the chair, his skull was skept, and he looked at the dust above his head with some distraction.
Mu Jinghu and Qiu Feishan also didn't speak for the time being, leaving space for Xiao Xiao to think.
After a few moments, Xiao Xiao still maintained that sitting position, and the voice squeezed out of his throat, "He wants to kill her." ”
Mu Jinghu's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Xiao blankly.
Qiu Feishan hung her long eyelashes and did not speak. Apparently I had already thought of it. It's just because I'm sure I can figure it out, and I just cared about it before, so I didn't speak.
Xiao Xiao squinted his eyes and said, "Kill her and test my movements." If I have any changes, it is just right to get rid of me. If I don't move, it's a blow to me. ”
The owl suddenly jumped to his feet, standing in place, clenching his teeth, his back molars too hard, and the contours of his mandible tightened.
Qiu Feishan sat beside Mu Jinghu and looked up at Xiao Xiao, "What is the prince going to do?" ”
As if he had made up his mind, he turned around and said, "Please come to Mr. Xu." ”
Huzi nodded immediately, and Sayazi ran out to find someone.
After a while, Xu Weizhi came quickly and bowed in front of the door: "Lord Wang." ”
Xiao Xiao said: "No need to be polite, now there is something to ask Mr. to do." ”
Xu Weizhi understands Xiao Xiao, even if everyone thinks that he will be defeated during the war, he will still smile lightly and keep his head calm. But now Xiao Xiao's face is extremely ugly, as if the muscles and bones of his body are tense, and even a little stiff.
Something must have happened!
"Lord Wang, please tell me, the old decay must go to the soup and the fire, and the liver and brain are also smeared."
"Good. I can't leave, and this matter must be done by my husband. You immediately set off to Nanyan to see Yu Chi Xujie, and I will arrange for someone to follow me to protect you, and write a good post. ”
Xu Weizhi asked: "Looking for Yu Chi Xujie?" What to talk about? ”
"You told Yu Chi Xujie that Jin Shang broke his trust in him, and he had recognized the independence of Nanyan, but he gave Yu Chi Xujie a king, the reason why such a backsliding thing happened must be because Jin Shang wanted to use Yu Chi Yan's orthodox identity to annex Nanyan."
Xu Weizhi frowned and said, "Lord Wang, ...... do this"
"You don't have to persuade me, Mr. Xu, it's all up to you this time. I believe that if you talk to Yu Chi Xujie like this, Yu Chi Xujie, the villain who can only talk about people behind his back, will definitely be afraid.
"As long as he has signs of heartbeat, you tell him that I will expel Yu Chiyan to Nanyan here, as long as Yu Chi Xujie can kill Yu Chiyan, then the orthodoxy of Da Yan is his Yu Chi Xujie."
"But Lord Wang, Yu Chi Xujie is a person who pays special attention to reputation and orthodoxy, he could get rid of Yu Chiyan several times, but for his good reputation, and for the orthodox identity of the righteous Dayan, he has never done anything, and even as the king of a country, seeing Yu Chiyan again will still be the gift of the monarch and ministers. I'm afraid you can't make this arrangement. ”
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Xu thinks I really want Yu Chi Xujie to kill Yu Chi Yan?" ”
Xu Weizhi lowered his head and pondered when he heard this, but he had already figured it out between breaths.
"What do you mean?"
"What I want is not Wei Chiyan's life. It was the life of Yu Chi Xujie. I want Nanyan. ”
Xiao Xiao turned around and sat back in his place upright, his eyes were shining, and he was determined to hide it.
This time, Yu Chi Xujie will definitely pretend to agree, and then protect Yu Chi Yan, for the sake of that ridiculous orthodoxy and reputation. But what kind of character do you think, what kind of character is Yu Chiyan? Cowardly, suspicious, and the things he had experienced before, he had turned into a frightened bird.
"Today's secret decree wants me to deal with Yu Chiyan, I just need to act according to the order, send troops and horses to 'suppress bandits', expel Yu Chiyan from the old capital, and only rush to Nanyan, I don't need to kill him, and the upheaval along the way can wipe out the little humanity he still has left.
"He is the king of the dead country, and he naturally has a lot more obsession with the throne than other emperors. Yu Chi Xujie's protection, will Yu Chiyan believe it? ”
