Chapter 336: The Secret of the First Emperor
"That's right. Since we entered Qingyang County, everything seems to be a matter of course, just like someone has been ready to wait for us, smoothly I think that the people of this world are kind, and you are also blessed. ”
Xiao Ruyue met his gaze and tacitly understood each other.
With that Dong County Order, if it weren't for someone to support him behind his back, he would never dare to act so boldly. And the most ridiculous thing is that Dong Xianling kept saying that the person behind him was Sun Yuma, but he didn't know that Sun Yuma had already been destroyed.
There are all kinds of indications that someone is secretly operating in this place in Qingyang County.
After all, it was Yan Jue who couldn't wait for Yu Wenhe to meet him.
Miss Liangqiu Yayin jumped in from the window, stared at the couple and said, "In the past few days, I have taken a turn around Qingyang County, there should be something, there should be no none, this place is really strange." ”
Yu Wenhe and Xiao Ruyue glanced at each other, Xiao Ruyue took away the eight words on the desk, "calm and peaceful, not arrogant or impatient", and Yu Wenhe picked up the pen and wrote down two words: Yan Jue.
Liang Qiu Yayin snorted and said to Xiao Ruyue: "I have been ...... by your dog emperor in the past two days Sent by your lord, it has caused me to work very hard before and after the saddle, and it is my turn to rest. There's no threat here, and there's no need for me, so I'll have to take the opportunity to catch a few bugs on the embankment, maybe they'll be of great use in the future. ”
After saying that, he jumped out of the window.
Xiao Ruyue stared at the window and laughed, Yuwen He stared at her with interest, Xiao Ruyue said without changing her face: "Sister Yayin said, the dog emperor will send others to run errands for you." ”
"Well, Sister Xiao said that it was the Dog Emperor, that is, the Dog Emperor." Listening to his brisk tone and looking at the pleasant color on his face, he was quite useful when he was scolded.
Xiao Ruyue: "...... "This palace really believes in your evil."
Yue Xiang sent a flying pigeon from Beijing, saying that the mission to present gifts to His Majesty the Tanglin Emperor had set off, and promised to arrive in the Tanglin Imperial Capital as scheduled on the birthday of His Majesty the Tanglin Emperor.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ruyue took Yu Wenhe to the county government to find Wang Shangshu and them to discuss the last key part of the embankment drawings.
Since Dong County Commander was killed, Wang Shangshu moved to the county office, before the new county order took office, he first temporarily took the post of county order, and a dignified Shangshu was considered a county order, but this is also an expedient measure with no way.
Wang Shangshu was happy to see Xiao Ruyue, but he didn't dare to show too much in front of Yu Wenhe, so he just raised a few doubts and discussed them with Xiao Ruyue and the other two adults in the Ministry of Industry.
Xiao Ruyue has a lot of insights into engineering water conservancy, which is why Wang Shangshu insisted on letting her enter the Ministry of Engineering.
They stayed at the county office all afternoon, and when the sun was about to set, the discussion ended.
Xiao Ruyue stretched her waist widely, but she was dizzy and almost fainted.
He stumbled two steps and fell into Woo Moon Hyuk's arms.
He frowned, his face was not very good-looking, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Ruyue hesitated, looking unspeakable, "...... Hungry. ”
Yu Wenhe couldn't cry or laugh.
It was late, so they had dinner at the county government and then went back to the inn.
The guest house is Yu Wenhe insisted, he said that he likes the guest house, but he is not used to living in the county government, and finally got out of the imperial city, and went to live in the official office to find out what he was not comfortable doing.
For the queen said: There is nothing to say.
Xiao Ruyue went to take a shower and change clothes, and when she turned around, she saw Yu Wenhe waiting to see something, he heard her footsteps, turned around and smiled at her.
"There's news from the border gate." As he spoke, he handed the note he was looking at to Xiao Ruyue in his hand, "The matter is urgent, Tang Jingzhi urged us to go quickly." ”
She took it and quickly browsed it, Tang Jingzhi said in the letter that the insect infestation in the border city had burned his eyebrows, and he tried his best to deal with it, but he couldn't do it. The insects multiply so quickly that the mountains and forests are almost devoured.
The situation is so grim, he is really anxious.
Xiao Ruyue looked at Yu Wenhe, "Are we going to leave tomorrow?" ”
Yu Wenhe nodded, "Naturally, the sooner the better, isn't the matter of today's drawings already finalized, and they can completely handle the matter if they hand it over to Wang Shangshu." ”
Xiao Ruyue hesitated for a moment and asked him: "Even if there is no Tang Jingzhi's flying pigeon to urge you today, you plan to do so, right?" ”
Yu Wenhe did not deny it.
Xiao Ruyue sighed, and came over for a while before saying, "Then I'll let Yinlin and them pack up their things." ”
So saying, he went to the door.
Yu Wenhe didn't speak, looked at her back, and showed a faint smile.
There was a slight bitterness in his smile.
Early the next morning, Yu Wenhe explained the matter clearly to Wang Shangshu, and Wang Shangshu was not surprised at all about what Yu Wenhe and they were leaving, and promised that he would live up to the emperor's grace and expectations.
The new county magistrate is already on the way, and he will not be able to hold the position of county magistrate for a few days, and then he will be able to return to the capital after repairing the embankment.
Before Xiao Ruyue and the others left, Wang Shangshu was still worried about her, and pulled her to say a lot of words. He seemed to treat the queen mother in front of him as his daughter, and taught him a lot of precautions when his wife was pregnant, Xiao Ruyue said that he humbly accepted the guidance.
As soon as they left, the people of Qingyang County spontaneously came to see them off, and the scene was not deserted at all.
Out of Qingyang County, they went all the way to speed up their horses, except for the necessary rest, they changed horses without changing people. It was also thanks to Xiao Ruyue, a pregnant woman, that she couldn't support it anymore.
All the way non-stop, a few days rushed to the border city barracks.
General Yu Wenxiao led the deputy general Yang Junda and the generals to the gate of the camp to greet him, which was bigger than the last battle.
Yu Wenhe had already informed them in advance, so he prepared the camp tent early in the morning, and as soon as he arrived at the camp, Yinlin Luyi and Liangqiu Yayin took Xiao Ruyue to rest.
"Mother, are you okay?" Look at Xiao Ruyue's face turned pale, and the green clothes nervously stirred ten fingers.
Xiao Ruyue shook her head at her, so tired that she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Yinlin went to get hot water, wiped her face, and let her rest.
Liang Qiu Yayin took out the pill from her own pocket and gave it to her, and her complexion was better.
The cold jade box that had been with Xiao Ruyue had been ready to move, and as soon as Liang Qiu Yayin opened it, the fat insect Jade Silkworm Gu that had been raised inside jumped out.
Presumably, this insect is also spiritual, knowing that the master's health is not good, he came over by himself to sacrifice and dedicate.
The Jade Silkworm Gu was about to drill into Xiao Ruyue's palm, but it was caught by her two fingers, Liang Qiu Yayin saw this and handed over the cold jade box, and the Jade Silkworm Gu was stuffed back.
"Little one, it's better not to make a mess, it's still useful to keep you."
Liang Qiu Yayin glanced at her when she heard this.
Girls are outgoing.
In the big tent, Tang Jingzhi is also there.
Yu Wenhe walked in with Chongyue Chongyang, and even excused him from greetings, and after sitting down, he asked Yu Wenxiao to explain the situation again.
The general roughly said it, and the statement was similar to the content of Tang Jingzhi's flying pigeon biography, but even the general was afraid, and you can imagine how bad the situation was.
But he also said that these insects eat everything, even people, and a few days ago a soldier strayed into the forest area, and the people who accompanied him watched as the soldier was attacked by the insects, and in a few moments only the skeleton remained.
The two soldiers who came back also had a nervous breakdown. Now the people in the camp are panicking.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Jingzhi again and said, "Mr. Tang has been paying attention to those weird insects, and Mr. Tang is the one who knows the details best." ”
Tang Jingzhi did not refuse, and also talked about the details in detail. However, the part of medical pharmacology is omitted, and others cannot understand the details.
What is certain now is that those are not ordinary insects, but Gu worms that have been carefully raised and cultivated. Gu insects eat almost everything, and their vitality is extremely tenacious, they are not afraid of swords, and they can even be split into two after being slashed, and their reproduction speed is extremely fast.
In the short period of time since the Gu worm was discovered, the mountains and forests were almost devoured, and if it went on like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yu Wenhe pondered for a moment and asked Tang Jingzhi, "You haven't been able to find the source of the Gu worm either?" ”
"This is not what I am good at, I'm afraid she still needs to come out." Tang Jingzhi said.
It is self-evident who "she" he refers to in his words.
After the discussion in the big tent was over, the generals withdrew, and finally even Yang Junda and Tang Jingzhi also withdrew.
Only two brothers remained, Yu Wenhe and Yu Wenhe.
"Brother, there's something I think it's time to be honest with you."
The general uncharacteristically did not call the imperial brother or brother, but called him "brother" very affectionately, and Yu Wenhe didn't feel strange, glanced at it lightly, and drank his saliva.
"Say whatever you want."
"The Empress Dowager once told me a secret. It's about the first emperor and the second prince, I have hidden this matter in my heart for many years, and I have never dared to leak half a word of rumors, but you are the king of a country in Great Xia, and I think you have the right and need to know. ”
Yuwen Xiao laid out the foreshadowing for a long time, and after speaking, he paused, and observed Yu Wenhe's face, "You, aren't you curious at all?" ”
"You haven't said anything, what am I curious about?" Yu Wenhe was careless.
The general was choked by his own brother and almost swallowed a mouthful of old blood.
"The Empress Dowager said that when the first emperor first ascended to the great treasure, he was once addicted to the art of immortality, alchemy and medicine, and thought that he would want the country for ten thousand years. And the second prince of the first emperor, Yuwen Jue, was the most beloved prince, and personally tried the medicine practiced by the first emperor for the first emperor, but he didn't expect that his appearance changed greatly after that, and finally became not a ghost or a ghost, and then he left Beijing. The first emperor said that he was a wanderer, and his whereabouts were unknown for so many years. ”
"I know all of this."
The general glared, "How could you...... Could it be that the Empress Dowager said it? ”
Yu Wenhe shook his head, and he said to himself again: "The Empress Dowager also said that this matter is a secret, and someone must know about it, but someone must also guard it." Didn't expect ......"
