After a long time, Yide slowly spoke: "This time, when the cavalry goes, it will be carried out according to the plan, I want to take advantage of the fact that all the elite soldiers in Daduan have fallen to Xu Qingshan to fight with Dongqi at this time, and we can directly hijack the king of Sui Yue to capture the Daduan capital, but when we arrived in the Daduan capital, we found out that ......"

Yide stopped talking and said no more.

"I found that Sui Yue was not Sui Yue a long time ago," Xu Songchen continued Yide's words.

"Sui Yue is not Sui Yue? Xu Zhaohua was full of questions.

Xu Songchen continued: "To be precise, the person sitting on the throne is Sui Yue, the person who speaks, and the person who gives the holy decree is Sui Yue, but it is only through Sui Yue's body, and Sui Yue's mind has been controlled by Sui Chen. ”

"Witchcrafted? Became a puppet? Xu Zhaohua guessed.

"Yes, it's very likely to be the method of the Slender Moon." Yide added.

Slim Moon? How could she know witchcraft? How could she stand in Sui Chen's camp to help him, hadn't she already rebelled against Sui Chen and defected to Sui Yue?

A series of questions welled up in Xu Zhaohua's heart.

But soon she had an answer, what Xianyue wanted most was power, she was a person who longed to gain other respect from holding power to maintain her dignity, and Xianyue was most likely to seek refuge in Sui Chen for power.

She wasn't mistaken.

But how did she learn to use witchcraft?

Perhaps seeing Xu Zhaohua's doubts, Yide's next words solved her confusion:

"When I followed Sui Yue in Daduan before, I found that he had some abnormalities, not to mention his strange actions, and specially sent a woman to the military camp to monitor him and the soldiers. That woman was Xianyue, and Sui Yue had sent her to visit not long ago with a rich tribute to enhance her relationship with the Linghuo Domain. ”

"Ridge Fire Domain? The outlands where only women are allowed to enter and leave the legend? Xu Zhaohua was shocked, originally she had only seen this place mentioned by her predecessors in the weird, and she had thought that this place really existed:

Ridge fire, the Outlands also. All the women in the city went in and out, and there was not a single man, and the source of witchcraft was also.

"That's right, at that time, I went with Xianyue, and those people except her were no one to return, and when I came back, I asked her and didn't say anything, saying that those people were killed by robbers on the way."

"Everybody's been killed? Saved her from surviving? Xu Zhaohua asked in disbelief.

Yide said: "That's what she said, I was also very suspicious at the time, I had quietly sent people along the road to investigate, I had never heard of such a murderous robber on the way, and some were just some robbers who stopped people and scared people halfway to deceive three or two broken silver. ”

Xu Songchen said: "Obviously, she lied. ”

"That's right, so I speculate that the witchcraft of King Sui Yue is the magic cast by Xianyue, after all, she is the only one who has been to the Linghuo Domain, which is the source of witchcraft." Yide said.

However, what puzzled Xu Zhaohua was how Xianyue learned witchcraft in the Linghuo Domain, after all, it was rumored that the witchcraft of the Linghuo Domain was only passed on to people with the bloodline of the Linghuo Domain, and every person in the Linghuo Domain would have a blue ghost fire pattern on their shoulders. But when she first met Xianyue, she was already in Dongqi. Then she married Xu Qingshan, and she didn't find any ghost fire patterns on Xianyue's shoulders when she came into contact on weekdays.

She is not in the mood to ask about the moon now, so let's find out slowly in the future.

Now she just wants to settle the matter between the Daduan Kingdom and the Eastern Qi Kingdom, and she doesn't want more lives to pass away in front of her eyes and she can't do anything.

Since Sui Yuezhong, the king of Daduanguo, is witchcraft, it just so happens that she once learned how to solve witchcraft with Lady Ghost, if she solves Sui Yue's witchcraft here, when he recovers his senses, with her friendship with Zhou Sheng Cuobai who helped him regain the throne, he must definitely retreat. In this way, the two countries will soon become friendly and the people will be saved from the disasters brought by the war.

It's just that how to talk about this matter to Cuobai? Would he agree to let her go to Big End? If she disagrees, how should she persuade Cuobai?

These have become the problems she is facing now, and Xu Zhaohua feels that solving these problems is more of a headache than solving some military problems.

Xu Songchen and Yide, who were beside him, were discussing how to subdue Daduan, which was nothing more than using various strategies to raise troops. But in this way, the soldiers of both countries will be killed and wounded, and the common people will also suffer.

War will always kill people, which is exactly what Xu Zhaohua doesn't want to see.

She decided to talk to Zhou Sheng Cuobai about this matter.

When Xu Zhaohua entered the tent, Song Hezhu was standing at the door, and she motioned that they could go to breakfast, and she would not have an accident here.

Song and Zhu glanced at each other, considering that they were indeed hungry, and they were also very relieved that Xu Zhaohua was here, so they did not shirk it, and left after thanking Xu Zhaohua.

Zhou Shengcuobai turned his back to the edge of the bed, and Xu Zhaohua slowly walked to his side and covered him with a quilt.

His wind chill is not yet healed, and he cannot get cold.

"Don't go." Zhou Sheng Cuobai suddenly spoke, with a hoarse voice in his voice.

Xu Zhaohua looked at his back and sighed, he still heard what she was talking about outside the tent with Xu Songchen and Yide. If it really is the person who knows her best, besides her mother, he is him.

She said slowly: "Cuobai, do you know that if I remove Sui Yue's voodoo, it is very likely that a war will be avoided."

Zhou Sheng Cuobai's emotions were a little excited, and he sat up from the bed with his body propped up: "That's just that it might avoid war, what if it can't be avoided?" Even if I could, I wouldn't let you take any chances!"

She had expected such an answer.

"I think we should give it a try."

Zhou Sheng Cuobai knew Xu Zhaohua very well, once she decided something, the nine cows couldn't pull it back. He loves her and loves her stubbornness, but he also feels sorry for her, loves and hates her stubbornness.

He had been missing her every day and night for five years when she had jumped off a cliff for him, and when his crispy returned to him, he vowed never to lose her again.

"If you want to go, I'll go too!" Zhou Shengcuobai gritted his teeth and said, enduring the pain in his heart and physical pain.

Seeing Zhou Shengcuobai like this, Xu Zhaohua knew that he would not let her go no matter what. For this situation, she could only promise him not to go to Daduan first:

"Well, in that case, I won't go. Let's discuss other strategies, don't be angry, pay attention to your body. ”

Zhou Shengcuo looked at Xu Zhaohua suspiciously, but seeing Xu Zhaohua's relieved face, he believed that Xu Zhaohua would not bring up the matter of going to Daduan again.

"Come on, it's time to drink the medicine." Xu Zhaohua handed the medicine bowl to Zhou Sheng Cuobai.

After taking the medicine and drinking it, Xu Zhaohua left in preparation for the morning training of the patrol soldiers. After that, Zhou Shengcuobai felt a little dizzy, and then a lingering tiredness hit, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

"Loose!" The scream of the people in the tent made the pine ridge outside cold, and the pine turned his head to look at the bamboo next to him, and the bamboo also wondered what was wrong with their master, and finally could only send the pine a good look.

Song walked into the tent and saw Zhou Shengcuobai sitting up on the bed, and there was a broken medicine bowl on the ground. He secretly thought in his heart: Could it be that the emperor is hungry? After all, after getting up in the morning, I saw him eat a little, and when he and Zhu came back from eating, they saw that the emperor had fallen asleep, and he didn't agree to call him a few times at noon.

Probably too sleepy......

"What about the Queen?" He snapped.

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother hasn't been here since I saw you in the morning." Song 1510 replied, in fact, he also felt a little strange, according to the past, since the emperor suffered from the cold, the queen mother would personally take care of the emperor to eat and drink medicine every day before and after meals, but today she only came once.

Could it be that the two of them had a little awkwardness? It shouldn't be, the queen mother has always been a calm character, who can do what this little woman does, but their queen Xu Zhaohua, if she is like this, she won't believe it.

"Not good! When is it?" Zhou Shengcuobai rubbed his temples and asked anxiously.

This sleep gave him a headache, how much medicine did this girl give him?

"Back to the emperor, the sun has set in the west. I haven't eaten much all day, so I want to go down and make you some food......

Before Song's words were finished, Zhou Sheng Cuobai flashed in front of his eyes, and stumbled out wearing only a shirt, and Song ran behind him with a coat.

Sure enough, when Zhou Shengcuobai ran to Xu Zhaohua's tent, there was no one inside.

At this time, Xu Zhaohua had already changed her outfit, wearing a very ordinary reddish-brown linen clothes, tied up her hair, faded away from the delicacy of her daughter's family, and was riding a horse among the mountains and mountains, running along the river to the Daduan capital.

One night, in the sound of horses' hooves, Xu Zhaohua arrived at the gate of the Daduan capital before dawn.

At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and Xu Zhaohua did not make people suspicious of how an ordinary woman could ride a horse, so she let the horse go after dismounting.

Her horse was smart enough to go back the way she came, and when Zhou Sheng Cuobai saw it, he would know that she had reached Daduan safely, so he didn't have to worry.

She had already arranged this.

There were not many soldiers guarding the city gate, and they all looked listless, and sure enough, their guess was right, and most of Daduan's troops were transferred to Xu Qingshan to attack Eastern Qi.

I don't know what Sui Chen's expression was when he knew that they had beaten most of Daduan's military strength without using a single soldier, it must have been very exciting.

Perhaps the requirements for the soldiers of the Eastern Qi are too high on weekdays, she always feels that the overall quality of the soldiers of other countries is not as good as that of the Eastern Qi, no wonder she heard her uncle say that the soldiers of the Eastern Qi were highly evaluated by the Yide Division when they first visited the barracks.

Xu Zhaohua couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.

She smeared some dust on her face and clothes, and staggered towards the gate of the capital with a vegetable basket on her shoulder, and sure enough, when she reached the door, she was stopped by a soldier:

"Stop! What for?"

Xu Zhaohua pretended to be very scared and said, "Return... When the poor woman went out to pick herbs, she accidentally fell into a ditch, and it took a night of hard work to barely climb up. ”

As soon as the soldier heard someone call him an official, he couldn't help but feel happy, he was usually used to being called by the people above, and he felt a little weight when he was suddenly called like this.

Look at the woman in front of her, her hair is messy and covers most of her face, she is wearing a coarse brown dress, and her whole face is gray-faced, and at first glance she is a country woman, she looks at her with disgust and says:

"Hurry in!"

Just as Xu Zhaohua passed by him, the officer and soldier suddenly grabbed her:

"Did you forget something?" As he spoke, he smiled wickedly, and the fingers of one hand repeatedly gestured.

Xu Zhaohua knew: he was asking for money.

So she said with a smile while digging out her pocket: "Look at my memory" took out a few copper plates and handed them to the soldiers: "I don't have much money, don't be too little, sir."

The officer and soldier disdainfully shook a few copper plates in his hand, looked around to make sure that no one was looking at him, and then quickly stuffed the copper plates into his pocket:

"That's it, it's not enough to stuff your teeth, go, go!" As he spoke, he sent Xu Zhaohua away.

After walking away, Xu Zhaohua arranged his hair, and smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth: You gave you just a few copper plates, and if you give too much, you may think that she was stolen.

As she walked, the sun rose, and the footsteps of the sun followed her on the central street of the capital city.

Now Xu Zhaohua urgently needs to solve the problem: how to enter the capital of Daduan.

However, while trying to find a way to enter the Daduan capital, she was also preparing to collect things about Sui Chen and Sui Yue among the people.

After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win all battles.

The morning market in the capital city of Daduan is slightly depressed compared to that in Dongqi, but on the whole it is still very lively, Xu Zhaohua walked aimlessly on the road, looking at the faces of the people around him, and the sound of children's fighting, which strengthened Xu Zhaohua's idea of stopping this war.

After thinking about it again and again, Xu Zhaohua finally chose two places to find out the news: a teahouse and a brothel.

The teahouse is a perennial place for salt merchants or cloth merchants from various countries to choose a temporary rest, basically the prince of which country married a concubine, which minister's wife brought him a green hat, and the lady in the palace and this lady did not deal with each other......

These miscellaneous romances, deceit, and intrigue are basically from the teahouse, and the news that she was obsessed with Zhou Shengchenmo in the previous life and the news that Zhou Shengchenmo saved her from the water also came to the market from here.

There are storytellers in a teahouse, and almost all of the storytellings in each country are related to their own country, so maybe she can know something about Sui Yue and Sui Chen from the storytelling.

And the nature of the brothel is the same as the teahouse, which dynasty and generation in various countries will have more or less some officials go to the brothel, some to talk about things, some are simply for fun, no matter which one, as long as she sneaks into the brothel, she will definitely find out some useful information.

Xu Zhaohua happened to see a teahouse at the end of the street, so he stepped in. Early in the morning, there was no one in the teahouse, Xu Zhaohua sat by the window and asked Xiao Er for a pot of tea, and then quietly thought about what to do next, thinking about whether Zhou Shengcuobai's wind and cold were better, and whether his brother was worried about her sudden departure......

What is Cuobai doing?

At this moment, on the other side, Zhou Shengcuobai finished drinking the medicine and looked at the tent quietly, after Xu Zhaohua took care of him for so many days, his wind and cold gradually improved, and when he got up, he saw Xu Zhaohua's horse returning, knowing that she had arrived safely in the capital of Daduan, and he was a little relieved.

What is Puff Pastry doing?

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and the people in the teahouse gradually increased.

There was a table of men sitting next to Xu Zhaohua, all of them were strong and strong, and their voices were very loud, Xu Zhaohua inferred from the content of their conversation and clothing that they were a group of officers and soldiers.

After a few bowls of wine, a bearded man whispered, "Why do you say that the king didn't let the Praetorian Guards patrol the Western Third Palace these days?" ”

A lean but elf-looking man patted the big man on the belly and said, "Do you eat every day for you to taste?" Why don't you have a brain? It must be that the West Third Palace is hiding something that people can't know! ”

Xu Zhaohua caught the direction of the wind here, and listened to them carefully with a sideways face.

"What is it? Are there any new concubines? A white-faced man said with a grimace.

"Go, go, isn't it a matter of holy decree for the king to seal a concubine, and there is still a need to cover it up?" The big man retorted.

"Don't talk about it, eat when you should eat, drink when you need to drink."

A man with a yellow skin and a square face may have noticed that Xu Zhaohua was paying attention to the content of their conversation, so Xu Zhaohua stopped them from continuing the conversation, and the others immediately stopped talking, presumably this man was their superior.

Based on the information he heard bits and pieces, Xu Zhaohua came to a conclusion: Sui Chen, who wanted to blackmail the king, had a secret in the West Third Palace.

After there were many people, there was a storyteller who came up to talk about the commentary, most of which were continuous stories, sometimes some folk weird legends, and sometimes some emperors and generals.

Today's storyteller is talking about the emperor and the general, and the protagonist of the story is the past between the king of the dynasty and his brother Sui Chen, which greatly aroused Xu Zhaohua's interest.

It is probably said that Sui Yue was very dependent on his brother Sui Chen when he was young, and the two brothers were born to a mother, and the relationship was very good since childhood......

This made Xu Zhaohua very puzzled, since the relationship between the two is so good, why it has come to this point.

Could it be that each has a ghost and is acting on the spot?

After leaving the teahouse, Xu Zhaohua was about to go to the best Qinglou here as planned, but he looked at his outfit......

No, you have to change it.

took out a hairpin casually, Xu Zhaohua went to the pawnshop, and when he came out, he took a heavy bag of silver.

When she came out, everything had already been calculated, the silver was too heavy to carry, but things like hairpins, earrings, and bracelets were different, and she could pawn a lot of silver if she took out one piece.

I went to the tailor shop to find a men's dress made of silk, bought a pair of riding boots, and put on a folding fan with landscape calligraphy and paintings, and a young man walked out of the tailor shop and walked in the direction of the Qinglou.

The old bustard in the Qinglou saw Xu Zhaohua wearing such luxurious clothes, and looked up and down, she had never seen such a gentle young man, and couldn't help but be stunned, but soon returned to normal:

"Oops! Which family is this such a handsome son, please here, please here. The old bustard greeted her with a smile on his face.

Xu Zhaohua could only smile wryly: "Take me to the best room and find the most expensive girl." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhaohua coughed a few times, she always felt a little uncomfortable recently, suddenly cold and hot.

The old bustard pretended to be embarrassed: "The most expensive girl? This.... That's a lot of money. ”

Xu Zhaohua threw her a bag of white silver: "Take it, this is a deposit, there will be more after the event, let's go!" ”

The old bustard's face when he got the silver was about to laugh like a flower, and he led Xu Zhaohua to a corner room on the second floor, and asked her to wait in the room for a while, ready to prepare, and the girl would arrive soon.

Ready to prepare? What is there to prepare......

This room is not very big, but it has everything, the layout is also very cleverly arranged, there is a large hollow carved solid mahogany bed on the side of the wall, the color of the table and the bed are matched and the mahogany is solid, and the tea set on the table is a rare color glaze......

It's well spent.

"Childe, can you come in?" A delicate female voice sounded outside the door.

Xu Zhaohua cleared his throat: "Come in!" ”

The door was slowly pushed open, and a delicate-looking, red-clothed woman shook a white goose feather fan and twisted her figure in front of Xu Zhaohua:

"Childe, what kind of flavor do you like, and what do you need the slave family to do?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to Xu Zhaohua's face, and her action made Xu Zhaohua get goosebumps all over her body, and she reflexively pushed her to the ground.

"Oops!" The woman in red let out a long and soft voice.

"You don't have to do anything, you just sit here and say whatever I ask." Xu Zhaohua pointed to the stool in front of the table.

Is this the best green house and the most expensive girl in Darui Capital? As soon as it came up, it was attached to the man.

The woman in red obviously hasn't seen this situation, after all, the men come to the Qinglou just to have fun, this kind of money to talk to someone is really unprecedented, could it be that this person has a habit of breaking sleeves?

got up from the ground and patted her body, she sat on the stool in a regular manner, and Xu Zhaohua did it on the stool at the other end of the table, and the two faced each other.

"How long have you been in this Qinglou," Xu Zhaohua asked.

The woman in red looked up at the sky: "How long can I live, how long I can live, my mother gave birth to me here, and I was born with this cheap life." ”

Xu Zhaohua didn't expect her to answer like this, so she was stunned for a moment and continued to ask: "Then which officials have you seen coming, and who have you entertained?" ”

"There are more officials here, and there are many people I have entertained."

"What do they say on weekdays?" Xu Zhaohua asked.

The woman in red became vigilant: "Childe, why are you asking this?" ”

Xu Zhaohua immediately replied: "Actually, it's not a secret, my father wants me to take the imperial examination, but I really don't know how to deal with the government affairs of the court, so I have no choice but to be in business at home, and there is no one in politics to guide me, so I made this decision." ”

The answer is like a stream, seamless.

The woman in red let down her vigilance: "I see, in fact, they didn't discuss anything important, if they never discussed it in the wing room of the Qinglou, what they said every day was nothing more than which colleague married a few concubines to make people envious of such things, just like a long-tongued woman." ”

"Is that all?" Xu Zhaohua was a little anxious.

"By the way, someone recently mentioned that the king is preparing to repair the underground palace and recruit a large number of soldiers." The woman in red said.

Recruit soldiers? Repair the underground palace? What does Sui Chen want to do?

Xu Zhaohua then asked, "Do you know the reason for this?" ”

"I don't know this, those ministers and officers don't know." The woman in red replied.

Xu Zhaohua is very curious at the moment, even the minister doesn't know, it's definitely not an official matter, isn't there anything related to the prohibition of patrolling the West Twelve Palaces, building the underground palace and recruiting troops?

While thinking about it, she heard a few voices outside the window, the voice was very familiar, Xu Zhaohua hurriedly ran to the window.

Zhou Shengchen Mo! and the person next to him was Sui Chen, followed by Xian Yue and a woman who looked amazing but was not charming.

How could they be in the Green House?

Xu Zhaohua immediately called the woman in red over and asked her if she knew about those people.

"Shhhh The woman in red immediately closed the window.

Xu Zhaohua took out a few ingots of gold and a few gold hairpins from his waist: "These things are for you, enough for you to redeem for a lifetime, tell me everything you know about them immediately." ”

The woman in red saw the things on the table and hesitated, she really didn't want to live this kind of life, and with this money, she could be relieved.

"Those people are the powerful people of the Daduan royal family, and they will talk to a few strangely dressed women in the back garden of the Qinglou every once in a while, and never let us pass, only let that woman serve on the side."

Xu Zhaohua understood: To put it bluntly, Qinglou is just a cover, just to make their meeting less speculative.
