Linjiang, the most important city in Qingzhou, finally opened the city gate on September 22, took the initiative to surrender, welcomed Xiao Qingyun into the city, and served him as the master. The vast majority of the generals of Linjiang voted for the cadres, and a few who had objections were beheaded by their former colleagues before the city gate was opened.

Of the 110,000 garrison soldiers in Linjiang, 70,000 were willing to stay and continue to serve Xiao Qingyun's cadres, and the remaining 40,000 were released home to become a member of the peasants in the tun. The victory of Linjiang City was the largest number of people in a single collection since Xiao Qingyun raised his troops. Moreover, for the first time, the cadres tasted the sweetness of surrendering without a fight.

In Linjiang City, the generals of the cadre army no longer doubted Shen Rongzhi, a young man, and everyone thought that he was a well-deserved commander. And Xiao Qingyun dared to listen to Shen Rongzhi's advice and made a seemingly risky choice, which also made the veterans particularly admired.

At this time, King Ding was uncomfortable, he had a total of 200,000 husbands, which was also the confidence for him to dare to resist Emperor Wei, and now Xiao Qingyun got about 120,000 from the previous three cities, leaving only a few 80,000 people. Although Xiao Qingyun let a lot of recruits go home, he still recruited more than 70,000 Qingzhou soldiers, plus his previous 30,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are 100,000 people in the cadre army, which is more than the men and horses in his hands.

Moreover, Xiao Qingyun currently occupies the central part of Qingzhou, dividing Qingzhou into two. King Dingwang himself was blocked in Donglai County, and Jinan, Pingyuan, and other places with more densely populated troops were all west of Linjiang, and he couldn't reach it. King Ding had no choice but to ask Yuwen Moyuan for help at this time, but Xiao Qingyun had already ordered someone to block the Beihai and Chengyang lines, and he couldn't even send a distress letter now.

And Yuwen Moyuan didn't expect that Xiao Qingyun would be able to capture the central part of Qingzhou in less than two months, and take Linjiang, a battleground for soldiers. But he was busy with two other things now, and he didn't have the heart to care about the battle on Qingzhou's side. And Zhao Guogong couldn't concentrate because of the things in Yonghua City, so he just ordered people to strictly guard the front line of Yanzhou, and did not send troops to Qingzhou.

In the past two months, it is not only the situation in Qingzhou that has undergone earth-shaking changes, but also the prince's mansion in Yonghua City. It all started three months ago in June.

In June, Yuwen Moyuan went to Rong Ji's courtyard once because of a misunderstanding of Lan Jing'an. Although he left without even taking off his clothes, Rong Ji was still hated by the other women in the prince's mansion. She was embarrassed to say that the prince went to her bed in front of other women in the backyard, and left without even taking off her clothes, and she still pretended to be infinitely shy the next day.

And her appearance is just in the way of other people's eyes, and she inadvertently offended the crown princess. The crown princess Zhao Wanyao has always hated this bewitching-looking beautiful woman, and when she heard that the prince had not slept with a woman in the back garden for several months, but she singled out Rong Ji, the anger in her heart couldn't be suppressed. No matter how the maidservants around him persuaded her, she still found a reason and beat Rong Ji.

And Rong Ji just wanted to show off, she didn't want to offend the hostess in the backyard. If Rong Ji's glory is all tied to the crown prince alone, then her life can be held in the hands of the crown princess. She hurriedly explained that the prince didn't sleep with her at all that night, but just walked around and went back to the private garden behind.

She also told Zhao Wanyao the prince's sentence "You are not her" before leaving. It's a pity that Zhao Wanyao didn't believe it at all, so she still dragged her out to relieve her anger. Rong Ji gritted her teeth angrily, she didn't believe it, she couldn't find out who the vixen in the private garden was. When the time comes, she will lead the fox spirit to Zhao Wanyao to see if Zhao Wanyao is even more angry.

She even happily thought that it would be better for the crown princess to beat that vixen and kill her. Maybe the prince saw Zhao Wanyao's brutal appearance and abolished her in anger, so it could be regarded as revenge for his hatred of being snatched by the fox spirit and being beaten by Zhao Wanyao.

But it was not easy to get close to the private garden, and she wasted a lot of effort but did not succeed. After working hard for more than half a month, her maidservant Xiaohong and an old gardener in the Mulan Garden got on the line. The old gardener is okay with everything else, but he is lustful, but he married a Hedong lion, and his mother-in-law only needs to look at him and a woman's eyebrows, no matter how old the other party is, what the reason is, he will be beaten up.

The old gardener was miserable, but his job was introduced by the mother-in-law who was guarding the door in the courtyard of Mulan Garden in the middle of the night, and he couldn't afford to offend her, so he could only endure the Hedong lion silently. As a result, one day when he came home from Mulan Garden, he happened to bump into Xiaohong, who tried to probe, and Xiaohong didn't stand firmly, fell to the ground and sprained her foot.

Xiaohong originally wanted to scold this old thing who didn't have long eyes, but when she saw his waist card, she showed a look of resentment, and the old gardener who saw it suddenly softened her bones. Xiaohong, who is deeply rooted in Rong Ji's true biography, hooked the old gardener in a few words. Although the old gardener was afraid of his mother-in-law, the woman did the vigil, and he always tended to the flowers and trees during the day, which provided an excellent opportunity for the old gardener to cheat.

Rong Ji was born in the Qinglou when she was young, but because her appearance was too outstanding, the proprietress of the Qinglou was reluctant to give her ** and gave it to the magistrate as a gift. As a result, the magistrate also felt that such a posture was not something he could bear, and instead gave it to the prime minister as a big gift. Cheng had just formed an alliance with Yuwen Moyuan, and when he felt that he was young and most greedy for the beauty of flowers, he gave it to him again.

And Xiaohong, who is beside Rong Ji, has followed her since the Qinglou period. Xiaohong was not so lucky as a maidservant, she broke her body in the Qinglou early, and she has been absent in the Prince's Mansion for a long time in the past few years. originally thought that with Rong Ji's color, he would definitely be able to ascend to the sky in one step, and he would be able to get a piece of the pie. I didn't expect Yuwen Moyuan to be a person who doesn't love women, let alone her, even Rong Ji rarely touches it, and in the past year or so, she simply hasn't even come here for Rong Ji.

Although Xiaohong got together with the old gardener in order to find out the news, she didn't expect the two of them to have fun. After Xiaohong got acquainted with the old gardener, she slowly asked about his private garden. The old gardener loved this young lover so much that he confessed everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

When Xiaohong reported to Rong Ji one by one, Rong Ji angrily broke a long nail she had raised since she was a child: "Magnolia? Good, good, good little goblin! Not only did he hold the prince and didn't let him come to the backyard, but even the private garden was changed to Mulan Garden! It's shameless! What kind of lady should you be, I'm sorry, you are also worthy! It must be a flower sister who came out of the green building and didn't dare to live in the backyard! I'd like to see what that slut looks like! ”

Rong Ji then asked Xiaohong to ask the old gardener for the waist card, saying that she wanted to go into the Magnolia Garden to have a look. Little Red took the order to find the old gardener. But this time the old gardener was so shocked that he did not dare to agree to her. Xiaohong took out her good skills of coquettishness and trickery, and asked the old gardener to hug her and shout her heart.
