Chapter 117: Three Dates

Li Mingzhong glanced at Liao Ziling and said, "Chen has had a lot of contacts with Sima Yongcheng, and he has also seen Sima Hongyan a few times in his mansion. At that time, Sima Hongyan gave the minister the feeling that he was introverted, silent and silent, and his demeanor was gentle, and he was full of everyone's beautiful appearance. Sima Yongcheng also said to his ministers that he hoped that his daughter would learn more piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not be contaminated with martial arts habits, be a beautiful lady, and marry in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mingzhong paused, thought about it and said: "Later, Sima Hongyan was promised to the eldest prince, and until Sima Yongcheng died, the minister did not notice that Sima Hongyan's behavior had changed. Later, later......"

Hearing that Li Mingzhong wanted to speak and stopped, Emperor Yanzhen understood what he was going to say, so he said for him: "Later, because of the incident with the Northern Spirit Messenger, I canceled her marriage contract with Yan Qi. You're talking about this, right? ”

Li Mingzhong hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare!" However, because of this incident, Sima Hongyan was hit hard, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he committed suicide by taking poison. Later, the minister also traced this matter to the post-mortem at that time, and Sima Hongyan's poison was indeed in his lungs, and he died of exhaustion, and there was no possibility of resurrection. On the day of her burial, she miraculously came back to life, and then her temperament changed, just as she is today. ”

This is the first time Emperor Yanzhen has heard of these things, and he only knew that Sima Hongyan came back from the dead, which caused a lot of uproar in the world. But I didn't know that Sima Hongyan's personality had changed because of this incident, and when I heard Li Mingzhong say it today, I felt strange in my heart, and I couldn't help but look at Sima Hongyan in the hall from the square hole.

In fact, Emperor Yanzhen's first impression of Sima Hongyan came from last year's Chongyang Banquet, especially her weird gift "Jiangshan Yonggu". The gift was nothing unusual, but Sima Hongyan's cunning and eloquence, boldness and calmness really left a deep memory on Emperor Yanzhen.

I didn't know anything about her except that she was Sima Yongcheng's daughter. Speaking of appearance, even the name of Emperor Yanzhen may not be able to say. Because Sima Hongyan was too obscure and too ordinary at that time, he was completely no different from the children of all official eunuchs, and even less outstanding than the children of some princes. agreed to marry her to the eldest prince as the princess, or for the sake of Sima Yongcheng's face.

Although Sima Hongyan was witty at the Chongyang banquet, it was limited to Emperor Yanzhen's affection for her, but he didn't care about it afterwards.

Later, at the palace test of the martial arts conference half a year later, it was only because Sima Hongyan put forward an idea of establishing a female army that Emperor Yanzhen paid special attention to this woman. Later, through some of Sima Hongyan's actions, Emperor Yanzhen attached great importance to her today.

Judging from Sima Hongyan's performance before and after, it is indeed very different, and Emperor Yanzhen couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart at this time.

At this time, Liao Ziling said: "Your Majesty! The minister dared to say a word. No matter what changes Sima Hongyan has, but she is wholeheartedly thinking about my Yanling at the moment, and she is doing her best to form a women's army, and today she is working hard to train these princes and disciples for the battle of the five countries. The minister thought that as long as she cared about Yanling and contributed to the country, everything else was nothing to worry about. After speaking, he glanced at Li Mingzhong.

Emperor Yanzhen nodded with relief and said, "General Liao's words are extremely right! It seems that we are overthinking. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Yanzhen looked into the hall from the square hole again. Everyone in the hall was busy with their own affairs, and Sima Hongyan, Shi Jinyan, and Ban Lingruo were talking about something.

Suddenly, Sima Hongyan turned around, unintentionally or unintentionally, and glanced in the direction of the secret room.

Emperor Yanzhen was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the voice I spoke just now was noticed by her?" ”

Sima Hongyan's strange behavior was also seen by Shi Jinyan. Ask her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Sima Hongyan thought about it, and had an indescribable feeling. So he said to Shi Jinyan: "Do you feel that someone is staring at us? ”

Shi Jinyan didn't understand this brainless words, and said strangely: "Someone is staring at us? As he spoke, he looked around at the other people who were practicing, and then said, "I didn't notice anyone looking at us!" ”

In fact, Sima Hongyan couldn't accurately describe her feelings, and said, "I mean, could someone be watching us in the dark?" ”

Ban Lingruo looked around and said, "How is this possible? The palace has been completely sealed, and the hall is clearly visible, and if there is someone else we can't find out. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I can't say for sure, but I have a strange feeling, as if a pair of eyes have been staring at me." But as Xiaomei said, it is impossible to hide others here, so I wonder if it is an illusion. ”

Shi Jinyan said: "Could it be that there are people sent to monitor us among these people?" Then he denied his own statement and said: "We know the details of these people, it can't be them." ”

But Sima Hongyan said: "Actually, I have had this strange feeling since yesterday. It's just that I can't get it for a while, so I didn't mention it. ”

"Since yesterday?" Shi Jinyan exclaimed: "It was produced as soon as you entered here?" ”

Sima Hongyan thought for a while and said, "No! This feeling comes and goes, but it's very vague anyway, otherwise I wouldn't have been so hesitant. As he was speaking, Sima Hongyan's brows suddenly tightened, and his voice lowered but said extremely solemnly: "That feeling seems to have disappeared again all of a sudden!" ”

In the past, Sima Hongyan's feelings were quite keen, and her words attracted Shi Jinyan's attention.

Shi Jinyan said to the two sisters: "Whether it's an illusion or not, I think it's better for us to check this palace." Hongyan's words gave me a very bad premonition! ”

Emperor Yanzhen, who was looking out in the secret room, was secretly taken aback when he heard the conversation between the sisters. I didn't expect Sima Hongyan to be so sensitive, and quickly withdrew his gaze from her. At the same time, he waved his hand to Liao Ziling behind him.

Liao Ziling understood, and immediately carefully sealed the hole with bricks and stones, and used a piece of wood to hold up the bricks and stones from the inside to prevent people from pushing them from the outside. Seeing that everything was cleaned up, Emperor Yanzhen beckoned to the two ministers, and the three of them quietly opened the door of the secret room, and left without daring to make a sound.

But Sima Hongyan didn't know what was going on, and the three of them cautiously went around to take a closer look. After a turn, the three of them returned to their place, shook their heads at each other, and found nothing.

At this time, the three sisters secretly winked at themselves, and then pretended that nothing had happened, and returned to their seats to continue talking, but each of them kept an eye on it, secretly paying attention to the actions of the others.

The morning passed without incident. At lunchtime, the people who had gone to the back hall to rest returned to the hall one after another. After this morning's rest, everyone's faces were really radiant and energetic.

In the afternoon, everyone had memorized the information of each country, and had planned a corresponding strategy, but there were still some things that needed to be scrutinized, and everyone gathered together and put forward them for everyone to discuss.

Information can only be used as a reference, and Sima Hongyan reminds everyone not to rely entirely on the content of intelligence. Because people are the most variable, improvisation is the main purpose of victory. She also cited Guo Zidi as an example, because she followed the content of the intelligence too much, she had such a hard battle as yesterday, and the outcome was unpredictable.

After getting along for the past two days, the knowledge, courage, and courage of the Sima Hongyan sisters really convinced everyone, so they took Sima Hongyan's instructions as a warning.

On the third day, everyone was full of confidence, even if they were not confident. I still have some expectations for the battle of the Five Kingdoms that will start the next day. Except for some people who still have a little bit of minutiae that need to be studied again, basically everyone has begun to enter a state of preparation.

Regarding other people's questions, Sima Hongyan and Shi Jinyan knew everything, and they said everything. Even if some problems cannot be solved for a while, we will work with everyone to find a way and come up with countermeasures together.

During this period, in addition to the three sisters Sima Hongyan, four of the other five women found Sima Hongyan in private, saying that after the Five Nations Competition, they had the expectation of wanting to join the women's army. However, the big war is imminent, Sima Hongyan did not refrain or agree, and everything will be discussed after the competition.

The three-day closed training was coming to an end, and this night was the last night for everyone in the palace. In order to ensure the state of tomorrow's game, Sima Hongyan arranged for everyone to rest early. But after returning to his room, Sima Hongyan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

From tomorrow onwards, the fate of Yanling will be on everyone in this palace. I wonder how many people can sleep this night?
