Regarding the situation in the capital that Zhou Jue asked, Qu Shao seriously analyzed and said: "Let's talk about the court first: the ministers have been divided into two factions openly and secretly, and most of them want to surrender, but the prince killed three adults in a row, and even two of them were beheaded all over the house, so everyone thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to declare it." ”

Zhou Jue sighed: "I remember that the prince has always been cautious and generous, compared to the fourth brother, there will always be some leeway for others, but I didn't expect it to be like this now." ”

Caution? Generous? Ji Ying and those present who knew what was going on laughed secretly. Zhou Xuan is worthy of being a master of acting, and even deceived his own brother.

"What about the other faction?" Zhou Jue asked.

Qu Shao glanced at Li Chengyu and Li Yuhan, and said, "This ......"

"It's the main battle faction led by Bo Weihou, right? The Grand Commander just said it, and he didn't have to worry about us. Lee Seung-woo said.

Qu Shao said "disrespectful" and said: "Bo Weihou is deeply trusted by the crown prince, and now he is in charge of most of the army in the capital, and our forbidden army will also be held hostage by him. He instigated the crown prince to ascend the throne and become emperor several times, and wanted to command the king of the world. In addition to the Shu army, he also contacted the Hunan army and the Chu army, but the two troops were still waiting and watching, and there was no real action. ”

"I really don't understand, what the hell does Bo Weihou want to do!" Li Yuhan patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Why did he do this?" Why make mistakes again and again?! Brother, let's go back, let's go ask him together! ”

Although Li Chengyu's face was uncertain, he was not as excited as his younger brother, and he said, "Do you think there is any point in asking him?" What he has done for so many years do you not understand? ”

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Lee Seung-woo was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." I've wanted to meet him for a long time. ”

Ji Ying looked at the two brothers, and her heart was sour.

Qu Shao said: "The two sons don't need to be in a hurry, wait for the situation to slow down, find a suitable time, and Qu will invite the two more into the city." Now that the city is in chaos, it is inevitable that it will not be safe to act. ”

"It's messy in town?" Zhou Jue asked.

"It's messy. The people did not know when the confrontation between the two armies would end, so the people were panicked. Not to mention ordinary people, even the big families and big businessmen don't dare to go out easily. In the market, there have been no shops for a long time, especially grain stores and pharmacies, and the doors of the shops are closed, lest the people go crazy and rob them, and then not only will they lose their money, but they are likely to lose their lives. ”

"Are the people running out of food to eat?"

"Although it is not enough to open the pot, there is not much surplus food left. And in order to feed the soldiers in the city, the prince levied grain from the people several times. Every time, when the grain was collected, it was said that the grain would be returned to the people soon, but every time it was lost in the sea, and there was no news. The common people also dare to be angry but dare not speak. ”

The struggle for political power has always benefited those in power, and it is not the common people who have suffered. I can only hope that the world will be peaceful as soon as possible.

Everyone present was silent for a while, and Zhou Jue noticed that Rong Ci beside him always looked at Qu Shao, looking like he wanted to say something, and suddenly remembered something. He asked Qu Shao: "Dare to ask the Great Commander, what is the situation of Lord Rong now?" ”

Rong Ci's eyes became warm.

Qu Shao said: "Rest assured, Lord Rong is fine, and now he is taking refuge from Duanmu Gongzi of the Cloud Dart Bureau." ”

"Duanmu?" Ji Ying and Rong Ci spoke in unison.

Ji Ying said: "Didn't Brother Jinyan be imprisoned by the prince? How could it be there in Duanmu? ”

Qu Shao explained: "Not long after Lord Rong was imprisoned in the prison, I found Duanmu Gongzi. At that time, Duanmu Gongzi was also very anxious and wanted to protect Lord Rong, so I told Duanmu Gongzi about Lord Rong's plan. Later, we used Miss Rong's servants Ah Feng to replace Master Rong and hid him in the Congyun Dart Bureau. ”

"Ah Feng?" Rong Cixiu's eyes widened, "Ah Feng went to the prison for my eldest brother?" How is he? ”

"Miss Rong, don't worry, I've already asked the brothers in prison to take care of it."

Rong Ci clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you, Great Commander!" ”

Qu Shao returned the salute and said, "Miss Rong is too polite, it's all Qu's business." Speaking of which, it is Duanmu Gongzi who has been working hard, if he hadn't taken care of him up and down, we wouldn't have acted so smoothly. Before I came out, Lord Rong asked me to bring a message to everyone, and he wanted to talk to Master Ji face-to-face. ”

"Talk to me? Am I the only one? ”

Qu Shao looked around at everyone present, and everyone had nervous looks on their faces, especially Jiang Yichen and the Li family brothers, who had already stood up. Qu Shao only thought that they were friendly with Ji Ying, and without thinking deeply, he said, "This adult didn't say anything. However, with Qu's ability, he can also bring someone in. Lord Ji is ready to prepare, and the day after tomorrow, I will pick you up again. ”

Ji Ying said: "I'm tired." Commander, how are the rest of the city doing? Is everyone safe? ”

"Rest assured, you're safe. A few months ago, the prince raided Ji's mansion, but fortunately, Gongzi You took several juniors from Lingnan to Beijing for free clinics, dressed Mrs. Zun as a medicine boy, and hid in an inconspicuous pharmacy opened by the You family. ”

Ji Ying clasped her hands together and said gratefully, "Thank God! It turned out that it was the nomadic wild who saved Miaomiao, so I said, if Miaomiao is also from the Cloud Dart Bureau, it must be very unsafe. When I was ordered to send Beidi, I thought that Beidi was the tiger's den in Longtan, so I had to let her go back to the capital. Heaven forbid! ”

Jiang Yichen looked at Ji Ying's happy appearance, and he was also happy, and said, "You also forget about it, so you don't have to talk about it all the time." ”

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell His Royal Highness King Qi."

"What's the matter?"

Qu Shao's voice lowered slightly: "Since His Royal Highness King Yan absorbed the Zhao army, the situation in Chang'an has become tense. Due to his humble negligence, half a month ago, Zhou Yan, the fourth son of the emperor, took advantage of the chaos in the capital and escaped from the forbidden garden, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Zhou Jue's eyelids jumped and said, "My fourth emperor brother...... What do you mean......"

"Now that the power of the four princes has been wiped out, there is no need to worry about it, it's just that, to say something taboo, the four princes are fierce and narrow-minded. It was Lord Ji and King Xiaohuai who exposed his crimes, and His Majesty put him under house arrest, thinking that he was quite resentful. I want to say that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, so be careful. ”

Ji Ying, Jiang Yichen, and Zhou Jue all took the Li family brothers to salute Qu Shao. Ji Ying said: "The Great Commander is dedicated to waiting for me, and I am waiting for the five feelings." We will be careful, so rest assured, Commander. ”

Qu Shao returned the salute and said: "This is Qu's responsibility." If you need it, do not hesitate to show it. ”
