[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 562

By mid-March, Huang and the others had recovered after half a month of recuperation. These two aunts have always been known for their ability, and when they first helped, Wei Changying and Ji Chunmian, who were busy before, were greatly relieved, not to mention that they were able to relax immediately, but they were also much calmer.

In a few days, there was a big news in the imperial capital, saying that Emperor Xingping was sad that the clan was withering, especially that almost none of the sect daughters survived, and decided to restore the royal status of Shuren Shenbao and then crown him as a princess. And Shenbao insisted on using his original title, which was to revert to Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin.

Shenbao can live, and it is also a big fate.

When the Duanmu family decided to break through before, considering Duanmu Xinmiao's medical skills, they decided to make an exception and bring her, the only female dependent. However, Duanmu Xinmiao was worried about his sister and nephew, so he couldn't resign, but took advantage of the martyrdom of his grandfather Duanmu to go to King Cai's mansion to find his sister Duanmu Weimiao.

Of course, Duanmu Weimiao was surprised when she saw her at that time, but she didn't wait for Duanmu Weimiao to force her to chase after the Duanmu family's team, but Duanmu Xinmiao told a secret - there are secret passages and secret rooms in Ji's house, and the point is that there is also water in it.

This secret passage and drinking water were a way that Ji Quzhi tried when he was thinking about breaking away from the control of the old lady Song of the Wei family.

According to Ji Qu's plan, he dug a secret passage to the outside of the city, so as to escape to Xiliang to find his uncle. With Ji Qu's illness, even if Old Madam Song is not in the imperial capital, of course, it is impossible to hide Old Madam Song's eyes and do such a trick.

Therefore, this matter was handed over to Duanmu Xinmiao.

At that time, Duanmu Xinmiao had lived alone in another courtyard for several years, as the unmarried daughter of the Duanmu family, and her biological mother had passed away, she had no savings. However, her grandmother and sister Queen Mother Cai gave her a large amount of jewelry, especially jadeite.

In addition, Duanmu Xinmiao is obsessed with medical skills, and in order to study medical pharmacology, he often sends people to pawn these things. So when she raised money, she didn't attract attention.

After that, she concealed her purpose, consulted the Queen Mother Cai, and chose a loyal old servant among the people left behind by the two biological mothers to entrust the matter.

The old servant was quite capable, and first made people buy the mansion that was later called the Ji Mansion, and then he found a group of people to do it.

However, those who found it said that this secret passage was easy to dig, and it was impossible to dig all the way to the outside of the city, because the foundation of the city wall was extremely deep and thick, and soldiers patrolled the city every day.

If they pass through the wall, not to mention whether they have the ability to break through the foundation of the city wall, in the process of opening up, the vibration will be transmitted to the city, and the city guards will definitely find out. If you don't go through, you can only dig the secret tunnel deeper than the foundation of the city wall...... They can't do that kind of fortification - just the imperial capital, the most prosperous and majestic city in the world, the depth of the city wall, is that the enemy army is attacking the city, and it is a bit wishful thinking to dig into the city from under the city wall.

The old servant reported these words back to Duanmu Xinmiao, and after Duanmu Xinmiao thought about it, he offered advice to his master Ji Quai: Anyway, the purpose of Ji Quai's illness was to get out of the control of the Wei family, not to go out of the city through the tunnel. Since this method doesn't work, I just dig a tunnel, hide enough water, and sneak in to live for a long time without paying attention to it. If you don't see anyone for a year or two, Old Madam Song will suspect that he has left the imperial capital, and when Old Madam Song relaxes her surveillance, Ji Qu's illness can go quietly......

Although there were still all kinds of loopholes in her idea, Ji Quzhi was about to go crazy when she wanted to get out, so she adopted it.

So Duanmu Xinmiao asked the old servant to dig the secret room in the secret passage, prepare enough dry food for easy storage, and dig a well in the secret room...... With the ruthlessness of their master and apprentice, they had to kill all the people involved in this matter, except for the old servant.

Then Ji Qubing deliberately provoked a grudge with the Ji family, and pretended to back down and bought this well-furnished house - after he lived in this Ji house, he refused to treat people easily, thinking about the "disappearance".

However, what Ji Quai's master and apprentice didn't expect was that Old Madam Song would actually ask the Huang family to arrange someone to serve him closely...... The Huang family even sent his second son's family over......

With Ni Tao and his wife watching, Ji Quzhi couldn't find a reliable opportunity to enter the secret passage. In order not to expose the back road left by Duanmu Xinmiao's painstaking efforts and not hesitating to kill people and kill eloquence, Ji Quai's illness could only be suppressed. As a result, he actually found a way to completely cure Wei Zhenghong, so there was no need to do this.

So this secret passage and the secret room in the secret passage remained.

Coincidentally, the food sent in when Duanmu Xinmiao sent people to build this secret passage was of course inedible at this time. But before Ji Quai, he released a wind saying that he had been able to cure Wei Zhenghong, in order to prevent assassination, he prepared another batch of dry food and sent it in, in case the situation was wrong, he hid in it to avoid the limelight.

That batch of food has only been put in for a few years, and it has been stored in the cellar, and some of it is still edible-even if it is slightly poisonous, Duanmu Xinmiao can remove it by bringing a few handfuls of medicinal materials from Ji's mansion before entering.

When she made this secret passage, it was to prevent the Wei family from tracking down, of course, it was very hidden - after all, if Ji Qu's illness disappeared under the circumstances at that time, the Wei family would definitely dig this house three feet into the ground.

Compared with the secret passage built with this kind of request, most of the attention of those Rong people was on the high-ranking families, so after leading King Cai's mother and son, Shen Bao, and Ni Tao and his wife to go in together, in addition to worrying about not enough food and saving money every day, there was nothing to worry about in terms of safety.

After Wei Changying learned about this before, she was quite emotionally embarrassed that the Gu family after the abolition of Emperor Huanzong was really powerful: if the Gu family had entrusted Shenbao to someone else, even if it was her maiden brother, it would have been a martyrdom with the elders when the imperial capital changed; But it was entrusted to Duanmu Xinmiao, and then it was placed by the younger sister of Queen Cai...... Unexpectedly, the two sisters of the Duanmu family not only chose their lives, but they were still in danger!

Otherwise, with Shen Bao's appearance that is enough to be called a red face and trouble, is this kind of world still afraid that there will be less trouble?

It's a pity that the abolished queen, whether before or after his death, can be called a wise man, but he gave birth to such an indisputable son as Shen Xun. The position of the prince who was originally as stable as a mountain could be tossed away by him, not to mention, which led to the fall of the Gu family and the death of his uncle Gu Xiaode......

Thinking of Shen Xun, Wei Changying's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly raised his head and asked Shi Man'er: "Someone came over from Beijing yesterday, can you ask how your husband is doing recently?" ”

Among the sons of the Shen family and the huge number of dowries of Wei Changying, of course, the Huang family is not the only one who survived. As these people gradually knew that the Wei army had entered the city, came out of the previous hiding place one after another, and found the shore of Chuncao Lake, Shi Man'er was under a lot of pressure, and now he became more and more respectful, and he hurriedly said: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the maid asked, the Taoist is the master, he has been worrying about baggage these days, although Shen Die is watching, he still stayed up late in the first two days. ”

…… After burying Shen Xuan and others, the Shen family changed their minds, Shen Zangfeng's generation was no longer called a son, but was promoted to a master, and Wei Changying and Huo Qingling also became the third lady and the sixth lady.

Moreover, Emperor Xingping's ascension to the throne was led by Shen Zangfeng, and he wanted to repay the favor.

Originally, Ming Peitang had the hereditary title of Marquis Yongding, and Emperor Xingping was a puppet, so he didn't care about whether the Shen family was powerful or not, so he simply took the initiative to propose to add another level to him as the Duke of Dingguo. The Su family was succeeded by Su Xiuming, and was also added to the Marquis of Kang as the Duke of Kangguo.

Only the Liu family only received some symbolic praise and money and silk rewards from the imperial court, and did not mention the title...... Obviously, let them fight to a result, or the imperial court, or the Shen family and the Su family, do not want to interfere, at least not yet, in this battle of Burning Quinoa.

It seems that the Shen family now seems to have the initiative, even though the Great Wei Guozuo only has his last breath left, but even if the world is in chaos, with the Xiliang Army in hand, the advance can win the world, and the retreat can be left and right...... However, Wei Changying knew that things were not so simple, the short-term smoothness in front of him was just a façade, not to mention it, just said that Shen Zangfeng was now unanimously recognized by his brothers and accepted the knighthood, but he was not called the lord, this is a problem......

Although it is said that he is going back to Xiliang to open the ancestral hall when he officially becomes the lord, the timing and the situation are not suitable for doing so at this moment. However, there is a hidden worry in front of him - that is, the Shen family's lord Jin Yin is missing!

The golden seal of the valve owner represents the identity of the valve owner, and it has been in charge of Shen Xuan before, and of course Shen Xuan will not bring it when he breaks through. But Shen Xuan's bones are gone, and when Shen Zangfeng and the others bury him, they can only set up a tomb, let alone the whereabouts of a small golden seal?

Of course, if Shen Xuanren is here, this golden seal will be gone, and it will be a big deal to recast one. The problem is that both Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou have died. The oldest in this sect is Shen Yushi, when Shen Xuan was still alive and trapped in the imperial capital earlier, the Shen clan people on the Xiliang side were restless, and it is conceivable that once they knew that the Golden Seal of the valve master was lost, they would inevitably make a big fuss.

Even if Shen Zangfeng killed a group of the most troublesome clansmen when he returned to Xiliang to rescue the troops, it was impossible for him to kill all the clansmen......

Shen Zangfeng couldn't pull away and go back to Xiliang for the time being, and it should be no problem to hide this matter for a while.

At present, the most headache for Shen Zangfeng is the baggage of the Xiliang Army, 300,000 soldiers and horses, people eat horses and chew horses, and the daily consumption is extremely amazing.

Originally, the baggage brought by the Xiliang army when it set off was not enough, and the emperor was broken because the grain and grass were burned in fear, and tens of millions of stone grains and grass in Yanzhou, the largest storage and transshipment place in the north of the Great Wei, were also burned by Shen Zangfeng and Su Xiuming...... If it weren't for the previous capture of some of the baggage that fell when the Rong people fled, the Xiliang army would have starved.

However, the limited food and grass left by the Rong people is only a temporary relief......

Wei Changying was thinking about what her husband was going to worry about at the moment, and she couldn't help but feel that if she used Shenbo and Shenxun to discuss with her husband at this moment, I was afraid that Shen Zangfeng would be exhausted.

But when she thought about it, she thought, "Yes, how could I think that I can't intervene in this matter and shouldn't care about it?" At the beginning, in order not to be an enemy, the husband burned the grain and grass in Yanzhou for many years, so that now the army has nowhere to eat in the north. But in the north there is no enough food and grass to supply the army, but not in the south! In particular, Fengzhou and Jiangnan are all in Shangzhou, with fertile land and rich production. Even in the past two years, there have been civil uprisings, but what are the means of grandfather and maternal grandfather? These two places are so much better than the rest of the country! ”

The chief of the guard snapped the account book and ordered: "Prepare the car, call Guang'er to come over, I will go into the city to find my husband and discuss matters!" ”
