Chapter 118: I Want to Leave a Mess Now
None of the useful words fart.
Baili Jiu snorted coldly, and threw the holy decree aside, full of sour taste, as if he had knocked over a jar of old vinegar.
Then he felt that something was wrong, Noya didn't go to accompany him to the mountains and rivers, Chu Qingchen would not be so idle, so he would repeat this messy gossip, right? Is there an ulterior motive? Picked it up and looked at it over and over again, both horizontally and vertically studied, and there was no clue, so he pouted and threw it to Noya.
"If it's really just a love letter, you can treasure it."
Noah took it in his hand, but he couldn't see his eyebrows upside down, and even the love words that quoted the scriptures felt obscure, and he casually put them in his arms.
"I thought it would be a will to reinstate your officials, and I couldn't erase the feelings, so I secretly stuffed it to me. Or the worst of all, you can transfer troops, is it possible for you and me to single-handedly deal with the other party's tens of thousands of troops? ”
Baili Jiu nodded meaningfully and said: "This is not certain, he has been eyeing him for so long, once Lao Tzu has an accident, he just happens to occupy Lao Tzu's widow." ”
"Then why do you want me to accompany you to death? Do you want me to send you off on your last journey west? Noah said angrily.
Baili Jiu suddenly realized: "No wonder the two of them conspired behind my back, what words did Chu Qingchen write in the palm of your hand?" ”
Noya glanced at him, his expression froze, and he said seriously: "It's a 'hidden' word." The 'hidden' of 'retreat'. ”
"Hidden words? What does this mean, could it be that he is telling us to go into seclusion for a while, waiting for it to become unsuccessful? "Baili Jiubai is incomprehensible.
"Think beautifully. Now that the court is in turmoil, it is the time to employ people, how can he let us go into hiding for the time being? If this is the intention, there is no need to arrange such a huge pomp. Noah speculated to herself.
Bailijiu nodded "um": "You and him have a heart, and what you say naturally makes sense." So guess what this riddle means? Could it be that the elopement between the two of you is not a code? Did he ever tell you where to go and where to go into hiding? ”
Noah ignored his jealous words, shook his head, filtered the words the two had said in his heart again, and said to himself: "Hidden? Big Hide? Xiao Yin? Could that be what it means? ”
"What do you mean?" Bailijiu couldn't wait to ask.
"I once told him, 'The small is hidden in the mountains, and the big is hidden in the city,' is he telling me something?"
"Big? Small? I understand. Baili Jiu suddenly realized, and lowered his voice and said: "He is hinting at where the anti-thieves and soldiers are going!" ”
"How?" Noah suddenly came to his senses.
"Twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, the momentum is huge, not like the Killer Pavilion, which can be hidden in the valley and inaccessible. He meant to say. Hidden in the city, 30,000 soldiers and horses are very likely to be hidden in the market! Baili Jiu frowned and analyzed.
"Impossible, right? How can these soldiers and horses be hidden in the market? So how do you usually practice? And how to contact, how to replenish the supply? ”
The corners of Baili Jiu's lips hooked slightly: "Naturally, under the banner of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, they practiced openly." ”
Noah was taken aback by his conjecture and asked suspiciously, "You mean to say that they are hidden in the barracks?" ”
Baili Jiu nodded categorically: "In the barracks, the actual number of soldiers is mostly falsely reported, for example, 30,000 soldiers and horses are reported, but in fact there are only more than 20,000, and the general army is used to embezzle the military rations and expenses allocated by the imperial court, which is a common means. In the same way, the other party can also recruit more and conceal the military situation. ”
"How is that possible? Simply raising soldiers cannot be self-sufficient, but it is a lot of money. ”
"The family of the three princesses is the richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, rich and rivals the country, and Huguang is even richer, with the reputation of 'Huguang harvest, the world's foot'. In addition, the three princes don't know how many profit-making organizations like the Killer Pavilion have under their names, and raising troops is not a problem. Didn't we wonder why Huang Dexing had to transport grain and rice south of Handan every year? ”
Noya couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Doesn't the imperial court never check?" This closes the ears and eyes. ”
"The local garrison is directly under the command of the Ministry of War, and according to the custom, the army must conduct a self-inspection every month, and the imperial court will also send people down to verify the change of seasons every year, but the three princes have hands and eyes to the sky, and the people below are protected by officials and officials, just a formality." Bailijiu analyzed: "Besides, you can be safe and sound in normal times, if the court inquires, you will get the news in advance, the lake is wide and there are many lofty mountains, and the extra soldiers and horses are hidden nearby, and you can easily get through the trick." ”
"This is the reason why the third prince chose Huguang to join the army? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what can he do? ”
"Not only that, once the war starts, the rebel army can control the entire Huguang region with lightning speed. And the garrison of Henan County is scattered, the strength and defense are weak, and there is an elusive killer pavilion to do internal response, directly take Handan, and after obtaining sophisticated weapons, you can go all the way to the capital like a bamboo! ”
Noya didn't understand military affairs, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "What a wonderful calculation!" The three princes really took great pains to take the throne. And the entire Huguang Mansion can have such a power to cover the sky with one hand, and it can be deceived and concealed, but not the governor of Huguang! ”
"To the south, across Huguang, Guizhou and Yunnan are all towns with heavy troops. If the Huguang rebel army intends to move north, then the enemy will be attacked on their backs, and Zhenyuan will be their threat. Bailijiu continued to analyze.
"That's why they will do everything possible to marry with Zhen Yuanhou and pull Zhen Yuanhou into the water. If you can't join the same stream, you just take Anping as a hostage! ”
"And that's not the worst." Bailijiu said helplessly, and stopped talking: "I hope it's just that I'm too worried." ”
"Huh?" Noah instantly felt the illusion that Tarzan was overpowering.
"Do you remember, I once told you that the emperor intended to pass on the news to Chu Qingchen, and Zhen Yuanhou had written three times to protest?"
Noya nodded, and immediately understood the meaning of Baili Jiu: "You mean, now the attitude of Zhenyuan is still unclear, and it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, right?" ”
"The two families suddenly proposed a marriage at this time, and the situation was complicated, and the imperial court naturally did not dare to send troops to quell the chaos."
Noya's heart also sank, originally the anti-army was not to worry, if Zhenyuan waited for the worse and stabbed him coldly, it would indeed be troublesome.
Baili Jiu sighed and said with a sad face: "It's just that this trip is definitely not a good errand, who would have thought that it would be the Longtan Tiger's Den?" You and I are alone, aren't we in a hurry to send them to death? ”
"Chu Qingchen should have other arrangements, right?" General Noah was suspicious: "Otherwise, with you and me, we will not be able to withstand the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the other party." Life and death are small, won't it delay the military situation? ”
Bailijiu glanced at her disdainfully: "You fell for his beautiful man trick again, right?" Do you really think he is a good person who values love and righteousness? Anping is his own cousin, isn't he the same as marrying a thief's son as a widow? ”
A retort Denoya was speechless. Marriage is a big event, for a girl, it is a lifetime of happiness, and it may be this once in a lifetime. Whether it is whether the Marquis of Zhenyuan really colluded with the governor of Huguang, or the Marquis of Zhenyuan was kept in the dark and did not know it, Anping is always a child who does not know the world, and in the end, she is the only one who may suffer.
Noya didn't like Anping, and even hated her unscrupulous means, but this incident made her feel a little sorry in her heart, and it also let her know what it means to be ruthless.
Baili Jiu and the things that she can guess, he Chu Qingchen is in a high hall, looking at the world, the seven tricks are exquisite, and he will definitely be able to take it into account. He did not stop this family affair, but also gave the marriage in his own hand, and used this marriage as an excuse to give Baili Jiu an excuse to go south. If she were Noah, she couldn't do it.
And now, Chu Qingchen, who was still affectionate to him, pushed himself into the Longtan tiger's den with his own hands, and also cut off the claws that he relied on to survive and fight.
There is no third person in the world who is more suitable to send to death than her and Baili Jiu. The reason, that night on the painting boat, the emperor had already made it clear.
And they who have lost all their support, their bare hands, and they have had grievances with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, will not make the governor of Huguang vigilant, I am afraid that they will already disdain it in their hearts.
Maybe, really like Bailijiu said, in Chu Qingchen's heart, no matter what, it is far less important than his world.
"Madam, when the carriage passes through Handan City, you can get off." After some careful consideration, Baili Jiu spoke.
"No way, don't even think about it."
"I don't feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for the child."
"Now that you can see my status, in your heart, your son is still important, right?" Noah is vexatious.
"You're only going to get in trouble."
"Yes, when I went to see your childhood sweetheart's little lover, I naturally thought I was an eyesore. Baili Jiu, do you want to resurrect? I will never give you this chance, old lady! ”
Baili Jiu sighed helplessly and scolded: "Chu Qingchen is really not a thing. ”
Noah also nodded: "Yes, it's not a good thing!" ”
"When we come back, we will never serve him again, and raise the baby with peace of mind."
"I want to make a mess right now."
"I can't pick it up now, it's already on the slope."
The two fell silent for a while, neither of them speaking.
They said yes, scolding is scolding, but they all know that under the nest, there are eggs, and now is the critical time, if the two of them ignore it again, once the three princes succeed, the general's mansion will inevitably be implicated.
And the imperial court can't just send troops out of the blue. First, there is no real evidence, all of this is just the guess of the two, and the teacher is unknown; Second, once the three princes jumped over the wall in a hurry, and they couldn't figure out what the town was thinking, a confrontation between the north and the south would be formed, and it would be difficult to clean up; Third, the opposing party's anti-army and the imperial court soldiers and horses are mixed, and there has been no leakage of news for many years, all the generals in the army, I am afraid that they are all the people of the three princes, then, together with the war, the original tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will inevitably bear the brunt and the whole army will be wiped out.
And what Nuoya and Bailijiu need to do is to test the mind of Zhen Yuan, find out the establishment of the imperial court and the anti-thief soldiers, retry the situation, and act expediently.
