Chapter 333: The Woman in Gray
On the table in the study was a plate of fruit pastries.
Sitting around, Xie Yunyan and Qi Cheng'an both locked their eyes on Shen Yu's body.
Shen Yu opened his mouth slowly, his face slightly solemn.
"Tuoba Chen took over the position of the old Tuoba City Lord, and because of his courage in killing, he was favored by the King of Beiliang and personally appointed as the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army in the crusade against the Qi State."
Tuoba Yu's death is actually insignificant to Bei Liang.
It's just a *** who attacked the Qi country.
In addition, Tuoba Chen is the son of Tuoba Yu, no matter whether his intention of revenge is true or not, he is famous for leading the Vermilion Bird Army.
It is precisely because of this that the King of Beiliang values this point that he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
"I underestimated Tuoba Chen before, he has been oppressed by his stepmother and sister, covering up his true temperament, he frequently tested the defense of Jinjing Town, if it weren't for His Majesty to send troops to support, I'm afraid that Jinjing Town would have changed hands long ago."
However, the peace in front of Jinjing Town is only temporary.
It is one of the few breakthroughs between Beiliang and Qi, but it is not the only border of Qi.
Further south, there is the Khitan on the brink of war.
It was impossible for the Emperor to send much support to Jinjingzhen.
This made Tuoba Chen even more unscrupulous.
Xie Yunyan furrowed his brows, "I haven't heard His Majesty's will yet-"
"I entered the palace today to explain this matter to Your Majesty, and I believe that it will not be long before Your Majesty will discuss it with Lord Xie in detail."
Qi Chengan was curious: "How can a little Bei Liang dare to raid the Qi State repeatedly?" Could it be that the people guarding the border in Qi Country are all soft-footed shrimp? β
"Lord Qi doesn't know." Shen Yu's expectation since childhood was to be an official who can share the worries and solve problems of the people.
Now that I can discuss national affairs with the two royal celebrities of the current dynasty, I am inexplicably excited.
"The terrain of Jinjing Town is an easy to defend and difficult to attack position in Beiliang."
"There is only one mountain range around Beiliangling City, which is backed by a huge grassland, and it is easy for officers and soldiers to rescue."
This is not the case in Jinjingzhen. If Qi wants to support Jinjing, he has to go over mountains and mountains, and he has to find waterways. After the land soldiers rushed by water, perhaps seventy percent of them would be defenseless when they arrived. β
"If the sailors support, the sailors who are good at fighting on the water may not be the opponents of the brave and good Beiliang people."
Shen Yuzai's careful analysis made Qi Chengan speechless.
After being silent for a long time, Shen Yu thought of something again, and continued: "There is that fortress in Gucheng County, once the troops are withdrawn, I believe that the people of Beiliang will also attack. So, now should be a dilemma. β
"No, it won't." Xie Yunyan shook his head and said, "General Lin's Lin family army is still near Kyoto at this time, and I believe that Your Majesty should send General Lin to Jinjing soon." β
"As for Tanijo-gunβ"
Xie Yunyan's eyes froze.
Based on his current understanding of the emperor, the emperor is also an emperor who will not be beaten and will remain silent.
Coupled with the matter of the six princesses, the emperor was harboring a cloud of anger in his heart, but Bei Liang rushed out to give people their heads.
I believe that the emperor must have moved his mind to exterminate Gucheng County.
It's just the choice of the army, and it is unknown which side the emperor will choose.
Qi Cheng'an had a headache, took a bite of dim sum, and suddenly looked at Shen Yu with a wicked smile, "Shen Dudu, don't you know, before you entered Kyoto, there was a bloody storm in Kyoto because of youββ"
Qi Cheng'an's mouth moved more smoothly than that of Mr. Storyteller.
It didn't take a stick of incense to explain the affairs of the six princesses clearly.
Shen Yu frowned, "There is still such a thing?" β
"It doesn't matter anymore, Your Majesty is not the kind of person with a small belly. Otherwise, Shen Dudu's life would not have been spared. Xie Yunyan said soothingly.
"But there is one thing that still bothers Shen Dudu."
Shen Yuru was struck by lightning.
The matter of the sixth princess gave him a wake-up call.
He has now become a fourth-rank Kyoto official, and it may be inevitable that such a thing will happen in the future, and he actually has a trace of nervousness from the bottom of his heart.
I didn't even bother to listen to Xie Yunyan's words.
Xie Yunyan glared at Qi Chengan angrily, and said to Shen Yu: "If Governor Shen doesn't mind, how about calling Governor Shen Brother like Brother Qi in the future?" β
Shen Yu's consciousness was pulled back by Xie Yunyan's words, and he looked at Xie Yunyan in surprise and said, "This, it's really climbing down." Then Brother Xie has something to say, but it's okay to say. β
Qi Chengan also smiled and blended in, "Brother Shen doesn't have to see outside, he will be colleagues in the future, and he will move around often." β
Xie Yunyan was too lazy to deal with Qi Cheng'an, he lowered his voice with a serious expression: "Brother Shen was half a Jianghu person before, Brother Qi and I want to find a missing dart team, I don't know if Brother Shen has a way?" β
When Qi Chengan heard this, his eyebrows raised, and he secretly gave Xie Yunyan a thumbs up.
Make the best use of things, that's roughly the reason here!
β¦β¦
Ning Shu and Mrs. Qi went to the street to buy the materials needed for cured meat, and along the way, Mrs. Qi chattered about the case of Father-in-law Su, and from time to time patted her chest and boasted:
"I said at the time that it must be someone in the palace, and now I was really right."
Ning Shu smiled silently.
Although Mrs. Qi's analysis is 108,000 miles away from the truth, without Mrs. Qi's words, things may still be a fog, which Ning Shu still agrees with.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop in the downtown area east of the city.
Ning Shu got out of the car first, and helped Mrs. Qi get out of the car with Bai Zhi, one left and one right.
"No, no, I'm flexible."
Mrs. Qi had a big belly, looking at the condiment shop not far away, and her saliva was about to flow down.
When she came in person, she naturally had to buy enough portions.
Listening to Ning Shu's meaning, she may not be able to go out for a long time in the future, of course, she must prepare enough to eat the cured meat before she gives birth.
Several people went back and forth to buy a lot, and Xuan Feng and Yuan Wu also loaded the goods into the carriage again and again.
Ning Shu held a pu fan in her hand and shook it slightly, and when she saw that the last package of raw meat was about to be moved to the car by Xuan Feng, the corner of her eyes suddenly flashed, and she felt that a cold gaze had been staring at her.
She suddenly raised her head and looked around, only to see that in the box on the edge of the third floor of the Star Picking Tower, a woman dressed in gray was looking at her with an indifferent expression.
Seeing Ning Shu looking at herself, she didn't mean to retract her gaze at all.
Ning Shu was standing in place, and when she was hesitating whether to go to the Star Tower, the Vientiane Gu in her body suddenly became emotionally unstable and irritable.
This is a phenomenon that has never been seen before.
Ning Shu patted her chest with one hand, trying her best to suppress the Vientiane Gu that was jumping back and forth in her body, and her intuition told her that this move must be related to the woman in gray.
She was just about to take a step towards the Star Picking Tower, but Mrs. Qi on the side slapped the pu fan in her hand with a glint in her eyes, interrupting her steps.
"You've got a pretty fan, and a small mirror?!"
Ning Shu handed out the fan and said quickly: "There are many more in my house, if my sister likes it, I will give my sister a hand when I return home." β
Then she looked back at the window again, but the woman in gray who had been sitting there was goneβ
