Chu Dian's failure completely aborted the plan of the Eastern Mansion to march into Changsha, although the officials at all levels in the Western Mansion carried out a bombardment impeachment of Xuansong's self-assertion, but this did not affect Xuansong's promotion, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office took the initiative to report, and Meng Yan directly approved Xuansong's promotion to the rank of Liling general, awarded Youcheng Bo, and led 50,000 troops to garrison Liling, this appointment is equivalent to directly indicating the control of the Western Mansion over the Xingtan part.

"Chu Dian dragged a serious injury all the way south to Hengyang and couldn't defend it, Xuansong had no chance, Tangyuan was strong, Jin Shuai hit Yuanzhou three times, and was forced back by him three times, it's not easy to deal with!" Gu Qingfeng wore a light veil and said comfortably with his jade feet.

Meng Yan grabbed her Qianqian and rubbed her feet, and said with a confused look: "Goblin, why are there so many tubes in the long night?" ”

Gu Qingfeng pulled out his little feet, leaned on Meng Yan's chest and said, "Qilang, you always have to appease and appease Jin Shuai, the big marshal of Xifu is afraid that he can't hold his face." ”

"Changsha has decided that he should also return to Chengdu, and Yu Laohu can't be trapped in western Sichuan, I plan to let Yu Laohu come over to preside over Changsha's affairs, what do you think?" Meng Yan's expression was serious, but the kung fu in his hands was not at all restless, and he didn't know when his big hand had already covered Gu Qingfeng's plump thighs.

Gu Qingfeng panted and catered to Meng Yan and said, "Don't you plan to go back to Chengdu?" After coming out for so long, you are not afraid of any changes? ”

"There is news from the Baiyi Temple that there is something unusual in Chengdu, and it has been suppressed by Zhuo Gong, wait a minute, I'll see if my senior brother is really entangled with Sanniang." Meng Yan slowly peeled Gu Qingfeng almost away.

Where can Gu Qingfeng stand it, as soon as he learns from his family, the room suddenly becomes dark, and then Gu Qingfeng's coquettish voice came.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, not only is it a good time for the prince and princess, but also the time when the Ming Jian Division is most active, since parting with the quartz, Su Qing has disappeared, even Mo Geng and Ye Nan don't know where she is.

"Madam, the brother in Changsha has news that the prince will leave Changsha in the near future, I don't know the purpose, are we going back?" A maid's voice asked.

"The last time Murong Changfeng of Luantai appeared was in Chaling, we chased him and disappeared again, it's a pity for us to go back now." Su Qing didn't show his face in the dark night, only a faint voice filled the entire room.

"Could it be that he has already left Chaling and sneaked into Changsha?" The maid guessed.

"No, the Baiyi Temple has been hiding beside the prince, Murong Changfeng has not dared to challenge the prince, he must still be in Chaling, let Fang Cheng come to see me tomorrow morning, we must let Luantai suffer some hardships." Su Qing's tone became more and more aggressive.

The maid retreated gently, a burst of squirming footsteps sounded, Su Qing appeared in the moonlight in the costume of a noble lady with a business connection, she didn't tell her subordinates everything, Murong Changfeng left a document for herself, a handwritten letter from Zhong Roulan, asking her to meet at the mausoleum of the Empress Zhaoyang, she was hesitating, and she was struggling.

Xuanwu Hall Supervisor Fang Cheng stood in front of Su Qing with a sweat, worried, frightened, and even timid, Su Qing summoned in the field There are only two possibilities, making a mistake or making a major decision, looking at Su Qing's gloomy face, the possibility of making a mistake is relatively high.

"Lord Fang, do you know why I summoned you here?"

"The subordinates don't know, please let the commander make it clear!" It's all here, it's up to fate whether you live or die.

"Dongfu has infiltrated here, I know it's not your fault, it's not easy to track Murong Changfeng's whereabouts just after taking over here." Although Su Qing's tone was cold, he didn't mean to blame him.

Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Commander, Luantai has been arrested by us a lot of people these days, but they are all smoke released by Murong Changfeng, none of them are useful, we locked up a person last night, according to my judgment, he may be a key person, but now is not the best time to start." ”

"Don't touch him, but he continues to maintain contact with Luantai, this time I summoned you to come over because of an important task entrusted to you, these days in Xingtan all over the Mingjian Division will gather in Chaling, you preside over the pursuit for me, if there is anything wrong, send a letter to the prince, please ask the princess to preside over the Mingjian Division, I have something important to do." After a night of thinking and hesitation, Su Qing finally decided to meet Zhong Roulan.

Fang Cheng was a little puzzled, and even more curious, Su Qing would never hand over the command of the Mingjian Division to others, the princess had not asked about the Mingjian Division for a long time, could it be that the situation of the commander would be dangerous this time?

"My lord, do you want to send elites to accompany you?"

Su Qing shook his head helplessly, and said, "No, remember, you don't have to be soft on dealing with the people in Luantai, the killing order is your highest order this time." ”

Fang Cheng was even more surprised in his heart, the "Killing Order" was the highest and most murderous order of the Mingjian Division, since the establishment of the Mingjian Division, the "Killing Order" had never been exercised, Su Qing's matter must be related to Luantai or even Dongfu, thinking of Su Qing's background, it seems that this time it is extremely dangerous.

Fang Cheng didn't say anything anymore, and hurriedly went down to arrange after receiving the order, the arrival of the people from all walks of life will inevitably cause a local uproar, Chaling belongs to Liling, but Chaling is the junction of the two provinces, and spies from all walks of life are gathered here at this time, and the people of the two yas in the north have also appeared in Chaling City these days, and even the Hanjiang Temple in the north has appeared, Fang Cheng made up his mind to take them to the pot by the way.

Ming Jiansi's movements were not deliberately concealed, Meng Yan had already received a report from the White Clothes Temple, at this moment he tapped the table with his index finger, and saw Gu Qingfeng, who was focusing on embroidery, and said, "Girl, what do you say Su Qing wants to do?" ”

"Qilang, I only ask you, do you believe Su Qing or not?" Gu Qingfeng didn't stop what he was doing, and asked lightly.

"Believe, but I really don't understand her operation, are you ready to take over the Ming Jian Division?"

Gu Qingfeng shook his head lightly and said, "There is only one commander in the Ming Jian Division, that is, Su Qing, this time she should have encountered a very difficult problem, maybe this embarrassment comes from the princess." ”

"Does Sanniang still have the intention of subduing Su Qing? Or do you want to drive a wedge between us? Meng Yan couldn't guess for a while.

"Don't worry so much, you have already used the White Clothes Temple, presumably there will be news in the next few days, instead of being so entangled, it is better to think about the matter of Xiangyang, the situation in Xiangyang City is generally clear, Cao Li and Tu Shan Jinyuan are under house arrest, and the real one in charge is that Mrs. Tu Shan, Zhong Rouxuan!"

"None of the three daughters of the Zhong family are easy to mess with, why didn't they find out that Zhong Rouxuan had the talent to lead the army." Meng Yan said self-deprecatingly.

Gu Qingfeng put down his work and poured a glass of water for Meng Yan, and said: "The alliance between Jinling and Luo Chen has collapsed, your sworn brother is not idle, Shenzhou has been taken by him, and now Quan Zheng has a headache, it is said that Feng Youzhen has been sent to guard Runan, and now Luo Chen will pinch his nose and admit even if he knows about Xiangyang." ”

Meng Yan took a sip of tea and said: "You are right, this is an opportunity, Qingshuai's body is almost recovering, we lost the opportunity before, and we can't grasp it this time, I'm afraid our plan to go north will be ruined." ”

"The armies of the two marshal's mansions are here, plus the support of Lu Ping, it's almost, it's enough to give Zhong Rouxuan face, you don't have to think about winning a battle, besieging the city on three sides is the best choice, right?"

"Sometimes I really want to open your little head and take a look, it's a pity that you don't lead an army." Meng Yan exclaimed.

"You are my husband, and the entire Xifu must call me a master mother, and it is stupid to lead an army, isn't it?" Gu Qingfeng smiled slyly.

"It's right to besiege the city on three sides, you can't give Quartz such an easy job, let him send some people to harass Da Xi Qianbi in Nanyang, and cut off Xiangyang's reinforcements."

After the affairs of Xiangyang were properly arranged, Meng Yan immediately asked Zheng Xi and Huo Youjian to prepare to return to Chengdu.

Su Qing rode alone to the mausoleum of the Empress Zhaoyang, which is not far from the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan, and those scholars hated the Empress of Zhaoyang back then, but fortunately, the prime minister Di Ming, who overthrew her, left a trace of residual thoughts, and buried her near the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan, which can be regarded as a moment of friendship between monarchs and ministers.

Looking at the barren mausoleum, Su Qing felt a trace of sadness in her heart, the Empress Zhaoyang is the pride of women, but it is also the pain of women, originally the status of women is not low, but after the incident of Empress Zhaoyang, women's status has declined rapidly, and they can only exist as a vassal of men.

"What are you feeling?" Zhong Roulan's voice sounded from behind Su Qing.

Su Qing turned around vigilantly and saw Zhong Roulan, who she hadn't seen for many years, and an indescribable feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and she was about to call Miss, but she controlled her emotions with reason and said respectfully: "Xifu Su Qing has seen the princess, the princess Wan'an." ”

Zhong Roulan was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure and said, "Chenghou is polite." ”

"The princess summoned her ministers, but she has something to discuss?"

"Crisp pear, does it have to be like this?" Zhong Roulan's attitude was very strange, if outsiders heard it, they might think that Zhong Roulan remembered her love for her master and servant very well, but Su Qing could tell that this kind of overture was not a good sign.

"Your Highness, although the two governments are not incompatible, but they are also constantly fighting, at this time to summon the ministers, the ministers dare not be cautious." Su Qing suppressed the master-servant affection in his heart and said calmly.

"Crisp pear, I asked you to come here today, I guess what I mean, I only ask you, can you still come back to help me, help me in the bright light, instead of hiding in the shadows all the time." Zhong Roulan's face changed abruptly, and she didn't say anything more, and directly explained her intentions.

"Your Royal Highness knows that my husband is the marshal of Xifu, and his subordinates are the marquis of Xifu, how to talk about the gloom, when it comes to gloom, the matter of the first princess seems to be even darker."

At the mention of Cangshu Haoyue, Zhong Roulan's heart trembled, she understood that this was a topic that she couldn't get around, "I am indeed at fault about Haoyue, but you and I both know the facts, it is a conspiracy of the people of the East China Sea, even if your brother doesn't understand, you should understand." ”

"Your Highness, there are some things that make no sense to chase deeply, I know what you think, I understood some when I was in Dongyang, and today I confirmed your thoughts by asking me to be at the mausoleum of the Empress Zhaoyang, Your Majesty admires, but I don't agree." Su Qing said what he thought without concealment.

"Do you think women don't deserve it?" Zhong Roulan's eyes immediately sharpened.

"Of course women are worthy, but it's not your approach, unifying the Central Plains is not something that can be created by conspiracy, putting the people first and having a sense of reverence for all the people is the most important thing, isn't it? His Highness's approach did not disagree. Su Qing responded directly.

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense, and there began to be abnormal movements around him, it seemed that Zhong Roulan must leave Su Qing today, and Su Qing was also ready.

"Miss, do you think Su Qing will give in?"

"Come back with me, you'll change your mind." Zhong Roulan is no longer verbose, and if it doesn't make sense, she will take it away first.
