Chapter 68: Chaos Rises
The county lord of Yinsheng was really anxious, if she hadn't been able to enter the dense forest, she would have almost rushed into the Luo Jia Department to find He Lingjiang.
When she heard a report from someone in the house that He Lingjiang had returned, she immediately withdrew from the servants around her and rushed up from the side door to greet her.
was so anxious, so that she could raise her hand to untie the soul binding technique on her body, and return the Gu worm silver snake to her.
Daddy had already set off for Yaozhou yesterday, and she didn't want to keep up with it quickly, and then the status of the City Lord's Mansion would be in jeopardy.
He Lingjiang pulled away the hand that was tugging at her sleeve: "The matter of Gu worms, I'll talk about it later." ”
"I'll go change my clothes first, the county lord won't even wait for a while, right?"
Lord Silverborn let go of his hand.
She saw that this person came back this time, still holding a big umbrella, and the matter of coming to the Holy Fruit was not going well, if she used this as an excuse not to return the Gu worm and silver snake, she would not be able to have a child.
However, since the man did not refuse immediately, there was room for manoeuvre
He Lingjiang crossed her and walked towards the courtyard where He Shiren temporarily lived, and the county lord of Yinsheng hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and followed.
When the poet in the courtyard saw He Lingjiang, his eyes immediately lit up: "You're back!" ”
He Lingjiang couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the fourth uncle is thinking about me like this?" ”
Except for the Yinsheng County Lord who fell behind her, all the courtyards here are from the He Mansion, so what He Lingjiang said was Zhou.
He Shiren had no smile on his face, he glanced at the Yinsheng County Lord who came in behind He Lingjiang, and dragged He Lingjiang into the room: "You come with me, I have something to say to you." ”
He Lingjiang rarely saw him with such a serious appearance, and he was puzzled.
She turned around and gave Qingzhu a color, and followed He Shishi into the house.
The Lord of Yinsheng followed step by step, but was stopped by Qingzhu reaching out.
Seeing the expressionless appearance of the servant girl, she still stopped, turned around and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, waiting for the two of them to finish speaking.
When He Shishi entered the room, he immediately turned around and closed the door, with a little nervousness on his face.
Looking at his appearance, He Lingjiang couldn't help frowning: "Fourth uncle, when do you want to say it?" ”
He Shishi's face was grim, he lowered his voice and leaned in front of her, spit out an astonishing news: "Yaozhou is in chaos!" ”
"What?" He Lingjiang suspected that he had not heard clearly.
"Nanzhao has rebelled, and now Yaocheng County has been attacked." He repeated.
He ordered Jiang Dengshi to gasp.
Although Yaozhou is located in a remote area, it has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and its strategic position is very dangerous.
At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion was set up, and the main purpose was to stabilize the southwest and Suihuai Six Edicts.
Later, with the support of the Yaozhou Governor's Office, Mengshe Zhao sat down, defeated the other five edicts, unified the Yunnan-Er'er region, and suggested the Southern Zhao Kingdom.
It can be said that the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion is an important driving force for the unification of the six edicts, so there has always been the saying that "the six edicts are divided".
Yaozhou has an excellent geographical location, on one side is the Great Zhou Shu land, on the other side is the Nanzhao Yunnan Er, it can be said that it is the throat of entering and exiting Shu and connecting Yunnan Er, so it is also known as the "gateway of the three rivers".
In addition, Yaozhou is also known as the "key to the south".
This is because if you want to control and stabilize the Nanzhong region, the gains and losses of the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion can be said to be related to the overall situation. Whoever can control Yaozhou will have the key to open Nanzhong.
Since the establishment of the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion by the Great Zhou, this key has been held in the hands of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, the gateway to the southwest can be opened, and the power of the Central Plains Dynasty can pass through the gateway of Yaozhou, through Shudi, to the Dianchi and Erhai regions, and finally promote the unification of the six edicts, and also lay a solid foundation for the consolidation of the southwestern frontier forces of the Great Zhou.
At the beginning, He Lingjiang and his entourage entered Nanzhao from Yaozhou.
At that time, there was no sign of war in Yaozhou, and merchants from Shu and Yunnan'er regions passed through here, and trade was also normal.
When passing through the Aning Ministry, although there have been recent incidents of plundering the merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the land of Nanzhao, there has been no conflict in the border land adjacent to Yaozhou.
Even when I arrived in Yinsheng City before, I had never heard of a war on the border between the two countries.
Why, she has only been in the Rajabu for more than ten days, and so much has changed outside?
Yaocheng County is the attached Guo County of the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion, which is about more than 100 miles away from the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion.
Once Yaocheng County is taken, the commander of the Nanzhao army can gather troops under the city of Yaozhou.
When she was in Shaoyang, she heard from Cui Shu that the terrain in the southwest was unstable.
But at that time, between the words, it was just a small friction between the southernmost point of Nanzhao and the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.
Even when there was a war, everyone thought that the conflict would break out at the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, after all, in addition to being adjacent to Nanzhao and guarding the southwest, the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate was more of a barbarian in charge of the southern region.
Now, why did he suddenly turn around and go to Yaozhou, which is about a thousand miles away?
It is important to know that Annan is located in the southernmost part of Nanzhao, but Yaozhou is at the northern end of Nanzhao, which is adjacent to the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He Ling Jiang was stunned and looked at He Shiren: "Where did the fourth uncle get this news?" ”
When she had just returned to Yinsheng City from Luojiabu, the people she met on the road were all peaceful, and there was no appearance that a great war was about to start, and no one had heard about it along the way.
"I overheard it from Lord Yinsheng." He Shiren said.
Since congratulating Jiang Jiang from the City Lord's Mansion, he hid in the courtyard alone and had nothing to do, and often took advantage of the night to avoid everyone in the City Lord's Mansion to wander around.
Compared with the martial arts, he has learned the ability to escape well, and he also has the token given by the Lord of Yinsheng County, but he has no scruples when he walks around.
The people in the land of Nanzhao may be good at playing Gu, but this light skill is still a lot worse than him.
Except for the heavily guarded place where the city lord lived, he didn't dare to approach rashly.
In other places, he was almost turned around, and no guards even found him.
Two days ago, He Shiren happened to be lying on the roof of the young city lord Takuya listening to the corner of the wall, and soon after, he saw that the county lord of Yinsheng also came over.
"Tuoye, Daddy's trip should be ordered by the king to go to Yaozhou. Are you going to go along? ”
The young city lord Tuo also shook his head: "Daddy's trip is to lead the army to fight, and he has to go." But the affairs of Yinsheng City, big and small, must not be left unattended. ”
"Daddy said that when he went to Yaozhou this time, he left me to guard Yinsheng to avoid accidents."
This is Daddy's trust in him.
Takuya glanced at the gloomy Lord of Yinsheng: "Didn't Daddy let you go with you?" Why are you like this? ”
In the past few years, the Lord of Yinsheng County has relied on the skill of controlling the Gu snake with one hand, helping Daddy easily suppress those small tribes who are not satisfied with Yinsheng City.
Because of her many contributions, Daddy treated her differently, and even asked for the title of Yinsheng County Lord for her.
This title was not obtained even by his sister, but she was planted by her, a prodigal wild.
Takuya hid the disdain in her eyes, and she was worthy of being the same as her low-born grandmother.
