Xu Qinghe thought that now that the military salaries of Beibi Mountain had been burned out, the Great Zhou treasury would be in deficit in order to fill this vacancy, and it was a good opportunity to send troops to attack.

Thinking of this, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but be excited in his heart, thinking that such a good opportunity at the moment must not be wasted, and he had to repair the book and send it to Chu as soon as possible, so that Qi and Chu could send troops quickly.

Xu Qinghe took a few deep breaths in a row, and then he pressed down the excitement in his heart, so he took advantage of the fact that no one noticed at night, and quietly wrote a letter to explain the situation here, and the flying pigeon passed the book to Chu Lingshen.

As the saying goes, heaven is not as good as people. Xu Qinghe thought very well in his heart, but he didn't expect that Shen Huo would be interested in the night tonight and take a walk in the imperial garden with He Suoyi.

For the matter of military salaries, the two have been tired for a long time, and now that they have finally obtained a preliminary solution, how can they not be excited?

Not only that, tonight coincides with the fifteenth, and the moonlight is really beautiful. A round round moon hangs above the sky, a little delicate and bright.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, so would you like to go and see it with this palace?" Shen Huo pushed open the window and looked at the moonlight, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and his heart became interested, so he turned his head to look at He Suoyi and asked.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested, the concubine is willing to accompany him." Listening to what Shen Huo said, He Suoyi only smiled softly and replied to him.

So the two immediately left the East Palace, walked all the way to the Imperial Garden, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery while walking.

I saw that the sky was full of moon rings, dotted with stars, and the silver-white light was sprinkled down, reflecting the world.

The imperial garden, which is caressed by the moonlight, shows a bit of beauty that is different from the daytime. The flowers are all dressed in silver-white clothes, and each slowly sways with the breeze, competing for beauty.

Looking at such a scene, the two of them were more interested in their hearts, and then walked forward, the joy in their eyes was not hidden at all.

At this moment, Shen Huo frowned suddenly, and said to He Suoyi in a low voice: "Suyi, what do you think it is?" With that, Shen Huo stretched out his hand to give He Suoyi guidance.

Listening to what Shen Huo said, He Suoyi raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger, and his brows furrowed.

From this angle, I couldn't see it clearly, but I could only see something faintly, coming from the direction of the stargazing platform and flying straight in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

"Something seems to be coming from the direction of the observatory. Your Royal Highness the Prince, should we go and have a look? He Suoyi frowned lightly and looked at Shen Huo with an inquiring eye.

"Not necessarily." Shen Huo has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his eyes are much more sensitive than ordinary people, "That thing has been seen clearly in the palace, it is a carrier pigeon." ”

After saying that, Shen Huo leaned down, picked up a few stones from the ground, and played with them in his hands.

Just as Shen Huo was playing with the stones, the thing was getting closer. At this time, He Suoyi finally saw clearly, indeed, as Shen Huo said, it was a snow-white carrier pigeon, flying towards here.

The carrier pigeon flew all the way, and the distance between the two of them was already very close at this time, Shen Huo squinted his eyes slightly, aimed at the line of sight, and suddenly a stone flew over and shot down the carrier pigeon.

"Suddenly—" There was a cracking sound, which stood out in the silent night sky. Then the pigeon fell to the ground, and lay on the ground motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or unconscious.

Seeing the carrier pigeon landing, the two took a few steps forward and found the carrier pigeon in the cover of flowers and plants.

Looking at the little life in front of him that should not have appeared in the palace, and then thinking about the direction in which the carrier pigeon came, He Suoyi frowned slightly: "How did this carrier pigeon come from the stargazing platform?" ”

"Presumably Xu Qinghe wanted to send some news to the Chu State, but unfortunately he was discovered by the palace and you." Shen Huo smiled lightly, did not hesitate, and immediately stretched out his hand and touched the pigeon's leg.

When I touched it like this, I really touched a thin note. Shen Huo unfolded the creed with his own hands, looked at it carefully, and naturally learned the content of the letter.

"Sure enough. This letter was as expected by the palace, and it was the evidence that Xu Qinghe wanted to pass on to the state of Chu. Shen Huo laughed contemptuously, and said to He Suoyi: "After all, it is a little unsafe in this imperial garden, you and I will go back to the East Palace first, discuss it carefully and then make plans." ”

This proposal was reasonable, and he immediately nodded his head in agreement. So the two took the pigeon and the creed back to the East Palace, leaving no trace.

After returning to the East Palace, the two secretly discussed the matter in the main hall. After these days of observation, the two have concluded that Xu Qinghe is the fine work of the Chu State, and the creed harvested today only makes the two more certain.

Not only that, looking at what Xu Qinghe said in the letter, the two of them guessed in their hearts that the Chu State must have accumulated strength, otherwise Xu Qinghe would not let the Chu State send troops.

"The Great Zhou treasury is empty, and it is a good opportunity to send troops. May the two countries send troops as soon as possible and sweep the world. Shen Huo pinched the note and read it word by word, and his brows furrowed a little.

After finishing the reading, he looked at He Zhiyi and said, "Qi and Chu two countries? It seems that the news of the discord between Qi and Chu a few days ago was just a show, but in fact, it was a secret Chen Cang, and there was already a collusion. ”

"The concubine thinks the same way." He Suoyi nodded heavily, "Not only that, but now that Xu Qinghe dares to let the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu send troops, presumably in the days when Da Zhou has not paid attention to them, the two countries have already accumulated a lot of strength, which is enough to fight against Da Zhou." ”

"Exactly." The pimple between Shen Huo's eyebrows was almost unravelable, "Fortunately, you and I found out about this letter, otherwise things would be really unimaginable." ”

Shen Huo paused slightly, and then said, "Now that we know this news, what should we do?" After all, we can't just sit back and let things develop. ”

Hearing this, He Suoyi thought about it in his heart for a while, and then he had a flash of inspiration and said to Shen Huo: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better to be like this." Let's imitate Xu Qinghe's handwriting first and change the content of the creed, okay? ”

"That's a really good idea." Shen Huo's eyes lit up as he listened to what He Suoyi said, "Then let's do what Suoyi said." I just don't know how to change the content of this note? Bengu doesn't have any good ideas in his heart, so he listens to the advice he relies on. ”

Since He Suoyi made such a suggestion, he naturally had a bit of a plan in his heart, and naturally smiled when he heard the words, and said: "It will be changed to 'Although the granary of Beibi Mountain has been destroyed, the speed of filling the Great Zhou shows that its strength has not decreased, and it must be immovable and wait for the opportunity." 'Let's go. In this way, we can delay the time of Qi and Chu, and take advantage of this time to figure out some countermeasures. ”

"That's very good." Shen Huo smiled and immediately ordered someone to come and prepare pen and ink. The two of them carefully imitated Xu Qinghe's notes and changed the content. After the changes were made, the two tied them back to the pigeon's legs.

By this time the pigeon had woken up and was restlessly bouncing on the desk. It wasn't until I felt the letter tied between my legs that I barely quieted down.

Looking at the series of reactions of this carrier pigeon, He Suoyi laughed: "This carrier pigeon is really conscientious, strange and funny." ”

After He Suoyi laughed for a while, he stopped, carefully held the carrier pigeon tied to the letter, opened the window, and let it go, only waiting for the carrier pigeon to fly to Chu State and deliver the fake news.

Shen Huo and He Suoyi stood side by side by the window, watching the carrier pigeon soar all the way, flying out of the East Palace, and then out of the palace, gradually becoming a small dot in the sky, invisible.

It wasn't until the pigeon was out of sight that the two withdrew their eyes, carefully closed the window, and returned to the room.

After returning to the room, the two thought about the letter they had just seen, and discussed it carefully. On the basis of that letter, the two of them received the news not only that the strength of Qi and Chu had increased greatly, but also that the two countries were actually alliances, not hostile relations.

"A few days ago, the spies sent by my father sent back the news, saying that the two countries of Qi and Chu were not in harmony, and the annexation of small countries was just to increase their strength, and when they dealt with each other, this palace felt that something was wrong." Shen Huo frowned.

"I originally thought that this was an illusion of the palace, and there was no basis, and it was not easy to talk to my father. After reading this letter today, I realized that the idea of this palace was really correct. Speaking of this, Shen Huo couldn't help but clench his fists fiercely, and there was a little ruthlessness in his eyes.

Looking at Shen Huo like this, and then thinking about the news he had just seen, He Suoyi was also angry in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he said a little reluctantly: "But at the moment, we don't have any evidence to prove that the two countries of Qi and Chu are secretly cultivating plank roads, and based on this letter alone, the evidence is still a little thin." ”

"Hongu thinks so too." A few traces of frustration flashed in Shen Huo's eyes, and after a while, he thought of something, and said to He Suoyi: "It's better to do this, let's send someone to secretly go to Chu State to find out the news first, and when we get conclusive evidence, it's not too late to tell our father and emperor." ”

"That's all there is to it now." He Suoyi smiled helplessly, "I only hope that the people we sent out can get evidence as soon as possible, lest it be too late for the two countries of Qi and Chu to attack at that time." ”

Thinking like this, the two didn't dare to delay. Although Xu Qinghe's secret letter has been modified, this is just a measure of equity. If possible, it is much better to let the emperor know that there is a dirty initiative between Qi and Chu than to blindly delay.

Thinking of this, Shen Huo didn't care that it was a hazy night at this time, and called a group of guards overnight to come to his palace to give orders.

The people summoned by Shen Huo are naturally all Shen Huo's henchmen, who have accompanied Shen Huo from birth to death for many years, and have already treated him with all sincerity and will never betray him.

Not only that, but these guards are all very strong in martial arts, and they also have a lot of convenience when exploring the secrets of the Qichu border.

Because it was Shen Huo's order, and the guards were all well-trained. Although it was late at night, it didn't take long for all the guards to gather and gather in the East Palace.
