Chapter 391: Yue Xi City
The Dark Guard ordered to retreat.
When it was time to set off, Ji Ruxuan's face was no longer tired, Jiang Fuguang was finally relieved, changed into a black power suit, put on a mask, covered his whole face, only showed a pair of eyes, and followed Wei Si to leave the post station from the backyard over the wall.
Jiang Fuguang didn't know martial arts, and with the help of Wei Si, he climbed onto the courtyard wall, looking at the deep alley where he couldn't see his fingers, he was a little nervous, and the soles of his feet slipped and fell off the courtyard wall.
Wei Si hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick it up, but saw that in the deep alley, a figure that almost merged with the night passed by, and his long arms stretched out to catch Jiang Fuguang.
It's Ji Ruxuan.
She didn't have time to be afraid, her feet had already landed firmly on the ground, and she hurriedly said, "I'm fine." ”
Ji Ruxuan snorted and carried her out of the alley, the four horses stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the Boliudo sent by Luo Yan answered at the entrance of the alley.
The four horses rushed towards the city gate like sharp arrows, Boliudo led the way in front, Ji Ruxuan and Wei Siyi followed one after the other, and protected Jiang Fuguang in the middle.
Yuexi City is only one day's journey from Dali City, all the way to the horse, copy the road, the second morning, arrived at the Binchuan boundary in the east of Erhai Lake.
Binchuan is the east gate of the Bonan Ancient Road, the necessary place of the Southern Silk Road, the important town of the Yanma Ancient Road, rich in products, since ancient times, merchants and tourists gathered, is the most brilliant pearl in the southwest.
At this time, martial law was already under martial law in the city, and Jiang Fuguang and his party changed into Naxi clothes and entered the market under the leadership of Boryudo.
Boryudo led them to avoid the crowd, and after a long twist and turn, they finally came to a post house.
The Binchuan trade road is rugged, the mountain road is steep, the horse gang came into being, and the local post house is not only for the merchants to stay in the store, but also equipped with stables, forage, etc.
Boryudo and the shopkeeper exchanged the code, and Xiao Er nodded and stepped forward, leading them to a quiet courtyard in the backyard.
"This inn is very safe, the girl will rest here first, I will go out to inquire about the news first, try to contact His Excellency Sheng Lilong, and arrange a secret meeting between the girl and His Excellency Sheng Lilong as soon as possible."
Jiang Fuguang thanked him and quietly glanced at Wei Si, who understood and went out with Boliudo.
Boryudo is Luo Yan's cronies, so there should be a way to avoid people's eyes and ears and contact Sheng Lilong, no matter how bad it is, he can find out Sheng Lilong's current situation.
After entering the city, Jiang Fuguang secretly paid attention to the movement in the city, except for the martial law at the city gate, it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, the shops and vendors in the city are still operating as usual, although there are not many merchants on the street, but it is not nothing, it can be seen that there should not be much change in the Sheng Mansion, at least on the surface.
Yun China frequently provokes and makes trouble at the border, and the people in the city are panicked, if something happens to Sheng Lilong, it is difficult not to reveal the rumors, the city should have been chaotic, and Yun China wants to capture Dali City by surprise, and does not want to make extraneous branches, and the situation of Sheng Lilong should not be too bad.
However, all this is just Jiang Fuguang's speculation, and the specific situation depends on the news that Boliudo and Wei Si have found.
Jiang Fuguang ate some things, and seeing that it was still early, he took a nap to recuperate, and it was not until the evening that Boryudo and Wei Si returned to the post house.
Boryudo's face was a little solemn: "Your Excellency Sheng Lilong is seriously ill, in order to avoid the news leaking out and causing panic, Your Excellency Sheng Lilong has not appeared in public for some days, and the affairs of Yuexi City are all handled by Lady Lina's father and brother. ”
Mrs. Lena is Sheng Lilong's stepwife, from the Yue Xi Zhao family, I heard that the ancestors of the Zhao family, is Han blood, after the three edicts defected to the Southern Dynasty, the Zhao family, who has Han blood, rose in the status of the Yue Xi Zhao, and gradually became the great nobles of the Yue Xi Zhao.
Jiang Fuguang frowned and asked Boryudo: "When was the last meeting of the leaders of the Three Edicts?" ”
"About ten days ago," replied Boryudo without thinking, "at that time, the Excellencies met in Dali City, during which they discussed the time of martial law in Dali City, the preparations for the battle against Piroye, and many other matters. ”
Sheng Lilong is seriously ill for such a big thing, and after so much time, as the alliance's Luo Yan, it is impossible not to receive the slightest news.
Fuguang had a bottom in his heart: "In this way, Mrs. Lianna took advantage of her serious illness to put His Excellency Sheng Lilong under house arrest, and now the Yue Xi edict is advocated by the Zhao family, and the force that colludes with Yun China is likely to be the Zhao family." ”
Zhao Xizhao's situation is even worse than she thought.
"The reason is also very simple," she said slightly, and added, "The Zhao clan wants to pull Sheng Lilong off the horse and take the throne himself, but because he is of Han blood, not only the forces of Binchuan will not submit to him, but even Mengxi Mengshe, who has always been in the same breath as Yue Xi, will not recognize him." ”
The barbarian race concept is very important, and they attach importance to bloodline, and the identity of the Zhao clan is destined for them, and it is impossible for them to become leaders by their own strength.
"Since he looks at the pot and can't eat it, it's better to just smash the pot and stew it himself, if he wants to become the leader, he can only cooperate with Cloud China."
Piroye doesn't care, who will be in charge after the Yue Xi edict, what he values is the hegemony of unifying the southwest and going south to dominate.
For him, the edict of Yue Xi is known as the most extensive of the three edicts, the strongest soldiers, is a difficult bone to gnaw, because of the special terrain, after attacking the Yue Xi, but also to lose the generals, send troops to garrison, half the effort, the gain outweighs the loss, will affect the timing of his southward dominance.
It is better to follow Zhao's intentions, through Zhao's control of Yuexi City, with the help of Zhao's part of the elite soldiers, sent into Dali City, surprise, attack its unpreparedness, take Dali City at the smallest cost, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, conquer Mengxi and Mengshe in one fell swoop, at the best time, wave troops to Lingnan, and go south to dominate.
To him, Zhao is just a dog by his side.
Zhao doesn't care about this, anyway, they are all dogs, whether they are dogs for Sheng Lilong or Piroye, what is the difference?
To be a dog for Piroye is to maximize profits.
Before Jiang Fuguang set off for the southwest, he had already learned the details of the major forces in the southwest, and he also had some understanding of the Yue Xi Zhao clan, so he came to such an end, and it was not a random speculation.
Boryudo sighed and said: "Your Excellency Sheng Lilong is under house arrest, and the Sheng Mansion is heavily guarded, so if you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the Zhao family, and have a secret meeting with Your Excellency Sheng Lilong, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”
Before leaving, His Excellency Luo Yan gave him a list, and if something really happened to Yue Xi, he would contact the people on the list.
The three edicts are both prosperous and one is lost, which is the dark chess of the three edicts with the same qi and branches, and they communicate with each other.
In order to prevent the internal struggle of the three edicts, they affected each other's interests, and at the same time protected their own interests.
But the situation of the edict has developed to this point, is it still meaningful for the eldest princess to meet His Excellency Sheng Lilong?
For the safety of the eldest princess, I am afraid that this time I will return in vain.
