Chapter 190: A Stormy Quiet Night
There was still silence in the Cangshan Palace, and no one knew the answer. They only knew that early tomorrow morning, 30,000 soldiers of the Northern Army would arrive at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.
Cangshui and Cangmu glanced at each other and hid their ugly faces.
Qi Zhengchu and the others did not return, and the Northern Frontier Army made another move. It's hard for Cangshui not to connect these two things.
At this time, Cang Shui could only be silent, and now any action he made felt like a thief.
"Didn't you send someone to the Northern Army to investigate, do you have any news?" Cangtu asked.
Cangjin shook his head and said, "In the past two days, more than a dozen people have been dispatched, those who have been investigated, and those who have visited, none of them have been heard from, and none of them have returned. ”
There is no need for Cang Jin to say more, everyone also realizes the seriousness of this matter.
There is no indication of this, these people were either detained or dead.
The northern army did not send a letter to Cangshan, so it was quite an undeclared war.
"Maybe his Northern Frontier Army is just borrowing the way, not targeting us Cangshan, it's all of us worrying."
"Hmph, that's easy. Do you have to wait until Chen Bing Mountain to ask for a reason? When the time comes, the entire Cangshan will be in danger. ”
"The reason must be asked. The Northern Army can't bully me Cangshan for no reason, otherwise the division is nameless, and Cangshan should really be bullied? ”
"Elder Zhao is right, but this reason is really a sin, how should we deal with ourselves in Cangshan?"
"Lao Li, what do you mean by that?"
What does it mean, those who should know it will know it. Elders should also think about whether they have done something they should not have done while walking in the world. ”
At this time, all the elders didn't care about the factions, and they all frowned.
Cangshui and Cangtu walked side by side in the mountain road, and both of them were silent, as if they had the same thing hidden in their hearts.
"Could it be that?" Cangtu couldn't help but ask. His voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear him.
Cang Shui said uncertainly: "It's not good to say. The movements of the northern army are unknown, and several of them did not return to the mountain at the beginning. Everything is unpredictable. ”
"What about the one from Beiliang City?" Cangtu asked, "Did the man respond?" ”
Cang Shui shook his head again, "The letter was sent the day before yesterday, and even if it was a reply, it was not so fast." ”
"I hope it's not like that....." Aoki sighed leisurely. Otherwise, a catastrophe will come to Cangshan. ”
A hundred causes must have results, and the two of them should have expected this consequence when they acted back then.
The movements of the Northern Frontier Army put everyone in danger, not only Cangshan, but also other sects.
However, there are always people who are open and fearless.
Xiong Kui and Zong Linyue were listening to the messenger's return. The direction of the Northern Army's march is in the direction of Cangshan, which is also the direction where the White Flame Valley is located.
Even if he had a clear conscience, White Flame Valley wanted to find out the intentions of the Northern Army's trip. Just ask for peace of mind.
"Xu Qing really said that?" Xiong Kui asked.
The messenger replied: "Although the disciple has not seen Marshal Xu Qing, these words are from the mouth of Marshal Xu Qing. ”
Zong Linyue was not as worried as Xiong Kui, and said: "Old Xiong, since we are allowed to stay at ease, don't worry too much." ”
Xiong Kui said: "That's fine. Lao Tzu was also much more relieved. However, the Northern Army is so aggressive, presumably for the sake of Cangshan. ”
......
In the barracks of the Northern Army, Xiao Jingyao was holding a chess scripture, and the black and white on the chessboard were scattered, and there were countless pieces.
Jiang Qing watched the chess from the sidelines, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a look of sudden realization.
Until the dust settled on this game of chess, Xiao Jingyao put down the chess scripture and rubbed his brows. Jiang Qing shouted: "Good chess, wonderful!" ”
"Where did Your Highness get this chess game, it's really wonderful, wonderful!"
Jiang Qing loves chess, but his chess skills are not good. Qiu Jinfeng once said that watching chess is like watching people.
Jiang Qingzhi's chess path is fast and direct, and the layout is not exquisite, but it can also trap the enemy for a while, and he can win while playing steadily.
Compared with Li Xiuyuan, or Qiu Jinfeng's scheming and trapping everywhere, Jiang Qing can only be regarded as a stinky chess basket.
Therefore, Jiang Qing can't be a minister, being a direct minister, and being a loyal minister is his best career path.
Xiao Jingyao recalled every step he had taken, and smiled bitterly. If it were him, he wouldn't have been able to do this kind of layout. Whether it is a white son or a black child, it is not comparable to him.
"This game is a game played against Li Qingru and Guoshi chess player Fan Sixian in the Qingyun test many years ago."
Jiang Qing's mind conjured up the demeanor of a woman. At that time, Li Qingru was known as the "unparalleled national warrior".
"Li Fuzi's chess skills are superb. After Li Fuzi, Da Chu has never produced a strange woman with such infinite style as Li Fuzi. ”
Xiao Jingyao nodded, and said with admiration: "This palace also admires Master Li, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see him." I heard in this palace that Master Li is Yu Zhi's aunt? ”
Jiang Qing smiled and said, "That's true. Li Fuzi is now asking the superintendent of the academy. Who would have thought that the graceful Master Li would teach a nephew who was called 'the shame of asking the question'? At the beginning, this incident was still rumored in Kyoto for a long time. Every time Qingyun tries, this matter will be brought out and talked about. ”
"Hahaha." Xiao Jingyao made Jiang Qing a cup of tea and said, "Now, does Master Jiang still think that Yu Zhi is a 'shame to ask the question'?" ”
Jiang Qing was stunned, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's really blind." Old eyes are dizzy! ”
Xiao Jingyao smiled faintly and said, "In Kyoto, what is the only person who looks away? ”
"When Yu Zhi returns to Kyoto, he will definitely clear the stigma and let those who are blind know what it means to look down on people."
Hearing Xiao Jingyao say this, Jiang Qing knew in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attached great importance to Yu Zhi.
"His Royal Highness ordered the Northern Army to slow down, but it was also for Yu Zhi?" Jiang Qing asked.
It is said that the soldiers are fast and unexpected. If Xiao Jingyao was willing, the Northern Army would have been able to surround Cangshan as early as when Kyoto replied to the letter, why would it be so well-known now.
Xiao Jingyao said calmly: "This matter is found out by Yu Zhi, and there is no harm in cooperating with his plan." ”
Jiang Qing thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, the minister sent Bai Yu to Beiliang Mansion. When Qi Zhengchu and Zhao Han were assassinated, they were captured by Yu Zhi and others. And Bai Yu is nowhere to be found..."
Jiang Qing has been in Beiliang Mansion for many days, but he doesn't want to find no trace yet.
Listening to what Qi Zhengchu and the others said, Bai Yu fled alive. But no trace is not a good thing.
Xiao Jingyao knew about this and said, "This palace has sent the Northern Border Army to search for the traces of Bai Yu. Trust him to be fine. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Qing could only nod his head and say yes.
"What matters tomorrow is the big drama of Cangshan." Speaking of this, Xiao Jingyao sighed, "This is ultimately a debt to that girl." ”
The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and Jiang Qing also sighs. He had seen Guo Shu'er, but he didn't know what Yu Zhi knew, and the shame in his heart was a little lighter.
The justice of the world is greater than the profit.
When justice is needed, justice has some value.
Yan Yi came on that Qingluan, and I don't know if it was for the justice or for the young man.
But in her opinion, there is no difference between the two. Yan Yi believed that the young man would return justice.
The omniscient Yan Yi soon found the foothold of Li Haomiao and the others.
"Yan Yi?" When Ye Qinghuan saw the comer, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yan Yi looked at Ye Qinghuan, "Long time no see." In the Qingyun test that year, Yan Yi was convinced. If you lose, you lose, but you are free. It's not like Bai Yu, who wants to get back to the field all the time.
As Ye Qinghuan entered the house, Yan Yi saw Li Haomiao who was drinking.
Ye Qinghuan just wanted to introduce, but Yan Yi said, "Junior Yan Yi has seen Grandmaster Li. ”
Li Haomiao turned his head to look at the girl in Tsing Yi who entered the door, and wanted to deal with a few words casually, but when the words came to his mouth, he looked at the girl and was stunned.
The sip of wine was already in his mouth, and he didn't swallow it for a long time.
"Yan Yi... Your father's surname is Yan? Li Haomiao came back to his senses and asked.
Yan Yi was also stunned, this was the first time someone asked her father's surname. However, Yan Yi didn't know how to answer this question. She didn't know that she had a father when she was a child, but her mother did have one, but whether she had it or not, it was almost the same.
She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe my father is also surnamed Yan." ”
Li Haomiao raised his hand and motioned for Yan Yi to sit down. For some reason, when he saw the girl in Tsing Yi, he felt a kind of love in his heart.
is different from when I saw Li Wantong, and my love for Li Wantong is completely because of Yu Zhi. When the elders see their nieces and daughters-in-law for the first time, they always have to give them a meeting gift.
But facing Yan Yi in front of him, Li Haomiao had a feeling that he had never felt before, and he didn't know how to describe such a feeling.
Li Haomiao said: "I have a friend who is also surnamed Yan, and he ...... with you It's a bit similar. ”
Ye Qinghuan watched Li Haomiao pour wine for Yan Yi, and said in his heart: Is Uncle Li so hospitable?
Yan Yi said with a smile: "Then Grandmaster Li's friend must also be a beauty." ”
Yan Yi praised others, and he was also praising himself.
"Hahaha." Li Haomiao laughed, "Interesting, you're funny." It's really like my friend. ”
She ...... is indeed a beauty. Li Haomiao's expression was remembrance, but also with a touch of loneliness.
Yan Yi drank the wine and pursed her lips, looking like she was enjoying it. Immediately, Yan Yi said his conjecture about the will of Kyoto in three eyes.
When Ye Qinghuan heard this, he just said: "I know, when I meet Yu Zhi, I will tell him." ”
According to his nature, if Kyoto's will is really so...... Then he won't give up. Yan Yi said.
Li Haomiao drank wine and said, "You know that kid." However, as you reminded me, I think Kyoto's intention must be to abandon the murdered officials. Our emperor of Dachu has always been a person who is good at making trade-offs. ”
For some reason, Yan Yi felt that Li Haomiao's tone was a little familiar.
It was just a moment for Yan Yi to remember, just yesterday Yan Duyan also said such words and such a tone.
