Chapter 334: The Candidate of Fate

Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, the lights are full of streamers.

The soft bees and butterflies dance all the time, and the milk swallows and warblers cry everywhere.

Walking through it, it is as if you are experiencing a total temptation from the eyes to the nose, from the ears to the touch, and it is difficult for anyone to resist.

Under the guidance of the little guy, accompanied by two guards, Lu Shouhu, a tyrant in Nancheng, staggered through the corridor, touching the left and the right with his hand dishonestly, causing the girls who met by chance to laugh and scold at the same time, the whole person became more and more excited, and his steps became more and more vain.

When he came to the room he was familiar with, he pushed open the door, and saw the beautiful girl who was waiting for him in the room, and let out a few very villain laughs, strode forward, and threw himself over there.

The two guards helped to close the door with interest, and then stood guard outside.

In the room at this moment, Lu Yi's eyes changed suddenly, he was clear, and he was no longer half drunk.

There was no curfew in Zhongjing, and in the second half of the night, Lu Yi came out of Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion with a disheveled face and a satisfied face, and accompanied by the guards, rode on his horse and returned to Nancheng's old nest.

He was drunkenly propped up on his horse, his seemingly casual eyes keeping an eye on the possible tail behind him.

After returning to the nest, after a short time, he changed his outfit, climbed directly over the wall through the back door, and went to the secret passage.

In the secret passage, Concubine De, Xia Jingyun, Su Yuanshang, and Feng Xiuyun were among them, Chen Fugui looked at the door vigilantly, and saw that it was Lu Yicai who breathed a sigh of relief.

"Niangniang, childe, this is the latest information in recent days. The ones under my hands, those in the green building, I have all sorted them together. ”

Lu Yi handed over the information he had just copied.

Concubine De nodded gently, "It's hard work." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly bowed down, not daring.

Xia Jingyun read it silently, handed it to Concubine De, and then showed it to Su Yuanshang and Feng Xiuyun.

After Feng Xiuyun finished reading, her eyebrows furrowed, "I tried to design twice in a row, but I didn't succeed, how can this be good?" ”

Su Yuanshang shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Fengshan is really not easy to match, he has turned the tide twice in a row, if it weren't for him, we estimate that we would have succeeded in making the emperor immoral, and the British would have been divorced." ”

Concubine De thought back to the news she had just read, and said softly: "Not really, today Xiao Fengshan went to the British Mansion in person, obviously realizing that the situation was grim and had to go out in person, which shows that we have put a lot of pressure on him." He must have given a certain commitment to appease the British duke, who was stronger than them, so that the contradictions between the two sides were more likely to intensify. ”

However, this is not in line with Gao Yang's theory of quick victory. When they slowly make trouble like this, then they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon? ”

Su Yuanshang was both puzzled and worried, and his eyebrows were filled with sorrow.

Xia Jingyun looked at everyone's appearance, but inexplicably thought of a paragraph he had heard before:

[The three-goal victory of the Fusang team is difficult to hide the decline, and the Chinese team's one-goal defeat shows its edge]

This kind of Ah Q-style title that was ridiculed by the group is inexplicably in line with their current situation at the moment.

The situation seems to be stable, but Xiao Fengshan was forced to go to the British public to put out the fire in person, and he had already lost his calmness, and he was a little tired.

After all, the news that was thrown out will not be like a dragonfly and return to peace, but will set off ripples in people's hearts.

On the other hand, they are only a little tricky, and there are still many hole cards that have not been played!

Thinking of this, he smiled at everyone, "Don't worry, we don't have the luxury of being fatal with one blow, now we are like putting a noose on them, the first step is to put on their necks, the second step is slowly tightened, and now they seem to be safe and sound, just because we haven't used the last resort yet." ”

"Last resort?" Feng Xiuyun raised her eyebrows and picked out the shape of doubt.

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Do you think that in the battle for imperial power, we only need to hide in this secret passage and make a few conspiracies to make the emperor obediently step down and give up the throne, right?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Lu Yi scratched his head, "I thought Gongzi was the dead soldier I wanted to raise." ”

Xia Jingyun glanced at him, "How many people are you." ”

Concubine De also reacted, or she had been puzzled, but she didn't refute Xia Jingyun's face, so she never brought it up, "Who are you going to look for?" There are people with military power in this capital, who else can you trust besides Jiang Yuhu? ”

Xia Jingyun looked at Concubine De, "Sister, do you remember when I first entered Beijing?" ”

Concubine De's eyelashes trembled slightly, her expression showed memories and thoughts, and then her beautiful eyes shone brightly, "You mean Yue Pingwu?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, and Concubine De showed a sudden and satisfied smile.

Feng Xiuyun was a little puzzled, "Who is Yue Pingwu?" ”

Su Yuanshang also found out the life of this person from his memory, and suddenly laughed with enlightenment, "The first major event after Gongzi entered Beijing was to cooperate with His Majesty tacitly and snatch an extremely important post from the British duke, which is in charge of the appointment and dismissal assessment of most of the middle and lower-level officers in the army. ”

He looked at Feng Xiuyun and said three words softly, "Zhonghujun." ”

He shook his head slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fatalism in the cycle of cause and effect.

β€”β€”

Yue Pingwu is very calm these days.

It seems that the world-shaking event in the outside world is not half a wave for him.

In his eyes, it seems that there is only his official position and only his future.

So much so that many of his subordinates complained about him, but Yue Pingwu didn't care at all.

But what no one knew was that when he returned to his room, he had been wiping a gun silently every day since the news of His Majesty's death came.

It was given to him by His Majesty when he was promoted to the rank of General of the Central Protector Army.

He even remembered what His Majesty said to him at that time, "Yue Qing, I hope you will hold this gun and cleanse the army for me, sweep away the bad winds, eliminate the black sheep, promote the virtuous general, and the power of the Great Xia!" ”

"The minister will repay him wholeheartedly and live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

However, less than a year later, His Majesty was victimized by a traitor.

The spear is still there, but the Si people are gone.

He gripped the barrel of the spear, feeling its heaviness and tenacity, and let out a long, depressed breath.

Tuk tuk!

There was a soft knock on the door.

Yue Pingwu slowly put the spear on the gun rack, turned around and regained his composure, "Enter." ”

"General, the Duke of Fengyang sent someone to ask for a meeting."

Yue Pingwu frowned, he wanted to subconsciously refuse, but thinking that the Qin family would also do some munitions business on weekdays, it was estimated that it was these bad things, and the Qin family was not small, so it was not good to offend rashly, so after thinking for a while, he said, "Let him in." ”

Soon, a confidant of the Qin family walked in, "General Yue." The villain was ordered by the head of the family to present an invitation, and the head of my family set up a banquet in the Mingyu Building, wanting to invite the general to appreciate the light. ”

Yue Pingwu's brows furrowed even tighter, "Yue has never had any relationship with the head of your family, what does this mean?" ”

The steward said with a smile: "The general also knows that my Qin family is business-oriented, and business is always familiar after coming and going, if you only do acquaintance business, how can the Qin family make the family business so big." The head of my family personally set up a banquet, and when there is a good thing to discuss, I hope that General Yue will not hesitate to appreciate the light. ”

Yue Pingwu opened the invitation and glanced at it, and finally nodded, "Okay." Yue will go on time. ”

"Thank you, General. The villain took his leave. ”

The next day, in the evening.

Yue Pingwu came out of the yamen, went home and changed into civilian clothes, and then rode to Mingyulou.

He had always been open-minded, and he felt that there was no need to hide anything from this meal.

At the door of Mingyu Building, a steward had already greeted him personally, and then invited him to the box on the top floor.

Because the corridors on each floor of Mingyu Building are dedicated, he did not meet others.

But when he walked into the elegant and luxurious room and looked at the people sitting at the table, his expression changed suddenly.

"General Yue, please be seated."

Xia Jingyun smiled and stretched out his hand.

Yue Pingwu hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down, looked at Xia Jingyun, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "You are too bold!" ”

Xia Jingyun was noncommittal, "I only had a one-sided relationship with General Yue that day, but I didn't expect General Yue to remember it." ”

Yue Pingwu sighed with emotion, "There are a few people in Zhongjing City who don't know you!" ”

Xia Jingyun said calmly: "Now that Zhongjing City still knows me, I'm afraid there are not many people, and General Yue is one." ”

Hearing the words, Yue Pingwu's heart darkened, "You shouldn't have come." ”

"But I'm already here."

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to ask General Yue to help me, so I have to come."

"What can I help you?"

"Help me avenge Your Majesty and help me remove the crown prince from the throne."

Yue Pingwu looked up at Xia Jingyun suddenly.

Xia Jingyun smiled faintly, "I came to see you alone, can't I show my sincerity?" Can't you tell the truth with the generals yet? ”

Yue Pingwu took a deep breath and laughed at himself, "I'm a little military attachΓ©, what can I do to help you." ”

"Since you took office last year, with the support of Your Majesty, you have promoted a total of 127 junior military attachΓ©s, and now among these military attachΓ©s, there are at least 90 or so in the capital, all of whom are in quite key positions. Most of these people come from humble backgrounds, and if it weren't for you, I am afraid that it would be difficult for them to make achievements in the army under the command of the nobles for the rest of their lives, so they are all grateful to you. If the situation changes, you can raise your arms with your own troops and horses, plus the hundreds of dead soldiers I can gather for you, even if half of them respond, and bring their subordinates, it is also an extremely strong force. ”

Looking at the impassioned Xia Jingyun, Yue Pingwu suddenly laughed at himself, "Do you know what the situation in Beijing is?" The British army of 30,000 was outside, and the battalions of Yulin and Huben were also guarding Gyeonggi, and it would be two or three hours away. Xiao Fengshan's 3,000 elite soldiers were also stationed on the outskirts of the city, and they could come when they heard the news. There are also forbidden troops guarding the palace, and patrol battalions are stationed at the head of the city. How can people make waves with this! ”

If it weren't for this, he would have rebelled a long time ago to avenge His Majesty, and he would not have been in the room every day, thinking about the next strategy to assassinate the emperor.

Xia Jingyun didn't panic at all when he heard this, "Shang Zhicheng, the commander of the forbidden army, is an absolute loyal minister of His Majesty, what if he can help?" ”

"It's not enough."

"What if I can get the British Duke out of Beijing?"

Yue Pingwu shook his head, "Still no, Xiao Fengshan and his three thousand elite soldiers are still there." I can do it with you alone, but I can't gamble with you with the lives of so many brothers, it's not easy for them to survive. ”

"What if I can get Xiao Fengshan to leave Beijing too?"

"Still." Yue Pingwu was stunned suddenly, "How is it possible!" ”

Xia Jingyun looked at him with burning eyes, "Would you like to?" ”

Under this gaze, Yue Pingwu was slightly flustered, "It's impossible for Xiao Fengshan to leave Beijing!" ”

Xia Jingyun didn't answer, still staring at him directly, "I'll ask you, if he can also go, are you willing?" ”

Yue Pingwu took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I'm willing!" ”

Finally brought the update back.
