Chapter 304: News from Xia Gongcheng
The figure entered the room, took the black face towel off its face, and suddenly showed a mouthful of large white teeth.
With the faint moonlight outside the window, he immediately saluted Qin Shuhuang, Xie Xuanye and the others, "Your Highness is healthy!" Command! Lord Liu! ”
Qin Shuhuang helped Song Yiqiu up and asked him to sit down and speak.
After Ruihe Song Yiqiu and Shilan He Yutian separated in Aocheng, Ruihe Song Yiqiu hurried to Xia Gongcheng first, and they were lucky enough to arrive in Xia Gongcheng the night before the heavy snowstorm came.
Later, the two of them lurked in Xia Gong City with some men and horses, helping Qin Shuhuang to investigate the situation in Xia Gong City.
The day before yesterday, Lu Da only got in touch with Song Yiqiu, so they can meet here tonight.
Ruihe was worried about Qin Shuhuang's safety every day, and in Xia Gongcheng, Song Yiqiu's ears were about to be read out of the cocoon by Ruihe.
Now that he saw His Highness sitting peacefully across from him, his high-minded heart could finally be put down.
When he returned to Xia Gongcheng, he had to explain to Ruihe.
Qin Shuhuang took the lead in asking, "What is the current situation in Xia Gongcheng?" ”
Song Yiqiu said with a serious face: "The Cao family's power is even greater, because of the previous dispute, the Xu family's power is not as good as before, and now, I am afraid that the Xu family only has the control of Sancheng in Xia Gongcheng." ”
What?!
How could it be!
When they set off from the capital to Beidi, the news at that time was that the division of forces between Xu Cao's two families was four or six, why did it become like this after only more than three months?
Qin Shuhuang, Xie Xuanye, and Liu Renci's faces all became solemn.
The Cao family is a force subordinate to the regent, and if they are powerful in Xia Gong City, it will be even more difficult to implement the national policy of Dawu Beidi Commerce!
Liu Renci twisted his eyebrows, "You just said strife, what strife?" In autumn and winter, the border army should stock up on grain and recuperate, how can there be disputes? ”
Song Yiqiu sighed, "The specific subordinates have not been found out, I only know that more than a month ago, the Xu Cao family in the border army suddenly conducted a military training, this kind of training was also held every year in the past, after all, the Xu family was brought out by General Xu Kui, and there were many victories and few defeats in the training." How did you know that the Xu family was defeated in this military training! Because of this, the Xu family's power in the army was frustrated, and many middle-level generals defected to the Cao family......"
All:......
Xie Xuanye said coldly, "The Cao family is afraid that the third master of Xu San left Xia Gongcheng with the elite of the Xu family, so he deliberately organized this training. ”
Song Yiqiu was shocked, "Commander, what are you talking about, Master Xu San was not in the border army when the Xu Cao family was training?" ”
Liu Renci smiled bitterly, "Yes, at that time, Master Xu San took someone to the border to help us......"
Where did they think that just entrusting the Xu family to help them led to the current consequences......
Xu San's old man, Xu Zizhang, is the successor of the old Xu general Xu Kuiding in the north.
Master Xu San's generation is the most talented of him, as long as he sits in the Xu family in Xia Gongcheng, the Cao family will not encroach on the Xu family's power in the short term.
There are many young and promising generals in the grandchildren of the Xu family, but they are all young and lack experience, and they can't afford to be a big deal in the past ten years.
Master Xu San left Xia Gongcheng all of a sudden, didn't he take away the backbone of the Xu family!
Song Yiqiu was also strange in the past, but now when he heard Qin Shuhuang and the others say, he immediately understood.
"What else did you hear about during your time in Xia Gongcheng?" Qin Shuhuang continued to ask.
The matter has been cast, and it is useless to regret it, it is better to look forward and see if we can find an opportunity to weaken the Cao family.
Song Yiqiu cheered up, "Back to Your Highness, my subordinates also found out that the Cao family had colluded with the Beidi Wolf King!" ”
Hearing this news, although everyone's expressions were not good-looking, the news was still in their expectations.
The Cao family can rise rapidly, and there must be someone to support it.
The regent is one of them, he can give money and power, but after all, the capital is too far away from the north, and Xia Gongcheng is pressed by the Xu family, and the Cao family will not make much trouble in a short time.
But the Cao family has developed in a short period of time, so there must be the support of the nearby forces, except for the power of the Beidi Royal Court, they can't think of anything else!
"And the subordinates also found out that the Cao family has a concubine who has become the concubine of the wolf king! And I already have a child with the wolf king! ”
At this point, Liu Renci finally couldn't listen to it, and slapped his palm on the table, "How can this be reasonable!" It is connected with a foreign country and confuses the bloodline! ”
The Cao family gave the wolf king a lineage, not a lowly concubine, which shows that the Cao family and the wolf king are closer than they seem on the surface, and this kind of intimacy is likely to be unknown to the regent.
"The black market near Xia Gongcheng is actually jointly organized by the Cao family and the Wolf King, and the profits earned on the black market will be quietly sent to the Cao family to strengthen the Cao family's army. The subordinates found out that tomorrow's black market was in Gaitang Valley, and it would end at noon. ”
Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye glanced at each other, "We want to go to this black market tomorrow, but is there an obstacle?" ”
Song Yiqiu shook his head, "As long as His Royal Highness buys something on the black market and pays the tax, it will be fine, and those who can know where the daily black market is, are either the people of the wolf king or the businessmen who are familiar with the Cao family, they will not be embarrassed." ”
Qin Shuhuang bowed, "General Liu has arrived in Xia Gong City?" ”
Song Yiqiu shook his head, "It shouldn't be, there is no movement in the Cao family." ”
Song Yiqiu asked again: "When does Your Highness plan to enter Xia Gong City, you can ask your subordinates to inform the Xu family in advance." ”
Qin Shuhuang looked at Liu Renci with a slight smile, "Uncle Liu, when do you think we should enter the city?" ”
Liu Renci stroked his gray beard and said: "Let's go to the city when I see the black market tomorrow, but I don't have to tell the Xu family to be entertained by the Xu family after entering the city, and the Cao family is also good!" ”
Qin Shuhuang's smile grew, "Then listen to Uncle Liu!" ”
Where did Song Yiqiu think that His Royal Highness would not only enter the city quickly, but also go to Cao's house, and suddenly sweated profusely.
"Your Highness, the Cao family is in cahoots with the regent, it is not safe for you to go to the Cao family!"
Xie Xuanye glanced at Song Yiqiu, "Stupid, I'm afraid that the Cao family has been very close to the wolf king a long time ago, and many things have been done by skipping the regent and the wolf king, such a Cao family, do you think the regent will completely believe it?" ”
As long as the Cao family has a disagreement with the regent, then the Cao family will not be completely harmful to Qin Shuhuang for the time being.
It's also a good time to inquire and explore the Cao family, and maybe you can find something in the Cao family that they need so much.
The third master of the Xu family is wise, and he will definitely understand Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renci's intentions and restrain the juniors, of course, Qin Shuhuang will ask someone to send a letter to Xu Zizhang.
Song Yiqiu was reminded by the commander to react, but Rao was like this, he still couldn't help but worry.
But when he heard the Commander say that just now, why did he feel that after not seeing him for a few months, the Commander seemed to have become confident and strong? Could it be his delusion?
After communicating with each other, a few people set a time to go to the black market early tomorrow morning and go back to the room to rest.
