Chapter 21: Lin Yuniang's secret methods
"It's Your Majesty's golden beryllium arrow, and the city will be opened quickly to welcome Your Majesty." A soldier saw clearly the feather arrow shot at Liu Heng's cheek, and shouted like crazy.
The soldiers guarding the city gate had already felt the truth of the matter, but they were afraid of Liu Heng's position as a partial general, and they didn't dare to open the city, but now when they heard the shout, they didn't think much about it, and immediately opened the city gate.
Liu Hengjian got up from the ground, his head was still buzzing, the feather arrow penetrated the left cheek, and the sharp arrow shot down a few teeth, hanging on the side of his cheek, which was both frightening and a little unbearable to laugh.
The pursuers have arrived.
"General Deng has an order, and the person who captures Liu Chan alive will be the lord of Shu Han." A general of Cao Wei rushed first and rushed straight to Liu Yong.
Liu Yong pushed away the soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and slashed at the front hooves of the war horse with his sword.
The horse fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty shall not be in love with war." Zhang Shao shouted.
A rain of crossbow arrows rained down from the city, and several Cao Wei generals in the lead fell off their horses.
The soldiers of the city poured out.
The four of them entered the city.
"What's wrong with Liu Heng?" Liu Yong ascended to the top of the city.
"General Liu has just been injured by His Majesty and has gone down to the city." Someone answered.
"This guy must be afraid of crime and run away." Zhang Shao scolded.
There were not many enemy troops chasing after the city, and after a rain of arrows on the city, they began to retreat.
Liu Yong let out a long breath, and then he felt as if his body was about to disperse, and there was a slight pain in one leg. He didn't even know when he was wounded, but the wound wasn't deep and the blood had dried up.
"I expect that the enemy army is only robbing my grain and grass, and will not attack the city in the short term, so you can stay here for the time being, and you must not leave without permission." Liu Yong pointed to a samurai and commanded, and then looked back at the two soldiers who had returned with him, "You two can escort General Zhang back to his house to heal his wounds first, wait here tomorrow, and come back tomorrow." ”
The two soldiers who did not die in the catastrophe were also quite gratified.
Liu Yong went down to the city, he wanted to return to the palace immediately to draft an order, beware of Liu Heng, who had escaped, from opening the city gate without permission.
There are not many available generals in the city, Liu Yong doesn't know if Qi Fang can recover, he still needs to beware of people like Liu Heng, the situation must be critical, and there will be no shortage of people in order to protect themselves.
Royal Palace, Yongtai Palace:
The palace maid waited here according to Liu Yong's instructions before leaving, looking a little anxious.
"Your Majesty has not yet returned, and we must not leave without permission." Another palace maid who came back from behind whispered something in her ear, and the palace maid's face sank and said.
"My sister is so attentive, but I don't know that Manager Chen is happy in the back?"
The palace maid was shocked.
"You mean Manager Chen went to look for the woman in the back again?"
"The slave didn't say it, but my sister can look at it herself." Probably this palace maid also felt that Chen Ji came to bully the woman under house arrest by the emperor, which was really excessive, and deliberately revealed the news to the palace maid around the emperor.
The palace maid was in a hurry and ran to the back.
Chen Ji is really here.
This guy took advantage of Liu Yong's opportunity to go out of the city and came and handed over Sima Banru's letter to Lin Yuniang.
"Sima Hou Ye wants his wife to endure for a few more days, the city is just around the corner, and when the time comes, Hou Ye will come here to welcome his wife back to the camp." Chen Ji smirked.
Lin Yuniang looked at the candle that Chen Ji had just brought on the table and lit the white ayazi.
"According to the concubine, this queen of Shu Han is not as wimpy as the legend, if my army wants to enter the city, it may not be as easy as imagined." Lin Yuniang's expression was very melancholy.
"Madame, rest assured, there are minions in the city as internal responses, according to General Deng Ai's orders, the minions will be able to poison the emperor soon, and then open the city to welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city." Chen Ji said.
Lin Yuniang looked at Chen Ji with a pair of slightly elongated eyes, and suddenly piled up an obsessive smile.
"Lord Chen is easy to say, the concubine is only afraid that the emperor has already taken precautions, and at that time, not only Lord Chen's life will not be guaranteed, but the concubine will also become a lonely soul here. If Lord Chen really wants to be rewarded for meritorious service, why don't you open the city gate as soon as possible, and at that time, my army will enter the city, even if your emperor is extremely brave, what will he do? ”
Chen Ji grinned.
"Madame's concern is the same as that of Marquis Sima, and the villain also thinks so, but General Deng Ai does not allow it, fearing that too many people in the city will be injured, and his intention is that when the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, he will win without a fight."
"Phew!" Lin Yuniang pursed a small mouth and took a sip, "Although Deng Ai is the commander of the army, most of the things are contrary to my marquis, he probably forgot that the current king of Jin is the biological father of my marquis?" Although the concubine is not the main room of the Hou Ye, but it is also the person of the Hou Ye's favor, if the concubine loses, how will the Hou Ye spare him? ”
Chen Ji felt that this was true.
"As an important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, Lord Chen can be so deeply aware of the righteousness and abandon the darkness to the light, which really makes the concubine admire. It's just that Lord Chen is a little timid in doing things, in the future, how can you speak well to the concubine in front of the Hou Ye? Lin Yuniang said again, but a pair of eyes secretly glanced at Chen Ji's face.
Chen Ji was really surprised by Lin Yuniang's calmness and sharp words.
"Madame's lesson is that the villain is also worried about this, the emperor has become suspicious of the villain, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Wu's side to defend it, the villain is afraid that he will be killed."
Lin Yuniang continued to look at Chen Ji's face.
She has been locked up here for many days, and there are many palace people who pass by the front of the house every day, during which she has also heard rumors about Chen Ji and Empress Dowager Wu, but it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity for a while. However, judging from Chen Ji's complexion and demeanor, she seemed to have guessed eight or nine points.
Lin Yuniang is no stranger to the eunuchs in the palace.
She used to be an ordinary palace maid in the Cao Wei Imperial Palace, specializing in serving one of the concubines of the original Cao Wei Emperor Cao Rui, but later Cao Rui died of illness, and her concubines were dismissed by Cao Fang, who succeeded to the throne. Lin Yuniang returned to her hometown with this concubine, but she was met by Sima Banru on the way. At that time, the Sima family did not have such great power, but secretly snatching a palace maid out of the palace like this was nothing to them.
Lin Yuniang is not an ordinary woman, after being snatched into Sima Ban Confucian's mansion, she quickly recognized her situation and began to use the means of competing for favor learned from the palace to fight for a place for herself.
It didn't take long for her to ask Sima Banru to officially accept herself as a concubine, and she also fantasized that one day she could become Sima Banru's main wife.
Sima Ban Confucianism is lustful by nature, and he can favor Lin Yuniang alone among many wives and concubines, which shows the cleverness of Lin Yuniang's methods.
According to what Chen Ji and Sima Ban said in the Confucian letter, when the food in the city is exhausted, he may have already become a lonely soul in another country, and he must not just sit back and wait for death.
The only person who can be used in front of him is Chen Ji, and if he wants him to be willing to take risks for himself, he has to work hard. Of course, the premise of this is that Chen Ji is an out-and-out fake eunuch.
Lin Yuniang felt that she would not guess wrong.
"Since Lord Chen knows that he has been suspected, but he is still holding back like this, do you have to ask the concubine to repair the book to Master Hou again, and ask him to urge you to fail?" Lin Yuniang's voice changed suddenly, and she seemed to inadvertently lean towards Chen Ji.
The brocade robe that Lin Yuniang grew up on was taken away by the palace maid when she was locked up here, and she was only wearing a close-fitting spiral jacket, which highlighted her convex and concave figure extremely really. Although I haven't worn makeup for a long time, my natural beauty is still very exciting.
Chen Ji couldn't help but have fire in his eyes.
"Bang", I don't know who knocked over something outside, startled the two people in the room as if they suddenly saw a cat and mouse, jumped up.
