In the dark night, the branches of the willows by the Dufu pond poked into the green water, and three or four fish stirred the green leaves and rippled in circles, and the cool mist was surging.

There were still a few candles burning in Du Tingwei's room, and she was sitting in her clothes, with a person kneeling in front of her.

"You mean Your Majesty's people are also in Qiangcheng?"

The kneeling man couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice was hoarse: "Yes, there is a dark pattern on the cuff of that pedestrian's clothes, which is extremely difficult to see, but Xia Guan has seen it on the people who were next to the former emperor when he followed General Du to fight against Xinu." ”

Du Qianwei's hand was on her head, the candle flame was green, and a trace of doubt appeared on her indifferent and delicate face: "If it is really His Majesty's people, why did they come to Qiangcheng?" But what did you do? ”

The person kneeling on the ground shook his head: "Back to the princess, that pedestrian seems to be just looking for someone." ”

He continued: "Our 3,000 soldiers were secretly stationed in the city, but not long ago, a part of the imperial court soldiers from Suzhou were stationed in the city, and we temporarily hid under Qiangcheng, only secretly to spy on the news. ”

"Imperial Army?"

"Yes. It is indeed from Suzhou, and the official document taken by the leader is a special seal for northwest affairs. ”

Du Qianwei's eyes flashed: "You mean that those imperial court troops were sent by the prime minister." ”

"It should be related to the prime minister, and the first emperor gave him the right to manage military affairs in the northwest until his death."

The cold beauty chuckled twice: "Combined with your previous description to this official, this batch of imperial army should not be as simple as forming an army. ”

She gathered the clothes on her body and said, "It's Yao Xiang's person." ”

"It should be."

……

The kneeling man went out, Du Tingwei cut out the candle heart, and the room was in darkness: "It seems that the prime minister that we all praise is not so simple." ”

The next day, in the Taishi Museum, the faces of those writers were full of joy, and the "Law of the Apocalypse" was finally completed.

Yan said in an excited tone, and said to the colleagues below: "Hard, hard, everyone has been really hard these months, but fortunately, the law has been successfully written." ”

The white-bearded old officials below also couldn't hide their smiles: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Yan complained with a wave of his hand: "In order to reward everyone for their hard work these days, Ben Taishi Ling has ordered someone to put on a banquet in Dai Ning Building, and you teachers must come at that time." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

Yu Fu was also infected by their atmosphere, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the old writer next to him touched him with his elbow: "Look, Tai Shiling is good, working with her even feels that I am a lot younger, hahahahaha." ”

Yu Fu agreed: "Indeed." ”

After those Lang officials withdrew, only Yan Su and Yu Fu were left in the Taishi Museum, Yan Su rolled up her sleeves and began to sort out the classics on the table, she said to Yu Fu: Yu Tai Shizheng, only you and I are stronger and stronger in this museum, don't look at it, sort it out. ”

"Yes."

She complained to Yu while doing the work: "This Qingshan Palace is also weird, focusing on a self-sufficient, no servants or anything." ”

"You are Tai Shi Zheng now, and you can be a Tai Shi Ling in the future, what about me? How do you climb up? It's directly the boss of this Taishi Museum, alas. ”

Yu Fu smiled and said nothing, if he heard Yan say this before, he was afraid that he would have to say: "The lower officials don't dare." It's just that in the past few months of getting along, he has fully understood the words: it is good that she has come to add bricks and tiles to the apocalypse, but it does not prevent her from being a salted fish with achievements in the Taishi Pavilion.

Yan Yu straightened up and looked at Yu Fu: "Why don't you reply to me?" ”

Yu Fu didn't even stop moving: "Didn't my lord say that the Taishi Pavilion is your home, where do you want to be promoted?" ”

Yan Yu nodded, flicked his sleeves and said: "Tai Shizheng, what you said is good, confidant, nothing is as good as home." ”

Yu Fu shook his head helplessly, and went about his own business.

……

Yin Xi rushed over after receiving the news that He Duanshu had woken up.

Gu Ning stood behind Yinxi and looked at the people on the couch, not like they had just recovered from a serious illness, but like they were ...... Back to light.

The person on the couch was sick, his face was thin, the bitter cold land in the northwest, Feng Shui did not nourish people, Yin Xi looked at him with a concerned expression: "Duanshu, do you feel better?" ”

He had just woken up, and he didn't have much strength on his body, so he reluctantly hugged his fist at the visitor: "Lord Lao cares." ”

He looked around at the people standing in the tent and said, "There are some things I want to tell my lords." ”

Yin Xi knowingly instructed the people behind him, "Let's all go out." ”

He Duanshu touched it on the couch, and on the innermost side, he took out his precious short knife, and he handed the short knife to Yin Xi: "My lord, there is a dark box at the bottom." He forced himself to sit up, but he pulled the wound in his abdomen and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Otoki hurriedly helped him, and the blood fell on his black shirt, and he couldn't distinguish the color. Yin Xi saw that he vomited blood and just wanted to call the doctor outside the door, He Duanshu pulled his sleeve and gasped: "My lord, don't." ”

"Listen to what the lower officials said, the West ...... Xinu has changed, Yuewujun has captured a lot of postmen from our dynasty......"

He Duanshu's eyes looked at the short knife in his hand, and Yin Xi rotated the bottom of the handle, and with a "click", a blank piece of paper leaked out.

"This is the lower official, when he sneaked into the court of Xinu Wang, he sent a ...... discovered. ”

Yin Xi opened it to look, Hitomi shrank suddenly, and he turned to look at He Duanshu.

He Duanshu opened his mouth wide, red blood foam covered his entire chin, Yin Xi did not doubt that he held the paper in his arms, and shouted to the outside: "Where is the doctor?" ”

The accompanying medical officer who was named secretly said "not good" and hurried in, he probed He Duanshu's pulse, his face changed instantly, and he shook his head at Yinxi: "Lord He is dead." ”

"Isn't the abdominal injury healed?"

The medical officer pondered for a moment, then he opened the medicine box on his back, took out a pack of silver needles, and pricked a needle in He Duanshu's throat.

Yin Xi was silent for a long time, he stood up and walked outside, Gu Ning was still guarding outside the tent: "Gu Ning, you can take Lord He's corpse back to Beijing." ”

"Yes."

Yin Xi hurriedly walked back to his tent: "Yunji, you stay here for the time being, and then spy on the news, this official will go back to Beijing first." ”

"Why so suddenly?" The clouds are extremely puzzled.

"Regarding the safety of His Majesty, this official has to leave."

Yin Xi did not hesitate, untied the reins of the horse, and got on the horse with a stride, his palms were slightly moist, and he didn't have time to explain more, and as soon as he flicked the whip, the red-maned horse raised its hooves and went away, swinging layers of soil.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the whip on his hand kept moving: Your Majesty's guess is really good, there are fine works in the forbidden army, otherwise where did Yue Wujun get his portrait.

At this time, in Deqing Palace, Jiang Churan looked at the booklet presented by Changming, and nodded with satisfaction: "Changming's work really reassures me." ”

"Your Majesty has praised it."

Her fingers flickered: "This Yao family's industry is really big, and 'rich rival country' is a humble word." ”

"In addition to these, I also found other news about the Yao family."

Changming said: "The Yao family has a treasure pavilion, which is heavily guarded, so I can't go in to check it, and the other is that the ministers found that the Yao family has a close connection with Baiyue." ”

Jiang Churan flipped her fingers, and she looked up at Changming: "What do you mean by this?" How to contact one? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, in the previous dynasty, because of the softness of the Baiyue women, they have always been the favorites of the nobles in the southern region, and they were popular in Jiangnan, and the ministers found that there are now many Baiyue women in the first district of Jiangnan who have entered the house of Mingke Qiangyu and have done stewards, and they also have quite an opinion on the affairs of the court.

"From the Yao family?"

Changming nodded: "Yes, the Yao family has a school in the south, which is specially used to train Baiyue women, and let them out after completing the school, but they must be given ten gold to the Yao family for redemption." ”

Jiang Churan's expression lost the shock just now: "It's just less than a month, how can you find out so clearly?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is not a secret in the south, probably because of its unscrupulous actions, although the Yao family did not publicize it, they did not deliberately hide it."

"I see."

Jiang Churan looked back at the booklet in his hand again: "Are the bottom of those Baiyue girls clean?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's all bought from human teeth."

"It's also a way out, and falling into the hands of human teeth will only be the life of a coolie." Jiang Churan closed the things in her hand, and she continued: "The current consul of the Yao family is Yao Pu's half-brother, right?" ”

"Yes."

Jiang Churan looked at the portrait in his hand, the little boy looked cute, and muttered, "Yao Jing." ”

"Let Zhong Buli have more contact with this person."

Changming bowed and said in a respectful tone: "Yes." ”
