168 [Entanglement of Fate]

Heluo West City, Zhuo Garden.

In the afternoon, Qingyu Huaijin woke up from a nap, a pair of shallow pear vortices appeared on her white and jade-like cheeks, and her eyebrows were as lazy as a spring breeze.

After entrusting the matter of dealing with the Seven Star Gang to Wang Shidao and Li Shouzhen, she returned to Heluo two days ago and met with some more important people, including the envoys of several gangs in the Northland Green Forest.

Although the Seven Stars Gang is the leader of the Green Forest Gang, the strength of other gangs such as Yunfu Village and Jinsha Gang should not be underestimated, of course, she can't just focus on one place, she must coordinate the manpower of all parties, try to calm the opposition forces in the Yan Dynasty as soon as possible, and lay a good foundation for the next plan of the Jing Dynasty.

Qing Yu Huaijin got up, cleaned her hands and face, and changed her clothes under the waiting of the maids.

She likes to wear men's clothes when she walks outside, not to deliberately pretend to be a man, but just to think that men's clothes are simple, and she has not even done makeup modifications, so that others can see her identity as a woman at a glance.

After a while, she changed into a silver silk ink snow jasmine placket waist palace dress, a carved hosta obliquely inserted into the cloud sideburns, and the lotus step moved lightly when she moved, and the charming charm was natural.

After coming to the porch and teasing the parrot for a while, Qingyu Huaijin walked to the water pavilion in the northeast corner of the park with a smile.

She sat down beside the trunk and raised her slender hand, and a maid respectfully offered the celadon bowl.

"This Jingting green snow tastes good, go and talk to the people in the palace and ask them to prepare more."

Qing Yu Huaijin took a shallow taste, and handed the bowl back.

The maid took it with both hands and said softly: "Yes, Your Highness, the slave will do it later." ”

Of course, she knew that the "palace" mentioned by the county lord referred to the imperial palace of the Yan Dynasty, and this tea called Jingting Luxue was a tribute to the imperial court of the Yan Kingdom.

Qing Yu Huaijin used two more pieces of snacks and fed the fish in the pond for a while, before turning his head to look at the man waiting outside the pavilion, and said lightly: "Speak closely." ”

The man was in his thirties, his name was Xiao Jun, and he was the leader of a hidden force around her.

Qing Yu Huaijin's power is probably divided into several aspects, one of which is that the Jing Dynasty sent several armies in the territory of Yan State, and the commanders are all generals brought out by Qing Yugong himself, and he naturally respects His Royal Highness the county lord, and is willing to obey her dispatch without harming the interests of the Jing Dynasty.

The second is the inspection hall led by Wang Shidao on the surface, Jing Dynasty has been mixing sand into it for more than ten years, some people's identities have been detected by Wang Shidao, and some of them are hidden deeply, these people were handed over to Qing Yugong by Qing Yugong a few years ago.

The third is the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, including the ninth canonical madness of the martial arts list, and they can play a very good role in balancing and balancing various civil forces.

The fourth is the core guard composed of Jinglian masters, and Xiao Jun commands some of them.

Xiao Jun was burly and resolute, and he came to the pavilion to salute meticulously.

Qing Yu Huaijin asked, "Is there any abnormality in Heluo City during this time?" ”

Xiao Jun lowered his head and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the court should be as usual, and there will be no turmoil in the market." Judging from the eyeliner reports we have placed in the political hall and the Privy Council, after the previous large-scale adjustment, the Yan court has successfully entered a stable period, and then only the people selected by the prince need to control the power step by step. ”

"Yu Xinchen's side doesn't have to be in a hurry, we have to leave some dignity for these older generations, so that he can continue to stay in the position of the right servant, and he can also appease people's hearts."

Qing Yu Huaijin said leisurely, and then his eyes were slightly condensed: "Can Chen Jingtang be safe after he leaves office?" ”

Xiao Jun said: "He has never shown resentment and dissatisfaction to the outside world, and he has blindly sunk in Fengyue places, and most of the children of the Chen family are quite peaceful." ”

Qing Yu Huaijin slightly sneered: "That's it, this large-scale adjustment will inevitably cause panic in the Yan Kingdom's court, Chen Jingtang is the former privy deputy envoy, if it is nothing if he just buys a drunken green building, he will go." In the next period of time, my focus will be on the few Green Forest Gangs in the north, as long as there are no abnormalities such as private tandem in Heluo City, you can deal with small things at your own discretion. ”

Xiao Jun responded, and hesitated slightly.

Seeing this, Qing Yu Huaijin asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Xiao Junyu said: "Your Highness, news has come from the south, and Lu Shen, the commander of the Ruishi Battalion in Huaizhou of Southern Qi, has disappeared. ”

"Disappear?" Qing Yu Huaijin frowned slightly.

Xiao Jun said: "Yes. Ever since he was made the commander of the Sharp Battalion last year, he had been training in the camp on the outskirts of Anfu City, but he hadn't seen him again since nearly a month ago. Our people thought that he was living in seclusion by chance, but after repeated investigation, we found that this person had indeed disappeared. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin was silent, and his white fingers pressed on the wooden frame.

Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she also knew that the young man named Lu Shen was growing up to be the enemy of Dajing.

Prior to this, there were not many Southern Qi officials who were qualified to be regarded as enemies of the Dajing Dynasty, and the two governors of the border army were naturally counted, Chen Lanyu, the former commander of the Zhenbei Army, was also among them, and the two prime ministers in Yongjia City were also among them, but these people were all important ministers who had been through the storm for a long time, and Lu Shen was just a young man of weak crown age.

It's just that this young man's life is very hard.

There is no need to repeat what happened in Guangling City, the secret agents of the Prosecutor's Office suffered a big loss at the hands of this person, and the subsequent battles on the battlefield did not kill Lu Shen.

Qing Yu Huaijin repeated: "Disappear...... Has the Southern Qi border army made any moves recently? ”

Xiao Jun replied: "The Jingzhou Governor's Mansion has been focusing on stabilizing the defensive line recently, while the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion has shown signs of adjusting its troops, focusing on increasing the garrison at Panlong Pass, but it is not ruled out that this is Xiao Wangzhi's suspicious formation. Generally speaking, the Southern Qi border army had no obvious intention of counterattacking. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin's eyes were indifferent, because she hated this kind of situation that was beyond her control.

The whereabouts of a mere Southern Qi Lieutenant originally didn't make her take it to heart, but the two masters of the Prosecutor's Office failed to assassinate Lu Shen in the capital of Southern Qi, and with those previous entanglements, her murderous intent towards Lu Shen had been raised to a level second only to Xiao Wangzhi and Li Tianrun.

Suddenly, she remembered the people she had seen on the official road, as well as the more than twenty subordinates who died mysteriously in the wilderness, and the murderer who had been missing for many years.

For some reason, she always felt that these things were connected.

As soon as she thought of this, she calmly issued an order: "You will sort out the records about Lu Shen that have been archived in the Prosecutor's Office and send them over, and in addition, send someone to Huaizhou in Southern Qi to investigate the situation of Lu Shen and the Lu family, and see if you can find some new information." ”

Xiao Jun responded: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Qing Yu Huaijin waved his hand, and Xiao Jun immediately retired.

She slowly leaned on the trunk, her right hand propped up her jade-like chin, stared at the fish swimming in the pool, and muttered, "It's not a good thing for a young man like you to live a long time." ”

……

Inside the ordinary-looking house in the south city.

Lu Shen sat in front of the big case in the study, and there were several thick stacks of materials on the table, most of which had his marks on them.

The efficiency of the Warp Weaving Department is quite efficient, although they have not been able to penetrate the core area of the Northern Yan Dynasty so far, but they have done quite effectively in collecting intelligence.

What Lu Shen had to do was not easy, he had to sort out the chaff from these complicated and complicated information, and analyze the pattern of the Northern Yan Imperial Court, as well as the positions and connections of most of the important ministers.

Yin Shangfu and Tan Zheng stood solemnly beside them, waiting quietly.

After a long time, Lu Shen put down a scroll, pinched his eyebrows, and said to Yin Shangfu: "How many people do we have in Heluo City at present?" ”

Yin Shangfu replied without thinking: "There are a total of eighty-two people, of which thirteen have been lurking for a long time, and they have the official status of the pseudo-Yan court on the surface. Although their official positions are not high, Lord Tiju has said that they cannot be contacted until the last resort. ”

Lu Shen bowed slightly, at this moment he couldn't help but think of Gu Yong and Ning Li who he had seen in Huaizhou.

Wait, Ning Li......

Because Li Xuan'an died at the hands of Lin Xi, this person escaped back to Beiyan by luck, and it is said that he was not punished, but was reused by Wang Shidao and became an important official within the Prosecutor's Office.

After pondering for a while, Lu Shen said softly: "Help me to check on an official of the Prosecutor's Office named Ning Li, be cautious, and give up if you can't do anything to avoid attracting the other party's attention." ”

Yin Shangfu bowed his head.

Lu Shen raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table, his eyes stayed on a certain name on the document, and said slowly: "Chen Jingtang must have resentment in his heart after being dismissed from office this time, the key is how to provoke the anger in his heart, and at the same time try to avoid our people being implicated." ”

Yin Shangfu said cautiously: "Du Wei, Chen Jingtang and Guo Yan, the new privy deputy envoy of Pseudo Yan, have always been not in harmony, can they use this opportunity to start?" Now that Jing Chaoqing Yugong has preliminarily completed the adjustment of the important official positions of the Yan State, but Guo Yan and others are still unable to control everything in such a short period of time, the lower officials think that it is better to instigate Chen Jingtang to stand up, and then use his connections in the pseudo-Yan army to cause infighting. ”

"There is no problem with this general direction, the key is how to take the first step. Judging from Chen Jingtang's information and life, he is not the kind of temperament who dares to die and live later, otherwise he would not have indulged in the land of wind and moon during this time. ”

Lu Shen said unhurriedly, he looked at the name on the scroll, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said leisurely: "The son is not filial and the wife is not virtuous, and most of the husbands in the world are confined to this festival." ”

Yin Shangfu and Tan Zheng glanced at each other, and the two of them understood the deep meaning of this sentence almost at the same time.

He said tentatively: "What does the commander mean, start with the people around Chen Jingtang?" ”

Lu Shen raised his hand and pressed it on the scroll, pointed to the name with his index finger, and said with a smile: "Let's see how many catties and taels the son of this family in Heluo City has." ”

That name is Chen Qifu, but Chen Jingtang's second son, it is said that the text is not successful, but in the matter of looking for flowers and asking willows, the blue is better than the blue.
