Early the next morning, Qingyu Huaijin walked into the courtyard slowly, looking at the pear tree in the corner with cold eyes, but seeing the new sprouts, everything in the world recovered.

In such a season of spring returning to the earth, her mood is extremely cold and depressed, and she doesn't seem to feel the slightest warmth from the outside world.

Standing quietly for a while, Qingyu Huaijin slowly raised his right hand, then took a step forward and slapped it with one palm.

The pear tree did not move, only the branches and leaves at the top swayed gently with the spring breeze, as if to mock the woman's weakness.

This hook is really powerful.

Qing Yu Huaijin frowned, she could obviously feel the existence of internal strength, but as long as she urged the exercises as before, there would be an invisible hand that pinched her meridians, so that she could not exert any strength.

"Early in the morning, you can change your brutal habits a little?"

Lu Shen's voice sounded by the door, and Qing Yu Huaijin turned his head to look, only to see him standing with his hands in his hands and his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his expression was quite serious.

Listening to the reproach in his words, she subconsciously grimaced: "What are you-"

The words came to an abrupt end, and after Lu Shen's long lesson last night, the county lord obviously understood the truth that heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

Lu Shen didn't continue to ramble, and walked closer and asked, "What about the letter?" ”

Qingyu Huaijin turned his head, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and then didn't look at Lu Shen, just handed it over there.

Lu Shen stretched out his hand to take the letter, and said while reading it: "During this time, your food and drinking water will be regularly and quantitatively added to the poison of Hook Shen. But don't worry, this poison will not damage the rest of your body, it will only limit the internal strength in your body, so that you can't continue to hurt others. When you agree to my conditions with the emperor, you can regain your freedom, and in another seven or eight days, the poison in your body will naturally dissipate. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin gradually widened his eyes.

Lu Shen read the letter she wrote to Qingyu Zhongwang from beginning to end, and said with a slight bow: "The handwriting is good, it seems that you have been studying Daqi culture since you were a child." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qing Yu Huaijin said unconvinced: "Decades ago, the great Confucianism of our clan founded Jinglian Writing! ”

Lu Shen shrugged: "You say yes, that's it." ”

He handed the letter to Li Chengen, who was following him, and instructed: "I will pick a few clever brothers to go north and hand over this letter to Qing Yu Zhongwang." Let them not worry, the county lord is living comfortably here, and Qing Yu Zhongwang will not embarrass them. ”

"Yes, young master."

Li Chengen agreed with a smile.

Lu Shen turned his head to look at Qing Yu Huaijin, who was not good-looking, and asked unintentionally, "By the way, do you know where Wang Shidao is hiding?" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin said in a sullen voice: "I don't know. ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "I really don't know? I think you might be able to stand up to me in other matters, but you shouldn't hide yourself in this matter. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin looked at the faint smile on his face, resisted the urge to punch him in the face, and asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Shen said slowly: "After I went back last night, I had a general understanding of the bloody incident that happened in the Taiji Palace. Judging from the scene at the time, Zhang Can was obviously premeditated, and it was definitely not a temporary idea. Isn't it suspicious that he's engaged in such a big battle right under your nose, and the Prosecutor's Office doesn't notice it? To be fair, I don't believe you can take full control of the Prosecutor's Office in just a month or two. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin groaned: "You want to say that this matter is related to Wang Shidao? ”

Lu Shen said: "This is my intuition, there is no real evidence, believe it or not." I just think that if no one helps cover up, Zhang Can can't be seamless, and the person who has the ability to help him cover up must be Wang Shidao. He doesn't need to do anything out of his mind, just cut off the Prosecutor's Office's surveillance of the palace, and you'll be blind. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin glared at him very ineffectively, and asked again, "Why did he do this?" ”

"It's definitely not against you, otherwise he can't afford that consequence."

Lu Shen smiled faintly and said leisurely: "It's nothing more than hoping that Zhang Can and the pseudo-Yan Baiguan will kill you to the death, and then there will be a large power gap, and he can take advantage of the situation." Aside from that, do you know? I don't want to say it, forget it, anyway, I believe in the ability of the warp weaver brothers. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin was extremely angry with Wang Shidao, who was hiding evil intentions, so he whispered a few place names, and said: "These places are the strongholds he has been to before, but now that you control Heluo on the surface, he may not dare to show up." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Shen slowed down his tone, and then said: "I still have a lot of things to do, you stay here for a few days, remember not to be distracted, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." ”

Qing Yu Huaijin didn't answer, and turned around and walked directly towards the house.

Lu Shen glanced at her back, and then left with Li Chengen.

"Young Master, didn't you see Master Wang Dao yesterday?"

Li Chengen lowered his voice, his face full of puzzlement.

Lu Shen said indifferently: "This kind of person is capricious and difficult to handle, and it makes no sense just by verbal promises." If we want him to do things for us honestly, we have to force him away from the powerful people of the Jing Dynasty. As long as Qing Yu Huaijin goes back with a mentality of suspicion of him, he will have no other choice but to completely fall to our side in the future. ”

Li Chengen said convincingly: "That's true. ”

"You have people send the letter out now, and when Wang Shidao sends the information of the powerful men in the city, you can select useful people from among them and gather them with the Ruishi battalion. We don't have a lot of time left, so tell your brothers not to slack off, and I'll treat you all when you get back. ”

Lu Shen stretched out his arms, his eyes full of ambition.

"Obey!"

Li Chengen responded loudly.

……

A few days later.

More than 270 miles north of Heluo, the small city of Linwu.

The originally quiet and peaceful county town became tense and solemn because of the arrival of a Jing Dynasty army.

This army consisted of more than 10,000 cavalry and nearly 2,000 foot soldiers, and the leading general was Qing Yugong's eldest son, Qing Yu Zhongwang.

In the main hall of the county government's house, the magistrate and several scribes respectfully offered fragrant tea, and then carefully saluted and retired.

The atmosphere here is very solemn.

When the army was still in the territory of Henan Road, Qing Yu Zhongwang received an urgent report sent by Mou Lianghu, when he learned that Heluo had fallen, Qing Yu Huaijin fell into the hands of the Qi army, and almost fell into a state of rage, and all the surrounding cronies were silent.

Fortunately, Qingyu Zhongwang did not anger others, perhaps because of the confrontation between Ruyin City and Xiao Wangzhi, and the later retreat on the way, he had a premonition about this matter.

Today another epistle came from the south.

Qing Yu Zhongwang looked at the familiar handwriting on the paper, and his heart was like a knife for a while.

Although Qing Yu Huaijin's tone in the letter was very relaxed, she had never experienced that kind of dangerous situation after all, and she could not imagine how tormented her situation was in the enemy barracks.

Most of the Jing Dynasty often has some rumors, arranging Qing Yugong's children to fight for power and profit, but Qing Yuzhong knows very well in his heart that his sister has never had the idea of competing with him, which is also the reason why the brother and sister have been extremely close since childhood.

Now that Qingyu Huaijin is in prison, how can he, as the eldest brother, deal with it calmly?

"Little Prince......"

Lou Shuo Fang Ming looked at Qing Yuzhong's face and shouted uneasily.

Qing Yu Zhongwang said coldly: "Say." ”

Lou Shuo Fangming calmed down and said respectfully: "According to the humble opinion of the last general, our army cannot do what the enemy tells us at the moment. Lu Shen pretended to use the mouth of the county lord to force our army to stay away from Heluo City, just to use this month's time to strengthen the city defense, and hoped that the little prince would think twice. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang asked, "The defense of Heluo City needs to be reinforced?" ”

Lou Shuo Fangming was slightly stunned, and then said: "General Mou Lianghu said in the emergency report that there was a gap in Heluo North City, which was collapsed by Lu Shen using explosives. In other words, there is a fatal gap in Heluo City now, and if our army makes a quick assault, it can take advantage of this gap to break into the city. If the other party is given a month, presumably Lu Shen can drive the people in the city to repair the city wall. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang was silent.

Che Muji on the other side said in a deep voice: "Lou Shuo, everyone understands your words, but have you ever thought about a question, if we forcibly approach Heluo, don't we force the enemy army to murder His Royal Highness the County Lord?" ”

Lou Shuo Fangming's face tightened, and he hurriedly said to Qing Yu Zhongwang: "Little prince, the last general has no such intention. ”

Qing Yuzhong waved his hand and said slowly: "Aside from my sister's safety, Lu Shen's move is more like a bait. He deliberately pointed out a month of time, apparently hoping that we would try to recapture Heluo during this time. The problem is that the Huaizhou army will not stupidly stay in the city and wait for us to attack, and the current strength of our army is difficult to support a long-term strong attack. If things are not harmonious, it is very likely that our department and the department of the good tiger will die under Heluo City. ”

The generals were shocked.

Qing Yu Zhongwang looked around, and said: "Don't forget, at the same time that our army rushed back to Heluo, Xiao Wangzhi had also completed the full occupation of Dongyang Road, and he had the spare strength to deploy troops. If I guessed correctly, at this moment, the Huaizhou Zhenbei Army is on the way to Heluo, and there may be more than this elite. ”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lou Shuo Fangming's forehead, and he said ashamedly: "The little prince clearly sees that the last general is too simple. ”

Qing Yuzhong laughed at himself, shook his head and said: "How can I have any clear opinion, it's just that I was pitted miserably by these people in the south, and I just had a bow and a snake shadow." ”

He belittled himself by saying this, but the generals in the hall were not easy to cater to, but Qing Yuzhong hoped that he could remain calm at the moment, which made them feel a lot more at ease.

Che Muji changed the topic and asked, "Little Lord, how should our army act next?" ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang glanced at the letter paper in his hand, and said lightly: "Since Lu Shen has made a request for Huaijin's safety, then our army will temporarily withdraw to the territory of Henan Road, and separately notify Mou Lianghu to let him lead his troops to Jiangbei Road and wait for the next order." ”

The congregation should respond.

Qing Yu Zhongwang said again: "During this time, the scouts of all departments should step up their exploration of the direction of Heluo, and I want to know the detailed movements of Lu Shen and the Huaizhou army." Rest for the night tonight and return north tomorrow. ”

"Obey!"

The generals stood up in response and immediately bowed and retired.

The hall gradually fell silent.

Qing Yu Zhongwang folded Qing Yu Huaijin's handwritten letter and put it into the middle layer of his clothes.

Today, he already has a very clear feeling that the situation between Dajing and Nanqi has changed dramatically.

On the contrary, through the outstanding performance of the border armies of Huai and Jing, this century-old dynasty that almost perished fifteen years ago finally eased its strength, and once again emerged with the heritage of one hundred and fifty years.

This is obviously not good news for the big picture.

Qing Yu Zhongwang slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with cold flames.
