Chapter 47: Strange Questions
Cheng Shui did not go home.
Ignoring the worries and admonitions of the two sisters, she turned around and went to Qingsong Lane.
It was another difficult time to move forward, and by the time I got to Wufuzi, my shoes and socks were covered with mud.
She raised her hand and slammed the door herself, "Bell, bell, bell." ”
......
On the other side, several soldiers were making a report.
"General! The corpse was investigated, and it was indeed a Hun soldier, but ......" The soldier hesitated.
Yan Xiangming's cold eyes swept over, and the latter was excited, and hurriedly said: "However, the wounds on the Hun soldiers' bodies are not like the wounds of the blades in the hands of officers and soldiers, it may be that they have taken the merits of taking the lead." ”
The former frowned, his eyes sharp: "What weapon was injured?" ”
"It could be a dagger."
The soldier touched his nose and didn't know what the general was asking for this.
Yan Xiangming suddenly thought of something, "Send someone to Zhaojia Village to check on the father and son!" ”
"Yes, General!"
......
The wind and snow outside the house are getting deeper, and the charcoal fire inside the house is bright.
The table by the window was transferred to the kang table.
Wu Fuzi nestled leisurely to the side, and from time to time twisted a candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
borrowed a place to take care of his own Cheng Shui, and sat on the kang on the other side to warm his body. couldn't help but complain: "It's easy to spoil your teeth when you eat candied fruit, so be careful." ”
Wu Fuzi didn't care, and Quan Dang didn't hear it. But when I remembered the embarrassment I saw just now, I couldn't help it: "It's easy to get cold when you play in the snow, and I don't see you being careful." ”
"Whoever plays in the snow, I'm walking on it." Cheng Shui was helpless.
"What kind of urgency is that, so that the Li family master is so immersive."
When it came to business, Cheng Shui narrowed his eyes and took a sip of hot tea, but he didn't expect to hit a spirit, and he was really cold.
Seeing that she was silent, Wu Fuzi seemed to be aware, "It seems that something really happened." ”
"Naturally, nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace. There is no big event, how dare you disturb Wu Fuzi's leisure. Cheng Shui opened his mouth, first complimented him twice, and only then said when he saw that the person on the other side had lowered his vigilance again: "I don't know how much Wu Fuzi knows about Lai'an City?" ”
Yes, thinking about it, Cheng Shui felt that there were few people around him who could talk about the situation of the soldiers and horses in each city, and Li Sandao might know some; Xu Ci learned from Wu Fuzi; Not to mention the others, only Wu Fuzi is very well-known and knowledgeable, or can discuss a thing or two.
"Oh—you mean to ask, the people of Ryan City? Or the soldiers and horses of Ryan City? Wu Fuzi is very keen, and judging from Cheng Shui's words and deeds, she is not chatting about things.
Of course, Cheng Shui didn't want to hide it, except for the ordinary people of Shilong Town. Other sober-minded people who live here can find out that the main movement of people in the town, the number of guards in the iron mines, weapon manufacturing, and the expansion of the Li family.
The reason why it didn't attract attention was because of the rebellion of the displaced people, which let everyone know that force was necessary, and the head of the Li family recruited troops to protect the people of Shilong Town.
Wu Fuzi felt the same as everyone at first, but when he heard Cheng Shui's question today, he couldn't help but think deeply.
Seeing that the other party was so keen and direct, Cheng Shui lazily sold off: "My person got a message, I don't know if it's true or not, and I want to ask Mr. for advice." ”
"Is it possible for the Huns to attack Lai'an City?"
"When?" Wu Fuzi was surprised and asked subconsciously.
"Don't you first suspect the truth or the fake?" Cheng Shui meant something.
"As far as I know, without your news, then it is uncertain. Since there is news from you, even if it is a hint of rumor, it may be accurate. ”
Putting down the candied fruit in his hand, Wu Fuzi was completely out of mood.
"The rebel army is just standing, civil strife is about to happen, how can foreigners have the reason to watch, they must take advantage of the danger of others, take advantage of the situation to enter, the world is in danger!"
"According to Wu Fuzi, Ryan is afraid that this will happen. So, I want to know how the strength of the city of Ryan is? Can it be worth a king? Can you resist the two kings? ”
Cheng Shui's eyes were burning, and the last two sentences almost finished the predicament that Lai'an City was going to face.
Wu Fuzi got up and paced indoors, because the charcoal fire was sufficient, and the hot kang in the new house was also a good thing, he was not afraid of the cold, and the clothes he was wearing were still autumn, and not only him, this year's winter, the people of the entire Shilong Town had a warm and prosperous year.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the old woman, only to see that she was dressed in a blue curly robe, with a wooden hairpin in her hair, holding a teacup in both hands, and sipping with her head down.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ambitious politician.
But such an old woman, who has done a lot of things that a man should do, and has assumed a lot of responsibilities that court officials should bear, how to deal with the crossbow arrows of a strong army?
It's better to be ashamed, his first reaction is how to retreat!
Finally sat down again, and he spoke: "The Taishou Shen Zheng of Lai'an City is over half a hundred years old, and he has no merit, but fortunately, he is self-aware and never interferes in the affairs of the military department, and the power to defend Lai'an City is in the hands of General Yan Xiangming. ”
"This Yan Xiangming was originally the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and he fought in all directions in his early years, and it took less than ten years to become a general who defended the city from a flat-headed general. This son is brave and good at fighting, upright, and the first emperor also loved him very much, and once praised him in public, promising him to choose all the military generals. But he was neither humble nor arrogant, he only said that he was willing to garrison the border for the country, and with him one day, he would never let the Huns step into the Dajing Dynasty half a step! ”
After talking about the origin of the two, he spoke again: "If the Huns come to attack, with the garrison of Lai'an City and the wisdom of General Yan, even if the two kings join forces, they may not be able to break through, and the head of the family can rest assured!" With that, he picked up the teacup and drank it down.
Cheng Shui's eyebrows were entangled, and he thought for a while before asking: "Although I am presumptuous, I still want to ask, with the power of the master's insight, can this Yan Xiangming's loyalty to the Great Jing Dynasty be guaranteed?" ”
"What do you mean!"
Hearing this, Wu Fuzi was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, slammed the wine glass on the table, and stared at the old woman angrily.
"I'm just trying to judge how likely it is that Lean City will be lost." She said calmly.
"Impossible! Your speculation is not just doubting the character of a general! It is even more to deny the faith of all the soldiers in the city of Ryan! ”
Cheng Shui was helpless for a while, she couldn't explain, she didn't suspect General Yan of fornicating with the Huns. I just want to judge according to Yan Xiangming's loyalty to the Dajing Dynasty, whether he will surrender to the rebel army.
Seeing that Wu Fuzi was getting more and more angry, she had to give up the idea of drilling into the loopholes in the book and raised another more realistic question.
"This General Yan, you said that he is the son of the original military department Shangshu, so is there still someone in the court who is still in the court?"
However, the person on the other side seemed to be petty and didn't want to answer her question.
Cheng Shui pursed his lips and poured him a new cup of tea.
This time he had no choice but to change to Wu Fuzi, feeling her cautiousness, he had to speak: "He has no brothers and sisters in his family, and his father also resigned early and retired to the mountains and forests, but his mother seems to be at odds with his father, and now lives in the mansion of his maternal grandfather, Taiwei Wen." ”
Cheng Shui was stunned: "Is he on a better relationship with his father or his mother?" ”
It feels like the topic is a bit off-topic.
Wu Fuzi said angrily: "How can outsiders know about this person's family affairs!" "Ask weird questions.
