Chapter 004: Talent Exhibition
After nearly a month of recuperation, Qingchen's external injuries have been healed, and the internal injuries have also recovered after days of pranayama, during this period, Zhi Lanrui's poison attack once, but fortunately, Zhu Yu can also martial arts, and used internal strength to help Mu Qingchen resist the poisonous gas and swim away, so that she escaped.
Every few days, Mu Qingjue would come to Qingyi Garden to see Qingchen's condition, talk to her, and then leave. In Mu Qingjue's heart, this sister of hers has always been weak, she has been following him and Lou Xiyu since she was a child, and she has always been protected, but now, she has suddenly become so mysterious and unpredictable, which makes him a little unaccustomed.
When the rumors in the palace reached Mu Qingjue's ears, Rao was always happy and angry, and he couldn't hold his breath, so he came directly to Qingyi Yuan and had a showdown with Mu Qingchen.
"You are very capable, you can't even get out of the yard when you live here, but you have the ability to make this matter known to everyone. Mu Qingjue looked at Mu Qingchen, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"I'm wondering how long you're going to be here, and how long you're going to keep me here. Qingchen was noncommittal to Mu Qingjue's words, just said so.
"You are dead, now that the Ning Yue Dynasty is unstable, and the war is imminent, if people know that you are still alive, it will be a great disadvantage to the Heavenly Star Kingdom. Mu Qingjue said, "You are the princess of the Heavenly Star Country, you have been thinking hard in the Ningyue Country for more than a year, and you finally created this opportunity for the imperial brother, how can you bear to deprive it?"
"Brother Huang is wrong, I want to go out, it's not that I want to deprive Brother Huang of the opportunity, on the contrary, I can help Brother Huang and achieve his wish soon. Qingchen spoke, and the confidence that flashed in his eyes made Mu Qingjue stunned for a moment.
Qingchen didn't want to get involved in these worldly disputes again, but this troubled world finally started because of her, in order to subvert Ningyue's country, she did so many things, she let the southern Xinjiang start infighting, let Ningyue change the dynasty, just to destroy Ningyue Country with her own hands, and destroy this country that was once created by herself.
So, even if she wants to go into hiding, she knows that now is not a good time. Because, she still has a lot of things to do.
"You are just a woman who grew up in the deep palace, how can you help the imperial brother? Qingchen, promise the imperial brother, stay here obediently, and when the matter is over, the imperial brother will arrange all the way back for you. Mu Qingjue said.
"Why? Brother Huang denied me so quickly? Brother Huang still remember, not long after I arrived in the Ning Yue Country, the Imperial Sister-in-law once gave you a brocade box with a description of the defense of the border between the Heavenly Star Country and the Ning Moon Country?" Qingchen smiled faintly and asked.
"How did you know about this?" Mu Qingjue looked surprised.
Because Zhong Yuling told him that this thing was a conclusion she came to after studying the military books hard and thoroughly studying every battle between Ning Yue and Tianxing, which made Mu Qingjue very happy. This incident happened after Mu Qingchen went to Ningyue Kingdom, and after she returned to Tianxing Kingdom, she never saw Zhong Yuling, how could she know about it?
"Because I put the brocade box. I originally put it on the bed in the dormitory of Yuning Palace, hoping that when the imperial brother remembered me, he would go to Yuning Palace to take a look and see this thing, but I didn't expect that the imperial brother didn't see it, but was discovered by the imperial sister-in-law. Qingchen said.
"Even if what you say is true, how do you prove it?" Mu Qingjue's eyes locked tightly on Qingchen and asked.
He didn't believe it at all, he didn't believe that his sister, who had always been frail and sick, and had never even been out of the palace gate a few times, would have such a unique opinion. In his heart, Mu Qingchen may be a lot of talents, maybe gentle and virtuous, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he can be said to know nothing.
Because back then, whenever he and Lou Xiyu took Qingchen out of the palace to play, and talked about the method of arranging the formation of the march and battle, Qingchen would always sit next to him and be depressed, unable to understand, and unable to interject any words.
"I know you don't believe me, that's why I used this method to bring you in and prove it to you. Qingchen said, the smile in his eyes was even worse, and then he turned around, took out a scroll from the desk next to him, handed it to Mu Qingjue's hand, and spoke again, "Brother Huang, please take a look." ”
Mu Qingjue had doubts in his eyes, took the scroll in Qingchen's hand, and slowly unfolded it, but saw that what was drawn on the scroll turned out to be the territory map of the Tianxing Kingdom, every mountain, every river, and every city in the Tianxing Country was marked in the painting, and even how many troops there were in the Tianxing Kingdom, how many people were in each army, who led them, and where they were stationed, were also clearly written.
This thing is also in Mu Qingjue's hands, but it is not as detailed as the one painted on this map, and he is even thinking that if this map falls into the hands of the Ning Yue Kingdom or other countries, it will be a huge disaster for the Heavenly Star Country.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingjue's eyes gradually changed as she watched Mu Qingchen, becoming thoughtful, puzzled, and even a little incomprehensible, not knowing why her sister, who she had always thought she knew very well, suddenly changed so much after waking up this time.
No, it's not this time to wake up, it's more than a year ago, when she woke up in Yuning Palace, and she said that she was willing to go to Ningyue Kingdom and kiss, she had already changed.
"Brother Huang thinks, can this thing prove my ability?Can it prove that the things in the brocade box were written by me?" Qingchen saw that Mu Qingjue didn't speak, so he asked.
"Where did you get this map?" asked Mu Qingjue.
"Of course, I painted it myself, if the imperial brother doesn't believe it, you can choose a random place to test me to see if I know. Qingchen said.
In order to get out of here, in order not to let Mu Qingjue treat himself as a useless puppet and stay here for the rest of his life, Mu Qingchen has already exhausted his thoughts.
"Okay, let me ask you, how many people are in Yancheng, how many troops are there, who are the surnames of the guards, and who are the guards. Mu Qingjue put away the scroll, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, looked at Mu Qingchen, and asked.
"Yancheng is the northern city of the Celestial Star Country, located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Ningyue, Celestial Star and Mobei, it is the northernmost gateway of the Celestial Star Country, the geographical location is extremely important, and it is also a place where soldiers have always fought for it. Qingchen said slowly, a map seemed to appear in his mind, as well as those pictures of the battles, and spoke again, "Yancheng has a population of 80,000, most of them are local ordinary people, and there are also merchants from all over the Tianxing Kingdom who go to Yancheng to do business, Yancheng is too shou Su Baohua, who was personally appointed by his father, has never made a mistake in his reign for nine years, and has made remarkable achievements; Yancheng currently has an army of 120,000, led by General Shi Wuxian Shi, stationed in Yancheng. ”
"Sure enough, you put in a lot of effort, but Qingchen, you told me, when did you know this, I remember, before you got married, you were just a little girl who cared about General Lou, and the affairs of the family and country were never in your consideration. Mu Qingjue was shocked after listening to Qingchen's words.
If a man who has been walking outside all year round said this, he would naturally not be surprised, because this information can be inquired about by anyone who has been to Yancheng, or those who are interested in the national history of the Celestial Star Country can also find out from the book. But Mu Qingchen obviously does not meet these two conditions.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "The 120,000 troops in the hands of General Yancheng Shi are just on the surface, in Jiang Yanshan Liang Xu Lin, not far from Yancheng, there are also unknown 30,000 horses, led by the emperor's henchman Tianshu, that is to say, Yancheng actually has 150,000 horses. In addition, Su Baohua is deeply hidden, and it seems that there is no problem, in fact, he has been secretly dealing with Mobei, and the imperial brother put Tianshu's 30,000 horses there, just in case there is a change. ”
You continue. When Mu Qingjue heard this, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and sat down, looking like he was listening attentively, and said to Qingchen.
"Su Baohua is a piece of the emperor's heart, the emperor's brother in order to consolidate the northern gateway, the heart to get rid of him, but there is no evidence, plus Su Baohua has been in office for nine years, and he has done nothing leaky, and he has won the hearts of the people. Qingchen explained, "If the battle between Xingning and Moon is imminent today, Mobei is likely to be involved, so the imperial brother has been worried about this matter recently, I don't know if what I said is right?"
"Qingchen, I'm glad that you're just my sister. After listening to Qingchen's words, Mu Qingjue didn't have any comments, just sighed like this, shook his head, and got up to leave, leaving Qingchen with a decisive back.
Qingchen looked at Mu Qingjue's departing figure, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she knew that because of the hand she showed just now, Mu Qingjue already believed her, but it was difficult to accept this fact for a while, and it was difficult to accept that his sister, who had always been weak and well-behaved, suddenly understood so many things, and it was difficult to accept that she guessed his mind exactly right.
Therefore, what Mu Qingjue needs is a little time, and when he accepts this fact, then she will have a chance.
Since this is the case, let's give him another big gift before Mu Qingjue arrives again. Only in this way can Mu Qingjue completely believe in her ability, and only in this way can she do what she wants to do.
"Huai Jin, Hold Yu. Qingchen raised his voice and called Huai Jin and Zhan Yu outside.
"What do you command?" the two asked.
"How long will it take for my injuries to fully recover?" Qingchen turned his head to look at Huai Jin and asked.
She asked about the injury, not the poison, as long as the injury recovered, with her internal strength, if she wanted to resist the poison in those days every month, there should be no problem. Anyway, in her previous life, her martial arts could still be ranked on the rivers and lakes, there was no reason why Xiao Yi could stand it, she couldn't stand it.
"About a month. The girl's arrow wound was almost healed, but the recovery from the internal injury was slower. The girl's martial arts skills have to be hidden from the emperor, so I have never dared to change the prescription, for fear that the emperor will see the clues. Without the assistance of medicinal herbs, the healing of this injury will naturally be slow. Huai Jin said.
"Don't get in the way, it's just a month, doesn't it take ten days and a half to brew green apricot wine?" Qingchen shook his head slightly, as if he didn't care.
