Chapter 119: Counting is Counting
A few months later, Shen Lingxi saw Tuoba Jun again in the Pingbei General Mansion in Jianye City, but this time Shen Lingxi felt that his undercover mission was coming to an end.
After this fierce war, Jianye, the capital of the Xuanwu Kingdom, was beaten to pieces, and the forbidden army and the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion suffered heavy losses.
This result is what Shen Lingxi wants to see, to this point, Shen Lingxi feels that whether it is the danger he has experienced, or the deception, it is really not easy to achieve his ideas, and there is also an element of luck.
When facing the general of Pingbei again, Shen Lingxi's mentality changed, and now the goal of greatly hurting the national strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom has been achieved.
And it is obvious that the man in front of him, the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun will become the new emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and compared with the current Emperor Tuoba Tian of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei is in the prime of life without his age, and he surpasses the current emperor Tuoba Tian much in character and ability.
Most of the reason why the Xuanwu Kingdom has today's chaos is because Emperor Tuoba Tian is a puppet emperor, and he is the kind of monarch who only knows how to enjoy a luxurious life and has no lofty ambitions.
And most of the strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom is due to Prime Minister Li Cheng, as well as capable generals such as Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, and even the balancing role played by Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.
However, now that Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has been completely exiled, and Prime Minister Li Cheng has also become the lamb to be slaughtered by Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, and the balance of the court of Xuanwu State has been broken.
If a mediocre monarch like Tuoba Tian continued to be the emperor, Shen Lingxi could be sure that if the Xuanwu Kingdom wanted to recover its national strength from this rebellion, it would be difficult to give Tuoba Tian ten years, and it might make the Xuanwu Kingdom even more decaying.
And if Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei who has great ability and ambition, becomes the emperor, then Shen Lingxi can imagine that in three or five years, a powerful and highly offensive Xuanwu State will rise again.
What Shen Lingxi has to do now is to prevent Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, from becoming the new emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom.
At least Shen Lingxi felt that the chaos in the Xuanwu Kingdom had ended perfectly for him, and now the main opponent was this stepfather Tuoba Jun, who had always been good to him.
After all, it is a fake Yuwenlong, and Shen Lingxi is a daughter, as long as one of these two things is discovered by Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, Shen Lingxi will expose himself as a fake Yuwenlong.
So even if the general of Pingbei University, Tuoba Jun, has loved Shen Lingxi in every way in recent years, and even sometimes Shen Lingxi feels that Tuoba Jun really treats himself as his child.
But Shen Lingxi knows very well that Tuoba Jun's love, care and tolerance for himself is actually for the real Yuwenlong, not Shen Lingxi himself.
So even if he felt a little guilty in his heart, Shen Lingxi never thought about staying by Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, all the time, even if Tuoba Jun really regarded himself as his own.
Because as time goes by, I always have to grow up, I want to get married, I have to marry a wife, and maybe I have to have children under the urging of Tuoba Jun.
Shen Lingxi feels that she is a girl's thing, as time goes by, this secret will be exposed one day, and when the time comes, Tuoba Jun, who looks amiable and cares about herself, will immediately change her face, and how much she loves herself when she loves herself, how much she hates herself.
It is conceivable that on the day when his identity is revealed, what a tragic end Shen Lingxi will suffer.
People are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, not to mention that Shen Lingxi and the general of Pingbei University, Tuoba Jun, are enemies, yes, no matter how good Tuoba Jun is to Shen Lingxi, Shen Lingxi clearly knows that Tuoba Jun is the most dangerous enemy.
So this time, Shen Lingxi behaved much colder when he faced the general of Pingbei, Tuoba Jun, and asked for warmth and care.
"Father-in-law, I haven't done much during this time, mainly because I'm fleeing. It was still Wangcai and a few of them who discovered the abnormality of the forbidden army, so they took the initiative to ask to come and report to their father-in-law. Speaking of which, I really didn't do anything, but I am afraid that Laifu and Xiaoqiang have sacrificed, and Wangcai, he has sacrificed his life several times to get to where he is today. Therefore, the father-in-law should reward the wealth, and the families of Laifu and Xiaoqiang also need heavy pensions. ”
Shen Lingxi was very cold in the face of the concern of Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, which made Tuoba Jun a little surprised.
But I think it may be that after experiencing this tragic war, his righteous son Yuwenlong has become so indifferent.
"Okay, then you can rest in the mansion. During this time, my son will relax his mood, my father-in-law will soon be able to ascend the throne, and when the time comes, how about my father-in-law give you a general? haha!"
Tuoba Jun felt that Shen Lingxi might not have recovered from the tragic war scene, so he promised to give Shen Lingxi a position as a general, hoping to make Shen Lingxi happy.
However, seeing that Shen Lingxi still didn't have a smile, Tuoba Jun could only sigh and leave.
Looking at the back of Tuoba Jun leaving, Shen Lingxi was thinking about how to make Tuoba Jun unable to be the emperor.
Of course, now in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, only the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun has the strongest prestige and strength, so if you don't let Tuoba Jun be the emperor, this difficulty is really not small.
Although Shen Lingxi is the major general of the Pingbei General's Mansion in front of outsiders, and now it can be said that the entire Xuanwu Kingdom is above 10,000 people, but Shen Lingxi really doesn't want her current status, especially in the Xuanwu Kingdom, after all, she is the crown prince of the Feng Kingdom, and the only orthodox heir of the Feng Kingdom's royal family.
With such and such concerns in his heart, Shen Lingxi didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to end all this.
Seeing Tuoba Jun leaving, it was rare for Shen Lingxi to think about these troublesome things all the time.
She felt that since she didn't have a specific idea now, she still asked Uncle Lin Feng and Cheap Niang, maybe they would come up with an idea for herself.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has been cleaned up once by the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion, and Lin Feng and Lian Niang have not been found.
Of course, Shen Lingxi knew that with Lin Feng and Lian Niang's skills, there were not many people in the entire Jianye City who could keep them, so as long as the identities of the two of them were not exposed, it would be very easy to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion without being caught by the soldiers of the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Regarding the safety of Lin Feng and Cheap Niang, Shen Lingxi is not very worried now, after all, Lin Feng can escape with himself from the pursuit of thousands of secret guards in Feng Kingdom, not to mention that there is no one in Jianye City who wants to arrest them.
After a few days, when Jianye City gradually recovered from the war, Shen Lingxi was in the mood to go out.
Because the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun seemed to feel that he was frightened by this tragic war that day, Shen Lingxi pretended to be depressed for a few days in the Pingbei General's Mansion.
After the remnants of the forbidden army in Jianye City basically surrendered, and the entire Jianye City was under the control of the Pingbei General Mansion, the common people gradually began to resume their daily lives.
For the common people, how the people above call around, who sits on the throne, who is the prime minister, these things actually have little to do with themselves, as long as there is a safe living environment, they will continue to live their daily life strongly.
Yes, within a few days, the ruins of the destroyed houses in Jianye City were cleared, and the corpses scattered on the streets were also buried outside the city, and everything seemed to return to normal.
People have also begun to resume their daily lives, and the damaged shops have been renovated and opened, and the small vendors who should have set up their stalls continue to set up their stalls.
Shen Lingxi didn't bring Wangcai this day, so he left the Pingbei General's Mansion alone.
Originally, Wangcai, the only survivor, wanted to follow Shen Lingxi to protect him, but after all, Wangcai was injured that day while fighting with more than a dozen forbidden soldiers.
So Shen Lingxi forcibly ordered Wangcai to recuperate in the mansion and go out to hang out alone.
Now the entire Jianye City is the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, and there are soldiers from the Pingbei General Mansion patrolling the streets at any time, so as the major general of the Pingbei General Mansion, Shen Lingxi is now the number two person in the entire Jianye City, and of course he will soon be the number two person in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom.
Of course, Shen Lingxi is still very safe to go out, at least most of the people who didn't know Shen Lingxi before now deliberately want to make friends with Shen Lingxi, and the ordinary soldiers of the Pingbei General's Mansion are even more inquiring around, wanting to know what Shen Lingxi, the young general, looks like.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Lingxi walked out of the gate of the Pingbei General's Mansion, he was recognized by many people.
A patrol squad leader who happened to patrol past the door also deliberately ran over to ask Shen Lingxi if he needed to open the road on the quiet street.
made Shen Lingxi a little crying and laughing, after sending away this diligent guy, Shen Lingxi also realized that his current identity and status were already a figure in the center of power in the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Feeling that the crown prince of the Feng Kingdom was not recognized by his own country, but instead became a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the enemy country, thinking about it, Shen Lingxi felt that this was really a bit ironic.
Without thinking about it so much, Shen Lingxi just looked east and west, and naturally came to the tea shop that he had agreed with Uncle Lin Feng and sat down.
I ordered a few pastries that I usually like to order here, and then ordered a pot of tea, and sat here to enjoy tea and bask in the sun.
Shen Lingxi didn't expect Uncle Lin Feng and Cheap Lady to appear immediately at this sensitive time, she came here today mainly to show her attitude of wanting to meet Uncle Lin Feng.
After sitting for a while, what Shen Lingxi didn't expect was that Uncle Lin Feng and Cheap Niang still held hands, making a team of loving couples and slowly walked to this tea stall and sat down.
As usual, Lin Feng and the cheap lady Shen Ziyan sat in the seats next to Shen Lingxi, and they ordered a few snacks and a pot of tea.
After the guy who served the tea left, Lin Feng took the initiative to ask: "How is it, Your Highness has been okay lately? When Jianye City was broken that day, the chaos in the city did not affect His Highness!"
Although Shen Lingxi didn't look injured at all, Lin Feng was still worried about Shen Lingxi's safety these days, so he asked Shen Lingxi about his safety in the first sentence of the meeting.
Shen Lingxi was still very moved by Lin Feng's concern for him as soon as he came, and felt that the world really only had Lin Feng and his cheap mother to him.
"Oh, Uncle Lin Feng, I'm fine. I came out of the Pingbei General Mansion before the city was broken, so Prime Minister Li Cheng didn't find me in the Pingbei General Mansion that day! What about you, how did you escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Shen Lingxi said that he had escaped from the Pingbei General Mansion in advance, and now although he saw that Lin Feng and Lian Niang did not look injured, he couldn't help but want to ask about their experiences.
"Your Highness, rest assured, my being a guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion is just an expedient measure, and after I found out that the forbidden army was gone, I escaped with Zi Yan. In fact, as long as the two of us are not surrounded by a large army, it is not so easy to keep us. ”
Hearing Lin Feng say this, Shen Lingxi thought about it, so he hurriedly seized the time to tell Lin Feng the purpose of coming here today.
Shen Lingxi felt that his situation was more complicated now, and he couldn't let Pingbei General Tuoba Jun control the power of Xuanwu Kingdom, which was very clear, but what to do, or how to prevent Pingbei General Tuoba Jun from ascending to the throne, this Shen Lingxi had no way at all now.
Shen Lingxi is an existence above 10,000 people under one person in the eyes of everyone, but Shen Lingxi knows that her current status and power in the Xuanwu Kingdom are actually from the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun.
If Tuoba Jun turns around to deal with Shen Lingxi, then everything he has now will collapse immediately, and even his life may not be saved.
So now Shen Lingxi looks beautiful, but in fact she is in danger, because she wants to deal with Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei.
"Uncle Lin Feng, Tuoba Jun is about to let Prime Minister Li Cheng abolish the current emperor Tuoba Tian, and will soon support him to ascend to the throne of Xuanwu Kingdom, if Tuoba Jun sits firmly on the throne of Xuanwu Kingdom, then Feng Kingdom will be very dangerous. What should I do now?"
Asking this question, Shen Lingxi has been thinking about it for a long time, and now he wants to prevent the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun from ascending to the throne, but this idea depends on Shen Lingxi himself, and now it seems very unrealistic.
So the only people Shen Lingxi can ask about now are Lin Feng and Shen Ziyan, the cheap mother-in-law.
"Your Highness, I think it is already an unstoppable thing for General Tuoba Jun of Pingbei to ascend to the throne. And this is also the wish of all the people who have delegated power in the Xuanwu Kingdom now, it can be said that after defeating Prime Minister Li Cheng, the general of Pingbei Tuobajun is the desire of the people. So if we want to prevent the general of Pingbei from ascending to the throne, it seems that there is nothing possible. ”
After Lin Feng said this, he saw that Shen Lingxi was a little lonely, so he smiled and continued: "Your Highness don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure here, let's not go to the plan, let the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun ascend the throne, and then His Highness will get power as much as possible, if His Highness can use the strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom to restore his identity as the crown prince of the Feng Kingdom, this is not a solution!"
