Chapter 305: Just in Case
Tongyang Zhaoguo Mansion.

Early in the morning, Yanling wandered to the front hall.

Yan Cheng was already at work, and he had cleaned up the recent affairs one by one. He had just come to an end when he saw Yan Ling looking outside again.

He looked amused, and waved: "What are you doing sneakily? Come in and tell me something!"

Yanling smiled, and waved at his elder brother: "It's okay, I'll just take a walk here, brother, you are busy with your work."

"Are you all right? Who are you fooling! Be more honest, or I will drive you back!"

Yanling had no choice but to move in slowly, and said, "I'll just see when Lao Zhuang comes..."

The intelligence of Zhao Guogong's mansion is collected every day, and the person who runs the errands is called Lao Zhuang.Yan Cheng's thoughts changed and he understood: "Are you waiting for Miss Xu San's letter?"

Yanling chuckled and agreed.

Yan Cheng was angry and funny: "If you want to wait, just come in and wait openly, as if someone is stopping you."

Yan Ling's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Brother, don't you scold me?"

"What do you scold you for?"

"I didn't even go to the barracks, and I haven't been doing business since I've been back for so many days..."

"You still know?" Yan Cheng was surprised, "It's really not easy."

"Big brother!"

Yan Cheng laughed, waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, I told my father, you finally came back, you can rest for a while if you want, anyway, there is nothing important recently."

Hearing what he said, Yan Ling finally felt relieved, ordered some refreshments from the servant, and chatted with her elder brother while eating and drinking.

"Brother, you're getting married next month, are you nervous?"

"What's there to be nervous about? It's been two years since we got married. If it wasn't for the unstable situation before, we should have gotten married long ago."

"But I feel very nervous when I think about it! Once you get married, it will be different from now! Someone will share your life, wake up in the morning and see her in front of you, and ask you what you want to eat when you eat, Someone waiting for you when you go home, someone to share everything about your life..."

Yan Chengchu was dazed in a daze, and seeing Yan Ling talking more and more intoxicated, he quickly laughed narrowly and interrupted him: "Yan Xiaoer, calm down a bit, your saliva is dripping!"

Yan Ling wiped it intuitively, but found that there was no saliva, and became angry from embarrassment: "Brother!"

The two brothers were arguing, and the boy outside came to report: "Old Zhuang is here."

Yan Ling hurriedly let go of her hand, and looked helplessly at the old servant who came in.

"Eldest son, second son." Lao Zhuang opened the big box in his hand, and quickly took out stacks of documents, "This is from the north, this is from the south, and this is from the capital..."

Yan Ling couldn't wait to ask: "Do you have a letter? My letter!"

Lao Zhuang is very used to it. He was intercepted by the second son to ask for letters when he entered the door in the past few days, and then he took out a stack of letters from the bottom.

"Yes, this is yours."

Yan Ling took it, flipped through it quickly, and immediately raised the corner of her mouth.

Yan Cheng knew at a glance that he had arrived, so he pointed to the cubicle: "I still need to be a director, you go to the side and take a look."

Yan Ling happily responded, and carried the stack of letters into the cubicle.

He was the first to read Xu Yin's letter.

The handwriting of this letter is flat, and the flower paper used is different from usual. It should be written by her when she went home.In the letter, he first reported his safety, then he talked about the things on the way, and the happy event of his sister's upcoming engagement, and finally mentioned that he met Jiang Yue before leaving Beijing, reminding him to be careful.

The corners of Yan Ling's mouth were raised all the time, and he looked back and forth several times before putting down the letter paper and picking up the other ones.

These few letters were written from the capital. He stayed in the capital for more than half a year, and some of them were his personal confidantes, who would write letters from time to time to ask for their safety.

Yanling didn't pay attention at first, but after reading a few letters, his expression gradually became serious.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Yan Cheng sent Lao Zhuang away, he raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw Yan Ling walking out quickly, handing over a letter: "Look at this, I always feel that something is wrong!"

Yan Cheng took it over and took a look: "Jiang Yi sent his disciples to Beijing, and gave gifts in large quantities...is this normal? Jiang Yi is a fine person, he is far away in Jiangbei, and if he wants to keep his position in His Majesty's heart, he must He will be buying his close ministers so that he can speak for him."

"Yes," Yan Ling did not deny this, "but do you think Jiang Yue's various behaviors are too ostentatious? Jiang Yi is very measured. He had a friend with Zhang Huaide before, but he acted very low-key. His Majesty sent someone to check In Lu'er Lane, there is no evidence of him taking bribes. Why is he so high-profile now? It doesn't suit his temperament."

Yan Cheng thought for a while: "You are right. Your Majesty regards Jiang Yi as his confidant, and he will not like him making friends with courtiers."

Yanling nodded again and again: "So I think he has another purpose."

Yan Cheng thought: "What does he want to do? Yu Chong is dead, and the position of General is still vacant. Could it be that he wants to be transferred back to the capital?"

"Impossible!" Yanling vetoed it without hesitation, "He is now the governor of Jiangbei, the emperor is far away from the mountains, and he holds military and political power in his hands. How could he want to return to the capital? Although the general is mighty, he is inferior in terms of real power. Minute."

Yan Cheng tried to think about it for a while. If it was him, he would definitely not give up such a piece of fat in Jiangbei, so he agreed with him: "Once he changed his style of behavior, he didn't even care about arousing His Majesty's taboo. It seems that the plan is not small. .Let’s go, let’s go find father, this matter must be taken seriously.”

The two brothers immediately went to the meeting hall and reported the matter to Duke Zhao.

As soon as Duke Zhao heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and said, "Quickly, rectify the troops and horses, hurry to Rongguan, and guard the gate."

Rongguan is the main road from Guanzhong to Gyeonggi, Yan Cheng was shocked: "Father, do you think you will use weapons?"

Duke Zhao nodded: "It's not Jiang Yi's style to be so unscrupulous. What happens next may break the pattern. Yu Chong just died, and the defense of Beijing is weak. We have to guard against it."

Yan Cheng felt that it was too serious, Jiang Yi would not want to take this opportunity to coerce the emperor to make the princes?He is in Jiangbei, separated by Qi County and Yuzhou!

But when he said this, Yan Ling immediately said: "Brother, you don't have to lead the soldiers from Jiangbei to fight, do you remember? Jiang Yi also went out from the imperial army. Before he left Beijing, he was also Yu Chong. Now that Yu Chong is dead, Jiang Yi can completely link up with his old troops. He will not give up in Jiangbei, but it does not mean that he has no plans for the imperial army."

Duke Zhao nodded in agreement: "We'd rather be on guard so as not to be caught off guard."

Yan Cheng silently nodded.

Perhaps it was because he didn't lead soldiers, and his military acumen was never as sharp as that of his younger brother, but he believed in his father's judgment.

"How many soldiers and horses should be summoned? Who will lead the troops?"

Duke Zhao was still thinking about it, but Yan Ling volunteered: "I'll go!"

"Little two..."

"I've been home for so long, and I've been idle and not working." Yan Ling apologized to her elder brother, "Brother's wedding is coming soon, it's important to prepare for the wedding first, and leave this to me!"
