No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 321 Snow Cliff's Hole Card (Part [-])
Seeing Xie Yan come in, Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan were startled.

Luo Jinyan bowed his hands to meet the ceremony, and asked, "My lord is here, is there any new news about the case of King Ning?"

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "No, news from Nanjiang."

Hearing this, Luo Jinyan was also shocked, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.At this moment, the morning court should have just come, and Xie Yan could come to the dungeon in person at this time, so it can be seen that the matter is indeed not small.

"My lord wants to see Xueya now?" Luo Jinyan asked.

Xie Yan nodded lightly, Luo Jinyan didn't say much, just said: "I'll bring someone here." After speaking, he turned and walked away quickly.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Luo Junyao knew something important was going on, so he leaned over to Xie Yan and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Xie Yan stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any big trouble for a while." Luo Junyao looked at him and said nothing, if he really didn't need to worry, Xie Yan wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Xie Yan also knew that he couldn't fool her, so he sighed lightly and said, "Southern Xinjiang is really in chaos, and it won't be able to threaten the mainland for a while. I intend to let Marquis Lingchuan go over to see the situation first. It’s best to be appeased, if not, the chaos will be contained in the southern border, and they will not be allowed to go beyond Huaizhou. Wait until the matters in the southwest are settled properly, and then take care of them.”

Luo Jun shook his head, and he knew he knew what he said, "That's good, there are so many things, there is no time to stop."

Xie Yan also smiled helplessly. Such a big country has passed to the third emperor just 30 years after its founding.In just a few years, it experienced two clan rebellions.As for the fighting at the border, it never stopped.

Luo Jinyan quickly brought Xueya from the prison cell to the interrogation room. It was still a familiar place, but there were two more people.

Xue Ya looked at Xie Yan and Luo Junyao who were sitting behind the table with great interest, and Luo Jinyan who was sitting next to him, his handsome face was full of interest, "It seems that the news from the court is faster than I expected, Regent Did the king come here in person to ask about Nanjiang?"

Xie Yan said calmly: "Yang Ting, the comfort envoy of Southern Xinjiang, what did you do to him?"

Xue Ya smiled and said: "Yang Ting...he is the late emperor's confidant, we really can't do anything to him."

"Really?" Xie Yan said lightly, obviously not believing it at all.

Xue Ya said: "Although we can't do anything to him, he is not the only one who is the envoy of Xuanwei, his deputy envoys, envoys of Xuanfu, are all of them loyal to the imperial court? What's more, At the beginning, Yang Ting went to the barbaric land in southern Xinjiang because of his loyalty to Gaozu and the late emperor, but he was left there for nearly ten years and no one took care of him. He was considered loyal if he refused to betray the court. Could it be that the regent expects him to continue to work hard? To serve the imperial court?"

Xie Yan was unmoved by Xue Ya's ridicule, and said indifferently: "Master Xue Ya thinks this kind of thing can threaten the king?"

Xue Ya said: "Then it depends on what the regent thinks."

Xie Yan said: "The tribes in southern Xinjiang have always refused to accept the teachings of the Central Plains. It is not impossible if they are provoked by others. But... Mr. Xueya thinks, how long does it take for them to threaten Huaizhou?"

The Central Plains dynasty did not have strong control over southern Xinjiang, but it is precisely because of this that the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties paid great attention to the division of southern Xinjiang.It is almost impossible to challenge the Central Plains Dynasty with only one or a few tribes.

Even if a strong man who can integrate the various ministries suddenly appeared in southern Xinjiang, it would not be possible to do it in a short time.

Xue Ya sighed and said: "The regent is calm when things happen, I admire you. However, I divided Luan Yisi into two at the beginning, just to prevent the capital's plan from being completely defeated by the imperial court. How can you break the situation so easily now? Luanyi Si can help King Ning plan to fight against the Yulin Army and the Wuwei Army, and now the prince thinks that the Huaizhou garrison is still credible?"

Xie Yan said: "Then I can't let you go."

Xue Ya sneered, obviously thinking that Xie Yan was bluffing.

Since Yisi Luan has the heart to conspire to conquer the world, he certainly knows that the imperial court absolutely does not have the strength to start another war now.

Xie Yan ignored him, turned his head to Luo Jin who was sitting next to him and said: "Please invite Mr. Ruan to the cell of No. A, and besides... how about Mr. Xueya?"

Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately said, "Fortunately, it's very quiet. Besides reading, I just write."

Xie Yan nodded, looked back at Xueya with a gloomy expression, and said, "You seem to have forgotten that this king has more than one Xueya in his hand."

Xue Ya stared at Xie Yan coldly, "I advise the prince not to be smart, otherwise you will regret it."

Xie Yan stood up and said, "Young Master Xueya may have misjudged the importance and strength of Southern Border. Unless they can beat Lingnan within a year, they are not a threat to me."

After finishing speaking, Xie Yan pulled Luo Junyao out.

Before leaving, he just left a faint sentence, "From today on, no one is allowed to see him without my king's written order."

"Yes, my lord." Luo Jinyan replied behind him.

After leaving the dungeon, Xie Yan's expression was still a little gloomy.

Luo Junyao sized him up and said, "Are you still angry? Because of Xueya?"

Xie Yan smiled at her, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows and said, "It's just that there are too many things, I don't really like things that are beyond my control."

Luo Jun shook his head, "I see."

Xie Yan's temper is not bad, even considered good among the superiors.He can hardly control his tantrums, nor will he take the anger out on his subordinates because of sudden unhappiness.But he dislikes unexpected events that are out of his control.

During the period of returning to the capital, all kinds of things seemed to be in a mess, but if you look carefully, you will find that Xie Yan still acts with ease, which shows that these things are more or less in his expectation.

The incident in southern Xinjiang is probably a real emergency.

Xie Yan hastily ended the confrontation with the Qi people because Dasheng could no longer fight.It's not that you can't win, but that you can't.What's the point if you beat your opponent and end up falling apart yourself?
If there is no accident, Dasheng will not plan to use foreign troops for three to five years, but the imperial court can't really ignore the sudden commotion in southern Xinjiang.

"Are you serious about what you said to Xueya just now?" Luo Junyao asked curiously, "I think..." It's a little unreliable.

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "Just saying it casually, that person can use it occasionally, but if he wants to use it for a long time, I'm afraid he can't."

Although the two people look exactly the same, they feel very different.Moreover, that person obviously has no intention of serving the imperial court. Before finding his fatal weakness, if he is allowed to contact with the remnants of Yisi Luan, something may go wrong.

Xie Yan would not think that a person who grew up in a place like Luan Yisi would really be a harmless little sheep.

"The Marquis of Lingchuan should take over the job of the new Southern Xinjiang Propaganda Envoy. Jiang He, the governor of Huaizhou, I have dealt with in the early years and is a capable person. With the two of them here, I will send another general who can fight. , there will be no major problems in southern Xinjiang for a while." Xie Yan said.

"But before the attitude of that comforter Yang Xuan is determined, will there be no problem if you send another one over there?" Luo Junyao asked.

Xie Yan said: "The Marquis of Lingchuan will bring two copies of the imperial edict, and which one to use depends on the specific situation at that time."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you have a plan in mind, you don't have to worry about it. Now the northwest and the north are relatively stable, even if something happens, with you and my dad around, it won't be a big deal."

"Yao Yao is right, don't worry." Xie Yan said: "I have to go back to the palace, you..."

"I'm going to see my father." Luo Jun waved his hand to express that he would not enter the palace with him, Xie Yan was going to work in the palace, what was she going to do?She had been staying in the palace for the past few days, and she was almost depressed.

Xie Yan said: "Okay, be careful not to run around."

"Do not worry."

After parting with Xie Yan, Luo Junyao took Qin Yao'er and Ling Lan to the outside of the city slowly.

Luo Yun fell into a coma for nearly ten days, and when he woke up, he found that the city of Shangyonghuang had been turned upside down.Luo Jin said that Luo Jinxing was so busy, Yu Mingqiu had to work with his injuries, and Luo Yun naturally couldn't be lazy.In the past few days, he has been in the army outside the city every day, so it can be seen that the thousand day drunk did not cause any harm to him.

The three left the city and headed all the way to the Dingguo Army camp outside the city.

There seemed to be a lot fewer people on the road outside the city, but there were signs of soldiers and horses stationed in the distance.The three of them rode their horses all the way, and they didn't meet a single person after walking halfway.

"Is the way in and out of the city so bleak?" Qin Yao'er couldn't help but ask.

Linglan said: "It's not peaceful outside the city now. I heard that the second son has brought people to station in the mountains these days to clean up the underground palace. There are also those who conspired against the rebels, and there are still remnants at large. Anlan Academy is closed It's been a few days."

Luo Junyao had met Zhang Jingyu at the funeral of Empress Dowager Zhu in Tiangong a few days ago, and he also knew that Anlan College had no classes these days.

After all, Anlan Academy is outside the city, and it is not yet completely safe, and the Academy dare not let these ladies from all over the world go back and forth between the city and the city every day.

Luo Junyao played with the rein in his hand, thinking: "Is the entrance of the underground palace far from our place?"

Linglan was taken aback, "Princess, do you want to go? Absolutely not."

"Why not?"

Linglan said: "I heard that it is in the deep mountains, the second son went in with soldiers and horses, and he couldn't get out for two or three days. Even if you go, I'm afraid you won't see anything. If you encounter any danger..."

Luo Junyao thought for a while, and said: "That's right, we can enter through the entrance of Mingyin Pavilion. It shouldn't take much time to clean both sides together."

Linglan sighed in her heart, her princess is good at everything, but she is too curious and too courageous.

Before Linglan could think of an excuse to stop Luo Junyao from exploring, Luo Junyao, who was one step ahead of them, suddenly pulled the reins.

"Princess, why..." She stopped before she finished speaking, and looked not far ahead vigilantly.

Luo Junyao sighed and said, "Look, even if we don't go to dangerous places, danger will still come to us."

"..." Concubine, if you stay in the mansion well and don't go out, what danger would you dare to come to your door?

　What's the second in the afternoon~
