Biography of Qingwu

Chapter 68 Zhuzhou
When it was getting late, King Anjing wrote back saying that it was right, and Chen Qingwu wrote, I miss you very much.Quietly tied to the legs of the carrier pigeon, quietly let go.

For the whole night after that, Chen Qingwu couldn't sleep, and went out from time to time to see if the carrier pigeon had flown back, and if King Anjing had responded to her.

But in the end, after waiting for nothing, King Anjing didn't reply. Chen Qingwu felt a little lost, and only fell asleep when the sky was light.

She spent the whole night scratching her head, thinking that he would respond, but she didn't wait all night, and it was the first time she had such a feeling, caring about a person so much, she would be happy to see him, but she would be happy if she didn't see him Uneasy, if you don't get a response, you will feel sore in your heart, empty, and go to sleep with loss, and you will sleep uneasy.

On this side, the Hundred Thousand Jicheng Army led by Pei Yi has been stationed in Zhuzhou City for a day, and finally received the news that the Marquis of Wei led the army to go out. There are only [-] city guards and [-] forbidden troops, and the defense of the imperial city is already empty.

Huo Xin heard the report, and said happily: "In this way, the defense of the imperial city is empty, and the Marquis of Wei has given way, so we can go back to the imperial city."

Pei Yi shook her head and said: "Don't be too happy, the army of the Western Camp is coming out in full force, unlike Zhao Huaining's style, I'm afraid the city guards will be there."

Li Shen was in a hurry: "What does Prime Minister Pei mean? The [-] army guarding the city is the same as the [-] Jicheng army commanded by General Yuan, and they are our brother soldiers! Could it be that Prime Minister Pei suspects that they have betrayed?"

Pei Yi looked up at him, and said in a strong voice: "On the surface, the Jicheng army is the rebel army, not to mention that General Yuan has been involved in a suspicious case, and Zhao Huaining took this opportunity to seize the command of the city guard army. This is just my guess, we need to be more prepared."

Huo Xin nodded to express his agreement with him, and echoed: "In this situation, brothers also have to guard against it. We and the city guards are in charge of the city separately. Apart from being under the command of General Yuan, there is no other intersection. , it’s better to be more prepared.” Huo Xin pondered for a while, and continued: “In my opinion, we should bypass the imperial city and go to Weiling first. First, we can avoid Zhao Huaining’s eyes and ears, and second, we can get along with King Andu. confluence."

Pei Yi nodded in agreement, and said, "I think so too. Weiling's terrain is excellent. It can be attacked or defended. It is very close to the imperial city, and can get in touch with King Andu. Weiling also has military reserves, which can relieve your worries. Going to Weiling can be said to serve multiple purposes."

"Dong dong dong" there was an abrupt knock on the door.

Li Can got up and went to open the door. The person who came was the city lord of Zhuzhou. Li Can cupped his fists and bowed: "It's the lord of Sang."

The Lord of Sang City is a middle-aged man in his 40s, slightly fat, with two mustaches, smiling all day long. He stretched out both hands to help Li Shen's hand, and said: "When I just entered the mansion, there was a man in front of the mansion. The little girl asked to see Pei Xiangguo, did you see Pei Xiangguo?"

"Oh? What girl, can you bother City Lord Sang to come over?" Pei Yi stood up and walked across to City Lord Sang.

City Lord Sang is honest, honest and kind, and Pei Yi admires him very much, so he doesn't show his majesty as a prime minister in front of him, and only treats him as a peer.

The owner of Sang City smiled and said, "It's just on the way. If I come to inform you, I won't be in trouble. The girl said that she belongs to the Xu family."

"From the Xu family?" Pei Yi didn't think about it for a while, but it's not easy to ask the Lord Sang to just wait, "Please trouble the Lord to let her in."

"Hey, okay, I'm going to leave the mansion soon, and I'll tell her on the way later, that's it, I'll leave first." City Lord Sang responded with a smile, turned and left.

Pei Yi still couldn't recall any old acquaintance surnamed Xu in Zhuzhou, not to mention that his trip was secretive, and outsiders didn't know much about it.

Pei Yi sat back in her original position and waited quietly for someone to come.

Not long after, a girl who looked like a maid was led here by a young man, Pei Yi stood up immediately, and said, "Which Xu family is it? It turned out to be Xu Shiwen's Xu family."

The servant girl knelt down to pay her respects, and when she raised her head, it turned out to be Xu Shuyi's dead servant girl, Jun'er.

"I've met Pei Xiangguo, the servant is the Xu family's servant girl."

Pei Yi motioned for her to get up, and said, "Get up, I've seen you, the girl who used to be next to Princess Anning, why did she come to Zhuzhou?"

Jun'er stood up and replied: "Zhuzhou is Master Xu's hometown. After my young lady passed away, my elder was heartbroken and returned home. The slaves came to live in Zhuzhou with Princess Yuqi."

"Oh, so that's the case, then what's the matter for you to come here to find me?" Pei Yi asked after taking a sip of tea in a slow manner.

Jun'er looked at Huo Xin and Li Can who were in the room with some hesitation, and said, "Master Xiangguo, can you screen back?"

Pei Yixin asked if she had something important to say, so she said to Huo Xin and the two: "You go out first."

Although Huo Xin and Huo Xin had doubts in their hearts, they both resigned after Xiangguo spoke.

Seeing the two leave, Jun'er turned around and closed the door, turned around again, and knelt down in front of Pei Yi.

Pei Yi reached out to help, but Jun'er was determined to kneel on the ground, and refused to get up no matter what, Pei Yi had no choice but to give up, "You girl, just talk about what you want."

"Pei Xiangguo, my elder said that you are a good person and upright. May I ask you, have you come here with the Jicheng army, have you already become suspicious of Zhao Huaining?"

Pei Yi didn't answer her question, but instead asked: "Little girl, how can you call the old master by his name directly. This is not like someone from the Xu family."

Pei Yi didn't answer her question directly, she looked at him from left to right, if this is the case, then Pei Yi must not be on Zhao Huaining's side!Jun'er inexplicably developed a burst of courage, looked up at Pei Yi with tears in his eyes, and said word by word: "My lady died strangely! Slave and maid, I implore Xiangguo to seek justice for my lady!"

Pei Yi was actually suspicious of the death of Xu Shuyi from the Xu family, but at that time, the court situation was chaotic, he watched coldly, and did not investigate too much. Hearing this, Pei Yi was not shocked, but said: "What's strange, tell me listen."

Now that the words have been spoken, Jun'er simply said all of them. If the entrustment is not someone, then blame her for not knowing people, so she said: "As you know, my lady's body has not been found, but a clothes tomb was set up in Weiling. .”

"I know, let alone fall into the cliff, can't you find the body?"

Jun'er's expression was full of resentment, and tears welled up in his eyes, "I went to search, and found the lady's body at the bottom of the cliff. All the bones in her body were broken, and her face was beyond recognition, but there were not only traces of injuries on her body, There are also traces of fighting with people. There are very obvious finger marks on the left arm. One can tell at a glance that someone must have pulled her and left it! Moreover, my lady's right hand is holding the sheep worn around Zhao Huaining's neck. The jade pendant is securely buckled, and his name is engraved on the back!" Jun'er reached into his bosom, and took out a jade pendant.

Pei Yi took it and looked at it against the light, and sure enough, she saw the word Huaining engraved on one side of the jade pendant.

Pei Yi was finally shocked.I was speechless for a long while.

Jun'er kowtowed again, and then said: "The servant did not dare to speak out, for fear of harming himself and the princess, so he had to bury the body on the spot. Then, Zhao Huaining appointed the daughter of the Marquis of Wei as the queen. Doesn't Xiangguo think there is a problem? It's as if my young lady died just to make room for Jiang Huanian!"

"Also! On July [-]th, the night when the first emperor was seriously ill, I saw with my own eyes that Zhao Huaining ordered the soldiers out of the gate of the mansion, and returned in the early morning!"

With Jun'er's testimony, everything seemed clear.

"On the evening of July [-]th, the first emperor was seriously ill. Later, Zhao Huaining ascended the throne with the imperial edict, the eunuch died, and the concubine Yuan was seriously ill and could not see anyone. Yi connected the cause and effect together, and suddenly felt a chill. : "The emperor's last edict widely rumored on the border seems to be true. Zhao Huaining, who killed his father and wife, is extremely abominable!"
