The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 195 The News monger

Chapter 195 The News monger
On the second day, the Hancang Army sent a military report, and the Northern Liang State gathered another group of soldiers and horses to go south. It seems that they have not given up on the Central Plains.

Hu Xiaowei's scouts found near the Black Moon Palace. Early in the morning, the densely packed army of medicine men split into two groups, moving south and north, not knowing what to do.

Yang Xuan took Zhao Shuang in disguise and entered Changzhou City to inquire about news, and Ming Jing followed closely behind the two.

The streets of Changzhou City are still full of people coming and going, noisy and boiling, and there is no sense of the impending war at all.

"Why don't we go to Yucheng to find out the news?" Zhao Shuang has come back to Changzhou for the second time. The market here is prosperous, but it seems that everyone doesn't care much about the news of the battlefield. The residents in the city are still singing and dancing, eating, drinking and having fun.

"Yucheng is the capital city of Beiliang, and it is heavily guarded. Moreover, most of Yucheng is the nobles of Beiliang, and they are especially loyal to the new emperor of Beiliang. It is not easy to get them." Yuyu greeted the waiter in the shop. He seemed to be familiar with the road, as if he came here often, "Changzhou City is different. Changzhou City has always been a trading port between the Northern Liang Kingdom, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the tribes in the northern border. There are many merchants in the city. Both. Merchants value profits, regardless of the source."

The three of them sat down at a square wooden table, ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of dim sum for breakfast.

Not long after, two people from the north who had received the signal entered the tea shop. One was old and the other was young. They were quite close in appearance, but they were completely different in appearance.

The old man has blond hair, while the young man has dark hair.

The two saluted Yang Xuan to the north, and then sat down at the round table.

"These two are Becha and Abu, and they are my friends in Changzhou City." Yang Xuan pointed to the two and introduced them to Zhao Shuang and Mingjing, "I've been with them during this time."

Zhao Shuang probably understood that these two people were one of Yang Xuan's secret works in Beiliang.

Just like Eveleh is the fine work of the Northern Liang Kingdom in the Great Zhou, there are probably many fine works of the Great Zhou in the Northern Liang Kingdom.

The big hermit is hidden in the city, and the voices of people in the teahouse are noisy, which is just suitable for hiding people's voices.

A few people chatted while eating, and their voices were drowned in the hustle and bustle of the city as soon as they came out.

"My lord, I heard that something happened in the Black Moon Palace yesterday..." Becha was a thin old man from the northern border, with gray and blond hair, and wearing a white northern riding suit with a waist.

Yang Xuan made a gesture to signal him to speak carefully, Becha immediately understood that it was Yang Xuan who made a big fuss in the Black Moon Palace yesterday.

"Is there any news from Black Moon Palace today?" Yang Xuan asked casually while eating local snacks with milk tea, as if he was asking how the Hubing was sold today.

"My lord, you have to be careful. I heard that the lord has already returned to the Yucheng Palace, and the national teacher has sealed the Black Moon Palace." Becha said, pointing to the boy from Beiliang next to him, "Abu early in the morning I went to the desert to inquire about the news, and saw that the medicine man corps had also withdrawn..."

"The Yaoren Corps followed Xiao Yan to Yucheng?" Yang Xuan asked with a frown after taking a sip of milk tea.

In fact, Hu Xiaowei's scouts had already reported the news of the Yaoren Corps in the morning, but he wanted to confirm it again.

"The medicine men's corps divided into two groups, and followed the master all the way back to Yucheng." Becha dipped his hand in the tea and drew two lines on the table. "The other way...followed General Wuke to go south to Beijing..."

Before Becha could finish his sentence, the faces of the three people in front of him suddenly changed.

"He wants to attack Shangjing again?" Yang Xuan put down his spoon, his expression became tense.

The Northern Liang Kingdom just lost a large number of troops outside of Shangjing, so why did it make a comeback so quickly?

"I heard... this time, the Xuanwu Battalion in the south of the Yangtze River is joining forces with my medicine army in Beiliang." Becha rolled his light green eyes and said tentatively, "My lord, going to Beijing is in danger, do you want to..."

"Xuanwu Camp?" Zhao Shuang squeezed the beard in his hand, and asked in a voice, "Is this true?"

"This little brother," Becha looked at her with a smile, leaned back, stroked his beard and said, "This old man has been a news dealer for more than 20 years, and he is older than you! From the south to the north, there is no I have information that Becha doesn’t know, and my sources are always accurate and never make mistakes.”

Zhao Shuang secretly thought it was bad.

Empress Dowager Liu is really not enough for success, but more than failure!

When the Xuanwu camp arrived in Shangjing, Chen Yang would definitely say that it was too late to receive the empress dowager's distress letter, and the empress dowager Liu was stupid and greedy, and would definitely open the city gates for him.

At that time, no matter how strong the city wall of Shangjing City is, it will not be able to withstand the rebellion of the Xuanwu Camp.

Long Xiaowei couldn't compare with the Xuanwu Camp in terms of numbers or record, not to mention Wu Ke led the Yaoren Corps southward, and it took only an instant to break through to the capital.

Yang Xuan saw that she was uneasy, shook her hand under the table, and asked Bei Cha, "The Horn of Lihun is in Xiao Yan's hands, how can the medicine men's corps going south be able to move?"

"I heard that the national teacher used a spell on the Yaoren Corps. No matter where the Yaoren Corps is, they can hear the sound of the horn of Lihun. Even if the Lord is in the Yucheng Palace, he can still command the Yaoren to go south to attack the city. "Bei Cha looked at Yang Xuan and said with a relaxed smile, "My lord, the life and death of the entire Shangjing City now depends on me, the new emperor of Beiliang. If you don't go to Yucheng... I'm afraid you won't be able to. If you want to go to Yucheng... "

News dealers like Becha are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. As long as the world is in chaos, there will be places for them to make money.As for who wins and who loses, it is out of their consideration.

"Do you have connections in Yucheng?" Yang Xuan naturally understood what he meant, raised an eyebrow at the old man and asked, and took out a small ingot of gold from his sleeve.

Bei Cha's eyes lit up, he quickly put the gold into his sleeve pocket, pointed to the young man beside him and said, "My lord, you are asking the right person, my adopted son... He often goes to Yucheng on weekdays, and he can say yes to Yucheng." He knows everything well, let him take a few of you to Yucheng to have a look."

"Oh?" Yang Xuan looked suspiciously at the boy from Beiliang Country. He looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his beard hadn't grown yet, so he didn't look reliable.

"My lord, my majesty... would like to lead a few distinguished guests to Yucheng." The black-haired boy noticed his suspicious gaze, and hurriedly saluted the northern border, fearing that the deal would be ruined.

Seeing that Yang Xuan was still hesitating, Becha added with a smile on his face, "My lord, the documents for customs clearance, as well as the change of clothes in the northern border, rented boats, inns, etc., I have already prepared everything. It’s all given to you.”

Seeing his eyes wide open when he saw Qian, Zhao Shuang let out a soft "sneer" helplessly.

The ingot of gold that Yang Xuan bought just now bought a whole boat, how much is a few clothes and renting a boat worth?This old man can really do business.

"Okay, it's not too late. Let's go to Yucheng in the afternoon after lunch." Yang Xuan nodded in agreement, and continued to eat some snacks.

Both Yucheng and Changzhou are along the coast of Yuding Lake. From Changzhou to Yucheng, you can take land or water.Traveling by water is smoother, while traveling by land requires passing through the desert, which takes a long time and is laborious.

Yang Xuan planned to follow Abu by water with Zhao Shuang, and asked Ming Jing to go back and lead the army to Yucheng by land.
