Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 417 Ruthless to others, more ruthless to myself
Those who speak are very detailed, and those who listen are serious.

Cheng Fang's voice was slightly low, with a bit of hoarseness at night, and the scroll of mountains and rivers slowly unfolded with his tone. On it, the banners were flying, the horses neighed, and the sound of swords and halberds resounded for more than [-] years.

Then the yellow sand fell, and the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse finally had frost on his temples, and his fame was lost in time along with the carriage leaving Beijing.

Without hearing the drums of war, the curtain falls on heroes.The predecessors have passed away, and the pen holder is handed over to the descendants to write.

"White hair urges old age, Qingyang urges old age," at the end of the words, Cheng Fang trembled, his eyes were slightly red, and then he sighed softly, "That's all."

"That's it."

Another sound.

Nan Zhen knew that this was not sad, but tragic.

The night breeze was cool, Cheng Fang gathered his clothes and looked tired.

After saying these words, it was as if a part of the body had been stripped away. There was no relief, only exhaustion.

He has a simple mind, fights when there is a battle, rests when there is no battle, and has no regrets.

But the general must have regrets, and he didn't rest until his death.

Cheng Fang squinted his eyes, suppressing the soreness in his eyes.

He watched the wind blowing from the treetops, and said slowly, "Madam, it's getting late, I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll go back and rest first."

At the end, he asked again, "You should go back earlier, it's cold in the mountains at night, so don't catch the wind and cold."

Those words that have not come at the right time and are not suitable to be spoken now are tacitly expressed.

Nan Zhen smiled at him and nodded, "Shou Cheng, please go back, I will stand for a while and leave."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

Cheng Fang quickly walked down from the lookout platform, walking steadily, and went around between the thatched huts, where the moon couldn't see through, so he couldn't see it anymore.

Nan Zhen stood alone on a high place, stretched out her hand, wrapped her sleeves in the night wind, dazed for a moment, and then returned.

……

There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and the autumn sun shines brightly during the day. When I wake up until the early morning, I still feel a little cold.

Before the sun rose, the tits in the jungle shuttled between the grass stalks, singing non-stop, disrupting the dreams of the people in the house.

Nan Zhen pulled the quilt casually and covered it on top of her head. After a while, she slowly took it off again, and opened her eyes, still a little hazy.

I tossed and turned last night, didn't sleep well, and now I'm still very sleepy.

It's just that this drowsiness dissipated instantly when I saw the carrier pigeon flying to the window.

There is a letter from the palace.

Xiao Rongxi took off the note tied to the pigeon's leg, and after reading it, seeing Nan Zhen staring at her, she walked over and handed it to her.

Nan Zhen took it, and after reading it, she frowned slightly, "So the palace doesn't know yet."

"Ah."

Zhang Dian's letter only used a few words to explain that there was something wrong with the brochure that He Tingzhi handed over. After receiving Xiao Rongxi's letter, he responded decisively and sent Liu Mo over.

He Tingzhi's ability to whitewash peace is excellent, and it is the best to expose it face to face.

Nan Zhen doesn't have a deep impression of Liu Mo, but has a good impression of his younger sister Liu Sijia.

At that time, it was Liu Sijia who took the opportunity of drinking tea to reveal the spies placed by the Shen family in the Zhang residence.

"Why did you send Liu Mo here?" Nan Zhen returned the letter to Xiao Rongxi and asked, "I remember when he left Beijing, he was still in prison."

Nan Zhen only knew that Liu Mo was in prison, but she didn't know the twists and turns behind her.

Looking back now, I feel that there is a lot of articles in it.

Xiao Rongxi didn't hide from her, and said directly, "Liu Mo and his elder brother had the experience of serving in the army when he was young, and later his elder brother was killed in the delay of food and grass to protect him. At the beginning, when the Shen family offered an olive branch, he took it without hesitation, hoping to get close to Prince Chen, find out the truth, and wait for an opportunity to take revenge."

"Later, Zhang Cong investigated the files and found that the incident was different. The person behind the incident was Yu Xinghong. On the surface, the Shen family was attached to the Chen Palace, but in fact they worked for the Yu family."

Listening to his words, Nan Zhen was a little dazed, "So Liu Mo went to jail, did he do it on purpose?"

"clever."

Xiao Rongxi gave her an approving look, and continued, "On the surface, you are going to jail, but in fact, you are trying to save your own life."

Outsiders will only think that he is a chess piece that can be sacrificed at any time in the battle between himself and Xiao Yiheng, and he can also use the fact of being arrested to dispel the doubts of Shen Zong and Yu Xinghong.

When Liu Mo reveals the truth, Xiao Rongxi will definitely investigate and help him cover it up and deal with the aftermath. This is a win-win situation.

Nan Zhen: "Then why did you release him now and send him to Jincheng? In the eyes of the courtiers, this is a hot potato, and the person who takes over this position is tantamount to relegation."

"People can't be locked up all the time, they have to be released anyway. If they are detained for a long time without questioning the crime, people will be more suspicious."

Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Wouldn't it be more suspicious if he was acquitted rashly?"

Xiao Rongxi chuckled lightly, "You've hit the point. Originally, Zhang Dian and I were still discussing when to choose the right time to release him, but I didn't expect Liu Mo to be cruel enough to him, so he took the initiative to ask for punishment, and he got away with life and death." Layers of skin left."

I heard that after he was released from prison, he had to lie on the bed for a full month before he could get off the ground.

Now that he has just recovered to seven or eight points, and has been assigned to Jincheng again, anyone would think that this is trying to scare others, and their doubts will naturally disappear.

After listening to his description, Nan Zhen felt a little overwhelmed, and sighed, "Sure enough, those who can enter the temple are not ordinary people."

Being ruthless to others and even more ruthless to oneself, such a person is a sharp knife if he uses it well.

"By the way," Nan Zhen suddenly thought of a question, "Since Prince Chen already knows that Shen Zong is from the Yu family, what is his attitude towards Liu Mo now?"

You know, Liu Sijia is married to Shen Xian, and Liu Mo is naturally considered half of Shen's family, and Prince Chen will definitely not allow an irregular explosive to stay by his side.

Xiao Rongxi: "At present, it seems that it is still under observation."

It's one thing for Liu Sijia to marry into Shen's family, but another thing for Shen Zong to pull Liumo to take the blame.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shen Zong didn't treat him sincerely, and Liu Sijia didn't have the so-called majesty of being a housewife in the Shen family.

According to what he knew about Xiao Yiheng, not only would he not doubt Liu Mo, but he might even reuse him.

Yu Xinghong placed so many people beside Xiao Yiheng, he may not be able to swallow this breath, and Liu Mo is a good incision.

"Let's see the reaction of Prince Chen's Mansion on this trip."

Xiao Rongxi put away the letter, seeing Nan Zhen rolled up the quilt and wrapped herself like a rice dumpling, she couldn't help reaching out and pinching her face.

The movement is very light, no pain, slightly itchy.

Nan Zhen rubbed against his hand, half-closed her eyes.

The person is awake, but his eyes are a little sore.

Xiao Rongxi stroked her side face, and her voice called out, "Do you want to sleep a little longer, and I will ask them to leave food for you?"

"No need," Nan Zhen rubbed her eyes, lifted the quilt and went to the ground, "Just wash your face."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Rongxi said, "I won't have dinner with you for a while, I'll go to Cheng Fang first and discuss it with him."
