Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

In the entire Dingxi palace, except for the old steward, none of the soldiers resisted, and they even led Xie Zhiyun.

When Xie Zhiyun and others entered the backyard of the palace, they found that all the servants of the palace were locked in the back room. Except for the old housekeeper and the soldiers, there were no more people in the palace.

Dingxi Wang Sima Ao and Dingxi Princess Shen Wenchun have long been absent from the residence.

Xie Zhiyun's face was gloomy, but she didn't get angry. She glanced at Feng Fang and said, "The prince and concubine are missing. I am very worried that something will happen to them. Daqi's spies are everywhere, so we need to investigate carefully."

She said: "Invite the old housekeeper and the leader of the government soldiers back, and let them carefully recall when the prince and princess disappeared."

Xie Zhiyun finished speaking, and then said directly: "In the future, the affairs of the Dingxi Palace will be temporarily taken over by Su Guogong's mansion. Deputy Wen, you guard the Dingxi Palace. If the prince comes back in the future and finds that there is any damage in the mansion, you are the only one to ask."

Xie Zhiyun quickly finished giving orders, and then looked at Weiying: "Auntie, there are still things at home, I'll go back first, please take a look at the house for any clues, so that I can find my cousin quickly."

Since Shen Wenchun wanted to recognize Wei Shi so much, Xie Zhiyun let her recognize him.

Wei Ying and her looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and nodded solemnly: "I know, that is my daughter, and I will definitely take care of it."

After coming out of Dingxi Prince's Mansion, Xie Zhiyun's complexion sank. She took a deep breath, readjusted her expression, and even had a smile on her face.

Wei Yao followed behind her, and the two of them galloped on horseback, all the way to Duke Su's mansion.

"Sister-in-law, is this wrong?"

Xie Zhiyun said: "It's too wrong, let's discuss it later."

When we got back to the Duke of Su's mansion, the governor of Yezhou and the two chief clerks were already waiting in the vestibule study. Also waiting together were the old general Zhou Chenglin left behind by Wei Cang, Li Jiye and others who were in charge of the camp in the western suburbs, and Cui Ji and Ji Xiuxiu are also there.

Xie Zhiyun saw that Cui Ji had invited someone, so she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. She walked in quickly with Wei Yao, and said: "King Dingxi and Princess Dingxi are missing, and all the servants in their house are locked in the back room. They are all handled by the old housekeeper."

"I have ordered the soldiers and the old housekeeper to be sent to the camp. Vice General Liu is good at interrogating, let's see if he can get any clues."

Cui Ji frowned when he heard this.

Wang Fucheng thought for a moment when he heard the words, and he asked, "What do the pigeons that the soldiers found before mean?"

Xie Zhiyun sat down and took a sip of tea, then said slowly, "I think the pigeon simply sent a letter to Sima, telling them that the prince and concubine are not at the house, so that they can feel at ease."

Wang Fucheng was stunned for a moment: "What do you want them to do?"

Speaking of this, everyone's expressions changed.

Xie Zhiyun put down her teacup, and she said in a deep voice, "Let them rest assured that even if the North Vietnamese army attacks Yezhou, the prince and concubine will not become hostages, and His Majesty the emperor will not bear the bad reputation of disregarding his relatives."

The voice fell to the ground, and there was silence in the study room, only the sound of heavy or light breathing.

After a while, Old General Zhou said in a deep voice: "After the Fengling incident, the North Vietnamese Army has dispatched 10,000 troops to Fengling, and there are still [-]+ troops that have not moved."

"Si Ma Ling just had the conscience of General Yu and General Yu right, and knew that they would not allow Da Qi to invade North Vietnam, so he put on a face and didn't send troops at all."

"If they want to attack Yezhou, we will face 10,000+ troops."

As soon as this was said, everyone present fell silent again.

Each of them felt very heavy in their hearts. Beiyue's actions had only one intention, and that was to attack Yezhou while Wei Cang and Wei Ji were leading the troops outside.

Xie Zhiyun saw the solemn faces of the people, thought for a while, and said, "This is just our guess. If Sima Ling is really so stupid, even if they dare to attack Yezhou, it is impossible for him to win."

"If this is the case, then Sima Ling is no longer worthy of being emperor," Xie Zhiyun said firmly, "But even if it is a guess, we have to be prepared."

"Old general, you use the general's seal to issue a decree to the other six states, instructing them to prepare food and firewood in advance. If something happens, Huzhou Mu, Taixing Mu, General Zhang and General Dongfang will preside over the border operation together. Food, delivery of supplies."

In any case, the border must be secured first.

Old General Zhou said: "Yes."

Xie Zhijun thought for a while, and continued: "Vice General Li, Wang Fucheng, please go outside the city tomorrow, so that the people outside the city can store food and firewood, and prepare for the winter. Heavy snow, let them pay attention to keep warm and avoid snow disasters."

The two also stood up and said, "Yes."

Then Xie Zhiyun said: "Tomorrow, I will go with my aunt and second brother to take a look at the city defense and see if there are any omissions."

"Mother, third sister-in-law, I will leave the matter of winter clothes to you."

After this series of arrangements, Xie Zhiyun took a breath and looked at everyone solemnly.

"Sima Ling's heart is as big as a needle. He has no family, country, or people in his heart. He only has his own authority. We can't be sure that he won't do such stupid and stupid things," Xie Zhiyun said, "So, we will Be prepared in case you need it.”

"Let me put it up front. Once that time comes, we can only rely on ourselves."

"You can't cause trouble for your father and the young father-in-law, and you can't let the soldiers at the border gate worry about their relatives and their safety."

"We have to fight it ourselves."

Everyone stood up, and they all said in unison: "We resist ourselves!"

In the evening, Weiying came back.

Her face was a little dignified, and as soon as she came back, she asked everyone to go to Ronghua Hall, and said: "I checked, and there are indeed pigeons in their house, but only the last few are left."

"I asked the guy who kept the pigeons. The guy said that the princess likes to eat pigeon soup, so there are dozens of pigeons in the house. He doesn't know why the old housekeeper releases the pigeons."

Xie Zhiyun said: "The pigeons found by the city guards don't have letterheads on them, so they should just report their safety, but we're not sure."

"Auntie, let's put this matter aside. Are there any clues in their family?"

Wei Ying shook her head, looking a little tired.

"Nothing, not a piece of paper left, not much clothes and gold and silver jewelry, I guess they disguised themselves, borrowed someone else's identity and sneaked out of the city."

Ji Xiuxiu said: "Yes, two or three months before leaving Yezhou, we will step up the investigation, and the luggage we brought will also be checked. For the sake of safety, we must not take it with us."

Xie Zhijun stood up and walked to the window to look at the bright moonlight outside.

She sighed: "I hope it's just our worries."
