I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 257 Qu Chongyin's New Development

Less than a quarter of an hour after the end of the court meeting, several letters were sent to Yangxiahou's mansion one after another.

This was sent by the eyeliner arranged by Chen Luo in Chang'an City.

They are from all walks of life, and the first batch of letters sent here are all the courtiers who just participated in the court meeting. Knowing that today's news cannot be neglected, they wrote it in the fastest time, even the handwriting is scribbled, and they can be seen at a glance It was rushed out in a carriage.

When these letters arrived in the hands of the guards, they went to ask the mistress for routine instructions.

Two guards walked into the lobby, and the man on the right was responsible for holding a stack of letters.

As for the person on the left, who is of better rank, he bowed respectfully after seeing Liu Le and said: "I've met my mistress. Good morning. These are letters that will be sent outside the city. I came to give you a look."

They will be sent to the Mohist camp outside Chang'an City.

According to Chen Luo's previous rules, if he was in the mansion, the letter must be read and approved by himself first, and if he was not in the mansion, it would be handed over to Liu Le for instructions instead.If both of them are absent, the guard must make a copy and send the original out of the city.

In this way, the important content on the letter can be avoided from being neglected, and if there is any problem, you can also recall its content at the first time.

Liu Le picked up the silk scroll on the top, glanced at it twice, then put away his careless look, and began to read it carefully.

"Let's leave these letters on the copybook. If there are more letters to arrive later, you can send them here directly." When she said this, her attention was still focused on the silk book in her hand, and her eyes did not move away. .

"Wei." The two guards were taken aback for a moment, then nodded in response.

The reason why they took a few seconds to react was because Liu Le's attitude towards these letters today was quite different from usual.

She would just scan it hastily before, then ignored it and handed it over to the attendants to bring it to Mohist disciples.

Today Liu Le not only browsed carefully, but also kept them directly, and did not choose to send them outside the city immediately.

However, they had no doubts about the order of the mistress. After all, the lord was not there, and most of the things in the mansion were handled by her.

The mistress is usually gentle and gentle in front of her lord, but when it comes to handling matters on her own, her style is exactly the same as that of the empress of the day. Where she should not hesitate, she must be vigorous and resolute.

The servants and guards in the mansion privately circulated their evaluation of the headed family as "our lord is unambiguous in big and small matters, but the mistress is unambiguous in small matters and decisive in big matters. Unless the lord is by her side, she will become confused." .”

Chen Luo had heard this evaluation by chance, and thought it was quite accurate.

That night he went back to the room to tease Liu Le, teasing her and saying, "Look what other people say about you. You are Zhong Wuyan, but in front of me you become Xia Yingchun." Then Chen Luo was labeled as " The charge of "Who do you think is Zhong Wuyan" was tried four times, and this topic was never mentioned again.

At this time, Liu Le was in the "Zhong Wuyan" state alone.

After receiving the letters and reading a few words, she judged the importance of these letters.

The second thought that popped up in my mind, I must ensure that they are safely delivered to my husband, so that he can learn about the information from the court in time.

After all, Chen Luo was leading the army abroad, without accurate and sufficient information, it was prone to misjudgment.

This principle is similar to the chess I usually play.

In a large advantage situation, making a wrong move may cause hidden dangers, but the situation will not change dramatically in a short period of time; in a balanced situation, making a wrong move may easily lead to local strangling failure, which will affect the overall situation; as for disadvantages In such a situation, making a wrong move is very likely to lead to a desperate situation and a complete collapse.

This is the fundamental reason why I cannot let this information be lost.

Just thinking back to what Lu Zhi said last night, there was a hint of warning in the faint.

She pointed out that she sent someone to deliver information to Chen Luo. Although there was no direct evidence, Liu Le was not sure whether she would use further radical methods to obtain the evidence she wanted.

In this case, choosing to send several letters in multiple batches will disperse the protection, and the probability of being intercepted midway will increase sharply.

Liu Le naturally didn't want to risk exposure.

So she chose to go through all these letters by herself first, screen and summarize the contents, and finally summarize them in a volume of silk to ensure the safety of the letter transmission process as much as possible.

Sitting down quietly, Liu Le began to read these letters on the copybook one by one.

I have to ensure efficiency. Information is time-sensitive. Information delivered too slowly is not called information, but a story that has happened before.

But she also has to extract effective information from these numerous letters, and she can't blindly pursue the speed and forget the accuracy of the information, otherwise, when Chen Luo looks at a lot of incomprehensible words, it's better to Get the story that happened.

For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the rustling of Liu Le flipping the silk script and writing.

"... Huaiyang is the one who made the first contribution, followed by Wuyang... On behalf of the crown prince Bi, he received few titles..." Nearly half an hour later, Liu Le sent these letters and two new ones on the way. The contents of the letter were summarized and objectively shortened into a thin scroll.

She slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air, and after shaking her slightly sore wrist, she gently rubbed the center of her eyebrows.Just as he was about to call his attendants to take the scroll away, Liu Le heard footsteps outside the door.

"Are there any new letters?" She saw a guard appearing in her field of vision, so she asked, but she didn't see any new letters from the other party's hand.

"My mistress, there is no new letter, but now someone is coming to see the lord." After the guard saluted, he reported the situation respectfully.

"Huh?" Liu Le showed a look of surprise. What surprised her was not that someone came to visit, but that the person who came to visit was actually Chen Luo.

This shows that the visitor is not a high-ranking person in the court, even if he didn't pay attention yesterday, Xiao He almost mentioned the matter of Chen Luo's return to Chang'an at the court meeting today, and it is almost impossible for someone not to notice.

After thinking for a while, Liu Le ordered: "Let the person who comes come tell you his name. I'll see whether to let him come, or just tell him that your lord is not here."

"Mistress, we have already asked about his name. The name of the person who came was Qu Chongyin. He mentioned the lord in his words, and he seemed quite familiar." The guard replied in response.

"It's him." Liu Le recalled the information about this person. After the attack, the beloved took him back to Chang'an, talked a lot on the way, and seemed to have entrusted him with an urgent task.

All of a sudden, she had a thought.

This Qu Chongyin happened so coincidentally.

I'll do some research on my words later. If there are no problems, I can make him a real messenger in addition to the Mohist family's carrier pigeon.

Sending a piece of news in two directions, one land and one air, is tantamount to double insurance, and it's hard not to get it into Chen Luo's hands.

"He is your lord's friend, let him come." Liu Le said lightly. When the guards left, she packed up the slightly messy letters on the slips and put them into the box, leaving only her own handwriting. That silk book.

After a stick of incense, Qu Chongyin was brought into the hall by his attendants.

He first glanced around the lobby and didn't see Chen Luo, so he was a little confused, but he still bowed his hands to Liu Le and said, "I've met Madam, I'm fine in the morning.

The matter that Yang Xiahou entrusted to his subordinates before leaving Chang'an has already achieved basic results, and I hope I can tell him personally. "

Liu Le responded softly, "Marquis Yang Xia has not returned to Chang'an yet, and is still outside the customs, don't you know?"

"Ah?" Qu Chongyin's face instantly revealed a look of astonishment.

He spoke a little faster: "Didn't the army stationed outside the city yesterday? As one of the main generals, Yang Xiahou, why didn't he return to Chang'an?"

Liu Le squinted his eyes. The other party's slight expression just now couldn't be faked, so his reaction didn't seem fake.

So she went on to say: "Husband, he still has other important matters to be responsible for, so he didn't come back. This matter was mentioned at today's court meeting. It is estimated that if you ask any official in Chang'an City in two days, you will know that I did not lie to you.

If you have anything important, you can tell me and relay it to him. "

Qu Chongyin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't suspect that you are lying. It's just that the matter is very important, and the people involved are very dangerous. Even you, it's inconvenient to know about it."

Seeing his appearance, Liu Le clenched his fist slightly with his right hand, and had a guess in his heart.

After analyzing Qu Zhongyin's words and considering his identity, the most likely situation involved is the previous assassination case by a thief.

After a moment of silence, Liu Le raised his head and said, "If that's the case, then what are your plans?"

"Of course we can only wait for Marquis Yongyang Xia to come back. I will come to visit you as soon as possible." Qu Chongyin made up his mind and was already planning to bow and leave.

Seeing this, Liu Le stopped him again and said, "My husband is going to the south to conquer the Nanyue Kingdom. If he comes back, he will have to wait at least three months. Don't you think it's been a long time?"

"Well, that's true." Qu Chongyin is also a smart person, knowing that there is something in Liu Le's words, so he continued, "Then please show me a clear way, madam."

Liu Le took out a jade box, handed it over and said: "There are 50 taels of gold in it. You really have something very important to tell my husband. Please use it as a package, and hire guards, and go outside the pass to find it as soon as possible." him.

If you are willing to choose this difficult path, I will choose to support you. "

Seeing Liu Le's sincere eyes, Qu Zhongyin immediately stood up and raised his hands and said: "A scholar will die for his confidant. I will leave immediately. The gold in this jade box is not what I should accept!"

Liu Le smiled lightly and said, "I have another letter here that you need to take along the way, and it will be used as a reward for delivering the letter."

Let's face it, she pushed the jade box to Qu Zhongyin without giving him a chance to refuse.

"Wei." Taking a deep breath, Qu Zhongyin bowed his hands again, his eyes determined.
