Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 62 Said that she was like a snake and scorpion making waves
The spy lowered his head and didn't dare to say more. Although he was sent to Jiangnan as an eyeliner long ago, he had also heard about General Xu's deeds, so he didn't dare to underestimate him.

"There is no movement, so I went to force him. Have you checked the place where King Xuan put the grain and grass outside the city?"

After Xu Junyan's cold words fell, the spy's heart tightened, "Master, the Xiao family hasn't moved yet, will it be possible to act rashly like this..."

Xu Junyan put down the long sword in his hand, "The Xiao family will not refuse, go and find out where King Xuan's food is hidden and come back."

The spy had a serious look on his face, and bowed out of the guest room.

The general is going to burn people's food and grass, forcing him to jump over the wall in a hurry!If the Xiao family turned against them, they would be enemies...

Thinking of the general's unquestionable aura, he shook his head and quickened his pace.

Xu Ming walked into the house after notifying him, hesitantly said: "Master, Xia He really returned to Jin'an?"

Xia He left a letter before they left without saying goodbye.

Xu Junyan raised his head and glanced at him, "The news from the spies is that she has gone to Jin'an... If she appears in Jiangnan, you don't need to report, just send her to Jin'an immediately."

Xia He's temperament is like this, Xu Ming sighed, "Master, what should we do next?"

Xu Junyan walked to the window and looked at the small bridge and flowing water outside the window, and the black awning boat passed by leisurely. In autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many evergreen trees, creating a gentle scenery.

A gentle person like her should like this place, right?Jiangnan women like to walk on the bridge with umbrellas, and the graceful green clothes complement each other with Jiangnan.

If it were her, what kind of unbelievably beautiful picture would it be?

Sighing, he withdrew his thoughts and closed his eyes softly, "The Xiao family will not reject my proposal. After finding out where King Xuan's food and grass are accumulated, they will all be destroyed. The 500 troops we brought are all from Zhennanwei." He is an elite soldier, just wait for him to jump over the wall in a hurry."

Xu Ming was startled at first, and then asked: "If the Xiao family doesn't make a move, what should we do?"

"Xiao Ziyan is the future son-in-law. He has been the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan for many years, so he will naturally understand. Besides, Wang Zhao did not send Meng Tian here for nothing. As long as he uses it well, Meng Tian will also be our help."

Xu Ming twitched the corner of his mouth, "Master, does Meng Tian have to deal with it?"

Xu Junyan's expression remained unchanged, "Meng Tian colluded with King Xuan, intending to rebel, and was accidentally beheaded by the rebel army in the south of the Yangtze River in the chaos. The Xiao family was very happy to do so, and would not offend Emperor Yongning or Wang Zhao."

When the master lies, he will always act calmly and calmly. If he can learn a thing or two, he will be able to deal with Xia He.

Xu Ming secretly sighed and retreated.

"Wait a minute, you go to Wanming Tea House, buy all the Lanxi Maofeng, and send them to..."

"Is it at Miss Jiang's house?"

Xu Ming secretly thought that no matter how bad his brain was, he should memorize it.

Xu Junyan glanced at him, "Let him be sent to Luoyang immediately, if he is late, he may encounter civil strife in the south of the Yangtze River..."

The best Lanxi Maofeng in the south of the Yangtze River comes from Wanming Tea House.

Xu Ming stroked his forehead, my God!Master can still think of this crop?Civil turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't this the purpose of the master's coming?The master is actually afraid of delaying the delivery of tea...

This Miss Jiang is still guarding the rules, so she should be ready to wait until she gets rid of the clothes, right?Master is planning for a rainy day, but someone like Miss Jiang is indeed worthy of being valued by the master...

As soon as Xu Ming left, Fang Licheng, dressed in civilian clothes, came to meet him outside the door.

For Fang Zhengyuan, Xu Junyan respected him, so this time he agreed to the old general Fang and Fang Licheng to go to the south of the Yangtze River together, which can be regarded as covering up Fang Licheng's whereabouts.

"General Xu."

Xu Junyan shook his head slightly, "You're welcome." He looked respectful and indifferent.

Fang Licheng knew his temper, and said bluntly: "I came to thank General Xu for covering up my tracks."

Xu Junyan smiled lightly and said: "Your Fang family has been kind to me, so what is a little effort? Besides, I won't ask about the purpose of your trip, it's just that you are on the same road."

Seeing him like this, Fang Licheng nodded. As for Xu Junyan, his grandfather had already told him that he was upright but unfathomable. He was by no means an ordinary general, so he just asked himself to respect him a little.

Fang Licheng's friendship with Xu Junyan was due to Fang Lijin. Thinking of his younger brother, he frowned. He thought that if he didn't like to lead the army and fight, he would just be a scholar, but unexpectedly, he became interested in the Suzaku Camp...

Putting away his thoughts, he continued: "If General Xu needs my help during this trip, let's be blunt, our Fang family also has some influence in the south of the Yangtze River."

He can naturally see that Xu Junyan was not simply demoted, and now the Fang family is walking on thin ice, and they dare not relax in the slightest about government affairs.

Hearing about Zhennanwei's changes, his father let him take this opportunity to stabilize the Fang family's power in Jiangnan.

Xu Junyan nodded casually, "Fang Shizi should also be careful of the Xiao family."

Fang Licheng almost couldn't help it, Xu Junyan also saw the purpose of his trip?

He smiled, "Thank you, General Xu, for reminding me that Fang has left."

When he went out, he let out a long sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would be exposed.

The garden in Duanwang Mansion was built by craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River, and the small bridges and flowing water were ingeniously designed. Zhou Chengrui walked around a rockery, and saw a slender figure. People are more delicate than flowers.

Liu Mei?

When Zhou Chengrui saw her, he thought of Emperor Yongning and Wang Zhao's actions towards Jiangnan, and his eyes were immediately filled with gloom.

King Xuan also had a delicate relationship with himself.

Emperor Yongning and Wang Zhao coincided with each other this time. If Xu Junyan retreated from the south of the Yangtze River, it would probably be enough to confer a title, right?
Can I still win him over?The news from the palace was that Huai Shu was making a lot of noise, he pulled the banana leaf that blocked his sight, how could he have such an unreasonable younger sister? !

Liu Mei has long received the news that the prince will pass by here, and she has been waiting in the chrysanthemum bushes for a long time. When she heard the movement behind her, she quickly glanced at her clothes. They were all carefully matched, showing the charm of Jiangnan .

This garden is also in the style of Jiangnan, so the prince might like it.

Liu Mei got up, her skirt fluttered up, and the petals fluttered and fell with her movements, she looked as delicate as falling flowers and brushing water, her face was slightly covered with shame.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she bowed profusely, revealing the whiteness of her chest, "I came here to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't know that I disturbed the prince, and I really deserve to die."

Zhou Chengrui walked up to her with his eyes downcast, raised her chin with his fingers, his face was gloomy, his amorous peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly at this moment, and they were full of anger.

"Are you impatient with life?"

Liu Mei froze, and he forced her to raise her head to look at him, that kind of coldness made her limp and fell to the ground.

"My lord...what's wrong with being a concubine..."

Liu Mei's misty eyes were full of reconciliation, she was also valued by King Xuan, but King Xuan didn't touch her in the end, and sent her to Duanwang Mansion in Luoyang.

She knew that her appearance was superior and charming, but it was just why Duan Wang didn't have the slightest emotion for her.

She dare not extravagantly ask Duan Wang to fall in love with her, as long as she can hook him with her body, that's enough.

Zhou Chengrui didn't look at her any more, it's just a woman, in his eyes, a useless woman is not even worth a flower.

What's more, if the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is not good, this woman has to deal with it. Otherwise, if she has any ties to King Xuan, wouldn't her forbearance for so many years be in vain.

He glanced at the few servant girls who dared not make a sound, "In the future, if Mrs. Liu dares to leave the courtyard privately, you will all commit suicide and apologize to the king."

The maids quickly knelt down and didn't dare to say anything. The prince is like this. He is handsome and elegant when he is gentle, but he doesn't blink when he is cruel. The maids who tried to climb into the prince's bed a few years ago all died in the end. ...

Liu Mei trembled, she was so disgusted by this man?She sat slumped on the ground for a long time, until she felt that her whole body was covered in ice from the floor tiles, and then she was helped up by the servant girl.

She looked at the back of King Duan as he was walking away, and the apricot-yellow tufted brocade dress set off the noble and heroic spirit of King Duan, making herself unattainable.

"Let's go."

Liu Mei looked ashen and helped the maid's hand back to the yard.

In the flower hall, several censors were already waiting, and when they saw King Duan entered the flower hall, they saluted one after another.

"My lord, the subordinate officials have already sent the booklet up, but I don't know what Wang Taishi means."

Zhou Chengrui said with a gentle smile, "I'm sorry, my lords."

A censor hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The prince is concerned about the country and the people, and the next official is just wasting some words, I dare not take credit for it."

Others also joined in.

Zhou Chengrui didn't say much, and called Yan Rang in, "Go and make a pot of good tea for your lords."

Yan Rang complied but did not move around. These imperial censors were all civil servants who had been in the court for many years, and they still had sharp eyesight, so they all understood that this was the intention of seeing off guests.

"The next official still has important matters to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

"The lower official has an appointment with Mr. Li, so I will take my leave first."

……

After a while, these imperial historians all dispersed.

Zhou Chengrui said to Yan Rang: "Have the bank notes been sent to these families?"

Yan Rang cupped his hands and said: "The subordinates dare not be sloppy, and sent them all in the calligraphy and painting."

Looking at a landscape painting by Qi Wenzhi hanging in the flower hall, Zhou Chengrui thought of the young lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

I don't know how surprised she was when she received the painting she sent.

Qi Wenzhi's painting of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum is hard to find, but unfortunately there is still a pair missing.

It's just a lady in the boudoir, and it's not worth spending such a lot of thought on myself.

"Yan Rang, has the congratulatory gift been sent to the Jing'an Hou Mansion?"

Yan Rang nodded, "The coral has already been sent."

"Did the Jing'an Marquis Mansion send someone to thank you?"

Yan Rang shook his head, "There was no post from the concierge, I think Miss Jiang is too impolite, wouldn't it be too wronged for the prince to marry her as his concubine?"

Zhou Chengrui chuckled lightly, with a trace of disdain on his handsome face, "I chose her just because her status is not high, and she can also cover up for this king, not to mention that her natal Fang's family is still there, Wang Zhao I’m afraid it’s unstoppable.”

Yan Rang hesitated for a moment and said: "A while ago, there were rumors in Luoyang that she behaved badly, had a heart like a snake and scorpion, and made trouble in the backyard of the Jing'an Hou Mansion...My lord, do you really want to listen to the concubine?"
