Chapter 220
"Okay, go down and pack your things. Keep your mouth shut. Anyone who asks will say that we will go back to our hometown to raise a baby. When the master gives orders, we will go out." Yang Wanyin waved her hand impatiently, and waited until the maid was kicked out before she leaned on her Lian collapsed and let out a long sigh.According to the rules, now that she is pregnant, she will take the initiative to take concubines for her husband, but her husband has never allowed it, and there is a precedent for the eldest sister monopolizing the favor of the king, so she would rather bear the name of "jealous woman" and refuse. Many wives suggested sending concubines into the mansion.

Just now when her husband suddenly proposed to let her go to the island, her first thought was like that of a maid, but then she realized that something was wrong.However, she didn't intend to delve into it.The male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. When a man makes a decision, it is the smartest way for a woman to follow.Although she often envies her elder sister for living freely, there is only one king of Zhongshan in the world, and her husband loves her in every possible way, so even if he really intends to bring new people into the mansion, she will agree with a smile , As for the stabbing pain in my heart, there will always be a day of recovery...

As the sun rises and the moon sets, as the north wind blows harder and harder, the first snow of this winter finally falls.The people in Qing County get up early, and change into the thickest winter clothes quickly when they see the world is silvery white. The rich people think about calling friends to find a place with a wide view to enjoy the snow and drink, but the poor people don't have such a leisurely mind. Now, copying the sleeves, walking through the streets and alleys with a shoulder pole, selling candied haws, burning firewood or a mouthful of hot soup, hoping to earn enough food and clothing for the whole family to survive.

However, there are still people who are busier in this kind of snowstorm. The official road outside Qing County has been very lively recently, and there will be a well-loaded convoy passing by from time to time.Although most of the convoy didn't stop, and they were traveling at night, they were still spotted by sharp-eyed people. They even talked about it in private, but after all, it had nothing to do with it, and gradually no one mentioned it.If someone carefully counted the number of carriages, he would be shocked.

At this moment, in the general's mansion located in the center of the military city, General Wu looked at the snow falling outside the door, wandering around the hall like a trapped animal.

When it was like this in previous years, he would take his proud subordinates into the mountains to hunt, and he would harvest some snow foxes, sables, and black bears. The furs would be sent to the old house in Kyoto, and his father would take care of them for him.But now, let alone hunting, he even has to hide in his own mansion. There is no other reason, it is all caused by King Zhongshan!

The censor of the imperial court had already come to investigate, and he also led people to check all the defense lines, and there were no loopholes. It is absolutely impossible for the barbarian cavalry to enter Daqi quietly.

Princess Zhongshan might have been robbed by thieves disguised as barbarians, but King Zhongshan refused to believe it and insisted that he send troops to attack the northern barbarians.This request is simply unreasonable. If it was someone else, he would have let the soldiers beat him to death, but it happened that he was the first-rank king of Daqi, a famous royal bloodline.

Thinking of this, he sighed again, grabbed the teapot and took a sip, the tea was actually too cold, when he was about to lose his temper, a trusted general hurried in from outside the door.

"General, there is something urgent to report back at the end."

General Wu frowned, and asked casually, "What happened, why are you so panicked?"

The general looked around vigilantly, and saw that there were no servants in the hall, so his expression eased a little, but he still leaned up to General Wu and whispered, "General, the spies from the north have returned. There is something important." , let’s open the secret room.”

General Wu raised his brows in shock. The spies in the north had been put in after he took a lot of trouble when he took office, and they were lost within a few years, so there were only two left in total.In order to keep this dark line, he had issued an order earlier, absolutely not to act without important matters, lest the entire army be wiped out.Now that the dark thread has finally sent a message back after two years, it goes without saying that something big must have happened.

"Send someone to look for Vice General Li and Vice General Zhang to come over, say in the secret room."

The partial general responded quickly, and quickly found two lieutenants, and the four of them entered the secret room together, and seven or eight personal guards were arranged outside the door to guard them tightly, and even General Wu's concubine brought tonic soup. They were all sent back, but they were forcibly pushed back.

The secret room of the General's Mansion was originally intended for wartime strategy discussions and to prevent the enemy from spying on secrets.However, Daqi and Beiman hadn't fought for many years, so this place became General Wu's small study, storing some letters and belongings from the capital.

Suddenly received three foreign guests today, it seems a little cramped, even the chairs are not enough.Fortunately, the three lieutenants knew that the general didn't invite them here for tea and gossip, so they all stood in front of the table, not only relieved the embarrassment, but also showed the general's respect.

Seeing this, General Wu was very satisfied. He raised his hand and told the general, "Everyone is here. You can tell me what news the spies have sent."

The general hurriedly saluted, and finally said in a low voice, "General, the news from the north said that Princess Zhongshan is indeed in the barbarian king's city now, and she is very much favored by the second prince of the barbarian. In addition, the king of Zhongshan once brought People broke into the king's city and rescued them, but there was no news for some reason. Afterwards, the spies inquired in many ways, and actually discovered a shocking secret."

Everyone raised their hearts and hurriedly urged, "What's the secret? The barbarians are going to invade Daqi?"

The general nodded and said, "The northern barbarians have suffered heavy losses due to natural disasters in the past two years. They originally planned to invade my Daqi soon, but before sending troops, the King of Zhongshan came to rescue his wife and failed. The second prince doesn't know how to get along with King Zhongshan." According to the news, after the negotiation between the two, King Zhongshan agreed to exchange [-] dans of food for the safety of Princess Zhongshan, and the Northern Man will not invade Daqi again."

"What?" General Wu was so startled that he dropped the jade paperweight in his hand, and the other two lieutenants also stared wide-eyed, and the clothes inside the armor were instantly soaked in cold sweat.It turned out that Beiman had such a plan. If there was no such thing as Princess Zhongshan, wouldn't it be that there is already a war raging here in Juncheng.The Northern Man was well prepared, but they were defenseless. The odds of winning were less than [-]%. If they were unlucky, the city would have been destroyed long ago...

"You bastard! Why didn't the spies come back early for such a big matter?" Deputy General Zhang became angry, causing the general to explain to his subordinates, "The spies planned to report back immediately, but they happened to meet Zhongshan. It took a few more days for the concubine to be plundered. But it was also because of this that I heard the great news of King Zhongshan's treason from the mouths of the two Fujins of the second prince of Beiman."

General Wu frowned and thought for a long time before he waved his hand and asked cautiously, "Is the news from the woman reliable?"

"It's probably not wrong. The two women were very annoyed because the second prince doted on Princess Zhongshan. They deliberately found trouble and suffered a loss. They lost their vigilance after being drunk, so they leaked their words."

"Slap!" General Wu slapped the sandalwood table angrily, and said angrily, "This damn king of Zhongshan comes to the door every day, forcing me to dare not even hunt. I didn't expect that he secretly wanted to join the enemy. Food and grass, disregarding the entire Daqi country for a woman! It's really hateful!"

Vice-General Zhang also echoed, "The general is right. Who can guarantee that the barbarians will not invade Daqi after they get food and grass. If they use these grains as military rations, wouldn't they be even more powerful?"

"That is, the general should immediately report to the imperial court to inform the world of King Zhongshan's behavior." The partial general was also filled with righteous indignation, but Lieutenant General Li, who had never spoken, had a different opinion.

He coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then he cupped his hands and said to General Wu, "General, my subordinates feel that this matter cannot be brought up to the court. If the trick is taken, the general may earn a lot of credit."

"Credit?" General Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, leaking all his light, and asked, "What did General Li say?"

Lieutenant General Li understood, but he still said, "General, the king of Zhongshan is the first-rank king of Daqi, and the matter involves serious crimes such as treason. If there is no real evidence, it will be difficult for the general to win the trust of the emperor. Why don't we make a long-term plan. When the King of Zhongshan traded with the Northern Man, he caught the current situation and even sent troops to attack the Northern Man by surprise. At that time, when the witnesses and material evidence were all ready, he sent the heads of some barbarian soldiers to Beijing. The general successfully repelled the Northern Man's invasion and captured the enemy again. Ghost, if the emperor doesn't reward the general with a marquis, the general will be the first to scold him for being partial!"

Hearing this, not to mention General Wu, even Vice General Zhang became excited, "General Li is worthy of being the brains of our frontier army. This strategy is really cruel. A few days ago, there was news in the court that the Crown Princess is pregnant. , Xu is that the emperor now also feels that Zhongshan is a needle in the eye and a thorn in the palm. We have done the emperor a big favor!"

That general was also clever, and asked for orders first, "General, give the order! This is the time to make meritorious deeds!"

"Haha!" General Wu laughed loudly, stood up and responded proudly, "It's really a blessing for us to have such capable and tough generals in our border guards!"

"Praise the general!" Lieutenant Li and the three bowed in unison, "Please give the order, general!"

"Okay, Lieutenant General Li listens to the order!"

"From now on, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, A-level combat readiness! Once the time comes, send troops immediately!"

"Yes!"

"General Chi Pian listened to the order and sent people to stare at the place where King Zhongshan lived temporarily. If there is any news, report back at any time!"

"Yes!"

Orders were issued from General Wu's mouth, and a big net was cast out immediately, just waiting to quietly catch big fish in his arms, prosperity and wealth seemed to be as easy as one's fingertips.

Don't you know that rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and big fish will naturally flop twice, and the result depends on whether the big fish is strong or the fishing net is strong enough.

Murong Huaide was standing by the window at the moment, listening to Jia Yi's report while blowing the cold wind.For some reason, his heart trembled for no reason, and an inexplicable crisis crept into his heart, causing him to frown uncontrollably.

When A saw this, he thought the north wind was too cold, so he hurried forward and closed the window, and comforted him, "My lord, the mistress has a second prince to take care of her in Beiman, so she will not be wronged. You must take care of your health, the food is already gone." Eighty percent of the money is collected, and the day of the transaction is about to come, if you fall ill, what should you do?"
