Red makeup against the world

Chapter 138 Escape
When Qianyang City was built, a secret road was left underground, leading directly to Yunze Lake outside the city.The terrain of this lake is peculiar, and the clouds and fog do not disperse all the year round. Fishermen only dare to fish by the lake.It is said that once you enter, you can't tell the direction in the fog, and you will die, and even the water bandits dare not occupy here.

But King Qianyang sent a dead man into Yunze Lake to investigate the situation, and finally opened up a secret channel in the lake.They also secretly prepared ships, which can pass through Yunze Lake, turn into the densely woven rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, sail to the mouth of the sea, and then flee overseas.

It is precisely because of this retreat that King Qianyang is more confident.From Hosokawa Toko, King Qianyang learned the route to Dongying Kingdom and a lot of information, and the worst plan was to escape to Dongying.It's just that he never expected that things would be revealed so quickly!
After discussing the escape route of King Qianyang's followers, Mr. Lin said: "My lord, Chun Yujun has been staring at the outside of the city, but he has not made a move. I think we are still waiting for the emperor's imperial decree. We still have time. My subordinates suggest, Stay for two more days, pack up the gold and silver, food, grass and armor, etc., now that Japan is in chaos, we need strength to protect ourselves."

King Qianyang looked hesitant, he didn't want to stay in this city for a moment now.The sooner you get out, the sooner you will be safe.

Master Lin said again: "My lord is a dragon and a phoenix among people, but his luck is not good. When he is brought to Dongying, he has soldiers and food. It is a matter of course for the separatist side to become the head of the family. If we attack at the right time, we are expected to unify Dongying."

"Unify Dongying?" His words made Qianyang King's blood boil.That's right, just because I have no place in Gaomang Dynasty, it doesn't mean that I have the same situation in Dongpu.

According to Toko Hosokawa, there are frequent wars in Dongying Kingdom, and the daimyos are fighting each other.With two cities and 2 people, it can be called a party force and compete for the world.If you have a large number of soldiers and good weapons, why worry about nothing?
The already extinguished flames in his eyes blazed up, and he said: "Okay! I will give you two more days, and you should plan carefully, and you must bring all the capital of this king's struggle for hegemony in Dongpu."

Master Lin respectfully bowed his head in response, but concealed a trace of pity in his eyes.

Capital city, inside the palace.

Emperor Qinglong received news from the Yingwei Wind Group and the Rain Group using flying pigeons, saying the same thing: "After verification, the Dongying Assassin is the mastermind behind the Qianyang King." Detailed melodies and evidence Although it is still on the way, this fact has been confirmed.

Long before the shadow guards set off, Emperor Qinglong already had a vague guess in his mind.At this moment, it was just a confirmation, but instead of the shock and disappointment of that day, there was only the emperor's decisive killing.

Quickly made a decision, no longer waiting for the final evidence.He ordered Wu Guangqi to draw up a decree, and spread the decree to Chunyujun at a speed of [-] miles, demoting the king of Qianyang to a commoner.

This decree is still on the way, Jiangnan Dao is like a powder keg, and it will explode at any moment.

However, in the Green Bamboo Garden, there was a piece of good news.

After hearing Xu Le'an's report, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed.Hurrying to the upper room, he said to Mrs. Xu: "Grandmother, good news."

She has always been calm and self-possessed, and it is rare to see such a happy face. Mrs. Xu guessed: "But there is news from the princess?"

Xu Wanzhen nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "Grandmother is really Sai Zhuge, she can guess right. There is a reply from the Princess Mansion, and I can visit tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Xu became happy when she heard this.This is a major matter related to Xu Changzong's case, and the breakthrough is most likely at Princess Zhaoyang's place. She instructed: "Check the gift carefully again, and be neither humble nor overbearing to the princess."

Treating Princess Zhaoyang is like giving a gift, it should be neither heavy nor light, but it is better to have something new.If it was too serious, it would appear that courteous people must ask for something, which made the princess wary; if it was too light, it seemed that the Xu family did not respect the princess enough.If it is too moderate, it will appear insincere.Therefore, gift giving is really a big question.

The grandfather and grandson went through the list of gifts again, Mrs. Xu remembered something, and said: "By the way, you can add the set of quill pens you made when you were in Suzhou to the list."

Xu Wanzhen hesitated and said: "I thought about it, but although the quill pen is novel, it is cheap. Do you think it would be rude? After hesitating a few times, I didn't put it in."

"No," Mrs. Xu affirmed, "Princess Zhaoyang is only sixteen years old. Such a novelty should attract her attention. Besides, there are other gifts on the gift list."

"Okay, grandma, then I'll add it."

Mrs. Xu thought for a while to see if there were any other omissions. She must be very careful when meeting the princess this time. She must let Xu Wanzhen leave a good impression on the princess and strive for a second chance to meet her. She said: "Going out this time, To avoid accidents, you take Han Yi with you."

Xu Wanzhen nodded, and the two agreed on some details of the visit.

Outside the door, Mrs. Wu came to invite her in person, and said, "Madam, please come over, old lady!"

"Oh?" Come to invite me at this time, it should be something to discuss.

Xu Wanzhen showed a confident smile and said, "Grandmother, go and do your work first, I will arrange the rest by myself, please rest assured."

When Mrs. Xu arrived at "Songtao Courtyard", she saw Mrs. Tu holding a letter, she thought for a while, and said, "Father, has there been a reply from the third cousin?"

Old Master Tu nodded and said with a smile, "That's a good guess."

Seeing his relaxed expression, Mrs. Xu asked with a smile: "But you agree?"

Mrs. Tu twirled his beard, handed the letter to her, and said, "They have already left, Mengzhou is not far away, and it is estimated that they will arrive in twenty days or so. What are your plans?"

Mrs. Xu took the letter and quickly scanned it. The letter was written by the third cousin himself.

The third cousin and his wife are just over [-] now, and their family is well-off, with about [-] acres of paddy fields and a rice noodle workshop.However, due to the lack of heirs under his knees, he finally got a son, but he has always been weak.Carefully raised this single seedling until it reached adulthood, and married a wife again, but she couldn't get sick, and she left without even giving birth to a child.

When Mrs. Xu was in Jiangnan Road, the third cousin brought his son to Jiangnan to look for famous doctors, and came to Xu's residence for a few days.Unexpectedly, within a few years after he returned to Beijing, Mrs. Xu heard the news that his son died of illness after marrying a wife, and she was very sad.

The couple also had a daughter under their knees. They originally thought that after the only daughter got married, they would be able to adopt a grandson and inherit the lineage.But after the daughter got married, she gave birth to a son, and the rest were daughters, so she had to let go of the adoption that she had agreed with her husband's family.Seeing that the third cousin's family is about to die out, there is no one to inherit the family business.

Mrs. Xu's proposal in the letter was to recognize Han Runiang under the name of her third cousin and daughter-in-law, so that she would have some comfort from being a widow for many years.

Therefore, the third cousin's request is very simple, it is no problem to recognize Han Runiang as a granddaughter, but the son she will give birth to in the future needs to adopt one back to the Tu family, inherit the family business, and support them until their death.

Mrs. Xu pondered for a moment, to the He family, it didn't matter if a concubine gave birth to a son, the second son of He already had a son.But this matter still needs to be asked to the Second Young Master He, and he cannot make decisions without authorization.Said: "I need to ask Mr. He about this matter, and then I will make a fuss."

"Well, it's a matter of heirs, so it needs to be treated with caution." Old Master Tu agreed.

Back at Qingzhuyuan, Mrs. Xu wrote a letter to Second Young Master He, and attached the third cousin's letter to it, and put them together in an envelope.This letter is of great importance. If it is leaked out, it will directly affect the relationship between Xu and He. Who will deliver it?
