Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 484 Are You Stupid?

Tu Su Qingli in Yutang Palace became more and more anxious day by day. Her foot injury healed, and she took the opportunity to walk around the palace a few times. Not to mention Baili Junyi, she didn't even meet anyone other than the maid.

Now she has become popular in the hearts of everyone in the palace, and many concubines and concubines who are idle and boring even bet to see when she will get tired of shopping and stop tossing around like this.

Hong Ling obeyed the order to investigate the surrounding maids, not to mention, she really let her find out the clues.When Tu Su Qingli was out for a walk, a court lady tried to get close to her several times, all because of the people sent by Hongling to guard her but failed.After she reported the news to Shen Ninghua, Shen Ninghua asked someone to leave a loophole.

Sure enough, within a few days, Tu Su Qingli stopped visiting the palace, which made a few concubines and concubines of the former emperor who were very idle sigh, she stopped visiting, but there was much less excitement to watch.

In the back bedroom, Shen Ninghua listened to Hong Ling's report, put the hairpin in her hand aside, and couldn't help but paused slightly: "You mean, the person who secretly contacted Tu Su Qingli was instructed by Baili Jinyu and Baili Jinjing ?”

"Yes, that court lady has been in the palace for many years. In the early years, she received the favor of the late Empress Dowager Li. Some time ago, the two princes were imprisoned in the clan mansion. She tried to inquire about the situation many times, but failed. Recently, Someone suddenly contacted her and asked her to help Tu Su Qingli, and now she is moving around, thinking of being transferred to Yutangdian."

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly: "Now the emperor's harem has only me and a queen, and there are no other concubines, and I am bound by the affairs of the previous dynasty. The situation is not as easy as before."

Hong Ling nodded, she is in charge of intelligence collection, so she naturally needs to know more about the news: "Your Majesty is absolutely right, from the imperial concubine Qi and others in the harem to the maids and eunuchs who clean up, there is absolutely no interest behind it. There are very few people, even ordinary palace people have many interests behind them, and seriously, the relationship network is much more complicated than before."

"It's just right, now I also have some free time, let's deal with it together, don't let the palace be full of smog all day long."

"Your Majesty, do you want to restrain that maid for questioning?"

"No need, isn't that lady in the palace moving around and wants to be transferred to Yutangdian? Someone will help her secretly, don't show any tricks, and transfer her there. Now, she is afraid that she is just getting in touch, so she won't be able to ask questions. If there is any useful content, it is better to put a long line to catch big fish.”

Hong Ling nodded: "Yes, the servant girl will arrange it now."

At this time, in the northwest border, Baili Jinchuan received the order to continue the attack, so he called Han Qi and others in: "Da Viet asked for peace talks, but the emperor doesn't seem to want to let them go so easily, so he ordered To capture the neighboring cities of Dayue Kingdom, even if there are peace talks, Da'an Kingdom must have the upper hand!"

Han Qi and the others nodded when they heard this. They are military generals, and they don’t have so many complicated thoughts. Whoever can quarrel with you with their fists, hit them first and then say: "Prince De, your body has suffered from an old disease, and you have not fully recovered yet. Recovery, if you have anything to do, just order it, and let the last general wait for others to do it."

"Well," Baili Jinchuan nodded, with an abnormal paleness on his face, "but what happened in the military camp of Dayue Kingdom?"

Ye Yi stepped forward. Ever since Baili Jinchuan came to the border, he had received an order from Shen Ninghua to temporarily obey Prince Yu De's orders to help collect some information. At this time, he reported the results of his investigation:
"Back to Prince De, the subordinates sent people to investigate. The sixth prince of Dayue Kingdom, Bu Jinglan, together with Princess Bu Tinghe, put Queen Jin under house arrest. He wanted to seize the supreme command of the army of Dayue Kingdom, which caused turmoil in the army. Now Queen Jin Has been placed under house arrest, and the army of Dai Viet is temporarily commanded by the sixth prince. However, because of the actions of the other princes in the country, it seems that the sixth prince Bu Jinglan does not want to continue the war of attrition on the border, but wants to use the army to suppress the other princes , won the throne."

Baili Jinchuan nodded. Bu Jinglan took advantage of his advantages in the army. It can be said that he had the advantage at this time. After all, although the other princes of Dayue Kingdom had fiefdoms and private troops, they were not as good as the regular army of Dayue Kingdom. It can't be compared at all. Bu Jinglan has taken control of the army in Queen Jin's hands, so it can be said that victory is in sight.

However, if the fight with Da'an Kingdom continues and the consumption is huge, then it is unknown who will win and who will lose in the end. That's why Bu Jinglan is so anxious to negotiate peace.

When Baili Jinchuan and others were discussing the next battle plan, the guard at the door walked in with a feathered arrow: "Prince Hui Bingde, I just found this feathered arrow not far from the camp. A strip of cloth, indicating that it will be handed over to you."

Baili Jinchuan frowned, and looked down, his expression a little turbulent: This is Bu Tinghe's handwriting!Thinking of Bu Tinghe, disgust flashed in his eyes. He was already under extraordinarily careful guard, but she still escaped and caused such a big disturbance between the two countries, specifying that Shen Ninghua should be abolished. She still hasn't learned enough.

He casually threw the cloth strip aside, and waited until Han Qi and the others were almost done discussing, then he went out alone with the cloth strip.Suicheng has lost the slightest sense of despair. The food relief and the successive victories of the Da'an army made the people in the city rejoice.

He changed into ordinary navy blue clothes, and asked Ye Yi to find a few people to protect him secretly, and then he left the city gate and went to the woods not far away.

At this time, in the woods, Bu Tinghe was standing quietly in an open space. Seeing Baili Jinchuan approaching, her eyes lit up: "Master, I thought you wouldn't come!"

"What do you want to see me?"

Looking at his still handsome face, Bu Tinghe couldn't help but feel a little crazy in his eyes: "Master, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and you didn't ask me how I was doing when you saw me?"

"You made waves in the country of Dayue and disturbed the peace inside and outside the country. Naturally, you have a very good life."

Bu Tinghe took two steps forward: "Master, I'm not doing well, I miss you every day and every night..."

Baili Jinchuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes were full of disgust: "Go away, what is the matter you came to me, this king doesn't have time to play tricks with you."

Bu Tinghe lowered her head, and the light in her eyes flickered: "Master, you are still so unfeeling... I am looking for you, of course I miss you and want to meet you, can't this work?"

Baili Jinchuan turned around and left.Bu Tinghe gritted her teeth secretly: "Baili Jinchuan, stop!"

"Hehe, don't pretend now?"

"You...I came to you because I want to form an alliance with you." Bu Tinghe revealed her purpose, "You have also seen that the Da Viet and Da'an countries are not at peace now, which is the best way to achieve great things." Timing, you have never given up on Shen Ninghua, right? As long as we are united, you support my Sixth Brother to seize the throne, and my country of Great Viet supports you in fighting for power. Can!"

"Alliance?" Baili Jinchuan looked at the confidence in Bu Tinghe's eyes, full of sarcasm. She seemed to be sure that she would accept her olive branch. Where did the confidence come from?

"That's right." After staying in Da'an for so long, Bu Tinghe thought she knew Baili Jinchuan well, and he had formed an obsession with Shen Ninghua, which was enough for him to pursue it with all his strength, no matter what he paid. cost.

"My sixth brother has already controlled the command of the army. As long as the rebellion of the other princes is quelled, he will be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. And you, you don't need to do too much, as long as you ensure that the border of Da'an country does not move, it is considered a help." You are very busy. When the sixth brother succeeds to the throne, he will help you defeat Baili Junyi and win the throne!"

Baili Jinchuan sneered: "Why should I trust you? Why should I believe that Bu Jinglan will not forget the current agreement after seizing power?"

"We can make a deed."

"Things that fall on the paper, burn them and they will be gone."

"Then what do you want?" Bu Tinghe asked coldly.

"Only when I see the actual benefits, can I rest assured that several cities near the northwest of Dayue Kingdom will be mortgaged."

"Use the city as a mortgage?" Bu Tinghe frowned.

Baili Jinchuan said, "That's right, first let my people capture the cities near the northwest, and then I will help you fulfill your wish. When Bu Jinglan ascends the throne and he fulfills his promise, I will return the cities. Otherwise, I would not have worked in vain."

"It's impossible." Bu Tinghe directly refused.

Baili Jinchuan sneered, then turned and left.

"Wait!" Bu Tinghe called to stop him, "I'll go back and discuss with Brother Six."

"Well, then you can discuss it carefully. I don't have much patience. If the discussion is not good, then don't blame me for leading troops to attack directly!"

Seeing the back of Baili Jinchuan leaving, Bu Tinghe gritted her teeth violently, her eyes were full of resentment, this was a strategy she came up with, she wanted to use Baili Jinchuan to stabilize the border first, and wait until Bu Jinglan seized power, and then go back To use troops against Da'an, when the time comes, Shen Ninghua, Baili Junyi and other talents must be abolished.

Unexpectedly, Baili Jinchuan actually asked to use the city as collateral.You need to think about this matter carefully.

When Baili Jinchuan returned to the camp, the person secretly responsible for protecting him immediately told Ye Yi what had happened.When Ye Yi came to Baili Jinchuan's camp, he couldn't help hesitating: "My lord, you asked your subordinates to send someone to protect you today, in order for them to report this news to the emperor?"

Baili Jinchuan knew that the people he sent were all loyal to the emperor, and still asked him for protection, so he must not have been moved by Bu Tinghe's proposal.

Baili Jinchuan glanced at Ye Yi, and curled his lips coldly: "The emperor has many good subordinates. You can report this matter to the emperor, and I will pretend to agree to Bu Tinghe's proposal. Then send troops to attack the nearby cities."

"Why are you doing this?" Ye Yi was a little puzzled.

Baili Jinchuan snorted coldly: "If you can take down several cities without spending a single soldier, who would take the soldiers to fight desperately and refuse to eat the pies delivered to your door, isn't it stupid?"
