Chapter 654 Turning Point
"If that's the case, Lord Xiao, please don't blame me for calling me foolish and loyal. This court has been rotten to the root, and everyone says that in troubled times, heavy codes must be used, and what can't be broken can't be established. Master Xiao's loyalty can be achieved by rambling, even if it can be achieved. It’s just repeating the same mistakes. Does Lord Xiao still want to watch the brothers in the army fight desperately on the battlefield, but they can’t even eat enough to eat, and they can’t wear warm clothes again and again? Or has Lord Xiao not seen enough of the people’s food and hunger, The tragedy of a typical woman eating for a prostitute and having a son?"

She is obviously such a sweet woman, but every word she utters is so cold and hard that it makes people feel intimidated. It's not that she is afraid of her, but that the pictures in her words are all in front of her eyes, which makes people feel afraid. shudder.

Just now all the sneer and disdain on Xiao Jing's face dissipated, such a burly man was sitting at the table with a look of bewilderment and bewilderment.

Ye Xinyi felt that the heat was almost ready, so he gave Xia Yanfeng a wink.

Xia Yanfeng was shocked by what happened just now, and he became more and more determined not to provoke the couple Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi easily in the future, but he didn't see Ye Xinyi winking at him in a daze.

Ye Xinyi frowned, and coughed lightly at him twice, and then he came to his senses, cleared his throat and hurriedly said, "I heard that when Lord Xiao was in the northwest, he served under General Qiu Zhengqiu's tent. Colonel? Master Xiao respected General Qiu the most at that time, and of course, General Qiu also gave Master Xiao a lot of money, and supported him a lot?"

Xiao Jing raised his eyes, but did not answer, but frowned suspiciously and guardedly.

Naturally, there was no need for him to answer, since Xia Yanfeng opened his mouth, he had already found out. "So I thought, Mr. Xiao should listen to General Qiu's words, right?"

What does he mean?Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows.

However, Xia Yanfeng had already taken out a letter from his jacket, the red paint was still fresh, "So, I specially wrote to General Qiu, asking him to send a letter in hand, and Lord Xiao to read it."

The letter was handed to Xiao Jing, the handwriting on the envelope was painted with silver hooks, the strokes were sharp, but very familiar, it was from Qiu Zheng's hand.

Others don't know that Qiu Zheng is not only his boss, he also calls him a "mentor" in private. His military tactics, even the horse leather shroud, and the military integrity of the Qingshan buried bones are all inherited from him. Xiao Jing looked at the letter for a while. Xin, stunned for a while without moving.

Ye Xinyi winked at Xia Yanfeng again, and then said, "Lord Xiao, please read the letter, we will not bother you for the time being. Master Xiao must think about what he just said to Master Xiao."

Xia Yanfeng understood, and gently placed the letter on the table by Xiao Jing's hand, then straightened up and said, "Lord Xiao, take your leave."

The two turned around and walked down the deck.

After arriving in the cabin, they stopped and turned their heads to look out of the cabin through the narrow window.

Looking over from here, one can just see the deck and see the people sitting on the deck.

Xiao Jing was still sitting dumbly like when they left just now, looking down at the letter, he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't move, and he didn't reach out to get the letter.

Xia Yanfeng frowned, "Will this be useful?" For today, they have made a lot of preparations, if they fail here, all their hard work was in vain.

"Whether it's useful or not can't be seen until we see it?" Ye Xinyi was always confident and free and easy, anyway, he did everything he could, and the result was beyond their control. "After all, it's not a trivial matter. And our Master Xiao has always been upright. I'm afraid that what he insists on can't be broken so easily." Unless there is a stronger force than this that makes him believe in it and is desperate for it, to make him change.

At this moment, Xiao Jing finally moved, but reached out to pick up the letter, paused again, then opened the letter, and the letter spread out in front of his eyes.

Xia Yanfeng let out a long breath, and Ye Xinyi also curled up his mouth and laughed.

Although I don't know the result yet, at least this is a good turning point.

Five days later, the capital.

It was another sunny day, and the autumn tiger hung high in the sky, scorching the earth.Although it is not possible to sweat profusely without moving like a few days ago, it is still too hot to make people want to move, especially in such an afternoon, even the flowers and plants in the yard are drooping, let alone people. Woolen cloth.

But in such an autumn afternoon when even the cats and dogs are reluctant to move, nestling in the shade of the corner to enjoy the shade, there are hurried footsteps in the quiet courtyard.

It was Zhu Jingyu's personal guard, Fang Nan, who came in from the outside in a hurry, his steps were fast and heavy, his forehead and temples were covered with sweat, and he didn't know whether it was from the heat or the rush.

In a blink of an eye, he entered Zhu Jingyu's study room, but the latter didn't know what he was looking at at his desk. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and gave a faint glance, "What's the matter?"

Fang Nan handed over a letter in his hand and said, "My lord, a letter from Nanjing Wei."

Nanjing Wei?Zhu Jingyu raised his eyebrows, and he reached out to take the letter, and quickly opened it to read, and the center of his eyebrows was gathered together.

"Xiao Jing sent a letter asking for help. Sure enough, as I expected, Xia Changhe sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to secretly sneak to the south of the Yangtze River, intending to go straight to the north of the Yangtze River." After reading the letter, Zhu Jingyu lit the secret letter torch, Lifting the lid of the incense burner at hand, watching the paper being swallowed by the flames, he stared at the flames in a daze for a moment, but the next moment, he jumped up suddenly and said, "Go! Go into the palace!"

"What is the son going to the palace for? Besides the secret letter, Xiao Jing should have already reported it to the Ministry of War. You only need to wait a little longer. Your Highness should receive the military report in a short time. At that time, you will definitely call the son into the palace." Discuss this matter." King Ning has now lived in the palace for a long time, except that he has not really ascended the throne, he seems to be the supreme state.

As for the matter of Nanjing Wei earlier, it was all guessed by the young master, and everything was done in secret.Even between him and Xiao Jing, the military order was issued in the name of King Ning, secretly increasing troops and dispatching rations. If this matter cannot be hidden from King Ning, there is no guarantee that King Ning will not think too much about it.

Even if His Royal Highness and Young Master are father and son, once a power struggle is involved, they can't stand the slightest suspicion.

What's more, His Highness is not just a son but a son.The two descendants are always watching and watching.

"This matter cannot be delayed. I will naturally go to the palace to invite my father." Zhu Jingyu said in a calm tone, but he had already bypassed the desk.

"My lord wants to go to the front line?" Fang Nan was surprised.

"Yes! I know the battle situation in Jiangbei. Could it be possible that you want to make a wedding dress for someone else?" Zhu Jingyu snorted faintly, narrowed his phoenix eyes to cover the cold light in his eyes, and took a step forward.

Fang Nan's footsteps paused, and then he followed.Looking up at Zhu Jingyu's back, he couldn't help thinking, is it because His Highness attaches so much importance to the situation in Jiangbei because he wants to gain military merit first?Or is there another reason?Shen Yue and Ye Shi should also be there.
