Chapter 420 Opportunities and risks coexist
Shen Mingjiao and his party passed the shortcut provided by the head of the Shui tribe, and successfully left the Shenwu village. After the guards sent Xiuxiu back to the Miao nationality, the group found an inn in Wenshan City to stay.
Haitang helped Shen Mingjiao wring out her hair, and asked curiously, "Where shall we go next?"
Shen Mingjiao leaned lazily in front of the dressing table: "Since the matter is done, it is natural to return to Qingzhou."
She came here mainly to find out about those stones and about her hypnosis. Although she doesn't fully understand it now, she can guess it well.
If you want to know more, I'm afraid you can only catch Qingyao, or go to the Royal Library to find records about the great wizard Yaoguang.
The former is obviously not easy to do by relying on them alone. In this case, it is better to go back to Qingzhou honestly.
"I don't know how the Southwest War is going?"
Bringing this up, she couldn't help worrying about Feng Lisheng's safety. This war epidemic is different from the past, not only to find a way to repel the enemy, but also to deal with the prince's conspiracy.
At this time, Yun Shu knocked on the door: "Madam, our food is ready, should Xiao Er deliver it directly or eat it in the lobby?"
"Let's eat in the lobby, there are so many people."
The main reason is that Feng Lisheng might be in danger, so she has no appetite, so how can she hurry without eating?
But she couldn't finish the meal in the end. When the three of Shen Mingjiao came to the lobby, the rest of them had already arrived.
When everyone saw her, their faces flickered and were dignified. Shen Mingjiao opened the chair and sat down, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What happened, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"
The doctor Wu coughed lightly, and was about to answer, but Shen Mingjiao had already heard the discussion of the guests in the lobby one step ahead:
"Hey, have you heard that? His Royal Highness King Su, he..."
This place is not far from the southwestern border, and with the help of people with good intentions, the news is also the most powerful.
Shen Mingjiao's face darkened little by little, and the chopsticks she just picked up fell with a clatter.
Yun Shu hurriedly patted her on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry. Rumors are always inaccurate, maybe this is just misinformation..."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand, started to do it again, and quietly listened to the discussion of everyone in the lobby with lowered eyes.
She knew that if Feng Lisheng really had nothing to do, no one would dare to spread rumors like this.
She stood up: "Let's go directly to Moon City." Moon City is where the Southwest Army is located.
Several people know that the situation is urgent, so naturally it doesn't make sense.
However, as soon as the group got on the official road, a carrier pigeon flew over.
The guard took off the bamboo tube hanging from the pigeon's neck.
"Madam, it's a letter from Qingzhou."
Shen Mingjiao eagerly took over the bamboo tube. When they left Qingzhou, just in case, Shen Mingjiao told the guards who stayed in Qingzhou that any letter from Li Sheng must be forwarded to her.
It's just that after she read Feng Li Sheng's letter, his face turned pale in an instant, and the curled letter paper fell from his hand.
Yun Shu helped pick up the letter paper, and after glancing at the content on it, she was also taken aback, organized her words a bit, and comforted her gently: "There must be some misunderstanding, His Highness, he is not that kind of person..."
This is exactly the letter that Qingyu replaced.
Shen Mingjiao didn't raise her eyes, and interrupted her lightly: "It's fake."
When she said this, there was no hesitation in her tone.
Yun Shu was taken aback for a moment: "Madam, what do you mean, there is something wrong with this letter?"
Shen Mingjiao took a deep breath: "Judging from the handwriting, the other party's imitation is not bad. It is estimated that even His Highness may not be able to tell the difference."
But the other party obviously didn't understand Feng Lisheng's character.
He never likes to do meaningless things, and he always writes concisely and to the point, without saying a word of nonsense.
Even if that Dr. Shen was really kind to him, he would not specifically mention it in the letter. He just sorts things out quickly.
Taking a step back, even if this letter was really written by Feng Lisheng herself, she would not believe a word of it. The two of them have been together for so many years in the past and present, and Feng Lisheng is not only her husband, but also her husband. The most important person in her life.
Things like this kind of estrangement and suspicion will never happen between the two of them when others just use some means to provoke them casually. She believed that Feng Lisheng was the same.
For example, if one day Shen Mingjiao was caught raped in bed, Feng Li Sheng's first thought would definitely not be to suspect that she was unclean, but to worry that Shen Mingjiao would be in danger.
She clenched her fingers tightly. If he was lucky before, then the appearance of this letter completely confirmed that something happened to Feng Lisheng.
She got out of the carriage and changed to riding a horse, signaling the guards to lead the way:
"It's too slow to take the carriage, Ah Cai, you should be able to contact Feng Wu and the others, try to contact them."
Haitang caught up and handed over a pack of jerky: "Girl, you should eat some, otherwise you really won't be able to keep going like this."
Shen Mingjiao took the jerky and barely ate a few pieces. A group of people changed to riding horses, bringing the speed to the extreme.
The amazing thing is that despite Shen Mingjiao's physical strength in the past, she would be exhausted after running for a few steps, but this time she has been on the road for an entire afternoon, and she seems to be fine.
Haitang was terrified: "Girl...how about we take a break! Please..."
Fortunately, not long after, they happened to meet Feng Wu and his party who planned to go to the Miao people to hunt down Qingyao. As soon as the two parties met, Shen Mingjiao asked eagerly: "What's going on, where is Your Highness?"
Feng Wu didn't care to be surprised by Shen Mingjiao's appearance, and hurriedly explained the cause and effect carefully.
Shen Mingjiao and the others didn't know what to say after listening. "So His Highness was finally taken away by that nurse Shen?"
Shen Mingjiao quickly analyzed the whole story of what Feng Wu said in her head, raised her head for a while, and asked, "Are you planning to go to Shenwu Village to catch Qingyao?"
Feng Wu nodded: "We checked that Dr. Shen, she appeared out of thin air by borrowing someone else's identity. But what is certain is that she and Qing Yao are in the same group.
So as long as Qing Yao is caught, he should be able to know the whereabouts of His Highness. "
Shen Mingjiao shook his head with serious eyes: "You don't have to go, Qingyao is absolutely impossible to stay in Shenwu Village now."
If it is said that she did not go to that cave before, and did not loot all the things in the cave, then Qing Yao would really stay in Shenwu Village to recuperate.
But after Qingyao returns to Shenwu Village this time, as long as she enters the cave, she will guess that they have already been to Shenwu Village.
In this way, Qing Yao will also know that her whereabouts have been exposed in a disguised form. Under such circumstances, why would she stay in Shenwuzhai and wait for them to catch her?
After listening to Shen Mingjiao's explanation, Feng Wu was also silent: "Then where are we going to find His Highness next? Should we go to Gaochang?"
After all, Qing Yao's current identity is Queen Gaochang.
Shen Mingjiao shook her head: "No, the other party can naturally think of the things we can think of. The other party has so many eyeliners in Daxia, and there is a prince in the court. If she wants to hide on purpose, it will be difficult for us to find someone in a short time. .”
She looked in the direction of the border, and quietly said: "Right now, I can only find a way to lure people out.
Aside all this, Qingyao must be the one who wants to catch me most now, she wants to use my blood to practice Gu. "
After listening to Shen Mingjiao's plan, Feng Wu shook his head and refused without thinking:
"No, it's too dangerous. Your Highness has already had an accident. If you have another accident..."
Shen Mingjiao asked him back: "Then tell me, besides doing this, what's the fastest way to find Qingyao?"
Feng Wu naturally knew that this could force Qing Yao to appear as much as possible, but he still hesitated:
"This is too risky. You also said that Qing Yao must be wary of us this time. If you want to use yourself as a bait to lure the other party, you will definitely create an illusion of being weak, that is to say , none of us can follow you."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "There is no way, opportunities and risks coexist, this is the best way now, I can never do nothing because of danger."
She took a breath: "Now we should be thankful that, according to what you said, that Dr. Shen is interested in His Highness. This can at least guarantee that His Highness's life will be safe, and it will buy us time."
…
Shen Mingjiao's idea is very simple, that is to use herself as bait to lure Qing Yao and others who are hiding in the dark to catch her,
Of course, as Feng Wu said, Qingyao can toss so many things in secret, and the other party is wary of them, obviously it is impossible to be fooled so easily.
Therefore, this scene must be played realistically,
The next day, Shen Mingjiao took off her disguise and swaggered to Moon City.
She obviously just got the news, and hurried to the Southwest Military Camp with only two maidservants and a few guards.
But he was stopped at the door, and the soldier guarding the door wiped his sweat and said in embarrassment:
"...Princess, I'm sorry, women are not allowed to enter the important military camp."
Speak seriously. There is indeed such a rule, but as the saying goes, rules are dead, and exceptions can naturally be made in certain special periods, such as the former doctor Shen.
This was also deliberately arranged by Feng Wu, in order to make things worse.
Shen Mingjiao laughed sarcastically, and deliberately raised her voice: "What? This is someone who is taking tea!
It's really funny. Your chief general disappeared for no reason. You didn't think about finding someone at the first time, nor did you speculate whether something happened to him. Instead, you said that he pretended to be missing, but in fact he defected to the enemy country and wanted to become king himself. Ah! This is really the biggest joke of the year!
Let me ask you again, if my husband really has the heart of disobedience, can you still stand here in peace?
He entered the military camp at the age of fourteen, led the troops to defeat Beidi at the age of eighteen, and for the first time broke the epidemic of the Central Plains cavalry defeating the northern nomads with scars all over his body. For the next seven years, thanks to His Majesty's trust, he was in charge of most of the soldiers and horses of Daxia. "
She raised her head proudly: "If he really has the heart of disobedience, with his ability, why should he rely on the power of the defeated country!"
Speaking of this, her voice suddenly lowered: "If something really happens to my husband this time, how will historians record it thousands of years later?
The God of War general who became famous at a young age did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of the Daxia people he guarded with his life, and died under the conspiracy and instigation of Xiao Xiaozhi's generation. It's really ironic! "
This remark was just for acting, but as she talked, she shed tears unconsciously,
After she said this, the eyes of the soldiers who heard it in the barracks couldn't help but turn red. Except for those who were instigated or had a different heart, most of them were still rational, but they were all just ordinary people. Letters and other tangible evidence have inevitably shaken many people's minds.
In addition, people in the world love and sympathize with the weak, so when Shen Mingjiao cried like this, everyone inevitably felt bad.
The two soldiers who were blocking them gritted their teeth and stepped out of the way.
Shen Mingjiao paused, wiped away tears, and went straight in.
Seeing her, all the soldiers bowed their heads, and immediately gave her a standard military salute with fists folded.
She made such a fuss, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. A figure flashed not far away, and then she turned left and right in the city, and came to a remote house deep in a dark alley.
Go to have a meal first, come back and continue coding**
