Many people were dumbfounded, amazed, and speechless at those secret reports, but there were even more people who kept shaking their heads and snorting at the last news.
"But the Fifteen Gang will underestimate the enemy, took advantage of her loopholes, and won a few games, that's all. That's how frivolous it is!"
"I really don't know how to accept it! Taking advantage of those small victories and the great power at the moment, I quickly chose a hall at the Raksha Gate and settled down. How dare I make an inch and want the Fifteen Gang to give up the land of the three counties! Such a rich place is also the key to seizing Shangyuan, those big bosses who have been entrenched for many years, how dare they spit out the fat in their mouths!"
"The so-called self-satisfaction, arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"
"She has always been this virtuous, but now it seems that she has not changed at all, the old man is relieved!"
Most of the comments below come from Dige, who is also one of the people who are most afraid of the queen and don't want her to rise.
Especially when they heard that Fei Luo was dismissed and expelled from Xiangguo, and Xuanyuan's family suddenly changed their useless patriarch, and Xuanyuan mirror was disabled.
Not too many people know the truth about Fei Luo's expulsion, but everyone knows that what happened to Xuanyuan's family was the hand of the Queen.
Thinking of how this woman could kill Xuanyuan's family on the way to being kicked out of Dige in embarrassment, all the officials felt chills on their backs, and countless people burned incense every day, praying for gods and Buddhas to show their spirits, and let this woman die on the road. Or as soon as they enter the tortoise shell, they will die under the pressure of the sixteen gangs.
Everyone especially pinned their hopes on the latter, because no matter how you look at it, the queen, who is weak and weak, cannot compete with the sixteen gangs of local snakes. Now when they heard that the queen had actually seized the territory in the tortoise shell, everyone was unbelievable and at the same time full of uneasiness. If it wasn't really beyond their reach, they all wished to rush to the tortoise shell and strangle her to death.
Those officials who have business and connections in the tortoise shell, and even have secret connections with the gang, are actively writing letters to the tortoise shell, offering money and goods to others, and trying to strangle the queen in the bud before she can fully gain a foothold...
But it didn't take long for the new explosive news to destroy their hopes again, casting a deep shadow over their hearts again.
"...The queen entered the three counties, and within a few days fought with the fifteen gangs one after another, winning consecutive battles!"
"The Seven Great Gangs withdrew from the three counties one after another! Call back all the nearby gangs!"
"Try the Sword League and the Dragon Tiger League to withdraw from the three counties!"
I heard that when the seven major gangs withdrew from the three counties, everyone said "It's just a fluke!" When they heard that the two alliances also started to withdraw, everyone fell into silence, but they still expressed their hope, saying, "Ling Xiao Lingxi is the leader of the tortoiseshell rivers and lakes. For many years, the power has been strong, and it is not comparable to the backward gangs, and it will definitely not give in to the queen who has just risen!"
However, it didn't take long for the news to come again.
"Lingxi Gate exits the three counties!"
"Lingxiao Gate withdraws from the three counties!"
When the last news arrived, even Di Ge seemed to be shaken by the shock.
The storm was stirring, and the world was shocked. It was the first time that the tortoise shell and the power of the tortoise shell had attracted so much attention from the entire wilderness.
In the past, the masters of Dige didn't pay much attention to the self-contained tortoiseshell rivers and lakes. Mountain thugs, what does it matter to me to fight and kill behind closed doors? What's the matter with Guan Dige? But it is different now, every point of power in the tortoiseshell rivers and lakes is subdued, which means that the power of their enemy, the queen, becomes stronger, and their sleep will be less peaceful.
Some people began to send killers to the hawksbill, or contact killers. Like those people who forced the palace in front of Yuzhao Palace Square that day.
Some people laughed at the table, and repeatedly told those students who dare not stand out, to rush to the turtle to help, the queen has risen, and her return can be expected! These people are naturally those sages and veterans who do not hold power but are tired of the great wilderness interest groups fighting for power and profit, such as Chang Fang, such as Qu Ti.
Some people are happy, some are worried, and some don't pay attention at all. In Shen Tie's house, the whole house was immersed in a strange atmosphere.
In the main hall, Tie Xingze was holding a letter, his face was slightly pale, and he remained silent for a long time. The messenger stood in the hall, all in white.
This is a sign of mourning and filial piety.
The letter is just to report the loss of the letter. Patriarch Shen Tie died of a serious illness a few days ago.
Everyone in the whole house quietly watched the main hall with sad expressions, but they couldn't hide their eagerness and anticipation: According to the rules, even protons have the right to write to the national teacher when such a major event as the funeral of their parents occurs, requesting to return to the country for the funeral.
Who doesn't look forward to returning to their hometown among wanderers abroad? Besides, this also involves the position of the future patriarch, how can we not fight for it!
"My lord, you have to make a quick decision..." the messenger reminded cautiously and anxiously.
He is Tie Xingze's confidant who stayed in Shen Tie's department. In order to catch up with time, he traveled day and night, hoping that his son would receive the news as soon as possible and rush back to Shen Tie to preside over the overall situation.
"Yes, you are the son of the patriarch. At this time, you must go back immediately."
Tie Xingze remained silent for a long time, and said in a dilemma for a long time: "The proton's return to the country has too much to do with it. I am the first proton to accept the order and surrender. If I run back first, I am afraid it will make it difficult for the national teacher..."
"Oh, my son, what are you still thinking about the national teacher at this time?" The confidant stumbled, "What is so difficult for the national teacher to do? He has great power and dominates the world. But with a little effort, the courtiers will not take this matter now, they are worrying about the queen who is doing a lot of tortoiseshell!"
When Jing Hengbo was mentioned, Tie Xingze showed a gentle smile in his eyes, and said softly: "It's great that she can do this..."
"My son, don't worry about this or that!" The steward of the Shizi Mansion also said anxiously, "At the beginning, none of the sons was willing to come to Dige as a hostage. The legitimate heir, you have sacrificed so much and suffered so much, will you give it up to someone else in the end?"
"Father made me his heir son just as an expedient measure, he may designate another heir." Tie Xingze had a wry smile on his lips, "I'm not his favorite son..."
"There is no news that your son will be abolished and another heir will be established. The death of the king seems too much..." The confidant swallowed the word "strange" and said anxiously, "In short, we still have hope! My son, write the letter quickly Bar!"
"You have such a friendship with the national teacher, and it is a reasonable funeral, he will agree!"
Eager to persuade, Tie Xingze raised his head and saw faces full of hope in front of him.
Yes, back to Shen Tiebu, it is possible to reach the sky in one step, and even if the battle for the position fails, you will die happily, which is far better than being a proton in Dige who keeps everyone at arm's length and dare not speak out loudly.
More importantly, once the new king ascends the throne, he, the proton, will definitely continue to do so forever, with no return date.
The hope of the subordinates cannot be cut off, and the proton's career as an official is also difficult...
After a long time, he finally sighed.
"Tomorrow, I will write to the National Teacher. Please return to Shen Tie for the funeral."
…
Jingting is always quiet.
In Jingting's study room, the light is getting darker and darker. Most of the time, the national teacher is sitting in that blurred darkness, unable to distinguish his face.
From this, the ministers felt that the national teacher was becoming more and more mysterious.
The national teacher was processing the official documents, and the big leader Menghu stood beside him, personally sorting all kinds of memorials into categories. The bundle he specially sorted out in his hand was news from the tortoiseshell.
The national teacher suddenly handed him a memorial, and Meng Hu looked at the cover "Shen Tie Tie Xingze begged to return to the tribe for the patriarch's funeral". Immediately sealed the memorial separately and handed it to a guard beside him.
They have no right to deal with such things.
When the affairs came to an end, the national teacher said softly: "I want to go out for a walk...in Jingting."
Meng Hu nodded, but after the figure in white went out, he waved his hand to signal for him to follow secretly.
As usual, the national teacher walked around the Jingting court, and sometimes went to Xiao Yinyin's enclosure, took fodder from the servants who were taking care of him, and fed it.
Xiao Yinyin gradually became familiar with him, and sometimes he would come out to arch his legs, and he would lead Xiao Yinyin around the quiet courtyard a few times.
But today Xiao Yinyin seemed a little irritable, she didn't push him, and ran out of Jingting directly.
The servant who was in charge of taking care of him followed, and this little grass mud horse traveled unimpeded in the palace, and often went out for a walk in the quiet courtyard.
This time Xiao Yinyin walked around randomly, the servant was panting after him, suddenly Xiao Yinyin stopped, when the servant raised his head, he saw a pale woman leaning against the palace gate in front of him.
That person was pitifully thin, as pale as paper, but he still wore a red brocade cloak, maybe he wanted to add a bit of brightness to himself, but he didn't know that it made her thinner and shrunken even more.
She stared at Xiao Yinyin with strange eyes. The servant recognized her for a long time before realizing that this was the Queen of Mingcheng.
The queen hadn't appeared in front of the crowd for a long time, the servant's eyes widened, he didn't understand why the charming queen from before had become so inhuman and ghostly after he hadn't seen her for a few months.
But most of the people in Yuzhao Palace didn't have a good opinion of Queen Mingcheng, so the servant hurriedly greeted Xiao Yinyin, greeted Queen Mingcheng and was about to leave.
But the queen said, "This llama... has grown so big..." in a sigh.
The servant made an apologetic smile, but did not dare to approach. This llama is the former queen's favorite pet, and also the national teacher's favorite pet. Everyone in the palace knew about the entanglement between the queen of Mingcheng and the former queen. The servant was afraid that she would come up with an evil nature, and it would be bad if she rushed forward and died with this muddy horse.
It doesn't matter if the queen is dead, but if the grass mud horse dies, many people will be unlucky.
Mingcheng didn't take a step forward, but looked at the grass-mud horse carefully with pity and nostalgia, and said softly: "...I really miss the past..."
The servant lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
It's better not to meddle in the matters of the nobles.
Seeing her showing a miserable and pale smile, her eyes wandering towards the courtyard, the servant suddenly felt strangely uncomfortable, and hastily left again.
The Queen of Mingcheng didn't stay either, she just said: "It's getting cold, your clothes are so thin, you should add a jacket."
The servant didn't want to, the queen's palm was spread out in front of him, it was white and delicate, the fingers were slender, and the fingertips were painted with pink Koudan, like ten small petals, his heart fluttered, and he took it inexplicably.
The queen's sleeves were rolled down, revealing a section of her wrist, pitifully thin.
The queen seemed to still want to touch Xiao Yinyin, so he hurriedly took a step back, thanked him for the reward, and didn't dare to stay any longer, dragging Xiao Yinyin to escape as if to run away.
After walking a long distance and looking back, I could still see the queen standing against the door, with no one serving around her.
In the setting sun, her figure was slanted and long, projecting lonely on the empty palace road.
The servant had a sore nose, and suddenly felt that the queen was very pitiful, and felt that his heart was too hard. The queen's appearance was just to have a few more words with people.
How many people can endure the loneliness in the deep palace, let alone her situation is even worse.
He thought, or next time, when we meet again, if she wants to touch Xiao Yinyin, just give her a touch...
…
The undercurrents of the emperor's songs are undercurrents, and the tortoise shells are vigorous.
It took Jing Hengbo half a month to successfully take over the three counties.
It seems like a miracle, but in fact, only the warring parties know the truth. For the Fifteenth Gang, these three counties have to retreat if they don't retreat. The important arrangements and secrets are in the hands of others. Even if they really fight, they will lose. It is better to preserve their strength.
The fourteen gangs all retreated, which is unprecedented in the history of the tortoiseshell. In the past, some gangs tried to pry the tortoiseshell, but they could not avoid being involved in the mess of the tortoiseshell. They were forced to fight one after another in the siege of the gangs. Continue to accept challenges until exhausted and fail or quit automatically—the tortoiseshell rivers and lakes are full of internal strife, but when they really meet outsiders, they are still consistent with the outside world.
Therefore, the defeat of the fourteen gangs created Jing Hengbo's unparalleled momentum at the moment. At least in the eyes of outsiders, she "comes with power and is invincible".
There were originally fifteen factions in the tortoiseshell rivers and lakes. From the very beginning, the Thirteenth Taibao put on the attitude of "I am the weakest and I don't play", and withdrew from all related battles. There is also a fire alliance, which he did not arrange in the three counties. How many halls, on the contrary, his largest hall is in Dongxin County, which is close to the three counties. After Jing Hengbo occupied the three counties, Dongxin County, where the main force of the Raging Fire League was located, became a buffer zone for Jing Hengbo and the other thirteen gangs.
In this case, the Raging Fire League's status should be very important, and it should be the target of Jing Hengbo and the fifteen gangs. But it was unlucky for Lie Huo Meng to meet the cheating Jing Hengbo. At the King Killing Conference, Jing Hengbo targeted everyone except Meng Lihuo, as if he hadn't seen him. This kind of behavior made people have to suspect that Meng Lihuo and Jing Hengbo had colluded before. Most of the thirteen gangs were hostile to the Raging Fire League, and some even shouted slogans of incompatibility. After Meng Lihuo returned to the main altar, he was tired of dealing with the overt and secret attacks from the thirteen gangs, so he didn't have the heart to fight against Jing Hengbo.
Jing Hengbo solved the stumbling block of the Raging Fire League with a counter-measure. Of course, this is temporary, so that Meng Lihuo can't trouble her for the time being, but as long as no one trips her during the initial stage of her turf, she will have more chances to stand firm as soon as possible, and then one more Clean up slowly.
Throughout the process of grabbing territory, Pei Shu showed the new style of the Tyrannosaurus in the new era. Wherever he passed, no one was left alive, and the sea of blood was so overwhelming that some gangs heard that he was the one who brought people here after the fight. Immediately leave the empty hall and exit directly.
Pei Shu's fierce reputation spread rapidly among the tortoise shells, which can stop children from crying at night.
The famous commander of the gold department came back and seemed to be reduced to a gangster, but everyone knew that Jing Hengbo would not obediently be the queen of black water in the tortoise shell, and Pei Shu must be her number one reserve general.
At this time, Jing Hengbo's body was shaken, and his domineering aura broke out. While fighting non-stop, he also chose a site to build a palace.
She asked the Xuanyuan family to provide her with the best craftsmen, and brought gold from Sky Ash Valley. Money and people were no problem, and she started building.
The construction of the palace required workers, and they were recruited locally, and the wages were generous. Many people responded one after another, and even some low-level gang members came here. Her subordinates suddenly became more enthusiastic.
The drawings thrown out by Her Majesty the Queen made everyone even more dumbfounded - the name of her palace is still called Shangyuan Palace!
Shangyuan City already has a Shangyuan Palace. Everyone thought that if Her Majesty the Queen seized the three counties, the next step would be to capture the Shangyuan Palace. Can make a comeback.
Now looking at what the queen meant, she actually planned to build a palace in three counties. The palace was chosen in Ningjin County, which is the closest to Shangyuan City.
The outermost part of her palace is almost close to Shangyuan City. As long as the walls are expanded, Shangyuan City can be enclosed!
At this moment, the Queen's ambition is clearly revealed—she doesn't intend to **** the small palace at all, she wants to build a big palace, which will include the original Shangyuan Palace in the future!
Facts also proved that Her Majesty the Queen had planned this way. On the day when the construction of the new palace started, the Queen personally climbed to the nearby Ningjin Mountain, and pointed at the Shangyuan Palace in Shangyuan City at her feet, "Within a year, this turtle will be defeated, I will definitely connect the wall of Shangyuan New Palace to the city wall of Shangyuan!"
The four urns in Shangyuan City are located in the east, west, north, and south respectively. The whole city is oblate and looks like a turtle with a shrunken head.
A bold statement, so bold.
This boldness attracted the eyes of the tortoise shell, and also attracted countless people. Many people from the tortoiseshell and the surrounding countries and ethnic groups came to join them one after another. Among them were those who were frustrated in the original gang, who hoped to start a new career under the Queen's hand, and many scholars, holding the title of the great sage of the emperor's song. Letters written by Chang Fang, Qu Ti and others came to the door, and they all said that they had the talent to manage the world and came to serve the Queen.
At the entrance of the inn where Jing Hengbo temporarily rented out his residence, the daily flow of people is like crucian carp crossing the river...
"Crack." Yongxue threw down a resume angrily, "Sour Confucianism!"
"What's the matter?" Jing Hengbo came in. She was dressed in men's clothing, covered in dust, and looked a bit embarrassed.
Zirui Yongxue was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to greet her, and asked what was wrong, Jing Hengbo snorted and said, "It's not that someone is ignorant!"
The land grab work has come to an end, and most of the 16 gangs have withdrawn. Among them, the 13th Taibao is the most straightforward. Before Jing Hengbo made a move, he withdrew from the three counties, putting on a face of "I am the weakest, I will not play with you "'s posture made Jing Hengbo's fist hit the empty space. Unsurprisingly, the attitude of the people in Lingxiaomen was the toughest. To take down the largest and last entrance of Lingxiaomen in Ningjin, suddenly a deputy head of Lingxiaomen rushed to Lingxiaomen, and with a group of subordinates, he rescued the masters in the entrance of the hall and hid them in the county town. Make trouble with Jing Hengbo's people. And because their power is still there, the shops under the jurisdiction of Lingxiaomen are all on the sidelines, they don't cooperate much with Jing Hengbo's people, and they sometimes stumble.
Jing Hengbo ordered a strong takeover, but encountered soft resistance. Some businessmen with deep ties to the gang united and also expressed their intention to withdraw from the three counties. Commerce is one of the important foundations of people's livelihood. Once the Chamber of Commerce fully withdraws, it will lead to economic recession in the three counties. , Once the whole body is mobilized, it will be difficult for Jing Hengbo to gain a foothold in the three counties.
The gang has been operating for many years, and the power is intertwined. Pulling out carrots and bringing out mud, such a tough uprooting will inevitably lead to a certain backlash. Jing Hengbo just passed by the door of a certain big business, and he was almost hit by a basket of hot ashes from above.
Although it is impossible to be injured, it would be rather disgraceful. More importantly, if the people of Lingxiaomen cannot be subdued, the influence and control of the gang here will be completely taken away, so that the forces of all sizes in the three counties can clearly see their own strength. There will be more and more troubles, until it makes it difficult for her to move forward, and she quits the three counties in despair.
Jing Hengbo ordered a strong search, and if he saw any suspicious gang members, he would be shot and killed, forcing the other party to stop playing tricks in the dark. When she came back just now, she received a letter of war from someone.
Chi Ming, the deputy head of Lingxiaomen, asked her to fight.
The corner of Jing Hengbo's lips curled up, feeling that it was just in time. But she didn't want to talk about it first, so she asked Zirui Yongxue why she was swearing.
Yongxue snorted. She and Zirui had a bad complexion recently. The two of them served as temporary clerks, responsible for accepting and recruiting self-recommended talents from all over the world, but now it seems that things are not going well.
"Master, other things are fine. The talents you want who are good at heretics are good. But these scholars are too shameless." Zirui rubbed her wrists and complained, "The resumes are written in a colorful way, and the strategy of governing the country is well-organized, but even Some basic people’s livelihood and official affairs can’t be answered. Most of them are sour Confucians who are dead on reading and talking on paper.”
"Then let's go."
"I can't send you away." Zirui said, "Many of them have letters written by Chang Xianzhe, Qu Xianzhe and others, and they also brought a lot of their friends from the same year. They keep saying to serve the queen. If you don't take it, you have to bear the burden." Neglecting talents, ignoring pillars, and not being worthy of the reputation of corporals. This is not good for our fledgling forces, and others will be chilled when they hear it, and real talents will not come in the future."
"They are all snobs." Yongxue is always so sharp, "The letter from the sages was sent to them when you released the Emperor Song. It has been so long since you released the Emperor Song, did someone come forward to help you? Now You have laid the foundation, and they will come out one by one, trying to rush to be the founder of the mountain! Pooh!"
Jing Hengbo laughed, and looked outside the inn, there were piles of people pretending to meditate deeply, reciting poems, pointing out the country, and some poor scholars who lived in shabby households, wearing rotten padded jackets, quietly touching the lice while watching the people who came in and out of the inn People, when they saw a person with bright clothes, who seemed to be close to the queen, began to shake their heads and said loudly, "Great words for governing the world", hoping to gain attention.
It's so colorful and bizarre.
"I've been busy fighting and grabbing land recently, so I forgot about this mess." Jing Hengbo chuckled, of course she didn't really forget, but she wanted to let these people go, for the same reason as Yongxue—what did you guys do long ago?
In her heart, she doesn't think that there are any great talents among these people. If she wants to talk about the staff and military adviser, the first thing she thinks of is Mr. Mu. It's hard for the enemy to say, so there's no need to think about it.
It's not okay to ignore it at all, Chang Fang and the others have good intentions, and they can't be indifferent to others. When they return to Dige in the future, they still count on the old men to help.
But blocking the door like this is not a solution, what if the lice are infected?
She lifted her foot and walked out the door, Zirui Yongxue hurriedly followed.
A group of people outside the door turned their eyes around in a flash. At first, they didn't see Zirui Yongxue who was following behind, and all their eyes fell on Jing Hengbo's face.
Those who recited poems, bragged, memorized, and talked all of a sudden stopped, and there was silence all around, and countless people cast their eyes hotly on them.
Jing Hengbo originally wanted to show his identity, but when he saw these eyes, his heart was moved—this seemed to be an opportunity to test his character.
She stretched her hand behind and waved it, signaling Zirui Yongxue not to come out.
"Your Majesty has an order." She said, "In three days' time, there will be a battle of Dingding on the Qujiang River. Talented people from all over the world will be invited to Qujiang to sing poems and comment on the heroes of the world." She rolled her eyes and said sweetly, "At that time , the queen will also command the final battle of the three counties on the Qujiang River, and judge the talents of the world!"
Three days later, it was the final battle between her and Ling Xiaomen's forces in the three counties. Ling Xiaomen is used to being the boss in the tortoise shell, and he is very rebellious. He gathers the defeated gang members and wants to have a good fight with her. And her fights these days are mostly sneak attacks, and the fights are very short-lived. She also needs a vigorous battle, in the tortoiseshell rivers and lakes, and at the gate of the patriarch of the Shangyuan Palace, to show off her power! Let those short-sighted, two-headed businessmen see clearly who is their new master!
Do two things at the same time, grasp both civil and military, and both hands must be hard!
There was a moment of silence in the field, and then there was a roar.
"Your Majesty will preside over the final battle of the Three Counties Expulsion War!"
"I also personally test the heroes of the world! I personally judge the talents of the world!"
"Ah, the Qujiang River is flowing, and the flames of war are raging. We will hit the middle of the river and go upstream. We will write poems in the smoke and arrow rain, and compose poems in the battle drumming. One song will break the formation, half of the river will be red, and the literature will spread to thousands of ears. The poem shocked thousands of people, it is magnificent! It is magnificent!"
"This is a grand event that can be recorded in literature and history! We will definitely leave a name in the history of Ye Qing!"
"Even if there is no name left in the annals of history, there must be a name for bravery and wisdom spread all over the world!"
This is a group of well-known nerds. Thinking of being in the middle of a war, composing poems with blood and fire, and being an experience that has never been experienced by scholars in the world through the ages, they can't help but feel excited.
There are also some who are timid, mature and prudent, and more concerned with practicality.
"May I ask what reward your Majesty has?"
"We have no strength to restrain a chicken. Once we are in the battle, what should we do if we are accidentally injured?"
"Is there an army to protect us?"
Someone else yelled: "We can risk our lives, just to be lucky enough to be in front of His Majesty's imperial court, and only hope that after winning, we will get the girl's red sleeves to add fragrance and study at night!"
A group of people laughed out loud, deeply convinced.
Jing Hengbo kicked Yongxue back who was about to rush out to scold others, and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you for your attention. Your Majesty will judge the talents of the world, and there will naturally be rich rewards. The winners will be rewarded with gold positions according to their rankings. Later on Qujiang, everyone will wait."
"Is there an army to protect us?"
Jing Hengbo stopped and laughed mockingly.
"Samurai are used to fight the world, not to protect waste! Qujiang discusses martial arts, and the test of talent also depends on courage. Your Majesty will build a country in Heishui. The beginning of the business is the most difficult, and there is no need to be dragged down by cowards who shrink behind others! Those who are both civil and military, please go, and those who are weak and incompetent will not come!"
"Are you coming or not!"
"Come!"
"Then we will come too!"
After a burst of wild laughter, someone vaguely said: "Whoever wins will marry her!"
Jing Hengbo smiled, turned back and entered the door, pushed back Yongxue who wanted to rush out to beat someone, "Sleep! I can be clean for a few days!"
"It's so noisy, how can you sleep?"
"They'll be buying swords, shields, soft armor and making cheat sheets right away. They'll be very busy."
Sure enough, the next moment, the gate was cleared, and the news of "the battle of Qujiang, the queen personally commenting on the heroes and talents in the world" had spread throughout the three counties in the streets and alleys of Ningjin County...
…
In the main forum of the Shadow Pavilion, Mr. Mu couldn't help smiling when he opened the news delivered today.
"Qujiang's literary and military talents? She is so bold!"
He said again: "Is the thing ready? It has to match her courage."
Xian Yuqing stood beside him and asked respectfully: "Ready. Are you planning to help?"
Mr. Mu folded the paper, his eyes seemed to be thinking, he looked around for a while and said: "Sister is coming soon, we have to prepare to pick her up."
…
In a room of ice and snow, he gently unfolded a note.
There are many case files in front of him, piled up like a mountain, some with bright yellow seals, some with snow-white envelopes, and some account books, which are written to "Summary of News from Northwest Bureaus and Halls".
Many of these things were marked and feathered, meaning that they were extremely urgent, and none of them seemed more important than the note in his hand.
His eyes flicked over the note, and the corners of his lips were straight, showing no emotion.
With a wave of his hand, the note shattered into powder.
"What do you think?" He asked the guard beside him.
"The queen is changing her behavior." The guard said respectfully, "She has changed her low profile on the road, and she intends to make a splash in the tortoise shell. Every time she does something, everyone must hear her voice."
He nodded.
"When you hide, you hide, when you show, you show. She is warning Dige."
"The big tree attracts the wind, and it may attract dark hands."
"The tree attracts the wind, and it can also attract the phoenix to live in the sycamore tree."
The guard nodded and said yes: "I heard that His Majesty also promised a lottery as a gift from a beauty."
He paused slightly, turned his head, "Huh?"
"I don't know the specific subordinates. I just inquired about it from those mad students. I don't know if it's true or not."
He shook his head slightly. The corner of his lips curled up, and his smile was slightly cold.
A gift from a beautiful woman?
After a long while, he said again: "Is the thing that I asked you to prepare ready?"
"My subordinates are lucky." The guard said, "I didn't have time to buy it in a hurry. Just happened to be a big merchant, because the jade belt gang he had taken refuge in was destroyed, and the business was also implicated. He sold the family property, and there was a good one among them. The subordinates quickly took it down and are stepping up renovations. Add some necessary things."
"It doesn't have to follow my usual simple and plain style." He instructed, "She is different, she needs to be gorgeous and shocking. She must be worthy of her."
"yes."
He nodded and said, "Go out."
The guards retreated respectfully, and he mused in the dark.
Jing Hengbo has always treated women better than men. In her heart, women are more important than men. How could she be like this noble official in the wilderness who treats women as goods and gives them away at will?
By her side, Zirui embraced the snow and loved her sisters, so it was impossible for her to marry so hastily.
He was slightly lost in thought, thinking of Sister Cui, the only one among her sisters who died. Thinking of the day when she threw away Sister Cui's body, how heartbroken it must have been at that moment.
Sister Cui was buried in the royal garden behind Yuzhao Palace, but I hope she will be able to comfort her when she returns in the future.
Gifted with beauty…
Could it be that the legendary beauty refers to herself?
He was silent for a while before he started to do his official business. He looked at the bright yellow envelope first. On the top was "Shen Tie's son begging to return to his hometown for the funeral". He was silent for a while and wrote: "Yes."
After dealing with official business, he opened the snow-white envelope, this is the most important thing.
His face suddenly changed.
The guards around him were also shocked—the master has always been in a landslide, what happened?
He has already said quickly: "Immediately send an order to Menghu to send additional manpower to Yuzhao Palace and Jingting, to secretly investigate insiders and outsiders, and to say that the national teacher is suddenly ill, and no outsiders are seen, and start the second plan!"
"yes!"
He picked up the envelope and handed it to the guards, "We will gather everyone later and roast this envelope on the fire. Get close to the fire, smoke for half an hour, and then all of you will go out and walk around the surrounding areas."
"Master, then by your side..."
"This matter is more important. Besides, move immediately. Everything in this house will be destroyed without leaving any traces."
"yes."
The guards didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to handle it in a hurry.
Pressing his fingers on the envelope, his eyes gradually darkened, and he poured the contents of the envelope upside down, and with a bang, a jade-tube brush fell off.
The writing brush is naturally a fine Zihao, but it seems weird to send this thing to him.
There are even weirder ones.
He folded the writing brush in two, and a few black finger bones fell out, and this time there were more white parts on top.
His complexion was not good. Although he gave good news, the way he gave it was wrong.
The bone in the pen tube is a letter from Xueshan, informing him of the latest progress in the study of blood poison.
He obviously took care of Meng Hu for the things from Xueshan, so he couldn’t send them directly to the tortoiseshell, but could only send them in CC, because Xueshan has its own tracking method, it is very likely that the things will be sent to the tortoiseshell, and the Xueshan side will follow all the way. Know that he is actually a tortoiseshell.
The consequences of this can be imagined, both the tortoise shell and the emperor's song will have problems.
How could Menghu make such a low-level mistake? Or did he not see that this was a message from the snow mountain? The Snow Mountain Messenger is indeed hidden in various ways, and it is difficult to identify.
But with Menghu's prudence, he can't be sure and won't send it rashly.
So what is certain is that there is a problem with Dige.
The tortoiseshell here eliminates the traces and cuts off the connection. I don’t know if it’s too late...
After pondering for a while, he opened another envelope, which was also snow white, but it was not passed to him by Dige, it came from another channel.
There is a piece of paper inside the envelope, snow-white bamboo paper, with some general greetings written on it, at first glance it looks like a greeting letter. He stroked the edge of the letter with his fingers a few times, and a transparent film-like thing lifted from the edge of the letter.
He gently peeled off the film and threw it into the basin beside him.
The transparent film began to turn white when exposed to water, like a piece of paper, but it was blank. He picked up the whitish film, dried it, bit his fingertips, and dripped a drop of blood on it.
Handwriting began to appear on the paper, a few words without any emotion, and he looked at it without any emotion. Finally, he handed the paper to the candle and burned it.
Seeing the paper slowly curling up on the candle and disappearing, he folded his hands and leaned back on the chair with gloomy eyes.
This letter was not sent to him, but was intercepted by someone arranged by him. If such a letter could be intercepted, many sons must have died.
He was very satisfied with intercepting the letter.
It was surprising that the woman should have written such a plea for help.
In his impression, this is a very calm woman, so the first lesson of her training is always to practice tolerance first.
However, it can be seen from the recent letters that she is not patient enough, and the frequency is more frequent than before, and now she even writes to ask someone to help find someone.
Did something happen on the snow mountain? imminent? There is also a certain threat to her? And who is she asking for help?
Also, is this letter really intercepted? Did anyone deliberately want him to see this letter?
The corners of his lips are curved and cold, like the snow on the top of the mountain.
Looking past the window, a floating cloud cruised silently.
She said that the person she was looking for had undergone meridian washing in her body and had also taken elixir. Once in estrus, moiré will appear in the lower abdomen.
She didn't say what the moiré was for, and few people in this world knew it. He does.
This is also used for Cynomorium. The highest skill in the snow mountain requires unfeeling patience, and Cynomorium is a must before it can be practiced.
He also knew that this cloud pattern must be a totem cloud pattern, a symbol of the nobility of the snow mountain.
In fact, there are many kinds of cynomorium methods. Needle is the cruelest one, while totem cloud pattern is the most harmless and beneficial one. When doing exercises, guide the true energy to run, and get twice the result with half the effort.
But the totem cloud pattern requires at least seven elders, and it consumes the infusion of true energy, and it can only be done before the age of three. Ordinary brother
