Chapter 2035: Guizi scroll. Roosters crow in all directions, and old friends come out of the west.
Feng Ziying and Qingwen were awakened from their sleep by a series of scoldings and roars.
Because he was sleeping a little deeply, Feng Ziying was even a little confused and thought he was dreaming, but he soon realized that it was not a dream.
Qingwen woke up from fright and hugged Feng Ziying tightly. Her heart was pounding and her face was pale.
After the two had sex, they just hugged each other naked and fell asleep. They were not so particular when they went out, and they didn't even have time to wipe their bodies.
Seeing that Qingwen was very frightened, Feng Ziying didn't care too much. If there was really a danger, Wu Yaoqing and the others would have rushed in long ago. They would not care about taboos and embarrassment. It was important to save their lives, but they could only hear scoldings and some footsteps from outside. It should be If the tiles make a crunching sound when stepped on the courtyard wall and the ridge across the courtyard next door, then it's not a big problem.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Qingwen saw that Feng Ziying just sat up, not too panicked, she felt a little at ease, put one hand on her chest, stood up, and looked for clothes to put on.
"It's nothing serious." Feng Ziying didn't take it seriously, but didn't stop the other party from dressing. "If something really happened, it's time to make a fuss and come in."
Qingwen hurriedly put on her bellyband and coat, and then dressed Feng Ziying.
I stood up and looked at the chiming clock on the desk. The hands pointed to two o'clock. It was three o'clock. It was when people were sleeping soundly. It was a good time to take the herbal tea handed over by Qingwen and take a sip. , Feng Ziying’s head was clear.
There were no words coming from outside, so Feng Ziying stayed in the room. If her martial arts skills were to be assassinated at night, if she wanted to go out and expose the target, it would cause chaos, and it would easily affect the actions of Wu Yaoqing and the others.
Seeing Qingwen sitting uneasily on the bedside, without her usual aggressive and shrewd appearance, Feng Ziying laughed dumbly, "If you follow me out, you will encounter anything. But with me here, you don't have to worry, it's your turn." Not on you.”
Qingwen shook her head and said, "I am certainly scared, but I am even more worried that this trip is so dangerous. The grandmothers will not be able to sleep well if they know about it."
Feng Ziying was stunned, shook her head and said with a smile: "You think far ahead, you actually think about your family."
Not long after, the door to the inner courtyard opened, and Wu Yaoqing's voice came: "Sir."
“Hmm, are you okay?” Feng Ziying put on her clothes and pushed the door open, gesturing for Wu Yaoqing to come in.
Wu Yaoqing hesitated for a moment. There were women in the inner courtyard and they should be kept out of sight, but the adults had already greeted them in this way, so he had no choice but to come in.
Feng Ziying sat down in the flower hall and motioned for Wu Yaoqing to take a seat. Qingwen came out with tea.
Wu Yaoqing was stunned. He didn't expect that it was Qingwen who was sleeping with her, and the two spies who were still in the house were nominally Qingwen's "parents". And among the two groups of people who were making noise today, one of them might be the one with Qingwen. Related to the White Lotus Sect.
However, Wu Yaoqing also knew that Qingwen was the personal maid of the eldest wife, Grandma Shen, and the maid of the first wife. It was normal for her to serve in the bedchamber, and it was said that Lord Feng loved this maid very much.
“Tell me, what’s going on?”
“Two groups of people sneaked in, or tried to sneak in, and we discovered them and took action. However, the other group was very wary and immediately retreated when they saw that the situation was not good. We failed to capture each other..." Wu Yaoqing was a little regretful.
Qinghedian is a place where buildings are lined up one after another, and many of them are stacked buildings with undulating shapes. Therefore, once an opponent suddenly lurks, it is easy to lose track of the opponent at night, and Wu Yaoqing has no hope of catching the opponent.
“Two groups of people?” Feng Ziying was slightly surprised. Is she so hated?
"Well, one group tried to climb in from the wall of the front wing room. We found it and had a fight. The other group was a master of hidden weapons, so we couldn't stop them..." Wu Yaoqing explained: "The other group basically They acted at the same time, sneaking in from the water behind, but we discovered them before they even got close to the wall. They disappeared while diving, and it was difficult to find them at night."
“How are you sure it’s not the same group of people?” Feng Ziying asked.
“There was no tacit understanding between the two parties. We discovered the diver as soon as he landed on the shore. He lurked on a two-story roof on the side for a long time. We kept staring..."
Wu Yaoqing briefly explained the situation.
“Can you tell which side it belongs to?” Feng Ziying also knew that her question was a bit difficult.
As expected, Wu Yaoqing shook his head: "We can't tell. There are still a few suspicious people living in the inn, but they haven't moved at all. They don't even belong to the same group as these two groups. We haven't touched them either. As long as they They have made no other moves, so we plan to follow them and hang on, maybe we can gain something."
Feng Ziying thought for a while and nodded: "Well, I'm going to fish for the big fish for a long time. If I can dig out the calendar, it may help me in my future work after I go to Shaanxi. So while ensuring safety, I can dig out some useful information as much as possible." Here comes the clue.”
“Oh?” Feng Ziying became interested, “Why do you think so?”
"The main reason is that I feel that I can't use my hands freely in the town. If I show some flaws in the pretense in the wild, I might be able to lure these people to take the bait, and it will be easier to find out the true origin of this group of people."
Wu Yaoqing said while observing Feng Ziying's face. Some people were unwilling to use themselves as bait. This was the meaning of his suggestion.
"Well, that's a good idea. It's about turning against the guests and taking advantage of the situation." Feng Ziying nodded, "You can decide what to do. If you need my cooperation, just say hello to me."
Seeing Feng Ziying so cheerful, Wu Yaoqing was a little worried. If something really went wrong, it would be too late to regret it.
Just because the words have been spoken, he can't immediately regret it. Now he can only consider all aspects as carefully as possible and be as meticulous as possible.
She slept peacefully in the second half of the night. After Feng Ziying got up, she went to Baoqin first, then to Miaoyu and Xiuyan.
They all heard the noise last night, but they stayed in the house without being greeted by anyone from outside. Later, they calmed down and fell asleep slowly.
Although I am a little worried, the news coming in from the outside is that it is no big deal and everything is fine, so I can only suppress my uneasiness.
On their first day out, they encountered this kind of thing. Baoqin and Xiuyan were both extremely smart people, so they naturally knew that there would be a lot of troubles along the way, and they were a little worried about their husband-in-law.
The journey from Qinghedian to Baiyangkou is flat and smooth.
This road is a stronghold for military aircraft, including Hongqiao, Longhutai, and Baiyangkou. There are troops stationed along the road, varying in number. However, anyone who wants to do anything here may have to face military martial law and must respond quickly. .
Those who rested at Baiyangkou that night immediately moved into the Baiyangkou house.
This is a guard station in the northwest of Ji Town. Feng Ziying's father Feng Tang still has the position of governor of Ji Liao, so the guard station is naturally regarded as a distinguished guest, and it is not too late to please him.
Going west from Baiyangkou and crossing the Great Wall, you will reach the boundary of Huailaiwei in Xuanfu Town.
Now the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town was once identified as Chen Jingxuan, and even Chen Jingxuan had begun to receive guests, but in the end he was stuck at the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The imperial censors were full of criticism and fiercely attacked Chen Jingxuan's poor performance in the post of governor of the three sides. In the end, Zhang Jingqiu and Qiao Yingjia did not dare to go against the public opinion too much, so they could only reject the proposal of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, making Chen Jingxuan an outcast in Beijing. The ugliness forced him to shut up and sulk.
This is what disappoints Guo Qinyun the most. If Chen Jingxuan can really take office as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, it will undoubtedly be a great help to Prince Gong's influence. It is a pity that the good thing will not work out.
At present, the general army of Xuanfu Town has been vacant, and the court has several candidates, but none of them are very satisfactory, so they have been shelved.
However, although the General Soldier has been put on hold, several deputy General Soldiers have taken charge of their own affairs. The reconstruction of the New Xuanfu Army is still proceeding slowly. However, without the General Soldier, the Ministry of War's reconstruction of it will definitely not be as good as that of Datong and Shanxi Second Town. They were proactive, and all kinds of materials were given priority to protect these two towns, which made Yang Yuan and Chai Guozhu happy.
Feng Ziying and his party did not stay in Huailaiwei, but stayed in Jimingyi in the northwest.
This is the largest post station in the west of Beijing in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and is known as the first post station in the west of Beijing.
The convoy entered Jimingyi to stay. The Yi Cheng had already heard the news about such a big battle and hurriedly waited at the door to greet them.
Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan's reputation in the Gyeonggi area is still quite good, not to mention that he is now an imperial minister and is patrolling Shaanxi.
Yicheng's attentiveness and early arrangements made the tension and fatigue after walking for several days immediately relax.
This can be said to be the safest place in the entire Baoan Prefecture. The post station is actually more like a military city, with towering walls and criss-crossing four directions. Post houses, post warehouses, schools, shops, temples, and even post schools are all available. It is a typical example. A small soldier city is stationed here to guard one side.
Feng Ziying and her group occupied the post immediately after arriving, and no one else could move in. Fortunately, there were many hotels and guesthouses in Jiming Post City, so there was no need for others to sleep on the streets.
After settling down the group, Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the afterglow that had not yet set on the mountainside, Feng Ziying became interested in observing this famous Jiming Station in her previous life.
This post was built during the reign of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. It expanded in scale in the future and gradually became the most important gateway post in northwest Beijing. The streets in the post were crisscrossed, there were many shops, and there was an endless stream of business travelers.
It was safe here. Even Wu Yaoqing and others felt relieved. They walked around the inn with Feng Ziying until Fu Shi arrived in a hurry.
