Chapter 2232 Suspicion suddenly arises in Gui Zi Juan, undercover transactions
Qin Keqing has been carefully hiding behind the east end of the back room of the house under the Superintendent of Prisons, quietly observing what happened after Feng Ziying arrived.
Of course this is not a trick to catch a traitor. Who dares to catch Feng Ziying's traitor?
This house has a back door, but it is guarded by government officials. Ordinary people cannot go in or out through the back door, except for the governor. If they get a leave, they can also go out from here.
Feng Ziying comes here almost every one or two months, a rule that Qin Keqing is familiar with.
What was the purpose of coming? Of course it was to visit Shi Xiangyun and herself, but this time she took the initiative to avoid it. She just wanted to see what Shi Xiangyun would do when he faced Feng Ziying alone after learning about the matter.
Although he is sure about Shi Xiangyun's character and is sure that Shi Xiangyun will not betray him, who can say clearly about girls? If the news inadvertently leaks out when you and your lover are deeply in love, then the follow-up matter will be tricky.
Shi Xiangyun has a straightforward and quick-tempered personality on the outside, but he is pure and kind in his heart. He hates to see others suffer. It is precisely because of this that Qin Keqing will be honest with Shi Xiangyun.
There are some things that cannot be concealed. Rather than hiding it, it is better to tell the truth openly and openly. Only in this way can Shi Xiangyun be trapped and unable to reveal it to Feng Ziying.
You trust her so much, and you have no reservations about your family, your life, or your daughter's innocence and dignity. How can you leak the secret and betray yourself?
I have to say that Qin Keqing's move was indeed quite powerful. Even though Shi Xiangyun was conflicted in his heart, he never had the intention of betraying Qin Keqing and the others.
If it was simply about the affairs of a few women from Shui Mu's family, Qin Keqing would certainly not take such risks.
When it comes to his future destiny, Qin Keqing will of course not hesitate to give it a try.
Qin Keqing didn't feel much about the fact that her mother, or rather her "biological mother", Concubine Ying, asked someone to tell her.
She has no feelings for her biological father. In the past ten years or so, in the Qin family and the Jia family, has anyone cared about her?
His adoptive father, Qin Ye, cares much more about him than these people. Of course, Qin Zhong is his biological son, and he cannot compare with him.
Speaking of which, women from the Jia family such as You Shi, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng are closer and friendly to him, and their relationship is closer. Now there is another Shi Xiangyun.
It seems that the situation in Nanjing is not good. Concubine Ying is a little busy and wants to find a way out?
But it’s a bit ridiculous to find a way out for yourself. Who am I? A convict wife. Do you really think that she has the blood of the Tian family and can live in a rare place?
However, Qin Keqing still agreed with what the people sent by the Yingfei said. The Feng family's status was increasing day by day, and they had great influence in the court. If anything happened in the future, the Feng family could indeed play a considerable role.
But does this have anything to do with me?
Does Concubine Ying think that by climbing up to Feng Ziying, she can use blackmail to force Feng Ziying to do certain things, or does she think that she can bewitch Feng Ziying to the point of confusion? Or do you think that men feel that women who have the blood of the Tian family are special and regard them as precious stones?
This is too ridiculous.
Qin Keqing had dismissed this before. Even if people came in with letters over and over again, she ignored them until finally Concubine Ying wrote a letter herself.
Only then did Qin Keqing understand their intentions. His biological father still believed that they would win in the subsequent confrontation with the court. Qin Keqing didn't know where their confidence came from, and the reason why they wanted to get closer to Feng Ziying through herself The relationship is more like a hedging bet.
From Qin Keqing's point of view, both his biological father, Prince Yi Zhong, and his biological mother, Concubine Ying, should have a clear understanding of the current situation. Didn't they say that Xuzhou was recaptured by the imperial court some time ago?
Also, the Huaiyang army has already marched south to Huai'an and Yangzhou, and they only have to cross the river to occupy places like Jinling and Suzhou. Is there any ability in Jiangnan to defy fate?
Even if Qin Keqing is unclear about the situation in the DPRK, he still understands that it is impossible for Nanjing to turn the tide and renew its life under such circumstances.
Prince Yizhong, Concubine Ying, and even so many people behind them, couldn’t they see the reason behind this?
This is what confused her the most.
How could people like Feng Ziying pay attention to the olive branch they extended?
Seeing that they were about to fall into the abyss, why did the Feng family board their broken ship? Why did they think that Feng Ziying would think about it?
Shaking her head, Qin Keqing put aside her chaotic thoughts. These were all a bit far away for her now. She just wanted to seek a more accurate, stable and realistic future.
Seeing the blushing Shi Xiangyun hurriedly coming out of the room over there, arranging his clothes and looking around, Qin Keqing couldn't help but smacked his lips.
It looked like he had just been intimate with Feng Ziying. Of course, there was a limit to this intimacy.
Qin Keqing could tell that Shi Xiangyun was still a virgin and had an affair with Feng Ziying, but Shi Xiangyun didn't dare to take the last step yet. After all, she wanted to marry into the Feng family openly and be a concubine. Although things can bring temporary happiness, it is extremely detrimental to establishing a foothold in the Feng family in the future.
The servants in the mansion are all sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued, and even if there is something a little strange, they can tell the truth.
It seems that Shi Xiangyun did not leak the situation to Feng Ziying, otherwise Shi Xiangyun would not be in such a mood. Qin Keqing could still see this.
Seeing Shi Xiangyun leaving, Qin Keqing waited quietly again. After a while, Feng Ziying came out with his hands behind his back, and Qin Keqing came out quietly.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Seeing Qin Keqing ducking out from behind the ear room, Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "I just had a rest over there when I came out and saw Girl Yun hurried past. What's strange is that it turned out to be this girl who came to see you quietly."
Feng Ziying stood still. He had complicated feelings about the woman in front of him.
She is two years older than Shi Xiangyun. When she was still in Ningguo Mansion and Jia Rong was a fake couple, she didn't notice anything. She just felt that this girl was a little stubborn and a little ignorant. She knew that there were some problems that she couldn't solve. There might be an answer, but she had to get to the bottom of it. Later, when something happened to the Jia family, she suddenly realized it and became extraordinarily transparent and aware of current affairs. This huge change made Feng Ziying find it difficult to accept. .
It wasn't until the people of Concubine Ying and Prince Yi Zhong came to her door that Feng Ziying vaguely felt that most of the people in Nanjing were also looking for Qin Keqing, but Qin Keqing never revealed anything in front of her, which made Feng Ziying feel quite sad. Surprised.
No matter what Nanjing’s intention is, Feng Ziying thinks it is understandable.
The war has reached this point, and many cards have been revealed. Shandong has been recovered, Xuzhou has been taken back, and the northern line of water transportation has basically been restored. However, the southern line south of Yangzhou is still intermittent. It seems that Nanjing's destruction is imminent. , but Feng Ziying knew it was not that simple.
Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu withdrew from Xuzhou and divided their troops into two groups. Sun Shaozu withdrew from Suzhou to Yingzhou and stabilized his position, while Niu Jizong deployed defenses in Sizhou and Fengyang.
Daddy’s Northwest Army was fighting with Niu and Sun’s armies in Mengcheng and Guzhen. It seemed like they were having a great fight, but Feng Ziying was not sure of the actual situation, and Daddy didn’t tell him much.
However, it seems that the Northwest Army still has the upper hand, but it is already exhausted and the offensive is slowing down.
The key is that Chen Jixian's Huaiyang Army has been lingering on the line from Huai'an Prefecture to Pizhou. This threatens the Northwest Army from the flanks. The court should also be able to see this. But the problem is that they seem to be unable to control Chen Jixian, or Chen Jixian. I'm singing a double act with my dad.
Niu and Sun would have to withdraw to the front line of Luzhou and Chuzhou, but Feng Ziying got the news that part of Wang Ziteng's Denglai Army had entered Anqing Prefecture from Jiangxi via Huangzhou, and planned to reinforce Niu and Sun. posture.
Whether it was a false shot or whether he really planned to defend the Luzhou-Chuzhou line and fight to the death with the imperial court, it is still unclear.
This situation has become somewhat complicated and chaotic.
The imperial court could no longer spare more power to deal with Jiangnan in one go. In other words, Chen Jixian's Qiqiang and Niu Sun coalition forces plus Wang Ziteng's Denglai army had always been defeated and maintained considerable combat effectiveness, making it impossible for the Northwest Army to succeed in one fell swoop.
And Xiong Tingbi has still failed to achieve full success in Sichuan. Of course, there are also reasons for the involvement of the Shuixi An family and the She family, which has led to the expansion of the war. But it is the prince who has freed up his hands to enter Jiangxi and win a breathing space. Indisputable fact.
Dad revealed a message to himself. It seemed that Nanjing was contacting Ye Fang and the two cabinet ministers through Renshou Palace and some Jiangnan gentry, hoping to reach some compromise.
This news shocked even Feng Ziying.
He never thought that when the war reached this point, the imperial court actually planned to compromise with Jiangnan. How could this compromise?
Is it really impossible to control the river by crossing the river? How is this possible?
The scholars in the North cannot agree to this situation. They have worked hard to fight until now, and suddenly they are about to make peace. Where does this leave the scholars in the North?
But Feng Ziying cannot help but believe that this is possible.
Both Ye Fang and Ye Fang were leaders of Jiangnan scholars, and their relationship in Jiangnan was deeply entangled. If they were moved and Prince Yi Zhong could offer conditions that satisfied them, they might not be able to compromise, but what could Nanjing offer to make the court like this? What conditions did Bian agree to, especially how to convince the northern scholars led by Qi Yongtai?
