Chapter 2240 Gui Zijuan returns to Beijing quietly after the storm rises again
Watching the man say goodbye to a group of officials, mount his horse, and drive away, the women hiding aside felt mixed feelings.
Shi Xiangyun and Qin Keqing had many things on their minds.
Although Feng Ziying vowed, they also believed that Feng Ziying would not forget them, but this separation was thousands of miles apart, and it would take several months to exchange letters, and Feng Ziying would definitely be entrusted with important tasks after returning, so she would be very busy. There is no chance of talking, and he may even go to Jiangnan again. In this situation, how much energy can he have to think about his own affairs?
Besides, after returning to Beijing, there will be more women around him. Men like the new and hate the old. No matter how much affection they have, their love may be destroyed in this kind of friction. How long will he be able to think of them alone in the northwest?
For the women from the Shui and Mu families, the feeling here is even more complicated.
Feng Ziying still met with them before leaving.
This side is painful for them, but they cannot ignore it.
Although Qin Keqing was the one who took the lead, it would be difficult to feel at ease without getting a personal commitment or a few words in person for this kind of matter.
Feng Ziying didn't say much to them. Perhaps everyone felt embarrassed and ashamed, so she only made a simple promise that she would try her best to help them realize their wishes, but this might take time.
Although they felt that Feng Ziying's words were too thin, the women felt a lot more at ease when they were able to make the other party come to meet them specifically and speak more pertinent words.
But that’s all. That’s all Feng Ziying can say. No matter how much more, Feng Ziying can’t promise.
“Let’s go.”
Shi Xiangyun glanced at Qin Keqing, then at the Shui Mu family girls, and sighed, "Is it worth it for them to do this? Will they regret it?"
"I would rather regret it than miss it, it's that simple." Qin Keqing said calmly: "Now they are not qualified to choose and dare not miss it, so they can only do this. When it comes to survival, what confidence do they have to be stubborn and arrogant?"
Shi Xiangyun was also speechless. She did not ask Qin Keqing and Shui Mu what they had done, but she knew they must have done something. As for the specific actions, she did not want to ask or know.
“Then did Brother Feng make a promise to them?”
"It depends on how you interpret this promise. I will definitely say that I will try my best to help them, but do you think it is a promise? If it is, then give it. If it feels too empty and unrealistic, then don't give it."
Qin Keqing feels that she is becoming more and more comfortable with this kind of ambiguous and slippery language. She always speaks the same thing, so that the listener can neither find any flaws, but also cannot hear any specific content.
"I hope Brother Feng can come up with a good idea after he goes back. As soon as she leaves, I feel more and more that we are alone here and may be swallowed up by these hostile people around us at any time." Shi Xiangyun said with worry. In my heart, "I feel like we are living here in a den of wolves, surrounded by wolves, ready to tear us apart at any time."
Qin Keqing was amused by Shi Xiangyun's description, "Girl Yun, there is definitely a danger, but it's not yet to that point. Feng Ziying helped us greet him. He is now prosperous. Shaanxi local officials have to pay some attention to it." , it won’t be too difficult for us, but we also need to be careful and vigilant. It is inevitable that some people will have evil intentions. Many times we can only pretend to be powerful and drag it out for a while..."
Shi Xiangyun lowered his head and was silent for a while before glancing at the girls of the Shui Mu family a few steps away: "But Qing, I'm not very worried about the two of us. Brother Feng promised us, and I believe in my affairs." He will solve it quickly. Your situation is different, but for Brother Feng, there is more room for maneuver. Brother Feng will have various means to make the most of your life experience. It depends on how the court views it. Maybe That’s not necessarily a bad thing,…”
Qin Keqing's heart moved. She looked at Shi Xiangyun and realized that she had underestimated this seemingly generous and unscheming girl. After all, she was from a high-ranking official family. She still had some awareness of this. She actually realized that her life experience had both advantages and disadvantages. Let’s see how to maximize the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages.
"What I'm worried about are the Shui Mu family and the others..." Shi Xiangyun hesitated. She really didn't want to touch on what happened between the girls and Brother Feng, so she could only vaguely mention it: "Even if Brother Feng wants to Help them, but to what extent and when can we help them? This is the key. Maybe it will take two or three years? Can they survive here for two or three years? "
"So what can we do?" Qin Keqing felt the kindness in Shi Xiangyun's heart and sighed in her heart. No wonder this girl is very popular in Rongguo Mansion. This kindness can be felt as long as we have known each other for a long time. "Maybe after you go back, They are most lucky to be able to spend more time by their uncle's side and make him think of them."
"No, I mean, I have a feeling. Maybe you can help them better than me in the future. It's not all about Brother Feng..." Shi Xiangyun's bright eyes flashed, "There must be some different changes after you go back. If there are any If given the chance, I think you can help them."
************
Leaving the farewell group behind, Feng Ziying rode her horse and whipped her whip to catch up with the cavalry and headed east.
Baoqin and the others left a few days in advance, because they all had to take a car, and walked eastward along the Wei River to Henan, across Henan, until Jining took a boat to Beijing, taking the route Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyan and the others took before.
The same goes for Feng Ziying. The situation in Shanxi is very chaotic now, changing three times a day, and all kinds of news are contradictory.
On the first day of leaving, Feng Ziying received news from Puzhou and Datong respectively.
News came from Puzhou that there were incidents involving White Lotus cultists in Yangcheng and Gaoping.
Yangcheng is a county in the west of Zezhou, adjacent to Pingyang Prefecture across Jiaoshan Mountain; Gaoping is in the north of Zezhou, bordering Lu'an Prefecture.
The news is not very accurate. It is not clear how big the White Lotus Rebellion was, how the local government and guards responded, and what the outcome was. It is only said that on the third and fifth day of September, the White Lotus followers in Yangcheng and Gaoping started to take action one after another.
The power of the White Lotus Sect is also rampant in Shanxi. The situation is particularly severe in the east and south near Henan and Beizhi. Pingding Prefecture, Leping, Shouyang, and Yuxian in the east of Taiyuan Prefecture and even Fanzhi and Daizhou near Datong Prefecture. , as well as Liaozhou, Qinzhou in the south, and Licheng, Pingshun and other counties in Lu'an Prefecture, where the White Lotus Sect is very active.
Unexpectedly, it was Yangcheng and Gaoping in Zezhou who broke out first.
This may have a lot to do with the chaos in Pingyang Mansion.
Although he doesn't know the situation in Zezhou, Feng Ziying estimates that the situation may not be too serious now, but if this is just the beginning, then there will definitely be more such small explosions in the future. There is no reason for Zezhou to go out Once the incident is over, Lu'an and Taiyuan will be safe, and what he is most worried about is that this is the manipulation of the entire White Lotus Sect, which means that Beizhi, Shandong and Henan may all have outbreaks one after another, and then think of Datong. The news that came out is even more worrying.
The news from Datong came from the Duan family.
The Tumote people moved frequently, and a large group of cavalry moved southward.
At the same time, the Han people in Fengzhou, centered in Dabansheng (now Hohhot), also began to gather. This was actually the core area of Fengzhou Bailian. If the prediction is correct, Fengzhou Bailian should be preparing for the war.
Unlike the Su Nang tribe, which is mainly cavalry, Bansheng's Fengzhou Bailian is a mixture of infantry and cavalry. After so many years of mixed living on the grasslands, the Han people can both ride horses and fight on foot. This is why Feng Ziying is most worried, purely It is not easy for the Mongolian cavalry to break through the border wall. They have little room for choice. Moreover, even if they dismount and attack the city and break through, they will pay a high price and be delayed in time, buying buffer time for the surrounding army.
But Fengzhou Bailian is different.
Over the years, many Han people have come out of Datong, Shanxi, Xuanfu and even the three border and four towns. Many of them are deserters who have committed crimes in the border army or are in debt and cannot survive. Basically, they all Every side wall is running towards Dasheng.
Because the Mongolian territory is the territory when you leave the border, if you don't find a group, you will definitely be oppressed by the Mongols and cannot survive. Therefore, Dabansheng, a town dominated by Han people, naturally becomes the place of hope for all Han people who leave the border.
The area of hundreds of miles with Dabansheng as the center, all the way to Yunchuan (Chanyu City), which is where the Feng family Yunchuanbo got its name, is now an inhabited area dominated by Han people, with no less than ten people living in various places. Wanhan people.
Many of them have lived here for decades and have mixed with the Mongolians. The Han people have become Hunan and the Mongolians have become Sinicized. Mutual influence is very common.
In a sense, although Fengzhou Bailian exists on the territory of the Tumut people, as its strength continues to grow, it actually means that the Tumut people have to listen to the instructions but not the propaganda.
Especially now that the Tumut people are internally divided, and Bu Shitu and Su Nang are feuding over the orthodoxy brought about by the title of King of Shunyi, each taking sides, the power of Fengzhou Bailian is even more powerful. Highlight the specialness.
However, Feng Ziying knew that although Bu Shitu had an advantage over Su Nang, the big board was in the east and Bu Shitu's sphere of influence was in the west. In fact, Fengzhou Bailian was within Su Nang's sphere of influence and had a relationship with Su Nang. Even more closely, the two together have actually overwhelmed Bu Shitu, who occupies the title of King of Shunyi.
The situation reflected this time also proves that among the Tumut people, the Su Nang tribe is ready to move, while the Bushitu tribe in the west, which occupies the Dongtao area and adjacent to the three sides and four towns, actually does not have much movement.
The first update is asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket!
