The King of England wanted to stay with Yan Huaiwen to have breakfast with him.
The latter politely resigned.
After leaving the yard, Yan Yu walked quickly carrying the food box.
He was thinking that he would have to heat up breakfast when he got back. He walked from the kitchen to the prince's residence and then back to the small courtyard where they temporarily stayed. It was already too cold.
"Xiaoer, do you know where Master Luan is resting in Luanyu?" Yan Huaiwen suddenly slowed down and asked.
Yan Yu turned around and looked back, with some doubts in his eyes, but he replied without any hesitation: "Uncle, I know."
“Lead the way.”
Yan Yu's body was faster than her brain. She just turned around, then turned back, and then turned back again. Her calves were so tight that they made a clicking sound on the broken ice on the ground.
She wanted to persuade her uncle to eat first before going over, but considering her uncle's temperament, his priorities were very clear. There was still something to discuss in the lobby today, and she had to meet Mr. Luan before the meeting. There must be something important.
“Uncle, you should chew one of our meat strips first to satisfy your stomach.” Yan Yu stuffed a small spicy meat strip into his uncle’s hand.
Yan Huaiwen frowned slightly.
Yan Yu paid attention to his expression and knew that he didn't like the burning sensation that washed over his body.
"Uncle, there is porridge in the food box, you can eat the porridge." Yan Yu moved his hands from left to right, and with his free hand, he dexterously took out the bowl of soft boiled rice porridge.
Eating while walking is extremely indecent.
But the child's heart of **** and longing are all in his eyes, clear and discernible.
Yan Huaiwen stretched out his hand to take it, slowed down a little, and held the porridge steadily. While chewing the meat strips, he sipped the cold porridge from time to time to reduce the burning in his abdomen.
The posture is dignified and the steps are measured.
Although I eat and drink while walking, it is like taking a leisurely stroll.
Luanyu was about to go to the cell when he walked to the corridor and saw this scene.
Can’t help but stop and watch.
Yan Huaiwen looked at him, stopped, stood still, gathered his long sleeves, looked calm, and bowed from afar.
Where can I still see what is in his hands?
Luanyu secretly praised in his heart: What a graceful manner!
…
"If Mr. Yan is here because of Leshan Prefecture affairs, please tell His Highness the King of England that Luanyu left the capital for a private mine in Xizhou, and Leshan Prefecture belongs to it. This is a big matter, and I don't know the inside story, so I dare not speak nonsense."
Luan Yu reached out to pick up the tea bowl on the table.
It means serving tea as a farewell to guests.
“Students are not here for this purpose.” Yan Huaiwen said.
Luan Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with questioning eyes.
“The three private mines in Xizhou are all reported by Guanzhou.”
Luan Yu opened his eyes slightly, and in an instant, he was thinking a lot.
Yan Huaiwen's tone was casual, as if he was chatting about romance, but every word was sharp: "There are more than just these three private mines in Xizhou. Students dare to report it. Master Luan, do you dare to investigate them all?"
Do you dare to investigate everything?
Luanyu couldn't answer for a while.
When he left the capital, His Majesty summoned him, and he revealed a lot in his words. He also planned to thoroughly investigate the private mining case, visit and investigate in person, and travel to various cities and towns in Xizhou to find out what happened in Xizhou.
But everything happened yesterday, from the private soldiers guarding the open-pit coal mine with armor and weapons, to the interrogation at night, where a group of people were tortured and refused to reveal a word. The more Luanyu thought about it, the more chills he felt all over his body.
Yan Huaiwen's question hit him right where it hurts.
Yes, he weighed the pros and cons and couldn't really investigate it deeply. There is also circumstantial evidence that what he thought was correct.
"I will inform your Majesty about this matter and ask for your Majesty's sanction." Even if Luan Yu guessed that Guanzhou was the person who reported the matter secretly, he would not reveal the slightest hint.
Yan Huaiwen had no intention of discussing the rebellion in Xizhou with him.
“Lord Luan, this is just a moment when the student made a blunder in anger. Please don’t take it to heart, Lord Luan. The student knows the seriousness of it, but he just feels aggrieved.”
Yan Huaiwen's eyes were filled with light and lingering sadness, and his voice seemed to be trembling:
"We, the Guanzhou Army, will know after we destroy the Beirong. The people captured by the Beirong over the years have a hard time surviving outside the Pass. It is even worse than cattle and sheep! Livestock can be traded, and people can also sell them. It is cold this winter, and the Beirong are buying coal. I asked Xizhou to exchange cattle, sheep and people. This population will be the people in my pass.
If you enter in life, you will not be able to get out even if you die!
Mr. Luan, what the student said is not false. The transaction between Beirong and Xizhou was witnessed by our army. When we first encountered Beirong, we didn't know about it. We only killed them all to save the people in our pass. Later, we met the Xizhou army to **** coal. When the car came, I didn't expect it, and I was shocked to realize that Xizhou actually... collaborated with the enemy. "
When Yan Huaiwen said these two words, it was as light as a whisper.
But it was like thunder exploding in Luanyu’s ears.
“Really?” He asked anxiously: “Really?!”
“All the Xizhou troops escorting the coal trucks were captured and are now being imprisoned in a safe and secluded place.”
“Now that we have evidence, can we report it to Your Majesty?” Luanyu Surong asked.
"The situation at that time was extremely dangerous." Yan Huaiwen's eyes were filled with memories, and there was a hint of happiness and fear between his brows.
"Xizhou didn't see the coal transporter return, so we sent people to look for him one after another. We had no choice but to kill him, but we could only hide it for a while. If Xizhou learned that Guanzhou had peeked into his privacy and joined forces with Beirong to besiege him, Guanzhou is in danger!
At that time, Guanzhou was experiencing a cold disaster and people's livelihood was difficult. At this time of internal and external difficulties, it was too late to ask for help from Beijing, so they had to come up with a plan to survive in the danger. "
Luan Yu blurted out: "Is this the reason why Guanzhou sent troops to conquer Beirong without authorization?"
Yan Huaiwen spoke earnestly: "As Mr. Luan said, His Royal Highness was willing to take risks, mobilize all the efforts of Guanzhou, arrange food and fodder, pretend to compete with the King of Qi in Leshan, and at the same time order the prince to accompany the army to fight in person, it is saved. The thought of fighting to the death with the Beirong, if defeated, can bring peace outside Guanzhou, stabilize the people's hearts, and frighten all directions.
Even if they are defeated, firstly, they can calm Xizhou's suspicions and avoid radical changes; secondly, they can attract the attention of the court. If the Guanzhou army is defeated, the imperial court will definitely dispatch strong troops to suppress the border fortress, and it can also coerce Xizhou. "
He changed the topic and said: "Fortunately, we won. Now that the Beirong have been eliminated, Guanzhou can be freed to prepare for Xizhou. Therefore, Leshan has to fight even more. Guanzhou is bitterly cold and it is difficult to obtain food and grass supplies. Although Our army has won a great victory, and the government has praised it, but it can only be one or two, not three.
If His Royal Highness the King of England can control the two prefectures of Guanzhou and Leshan, and use the power of the two prefectures, and the government and the government can help secretly, there will be no worries in the future.
At that time, in the name of suppressing bandits, Guanzhou sent troops to Leshan to block their way south to Beijing and block them in the northwest.
If chaos breaks out in Xizhou, the Guanzhou army will definitely be able to put it down! "
Luanyu's heart was racing after what he said, and he couldn't help himself.
Yan Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
This...is her uncle?
Can you say that? So good at acting?
That little expression is perfect, every bit is just right.
In just a few words, the image of the King of England as a lofty king who worked hard, cared about his country and his people, and took risks despite taboos was established like this?
The King of England also boasted in a vague way, and had a high-sounding reason for sending troops without authorization. The small details of ambushing the spies in Xizhou were simply a stroke of genius. With the use of time misalignment, everything had a reasonable explanation.
yes! It was too dangerous and dangerous at that time!
We were afraid of changes in Xizhou, so we took the risk of going out to fight Beirong.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like being attacked from both sides!
There is also a reason for competing with Xizhou for Leshan.
Huh? The ownership of Leshan Mansion is probably stable.
Her uncle…
It’s so awesome!
Yan Yu’s eyes seemed to be shooting out sparks, crackling and jumping!
The adoration is so full that it is almost overflowing. (End of chapter)
