Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain
This time, Qiqi's face did not change color, but his palms became tighter and tighter.
Dongling Haotian, why did he suddenly choose to cooperate with Dongling Takuri? Haven’t these two people been incompatible?
"Report!" Outside, a soldier said aloud: "Empress, the third prince of Jin State ordered someone to give it something and asked him to give it to the Empress."
Qiqi and Xiaoyuer looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked at the same time. Qiqi walked around the case and headed out of the tent with her.
Outside the tent, a soldier was guarding there, and when he saw her coming out, he hurriedly saluted: "See the Queen."
"No gift." Qiqi looked at him and asked anxiously: "What did the third prince of Jin send over?"
The soldier looked behind him.
Qiqi and Xiao Yu'er's eyes also followed him and landed on the big box that the two soldiers were carrying. Qiqi was about to step over. The soldier hurriedly chased him and stopped him, "Empress, the things in this box are probably... they are probably not good."
Qiqi didn't say anything, and before he got close, he had already smelled a rotten smell. It smelled very bad. When he got closer, his stomach immediately rolled up.
Xiao Yu'er had already smelled it, it was the corpse! She stepped forward and blocked Qiqi, turned around and said to the two people on the other end, "Open the box."
When the two soldiers guarding the wooden box heard this, they immediately opened the wooden box. After the wooden box was opened, one of the soldiers was startled and hurriedly reported to Qiqi: "The Empress is the corpse."
Qiqi wanted to go around, but Xiao Yu'er stopped him and said, "Let me go and see."
"No, I'll go see." Qiqi's voice was extremely dull. In fact, he had already expected what he was going to see. He took every step and took extremely heavy steps.
When she saw the decayed bodies in the wooden box that were still visible, she closed her eyes and felt heavy.
He ordered them to go to the imperial city of Jin and assassinate Dongling Tuori's confidants, asking them to create a misunderstanding between Dongling Haotian and Dongling Tuori and arouse their conflicts, but he did not expect that Dongling Haotian would be able to see through it.
She didn't look at the third prince, no wonder he suddenly chose to join forces with Dongling Takuri to deal with them.
"Girl..." Xiao Yu'er felt a little uneasy when she looked at her. These were all from their mercenary organization, and she sent them out in person.
"Where is Tang Sui? Is Tang Sui back with news?" Qiqi looked at Xiao Yu'er and asked in a deep voice. He was actually a little nervous. These people were killed, so... what about Tang Sui?
She ordered Xiao Yu'er to ask the people from the world's No. 1 village to help them do this. Now these people have been exposed. Will Tang Sui...
"I think Master Tang must be fine." Xiao Yu'er looked at her and comforted softly: "If Master Tang also encountered an accident, there would be more than the corpses of these brothers sent back today, and there would definitely be Master Tang's."
With such an important figure in it, how could Dongling Haotian not transport his body back? If the body was transported back was Tang Sui's body, the blow to the girl would definitely be even heavier.
"Have you received their news recently?" Qiqi asked again.
Xiao Yu'er shook her head and her face became serious. Even if Tang Sui was not killed, she probably wouldn't have lived a good life. Maybe she was injured and found a place to hide it.
After a while of silence, Qiqi looked at Xiao Yu'er and said helplessly: "I ordered someone to bury them well, do they still have family?"
"No." Xiao Yu'er's voice was also extremely dull. She personally selected and trained these brothers.
Although everyone has not been together all the time in the past two years, they often meet each other a few times. Now that they are like this, she feels very uncomfortable.
"They are orphans. The girl said at the beginning that she was afraid that they would encounter unexpected problems while performing their mission, so..."
She didn't continue to say it, sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "I will order people to bury them well. Please don't affect your mood because of this. You still have a lot to do."
"I know." Qiqi's face had calmed down. Finally, she glanced at the corpses of the brothers. She said in a deep voice: "The war is about to break out, and now we are in short supply. The burial matter is mainly simple, so do not be extravagant."
Even if she is sorry for them, she has no choice. Once this war starts, they will be short of everything.
Xiao Yu'er nodded and said, "I understand."
After taking a look at the corpse again, she ordered people to close the wooden box and walk away with the two soldiers.
Until they could not see them, Qiqi let go of her palm that had been tightly clasped and turned back to the tent.
Dongling Haotian, when he was letting him go back, he planned to use him to restrain Dongling Tuori, but he didn't expect that now he would let the tiger return to the mountain. She was completely wrong in this step!
The 400,000 army is even more terrifying than the 300,000 army of the Dongling Tuori at that time. How should she break this situation?
...
In the study room of Wuxia Palace, the light of the night pearl illuminated the whole room as bright as daytime. The night was already deep, but the two people here were still reading the memorials carefully, picking up their brushes from time to time and writing straight.
It was not until the evening breeze that seeped out of the window blew the man in white's hair, and the hair brushed past his eyes and confused his vision. He brushed the silk and looked out the window, and then he suddenly realized that it was getting late.
Putting the brush back on the pen holder, Chu Jiangnan looked at Peng Fengshang, who was sitting down and still focusing on the memorials, and said warmly: "Teacher Peng, it's getting late, you can go back early to rest."
Peng Fengshang was stunned and nodded at him, but he still kept writing with a pen without saying a word.
After about a stick of incense, he took the pen and put the memorial open to let it dry. After looking back at Chu Jiangnan, who was sitting behind the desk, he said, "Prince, the war in the northern border city is in urgent need. According to the spy's return, General Ye's army seems to be defeated. Will this news be sent to Xurong City?"
Chu Jiangnan glanced at him indifferently and said in a deep voice: "No need."
This news didn't need to be delivered by him at all. Xiao Yu'er's men had countless spies, and the news must have been spread to Qiqi.
Mr. Peng probably knew what was going on. He put away the memorial, stood up and looked at him in a deep voice: "Prince, I have read the memorial delivered today briefly. There is no urgent matter, but..."
"But what?" Chu Jiangnan looked at him and asked calmly.
Peng Fengshang said again: "The war in the border city has lasted for more than half a month. The people in the border city live in poverty, especially the war boils down the cities. The people live in dire straits, and the ministers are worried that they will not have enough food."
Now April is not afraid of the people suffering from cold, but the food is extremely important.
This problem has been considered recently by Chu Jiangnan. This is not only the difficulties faced by northern cities, but also the same in Xurong City and Qingyue City.
Once the war begins, the food storage will be in a hurry. In addition, their Xuan Kingdom has just been established for a short time and there is not much surplus.
"I'll think of a solution to this matter. Mr. Peng will go back to his mansion to rest first. It's almost midnight." In recent days, due to the war, many emergency situations in the border town have been sent back. He is indeed unable to do anything alone. Fortunately, Peng Fengshang is here.
Peng Fengshang is a serious and rigorous person. Even he has to admit that he has much experience in managing national affairs than himself. Qiqi promoted him as the Grand Tutor, and he really found the right person.
Peng Fengshang had doubts, but when he looked out the window and looked at the night, although he didn't feel tired, he didn't want to disturb the regent's rest. If he didn't leave, the prince would probably not go back to his room to bed.
After sorting out the things on the table, he stepped out of the desk and leaned forward to Chu Jiangnan and said, "Then the minister will surrender first, and the prince will go back to his room to rest early, and he will go to court tomorrow."
"Okay." Chu Jiangnan waved his hand.
After Peng Fengshang stepped down, he read the memorials in the room for a while, and reviewed the remaining memorials. Then he put away his pen, stood up, loosened his muscles and bones, and walked out of the door.
But as soon as he left the door, he suddenly felt a strange aura in the yard. His eyes were gathered in a corner of the yard and suddenly called out: "Ghost Su."
This time Guisu came a little slow. People were not here at first, so they went to the Wuchen Palace to patrol. They had just returned to the yard now.
"Master." When he came to him, he leaned forward and was about to salute, but Gui Su suddenly looked dark and he turned his head and looked into the distance.
Chu Jiangnan nodded and said softly: "Please come here."
Gui Su didn't say much, and he took a step under his feet and jumped over in a blink of an eye.
Chu Jiangnan walked to the corridor and leaned on the railing to watch the movements on the side. He didn't expect that Gui Su did not fight with the person who came. After a while, two figures jumped down from the tree and came to this side together.
After looking closely, Chu Jiangnan's heart was shocked. He hurriedly walked around the corridor, strode towards him, and came to the woman in black. He whispered: "Mother, why are you here?"
Bu Jinghua opened his mouth, and before he could speak, a mouthful of turbid blood gushed out, his eyes rolled, and he fell down.
Chu Jiangnan was startled and hurriedly helped her up. He looked at Gui Su and said anxiously: "Speak up to the imperial physician, come here!"
...Bu Jinghua's injuries were not light. Two sword injuries in the abdomen had been simply bandaged. A palm was hit on her back. The palm force was extremely strong, which hurt her heart. It was not easy for her to support her coming here and meet Chu Jiangnan.
That night, the imperial doctor treated her, and she didn't wake up slowly until dawn.
Seeing Chu Jiangnan who had been guarding the bed, her thin lips moved slightly and wanted to speak, but Chu Jiangnan said, "Mother, you are too seriously injured and should not speak. The imperial doctor has ordered someone to decoct medicine and will come back soon. Mother, please take a rest for a while."
