How could a small servant have the courage to murder the fifth prince? What's more, such a precise layout is something that a small servant can never do, and there must be someone behind it.
Who is the one?
Guan Yubai's eyes drooped slightly, contemplating.
The third prince contributed to this request for rain. If something happened to the fifth prince, his guilt would not be escaped, and the emperor would probably take anger directly. Today, he has already lost the favor of the emperor, and his power in the court is weak. Even without the fifth prince, he will not be able to ascend to the throne, and he will only get fishy.
The eldest prince has a reckless temperament. If it was said that he was impulsive and bribed the chamberlain to push the fifth prince down the steps, it would be very likely, but this matter was done so carefully, it was not like his style of doing things.
so……
Is it the second prince Han Lingguan?
The second prince has always been good at hiding. He is not as reckless as the eldest prince, nor does he show everything to others like the third prince. He has always been cautious and meticulous in his work, which is quite in line with his style.
"Chirp—"
A tender cry interrupted Guan Yubai's thoughts. The sound came from the desk by the window, and a fluffy white eagle was seen sticking its head out of the bamboo basket. With a bright yellow sharp beak, she cried pitifully...
The small sound immediately attracted several attention, from Guan Yubai and Xiao Si in the room to Xiao Hui outside the room, all of them looked at the case.
Xiao Hui flapped his wings and flew down from the tree in the courtyard, stopped on the window sill, and affectionately pecked the fluff under his wings for Xiao Hanyu.
Xiao Si looked at Xiao Hui with disgust, and was thinking about driving it away, when Guan Yubai walked over to the window, stretched out a forefinger and rubbed it on Han Yu's neck, Han Yu immediately put his little head together past.
Obviously, on weekdays, most of the little Sis take care of it, but Han Yu is the closest to Guan Yubai. When he feels the breath of Guan Yubai, the cry of "啾啾——" is even more pitiful, and it seems that it is still revealing. A coquettish connotation.
Xiao Si went to the side and brought a large celadon bowl over, and placed it on the table. Inside was half a bowl of diced meat with bloodshot eyes.
Guan Yubai picked up the diced meat with chopsticks, as if he was feeding Han Yu leisurely.
Xiao Hui tilted his neck and stared at him coldly with a pair of golden eagle eyes.
Han Yu was obviously hungry, and he ate quickly one by one.
Guan Yubai looked at Han Yu with soft eyes, just like Han Yu, the fifth prince today is just a fragile young eagle, attached to the eagle of the emperor. Down... Whether he can fly again depends on his life.
If the fifth prince really can't escape this disaster, then the situation in the capital is bound to undergo earth-shaking changes again...
After a while, half a bowl of diced pork was completely eaten, Guan Yubai wiped his hands with a white towel and returned to the desk.
If this is really what the second prince did, then he should try to frame the eldest prince and push the whole thing onto the eldest prince...
Guan Yubai didn't have much interest in the battle for the throne, but if he wanted to live in peace in the southern border, some things still couldn't be out of his control.
He quickly wrote a letter on a piece of silk paper, carefully folded it, put it in a small bamboo tube, and said, "Little Si, send this letter for me. Let Baihui tell you something... "Speaking, Guan Yubai carefully explained the fifth prince's injury and the current condition.
Xiao Si responded with a sound, took out a grey pigeon from the pigeon cage, and carefully tied the bamboo tube to its leg.
He glanced at the grey eagle that was combing its feathers on the table, took the opportunity to release the pigeon, and then went to Baihui...
When Nangong Yue heard Baihui's message, her whole body was stunned, her hand could not help shaking, a mask she had just picked up fell into the pot full of medicinal juice, and the hot medicinal liquid splashed She got up, leaving mottled medicinal stains on her purple skirt.
"...Young Master said, Second Young Master donated the life-saving pills you left behind, and the Fifth Prince's life will be safe for the time being."
After Baihui finished speaking, seeing that Nangongyue had not moved for a long time, she picked up the other pair of long chopsticks on her own, clipped the mask that had just fallen, and skillfully placed it on the dripper on the side to drip dry concoction.
Nangong Yue came back to her senses and sighed slightly, "What else did you say, Mr. Guan?"
Baihui replied, "Young Master said that he has sent someone to pay attention to the movements of the capital. If there is any change in the fifth prince's condition, he will come to let you know."
Nangong Yue nodded and said nothing.
She lowered her head and checked the mask carefully, stirred the pot of medicine again, and after confirming the heat, she said, "Thrush, bring this pot of medicine to the front yard."
A large number of medicinal materials have not been delivered, but there are still medicinal materials in Yanding City. Yesterday, the military came forward and recruited some doctors in Yanding City. Early this morning, those doctors came with their apprentices. Most of these apprentices were orphans in the city. Although Nangong Yue proposed to let the doctors accept some orphans as apprentices, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai discussed it and finally accepted them. The apprentices are not only doctors, but also some craftsmen, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, weavers, embroidery workshops, etc.... Some orphans in the city can also be counted on.
Of course, this adoption is voluntary.
Although craftsmen want to pass on their craftsmanship, orphans need a craftsmanship to make a living.
Now, these doctors and apprentices who were urgently recruited as military doctors have helped the Southern Border Army a lot.
The concoction in this pot was prepared by Nangong Yue himself. Today, let them help soak and dry the masks, so that these doctors can get used to it.
Thrush went to do it in a hurry, Baihui handed her a damp cloth to wipe her hands, and said, "Prince Prince, would you like to rest for a while?"
"No." Nangong Yue shook her head, "Get things done early, so as not to miss important military affairs..."
The batch of pills sent from Luoyue City went into the warehouse after being counted yesterday. This is already the third batch. The previous two batches were all sent to Yanding City after being personally inspected by Nangong Yue, and now this batch is naturally She also needs to test it before it can be distributed.
Nangong Yue took Baihui on the way to the warehouse, still thinking about the Fifth Prince.
The life-saving pills she left behind can indeed protect the heart in an emergency, but this does not mean that the disease can be cured, especially because the fifth prince is in critical condition due to a fall on his head, relying on the life-saving pills alone is useless.
When I first met the little prince, after escaping a life-and-death catastrophe, he grew up slowly. Nangong Yue was very relieved to see it in his eyes, but now... Is this destined?
Nangong Yue was in a very downhearted mood. She was now far away in the southern border, and she was more than enough.
The condition of the fifth prince is mostly based on silver needles, supplemented by decoction, but the acupuncture points on the head are very important, and there cannot be the slightest mistake, even if he has his pulse case, before seeing his condition with his own eyes, It was difficult for Nangong Yue to come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.
"Prince Prince." Baihui called out, "The storeroom is here."
Nangong Yue settled down, this batch of medicines is of great importance, and there must be no mistake.
The moment she stepped into the warehouse, she was fully focused.
In an afternoon, Nangong Yue picked up all the medicines and checked them one by one, and then asked Baihui to destroy one of the small boxes.
On the same day, Guan Yubai ordered the medicine to be distributed.
The prince Xiao Yi led 20,000 people to go on an expedition. Today's Yanding City has three battalions of Yuyu, Xiandeng and Xianfeng for defense. The three battalions have a total of 5,000 people. Once the enemy forces have a large-scale change, they will definitely not be able to escape their eyes and ears.
The defenders in Yanding City, including the God Arm Battalion, also numbered 5,000.
A total of 10,000 defenders will not have any problem in the face of small-scale enemy raids. Even if the enemy invades in a large scale, it will take at least one day and one night to march from Dengli City to Yanding City. There are three battalions of patrolling guards. They will be discovered before they approach the Yanding City boundary. Yanding City can also enter martial law immediately, and only need to hold on for two or three days, and the prince Xiao Yi will be able to lead the army back to the rescue in time.
Therefore, Yanding City must be worry-free.
It is mid-November, which is the most prosperous season of Qianmanlan. More pollen is falling along the Yanlai River Basin. . This time was no exception. Guan Yubai made the call, and all the medicines were sent to the three camps.
No need to be overwhelmed by "acclimatization", the soldiers of the third battalion naturally cheered.
Nangong Yue, who had completed this major event, was also relieved. In the following days, she was busy teaching the doctors in the city to make a concoction. Two days later, Luo Yuecheng sent a large number of medicinal materials, and the doctors were all on it. Hand, soon, a mask soaked in concoction was dried...
Time passed quickly in the busyness. In the evening of this day, outside Yanding City, on the northeast side of Yulan Mountain, a group of hundreds of elite soldiers from Nanliang walked silently at night, from a mountain path around the mountain. And down, came to the upper reaches of the Yanlai River.
At this moment, the sky is lit up, and the sky looks gray-blue, only the golden half-moon-shaped light in the east...
"Captain," a few agile spies returned after exploring the way. "The younger ones have already explored the surrounding area for a mile, but they haven't seen anyone from the Southern Border Army."
The leader of the team was a lean middle-aged centurion. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their whereabouts had not been exposed.
Lieutenant General Conanli's lessons from the annihilation of the entire army in the swamp are still in front of him, and the thousand commanders are most afraid of repeating the same mistakes - also being ambushed by the Southern Border Army.
They can't go wrong anymore!
"Hurry up and act!"
After the commander gave an order, hundreds of elite soldiers moved into action, untied the baggage behind their backs, and threw the powder in the baggage into the river...
The milky white powder was like a piece of goose feather snow, falling down with the cold wind, and finally fell into the clear river water, disappearing with the gurgling water, as if it had never existed...
The corners of the Thousand Master's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
In addition to the wells in Yanding City, the Yanlai River is the only source of water for several kilometers. According to the news from Baolahe, the camps stationed outside the city basically sent people to the river around the clock. Take water. It is now halfway through the 1990s, the powder sprinkled will go downstream with the water flow, and then be taken away by the Southern Border Army, and they will only think that the powder in the water is the pollen of Qianmanlan... The opportunity is fleeting, they must Hurry up!
At this time, a sentry scout hurried over, clasped his fists and said, "Captain, there are more than ten people from the Southern Border Army coming here..."
The other party seems to be coming early... The commander frowned and made a gesture to signal his brothers to retreat quickly, while he himself brought two personal soldiers to the rear, making sure that there was no trace of powder left nearby, they The three swiftly climbed to a few big trees.
After a while, I saw fifteen or sixteen Southern Border Army soldiers walking towards this side with buckets, talking and laughing, seemingly without any precautions.
The three Nanliang people hiding in the tree held their breath unconsciously and did not move.
The dozen or so soldiers of the Southern Border Army quickly stopped by the river, and the Nanliang Commander who was hiding in a tree not far away, his eyes were shining, staring at them, thinking in his heart: Quickly get water ! Get water now!
Seeing those soldiers leaning over and scooping up water from the river with buckets, there was another sound not far away, and some soldiers of the Southern Border Army came over, some carrying buckets, some holding water bladders... This The two groups of people were obviously acquaintances, and they greeted each other regardless of how much water they filled. Seeing that on the one hand, the commander Nanliang was happy that the news from Baulach was good, on the other hand, he was impatient.
Fortunately, the soldiers only said a few words, and then they each took water and returned the same way with full buckets and water bags...
It was not until their figures completely disappeared in the woods that the commander and the two personal soldiers turned over and descended the tree neatly.
One of the dark-skinned personal soldiers couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Captain, it's not even time yet. Presumably those southern border troops have just stood up. After a while, there will definitely be more people fetching water along the river. By then..."
Having said that, the personal soldiers couldn't help thinking of the fate of those southern border troops, and their blood boiled.
The Thousand Commander glanced in the direction of Yulan Mountain and said, "Let's go, let's go to meet the five kings!"
Counting the time, the 20,000 troops led by the five kings should be able to arrive within an hour. By that time, all the southern border troops stationed outside Yanding City will be poisoned, and their Nanliang army will be able to drive straight in, until they reach Yanding. under the city.
Xiao Yi had already taken away most of Yanding City's troops, and then removed the soldiers who were stationed outside the city. The Southern Border Army guards left in the city were only four or five thousand at most, comparable to their 20,000 Nanliang army. Compared, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Xiao Yiyuan was in Yongjia City, even if he received a request for help and rushed back, it would be too late!
What's more, they still have an important chess piece...
With "it", let alone a day, I'm afraid it won't take half a day to break the city!
Yanding City will definitely return to their Nanliang hands again!
The more the commander thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but glanced in the direction of Yanding City...
At this moment, on the streets of Yanding City, people began to travel one after another, and a new day began.
The main gate of the garrison mansion was wide open, and Sun Xinyi and her maid Caiwei were greeted by a green-robed old lady smilingly into the mansion, and led the master and servant to the second gate, only to see a blue-covered carriage already parked there. The child waited aside, and after busying himself, he put a few baskets on the carriage.
The old lady in Tsing Yi who was leading the way said politely, "Miss Sun, you can wait here, Concubine Shi and Miss Han will be here soon."
Sun Xinyi raised her eyes and looked forward, and saw that Nangongyue and Han Qixia were walking towards this side hand in hand, the two were chatting and laughing.
Sun Xinyi's gaze stopped on Han Qixia's body for a moment, and there was an almost imperceptible coldness in her eyes.
At first, she didn't think to invite Han Qixia, but that day, when she was leaving the garrison, she happened to meet Han Qixia, and she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Han Qixia. The people of Nanliang wanted to target the imperial concubine, but Han Qixia's existence was too troublesome for him.
As long as there is no Han Qixia, I and Fu Yunhe will have a chance!
Thinking of the scenes from these days, Sun Xinyi gritted her teeth, a ruthless flash of ferocity flashed in her eyes, blame Han Qixia why she insisted on going against her, don't blame herself for killing someone with a knife! ... She forced herself all of this!
Sun Xinyi thought so in her heart, but there was a gentle and warm smile on her face. She took a few steps forward on the ground and bowed to the two with a smile: "I have seen the princess, Miss Han."
After the three of them greeted each other, they boarded the blue-covered carriage one by one. After a while, the carriage slowly drove out of the garrison, and went all the way along Dong'an Avenue towards the front gate...
In the carriage, Sun Xinyi sat opposite Nangong Yue, looking at the carriage without a trace. From the outside, this carriage looks ordinary, but when you sit inside, you know that this carriage is specially designed. The inside of the carriage is more spacious and comfortable than it looks on the surface. Does not appear crowded.
Moreover, the various arrangements from curtains, carpets to box-type benches, etc., are very elegant, low-key but not luxurious, and even the carriage is much smoother than ordinary carriages.
Sun Xinyi can be sure that even when her father, Sun Weiwei, was still alive, the carriage of her first mother, Mrs. Sun, could not compare to this one...
Since Nangongyue came to Yanding City, she has always acted in a simple and low-key manner. Even if Sun Xinyi knew that the other party's status was much higher than her own, she did not feel the huge gap. Only now did she get a glimpse of it.
The other party is the imperial concubine, and she is different from herself in terms of identity, status, food and clothing costs... Whether it is in the past or now.
Sun Xinyi half-closed her eyes, hiding the strange look in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Prince Prince, Miss Han, I made some snacks with my own hands this morning, and I will invite you two to taste them."
At the same time as she spoke, the maid Caiwei had already opened the food box, and saw a few plates of jujube mud yam cakes in the mahogany food box.
Inside the carriage, the girls laughed and laughed; outside the carriage, the streets were empty, with only a few pedestrians passing by occasionally.
"Da da da……"
The guard house was not far from the city gate. After a while, the carriage came to Shunde Street, which led directly to the city gate. There was a sudden noise from all around, and only the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. Several people ran and shouted. :
"The army of Nanliang is here!"
"The Nanliang army is approaching the city!"
"..."
The driver slowed down the horse with an "applying" sound, and asked at a loss, "Miss Baihui..."
"Brother Yang, pull over and stop first."
Baihui glanced at Nangong Yue, and hurriedly gave instructions to the driver.
The carriage slowly stopped by the side of the road, Nangong Yue lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, only to see that the Shunde Street outside was a mess of porridge.
"Ta Tata..."
Under the leadership of the soldiers, groups of soldiers from the Southern Border Army quickly ran towards the city gate from all directions, and then rumbled to the city wall. After a while, the city wall was filled with rows of soldiers, or holding up Repeated crossbow, or pulled out a long knife, or set up a feather arrow... All of them are ready to go, just looking at their backs from below, I feel a strong sense of crisis.
At the same time, thousands of soldiers from the Southern Border Army came in like a tide, densely packed and packed.
Sun Xinyi opened the curtain on the other side of the carriage, also looking at the city wall from afar, and then her eyes slowly moved down, looking at the panicked people nearby, her eyes flashed, and for a moment, her eyes became more determined.
"Are the people from Nanliang really here?" Not far away, a young man in his twenties said anxiously.
"That's fake." A middle-aged aunt beside him frowned and said, "Since our Yanding City was recaptured, when have you seen the Southern Border Army so vigilant?!" The people sent envoys here, that is, hundreds of soldiers were dispatched.
"But, didn't Shizi go to lead his troops to attack Dengli City?" The young man became more and more nervous, and his voice trembled, "Why is this Nanliang man here again! Could it be that Shizi, he... "
"Don't talk nonsense!" A middle-aged man in his 40s walked up to the young man and interrupted him coldly, "The wise man of the world will definitely defeat the people of Nanliang!" He clenched his fists fiercely, gritted his back molars and said, "People from Nanliang killed my children and grandchildren, if I don't repay this revenge, I can't be considered a man!"
"That's right!" An old man with white hair and beard also echoed, "Even if I die, I will let someone from Nanliang bury the old man with me!" After speaking, he had already pulled out the hatchet from his waist, a pair of turbid His old eyes shone with hatred.
Seeing that the people were all angry, Sun Xinyi's eyes flashed with ridicule, and she said to herself, "It's really beyond our own power.
