Tang riddles

The sage ordered Li Jinyue to marry Li Changxue. This order was extremely unexpected news to everyone in Fan Yang, Youzhou, who had a slight status.No one thought that the sage would actually let a person who was unrestrained and had never set foot in the officialdom to worship the most prestigious princess in charge of the Tang army.

What does this move mean?The moment Li Jinyue received the order, everyone began to think about it.Cui Pan's face was pale and he was greatly shocked; after Xue Song's initial surprise, he began to quickly speculate on the saint's intentions.Although he didn't understand why the sage had such a marriage proposal for the time being, it didn't prevent him from gloating and laughing at the frustrated Cui Pan.

No one noticed, Yang Yuhuan's small figure swayed twice on the horse, and almost fell off the horse.

In Shen Sui's original idea, the sage would choose a son from the three great families of Youzhou, Xue, Cui, and Li, to marry Li Jinyue, so that the sage could further control the military power in Youzhou.The Xue family is most likely to be Xue Song, and the Cui family is Cui Pan. Regarding the Li family, Shen Sui initially thought that the possibility was not very high. Such as Shiro and Liulang, not a literati who doesn't even intend to enter the officialdom.From Shen Sui's point of view, Xue Song's possibility was originally the greatest. Li Jinyue and Xue Song's marriage would make it easy for the sage to firmly control the entire military power in Heshuo.

Shen Sui then thought that there might be two reasons for the sage to do this: [-]. He had completely lost trust in the Xue family and planned to uproot the Xue family, so he didn't want his daughter to have anything to do with the Xue family.Second, her trust in Li Jinyue is still weak. He has always been suspicious of his eldest daughter, and he sees through that Li Jinyue has unreasonable ambitions, and she may follow in the footsteps of her aunt and grandma, leading the government and bringing him huge troubles.Therefore, he was always worried about letting his daughter grasp the military power of Heshuo's army at once.

In addition, Fan Yang and the Li family belonged to the saint, and they have always been loyal for several years.Li Changxue is a dandy from a family without any court resources in his hands, and also a beautiful man who fascinates women. In the eyes of a saint, this person happens to be Li Jinyue's good companion.The sage wants to weaken Li Jinyue's fighting spirit, make her indulge in the gentleness of the countryside, and let her never think of leaving in the distant place of Youzhou.This trick of beauty is really a stroke of genius.

The arrival of the imperial decree completely makes the game meaningless.Li Jinyue behaved very calmly. After receiving the order, she proposed to entertain the edict-delivering officials who came from afar.The arrival of this internal official is obviously not as simple as delivering an order. He is here to supervise the marriage. Before Li Jinyue and Li Changxue get married, he will never return to Beijing to return to his order.Therefore, Li Jinyue's first reaction was to have a good relationship with this internal official in order to find a chance to turn things around.

"It's been 14 years since I joined the army at the age of 15. 15 years! He has never changed his attitude towards me. When he can use it, he will send me out to lead the army to fight. He is worthless and wants me to marry like the daughter of an ordinary family. Husband, bear children. To him, I am like a tool that can be used, and I will throw it away when it is useless!"

When the city gate parted, Li Jinyue gritted her teeth and dragged Shen Sui to the corner to say these words.

"Mao, be patient, the time has not yet come. Besides, after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I don't know how the situation in Fan Yang will change, hold your breath." Shen Sui urged softly.

The sudden imperial decree from the saint obviously disturbed Li Jinyue's emotions seriously, but now is not the time to solve this matter.Shen Sui still has more important things to do, Li Jinyue can only deal with them by herself.And the purpose of covering Shen Sui's exit from the city was easily achieved by coincidence.Right now the city is very lively, the imperial decree was announced on the street, making the marriage between Princess Jin and Jiulang of the Li family instantly become a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys. At this moment, no one would care where the little official Shen Sui went.

For the next thing, Shen Sui could only do it by himself.

Li Jinyue didn't answer, she just stared at Shen Sui for a while with red eyes, and then said after a while:

"Be careful." Then he turned his horse's head and left slowly.

Shen Sui watched her go, until she saw no one, she said to Hu Tuo who had been standing beside her horse:

"Set off."

"Here."

Hu Tuo hurriedly jumped onto the shaft of the carriage behind, raised his whip and drove the carriage towards the south gate, while Shen Sui rode his horse to lead the way.After leaving the south gate of Fanyang City, they went south along the official road. Shen Sui kept an eye on the surroundings. She released four birds to investigate. After traveling for about five miles, she confirmed that no one was following her, so she turned the horse's head. , turned from going south to going southeast.The carriage got off the official road and entered the side road on the side of the field.

The road was bumpy, Shen Sui rode to the side of the car, and asked inwardly:

"Lianmaid, how is it? Will it be very bumpy? How is Qin Nu, is there any discomfort?"

"It's fine, the car is very comfortable." Zhang Ruohan's answer came, and then the closed window opened, and Shen Sui saw the scene inside.

The partition lining Zhang Ruohan's back has been removed, revealing the figures of Shen Jin, Ying Niang and Wu Ya hiding behind it.Fortunately, the compartment is spacious, so there are so many people in it, it is not very crowded.Shen Jin lay on the floor of the carriage with his legs curled up, with a thick mattress under his body, and his head was resting on the legs of the bride.Wu Ya was holding a fan to fan her to cool off the heat. It was almost noon, and the carriage was really stuffy.The bride looked at Shen Sui and said:

"Qin Nu just woke up, and the fever hasn't subsided."

Seeing Shen Jin showing her a weak smile, Shen Sui pursed his lips.Last night, Qin Nu developed a high fever overnight, and it has not subsided this morning. The repeated blows were unbearable for her.But the illness was in her body, and the pain was in Shen Sui's heart. God knows how much she wanted to find out the murderer of the bluebird and tear her to pieces.She could only desperately suppress her emotions and force herself to remain calm.Her plan is proceeding step by step, and she warns herself to proceed step by step and not to be impatient.

She secretly brought her family out together, the purpose of which was to leave the city for a while.And this matter cannot be known to the spies of the cult who are densely distributed in Fanyang City, otherwise they will be aware of it, and Shen Sui's plan will fall short.Shen Sui knew that in at least two more hours, there would be chaos in Fan Yang City, and it would also affect her new house that Fan Yang just bought.Therefore, she had to take advantage of the opportunity of Eid al-Adha to move her family out of the city in advance.

The Zhang family parted ways with them. Feng Zijian escorted them out of the city from the east gate in the morning, and they should have arrived at the meeting place by now.

Crossing the ridge path, the fields were gradually left behind, and they entered the dirt road up the mountain.In the distance is a hill in the southeastern outskirts of Fanyang City, which is not high and has dense forests.But except for the nearby farmers who occasionally go up the mountain to cut firewood, almost no one would take this path.However, there is a villa there that is usually uninhabited, the owner is Feng Zijian, and most of the nearby farmland is Feng Zijian's land, and the farmers living here are almost all tenants.

That villa is Shen Sui's destination.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Shen Sui could already see the people who greeted them in the distance.Sure enough, Feng Zijian had arrived a long time ago, and now he was riding his horse to greet him. Behind him, there was an unexpected visitor: Xu Jie.Earlier, Xu Jie had received a request from Shen Sui to invite Zhang's family to go hunting in the eastern suburbs of Fanyang in the name of the princess, so that the Zhang family had a legitimate cover for going out of the city.

"Old Feng, Mr. Xu." Shen Sui saluted immediately.

"Master, you are finally here, we are worried about what happened." Feng Zi insisted.

"The south city gate is blocked, and the saint has just announced an urgent decree, referring to marry the princess and Li Jiulang."

Xu Jie was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Where is the princess now?"

"She is going to entertain the official who delivered the decree, so she can't come out for the time being." Then she added, "Don't worry, as long as the military doesn't mutiny, the princess will not be in danger. The Gongyue army camp is bigger than our current place." Safety."

Xu Jie thought about it for a while, and nodded. The group of people will stay together and go to the villa.

"I don't know if the Xue brothers will take action. If the Xue family's army rises, I am afraid that the Gongyue army will not be able to resist it." Xu Jie said, "However, the Gongyue army has experienced many battles, and self-protection is not a problem. I heard , Li Changxue seems to have contacts with the Xue family, this person may not be as disdainful of fame as he appears on the surface."

Shen Sui nodded, remembering that Yingniang had told her that Li Changxue brought Li Jilan to visit Xue Chuyu, she felt that maybe Xue and Li were secretly conspiring to do something, and she realized that this matter might be kept secret by Li Changyun, the head of the Li family. Or acquiescence.He didn't come forward in person, which meant that the Li family didn't want to bring this matter to the fore.Is it fear?Still ulterior motives?Shen Sui didn't know yet.Li Jilan has lost contact with Shen Sui and others, and now she is still temporarily living in the Li Mansion, which is her original home, and the Li Mansion has accepted her again.Her seemingly ungrateful behavior angered many of Shen Sui's subordinates, but Shen Sui never took any action against her.Her purpose is to observe.

However, during these days when Shen Sui came to Fan Yang, one thing has been confirmed.The Xue brothers really have nothing to do with cults.But Mrs. Xue knows the existence of the cult and regards it as a great enemy, and the cult has always wanted to control the Xue family army under Mrs. Xue.The contradiction between the two has become so acute that it cannot be reconciled.

"Any new news?" Shen Sui asked Feng Zijian.

"There are sect masters." Feng Zijian replied immediately, "The brothers who have been arranged are already in place, and the action will start as soon as the time comes. The net has already been cast out, and all points are under control. The upstream catches fish, and the downstream collects the net .And door master, we found the entrance."

"it is good."

"Besides, this morning, we cleared out the cult spies hiding inside us. She read the three letters, and she should have taken the bait. Later we tracked her down and found out that she is the actual person in charge of Fan Yang Yaxing, the vampire."

Shen Sui smiled and said nothing.

Their conversation did not avoid Xu Jie, Xu Jie was confused and looked at Shen Sui questioningly.Shen Sui simply explained to Xu Jie.

"Then, what are the three letters that Bo Zhao showed that man?" Xu Jie asked.

"The first letter is a nationwide arrest warrant for people pretending to be bluebirds; the second letter is a letter to Yang Bi in Luoyang. I want Yang Bi to lobby King Shou and Concubine Wu Hui to let them take action so that the sage can take back the marriage offer. Avoid remarriage; the third letter is sent to Huzhou, the content is to let the local Qianyumen investigate Huzhou's recorded household registration migration during the Nanliang period."

Xu Jie groaned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled: "Bo Zhao is brilliant. Let the other party confirm that we already know that Mrs. Zhang San is pregnant is what the other party deliberately facilitated, and confuse the other party's illusion that we are taking refuge in Concubine Wu Hui, so that the other party is careless. , avoiding the truth and pretending to be false, interesting."

Shen Sui smiled and nodded.

"It's just that I don't understand the third letter, what is Bo Zhao's intention?" Xu Jie asked.

"This is to let the other party know that I am investigating the affairs between Wu Xingshen's family and our family." Yin's secret cannot be hidden from Li Jinyue and her cronies, so Xu Jie, Cheng Yan and others know about it. In this matter, "This is a game of probing, and it depends on how the other party will react. I want to know when the cult and my family began to have a relationship, and whether there has ever been a cult in my family. traitor."

Having reached the gate of the villa, Shen Sui got off his horse, and while arranging the harness, continued to talk to Xu Jie:

"These three letters are inducement letters, but I actually sent the other three letters, which have already been passed on to Fan Yang by a special person. One of the most wanted letters in the whole territory is that I really want to arrest people pretending to be bluebirds; the letter to Yang Bi The second is, but I want Yang Bi to lobby the third prince Li Jun instead of Concubine Wu Hui; Huzhou is the third, the content is not only to check the household registration, but also to pay attention to whether suspicious people will come to destroy the household registration and interfere with the investigation. I hope these three letters Believe me, you can get results."

When Shen Sui led the crowd into the villa, Zhang's father and son had already been waiting for a long time.They didn't ask any more questions, but each took a look at Shen Sui, with doubts that could not be concealed in their eyes.Shen Sui didn't explain, and Zhang Ruohan patted her on the back reassuringly, and then greeted her father and brother. Next, she will be responsible for explaining the current situation to Zhang and his son.Of course, what should be concealed will continue to be concealed.

Suddenly there was a cry of an eagle in the sky, and Bai Hao descended from the sky.Hu Tuo raised his arms high, Bai Hao lowered steadily, and a new message had been delivered.

After Shen Sui finished reading, he curled the corners of his lips:

"The action has begun. Lao Feng! Get ready to go, don't let the big fish slip away."

"Here!"

Shen Sui quickly changed into a black outfit that was easy to move, took Hu Tuo, Feng Zijian and a few brothers, bid farewell to Zhang Ruohan, Shen Jin and others, and rode their horses up the mountain. Not long after, they came to a water mist diffuse place.There, Huyan Zhuoma and Congyun Congyu had been waiting for a long time.

"Is this the hot spring?" Shen Sui asked.

"Yes, door master." Cong Yun replied, "We have dug the entrance." He pointed to a newly dug hole on the side of the hillside not far from the hot spring.It was pitch black under it, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Let's go."

Everyone put on a mask at the same time. The outer shell of the mask is made of metal. The appearance is rough, not exquisite, and glowing with coldness.The eyes are inlaid with transparent glass for protection, the mouth and nose are hollowed out, and multiple layers of gauze are sewn.Shen Sui tightened his belt, gripped the snow knife in his hand, and got into the hole first.Afterwards, Hutuo, Congyun, Congyu, Huyan Zhuoma, Feng Zijian and four strong Qianyumen brothers also entered, leaving only two brothers to guard outside the cave.

A north wind blew through the branches, and the jungle rustled, as if whispering something...

The author has something to say: Knowing that the blue robin is a fake, the purpose is to promote Chilian's child, Chishi would not have thought that there should be problems with An Lushan's cutting her hand and the female slave.All questions will soon be answered.
