Chapter 36: Ready to move

The undercurrent is stirring, and the clouds are surging in all directions.

On the second day, Chi Canghai went to greet Princess Meng early, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Lian Jinfeng, but he didn't feel any surprise in his heart.

After cleaning his hands, Chi Canghai took out the teapot to make tea for Princess Meng, chatted from time to time, and Lian Jinfeng who was on the side suddenly smiled and asked: "I heard that the second master Lin came to the house yesterday? It's a pity that Jinfeng is not here, and he never went there." Goodbye."

Chi Canghai covered his lips and coughed lightly, and said after a long while: "Second young master, you're being polite, it's fine. A few days ago, my uncle packed up his things and found some things from my mother's time at Lin's house, and wanted me to go and have a look."

Lian Jinfeng nodded slightly and said 'oh'.

Princess Meng frowned slightly, with a hint of distress in her eyes: "Danyang is also a careful person. Since it belongs to the Lin family, Canghai should be carefully put away. It is always a commemoration, so keep it in mind."

Chi Canghai smiled and said to Princess Meng: "Yes, mother, Canghai just wanted to tell you that he would go there today." After speaking, he coughed again.

Princess Meng frowned: "But are you sick?"

Chi Canghai: "Xu went to Yinglin Pavilion yesterday and caught a cold, so it's fine."

Princess Meng got up from the couch: "The cough is so severe, why is it not in the way, hurry up and ask a doctor to come and have a look."

Chi Canghai smiled and went over to help Princess Meng: "It's really not that serious. When I come back from my uncle, I will definitely ask the doctor to come and take a look."

Princess Meng glanced at him and nodded: "Then go early, so you can come back early to rest."

Chi Canghai bowed his head and saluted, slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Yes, mother."

When Chi Canghai came out of the tea room, he asked someone to prepare a carriage, and took Laixi to the Lin Mansion. Concubine Meng also said that she was tired and wanted to sleep for a while, so Lian Jinfeng invited Ann to leave. Only then did Princess Meng slowly open a note in her hand. It was stuffed into her hand when Chi Canghai came to help her just now. Looking at the words on it, Princess Meng frowned first: "Nonsense!" " But then he sighed with some distress: "This kid must have some other ideas."

Chi Canghai left the mansion in a carriage at noon, and came back in the afternoon. Lian Jinfeng watched from afar as Lai Xi helped him into the courtyard, covering him tightly with the cloak from head to toe, but he could still see that Lai Xi was walking from time to time. cough.

Not long after, the doctor came and went straight into Lian Jingxiao's yard. After the doctor left, Princess Meng also went to visit Chi Canghai in person. Afterwards, Chi Canghai didn't go to the front hall for dinner, so Laixi pressed Lian Jingxiao. The order was brought directly to the house.On the other hand, not long after Chi Canghai returned home, Second Master Lin took the caravan on another trip.

Lian Jinfeng couldn't help sneering when he heard the news reported by his servants: Lin Danyang is gone, Chi Canghai is ill, this is the best!

In the early morning of the second day, the cold wind was still bitter, and the fog had not dissipated, making the border even more white. The soldiers guarding the city saw a caravan coming from a long distance. The number of people was not too large, so it was not expected to be a big family. But when he saw the document handed over by the coachman, the little boss quickly trotted to the outside of the main carriage and saluted: "Greetings to the second master, are you going out again?"

The people in the car lifted the curtain and nodded: "Well, it's such a cold day, sir, you've worked hard."

As soon as the words fell, the driver took out a purse and handed it over, and the leader put it into his arms happily: "Don't dare, what did the second master say." Then he shouted: "Open the city gate."

The little soldier next to him asked in a low voice: "Is it released now? I haven't checked the convoy and accompanying people..."

The leader growled in annoyance, "You're blind, didn't you see whose convoy this is? Go and open the door."

"Yes." Xiaobing hurriedly replied, and ran over to open the door in fright.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the border, Lin Danyang put down the curtain of the car, turned his head and said to the people in the car: "Jing Xiao really agreed? I thought he wouldn't allow you to take this trip."

The young man in the car had a handsome face, but it was just a handsome face, a face that would not be noticed if placed in a crowd, but his expression was very calm, and he replied calmly, "Why not?"

Lin Danyang turned his head and glanced at the people around him. Although he knew who it was, he was still a little awkward when he heard this familiar voice coming from an unfamiliar face: "I didn't expect Ying Nineteen's disguise skills to be so powerful."

"I heard that Nineteen's Disguise Technique was handed down by Wei Xia Wuface." The young man who spoke was Chi Canghai who was supposed to be recuperating at Lian's house at the moment, and his current identity was Lin Danyang's attendant.

Chi Canghai didn't expect that Ying Nineteen's special skill was disguise. When he saw his current appearance in front of the bronze mirror, he didn't even recognize him.

Lin Danyang frowned slightly: "If people know how much Jing Xiao values ​​you now, you are their biggest target..."

Hearing Lin Danyang's words, Chi Canghai seemed to hear Lian Jingxiao's words again: You are my key, but you are not a burden...

He was indeed most afraid of becoming a burden. He was afraid that he would implicate Lian Jingxiao and the Zhennan Palace. He did not expect Lian Jingxiao to tell him clearly that he was not, or even if he really It's a burden, and that person has a way to solve everything... Chi Canghai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, this man is as arrogant as ever...

Thinking about it, he picked up the teacup in front of him and slowly turned it in his hand, and replied gently: "I believe in myself, and I also believe in him."

Lin Danyang smiled: "Indeed." If Chi Canghai could only be protected by his side, then it wouldn't be Lian Jingxiao... Then he thought of something and said: "The secret letter from the palace must have been received by him Bar?"

Thinking of the contents of the letter, Chi Canghai frowned slightly. At first, he wanted to ask Qiao Wenzhi to help him change his appearance, but he and Lian Jingxiao rushed back to Shanxi immediately after receiving the secret letter: "The letter is Got it, so..."

Lin Danyang: "So?"

Chi Canghai pursed his lips: "So don't stay in the hotel if you have caused uncle to go all the way, let's go as soon as possible, there are so many dreams in the night..."

Lin Danyang's eyes widened. This time the caravan has deliberately reduced the number of people just to hurry, but he has been in business for so many years, and he has never worked so hard. Although he understands that Chi Canghai's words are indeed reasonable, he also knows that he is in such a hurry. Isn't it because of Lian Jingxiao... Lin Danyang turned his head away and ignored him, muttering angrily: It's really a married nephew, the water that was thrown out.

Chi Canghai knew that the secret letter mentioned by Lin Danyang was the one that Lian Jingxiao received early yesterday morning. The letter said that the commander of the Youwei Battalion who defended against the Yuezhi army had been appointed by Emperor Zhengde as the general of the martial arts, Jiang Che. It is Empress Jiang's nephew.And the leader of the Zuowei Battalion turned out to be Weiyuan General Xiao Lou, the second son of Zhongyonghou Xiao Qishan and Xiao Hua's second brother.

Excluding the 30 troops led by the third prince, the left and right commanders each command another [-] troops.This level of left and right lieutenant generals makes people even more suspicious of the intention of the [-] army going out, so Lian Jingxiao is bound to return to the barracks to sit in the town in a few days, and there is no prince in the Zhennan Palace, and the concubine is not in the mansion It's hard to say how long the secret can be kept, it's true that there are long nights and many dreams...

Although the Xianghe Palace in the imperial palace is not as large as the Queen's Hekun Palace, it is also extremely luxurious, because the master here is Concubine Xiao Gui.

Sitting on the couch in the inner room is a woman with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament. The eight-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head shows her noble status. Although she is over thirty years old, it seems that the years have not passed. Any marks left on her face, this person is Xiao Lingzhen, the biological mother of the third prince Tuobaxiu.

Concubine Xiao Gui was talking about the interesting things in the garden a few days ago, but after talking for a long time, the man opposite Xiaoji didn't respond, apparently lost her mind.

Concubine Xiao Gui pondered for a while, with a faint smile on her face, she went around behind the man, supported the man's temple and gently rubbed it: "Your Majesty, what's bothering you?"

Emperor Zhengde came back to his senses and just wanted to sit up, but the pressure on his head was moderate, making him relax and close his eyes: "What day is it today?"

Concubine Xiao Gui replied: "It's the eighth day, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhengde said 'hmm': "There are still two days."

Concubine Xiao knew that Emperor Zhengde was referring to the day when the army set off: "Is the emperor worried about the war on the border?"

Emperor Zhengde sighed: "I am worried about Xiu'er's safety." As he spoke, he patted Concubine Xiao Gui's hand on his shoulder: "Among the princes, I always favor him, although this time Xiu'er I am very pleased that my son took the initiative to ask for orders to go out, but..."

Concubine Xiao smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Xiu'er would like to thank the Emperor for giving him a chance to make meritorious deeds, so that he can help the Emperor to share some of the burden."

Emperor Zhengde still had his eyes closed, and after a while, he said quietly: "Lingzhen doesn't seem to be worried about this battle?"

Concubine Xiao Gui didn't stop moving her hands, but her heart shook for a moment. While quickly thinking about what Emperor Zhengde meant by these words, she jokingly replied: "The concubine is looking forward to it so much. The prince, naturally has the protection of the emperor, moreover, being able to share the burden for the emperor is what he should do."

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "It's better to be taught by Lingzhen." After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "It's just that it's not peaceful there, not only the Yue family, but also a serious problem."

Concubine Xiao Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and after listening to Emperor Zhengde's words, she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you mean... King Zhennan?"

Emperor Zhengde said: "He is now the emperor of the land there. He has been in close contact with King Zhenxi in private. They thought I didn't know about it."

Concubine Xiao Gui said softly: "Conferring a king with a different surname is already a great grace, and it is really a waste of the emperor's painstaking efforts."

Emperor Zhengde let out a 'hum', and slapped the little table hard, which showed that he was extremely disgusted with this matter.

Concubine Xiao slowly curled her mouth, stood up and got off the couch, and handed the tea to Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty calm down." Then she said casually: "I heard that General Jiang was originally guarding the northwest, so let him rush back to be the commander of the right. Will it..."

Emperor Zhengde glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Lingzhen thinks my decision is inappropriate?"

Concubine Xiao Gui was stunned for a moment, and when she regained her senses, she hastily knelt down and said, "I dare not, my concubine just made a slip of the tongue..."

At this time, the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of War is asking to see you, and he is waiting outside the imperial study."

Emperor Zhengde said 'hmm', and replied to the eunuch at the door: "Let him wait." Then he smiled and gently helped Concubine Xiao, patted her hand and said, "Of course I know, I See you again tonight."

Concubine Xiao suppressed the panic in her heart, smiled, and bowed to the emperor: "Yes."

When Emperor Zhengde went out, Concubine Xiao Gui’s smile faded away. Just now Emperor Zhengde’s cold eyes flashed away, making her feel that she was dazzled at all, and then she whispered to the little eunuch beside her: “Let Xiaolou enter immediately. See me in the palace."

The author has something to say: The second child of the Xiao family...why Mao sounds so awkward...

I really want to rest tomorrow...
