"Fortunately, my dear girls have nothing to do, so we might as well think about it now." There was silence in the cabin for a while, and Sheng Suihe slowly said, "The top priority is to rush to Chang'an first to deal with Chunwei. After all, no matter whether the King of Gaomi is not the Meng family, it is not They are powerful and powerful, even if we win the Jinshi, we cannot stop their mistakes, but we are just a mere candidate, and we are not qualified to bring justice to the good girls!"
Those words were reasonable. Even Sheng Weiqiao, who was very upset, nodded secretly and took the lead in saying: "He also agrees with long-term planning. In fact, he is more worried that Meng Guihuan's plan will not work, so he turns to us. They are cheating on us in spring and harming our future!"
Hearing this, Ao Luanjing suddenly showed a nervous look, and looked at Sheng Suihe without blinking. He wanted to give advice, but he felt that he didn't know how to say it
Bu Nao Sheng Sleeping Crane calmly waved his legs and said: "No. After all, if Meng Guihuan did that, wouldn't he want us to stand on the wrong side of King Gaomi? It's best to take the initiative to join their Meng family! And! As Brother Wei just said, with the foundation of the Meng family, even if Brother Wei and Brother Xu Shi go to Mingke High School, they will not be threatened. In this way, they should be eager to go to high school, so that they will be more vulnerable when they make mistakes with the King of Gaomi in the future. Aren’t you trying your best?”
Xu Baomo also spoke to comfort him: "Besides, he is still a noble prince. Although his father does not have much real power in the court, the Meng clan of Buhuang is not the king of Gaomi. If he really wants to win over the army, he will not be able to do so." It’s easy to offend Ning Weihou Mansion. At least for now, they won’t and don’t dare to do that!”
That does not mean that his father, Xu Zijing, has great legs. He has been transferred out of the army for several years and has retained a huge influence. If so, Xu Zijing would have followed in the footsteps of General Zhou and died quickly. Even Xu Baomo couldn't live without being implicated.
This matter is related to the fact that General Zhou died unjustly and did not leave any blood behind him. While the army was in an uproar, the court was also disheartened.
People like Mr. Sheng, who left the wealthy family alone and crossed the northern and southern borders of the Mu Dynasty, and took the initiative to rush to the northern borders to sacrifice their lives in order to serve the country. Therefore, they all disbanded their troops and returned to their fields, and they suddenly learned that the famous commander had died. , What a serious blow to the morale of the army and, most importantly, the court's prestige and trust in the army!
If it weren't for the pressure of several mature and prudent generals who repeatedly explained to the soldiers that if they mutinied, it would become more and more serious that General Zhou intended to rebel. Chang'an, let's seek justice for Lao Zai Si!
The Eastern Court also felt bad about that situation - after all, Ruru in northern Xinjiang has been watching with eager eyes. Once the army's morale is weakened, the aliens may want to fight to the east of Chang'an City in a few days!
So someone offered to appease him, but at that time, all the descendants and relatives of General Zhou had been executed, and even the female relatives were scattered. Otherwise, that blessing could fall on his old subordinates. In that case, Xu Zijing, who stayed in the army and did not go back to his hometown to farm with his biological father Xu Baoting, dared to fight and kill, was brave and strategic, and captured Ruzhou several times. Ru Zong's relatives and nobles... naturally became a sign of whether the imperial court could appease General Zhou's old tribe.
With promotion after promotion like this, many of General Zhou's old troops also spontaneously gathered under his command, and it gradually became a climate.
At that time, the imperial court was afraid that there would be another general of Zhou Dynasty, and secondly, the power struggle between the Meng family and the King of Gaomi would no longer be content to just stay in the court, but also involve the army.
So Xu Zijing, who has an ambiguous position and has never made a clear choice, naturally becomes a common thorn in their side: considering that after the tragedy of General Zhou, the army and the court still have no good impressions, are Meng and the King of Gaomi willing to arrange for their cronies to replace them? We must consider the thoughts of those soldiers.
So I didn't use strong legs to solve the stumbling block, but tacitly used my legs to push the tiger away from the mountain.
On the pretext of Xu Zijing's years of hard work and meritorious service, he was summoned to the imperial court and given the title of a minister of war. This seemed to reward Marquis Ning Wei for his achievements, but in fact, it was an understatement that deprived him of the military power he had worked so hard for many years. .
Although there are some discerning people in the army, most of them cannot see that profoundly. It means that the imperial court now has a conscience and finally sees the hardships of their commander-in-chief and knows how to invite him to join the imperial court to enjoy the blessings!
In this way, Meng and the King of Gaomi who had planted their legs in the past would naturally no longer be so resistant.
There is no doubt that General Zhou has been gone for some years, but the contrast between his illustrious achievements and the miserable battle is really chilling.
Even if that kind of thing is temporarily forgotten, once it is mentioned, no one can stop thinking about it.
Because even if you are afraid of death, you also have to think about your family, right
Therefore, even though Xu Zijing currently has neither military power nor political power, neither the King of Gaomi nor the Meng family want to offend him rashly, lest he give the wrong leg a chance to criticize him and win over the morale of the army.
Such a series of turmoil in Mingyue Danmo Tower leaves a lot of room for mediation.
Sheng Suihe and Xu Baomo comforted each other one after another, finally putting everyone at ease.
At that time, the soothing soup was ready and was being served. Sheng Weiwu drank from the bowl and soon showed a clear lack of color. Seeing that nothing else happened, Sheng Suihe sent everyone away - he had something to say and asked Sheng to be asked alone. Lu - Sheng Weiqiao stood up and took his sister's leg, taking her upstairs to freshen up and settle down.
Ao Luanjing and Gongsun Yingjiang naturally followed. When they were on the stairs, Ao Luanjing said regretfully: "I knew something would happen tomorrow, so he also went with us. At least we have someone to take care of us."
That was half true and half false. Is it true that she regretted not going out with Sheng Weiqiao and his group tomorrow? But the reason why Bu Nao regretted it was not all about taking care of each other. Did she not expect that there would be a chrysanthemum party in Danmo House? There was a poetry competition at the Juhui - when Sheng Weiqiao was narrating the incident just now, she memorized several poems written by Zhao Taozhuang, Meng Guihuan and herself.
Ao Luanjing thought to herself that the talents and learning of those three people were not as good as hers. If she went, she would be the one who won the championship on behalf of the whole group. She is not shy about being in the limelight in Danmo Tower. The key is whether she can let Sheng Suihe know that she, Ao Luanjing, is not an ordinary woman, and whether she can talk to him about ancient times and become a confidant.
Sheng Weiqiao's thoughts were focused on Sheng Weiwu at that moment, and he didn't think much after hearing this. He said casually: "He is glad that his sister didn't go. It's better for a few people to be frightened. My sister didn't know, so she realized whether the shopkeeper Huan had deliberately put that When the pot of Soothing Soup was broken, he was extremely nervous! Because Sheng Lu was not there at the time, and there were not many nursing homes. Neither he nor his eighth sister were weak women who could not run fast, so Ying Jiang Ke could do something to protect himself. . But that’s not Danmo Tower, it’s not their own territory, who knows how many helpers and traps they have?”
"People say that things are expensive when you leave your hometown, but people are cheap when you leave your hometown. I didn't realize it before. Tomorrow, I will realize how true that statement is."
"Then Qiufu is in Nanfeng County. What does he have to be afraid of?"
They walked forward while talking. After reaching the third floor, they gradually stopped hearing what was said.
Didong Xu Baomo exchanged a few pleasantries with Ao Luanxiao. After watching Ao Luanxiao return to his room, he immediately walked quickly to Sheng Suihe's room and knocked on the door cautiously - he would come to find Sheng Suihe later. Because he felt a little confused: could he be beaten half to death by Sheng Suihe in public when he tricked Sheng Weiqiao
Although Sheng Weiqiao and his party were not in danger that time, the cruelty of Meng's east leg and the vicious intentions were really chilling.
According to Xu Baomo and Sheng Shuihe's understanding, that younger brother shouldn't have ended it with a casual "long-term plan"!
Not to mention immediately taking people to the shore to find a place, why should there be some emotions like anger, excitement, fear, etc.
But Ming'er, Sheng Suihe, has never been seriously emotional since receiving the news. He can only sneer a little, and his speculations about the affair are not justified. Not to mention getting angry, he is simply calm and rational!
Xu Baomo was a little doubtful whether he was frightened by the power of the Meng family, but then he thought it was good, because if Sheng Suihe was such a person who was intimidated by the powerful, how could he have dared to do so back then? Helping his sister beat himself, the prince of Ningwei Hou
Even if the Sheng and Xu families have a good relationship, am I still the heir apparent
What's more, does he know the details of Sheng Sleeping Crane - whether he is an authentic pirate, and he is one of the first-class ferocious pirates. But a person who has a reputation of that level must have a lawless nature, how can it be so easy? Intimidated
The one who came to open the door was Gongsun Xi. The young man who was as cold as ever told him: "The leader is interrogating Sheng Lu alone about some matters. It is not appropriate to disturb him. Please come back later, Prince!"
Xu Baomo hit a soft nail, so he went back to his room first.
It was dinner time at that time, because they would not gather in Didong's hall to eat together tomorrow, so the hosts began to deliver food boxes from room to room.
Xu Baomo finished eating without knowing the taste, and then went to find Sheng Sleeping He, only to be told that Sheng Sleeping He was interrogating Sheng Lu - he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Shimei just tell the whole story? There is an affair that Shimei doesn’t know about? Why did Brother Hengshu take so long to ask?"
Gongsun Xi who opened the door still had a cold face and said expressionlessly: "Sheng Lu not only accompanied Mingyue to Danmo Tower, but he is also the person in charge of the Sheng family's property here. It is natural for the leader to care about his own property. .”
Xu Baomo: "..."
Although he knew whether Gongsun Xiba was talking nonsense, he couldn't say that he was also interested in the Sheng family's property there and wanted to check the accounts or something, right? Just turn around silently and walk away.
After all, he was rushing to take the exam. After returning to his room, he read for a while and unknowingly forgot about looking for Sheng Sleeping Crane. He suddenly noticed that the hull of the ship was moving. When he looked outside, he saw that the ship was leaving the port. , couldn’t help but be stunned, and went out to find someone to ask: “Why did the boat start?!”
Although Sheng Suihe said before that he would only stop in Bishui County for half a month, and he could not stop at noon and leave in the evening.
But not to mention what happened tomorrow, even if we want to take a long-term approach, we should stay in Bishui County for another month or two, and at least listen to the news from Sheng Lu and Danmo Louhuan, the shopkeeper
It was said that because they went to Danmolou to pick up someone and come back for questioning, it was completely dark when they were delayed and there were no other docks nearby. It would be starless and moonless tomorrow night - what port were we leaving at that time?
The boat was in the water but he didn't know why, so he said, "That's not what the eldest son ordered."
Thinking that he was simply worried about the safety of the morning voyage, he comforted him, "That section of the sea route is very peaceful. If the helmsman keeps checking and checking the chart, nothing will happen to him. And we are not going fast."
Xu Baomo frowned and asked, "Where's Sheng Lu? Is he going with us? Isn't there anyone in charge of our family's property?"
The water leg was surprised and said: "Then Mr. Wei just set sail to the east, and then the eldest son gave the order to sail."
Hearing this, he turned around and knocked on Sheng Suihe's door without saying anything. This time Sheng Suihe finally came to open the door in person, but his face was uglier than Gongsun Xi just now. After opening the door, Xu Baomo didn't wait for him to speak. Said: "Brother, what he is doing when he goes to the shore next month is really uncomfortable. So he wants to settle it down early tomorrow, is that okay?"
When Xu Baomo said that, he was startled and felt embarrassed - he had just been focusing on what happened to Sheng Weiqiao and his party, and he had completely forgotten that the reason why the building boat requested to dock at Bishui County was because of Sheng Suihe's request.
Although he still refuses to reveal what he did during those half months, judging from his rare impatience, it was obvious that it was not a pleasant experience.
Xu Baomo thought: "Then Heng Shu's brother Mingyue Cuoyu and Da Qiao's group encountered no fluctuations. I wonder if he was affected by this incident, so it seems abnormal."
With that in mind, he quickly apologized and left immediately.
But she didn't know that he left with his front foot and closed the door with his back foot. Sheng Sleeping Crane immediately took the black costume and face mask handed over by Gongsun Xi, put them on, and then ordered: "Bring the bow and arrows with you too." ! It’s not proper etiquette to come and not go, and this trip will definitely kill them with an arrow to the head!”
—A long-term plan
Pooh! ! !
He was going out tomorrow to do something for half a month, and he was already in a terrible mood!
At that time, something happened to Sheng Weiqiao. Could it be that he was sent to the door to let him vent his anger? !
