Ling Ziyue sneered: "From Lucheng to here, we have been in Xia Kingdom for more than a few months. We have traveled through countless cities and villages in Xia Kingdom. There were no problems before. Why are we suddenly not acclimatized this time?"
"It's just the Xia Guo Emperor or my Xia Guo Empress giving us a blow. Tell us, this is their territory, we have to be obedient, otherwise, they have plenty of ways to rule us."
With a "bang", another man slammed the table: "Then let's just leave it to them to figure it out?"
"Of course it's not possible." Ling Zi Yue pursed his lips: "But we can play tricks, pretend to be tricked, pretend to be intimidated, be honest for a while, and then..."
Ling Zi snorted and laughed: "It depends on whose rank is higher."
The conversation in the inn entered Yunshang's ears verbatim, and Yunshang was playing sand table with herself, hearing this, she only smiled lightly: "It's okay, it depends on who has a higher rank. "
After all, he pushed himself a few steps towards the city gate in the sand table: "There is a saying in the art of war: the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, the three cannot be used. Even if you win, there will be disasters. Now the time and place are right and the people are harmonious. First of all, they There is no geographical advantage, and the weather does not occupy it. At most, there are individuals and... "
"But there are few of them, and, even if it is the only point, I can destroy it."
Hearing what Yunshang said, Qianzhuo hurriedly said: "I have already inquired about those who came from Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom. The envoys of Youyue Kingdom are Ling Ziyue, King of Mingyue, Gong Yu, the counselor, and the women's family members. There are Mingyue Princess Gong Sijia and Eighth Princess Ling Lanyu."
"Yi Haiguo's envoys are Lanping County King Qian Yifan, Zhongshu Minister Shan Xian, four princesses Qian Yutong, and Si'an Princess Qian Jinyu among the women's family members."
After talking lightly, he took out another booklet: "This is about the dispositions and preferences of these envoys and female relatives we have inquired about. It's just that we really don't care about Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom. It’s just very little, and what they found out was only what they showed after they came to our Xia country, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Yun Chang nodded: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or false, whether it is true or false, it can be used."
Yun Shang took it and flipped through it for a while before closing the booklet casually: "So, among the envoys sent by these two countries, the most noble one is Mingyue King Ling Ziyue, and the calmest one is Yi Yi. Shan Xian, Hai Kingdom's Minister of Zhongshu?"
"Yes, judging from the news obtained from the hidden stake, it is indeed the case."
Yun Shang was thoughtful, and it took a while to close the booklet: "Are the few of them, those who go in and out on weekdays, all acting together?"
"Most of the time they are together, but they are people from two different countries, and you can often see them acting separately."
"That's good." Yun Chang nodded: "I made up my mind before that I would never leave the palace before His Majesty's Longevity Day, but looking at it now, I still should go out of the palace."
"Going out of the palace?" Qian Zhuo blinked: "Is it because of these envoys that the empress is going out of the palace?"
"Um."
"What is your empress going to do?" Qian Zhuo looked curious.
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and laughed in a low voice: "Well, keep it secret for now, and you will know soon."
"Let someone help me find out first, this..." Yun Shang glanced at the name on the booklet again: "Zhongshu Shilang Shan Xian, what places do you like to go on weekdays. Or, where he is going When it’s time, let me know in advance, I’ll go... and wait for the rabbit.”
Qianzhuo was very curious, but Yunshang wanted to show off, so she had no choice but pouted her lips: "Your Majesty is really bad."
The wicked empress raised the corners of her mouth and smiled for a long time, but she still didn't say what she planned to do.
On the second day, news came from outside the palace, saying that Shan Xian had reserved a private room in the Liyuan, and would go to the Liyuan to listen to a play around Shen time in the afternoon.
Yun Shang started to arrange after receiving the news.
"Recently, the secret guards are tight, and the outside is getting more and more lively because of the upcoming Longevity Festival. More and more lively, it means that the danger is doubled, and I can't just go out from the palace gate in a fair manner like this. , that was like a living target."
Qian Zhuo nodded, blinked and blinked: "What is the empress going to do?"
Yun Shang thought for a while: "Send someone to bring Chengye over. Pei Lan disguised herself into my appearance in the palace and played with Chengye. I went out of the palace alone with the hidden guards."
Qianzhuo still wanted to see what Yunshang wanted to do, but when Yunshang said this, his eyes widened: "Your Majesty, don't you bring slaves?"
Yun Shang laughed: "You guys are the maids who serve me personally, and there are many people staring at every move I make. It's understandable that Peilan doesn't show up for half a day. It can be said that she waits on me in the house. But the other one you disappeared, people outside don’t know how to guess.”
"At that time, if someone with a heart guesses it..."
Qianzhuo frowned upon hearing what Yunshang said, but she had to admit that what Yunshang was worrying about was possible.
Thinking about it this way, he had no choice but to agree aggrievedly.
Yun Shang left the palace and went straight to the Liyuan.
When Yunshang arrived in Liyuan, it was just Weishi.
There was still nearly an hour before Shenshi, but Yunshang was too late, just like an ordinary opera listener, entered the private room, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks, and listened to an opera.
When the play was about to end, the hidden guard beside Yunshang said, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Yun Shang heard the voice of the dark guard, and knew that something unexpected happened.
Sure enough, the secret guard soon heard: "Isn't that Gong Yu, the counselor of Youyue Kingdom? Why is he here?"
Yun Chang looked over and saw a young man walking in from the gate of the theater.
Before Yun Shang came back to his senses, the young man hurried upstairs...
"Could it be that Shan Xian made an appointment with Gong Yu when he came to listen to the play today?"
Yunshang tapped her fingers on the table: "Although it's a bit beyond my expectation, it's not a bad thing for me."
Things change, and plans naturally change accordingly.
Yun Chang was thinking about it, and heard the dark guard say: "Niang Niang, Shan Xian is here."
Yun Shang looked towards the entrance of the theater, and saw a man in his twenties walking in with two servants.
"They're all young."
The dark guard nodded: "This time, the envoys of Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom are not very old, and the oldest King Mingyue is only 28 years old."
Yun Chang nodded and stood up: "Let's go."
Yun Shang left the private room, went downstairs, and met Shan Xian head-on in the lobby.
