Wen Liang grabbed the secret letter in his hand and read it, then smiled lightly, and when the two people in the room looked up, they said with a smile:
"My lord, general, the court of North Vietnam is in chaos."
Yan Lu clapped his palms and smiled, "Hmph, the King of Beiyue has many sons, and all of them are strong and ambitious. They are eyeing that position, but the King of Beiyue is old and no longer ambitious. No wonder there will be chaos."
"How messy is it?" Chu Baning asked in a deep voice.
Wen Liang handed him the secret letter in his hand to have a look, and said, "My lord, you can read it yourself." After Chu Baning took it, Wen Liang opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap and shook it. The golden sunlight of late spring slanted into the room through the window and sprinkled on the man in white with black hair. His handsome face seemed to be coated with a layer of orange light.
However, it was such a man who was so pure and refined that he subverted a prairie kingdom with just a few words.
Last year, Wen Liang and Chu Baning talked about the situation in North Vietnam. Chu Baning asked Wen Liang to make a plan to disrupt North Vietnam. After reading his plan, he handed over the matter to him. In just over a year, North Vietnam was indeed messed up by him, and at this time it was messed up.
"The eldest prince is a fool, but the power of the mother clan should not be underestimated; the second prince is ambitious and scheming, but he was born of a slave, and the North Vietnamese king would never challenge him to be the heir; Killing and suppressing dissidents, if he is in power, the elders and ministers in the king's court will definitely not accept; the fourth prince is a narrow-minded man who has offended many people, if he is in power, I believe those brothers and elders will consider treason and surrender to the enemy; the fifth prince is cowardly , it’s hard to be a big job; the sixth prince is born with a disability, so it’s hard to be a big job; the seventh prince…”
Yan Lu and Chu Baning looked up at the eloquent military adviser together, showing doubts about his sudden pause.
The seventh prince—Duo Luokui, the most valued prince of the King of Beiyue, and the prince who entrusted him to be his successor. This is a suspenseful figure.
"How is Du Luokui?" Chu Baning asked.
Hearing the coldness in his low voice, Wen Liang felt a sudden shock in his heart, and said: "He appeared in the grassland tribes from the Beiyue Royal Court, but he disappeared soon." Wen Liang said helplessly. : "There are many princes in the King of North Vietnam. Except for the princes mentioned above, the rest are too young. The body of the King of North Vietnam cannot wait for them to grow up. Only Durokui is the most promising person to win the seat. Durokui has He is brave and resourceful, and his mother is not weak. He is as cunning as a wild wolf on the prairie. Whenever his enemies try to catch him, they will always find a way to escape. He knows very well that the royal court is in chaos at this time. Convalescing in the palace, living in seclusion, watching his sons scramble for power, but not stopping, must have deep meaning, so Du Luokui decisively shrunk his power..."
Chu Baning secretly frowned.
Wen Liang took out one of the many secret letters sent by the spies and handed it to Chu Baning, and said cautiously: "My lord, take a look at this, don't be angry..." Wen Liang acted like a man who was afraid of his boss. The angry little brother, cautiously, even moved to Yan Lv's side, as if begging for shelter.
Chu Baning glanced at it lightly, then took it and browsed it.
After a while, the whole room was as cold as if it was about to rain hail, and Wen Liang and Yan Lv almost hugged each other and shivered.
"Zixiu, tell the North Vietnamese spies to monitor Du Luokui's every move and kill Yao Keren."
Wen Liang saw that although his face was serious, his eyes were as cold as ice scum, brewing a storm, which made people feel guilty. Wen Liang nodded immediately, afraid that this master would lose control of his temper, and he would be wronged if he angered him.
"Zixiu, continue to pay attention to the movements of Beiyue, and report to the king if there is anything." Chu Baning ordered and left the barracks directly.
It wasn't until someone left that the two people in the room calmed down.
Yan Lu leaned over and asked, "Zixiu, what happened, why is the prince so angry?"
Wen Liang sighed, and said: "Yao Keren has become Du Luokui's woman." Wen Liang saw that he was still confused, so he continued: "Yao Keren and the princess look quite alike."
Yan Luruo realized something, and said: "Could it be... the prince can't even bear this?"
Wen Liang smiled wryly, he knew what Yan Lu meant, and thought that although the prince has a cleanliness habit, no matter how possessive he is towards his wife, he shouldn't be able to control who belongs to a woman who only looks like his wife, right? Besides, that woman just looks like her, and she is not really his wife, so it shouldn't matter who she belongs to... But, how could Wen Liang tell Yan Lvdu that Luo Kui once held Princess Su hostage, and even hated Princess Su to the bone. If that man is still willing to possess a woman who looks similar to the woman he hates the most under such circumstances, then his mind...
Wen Liang sighed in his heart, I'm afraid Du Luokui didn't just hate Princess Su in his heart. And Su Wang also thought of this, so he was so angry.
"Ah Lu, I'm going back first."
Wen Liang didn't know what to say, so he said hello and went out.
When Fang left the barracks, Wen Liang saw in surprise that Chu Baning was still there, and saw him standing not far away, with a tall and straight figure, and the setting sun fell on him, stretching his shadow wildly. A carriage was parked beside it, and a person got off from the carriage. Without saying a word, he rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.
"My lord!"
The voices of a man and a woman sounded.
Chu Baning turned his head and saw Ananda sitting on a sedan chair not far away, and a young man riding a horse. These two calls were Ananda and the young man.
Ananda stared at the woman in Chu Baning's arms, then moved his gaze up, and saw his calm face and those deep black eyes that could not see any emotion.
Ananda could not deny that seeing this scene made her feel sour and angry. Isn't he a clean freak? Why not push that woman away
"Fourth sister."
A gentle voice attracted Ananda's attention. Ananda turned his head and saw a young man on a horse. Seeing Ananda looking over, he showed a gentle and warm smile, his handsome face was gentle and friendly, he got off the horse, walked over and directly hugged Ananda who was in the sedan chair, and then hugged the petite woman in his arms.
"Second brother..."
Ananda put his hands down by his sides, letting the man hug her directly, with a dazed expression on his face. The man hugging her in front of her is her second elder brother Lu Shaohua. He has written a letter in advance to tell her about his coming to Tongcheng, which is why she appears here. The strange thing is that this second brother is gentle and polite. He has not been close to her since he was a child, and he will not hug her like a little sister like this. Why are you doing such a thing now
"Sister, don't be angry, brother will vent your anger on you." Lu Shaohua whispered in her ear.
Ananda instantly understood Lu Shaohua's actions, and felt a little moved and helpless. Even if you want to vent your anger, you don't have to hug people directly like this, right
"Second brother, thank you, let me go first."
Lu Shaohua smiled, put her down, and turned around with her to face the two not far away. At this time, Chu Baning had already pushed away the woman who was holding him, and looked at Lu Shaohua coldly with a pair of eyes, while the woman was standing there crying with her face covered, her sobbing voice suppressed and sad. Her figure was slender and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, she had the feeling of a weak and sickly beauty. A maid supported her, her face full of anxiety.
"My lord, long time no see." Lu Shaohua bowed to Chu Ba Ning and saluted with a personable demeanor, as if he didn't see his cold expression.
"Why did you come here together?" Chu Baning came over and gently pulled Ananda to his side, separating him from Lu Shaohua.
Lu Shaohua didn't seem to notice his actions, and said with a smile: "I happened to meet her on the road. At that time, she was robbed by a group of bandits, so she was rescued."
Ananda also saw the woman's face clearly at this time, and was taken aback at first glance.
Because that woman is Zhao Qihua.
Although Zhao Qihua's complexion was pale at this time, his body was as thin as a skeleton, such a delicate and delicate temperament, how could he look as arrogant and reckless as he used to be in Tongcheng, holding a whip and wearing a fiery red dress, walking through the streets and alleys like flames? No matter how much a person changes, he won't be able to change like this, right
Zhao Qihua noticed Ananda's gaze, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, walked over slowly holding the maid's hand, bowed to her, and called softly: "Princess."
Ananda smiled and nodded at her, and politely said a word of greeting. Ananda noticed that she was having some difficulty walking, as if she was not in bad health. It looks like a patient who has been bedridden for many years, his pale face has no trace of blood at all.
After the two finished talking, Zhao Qihua's gaze fell on Chu Baning again, the expressions in his eyes were very complicated, ranging from sorrow to pain and even helplessness, until finally they turned into a layer of mist.
At this moment, the maid supporting Zhao Qihua said softly, "Miss, let's go see the general."
Zhao Qihua glanced at Chu Baning and Ananda, nodded gently, and said to Lu Shaohua: "Mr. Lu, thank you very much today. Brother Ning, Princess, I'm leaving first." Saying this, let the maid support her Get on the carriage and go to the general's mansion.
After Zhao Qihua left, Wen Liang walked over and greeted each other with Lu Shaohua.
They all knew that Lu Shaohua was coming to Tongcheng. Lu Shaohua represented the Lu family to visit the married daughter of the Lu family. Prime Minister Lu attaches great importance to the matter of Concubine Su's pregnancy, but Concubine Su has lived in Tongcheng for a long time and does not return. Every letter exchange is just a few greetings. Let him turn around and go to Tongcheng to have a look.
