Ren Yao expects to ponder outside the window.
The air after the rain was still very humid, and a swallow flew out of nowhere, swept across the yard at a low altitude, and suddenly fell to the ground, making a few subtle calls.
Li Tianyou swayed out of nowhere, walked to the place where the swallow fell with his hands behind his back and squatted down, then poked the poor bird that kept jumping but couldn't fly with the fingers of his right hand, tilting his head around. Looking for something, and when he saw it under the eaves, he grabbed the swallow into his hand.
"Dongsheng, is there a ladder in this yard! A stupid bird fell out of the bird's nest." Li Tianyou's happy voice sounded in the yard.
Dongsheng pleaded guilty to Ren Yaoqi, and hurriedly ran out to Li Tianyou and whispered back.
Li Tianyou handed the little guy who was constantly fluttering in his hand to Dongsheng, and waved his hand: "Then put it back."
Dongsheng lowered his head to take it carefully and ran back.
Ren Yaoqi saw Li Tianyou standing in the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back, non-stop commanding, and his brows were beaming.
After a while Dongsheng came back with a rough cloth handkerchief in his hand.
The voices of Ren Yaohua and Li Tianyou arguing about something were heard under the eaves outside, which was very lively.
"Who intercepted the secret letter from the imperial court?" Ren Yaoqi asked softly.
Baiyun Temple is located in the middle of Baihe Town and Yunyang City, just near the official road that must pass through the north and the south.
Dong Shengfu stood next to Ren Yaoqi again, lowered his head and said softly: "I haven't seen the fighting process, so it's not easy to make judgments. But that letter is about the imperial court's order to reduce the salaries of the Yanbei Army."
Ren Yaoqi was shocked when he heard this.
Is it related to the Yanbei Palace
Although the Yanbei Army was nominally an army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in fact they were the direct army of the King of Yanbei, and it could also be said to be the "Xiao Family Army".
Ren Yaoqi once heard from Mr. Pei that most of Yanbei's taxes should be turned over to the imperial court, but the imperial court of Yanbei Army only pays a very small part of it every year.
She recalled that there was an army mutiny in Yanbei in the previous life. At that time, some soldiers in the lower ranks of the Yanbei Army, because they were dissatisfied with the reduction of military pay by the imperial court, went to the city in groups to loot the shops of wealthy households, causing riots.
In the end, someone filed an impeachment saying that the number of Yanbei Army was too large and there were too many small monks in the temple.
Shortly after that, a border dispute occurred in Ningxia caused by the small-scale Dangxiang clan in order to snatch the horse farm with rich forage resources. For the next few years, that part of the Yanbei Army had been stationed in Ningxia, and the imperial court's plan to reduce the Yanbei Army was left unresolved.
However, Wu Xiaohe, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia at the time, was the son-in-law of the old King of Yanbei and the brother-in-law of the current King of Yanbei, Xiao Yan.
Therefore, many people think that the Yanbei Army's entry into Ningxia is actually a strategy of the Yanbei King to divert the attention of the court in order to protect the Yanbei army.
It is a pity that three years later, Wu Xiaohe, the general soldier of Ningxia, died.
At that time, Zeng Lin was still unknown, and Yan Bei also believed that he only got this position because of the nepotism between his family's Xichang Houfu and the Queen Mother's family, Yan's family, and only focused on the supervisor who took office with Zeng Lin. On Lu Dexin.
But in the end, Zeng Lu's performance was far beyond everyone's expectations. Wu Xiaohe's army was absorbed by him, and he was caught off guard by the Yanbei Palace.
The rise of Zeng Lin was the beginning of the disaster for the Ren family.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes slightly when he thought of this.
Since she woke up, she has been thinking about how to change the ending of her previous life.
But the temple was too far away from her.
If the original track was followed, Zeng Lu would still be sent to Yanbei as a chess piece for the court to fight against the Yanbei Palace. With Zeng Lu's ability, the Ren family would still want to curry favor with him.
When she thinks of this, she always has nightmares.
In this life, even if she didn't want to take revenge for the previous life, what would she do if the enemy still came to her door? She is a boudoir girl, and all she can do is stop the car with her arm.
How it will end is hard to say.
She couldn't remember the exact time when the last imperial court planned to reduce Yan Beijun's army, but it was almost two years. The secret letter that Dongsheng said is likely to be a precursor to this matter.
How can we stop Zeng Lin from succeeding to the Ningxia commander-in-chief, or how can we make Zeng Yun become the Ningxia commander in name only
Ren Yaoqi's heart was pounding.
"Miss Biao?" Dongsheng called out softly when he saw that Ren Yaoqi's face was bad.
Ren Yaoqi took a deep breath and calmed her heartbeat. She reminded herself not to worry and take it slow. She didn't believe that she lived a new life just to repeat the mistakes of the previous life, and there would always be a way.
"Miss Biao, it is very likely that the person who intercepted the secret report from the imperial court was sent by the palace of Yanbei. It was mentioned in the secret report that the person who received the letter would stir up trouble among the soldiers at the bottom of the Yanbei Army when the court ordered the reduction of military pay. I heard that Yanbei The second son of the palace is recuperating in a nearby village, do you think he will send someone..." Dongsheng whispered.
Hearing this, Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows and frowned, "You mean Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei Palace? Is he near the White Dragon Temple?"
Dongsheng nodded.
However, Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered the man he met in front of the Dragon King Hall in Bailong Temple. She and Xiangqin mistook him for the nun the women were looking for.
But after that, Ren Yaoqi was a little suspicious of his identity. Judging from his demeanor, he didn't seem like a person who would be the face of a man. Especially when he gave her the string of gold, stone and wood beads, she became more and more hesitant.
She has also seen good things, and that string of beads is definitely a rare treasure, but he gave it to her at will, just to repay her for helping her a little favor.
Later, Li Tianyou appeared, and Li Tianyou admitted that he was the lover of the nun who was being chased, so who was that man
Why would he want to avoid those women
He was also wearing white clothes. Was he mistaken for Li Tianyou by those who were chasing Dongsheng? And what was he doing near Bailong Temple at that time? And ripped your sleeves
Thinking of the appearance of the second son of the legendary Yanbei palace, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help suspecting that he was Xiao Jingxi. But was he the one who sent someone to intercept the imperial messenger
Thinking this way, for some reason, Ren Yaoqi still shook his head based on his own intuition: "I heard that the second son of the Yanbei Palace is very smart and amazing. Even if he wants to stop the secret report from the court, he will not Such extreme means will be used. For such a major matter, the imperial court should send more than one messenger to Yanbei to deliver the letter. What if Xiao Jingxi stopped this messenger? The letter will eventually be delivered to the right place. In the hands of the person who delivered it, but the Yanbei Palace is a shocker."
What Ren Yaoqi can think of, she doesn't believe that Xiao Jingxi, who has been praised by Mr. Pei, can't think of it.
Dongsheng thought for a while, but had no idea: "Who else would that be?"
"I said it wasn't the second son of Xiao, and I didn't say that he wasn't from the Yanbei Palace." Ren Yaoqi wasn't very sure either, all this was just her guess.
She has too little information, and she has no way to judge. Besides, if the person she met was Xiao Jingxi, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.
Here, Ren Yaoqi and Dong Sheng are guessing the identity of the person who killed the imperial messenger and finally cleaned up the body.
Someone over there is also tracking down the whereabouts of this secret letter.
The boy who had put on a blue wide-sleeved robe was also standing by the window, listening to the report of the man in black kneeling on one knee, his eyes as black as ink quietly watched the continuous raindrops outside the window gradually becoming smaller and thinner. , there seems to be a fog that makes people unable to see clearly shrouded in it.
There were still raindrops dripping intermittently from the gaps between the roof tiles, ticking into a pair of old granite aquariums with lotus patterns on three sides under the eaves, and the water in the tanks overflowed.
The young man's low, hoarse voice sounded soothingly in the room, but it was not loud enough to cover up the sound of water droplets outside: "Send the body to Xiao Jingyue and ask him how to deal with it, I just came to Bailong Temple to recuperate. "
The kneeling subordinate was stunned, raised his head and glanced at the master carefully, and asked tentatively, "What if the third son denies that he was sent by him?"
Hearing this, the young man tilted his head, glanced at his subordinate with a half-smile, and said in surprise, "Can he deny it?"
The subordinate immediately bowed his head: "This subordinate understands. It's just that the letter that the third son is about to cut is still in the hands of others. Should the subordinate send someone to..."
The teenager retracted his gaze from the window, seemed to think for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure that person is from the Li family?"
"The subordinate confirms that that person is the entourage beside Li Tianyou, the former prince of Xian Wang, and there was a woman with him at that time, the young lady of the Ren family in Baihe Town."
"Ren's family?" The boy's tone was still soothing and calm, but there was a look of thought between his brows, but for a moment he smiled and nodded, "Got it, you go."
The black-clothed subordinate was stunned, Master doesn't want to care
But with the behavior and methods of the third son, I am afraid that many people will be implicated and their lives will not be saved, even the prince of the Li family will be able to…
