Ye Mei and Ye Ke jumped into Jin Xingming's carriage. Speaking of which, Jin Xingming was quite capable, but even the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion bribed it. Even so, the movements of Ye Mei and Ye Ke were discovered by the people in the palace who were guarding outside. The carriage ran in front, and the officers and soldiers were chasing after them.
Ye Ke peeked out the window of the carriage and saw that in the dark night, the hurried hooves behind him were particularly clear, which made his heart tighten. Looking at Ye Mei with some trepidation, he said, "Sister, what should we do, if we are caught up by them, we will be finished." Then he urged the driver of the horse, "Can you hurry up!"
The coachman whipped fiercely again, the horse's speed was a little happier, and Ye Ke's heart calmed down a little. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "Sister, when did you get ready? If you hadn't already prepared and prepared the carriage, I'm afraid we won't be able to go far before being caught up today."
"Of course I have to plan these things early." Ye Mei would not tell Ye Ke that Jin Xingming got the carriage, nor would he tell Ye Ke that they were going to escape with Jin Xingming today. In his plan, there was no such person as Ye Ke.
Seeing that the carriage was about to reach a street around the corner, Ye Mei looked outside and said, "That's no good, the two of us are on the same carriage, they must be better chasing, and if we go all out, maybe they will catch up. It's better to act separately and meet up at Babao Street later."
"Do you want to separate?" Ye Ke was most nervous when he heard that he was going to separate from Ye Mei, and immediately panicked. He said, "Let's go together, and there should be someone on the way to take care of you."
"Walking together is easy to be overtaken by the officers and soldiers behind. Don't worry, you are sitting in the carriage, I will go down first, the driver will take you from a hidden place to Bajiao Street, and then we will meet there, and everything that goes out of the city will be arranged later. All right, it'll be alright."
Hearing that he didn't need to get off the carriage, Ye Ke was relieved, and he didn't stop Ye Mei anymore. Ye Mei asked the coachman to stop by the side of the street, grabbed his hat and hid his face, and then disappeared into the night.
The coachman continued to pull Ye Ke forward.
Ye Ke was no longer to be seen on the street. Ye Mei looked at the vanishing carriage, slowly raised her lips under the veil, groped along the other side to a small house, knocked on the door, and after a while, someone came After opening the door, Ye Mei quickly flashed in.
In the dark, the man asked, "Is everything done?"
Ye Mei nodded.
At the other end, Ye Ke was sitting in the carriage. After Ye Mei got off the carriage, the coachman's speed became faster and faster. Gradually, the voices of the officers and soldiers chasing after him gradually became weaker, and Ye Ke felt a little comfort in his heart. When he couldn't hear the voices of the chasing troops at all, he felt a little uncomfortable from the bumps, and said, "It's okay to slow down."
The coachman turned a deaf ear and still drove the carriage very fast. Ye Ke was a little dissatisfied. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, but he was surprised.
Where is this still in the city, it is clearly on the mountain!
It is precisely because the mountain road is rugged that it is more difficult to bump it up. Ye Ke was startled. Then he remembered that it was Babao Street, and he decided that it was not so far away. How did the coachman drive the carriage here? He said, "Don't go forward! Go back to Babao Street!"
The coachman ignored him and continued to move forward. Ye Ke was furious, but he was afraid of calling out loudly to greet the officers and soldiers. When he was about to speak, the coach gradually stopped. Ye Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, This is to stop the carriage.
The driver was really disobedient to orders, Ye Ke planned to stay outside Babao Street and teach him a lesson. Just at this moment, the carriage stopped, only to hear a rustling sound in front, and the coachman stepped out of the carriage.
Ye Ke lifted the curtain, looked out at him from the carriage, and scolded, "What are you doing here? Why don't you take me to Babao Street?"
The coachman glanced at him, and Ye Ke could see it clearly. This coachman was born stronger than ordinary people. Even the ordinary coachman needs to practice, and he is not as tall as this person. He felt a vague sense of unease in his heart, and he couldn't help but dare not shout. Although he is also a young man, he is not as tall and strong as this person, and he is afraid that he will suffer a loss if he starts.
The coachman went around behind the horse, took out something from his arms, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly slammed it into the horse's hip!
The horses were startled suddenly, raised their hoofs at once, and dashed forward abruptly!
Ye Ke never thought that the coachman would suddenly do this action, the horse suddenly ran forward, and he was slammed into the back of the carriage, almost in a mess. Feeling terrified in his heart, Ye Ke suddenly realized something and opened the curtain of the carriage in front of him and looked forward.
The last thing Ye Ke saw was the bottomless abyss and the densely overlapping branches.
The abyss seemed to be bottomless, even if the carriage smashed down in pieces, the sound of landing could not be heard faintly.
The darkness covered it up for a while, only the wreckage of the carriage on the edge of the cliff.
After a while, there was the rustling sound of shoes stepping on the dead leaves, and after a while, there were two pieces of clothes on the side of the carriage.
No one heard Ye Ke's last mournful "sister".
…
Shen Miao was writing hard in the study.
She wrote densely and quickly, and her hands almost acted instinctively and subconsciously. When she locked herself in the study, her wrists never stopped.
Mo Qing stood quietly behind her. Although he didn't know what she was doing, he didn't say a word, watching her write quickly. It seemed that there were not only handwriting, but also some maps. After Shen Miao finished writing one, she let Mo Qing dry the paper quickly with the residual temperature of the lantern, and the handwriting did not need to be so moist. She frowned from time to time, thought from time to time, but seemed to be very dignified.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, and Mo Qing put the person in, but Cong Yang was out of breath.
Cong Yang said: "My subordinate and Tie Yi followed Ye Mei and my brother together, and they parted ways at the corner of the city. Tie Yi went with Ye Mei, and my subordinate followed Ye Ke. Ye Ke's coachman drove the carriage to the deep mountain and took Ye Ke. Ke led to the cliff, and designed the horse to startle, and the car fell off the cliff, leaving Ye Ke with no way out."
"Cliff?" Mo Qing was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "Who is that driver? What grudges do you have with Ye Ke?"
Cong Yang wiped his nose: "This subordinate is in a hurry to come back to report the letter, and he didn't care what happened to the driver. Since Ye Ke is dead, the subordinate will come back."
“No need to check, the driver is Ye Mei’s person.” Shen Miao said.
"Ye Mei?" Cong Yang was stunned: "Ye Mei asked the driver to kill Ye Ke? But Ye Ke is her younger brother. Besides, since she wanted to kill him, why did she take him with her when she ran away?"
"You naturally need a target when escaping. Ye Ke is Ye Mei's younger brother, so it's the most suitable target. I think the driver should not just kill Ye Ke, he should also put Ye Mei on the cliff. And inside Ye Ke's clothes, people think that they both fell off the cliff and died."
When Mo Qing and Cong Yang heard the words, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Ye Mei should have found a way out from the beginning, but she was afraid that she would be chased like a lost dog, and one day she would be caught up. It would be better to let the world think that she is dead, and ask the officers and soldiers to go after a dead person no matter how idle they are. Ye Ke is her younger brother. According to ordinary people's hearts, they will definitely think that she will be with her younger brother when she flees. If they saw the clothes fragments of her younger brother and Ye Mei on the cliff, those officers and soldiers followed her younger brother in person, so they would definitely think that Ye Mei was also there. On the carriage, it is natural to feel that the two brothers and sisters strayed into the cliff and fell to their deaths.
Ye Mei made Ye Ke her scapegoat, and also solved her troubles later.
"That's her own younger brother." Cong Yang sighed: "If it's a man, that's all. She, a woman, can be so ruthless..."
“I am afraid that in her heart Ye Ke has long been regarded as an abandoned child,” Shen Miao said indifferently, “So it is her ability to use Ye Ke to the end while Ye Ke is alive.” This is what Mrs. Mei said. Ability, in her life, is only the icing on the cake. For example, in the past life, the existence of Ye Ke's brother could give her more and wider power in the harem, and she had a deep relationship with Ye Ke's sister and brother. Up to now, Ye Ke couldn't bring her any benefit, and even dragged Ye Mei's hind legs, so Ye Mei didn't hesitate to kill him.
The sound of "Pulling Ling" came from the window, and a snow-white pigeon flew in and landed on Congyang's shoulder. Cong Yang took out the note from the pigeon's leg and unfolded it quickly. After reading it, he said anxiously: "Tie Yi said that Ye Mei and Jin Xingming have already arrived at the pier, and they seem to be going by water." He glanced at the strong wind outside, As if it was about to rain, he said, "If it rains tonight, it will be difficult for them to catch up after they go out to sea. Now that the subordinates and Congyang are going over, will they be brought back to the lady?"
“No.” After saying these words, Shen Miao just finished writing the last piece of paper. She baked the paper on the lantern and received it in an envelope. Then he said to Congyang and Mo Qing: "Congyang, you are from the Mo Yu Army, find a few quick-witted people from the Mo Yu Army, take this letter with you, and follow Ye Mei all the way to Ming Qi. go."
"Ming Qi?" Cong Yang frowned, "Why did they go to Ming Qi?"
"Mo Qing found out that Jin Xingming has a friend who is doing a good business in Ming Qi. He has been in frequent contact with each other recently. Obviously, he has the idea of going to Ming Qi. Besides, only by going to Ming Qi can Ye Mei be able to escape completely without being discovered by officers and soldiers. She said: "You also follow along. Pay attention to Ye Mei's personal belongings, such as boxes or hidden things. Be careful not to be discovered. Replace it with what's in this letter." She handed the letter to Mo Qing.
Mo Qing took the letter, although he was a little puzzled, he still agreed.
“Hurry up and don’t be discovered.” Shen Miao urged.
"But, just let them go to Ming Qi?" Cong Yang said, "Didn't Madam always regard them as enemies?"
“It is true to be an enemy, but this is not to let them go,” Shen Miao said coldly, “On the contrary, it is to send them to Huangquan!”
"Come on, if you can, it's best to change things before they get on the boat. It's a little troublesome to change things after getting on the boat. No matter when you change it, you must leave two people to continue to follow them all the way, and keep a letter at all times. If you have other orders, I will tell them again."
When Mo Qing and Cong Yang saw that Shen Miao said solemnly, they did not dare to take it lightly and went out quickly with the letter. Shen Miao supported the table with one hand and pursed her lips tightly, but a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.
She really hoped that Mrs. Mei would die. Before that, she only wanted to take Mrs. Mei's life. The sooner the better, she would save more dreams. But now she doesn't think so anymore.
Heroes compete in the world, and everyone wants a share of the throne of Jiangshan. Great Liang thought, Qin Guo thought, and Ming Qi thought too.
Fu Xiu Yi would definitely think of a way to join forces with Qin Guo, if Xie Jing Xing went to war at that time, it would definitely be a tough bone to crack.
The enemy is always in front of us, and they always have to be wiped out, but before that, it's good to make the best use of it, and dog bites dog, isn't it
No one understands Ye Mei's calculations and selfishness better than Shen Miao, how could a person who even his own younger brother can abandon at will, would make a loss in business. Ye Mei wants to get enough compensation for her in the Ye family, gold and silver jewelry is far from enough, what she wants is eternal power.
Ye Maocai has been in Great Liang for so many years. Apart from Ye Mansion's reputation and family wealth, the most important thing is nothing more than the secrets of some pickled rice in the Great Liang court. Maybe there are royals, maybe there are courtiers. Where there are secrets, there are weaknesses. These secrets are probably something that Ye Maocai used to control other ministers, or evidence that he carefully collected. But one thing is certain, these things are very important to the Great Liang court. To put it more importantly, they can even cause the downfall of a dynasty.
And this was exactly what Ye Mei needed.
Ye Mei could use this as a stepping stone for her to open the door to high officials and nobles in Ming Qi, but Shen Miao designed for her to be a little richer and a stepping stone to open the royal family.
If Fu Xiu Yi got these, he would definitely be very happy, and Ye Mei, such a charming and charming beauty, would definitely seize this opportunity to eat away Fu Xiu Yi's heart step by step like a previous life.
But... what if these things are fake
Military defenses, secret affairs between courtiers, disputes between royal families, weaknesses that can be broken. All of these things seem to be the key to Ming Qi's victory in Great Liang, but what if these things are all fake
Ming Qi will fall into wrong judgments, deploy troops in wrong places, and wrongly use alienation and alliance. In the end, success or failure will be achieved and great cause will be destroyed.
This is the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the ant's nest.
Of course, Ye Mei didn't know that she was taking the wrong thing.
Of course, Fu Xiu Yi could also doubt the authenticity of what Ye Mei brought out.
But it doesn't matter, Shen Miao believes in Madam Mei's ability very much, she is a very powerful woman, so in the end, Fu Xiu Yi will definitely believe Ye Mei's words.
So in the end, what is the outcome of this battle is also a doomed end.
It was not that Shen Miao did not want to kill Ye Mei, nor was she deliberately sending Ye Mei back to the mountain.
But she wanted to see Fu Xiu Yi's favorite woman in her previous life, walking towards him step by step like in her previous life, throwing herself into his arms, and finally giving Fu Xiu Yi a big gift in person, sending Fu Xiu Yi to a dead end.
I feel more relieved.
The most important thing is that this matter is beneficial to Xie Jing Xing. In this world, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes because of this small step of chess.
It's really good.
…
This day and night, as expected by Congyang, in the second half of the night, it was finally a violent storm. Until the next morning, when the three people from Congyang came back, they were all soaked wet. Ye Mei and Jin Xingming were already drenched. After getting on the boat to Great Liang, as expected by Shen Miao, Ye Mei had a silver box which was hidden so tightly that even Jin Xingming did not know about it, but she herself had not opened it.
Mo Yujun's people replaced the contents in the box with the contents in Shen Miao's envelope, Tie Yi took out a stack of things from his arms and handed it to Shen Miao. Shen Miao rummaged, it was not bad as she expected, it was indeed the handle that Ye Maocai had collected over the years to threaten and balance other courtiers. There are even some royal secrets. She thought for a while, these things had to be handled by Xie Jing Xing after Xie Jing Xing returned.
Mo Yujun's people have followed Ye Mei to Great Liang, and they are paying close attention to Ye Mei's movements, but it's nothing to worry about for the time being.
Only when Shen Miao remembered Ye Hongguang, she asked Mo Qing and the others to rest and went to the next room to see Ye Hongguang.
Gao Yang was still there and Shen Miao said that Ye Hongguang’s life was saved, but he has not woken up yet, what will it look like after waking up, and whether it will be repeated in the future, no one knows. After all, he was seriously injured. If Mo Qing and Cong Yang had not brought him from Ye Mansion in time, they would not have been able to save his life.
Finally, Gao Yang glanced at Ye Hongguang on the bed and asked, "What are you planning to do first? The emperor made it clear that he was going to deal with the Ye family, but you brought the young master of the Ye family to your own house, do you want to keep him in the future? ?"
“What is the emperor’s plan for the Ye family?” Shen Miao asked.
"What else can you plan?" Gao Yang smiled: "Cut the grass without leaving its roots." Then he said, "You shouldn't have sympathy, right?"
"Naturally not, the emperor did the right thing, the court will be more stable if the Ye family and the Lu family are handled cleanly. It's just..." She glanced at Ye Hongguang: "This child has nothing to do with what Ye Maocai did, if you say It's wrong, but it's just because of the surname 'Ye', born in the Prime Minister's house. Let's go and see, I don't know if he can survive, and what he will look like when he wakes up. If it is possible, I hope to be with the Queen. Ask for the next favor."
"You're really strange." Gao Yang was puzzled: "Why are you so kind to the young master of the Ye family? Back then in Ming Qi, I never saw you have such kindness. What is so special about this young master of the Ye family? Do you treat me differently?"
“Because of his face.” Shen Miao smiled.
"Face?" Gao Yang looked at Ye Hongguang's face, and after looking for a long time he didn't see anything special, so he shook his fan and said, "I don't understand."
“It’s fine if you don’t understand.” Shen Miao said, “It’s not a serious matter nowadays.” She lowered her voice, “Xie Jing Xing is going to go to Ming Qi.”
Gao Yang turned his head suddenly and looked at Shen Miao, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t say anything, he just looked at her and didn’t speak.
"I know this day will come, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. He said he was in Ruyang these days, but Ruyang's affairs are almost busy, even if it is to deal with the remaining forces, It is not necessarily him. On the contrary, the situation in Long Ye is sharp and he is not in the field.” Shen Miao sighed, “Besides, dealing with the Ye family was too sudden, the emperor… is it bad?”
"Actually, I should have lied to deceive you, but if I want to lie, I can't deceive you, and I'm afraid it will make you unhappy." Gao Yang said, "If it makes you unhappy, Miss Luo should be angry with me. You are right, The emperor is not good. The prince should have already told you about the edict. Now the emperor is explaining his confidants, and he wants to send some people to follow the prince to Ming Qi." He paused, then said: "Or, no. It should be going to Ming Qi. The spies in Dingjing have already sent back news that Fu Xiu Yi has reached a covenant with the Emperor of Qin to take the initiative to attack the Great Liang, and if the Great Liang is captured, the two of them will be divided between five and five.”
“He has a big appetite, so he is not afraid of choking his throat.” Shen Miao sneered. Fu Xiu Yi probably had an appetite after gaining power. Before that, he was not very respectful and gentle to the people of Great Liang, but now that he has formed an alliance with Qin, he dared to have such an ambition.
"He's not arrogant either." Gao Yang smiled, but if he looked at it seriously, he could see that the smile was also a little dignified, he said, "Before the Lu family fought with the royal family, although the Lu family has been eradicated completely, outsiders are not. It seems that the royal family is effortless, and even has more than enough energy, but in fact it still lost a lot. Moreover, the Lu family used to be regarded as a powerful force in Great Liang. Now at this juncture, Great Liang's force is actually not much different from Qin Ming's teaming up. You need to hit hard."
"But most importantly, Fu Xiu Yi knows the emperor's condition, so he can break our morale at any time. I believe in the prince in this battle, but it will never be easy." Gao Yang said.
"I never thought that this battle would be easy," Shen Miao said in a loss, "It is difficult to fight a battle."
"That's why the prince will lead the troops, but now Ming Qi's side has already made the first move, and there are frequent incidents at the border. Now it's just a test of petty troubles. It won't be long before a formal declaration of war will be made. The prince has little time. So I've been preparing things recently. I don't want to tell you, maybe because I'm afraid you will be distracted."
Shen Miao was silent for a moment and said, "I understand."
"Then, will you follow him to Ming Qi?" Gao Yang asked.
Shen Miao turned her head sideways and laughed, "Can I do it?"
"why not?"
Shen Miao looked ahead and said indifferently, "I don't know when the emperor's illness will break out, and I don't know when this battle will be over. At that time, the emperor really has an accident and will definitely announce the imperial edict to the world."
"The queen can't leave her own country, because she is responsible to the people of the world. I'm not that great, but I don't want him to bear the name of a faint-hearted monarch."
"In terms of reputation, he has been wronged enough. So, let me guard the country in Great Liang for him first."
