The Xuyi army was transferred to the capital. They dragged their families and moved three steps at a time. From the twelfth lunar month of last year to the twelfth lunar month of this year, they only reached Qicheng, which was still three to four hundred miles away from the capital.

As the twelfth lunar month entered, the Xuyi army stopped moving. Pu Gaoming sent someone to Bai Jingning of the Privy Council for instructions.

I am afraid that we will disturb the people and bring peace to the prefectures and counties along the way. I would like to ask for permission if we can continue the march after the Chinese New Year.

Bai Jingning didn't have to say a word. There have been enough things this year. It's the twelfth lunar month again. In this first lunar month, it's best to live in peace and quiet. Besides, it doesn't matter whether the Xuyi army arrives in the capital one day earlier or one day later.

It doesn't matter when we arrive, as long as everything is safe and sound.

A few days before the sacrifice to the stove, heavy snow fell in the middle of the night. The auspicious snow heralded a good harvest, which was a good thing.

Early in the morning, Guo Sheng put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his head, and strode into the side door of Prince Qin's Mansion.

"Good morning, Mr. Guo." The concierge hurriedly greeted him.

Just like the concierge of the Li Mansion, when they were not familiar with Guo Sheng, they all called him Mr. Guo. When they became very familiar with each other, they all called him Mr. Guo. The title "sir" was not appropriate for Mr. Guo.

"It's cold today, why didn't Mr. Guo wear a cloak? I happen to have one here. It's clean and has no upper body. Mr. Guo went to join in." The concierge saw Guo Sheng folding his hands and shrinking his shoulders.

Looking frozen, as he spoke, he turned around and went in to get the cloak.

Guo Sheng grabbed the concierge and said, "You're welcome. I'm not cold. I'm used to it. Please go in and ask the princess if you have time."

Guo Sheng said, took away his hand, straightened his back, and shook his shoulders twice to make himself upright and energetic as usual.

He is really not cold, he is helpless and worried.

His recent errand was a mess. Yesterday, he squatted next to the red clay stove and drank half the night with Xu Huan. When he got up in the morning, he took a cold shower and came to see the princess. No matter how muddy his errand was,

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to come over and report to the princess.

Li Xia got up early and had breakfast. He had already walked around the garden and admired the snow scenery for most of an hour. When he heard that Guo Sheng was coming, he turned up the road to the front yard and enjoyed the scenery all the way.

The study room has a warm pavilion.

Guo Sheng followed up with his hands down, watching Duan Yan guarding the door, and took half a step forward to report: "The Xuyi Army has been watching until now, and it's all trivial matters. Two months ago, I asked Panshi to recruit more people, and Panshi clicked

About thirty people were led by Dong Laosan and Hai Qing, and they stared at Pu Gaoming, but they still couldn't detect anything.

The insider arranged earlier did not have any useful information. Pu Gaoming only discussed everything with Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu stayed in Pu Gaoming's military tent all day long and patrolled the camp without eating, drinking or playing.

,really,"

Guo Sheng raised his head and glanced at Li Xia with a wry smile on his face, "I really have nowhere to say it."

"Tell me about those trivial things." Li Xia listened attentively and ordered.

"Yes, in the past two or three months, we have been short of men and had no other options, so we used the stupidest method, staring to death. Anyone who left the Xuyi army was stared at, and those who entered the capital were transferred to him.

Wealth, people keep looking at it, and if it goes somewhere else...it doesn't go anywhere else.

Starting from June, that is, after Feng Jie entered Beijing, Pu Gaoming sent many more spies to the capital than before. In June, there were twice as many spies as in the first half of the year. Since July, there have been four more spies. From August to the last

The month is the same as July.

Anyone who enters the capital has been watched by people since they left the Xuyi Army. These spies are all coming to the capital to inquire about information. Some of them squat on the street outside the Privy Council, and they are obedient in various restaurants and teahouses.

, some are outside Xuande Gate, guarding several tea shops and teahouses frequented by the six minions.

In addition to these, there is also the manager of the Pu family, who goes back and forth seven or eight times a month, and four or five times a month less.

Those spies all stay in inns in the capital. When the stewards of the Pu family come to the capital, they stay at the home of Pu Gaoming’s eldest daughter’s husband, Yao Ming of the driver’s department.”

Guo Sheng paused and frowned slightly, "Since last month, the steward of the Pu family no longer stayed at Yao Ming's home, but stayed at an inn two streets away from Yao Ming's home.

The manager of the Pu family is just like those spies. He goes around drinking tea and being obedient every day. He doesn’t ask much, he just listens with his ears open and talks back and forth. There is nothing special. By the way, the manager of the Pu family has been there since last time.

After Yue moved into the inn, he often went to the Tianqing Temple area to drink tea. He spent most of the day there, just sitting and drinking tea, and no one came up to talk to him. "

"What do you think of Pu Gaoming?" Li Xia was silent for a while, then looked at Guo Sheng and asked.

"He is good at running the army, has good talents, and is a shrewd man, but he is too greedy." Guo Sheng answered very cautiously. He had never met Pu Gaoming. These were his impressions after watching Pu Gaoming for nearly a year.

"The prince said that if Pu Gaoming were placed in Xuyi, he would be ruined. If he had been in the north, he would have been a rare good general." Li Xia thought about Pu Gaoming. In the past, when the armies were in trouble, she killed many people.

, Pu Gaoming and the Pu family were also on the list of those who wanted to be killed. Pu Gaoming was handed over by Jin Zhuoyan, and he was willing to use all his family assets as military expenses and take his three sons to the northern front line to fight to the death. Jin Zhuoyan said that he was a good general.

, there were fewer major generals in the north, so she finally agreed...

Guo Sheng frowned slightly.

"This man is very family-oriented." Li Xia thought about the past, "Since last month, the steward of the Pu family no longer lives in the Yao family. I'm afraid that Pu Gaoming heard some bad news and nothing happened to the Yao family.

, that is... This is a bad letter against Pu Gaoming. The things Xuyijun and Pu Gaoming committed are enough to kill the Pu family. Pu Gaoming is afraid that his eldest daughter and the Yao family will be implicated."

"The imperial court plans to punish Pu Gaoming?" Guo Sheng asked in surprise, why didn't he hear any news?

Li Xia ignored Guo Sheng and looked out the window blankly, lost in thought. It took him a while to come back to his senses, "After Feng Jie entered the capital, Pu Gaoming sent twice as many people to the capital. He stared at Feng Jie and must have

He is worried, he is afraid that he will be the second Feng Fuhai and something will happen to the two armies heading north."

Li Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, "The sudden death of the two generals who went north, at least, scared Pu Gaoming. It made him worry like this... Such news will definitely not be heard in the market, and neither will the small officials in various ministries.

You may know that this letter must have been heard from the Yao family.

If an army commander like Pu Gaoming is to be punished, the emperor must nod his head. He is leading the Xuyi Army... Really punishing him is also a very confidential matter. Pu Gaoming is a very shrewd man. He must believe that this man

…”

Li Xia looked at Guo Sheng, and Guo Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This person must be from the center, Princess Shengming!"

Li Xia glanced at Guo Sheng and said, "The imperial court has no intention of punishing Pu Gaoming. Someone let the word out from Tianqing Temple. It is the sentence just now. The prince said that Pu Gaoming is a good general. He has been kept in the place for a long time and is about to be destroyed.

It’s such a pity that it fell off.”
