chapter 127

Chapter 127 Things are going on

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional to ignore it, but the orders of the general officer of Ningxia Town did not continue to be passed down after arriving in Pinglu City. However, without the orders from the superiors, Weizhen Fort was already desperately strengthening its vigilance. After hearing the rumors from Ningxia City, even the lazy military households in Weizhen Fort had to use their strength to repair the city walls, hoard various supplies, train themselves to prepare for a big battle.

Ningxia Town entered a state of alert. Yansui Town next to it and the distant Gansu Town were also heard and all of them were strengthening their alert. For a moment, the entire northwest region of the Ming Dynasty was filled with wind and panic. Xi'an Prefecture was shocked, Shaanxi Dusi was shocked, the three-sided Governor was shocked... Ministry of War... Cabinet...

The Minister of War in the 44th year of Wanli was Zhou Jiamo. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing and the oldest Jinshi in the entire Wanli Dynasty. He had been in charge of the Ministry of War for two years. As a seventy-year-old man, Zhou Jiamo had adopted the policy of turning big things into small things and small things into small things, and tried not to make trouble. Because he knew very well that since the three major campaigns, Emperor Wanli had hated making big moves.

In Zhou Jiamo's opinion, Emperor Wanli was still active in his heart and was never afraid of war. Otherwise, there would not be three major battles. However, Emperor Wanli had a fatal flaw, which was that he valued money too seriously. He always tried every means to increase his income in the treasury and was always worried about the control of Taicang silver. Wars cost money. Emperor Wanli didn't want to spend money, but just wanted to save money. It would be better to have less trouble than more trouble.

However, Zhou Jiamo was still very angry after receiving a report from the Shaanxi Dusi. This old man was definitely a Han dynasty and was most unwilling tolerate others invading the majesty of the Celestial Empire. In Liaodong, the Jianzhou Jurchens tried to cause trouble, and Zhou Jiamo strongly advocated strong suppression. Now, the Tatars in the northwest region were about to cause trouble again. Zhou Jiamo thought of strong suppression without thinking. He immediately picked up the memorial and went to the palace to meet Emperor Wanli...

Poor Wang Qinian never thought that Xu Xingxia would give him a very simple task, and in the end he would cause such a big disturbance. Although he was a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, he was actually a little unreliable among the Jinyiwei. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to such a remote area. Thinking of the serious consequences of the matter, Wang Qinian was a little scared.

He closed the door of the grocery store tightly, squatting alone in the corner, complaining in pain: "Isn't this Bai Siwen just asking you to spread a rumor? Why is it so terrible? It seems like it's going to be overturned, and even the emperor knows... God bless you, don't find me..."

"Strange, what are they doing when they go south?"

In the study of Prince Qing’s Mansion, Prince Qing Zhu Shuixin was talking to a man in black.

The man in black bandaged the places outside his eyes tightly with a black scarf, as if he could not see anyone. His eyes were deeply sunken, and his eyes were still a little blue. The black clothes he was wearing were also very wide, and the hem was dragged to the ground. There were some strange patterns on the top of the black clothes. No matter from which angle, the man in black looked at it, there was a strange aura.

"It's not clear yet, there's no relevant information."

The man in black answered solemnly, with a very hard tone, as if he was not very familiar with Chinese.

Although he was standing in front of King Qing and King Qing himself was sitting, he did not feel his respect for King Qing from his tone. From this, he speculated that he was not a subordinate of King Qing. Since he was not a subordinate of King Qing, he was qualified to appear in this secret study of the royal palace, and the identity of the man in black seemed even more strange.

King Qing suddenly asked, "What do you say in Guihua City?"

The man in black still said in a stiff tone: "They said that Hellekin had transferred some of the troops from the Daqingshan front line, which was probably a complete thousand-man team. However, it is not clear whether these troops will go south."

King Qing's left hand slowly pressed on the desk and rubbed it gently back and forth. This was his habitual action when thinking about problems. After a moment, King Qing's left hand stopped rubbing the desk, his eyes became cold, and he said deeply: "This Sobud is really a 25-year-old. He couldn't get along with a hundred households in the garage and humiliated his identity in vain. Hellegin was also making a mess! He actually dispatched a team of thousands of people!"

"What did he do when he went south? Are he going to attack Ningxia City? Do you think Ningxia Town is not enough to attract the attention of the court? Do you have to make trouble like Liaodong Dusi? What are the benefits for them? The benefits are all taken away by the people from the Mujian Society. Not only does he not restrain himself every year, but now it is getting more and more excessive! People like Xu Xingxia should teach him a lesson!"

The man in black said stiffly: "The Mujian Society may not be able to get benefits. This time Hellejin came in a fierce manner and actually used a team of thousands of people. If Li Maohui and Li Guozhen learned the real situation, they would probably scratch their heads. If the Mujian Society was defeated, the emperor would definitely not forgive them. We just took the blame to get rid of them and replaced them with the people in the royal palace."

King Qing nodded and said cautiously: "I guess it may not be able to get what I want. Just a Hellerjin tribe can make a big deal? There are some skills behind the scenes of Mujianshe. Alas, this hateful Sobud will affect our overall plan. It's really damn. These traitorous guys. Damn, it's so hateful!"

The man in black thought for a while and hesitated, "Then... should I turn on the kestrel?"

King Qing shook his head and said, "No! Kestrel is our trump card and cannot be used easily. Since the Hellejin tribe wants to fight Xu Xingxia to the death, let them bite the dog! By the way, you arrange someone to coordinate. Before Sobud arrives, Xu Xingxia's last military achievements will be fulfilled in the name of the royal palace. No matter who wins and loses in the end, Xu Xingxia is a talent."

The man in black nodded and suddenly said, "Tang Chenniu's nose seems to be still in Weizhen Fort..."

King Qing waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "Don't care about him, let him die! Isn't he in Weizhen Fort? Isn't he still carrying an amazing person by his side? Let them slowly make trouble in Weizhen Fort. If the bull's nose dies, I will applaud. I don't think of those pretentious guys the most!"

The man in black nodded and left the study silently.

The back garden of Prince Qing’s Mansion is full of flowers and the fragrance is charming.

April is the time for orchids to bloom. In the back garden of Prince Qing’s Mansion, a large number of precious orchids are planted. When the breeze blows, the orchids sway, like a group of fresh and elegant ladies dancing gracefully. That beauty is implicit and enchanting, not fighting, not speaking, not charming, not showing, not revealing, and being humble like a gentleman.

Princess Qing Su Xiaoxiao is swinging. Although she is already a mother of a child, Su Xiaoxiao still looks so young and so beautiful. She is wearing a long hanging skirt, goose yellow, which makes her skin look more and more shattered. There are phoenix patterns on the neckline, and a beaded silk-woven coat on the outside. The tassels on the waist are hung low, and they are decorated with white jade rings, which are quite graceful.

"The breeze sways the green rings, the cool dew drops the jade in the green. The beauty is not woven, and the fragrance is as fragrant as the empty valley. Xie Ting is filled with fragrant grass, and Chu Wan is full of green sha. I suddenly meet each other, what will happen to the year of the year?" Su Xiaoxiao sang softly, her voice round and beautiful. This is "Ode to Orchids" by Tang Yanqian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and is also one of Su Xiaoxiao's favorite poems.

A graceful and pretty maid appeared in front of Su Xiaoxiao through layers of orchids, and whispered: "Princess, the person we are looking for is indeed in Weizhen Castle. Her current name is Zhu Hengzhi. Taoist Master Tang Chen is also in Weizhen Castle."

Su Xiaoxiao asked the swing to stop slowly, and the smile on her face seemed a little strange, as if she was recalling something. After a while, she said to herself: "Zhu Hengzhi? Wang Hengzhi, Zhu Hengzhi, it seems that she still has deep resentment and can't forget her mother at all times. The bitch named Zheng, I'm afraid that this time I will be in trouble. It's strange that Zhu Hengzhi is willing to let her go."

She got off the swing, walked slowly among the orchids, and said slowly: "Strange, what was she doing when she stayed in Weizhen Fort? Didn't she want to practice? She came to Weizhen Fort to practice? She didn't lose her hair, didn't take any slaughter, did not become a monk, did not eat vegetarian food, and did not leave the world. This is also called practice. It's a pity that others are favored, there is no way!"

The maid followed her and said carefully: "Empress, I heard that the Tartars were going south in a big way. Could it be for her?"

Su Xiaoxiao sneered, picked a white orchid, pinched it in her fingers, then tore it apart one by one, and threw it on the pebbled path. She said disdainfully: "Give Hellerkin a few more courage, and dare not make any decisions about her. If Hellerkin knew her true identity, she would probably be scared to pee. She must have hit her."

The maid hesitated and said, "Then... should we tell her?"

Su Xiaoxiao picked another orchid, tore it apart, and said coldly: "Don't she know that the Tartars are coming? The news of the old man from the bull's nose is more sensitive than anyone else. What do she don't know? Whether she will leave or not has anything to do with us?"
