There are two ways to deal with these remnants of the East Palace.
One is to strike first and send a large army into the mountains to suppress the bandits.
This move will gain the upper hand and put an end to these remnants as quickly as possible without affecting the western hunt. However, there are still some disadvantages.
They can escape into the mountains!
There will always be some masters who run into the mountains out of nowhere and come out out of nowhere, and then suddenly appear in front of someone and stab them to death.
Xiuyi and Dongchang are indeed capable, but the former Donggong was also not weak, and their origins and inheritance are from the same ancestry as Changwei.
One is to trick them out of the mountain according to the original plan, and then catch them all.
The advantage is that it will be wiped out very cleanly, but the disadvantage is the same as the first one, if some remnants go crazy and break through the encirclement, then rush into somewhere and kill so and so.
After much thought, Jia Hui decided to follow the second plan.
There are too many variables to change the plan rashly, and the biggest problem is, what should I do if the remnant runs into the mountains and hides?
This is not like fighting against the Jianghu and White Lotus Sect. The former was watched by Dongchang from the beginning, and although the latter discovered it late, he finally got into Xiuyi.
As for the remnants of the East Palace, they are so unfamiliar. I don’t even know how many there are, what they look like, and what abilities they have. What if when a large army raids their camp, they burn all their identity documents and so on? ?
I don’t even know who ran away!
Moreover, the shortcomings of the plan to lure the snake out of the hole can be easily solved. All the high-ranking officials and nobles can be transferred in advance.
"Lao Jiu, go call Tan Ji. Forget it, you go directly to him. Next, you will focus on the activities in Tangyu, Lantian County, and check the Lantian Camp!"
It is so close to Lantian County, but the Lantian Camp stationed here has never once said that there are some suspicious people who often bring large quantities of supplies into the mountains. When sending a letter to inquire, the commander-in-chief of the camp was still taking photos. The chest said nothing was abnormal.
There must be something wrong with Lantian Camp!
I just don’t know if the entire Lantian camp surrendered to the remnants of the East Palace, or if the officers of the camp took bribes, or if they simply haven’t fought in peace for many years and have lost all their skills without realizing it.
have no idea.
However, the first possibility is too low. The former old prince has almost nothing to do with Kansai, and the only people in the East Palace who have anything to do with Kansai are a few Jinshi from Kansai and
Jia She!
Jia Daishan has also been a commander in the northwest for many years. As his eldest son, Jia She naturally has connections with Jia Daishan's old subordinates, but in the end, Jia Daishan explicitly handed them over to Jia Hui.
Moreover, Jia Hui had also seen the files of the officers of the Lantian camp. It was just a common friendship of giving gifts on three occasions and two birthdays. They had no reason at all for the entire camp to defect to the East Palace.
"yes!"
Hu Jiu, who had been standing under the eaves waiting for orders, hurriedly ran towards the station of Xiu Yiwei.
Tan Ji also got promoted.
Although there are still some deficiencies in intelligence work, after all, it is not specialized in intelligence, but more inclined to the work of embroidering Nanya, such as torture and extorting confessions, but it is also earned from pacifying the last batch of Qianliang remnants, that is, the White Lotus Cult bandits. His military exploits allowed Tan Ji to return to the Xiuyi Weinan Town Fusi to serve as the town's envoy.
At the same time, he also obtained the title of Viscount and the title of Third Grade.
Relying on these, Tan Ji became extremely popular for a while and became the number two figure in the Xiuyiwei Yamen after the capital commander, fighting against him.
It can be said that he is one of the future commanders of the Embroidery Guards trained by the Second Sage to Chen Si.
It can be used, but limited by his intelligence capabilities, which are obviously inferior to those of interrogation and other tasks, he can only be a backup.
Moreover, it is still unclear whether Chen Si can deal with several other princes without losing much of his own strength.
Looking at Hu Jiu's retreating back until he disappeared from his sight, Jia Hui looked back at the moon which was almost a disk but could still see an oval. He raised his wine gourd to the moon, and then filled the gourd with Drink all the wine in one gulp
"After drinking, go back to the house!"
After tying the gourd on his belt, Jia Hui took a deep breath and stood up. He drank a gourd of wine but still walked steadily.
Walking to the eaves, he tapped his toes and jumped down. He landed as lightly as a cat without making a single sound.
Jia Hui nodded with satisfaction and shook his shoulders.
Well, my skills are still very good!
When he was about to push the door open and enter the house, he found that the door opened from the inside.
squeak
"Oops!" Li Wan, who was only wearing his middle coat, was so frightened that he retreated into the house involuntarily.
I was about to go out and ask the man sitting on the roof to go back to his room to rest, but as soon as he opened the door, he found a big man standing outside! Li Wan was immediately frightened. Just when he was about to find someone to hold on to, and prepare to fight to the death with this thief who could break through the defense of the generals and the master who was drinking on the roof, the candlelight in the room shone. to the big man's face.
"Oh, you're going to die!" Li Wan, who recognized that this was his master, became furious. He picked up the paperweight on the desk and tried to fight Jia Hui!
She was ready to commit suicide just now to save her dignity!
"It's my fault, it's all my fault that I didn't make any noise when I jumped down. Madam, put down the paperweight quickly!"
Although Li Wan's movements were weak, his strength was not good, and his speed was not good either.
But after all, he was the one who scared her and was in the wrong, so he could only pretend to be chased and beaten by Li Wan until she calmed down, and then he took the paperweight away from her hand.
Of course, Li Wan wouldn't really hit him with a paperweight, he would just slap him with his other hand.
After sending away the maids and soldiers who came to check on the situation, Jia Hui helped the angry Li Wan sit on the bed. Then he quickly walked to the table beside him and poured two cups of tea, carrying it to Li Wan. Around Wan.
"Madam, calm down. Madam, calm down. Come and have a cup of tea to calm down your anger."
As he spoke, Jia Hui handed the tea cup to Li Wan, watching her glance at him angrily, and drank the warm tea in one gulp.
"Brother Hui, please don't do this again. Can you make some noise? I was so scared just now. I almost... almost..."
Li Wan took out the scissors hidden under the pillow.
"I almost couldn't help but stab you with scissors. Brother Hui, please don't scare me again next time, okay?"
Just as he said this, Li Wan pointed the tip of the scissors at his own neck and looked at Jia Hui with an aggrieved look on his face, with tears in his eyes, as if to say that if you don't agree, I will go down in front of you.
"Chengchengcheng, don't dare to do it next time. I will make some noise when I walk at home. There will be no next time. Madam, the scissors are dangerous, put them down quickly!"
With quick eyes and hands, Li Wan took the extra scissors and threw them to the ground. Jia Hui stood up again and walked over with a teapot to refill Li Wan's tea.
"Suck it! Then I will trust you once more." Li Wan drank the tea in the cup again, and his heart softened. After all, he was beaten and scolded, so that's it, the child was born. , can we still reconcile?
call.
Done!
Jia Hui raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stretched out her arm to wrap around Li Wan's shoulders, and began to comfort her by saying good words and promising conditions.
Just like when he was a child, he robbed her of delicious food, and the moment she pouted and started to cry, he leaned over and started to sign an unequal treaty to make her happy, and the relationship and affection began to skyrocket.
At this point, it is meaningless to find out whether she has a hold on him or he has a hold on her.
They have known each other and fallen in love like this for more than ten years. It has become a habit and the two of them enjoy it.
Finally, after he promised to take out the three-foot-tall red coral from the warehouse and put it in her room as a decoration, the matter was over.
Jia Hui, who had lost a three-foot-high red coral, was naturally furious. He threw the proud Duke's wife onto the bed and pressed on her regardless of her exclamations.
. . . . . .
"Huhu."
After a hard night's work, Cui He lay on the low bed with his messy-haired wife in his arms, looking up at the beams that supported the entire thatched shed, feeling neither happy nor sad.
"Hey!" Li Sansanniang arched into Cui He's arms like a cat, hugging her husband's arm and lying there quietly, closing her eyes and enjoying the rare alone time for the couple.
I have to participate in training with other companions who have been selected as assassins. Daily training on weekdays is fine, but when it comes to some kind of stealth training, assassination exercises and other trainings, it will be miserable. It can last for four or five days or even half a day. I can’t go home even once a month
After a while, she adjusted to a comfortable position. Then Li Sananniang opened her eyes and looked at her husband, whose eyes were dull.
"The boss~"
"No, no, no, no, I won't come!"
Cui He, who originally looked like he had seen through the world, jumped up in panic and quickly begged for mercy.
Logically speaking, he can be regarded as a warrior with extraordinary martial arts skills. Logically speaking, he should be very strong, but he is often beaten by his wife, an assassin who also practices martial arts, and is defeated.
"What? This isn't what I'm talking to you about, it's about the Crown Prince!" Li Sananniang curled her lips as she rolled her eyes at her husband, who was obviously thinking wrongly.
"Oh, what's wrong with the prince? Is there really no problem?"
It has been two days since I got the news that the prince also wanted to run away. The armor has been distributed to everyone. He also got his own armor and sword. Even his wife, who is an assassin, also received a set of conveniences. The action leather armor also comes with a set of knives.
"Master, I see that the Crown Prince really hates Rabbit and Master Tao to the point of itching his teeth. He even looks at his broken arm and sheds tears from time to time." At this point, Li Sananniang couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
She is a person who can easily empathize with others. When she thinks of the prince's miserable life experience, she can't help but want to shed tears.
"So, the prince really wants to run away?" Cui He glanced at his wife speechlessly, but Cui He was already used to his wife's behavior and knew that although she was crying, she was always listening and not looking after herself. I cried, so I asked again.
"Yes, the prince said that if he smokes, he will run with us and smoke. Oh, by the way, he gave me this."
She suddenly stopped crying. Li Sananniang quickly got up and got out of bed. She walked to the cabinet where her clothes were kept and took out a small baggage from the newly issued weapon bag.
"Why didn't you tell me that the prince asked you to bring something?"
After several years of marriage, they have become very familiar with each other. Cui He has become accustomed to his wife's informality. But when he saw the little bundle, Cui He was shocked. He quickly got out of bed and walked to his wife in three steps and then reached out to take the bundle.
"I... didn't you pull me over to make trouble as soon as you got home? Then I forgot about it all of a sudden!" Li Sananniang blushed and realized that it was not her fault. Then he looked directly at Cui He with a confident look.
"My fault, let's see what this is first." After a skilled apology and changing the subject, Cui He opened a corner of the small baggage in his hand before Li Sananniang could speak.
"hiss--"
A seal carved with a four-clawed python dragon and the five characters "Yichun Sanren Seal" and a rosewood plaque engraved with the seven block letters "Chen's Male Huazi Pingyuan" appeared in front of the couple!
"Isn't it Yichun Sanren who is the head of the family?" Li Sananniang held her breath and stared at the small white jade seal, which was not much bigger than her husband's thumb, and asked nervously.
"Yes, the late emperor's name is Yichun Sanren. This is the late emperor's private seal." Cui He looked at the small seal in his hand in shock and said in amazement.
With this private seal of the late emperor, the red sandalwood plaque next to it proving the prince's bloodline identity is insignificant and unimportant.
"Mother Thirty, it seems that the Crown Prince really wants to run away," Cui He sighed, but as if he thought of something, he quickly closed the bag and stuffed it into the quilt, then walked to the door and opened a door nervously. Seam, nervously observing the situation outside.
Li Sananniang also quickly put on her clothes and took out a small bundle from the quilt. She turned her hands over and disappeared.
"It's okay, there's no one outside." After repeated confirmation many times, Cui He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with weak legs, walked a few steps to the bed, and fell down on the bed.
Suddenly feeling a chill, Cui He raised his head and looked towards his body, only to find that his body was already covered with beads of sweat.
"Oh, then let's run with the prince?" Li Sananniang also breathed a sigh of relief, took off her clothes again and got into bed, and got into her husband's arms again like a cat.
"Yes, but we can't run away according to the original plan. You also know that the Crown Prince is too important. Those lunatics will definitely guard against letting anyone come into contact with the Crown Prince."
Although he and his wife have been indirectly involved in the tragic experience of the past few years by this prince, the fact that they have been together day and night for more than seven years is not a lie.
They have already seen clearly what kind of person the prince is. In fact, the prince is no different from them. They are all poor people who were implicated by the man who turned against Tiangang.
In addition, the tragic experience suffered by the prince also made them, who should hate him to death, couldn't help but feel pity.
"I want to take the crown prince with me. No brother or sister should be missing!" Cui He's eyes gradually became firmer as he lay on the bed holding his wife who was about to fall asleep.
July is gone...
