Qiu Jinfeng felt that Yu Zhi was quite courageous. From the fact that he asked Xiao Yuande for sincerity before going south, it could be seen that Yu Zhi never cared about imperial power.
However, Qiu Jinfeng changed the subject and said again: "Your Majesty, with Yu Zhi's temperament, I will not deceive Your Majesty on this matter."
What Qiu Jinfeng said was not groundless. Before Xiao Yuande showed him this memorial, Yu Zhi's letter was sent to Qiu Ruoruo first.
The letter to Qiu Ruoruo is meant for Qiu Jinfeng.
Yu Zhi would deceive Xiao Yuande and Qiu Jinfeng, but Yu Zhi would never deceive Qiu Ruoruo.
Xiao Yuande looked at Qiu Jinfeng, seemingly dissatisfied with Qiu Jinfeng's answer.
Just listen to Qiu Jinfeng continue to explain: "Although Yu Zhi has a lively temperament and his thinking is different from ordinary people, he is also a soft-hearted person. It is enough to see that he can help Guo Yongnian's daughter Guo Xian to kill Cangshan without hesitation. He is hot-blooded and honest. Therefore, I think that whether this matter is true or false, Your Majesty might as well have someone investigate it secretly. It will not be wrong after all."
Xiao Yuande pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
The world today is not peaceful. A catastrophe can break out at any time, overturning the entire world like a natural disaster. Any little thing can start a catastrophe.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuande asked: "Old Master, do you think there is any hope for Xiang Ji to break through?"
...
The Prince Chu's Mansion in Jiangnan City does not have the majestic prince, but the woman in red still drinks tea and reads in the courtyard every day, as if she will never get tired of it.
The second rider of Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry - the woman in red shirt.
The woman in red shirt is in charge of all military affairs under Xiang Ji. All the matters that the military commanders need to report are decided by the woman in red shirt.
At this moment, Cao Ling knelt in front of the woman in red shirt, lowered his head, and could not hide the guilt in his eyes.
There is no need for this among Yanyun's Eighteen Riders. But as a military general, Cao Ling had derelict in his duty by losing the mountain city. He is asking for forgiveness from the red-shirted woman.
The woman in red shirt is sitting on her knees in front of the table. The white porcelain cup on the table is filled with brown tea soup. A faint mist floats out, bringing a rich fragrance.
The red shirt is spread on the ground, the jade hand is holding a pen, and flowers are blooming on the snow-white paper. Looking from a distance, only a peaceful and peaceful scenery is left.
After a long time, the woman in red shirt put down her pen and drank all the tea in the porcelain cup. Only then did she remember that there was another person kneeling in front of her.
"The boy you are fighting against is called Yu Zhi." The woman in red shirt said calmly.
Regarding what Cao Ling said, the woman in red shirt was more interested in the tea soup in front of her.
Cao Ling was slightly startled and said, "Yu Zhi, is that the young man that Mr. San went to the north to hunt down?"
The woman in red shirt poured a cup of tea, looked at Cao Ling, and said, "It's him. Not long ago, Yu Zhi was ordered by the Emperor of Chu to patrol Nanzhou. However, I didn't expect that Yu Zhi would discover us so quickly. secret."
Cao Ling said: "The mountain city in Cangzhou Prefecture was also discovered by Yu Zhi."
"Since it has been discovered, it doesn't matter if it's just one place or several places." The woman in red shirt put down her teacup, stood up and said, "The Lord has not left the Gutian Tower yet. Before that, the entire Nanzhou cannot be in chaos."
Cao Ling's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "What do we need to do?"
The woman in red shirt picked up a letter and handed it to Cao Ling. Before Cao Ling arrived, she had already heard about what happened in Sucheng County. Not only Su Cheng County, but also the entire Nanzhou Prefecture, big and small things will be reported to this palace.
Therefore, the girl in red shirt was also prepared early.
"Nanzhou Prefecture does not allow such young people to exist."
Cao Ling took the letter and left the palace without reading it. He believed in the red-shirted woman, and his trust even exceeded his own.
In the nearly twenty years in Nanzhou Prefecture, the red-shirted girl helped Xiang Ji lay the foundation of Nanzhou, raised troops and grain, and controlled everything in Nanzhou. She was quite like a woman who would not give way to men, and strategized. spirit.
Cao Ling had just walked away for a moment when a figure slowly appeared behind the woman in red shirt. It was as if he had never existed, and yet it seemed as if he had always been there.
The figure is wearing a veil, and from the outline of her face under the veil, it is not difficult to tell that this woman must be a beauty. But in reality, his face was covered in scars, and he had endured countless inhuman tortures, both large and small. This face alone would shock anyone who saw it for the first time.
The woman's figure is as slender as a spiritual snake, and she has a bit of youthful charm, but it's a pity that her terrifying face is scary.
"Do you want me to kill him?" the woman said.
The woman in red shirt shook her head, took out another porcelain cup and filled it with tea.
The brown tea soup swirls in the cup, and then the aroma gradually becomes stronger.
"Li Haomiao is still in Jiangnan City, and Mr. Three and the others don't dare to act rashly. We'd better wait for the Lord to come out of the Gutian Tower. If the Lord breaks through, we can deal with Li Haomiao. Otherwise, a sword master is enough It is worth all the soldiers and horses in my Nanzhou."
The woman said without any emotion: "I have been acting secretly. Maybe Li Haomiao will not notice that I left Jiangnan City."
The woman in red shirt still shook her head and said: "Maybe. Li Haomiao has never seen you. If you go to Su City with your presence hidden, there may be a chance. However, there is no need."
The woman in red shirt continued to explain: "Our Crown Prince is coming. Two days ago, he specially asked to leave Yu Zhi to him. Haha, if the Crown Prince is willing to contribute to the Lord, why should we stop him? It’s time for the crown prince to repay his years of blessing and training.”
The woman continued: "Back then, the prince was just a baby when he was brought back to the palace. I'm afraid even he himself didn't know his life experience."
The woman in red shirt was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Over the years, he has been with the Lord and tried his best to please the Lord. He should also have discovered some clues. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the woman is not present, the Lord But he never pretended to be a loving father and a filial son."
There was no pity in the woman's heart. If Xiang Jinghao had not been brought back to the palace, he would have starved to death in some street, and then the thin body would have been thrown into the ditch.
The woman in red shirt looked down upon the coldness of the world and could not feel any sympathy in her heart.
She smiled lightly and said: "Everyone has their own use in this world. The prince's appearance also has tasks he should complete."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman's figure quietly disappeared into the air.
The newly brewed tea soup was still steaming with heat, but I didn’t drink it in one sip.
The woman in red shirt sighed, "What a waste of this good tea."
...
There are countless pavilions and pavilions in Jiangnan City. The breeze blows in the willows and stirs a pool of spring water.
Jiangnan City is not as majestic as Kyoto. It is more like a high-spirited young man, full of vigor and vitality.
In a bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves are green and rustle in the wind.
The wind stirred up the sword dance, and countless sword lights surged in the bamboo forest, like wind blowing or rain, echoing throughout the entire bamboo forest.
The bamboo leaves flew down one after another, and then split into two in mid-air, turning into two thinner bamboo leaves.
There are no two identical bamboo leaves in the world, but under the light of the sword, all the bamboo leaves have their own "twin brothers".
After a stick of incense, the sword light dissipated, and a young man in white walked out of the bamboo forest.
The young man was Ye Qinghuan. After that night, he was captured by Mr. Three and led all the way to Jiangnan City.
Along the way, many twists and turns happened, which made Ye Qinghuan stay in Jiangnan City temporarily.
In the pavilion not far in front of Ye Qinghuan, a woman in white walked out. She was holding a guqin in her hand. She was elegant and refined, as if she was integrated into the landscape in front of her.
Ye Qinghuan looked at the woman and said, "Your piano skills have improved again. You will soon be able to reach the eighth level of Kaibei."
The woman in white is none other than Si Qinxue, the fourth of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. Si Qinxue's master was the previous fourth rider, so she became one of Yanyun's eighteen riders.
Si Qinxue also looked at Ye Qinghuan, thought for a moment and said, "Your swordsmanship has already found its direction. Your practice progress will surpass mine in the future."
The two of them were equally dressed in white and equally cold-hearted. The conversation between the two was simple and direct, and the compliments were unpretentious and without any embellishment.
"Let's go. Aunt Lu is waiting for us." Si Qinxue said.
The trail down the mountain is not long, deep and quiet, with few people around.
The two people in white clothes and snow have walked countless times, walking together without saying a word, with only the chirping of cicadas and birds in their ears.
The two of them seemed to have a good understanding of each other, neither good at speaking nor wanting to speak.
After taking a few steps, Li Haomiao's figure blocked the way.
"Uncle Li (Senior Li)." They both said at the same time.
Li Haomiao first glanced at Si Qinxue, and then looked at Ye Qinghuan.
Si Qinxue understood the look and left immediately. Before leaving, Si Qinxue never forgot to say: "I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
Ye Qinghuan responded, then looked at Li Haomiao, and asked: "Uncle Li, has Yu Zhi come to Jiangnan City?"
Li Haomiao smiled and shook his head, but he looked at Ye Qinghuan with a joking look on his face.
"Xiao Yu'er is still in Su City, and I'm afraid he won't come to Jiangnan City for a while. However, I'm keeping an eye on Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry. If I really want to attack Xiao Yu'er, they won't be able to get out of Jiangnan City. "
Ye Qinghuan said: "Yu Zhi went south alone without a strong guard around him. The Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun is about to attack him, I'm afraid it will be easy."
Li Haomiao rolled his eyes and said: "I do have a good idea, which can make the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry lose a general. However, this matter requires your action."
A fierce light flashed in Ye Qinghuan's eyes. "What's the idea?"
Starting from the northern border, Mr. Third's relentless pursuit made Ye Qinghuan also hold a grudge.
Especially that time at Meteor Cliff, if not for a miracle, Yu Zhi and Li Wantong would have fallen off the cliff and died.
Li Haomiao leaned over and whispered a few words in Ye Qinghuan's ear, and then Ye Qinghuan's face turned red from her cheeks to her ears.
"Qing Huan, I'll leave this important matter to you. If you can defeat the enemy without fighting, it will be more satisfying than killing all the guys like Mr. San. Hum, I want to see Xiang What’s Jihui’s face like?”
Ye Qinghuan stopped paying attention to Li Haomiao and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
"Hey, you kid, don't leave. Think about it carefully. Si Qinxue is a good girl. You two are a good match. You married her, found yourself a wife, and eliminated a big enemy for Xiao Yu'er. , A hugely profitable deal!" Li Haomiao shouted from behind.
Immediately, Ye Qinghuan's pace accelerated a bit.
Li Haomiao shouted deliberately, loud enough for Si Qinxue to hear.
Si Qinxue, who was still on the mountain road, hesitated, a trace of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. Then he showed a helpless look.
Alas, I can’t defeat the master of swordsmanship!
"Xiao Yu'er sent a message, asking for your help. Everything is in the letter."
Li Haomiao's voice sounded in Ye Qinghuan's ears again, and a letter appeared in his hands at some point.
