Liu Yong was waiting. He was waiting for King Su to take the initiative to lower his body and come to him.
King Su was also waiting. He was waiting for Liu Yong to lose his composure and come to him to discuss the army's expedition.
An invisible storm swept through the entire imperial capital because of His Majesty's newspaper.
As the center of the storm, Liu Yijin was sitting in his house in a daze.
The three ladies sat on both sides with different expressions. Lan Yuer was a little excited, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Liu Yijin from time to time.
"Where's Mengyao? What did Mengyao do?"
Liu Yijin felt a little anxious.
The eldest lady did not recommend that Liu Yijin go into battle, and the reason was good. He had never led an army in a war, and he had never killed more than the top leader. Such a person actually led an army of 100,000 to go north. Isn't this looking for death?
The second wife Wang Ying and the third wife Sun Sangxiang were also a little hesitant. Although they believed in Liu Yijin's ability, leading troops in war was different from others.
This is like two people fighting and commanding a person from Qinghe Town to fight. It is not the same level of fighting at all. Besides, what if more people die?
Besides, let Liu Yijin be the general? Isn't this obviously taking the blame?
If the battle is good, then the soldiers will work hard and the supplies will be abundant. If you don't fight well, then one general will be incompetent and a thousand troops will be exhausted!
"Master, this is obviously a hole dug by His Majesty for you. You can't jump out of it!" Song Lian looked slightly angry: "If you don't dare to go to His Majesty, I'll go find her and tell her!"
Wang Ying also nodded: "Sister, what you said makes sense. When a hundred thousand troops go out to fight, the mobilization of food and grass alone is a big project. You have no foundation in the court. The prime minister and King Su will not stand on our side at all. This is too much. Difficult."
Sun Sangxiang was also anxious: "Yes, Master. The eldest sister and the second sister are right."
Liu Yijin nodded, but he had an idea of his own in his heart, but he couldn't tell them this idea because it was a bit too bold.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses. As a general, your majesty, prime minister, and even King Su will all arrange people inside.
Although he is a puppet, he is not without a chance.
If you can gain a foothold in the military through this, it will definitely be helpful to your future development.
And the most important thing is that he wants to establish his own power.
The leader of a Wolf Guard regiment, a generalissimo commanding a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, His Majesty valued him so much that he couldn't believe that some people in the army and court could not see his rise to the top.
Besides, neither King Su nor the Prime Minister is an old fox. Although King Su is very low-key now, he has been at the border for so many years and can take charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households when he comes back. Such a person is low-key not because he is afraid of the prime minister, but because he feels that the prime minister is not his opponent at all.
In fact, Liu Yijin has not relaxed his vigilance towards King Su during this period of time. This famous God of War of the Daqian Dynasty, although he is not young and has experienced the official silver incident, but in the military camp, King Su's The prestige is still very high.
What if I could replace it?
Liu Yijin knew that this was not easy, and even a single mistake could arouse His Majesty's suspicion.
But the temptation brought by this matter is also great.
Liu Yijin thought of Mengyao at this time. He needed Mengyao's support, and even more needed Mengyao's ability.
A person who can make the number one in the martial arts list willing to listen to her. If she can take them to the north together, there should be no problem with her own safety.
As soon as Mengyao entered the house, she heard Liu Yijin's shout. She hurriedly walked to the hall and saw everyone there, while Liu Yijin was sitting in the middle with a solemn face.
"Mengyao, you're here at the right time. Please help persuade him."
Song Lian stepped forward, gently took Mengyao's hand and said.
Ever since Mengyao bravely rescued Liu Yijin last time, Song Lian's feelings for Mengyao have risen to a new level.
In her heart, Mengyao's status was second only to Sun Sangxiang. If the Liu family needed a wife to assist Liu Yijin, then Mengyao would definitely be better than Lan Yu'er.
Mengyao smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, what happened?"
Song Lian told the story, and Mengyao was stunned: "General?"
"Yes, Liu Yijin has done this, let alone fighting against Daxia. This, this is simply ridiculous."
Mengyao glanced at the second lady and the third lady. They both sighed slightly, but Lan Yuer looked at her with stern eyes.
"Mengyao, please help me analyze it. Can I do it?"
Liu Yijin looked at Mengyao and said.
"Although I am also worried about your safety, wouldn't it be bad if you disobey your orders?"
Song Lian was stunned for a moment and hummed: "It's not like I've resisted the decree before. The worst I can do is resist it again."
Mengyao burst into laughter and consoled her: "Sister, if you resist the decree this time, the consequences will be very serious. You may be despised by everyone in the world!"
Song Lian was startled: "How could it be so serious?"
Mengyao took out the newspaper: "Sister, take a look at this first."
Song Lian looked solemn after reading the Di newspaper.
"Sister, this newspaper can be seen by the entire imperial capital. Now everyone in the world knows that our master is going to lead an army to protect the border and attack Daxia. If we don't go at this time, it is estimated that our doorstep will be destroyed. Those people who stand every day could flood our house with their spit."
Song Lian's face suddenly fell: "What should we do?"
Mengyao said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that our adults were thrown into prison by His Majesty and poked in the back by the people, saying they had no spine. But our lives were saved."
"The worst case scenario is that we will go back to Qinghe Town and we won't contact anyone then. We just don't know if people in the world will find Qinghe Town."
Song Lian's face turned pale.
Liu Yijin on the side saw that the heat was almost over, and sighed: "Since Madam won't let me go, then I will go to Your Majesty to resign. Anyway, we have no foundation in the imperial capital, and I don't want to have one in the future. If the Prime Minister or anyone else comes back in the future, If they try to trick me, I will just kill them with a knife."
Seeing Liu Yijin's calm expression, Song Lian's eyes turned red and she punched Liu Yijin on the shoulder. "I know you want to go. A man should have great ambitions when he is born in the world."
"But, I'm just worried about you."
Liu Yijin gently held Song Lian in his arms and said in a warm tone: "My little fool, I'm just leading the troops, and I'm not going out to fight in person. Besides, the eldest princess is still at the border. She's better than I'm much more powerful, but if I can't do it anymore, I'll just stay in bed every day, and I'll just come back when the battle is over."
Song Lian's face turned red and she glared at Liu Yijin: "Who is your little fool? You are the one."
Seeing that the knot in Song Lian's heart was relieved, Liu Yijin couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Mengyao.
"But I'm not worried about you going by yourself. It's most appropriate for Lan Yu'er and Mengyao to follow you."
"This is not good."
Song Lian said: "What's wrong? Mengyao is resourceful and resourceful, and Lan Yu'er is a Uighur and a medical saint. I can rest assured that they are by your side."
"However, you must agree to one condition."
Song Lian pointed at Wang Ying and Sun Sangxiang: "Leave an extra queen for the Liu family."
Wang Ying and Sun Sangxiang suddenly blushed.
Liu Yijin also rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "Sister, we only have three days."
"What's wrong with three days? Anyway, I'll keep you busy at night, but I won't keep you busy during the day."
Lan Yu'er, who was standing aside, was moved: "Sir, I have prepared medicine here, and it doesn't have any side effects. How about you give it a try, and I guarantee that you will be active and active for three days, and you will never tire of it."
Liu Yijin looked at Lan Yuer with strange eyes: "You are a medical saint, why are you studying these things when you have nothing to do?"
"Because I'm a doctor."
Lan Yuer's faint words made Liu Yijin obediently shut his mouth.
Liu Yijin, Wang Ying and Sun Sangxiang were driven directly to the backyard by Song Lian, which also made all the maids and servants go to the backyard without incident.
After chatting with Mengyao and Lan Yuer for a while, she hurried back to the backyard.
Mengyao looked at Lan Yu'er and said with a smile: "Sister, your pills will be useful this time."
Lan Yu'er looked at Mengyao and suddenly bowed respectfully: "Thank you, sister."
Mengyao hurriedly said: "Sister, what do you mean? This is impossible."
"Without your help, I'm afraid..."
Mengyao smiled: "This is not my help. This is just a gamble between the empress and the Lord. We only played a small role."
"Sister, who is that Qingluan next to you?"
"My brother, of course, is not a close relative."
Lan Yuer hesitated for a moment: "Then can you take him north with you?"
Mengyao chuckled: "I know what you mean, but I have to discuss this matter with him first."
Lan Yu'er nodded and expressed her worries: "Your Excellency has gone to the north. Naturally, I will be protected, and maybe the Uighur problem can be solved, but I am worried about Maitreya Buddhism."
Mengyao took a sip of tea gently: "Maitreya Buddhism will not give up. After you leave the imperial capital, the safety of the family is the first priority. So in order to prevent the enemy from harming the people in the family, I decided to invite a couple to come out. .”
"Husband and wife?" Lan Yu'er looked confused, "Who are you?"
Mengyao hesitated slightly: "You will understand who it is when the time comes, but I need you to refine a few pills for me."
"What is this for?"
"The scars of old age."
Lan Yuer nodded and said: "It's not very difficult. I have one kind that I carry with me here, but I only have three of them at the moment."
"It's enough to give me one."
Lan Yuer simply gave all three pills to Mengyao: "As long as I can invite people over, I can recreate the pills for them."
Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Your words are enough."
After Mengyao finished speaking, she walked out directly, "If you ask me, sir, just say I'm in a hurry."
Mengyao walked out of Liu's Mansion and got directly into a carriage: "Let's go to Yuchao Lane."
Yuchao Alley is a place where arowanas and fish are mixed in the imperial capital. The people who live here are poor except for businessmen.
Although the Imperial City covers a large area, it is divided into 110 buildings. According to the current population distribution, nearly 100,000 people live in one building. Although there are three-story buildings in many places, most of them are ordinary buildings. Brick house.
The people who live in Yuchao Alley are the common people among the common people. Some people will never leave Yuchao Alley in their entire lives.
The carriage stopped slowly at the entrance of the alley. The men, women and children in ragged clothes looked at the wealthy carriage with numb and curious eyes.
According to common sense, it is impossible for anyone who can get on this carriage to come to this place.
A lavender dress appeared in front of everyone, and then an extremely beautiful woman stepped out of the carriage.
Everyone immediately exclaimed, with a faint smile on her beautiful face, and shrewd wisdom and cunning shining in her flowing eyes.
Those who had been bachelors all their lives couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and a certain part of their body tilted up unconsciously.
Just when a few gangsters whistled and wanted to tease her further, the woman slowly turned her head and her eyes instantly turned cold.
"You even dare to tease me, you are so impatient."
"Ouch." A young man in his twenties stepped forward with a cynical smile on his face: "Madam's beauty is meant for people to see. If no one appreciates it, how can Madam's beauty be spread around the world. "
"Really?" Mengyao narrowed her eyes: "But I don't like flies."
"If you don't like flies, how about you like the uncle?"
Several boys even laughed wildly.
Mengyao sighed: "It seems that you people here really need to be repaired."
"Haha, my hamster has been living in Yuchao Alley for more than ten years. Today is the first time I heard that someone wants to teach me a lesson. You don't know where this place is, Yuchao Alley! It can't even control the court. Do you think you want to discipline a little lady in a place like this?"
Mengyao raised her finger and pointed toward the back: "Look there."
Hamster and the others looked in confusion and saw a group of men dressed in black approaching quickly. A white wolf head was embroidered on the chest of these people's clothes.
"Wolf guard?" Hamster's thin body suddenly started to tremble, and he hurriedly knelt in front of Mengyao: "Sir, spare my life!"
"Why, you guys in Yuchao Alley are also afraid of the Wolf Guard?"
The hamster swallowed: "The wolf guards are much more powerful than the patrolmen. We don't even have a chance to survive in the hands of the wolf guards."
"It's okay to be afraid."
Mengyao raised her feet and walked forward: "Slap yourself a hundred times. If you miss one, I will cut something off your body."
The hamster and the others suddenly fell silent, and they all knelt on the ground obediently and whipped themselves.
Dozens of wolf guards stood at the entrance of the alley with cold eyes and slightly unsheathed steel knives.
Two high-ranking wolf guards came over: "Sir, we will escort you."
Mengyao shook her head: "Don't worry, no one dares to touch me here."
Mengyao walked forward alone, and those watching the excitement suddenly dispersed.
Although women are nice, the women of Wolf Guard cannot be messed with.
Mengyao walked to the entrance of the alley, looked around, and walked in.
Knock a few times on the third black door.
The door was opened by a man in his forties. He glanced at Mengyao doubtfully: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Mengyao looked at the man in front of her. He was dressed simply and his eyes seemed to be naturally dull and dull. For a moment, Mengyao doubted whether the news given to her by this guy Qingluan was true.
"Are you a swordsman?"
The faint words made the man's eyes instantly shine with a cold light: "Who are you?"
Under the captivating gaze, Mengyao said calmly: "The fact that I can find this place naturally shows that we are not outsiders."
The swordsman's face was cold: "Girl, I haven't been in the world for many years."
Mengyao chuckled and said, "Then do you know this one?"
Mengyao took out the Wolf Guard Token.
The swordsman looked at the ferocious white wolf head, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Are you from the Wolf Guard?"
Mengyao chuckled: "I am from the Wolf Guard, but I am also Qingluan's sister."
The swordsman's eyes were full of disbelief.
Mengyao glanced inside: "The swordsman, the daughter of the Sword Clan, the third person on the martial arts list is willing to live in Yuchao Lane. If this spreads out, no one will believe it."
The swordsman looked at Mengyao warily: "For Qingluan's sake, I don't want to say anything more, but if the girl is here today to be a lobbyist for the Wolf Guard, I think it's better to skip it."
Mengyao looked at the swordsman with a smile: "I came here today to give you a big gift."
The swordsman looked at Mengyao taking out something, his eyes flashed with cold light, his palm stretched out with lightning, and he clasped it directly on Mengyao's neck.
Mengyao looked at him coldly, breathing hard and said: "If you don't want your wife to recover completely, you can kill me now."
"What did you say?" The swordsman slowly let go of his hand, "Can you heal my wife's internal injuries?"
Mengyao glared at the swordsman angrily: "What, is that what you plan to say?"
The swordsman hesitated for a moment and turned slightly: "Girl, I have offended you many times before, please forgive me. Please come in!"
