"Your Majesty, the message from the secret eagle of the Marquis Yunyang family has arrived!" Emperor Yongxi stayed up all night, waiting for the battle report from the southeast. He finally took a nap, and while he was dreaming, a voice suddenly woke him up.
"Quick, bring it up!"
Emperor Yongxi was extremely excited. Ying Xin came at this time, which meant that the war at Guhuaiguan had ended long ago. Otherwise, Qin Zhong would not have had time to report during the war.
"Your Majesty, the Eagle Letter is encrypted and must be decrypted." The eunuch said awkwardly, "But the method of decrypting it is in your hands. The slaves have no idea what it is talking about."
"Oh, I know, bring it up and I will decipher it myself." Emperor Yongxi chuckled. This set of encrypted communication methods was formulated by Qin Chong, Luo Xing and Emperor Yongxi before leaving, in order to ensure that they The secret of the communication will not be known to the fourth person.
The secret letter was taken up, and Emperor Yongxi translated it according to the code book. The content was very brief, but the matter was not trivial.
Qin Zhong captured Guhuai Pass within an hour. Yiyang Hou Ma Tianlu, the Southern Chu guard at Guhuai Pass, died suddenly. The Tianlang Army suffered less than a hundred casualties. The resisters of the Southern Chu Army in the pass were killed, and the rest surrendered.
A good start!
Emperor Yongxi was ecstatic.
This is a good thing, but until Yangzhou is captured, many information cannot be made public, and we have to endure it for two more days.
So Emperor Yongxi immediately spread out a piece of paper, wrote a secret letter, translated it into secret language, sealed it with lacquer, and had someone send it back quickly.
…
Yangzhou, Slender West Lake.
The guests who stayed overnight in Yanyu Tower were urged to leave early in the morning. When they boarded the beach very dissatisfied, they found that the Yanyu Tower painting boat had actually weighed anchor, and the painting boat was slowly sailing away from the shore and heading towards the lake. .
What's happening here?
If it hadn't been early in the morning, I'm afraid there would have been many people watching on the shore by now, and now there would only be these stunned prostitutes who were kicked off the boat.
It was so rare for Hua Fang to leave the dock where he was and kick all the guests off the ship without any warning.
On the boat.
Ning Yurou, with a radiant face, appeared in the lobby on the first floor of Huafang. She summoned everyone here except those who controlled Huafang.
"Congratulations to Sister Rou for finding her husband!" All the sisters on the boat knew at this glance that Ning Yurou's health, which she had guarded for many years, was broken.
The person who broke her body should be the legendary Mr. Shen who just bought a garden in Yangzhou.
This was considered a good match. From now on, Ning Yurou was regarded as a good person. She was a free woman and had no problem marrying anyone she wanted.
"Thank you. I have been with you sisters for many years. Today, Yurou is finally out of this day of showing off. I hope you sisters can find the one who belongs to you as soon as possible." Ning Yurou nodded lightly.
"Sister ordered someone to drive the boat away from the berth. Is it going to our brother-in-law's garden?" a woman asked.
"Yes, Mr. Shen bought a garden by Slender West Lake. There is a dock in the garden. Then the boat will be temporarily closed and docked." Ning Yurou said, "Sisters, you have been following me for many years and you have never had a break. , while I am getting married, I want everyone to have a rest and think about where to go in the future, or I can make arrangements for you. Anyway, everything is voluntary."
"When will Sister Rou get married?"
"It depends on what Mr. Shen means." Ning Yurou lowered her head slightly and smiled, unable to hide the joy in her heart.
"Sister Rou, Mr. Shen is so kind to you..."
"Mr. Shen is very good. My life has been full of hardships. I won't say any more. You all can go back and have a rest. I will be responsible for all your expenses during this period, as well as your wages." Ning Yurou announced.
"Sister Rou is wise!"
"Yingying, Xiaorui, Ling'er, Yulian, you four are coming with me." Ning Yurou stopped the four girls and gave an order.
"Yes, Sister Rou." The four girls responded.
The four girls followed Ning Yurou to the third floor and entered the tea room specially for entertaining guests. Luo Xing was sitting there waiting for them.
"The four of you come here to pay homage to the Marquis."
"Master Hou?"
The four women looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on, especially Ling'er who looked at Luo Xing with wide eyes and incredulous eyes.
"Yurou didn't introduce my identity to you?" Luo Xing laughed, stood up, and asked.
"Yurou dare not reveal your identity to anyone without the permission of the Marquis." Ning Yurou nodded slightly.
"You can say it now."
"yes."
"Sisters, the Master Shen Hong standing in front of you, codenamed Fox Seventeen, is the special envoy sent by the imperial court to Yangzhou. He is also in charge of the affairs of the three southeastern states. In addition, he is also the second-ranking canonized by the imperial court, and will also be Yurou's future leader. Husband." Ning Yurou couldn't help but blush a little when she mentioned the word "husband."
All four of them looked surprised.
"So, Mr. Shen is still one of our own?" Ling'er exclaimed.
"That's right, Shen Hong is just his pseudonym. You understand now." Ning Yurou nodded, "The Marquis came to Yangzhou for the imperial court to regain the three southeastern states, and Yangzhou is the top priority."
"Yes, the imperial court not only wants to regain the three southeastern states, but also wants to eat up the main force of the Huainan Army in Nanchun. At least it will force Nanchu to dare not have any other intentions within ten years!" Luo Xing added, "I came to Yangzhou , just here to close the door and beat the dog.”
"What does the Marquis want us to do?" Yingying asked.
"Yurou will arrange the specific tasks for you. I'm just here to meet you to clear up your doubts," Luo Xing said.
"Everyone understands the intention of the imperial court. Our mission is to keep the Nanchu Navy stationed in Yangzhou to prevent it from escaping!" Ning Yu Judo.
"Escape..."
"I might as well tell you the news that the imperial army has captured Guhuai Pass. In less than a day, early tomorrow morning, the imperial army will approach Yangzhou City. Once the army arrives, the Nanchu Navy will definitely flee to the south bank, and the navy will The ships can assist the Huainan Army in evacuating from the river bank, and we need to cut off the other side’s retreat.”
"But Lord Marquis, can they still recruit ships to help the army evacuate from the river?"
"Without the navy, our navy can enter the river. When the time comes, will they still have a chance to control the waterway?" Luo Xing explained.
Understood.
This is to first leave the Nanchu navy in Yangzhou, and then control the river waterways by himself, blocking the retreat path of the Nanchu army.
I really want to devour Nan Chu’s 200,000 Huainan Army in the three southeastern states in one go. If this battle is won, Nan Chu will be seriously injured. Moreover, the Huainan Army belongs to the Tian family. Once the Tian family loses military power, Nan Chu will lose its military power. The Chu court was bound to be in turmoil, so how could they bother with the Northern Expedition?
It would be good if you don’t ask for the Great Zhou Dynasty and don’t go south.
However, Nanchu has a powerful navy. Once this navy enters the river, it will be a dimensionality-reducing blow to the navy.
Therefore, the Southern Expedition of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not realistic at present. Therefore, after this battle is over, the possibility of signing a peace agreement is very high.
Unless Nan Chu is crazy and insists on having a fight with Da Zhou, then that's another story. At least neither Nan Chu nor Da Zhou have the strength to destroy each other now.
What's more, Nan Chu's overall economic strength is stronger than that of Da Zhou, and it is gradually catching up militarily. If it really launches a southern expedition, Da Zhou will be unable to sustain it, and it will not be possible to support war with war.
"But how do we do that?"
"Tonight, I will create a tornado on the river. When the time comes, the Nanchu Navy will be able to move to the Slender West Lake to escape as soon as possible. At that time, after all their ships have entered, I will use the ice sealing technique. Directly freeze the entrance." Luo Xing said.
"Is the Marquis still a spiritual cultivator?" Except for Ning Yurou, the four women were all shocked. Only those who cultivate the spiritual path can change the celestial phenomena on a small scale. This is the power of the spiritual path, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Of course, not everyone who practices the spiritual path can do it. They must reach the first level, or at least the level of the Great Spiritual Attendant, which is the second level of the spiritual path.
The spiritual path is difficult to cultivate, and those who are above the second level are masters. The first-level spiritual cultivation is difficult to see, and the spiritual cultivation of the spiritual realm is even more rudimentary.
Martial arts is easy first and then becomes more difficult. The further you go, the more difficult it becomes, especially the extraordinary, and there are many catastrophes. However, the spiritual path is difficult first and then easy. The further you go, the more accumulated you are. However, spiritual path requires understanding, and understanding is not enough. Achievements are limited, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages anyway.
But in the end, we reach the same destination through different paths.
But this is for people who are qualified to reach that realm. If they can’t reach that realm, then don’t talk about it.
"yes."
Without this foundation, Luo Xing would not have the confidence to carry out this plan.
"It's hard to freeze, and it's even harder to maintain, so I need your help." Luo Xing asked Ning Yurou to find the four girls and reveal their identities. They were definitely not looking for trouble.
"Master Marquis, please tell me, we will all obey your orders." The four women said in unison. They were originally from Nanya, and obeying orders is what they should do.
"Also, I have designed a jade spirit talisman array, which can maintain the frozen state after the entrance of the frozen river is unattended, without the need for maintenance at any time. I need you to help me put these The talisman is inserted into the position I need, and I can't make a mistake." Luo Xing had already gone down to the entrance of the river to inspect the terrain. According to the terrain, he designed the talisman array to maintain the ice, but it would be too difficult for him to complete this work alone. , but it would be different if someone helped. In order not to attract attention, he knew that his garden had already been targeted. Hongying and the others would be targeted as long as they went out. It was really inconvenient, so he could only use this method. , asked Ning Yurou’s men for help.
The painting boat left the port, just in time to pass by the entrance of the river. At this time, he quietly entered the water and laid out the Jade Spirit Talisman without anyone noticing.
As for the water nature, Luo Xing already understood it. These four women were all very watery people. With his help, they could complete the task in a very short time.
"There are one hundred and eight jade talismans in total. You each have 20. I will go down with the remaining eight in person. Remember, you must go in deeply to prevent the water from bringing out the jade talismans. Once the position is reached, If you move, the effect of the talisman array will be greatly reduced!" Luo Xing took out the 108 jade spirit talismans that he had worked hard on for the past two days and distributed them to the girls.
Then he took out an underwater terrain map that he drew himself. The one hundred and eight red dots on it were the locations where the Jade Spirit Talisman was to be planted, and then distributed them according to people so that they could remember their dots.
"Once you plant the jade spirit talisman, I will start the test. If there is an accident, you can quickly adjust it to ensure that it is foolproof. Now go back and prepare. I will inform you when the boat arrives at the location." Luo Xing ordered. .
"yes."
"Yu Rou, you go to see those people tonight as Jiang Yurong, the daughter of Jiang Chaosheng. I will arrange for brothers Xiong Da and Xiong Er to protect you. They are both at the top of the second level. Even if something happens, they can guarantee you Safe." Luo Xing said.
He has been in Yangzhou for too short a time, and he cannot be sure whether the Jinyiwei are aware of it. Anyway, what he is doing now is to fight fast and capture Yangzhou City as quickly as possible. As for those Jinyiwei or inner guards, as long as they are still in Yangzhou In the city, we can slowly clean up.
"I know, but what about your safety, Lord Marquis?"
"Although I only have a third-level cultivation, there is no opponent below the first-level. Besides, how do you know that I don't have a first-level master?" Luo Xing laughed.
He now has three first-level masters under his command, but they are all from Tianlan Sect and cannot let them know too many secrets of Nanya. Therefore, Xiong Daxiong Er can only be asked to come over to protect Ning Yurou's safety.
He could walk sideways in Yangzhou City with three first-grade people. He didn't have to worry about safety. Unless he encountered Chaofan, there was nothing to worry about.
"Yu Rou understands."
"When we arrive at the garden in a while, I will introduce you to Hongying. She is also my woman. She is not as old as you, but she got started before you." Luo Xing explained.
"Is that Lady Aru?" Yurou's beautiful eyes blinked slightly and asked.
"Yes, she practices Hunyuan Gong like you, and her understanding is deeper than yours. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her for more advice."
"I understand, Yurou must ask Sister Hong for advice." Yurou nodded. She had just started and had to adjust her position.
"Is your guard captain reliable?"
"He is also from the secret camp and has been following me for many years. There should be no problem." Ning Yurou nodded.
"He doesn't have any thoughts about you?"
"I don't know about this, but he seems to like running into Yingying's room." Ning Yurou laughed.
"If I am reliable, I can be as beautiful as a man." Luo Xing nodded.
"Then I'd like to thank the Marquis on Yingying's behalf." Ning Yurou said hurriedly. People like them don't have any freedom in marriage. Once assigned by the superiors, you have to obey even if you don't obey. Otherwise, the consequences of betraying the organization will be quite miserable.
Of course, the superiors will also consider my wishes, especially at her level. They will only consider it, but it is actually an order.
Jiang Yunjing and Yingying are on good terms. They are both affiliated with Nanya, so there are no obstacles to their union. But if there is a need, they will be separated. After all, Yingying is a woman, and her advantages are too obvious. Once she is valued by something, If you like the goal, it goes without saying that you have to obey the overall situation.
"Among them, if I can fulfill this mission after this mission, I will try my best to fulfill them." Luo Xing added.
"Master Hou is really considerate of his subordinates. Yurou thanked them on their behalf."
"I am not a heartless person, Yu Rou. If you treat me sincerely, I will naturally treat you sincerely. I hope you will not let down my sincerity."
"Yurou is already one of the Marquis's, so of course she won't, and she doesn't dare to have second thoughts." Ning Yurou leaned into Luo Xing's arms and confessed tenderly and affectionately.
