After listening to Murong Yuliang's analysis, Murong Hui sat on the chair and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he spoke again:
"According to what my second uncle said, Governor Ye is really not the choice of our family..."
Murong Yuliang sighed and nodded and said:
"That's right, if Ye Mingsheng can dominate the world, then our family will never have the glory it has now!"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Hui shook his head and said:
"When I was still in Sichuan and Sichuan, my father told me to express my Murong family's goodwill to Governor Ye, but now it seems that it is not necessary!"
Seeing Murong Hui's disappointed look, Murong Yuliang admonished:
"Don't make a decision so easily. If we want to keep the family going, what we need to do is always stand on the side of the winner. No matter how tempting the conditions of the loser are, we can't stand on their side! "
Murong Yuliang's eyes became very complicated when he said this. The deeper he got to know Fengwu Army, the more contradictory he became in his heart. He could feel the vitality and unstoppable momentum of Fengwu Army as a new regime. , which is why he stayed in the Fengwu Army. He firmly believed that the future of the Fengwu Army was limitless.
But at the same time, as a member of the aristocratic family, he also clearly realized that if the Fengwu Army Group led by Ye Mingsheng really rose to power as he expected, then as long as nothing happened to Ye Mingsheng, the loneliness of the aristocratic family would be inevitable. of.
This kind of contradiction made Murong Yuliang very conflicted in his heart. Deep in his heart, he didn't know whether he should hope that Fengwu Army would succeed in taking power...
After restraining his emotions, Murong Yuliang spoke again:
"Don't make a rash decision first. You can stay in Liaoyang for some days and observe the customs and customs of Liaoyang. Since Governor Ye launched those reforms, Liaoyang has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is different from other places in the Zhou Dynasty. There is a big difference, take a look and then I will recommend you to meet with Governor Ye. It is not too late for you to make a decision after meeting him!"
After listening to Murong Yuliang's suggestion, Murong Hui also became curious, wanting to see the difference between Liaoyang and other places in Da Zhou. After thinking about it, he nodded and said:
"Then just listen to my second uncle!"
While Murong Hui and Murong Yuliang were spying in the study, in the residence of the female relatives not far away, Murong Qingwu, who had resumed her women's clothing and wore a white skirt, was sitting quietly by the window reading a book. The slightly yellowed book was clearly printed with the four characters "Confucian Classics".
"Establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the living and the people, establishing unique knowledge for the past saints, and creating peace for all generations. Mr. Zihou is really courageous..."
Looking at the book in her hand, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
Just when Murong Qingwu was searching in the thoughts of Neo-Confucianism, she suddenly remembered the sound of footsteps beside her. The appearance of the footsteps immediately interrupted Murong Qingwu, making her frown slightly, and just before Murong Qingwu When she was about to say something, Ying'er, the personal maid who walked up to her, handed over a note full of horror and said:
"Miss, I just found this under the tree in our yard. Come and take a look!"
Murong Qingwu was a little surprised when these words came out. He took the note and checked it. His eyes just glanced at Murong Qingwu, and his face changed involuntarily. Then he looked at Ying'er and said:
"How did you find this note?"
Facing Murong Qingwu's inquiry, Ying'er said without hesitation:
"I was just getting ready to go out and went to the warehouse to get some incense and candles. When I came back, I happened to see a stone under the big tree in the middle of the yard holding this note. I was curious for a moment, so I walked over, picked up the stone on top, and saw it. This note..."
Murong Qingwu asked seriously:
"Have you told anyone else about the contents of the note? Has anyone else seen you take this note?"
Ying'er shook her head very firmly and said:
"It's so important that I gave it to you as soon as I saw the note. No one else told me, and there didn't seem to be anyone else around at the time!"
"Ying'er, are you sure no one else has seen this note?" Murong Qingwu asked:
Ying'er hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still nodded and said:
"I am sure!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Murong Qingwu's serious expression softened, and then she explained to Ying'er:
'Ying'er, you should know the seriousness of this matter. You can't tell others about this matter without my order! '
"Miss, I understand!" Ying'er nodded obediently.
After instructing Ying'er to step back, Murong Qingwu reopened the note, and there were several large characters on it.
"There is a spy in your family who wants to do harm to you!"
The note only had eleven short words, but it made Murong Qingwu feel uneasy, even though the handwriting on the note was very sloppy and awkward, like it was written by a child who had just learned to write.
But as a world-famous talented woman, Murong Qingwu also has high attainments in calligraphy. She could vaguely see that the other person wrote this deliberately. The person who wrote to her should be left-handed, but in order to hide his identity, he deliberately I write with my right hand, so these eleven characters look so scrawled and awkward...
There are only two possibilities for putting the note in your own yard. The first possibility is that someone is very powerful in qinggong and can put the note into your yard without alerting the generals who are guarding the mansion. Float away.
The second possibility is that someone from the mansion did this!
Compared to the former, Murong Qingwu prefers the latter. After all, she is very aware of the strength of the generals in the house. Those people are either experienced veterans who have retired from the army, or they are bodyguards and knights recruited from the world by their Murong family. , in short, they are all people with high martial arts skills. These people patrol the mansion day and night to protect the safety of the mansion.
To be able to disappear without a trace under the protection of such a group of people, and to place the note in his yard without anyone noticing, is a plot that only martial arts people in the market would write like this.
Talking about the content of the note, the first half of the sentence "There is a spy in your family." In fact, without the reminder of this note, Murong Qingwu knew that there was a spy in his family, and there were more than one, including those from the Coordination Office, the Cui family, and the Yun family. Family, Gongsun family, and maybe even the Supervision Department.
Murong Qingwu, who was born in a wealthy family, is already used to this kind of situation. After all, even if you clear out a group of people, the other party will still persevere and sneak people into your house. After all, that aristocratic family The rich man had hundreds of servants, so how could there not be a few spies among such a large number of people? Only in a family that has completely declined will no one send spies..."
Therefore, what Murong Qingwu cares most about is the second half of the sentence "Desire is not good for you". As she savors this sentence carefully, her mind is filled with the figure of the woman in white that she saw on the mountain of Mingru Temple that day. .
This woman with strong martial arts skills and mysterious origins also reminded herself to pay attention to safety, saying that An Miaoyi was going to harm her and told her not to go out again.
It was under this warning that Murong Qingwu stayed in the mansion for such a long time. She thought she had avoided the limelight, but if this note was really given to her by the white woman, then If what he said was true, then I'm afraid An Miaoyi was completely murderous towards him. She didn't want to let him go even if he was hiding at home, and she would fight to the death with him!
Thinking of this, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but have a strong temptation in her eyes. She and An Miaoyi had lived in the wealthy circle of Luo'an since they were young. They were "close friends", so Murong Qingwu also had feelings for An Miaoyi. She knows a lot about An Miaoyi. In her impression, although An Miaoyi is very strong and stubborn, she will never give up on something she is sure about. She is not a particularly generous and kind-hearted woman with a deep scheming mind.
But An Miaoyi is not so narrow-minded. You have to say that because of the overt and covert fights between them in Luo'an, An Miaoyi was suppressed by herself. She has resentment in her heart and now she has become the wife of the governor, and she wants to show off in front of her. Murong Qingwu believes in humiliating herself and venting her anger, but if you say that she wants to kill herself because of this thing, Murong Qingwu really thinks it is a bit exaggerated, not like What An Miaoyi can do.
If you really want to say that An Miaoyi wants to harm herself, then it's only if you have touched An Miaoyi's taboo!
But I haven't seen her for several years, so how can I touch her taboo?
Could it be that...
As if she realized something, Murong Qingwu's eyes flashed, and then she fell into deep thought. After a stick of incense, she finally made up her mind, walked to the desk, picked up a piece of letter paper, and started writing quickly, After writing, she gently blew the ink on the letter paper that had not yet dried, and then stuffed the letter paper into the envelope. Then she called Ying'er into Le's room, handed the letter to Ying'er and said seriously:
"You go to the Governor's Mansion now and be sure to hand this over to the Governor's wife with your own hands!"
When these words came out, Ying'er was a little surprised and asked tentatively:
"Leave it to An Miaoyi?"
"Um!"
Murong Qingwu smiled and touched Ying'er's head and said:
"Don't be afraid. Just give this to her. If she asks you something, just say you don't know. She won't do anything to you!"
Ying'er plucked up the courage and said:
"I'm not afraid of that bad woman!"
Murong Qingwu laughed a little dumbly when he heard this, and then seriously warned:
"She is the wife of the military governor and the mistress of the Fengwu Army. You must not say this to anyone else!"
"Ying'er knows!"
"Okay, go back quickly. When you come back, I will ask the kitchen to make you some cakes!" Murong Qingwu said with a smile:
"Well! I'll go now, Miss is the best!"
Looking at Ying Er's leaving figure, Murong Qingwu gradually stopped smiling. Since this mysterious woman in white was warning her one after another, she would just know how to An Miaoyi for a while, but she would like to take a look at her. Has Miaoyi made any progress?··················
··························
··························
Ye Mingsheng, who still didn't know that a storm was quietly brewing in his "pond", was currently presiding over a new round of combat meeting of the Fengwu Army in Yi Jing.
Under Ye Mingsheng's instruction, during the period when Ye Mingsheng returned to Dongning, Yuan Song, as the acting frontline commander, stood up and was the first to speak:
"During your return to Dongning, my lord, our army has been attacking everywhere in Youyan. We have conquered seventeen prefectures and counties including Yanmen, Daixian, and Fanyang. We have actually controlled Xinle and Shunping in the Youyan area in the north. , our army’s First Division, Third Division, and Sixth Division are currently stationed around Yijing, while the Second Division is stationed in Guangzong County!”
After listening to Yuan Song's words, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"You are doing a great job, thank you to the soldiers on the front line for their hard work!"
After comforting Yuan Song and other generals, Ye Mingsheng looked at Wang Xuecheng, who was sitting in the back row, and asked:
"How is the work of your Coordination Office doing recently?"
Faced with Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Wang Xuecheng felt a little pressure and immediately stood up to report:
"The Coordination Office has recently cracked down thirteen incidents in which the Yan Army incited rebellion and uprising, assisted the military in annihilating six small groups of the Yan Army that tried to harass our army, and arrested 511 reactionaries who were secretly in contact with the Yan Army. Nineteen people, traced and recovered 270,000 taels of dirty silver..."
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he slightly raised his forehead and said calmly:
"You did a good job too!"
Wang Xuecheng, who was originally very confident in the transcripts he reported, suddenly became very uneasy when he looked at Ye Mingsheng's slightly plain face.
After getting to know Yi Jing's situation after he left, Ye Mingsheng looked at the first one on his left, He Jingyun, the chief of general staff of the Fengwu Army who had just arrived from Dongning not long ago.
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's signal, He Jingyun stood up and said:
"In the past few days, I and the staff of the General Staff have also gone deep into the grassroots level and learned about the situation in various ministries. In view of the current situation, the General Staff believes that our army has achieved great results in the first phase of the battle, which is very gratifying. It's congratulatory, but because Zhao Fuqu gave up the counterattack, the second phase of our army's battle also changed from responding to Zhao Fuqu's counterattack to a strategic stalemate with the Yan army."
"Due to some difficulties in logistical supplies and the need to appease various places, our army is unable to launch a large-scale war in a short period of time. Therefore, the staff believes that our army should change the form of combat, from overall attack to step-by-step encroachment. Step by step, we will compress the strategic space of the Yan Army and not give the Yan Army any chance to breathe..."
