She Yue's back was sweating, and she said in a cold voice: "You said that the pen officials in the court are full of tricks, but your insidiousness is not inferior to others." She clenched her fists and said: "If he refuses to return to Beijing, do you want to

Is it possible to force him to rebel?"

"Although he is at the border, Taishi Hong is in Kyoto." Tantai Xuanye said solemnly: "I have also transferred people from Ziyi Supervisor to Ye County, where the Taishi clan is located, to keep an eye on the entire Taishi clan. Ziyi Supervisor

Those people will also deliberately reveal their whereabouts in Ye County."

"Are you deliberately letting Taishi Cunxu know that you have controlled the Taishi people?"

"That's right." Tantai Xuanye said: "So if he dares to rebel, he will not only be disloyal to the Tang Dynasty, but also unfilial to the Taishi clan." He sneered and said, "I really want to know how he will choose."

She Yue closed her eyes, feeling more and more sinister and terrifying about this person.

"Yes, there is one more thing to report to Your Highness." Tantai Xuanye said: "Ye Chaoxuan rebelled in Xuzhou, and the Ministry of War has dispatched troops to encircle and suppress it. At present, two troops from Yanzhou and Yuzhou have entered Xuzhou, and troops from the three states in the south of the Yangtze River have been dispatched.

The soldiers and horses have been rewarded today, and they have already sent troops to Xuzhou."

She Yue was under house arrest in the palace, so she was naturally unclear about many things outside. She was a little surprised and asked: "You are sending troops from the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Four thousand soldiers and horses from the three states in the south of the Yangtze River belong to the commander-in-chief of the eldest son Yuanxin." Tantai Xuanye said: "In addition, a decree has been issued to confer the title of eldest son Yuanxin as a fourth-grade strong military general to control the troops and horses in the south of the Yangtze River. And this

In the battle to pacify Xuzhou for the first time, the soldiers and horses of all states will also be led by Changsun Yuanxin."

She Yue stood up abruptly, her pretty face looking astonished.

"Your Highness is surprised?"

She Yue frowned and said, "Could it be that... he is also yours?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood." Tantai Xuanye smiled lightly and said: "The eldest grandson Yuanxin is still loyal to Your Highness. It was Your Highness who recommended him to lead the Hangzhou Camp. This man values ​​love and righteousness, and his kindness to Your Highness will never be forgotten.

"

"and you....?"

"The eldest grandson Yuanxin is very brave and can lead troops well. If he can be reused, he will definitely make great achievements." Tantai Xuanye said: "With his ability, it is really easy to quell the chaos in Xuzhou. Is your highness wondering why your ministers did this?

Reuse him?"

She Yue said: "I really didn't expect it."

"The reason is very simple, because the eldest grandson Meier is still in the palace." Tantai Xuanye said: "The eldest grandson Yuanxin values ​​friendship, so he also cares about his sister who is in the palace."

She Yue understood instantly and said: "Are you using Changsun Mei as a hostage to force Changsun Yuanxin to be used by you?"

"It's impossible to talk about." Tantai Xuanye shook his head and said: "Changsun Mei has been in the palace for many years and has been serving the saint. If you say she is a hostage, then when she entered the palace, she had already become a hostage in the hands of the saint. As for Changsun

Yuan Xin, let alone being coerced by me. He is a soldier, and the biggest dream of a soldier is to make contributions and leave a name in history. Your Highness thinks highly of him and handed the Hangzhou Camp into his hands. You think you have done him a favor.

, but His Highness’s move just trapped him.”

She Yue slowly sat down again, thoughtfully.

"Using him to lead the Hangzhou camp would be killing a chicken with a dagger?" Tantai Xuanye said slowly: "Now that he has been given a place to use his talents, he can make contributions and become famous. No soldier with some ambition will give him such an opportunity.

miss."

She Yue saw Tantai Xuanye turning his hands into a cloud, and was filled with anger, but at this moment, he was unable to stop it. A feeling of powerlessness enveloped his whole body, and he waved his hand and said: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, you can leave!"

Tantai Xuanye didn't waste any words, bowed his hands and bowed before retreating.

Seeing that Tantai Xuanye had retreated, She Yue stood up and walked to the window. The courtyard was covered with fallen dead leaves. She looked solemnly and looked at the yellow leaves everywhere, her eyes not leaving for a long time.

Qin Xiao, who was far away in western Liaoning, could not leave his eyes for a long time at this moment.

After settling the affairs on Penglai Island, Qin Xiao said goodbye to Zhuque and led the Taihu navy back to western Liaoning.

Returning to western Liaoning this time was much more beautiful than when going to Penglai Island. Not only were dozens of boats from the Taihu Navy, but also 600 dragon-scale forbidden troops came to western Liaoning.

After landing at Ninghua Port, Qin Xiao ordered Tu Kuohai to lead the navy to temporarily station at another beach more than 20 miles away from Ninghua Port.

To develop the navy, we must first build garrison ports. This is a top priority and cannot be delayed.

However, to build a military port, it is not possible to build it just by talking about it. There are many aspects involved, so Qin Xiao can only return to Guangning to convene his officials to discuss the specific details and steps.

Fortunately, Tu Kuohai's sailors had been cruising on the sea for a long time, and Tu Kuohai was a first-class naval general who was skilled in water affairs, so it was not difficult to temporarily stay on the beach.

Moreover, Tu Kuohai also prepared sufficient food, so there was no need to worry about lack of logistics in a short period of time.

The Dragon Scale Forbidden Army was going to Guangning for reorganization. In fact, after landing at Ninghua Port, many of the Forbidden Army were still worried and didn't know what they would face next.

However, Qin Xiao is an important minister favored by the saint, and has been awarded the title of Champion General, wielding the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army. Everyone is thinking that no matter what, there should be no future for following such an important minister.

More than a month has passed since the trip to and from Penglai Island. Qin Xiao was anxious to return to Guangning, but Ninghua Port naturally did not have enough horses, so Qin Xiao could only ask Jiang Rui, the officer of the Haibo Division of Ninghua Port, to arrive as soon as possible.

A batch of dry food was collected at the port and distributed to the Praetorian Guards.

He left Fire Crow and Black Bat behind, and asked Jiang Rui to send several petty officials, with Fire Crow and Black Bat as guides, to lead the Imperial Guards to Guangning on foot day and night.

He asked Jiang Rui to find a horse, while he rode alone and returned to Guangning as quickly as possible.

The imperial edict was issued in Kyoto and She Yue was to marry Tantai Xuanye. This was of course something Qin Xiao could not accept.

At one point, he even prepared to go directly from Horai Island to Kyoto.

But after calming down, I knew that if I rushed to Kyoto in a hurry, I would undoubtedly be a moth flying into the flame.

Zhuque was right. Since Tantai Xuanye dared to issue the edict to the world with great fanfare, he must have been fully prepared. Even when the edict was issued, he had already laid a trap in Kyoto. At this time, he went to Tantai.

Hanging in the night.

Moreover, the life and death of everyone in Long Rui's army depends on his own life. If he ignores these people and only acts based on his own whim, he will really be unworthy of these brothers.

He was in a bad mood along the way. After leaving Penglai Island, he just wanted to fly back to Guangning and gather his men to discuss countermeasures.

When we arrived at Guangning City, it was already late at night. When we entered the city, we saw that it was Colonel Chu Hua who was in charge of the city gate tonight. He did not hesitate and named some officials, and asked Chu Hua to send someone to summon everyone immediately.

After receiving the summons, he went directly to the General's Mansion to gather for discussion.

He knew that Yuwen Chengchao and other generals were probably in the barracks outside the city, so Chu Hua also sent people to the barracks to convey information.

It was already midnight, Qin Xiaoxun thought, and everyone else had arrived at the General's Mansion, at least until dawn. During this time, he could only wait while he returned to the General's Mansion, so he simply rode his horse directly to Sister Rong's pawn shop.

When they parted last time, Qin Xiao was naturally excited when he learned that Sister Rong was pregnant. However, he had a promise to Zhuque, so he could only part ways temporarily.

When I return to the city now, I want to be the first to see Sister Rong.

When we arrived at the pawnshop, everything was familiar. After the people in the pawnshop reported, Qin Xiao entered the secret door. After a while, he saw Sister Rong coming out wearing a robe, no makeup, and her face was bare.

Elegant and refined, it seems that he has just woken up.

"Did it wake you up?" Qin Xiao saw Tang Rong coming and immediately stepped forward to help Sister Rong.

Seeing Qin Xiao's tired look, Tang Rong said softly: "Have you just come back? Haven't you eaten yet?" She turned around and pulled a thin rope by the wall, and heard a "ding ding ding ding

After a few "ding" sounds, Sister Rong came over and said, "You do it first, and I'll ask them to prepare a supper for you."

Qin Xiao held Tang Rong's arm and helped her sit down. At this time, he stared at her abdomen. Although it was not obvious yet, he could still vaguely see a slight bulge. He said softly: "I just entered the city. I didn't expect you to be here so late."

Maybe I fell asleep and planned to come back tomorrow. I was just worried that there would be more things to do tomorrow and I couldn't spare the time, so I rushed here overnight."

He sat down next to Tang Rong and stared at Sister Rong's abdomen without looking away for a long time.

Tang Rong saw it in her eyes, with a gentle smile on her lips, poured a cup of tea for Qin Xiao, and said softly: "What are you looking at? You can't tell it clearly yet."

"I know, I just miss her all the time."

"Do you miss him? Or do you miss me?"

"I want to do it all." Qin Xiao held Sister Rong's catkins in his hands and said, "After landing, I will not stop. I can't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly to you."

Tang Rong smiled sweetly and said: "Look at how stupid you are. You can't see him even if you fly back. It's still early." Then she asked: "How is the situation on Penglai Island?"

Qin Xiao immediately spoke concisely, not going into details that should be concealed, but making the general situation very clear, and finally said: "I never expected that the Taoist Aunt Luo Yue I met in Hangzhou was actually the Queen Mother Society.

Haotian. However, she is now staying on Penglai Island, and Fairy Suzaku is keeping an eye on her, so nothing will happen yet."

"It's a big trouble after all." Tang Rong sighed softly: "You said it was Qingzhou Haotian who awakened her memory and made her the Haotian she is now. Qingzhou Haotian worked hard and spent so many years cultivating her.

A new Haotian has emerged, and now Suzaku has temporarily sealed the Haotian personality in Luo Yue, but that doesn't mean that Haotian will not wake up again, and Qingzhou Haotian will not give up, and will definitely try his best to revive Haotian." He frowned.

Said: "To get rid of this big trouble, the best way is to kill her."

Qin Xiaodao: "Luo Yue is a member of Tianzhai after all. How to deal with it is still decided by Tianzhai. Sister Rong, what surprises me the most is that Qianye Manluo originated from Qingzhou Haotian." He leaned forward,

He lowered his voice and said: "The methods of Qingzhou Haotian and Mr. Da are almost exactly the same. They both refined the poison of Qianye Manluo and used it to control their subordinates. Before, I always thought that the cold poison in my body must be the same as Mr. Da's.

It was related, but Qingzhou Haotian suddenly popped up, which made me unsure."

"Do you think Qingzhou Haotian might be the one who poisoned you?"

"Yes!" Qin Xiao nodded and said: "This suspicion cannot be ruled out. I have always wanted to find out who Mr. Da is, and I also want to find out who Haotian is. Now I know that Haotian is Luo Yue, but in her case

There is Qingzhou Haotian behind the scenes. Qingzhou Haotian and Mr. Da are equally mysterious. I have been thinking about it for a long time and even doubted whether Mr. Da and Haotian are the same person?"
