213 The Traitor, Chen Hong
Listening to Yi Yao's words, Zhi Hua didn't know what he was thinking. Finally, he looked out the window and said, "Yao Yao, if you are ready, tell mother. Mother also needs to prepare in advance."
Yi Yao hugged Zhi Hua's arm and nodded, smiling: "I knew my mother was the best to me."
Zhihua stroked Yi Yao's head, but said in his heart: "Yao Yao, don't blame mother, mother is also doing it for your own good."
...
Quiet as a palace.
Ye Wanqiu stood in front of the window, looking at the darkening sky, his expression a little solemn.
She also received the news from Nanyang.
And there are rumors circulating that Gao Fen's death in battle is related to Chen Hong.
It was Chen Hong who did not join Gao Fen as soon as possible and did not provide timely support that led to Gao Fen's death in battle.
This made Ye Wanqiu worried.
After all, Gao Fen's father, Gao Qiu, had great influence in the court and was on the same side as Prime Minister Cai Si. If they thought so, it would definitely be detrimental to Chen Hong.
Unfortunately, Ye Wanqiu couldn't help him.
"Sister Wanqiu, come quickly. Qingshuang is tired. One of the three is missing. You can take my place." Concubine Yu's voice sounded from behind Ye Wanqiu.
"Here we come." Ye Wanqiu replied.
These days, Concubine Yu comes to Ye Wanqiu's place to play cards every day. Sometimes she plays cards late and stays directly in Ye Wanqiu's palace, sleeping on the same bed as Ye Wanqiu.
Because of this reason, the relationship between them gradually warmed up, and the barriers between them were eliminated little by little.
Although they are not as close as sisters, they can still talk to each other about their concerns.
Ye Wanqiu stretched out her hand out of the window and looked at the full moon in the sky. With her affectionate eyes, it was as if the full moon was transformed by Chen Mo.
"are you thinking of me?"
...
...
Tianhe City, the backyard of Luofu.
"Sir, I... I can't do it any more. It's my turn to take care of Sister Miaozhen."
Luo Zhen hugged Chen Mo's neck and scratched scars on his back with her long nails.
She felt like she had been to heaven and seen hell.
At this moment, she was dripping with sweat. She seemed to have no strength left in her body and just wanted to sleep. Even saying these words seemed to take a lot of effort.
Hearing this, Xu Miaozhen, who was lying on the side of the bed, turned red.
She glanced secretly and happened to meet Chen Mo's eyes. Xu Miaozhen quickly dodged.
Chen Mo let go of Luo Zhen, grabbed Xu Miaozhen's little hand, and pulled her into his arms.
"Are you still afraid of me?" Chen Mo pinched Xu Miaozhen's chin and asked her to face him.
Xu Miaozhen was too nervous to speak.
Chen Mo touched her lips. Compared with Luo Zhen, Xu Miaozhen's lips were thicker. No, it shouldn't be described as thick. It should be plump. The lips were bright and red, and they were obviously rouged. She looked like she had suffered a lot.
Like a little aggrieved woman, her eyes are full of spring water.
She wears a relatively commoner skirt that outlines her figure with narrow shoulders and round hips.
Chen Mo couldn't hold back any longer and lowered his head to taste the beauty's lips.
The candle flame also went out at this moment.
There was no wind or fire in the yard, and it was silent. There seemed to be no movement, but faintly faint humming could be heard.
...
...
One of the officials transferred from other counties was sent to Tianhe City.
The county magistrate of Hecheng today.
But soon he discovered that all the low-level officials in Tianhe City were Chen Hong's people.
The county magistrate's name is Wang Ya, and he also has some ambitions in his mind, like showing some punches and kicks after coming to Tianhe City, but now, he has no other punches and kicks to use.
The lower-level officials are all Chen Hong's people.
In other words, no matter what you want to do, you can't bypass Chen Hong.
He even thought that if Chen Hong was dissatisfied with what he wanted to do, he would not be able to mobilize anyone.
In a word, his rights were emptied out.
His county magistrate is just a title.
He had no choice but to start with the common people.
But he found that even the people of Tianhe City were turning towards Chen Hong.
"The morale of the military and the people has been restored. Even if you stretch your hand so long, you won't be afraid of breaking it."
Wang Ya's face was filled with uncertainty.
...
The backyard of Luofu.
Chen Mo lay on Luo Zhen's lap, enjoying Luo Zhen's massage while holding Xu Miaozhen's hands in his and playing with them gently.
There is a saying that Xu Miaozhen's hands are not as beautiful as Luo Zhen's hands, and there are calluses on them, but this does not affect Chen Mo's love for her at all.
"Come on, baby, give me a kiss."
It was a hot day and there was no fighting. Chen Mo, who was in the gentle countryside, suddenly thought about what he had done during the day, and immediately took Xu Miaozhen's hand and pulled it into his arms.
Xu Miaozhen immediately fell on Chen Mo.
Her face suddenly turned red.
Chen Mo kissed her lips and was about to peel off the eggshell.
Xiaocui walked over and said, "Sir, Master Wang is here."
"Wang Ya?" Chen Mo frowned.
Xiao Cui nodded.
"You two stand down first," Chen Mo said to Luo Zhen and Xu Miaozhen.
After they retreated, Chen Mo just said to Xiaocui: "Bring him here."
"promise."
...
Soon, a thin young man with a somewhat bookish air came to Chen Mo.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, what kind of wind brought you here?" Chen Mo was lying on the wicker chair made by the carpenter, looking at Wang Ya, without even the intention of getting up.
Wang Ya frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "General Chen, I heard of the general's reputation when I was in Nanjun. Now when I came to Tianhe City, I learned that the general was also in the city. Due to both emotion and reason, I want to Come and pay homage to the general, and take a look at the general’s style.”
"No, Mr. Wang is so polite." Chen Mo stood up and said to Xiao Cui: "Give me a seat."
"Thank you, General Chen." Wang Ya bowed his hand to Chen Mo.
The two chatted for a few more words.
Seeing Wang Ya always doing Tai Chi, Chen Mo frowned.
He is not an official, so how could he do this?
I started asking straight to the point.
Then Wang Ya talked about the appointment and removal of officials.
"Oh, so that's what Mr. Wang said." Chen Mo looked stunned, and then promoted Fu Bi, saying: "Sir Wang, you don't know that this Fu Bi is a pillar of the Tianhe City. So settling down so quickly is all due to him. With him as your assistant, Mr. Wang will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when doing things in the future."
Wang Ya frowned, am I telling you this again? He immediately said: "General Chen, that's not what I mean. The appointment and dismissal of officials in various places are decided by the imperial court. Fu Bi, the county magistrate, is a bit out of line."
Wang Ya is from Zeiss.
In fact, those who can be transferred to Nanyang are the result of the "fight" between several factions in the imperial court. Otherwise, people without backgrounds will not be able to come to Nanyang to serve as officials.
Chen Mo also frowned, this guy wants to go against me.
Don’t you know what I mean by this is for you to turn a blind eye?
Chen Mo smiled and said: "Master Wang, don't worry about this. I have already submitted a letter to the court, and there should be a document coming down soon."
