"I've met the princess." Luo Junyao opened the door and stepped into an inconspicuous residence in the city. There were three people waiting inside.
One of them was Dieying, and the other two were spies under the Miziying camp. They entered Jianling City before Luo Junyao and Dieying.
Seeing the three of them, Luo Junyao smiled and said, "You guys came back before me. How's it going?"
Duiying said: "I'm afraid it's not good."
"How do you say that?" Luo Junyao asked with a frown.
She knew that Duiying's character would not speak freely, and since he couldn't say it well, it probably wasn't very good.
Duoying glanced at the person standing next to him, and the ordinary-looking young man cupped his hands and said: "Back to the princess, we got news that the Gaoyu people have a very important job in Jianling City. He Ruomu has been working hard these days.
I’ve already contacted Xizuo, I’m afraid it’s a big deal.”
Hearing this, Luo Junyao's expression became a little more solemn.
"Any clues?"
The two spies shook their heads in shame. Their activity location was not in Jianling, and they only arrived a few days earlier than Luo Junyao and Dieying.
We have tried our best to get such information, and there are no more clues.
Luo Junyao also knew that they were not to blame, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, since the Gaoyu people haven't taken action yet, it means that He Ruomuti's goal has not been achieved. Be careful these two days, and I will also tell General Jiang Yan to be careful.
.As long as these three days pass safely, the rest will be easy."
"Yes, Princess." The two of them responded respectfully.
The two spies each had their own place to stay and had things to do, so they both left after a while.
Die Ying and Luo Junyao were left in the small courtyard. Luo Junyao looked at Die Ying and said, "Is the Zhenguo Army doing something good in Gao Yu's army?" Some of the information is not known to the people under Wu Yi's command. It must be with Gao Yu's upper class.
Some connections.
Duoying nodded and said: "Yes, but there is a big difference between Gaoyu people and Central Plains people. It is difficult for our people to get close to the real Gaoyu core decision-making level, and Gaoyu people..."
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
Even if Xu Yi is bribed with money and huge profits are offered, the people of Gaoyu cannot believe it all.
In addition, the population of Gaoyu is sparse, so the various power structures in the royal city are not large and complex, and the slightest movement can easily arouse suspicion. Therefore, every detail inserted into Gaoyu is extremely important.
Luo Junyao thought for a while and said: "The most urgent thing for He Ruomuti now is to open the gate of Jianling City, but this is difficult to do with ordinary meticulous work."
The overlapping shadow said: "The princess suspects that Xizuo is in the army?"
Luo Junyao said: "Moreover, it should be the place closest to the power of the Jianling garrison. At the worst, it should be able to come into contact with people who can influence the Jianling garrison."
"What are your plans, Princess?" Dieying looked at Luo Junyao and asked worriedly.
Their little princess is very capable and has many ideas.
Before coming to build the mausoleum this time, she firmly rejected the prince's proposal to invite Mr. Qu to accompany him. Although the princess was more than able to protect herself, she was afraid that she might have any adventurous ideas.
Before setting off, the prince repeatedly warned him to keep an eye on the princess. But looking at the princess's appearance, Duiying didn't have much hope.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I do have some ideas."
"Princess, please give me instructions."
"Tell me, what is the closest place to the center of power in Jianling City now?"
In the evening, a girl came outside the gate of the General's Mansion in the city.
The girl was wearing a light blue dress and had a delicate and beautiful appearance. She smiled sweetly at people and made people feel soft.
After learning that she came to see General Jiang Yan, the guards at the General's Mansion graciously agreed to help her go in and file a complaint.
Jiang Yan was awakened by a knock on the door. Hearing from the steward of the General's Mansion that a girl claiming to be his cousin was looking for him outside, Jiang Yan was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing.
He got up and got out of bed, opened the door, and said to the steward standing in front of him: "She is right, please ask her to come in."
The steward was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "General Jiang, is this really your cousin?"
That expression obviously said, why is your cousin alone in Jianling City?
Jiang Yan said calmly: "She was stranded in the city because of the war. She didn't know that I was in Jianling. I met her on the street this morning. I was too tired and told her to come to the General's Mansion to find me in the afternoon. It's me.
I forgot to tell you when I came back."
The steward nodded and quickly went to invite the guests in.
Luo Junyao was successfully invited to the lobby of the General's Mansion. While drinking tea, he looked at the entire lobby with great interest.
It was only when she was preparing to come to Jianling that she found out that Marquis Yueyang, the guard of Jianling City, was the father of Jiang Che, one of A Cheng's companions.
She has met Mrs. Yueyang Hou several times. She is a dignified and skillful woman.
It's just that Marquis Yueyang is stationed in Yanzhou all year round, but Jiang Che and his mother and son stay in Shangyong. The husband and wife spend less time together and stay apart more. But Mrs. Yueyanghou does not feel sorry for herself. Instead, she supports the entire Marquis Yueyang Mansion by herself, bringing Jiang Che to the throne.
Che also teaches very well and is a typical good wife and mother.
"I heard there are guests coming?" A woman's soft voice came from outside the door.
Luo Jun shook his head and looked outside, and saw a woman in light red clothes walking in with a slender girl.
The woman is in her twenties, looks beautiful and frail, and looks a bit weak.
Such beauties are indeed rare in the North.
Luo Junyao looked at the woman curiously, and the woman was naturally looking at her too.
Seeing Luo Junyao's soft face, the woman's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "What a beautiful girl. I heard that she is General Jiang's cousin?"
Luo Junyao stood up and said curiously: "Exactly, I wonder who this... madam is?" Regardless of the woman's age or dress, she showed that she was not a girl in a boudoir.
The girl holding the woman next to her said: "This is the wife of the General's Mansion, and she is also the mistress of this mansion."
Luo Junyao was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that this was Jiang Guanmu's concubine.
only……
Even if Mrs. Yueyang Hou is far away in Shangyong now, there is no reason to allow a concubine to treat herself as the mistress.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Is this woman proud of herself, or is Jiang Guanmu letting it go?
Thinking of A Cheng's occasional mention of Jiang Che missing his father, and the rare two conversations with Mrs. Yueyang Hou, Luo Junyao felt a little unworthy of the mother and son.
In this era, it was not uncommon for generals who were far away from the border to take concubines, but when they treated their concubines as regular wives, where did they leave the wives who took care of the house, raised children, and were filial to their elders?
"It turns out it's Mrs. Yueyang Hou. I'm disrespectful." Luo Junyao said without showing his face, smiling and cupping his hands: "My surname is Gu, Gu Yao." As long as the vest is not damaged, you can continue to wear it.
When the woman heard Mrs. Yueyang Hou's words, she couldn't help showing a bit of joy and shyness on her face, "It's Miss Gu, please sit down. Miss Gu is General Jiang's cousin? General Jiang has been here at Jianling for several days. Miss
Why did you come here today? Where have you been staying these past few days? Are you scared?"
Luo Junyao said: "Thank you madam for your concern. I was not feeling well and delayed leaving the city, so I was trapped in the city. I didn't know that my cousin came to Jianling. It happened that my family saw my cousin coming down from the city tower, and then they found out.
"I met my cousin in the morning. I saw that he was very tired, so I wanted to visit him again in the afternoon."
"General Jiang didn't know that the girl was building a mausoleum before?" the woman asked.
Luo Junyao was a little embarrassed, "My family lives in Dongzhou, and my cousin lives in Yanzhou all year round. It has been several years since I saw him, and I almost didn't recognize him in the morning. I originally passed by Jianling with my brother, and the Gaoyu people attacked the city.
My brother happened to be out of town on something that day, and now I'm afraid he's trying to find a way to contact my cousin to save me. I don't know if he knows that my cousin has come to Jianling. If he knows, he will probably feel at ease."
Seeing her eyebrows slightly furrowed and her worried and lonely look on her face, the woman felt a little embarrassed to ask further.
Such a little girl who looks only fifteen or sixteen years old really doesn't look like someone with ulterior motives.
"The girl said her surname is Gu, does it have anything to do with the Gu family in Dongzhou?" the girl standing next to the woman suddenly asked.
Luo Junyao raised his head and glanced at her, with a happy and somewhat proud smile on his face, "Madam, have you heard of the Dongzhou Gu family in Jianling?"
The woman smiled and said nothing. How had she ever heard of the Dongzhou Gu family?
But judging from the girl's appearance and the meaning behind her words, she must be from a prominent local family in Dongzhou, right?
"Of course I've heard of the Gu family in Dongzhou." The woman said softly, "I didn't know that General Jiang and the Gu family were also related by marriage."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "My cousin's ancestral home is the Jiang family in Luzhou. My grandmother and his grandmother are biological sisters."
"I see."
"Ahem." Jiang Yan stood outside the door with a stiff expression. Did he just come a little late and he has already become the cousin of the Princess Regent?
Oh, no, he is the cousin of Miss Gu’s family in Dongzhou.
The key point is that they didn't agree with each other in advance, and the princess made it up quite smoothly.
He was indeed born in the Jiang family of Luzhou, but his family was only a branch of the Jiang family, so there was no way he was related by marriage to the Gu family in Dongzhou.
The way this princess talks eloquently makes her a suitable spy. Anyway, now that Jianling Mausoleum is under siege, no one can know the truth.
"Cousin, you're here!" Seeing Jiang Yan standing at the door, Luo Junyao stood up and smiled without any guilt.
Jiang Yan nodded stiffly and said, "Why... why are you here alone? Send someone to send a message and I'll pick you up."
Luo Junyao said: "I am not alone. There is some chaos in the city now. Ah Ying is guarding our luggage. Why don't we bring all our luggage to join my cousin?"
Jiang Yan immediately understood what she meant, "It's not safe for a girl like you to live outside even if there is... Ah Ying, why don't you live in the general's house. If something happens to you, I can't tell my aunt."
Please tell me, Mrs. Jiang, can I arrange two rooms for my roommate?"
Naturally, the woman would not refuse. She nodded quickly and said, "Of course you can. I'll let someone arrange it right now."
"Thank you ma'am."
"The general is serious. The general's mansion is a big place. What does it matter if there are two more people?" The woman looked at the two of them, stood up and said with a smile: "The general and Miss Gu are reunited after a long separation, so I won't disturb you two. I'll let people go.
Prepare the yard for the girl, and send someone to pick up the other guests later."
Jiang Yandao: "I don't dare to work too hard for you, Madam. I'll just send someone there."
"That's fine." After the woman excused herself from the two of them, she led the others out.
Seeing the person walking away, Luo Junyao looked carefully to make sure there was no one around, then smiled at Jiang Yan and said, "Cousin, please give me more advice in the future."
Jiang Yan helplessly raised his forehead, "Wang..."
"Wang, my surname is Gu, Gu Yao."
"Gu Yao, why are you here?" Jiang Yan lowered his voice.
Luo Junyao came closer and whispered: "We suspect that there is something going on in the General's Mansion. Come and have a look. Cousin, don't worry, I won't affect you."
Jiang Yan said: "Now is the critical moment. We cannot start civil strife by ourselves." The princess suspected that there was someone from Gao Yu working in the general's mansion.
It's not impossible. After all, the people of Gaoyu have been coveting Yanzhou for a day or two. But at this time, if you accidentally fail to find out through careful investigation, you will cause internal discord within yourself.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Jiang Yan nodded. Although he didn't know what the princess was capable of, since the prince allowed her to come, she wouldn't be willful.
It has to be said that the entire Zhenguo Army still has a bit of blind trust in Xie Yan.
After all, the hall was not a place for talking, so Jiang Yan led Luo Junyao to his yard.
Luo Junyao looked at the entire General's Mansion as he walked. Although the war was tense now, the General's Mansion was still peaceful and peaceful. The servants in the mansion also did their own thing, and everything was in order.
"Cousin, that lady just now... wasn't Mrs. Yueyang Hou, was she?"
Jiang Yan glanced at her and said, "Of course not. Don't you know that Mrs. Yueyang Hou is in the capital?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Jun said: "I mean, who is she?"
"She is the concubine of Marquis Yueyang in Yanzhou. It is said that her surname is Han, and her family is from the south of the Yangtze River who was sent to Yanzhou in the early years." Jiang Yan said.
He doesn't like to inquire into other people's private affairs. He only knows these things from the people around him.
After all, Mrs. Han acted like a hostess in the Yueyang Marquis Mansion, and it was said that the officials and generals in Yanzhou treated her like the royal wife.
This was still a bit novel for the officers and soldiers of the Zhenguo Army who did not have much contact with Yanzhou officialdom. However, the people in the General's Mansion seemed accustomed to it, and no one thought there was anything wrong.
"That's it." Luo Junyao murmured.
"If the princess doesn't like her, just stay away from her. Marquis Yueyang loves her very much, and she even gave birth to twin children for Marquis Yueyang. It is not appropriate for us to have a conflict with Marquis Yueyang at this time."
Jiang Yan thought that the princess probably didn't like Marquis Yueyang's behavior of treating his concubine as his wife. Princess Yong might also know Mrs. Marquis Yueyang.
But now is the time to fight the enemy together, and it is really inappropriate for them to have conflicts with Marquis Yueyang.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know."
She really didn't like Jiang Guanmu's behavior, but she didn't ignore the reality and beat people up if she caught them.
In this world, no one can control Jiang Guanmu if he wants to take a concubine, but the behavior of taking a concubine as a wife is not tolerated by etiquette and law. No one in Yanzhou's official circles has ever impeached him. It is obvious that Jiang Guanmu is quite popular.
How this matter goes depends on Mrs. Yueyang Hou and Jiang Che.
She admired Jiang Guanmu's loyalty in refusing Wu Yi and He Ruomuti's persuasion to surrender and insisting on defending the city, but she did not like Jiang Guanmu as a person.
