"What's going on?" Wei Changting felt that he was slightly more stimulated tonight.
Leng Shuang looked calm: "The Third Battalion of Secret Words was ordered by the prince to go deep into the vast sea a year ago to explore the nearby terrain. It just completed the mission three months ago and was about to return. At that time, the royal court of the Qi tribe moved westward. I saw
They were looking for beauties everywhere and took the opportunity to get in."
Wei Changting couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "I admire you."
"However, it shouldn't be the Qi people's plan to assassinate the prince today, right? Since Miss Leng has gained their trust, why not just use the plan? If you perform like this today, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?" Wei Changting felt a little regretful.
Leng Shuang shook his head and said: "The Qi people don't donate their beauties to steal information from the prince. They should also know that the beauties donated by the Qi people will not gain the prince's trust in any case. On the contrary, it is easy to be self-defeating. If you use carefully cultivated
The fine work is just a waste of sacrifice, so we only collected some ordinary women with good looks and proficiency in singing and dancing. There may be some fine work from the Qi tribe, but they are not prepared for the prince."
"So, they sincerely presented their beauty to the prince?" Wei Changting asked curiously.
Leng Shuang said: "It is the practice of the Xiyi tribe for the defeated side to donate slave beauty, and... the Qi people donated Yue Ji, known as the most beautiful woman, to the regent, which is enough in itself."
Wei Changting stroked his chin and nodded: "That's right, but it's a pity... now the Qi people want to assassinate the regent."
The people of the Qi people may or may not recognize the pot for the assassination.
It's a pity that Miss Leng Shuang is such a stunning beauty. Who would have thought that such an exotic beauty with such natural beauty could actually be a spy under Xie Yan?!
Wei Changting suddenly remembered something and asked Xie Yan, "A year ago, did the prince expect that the Qi people would be defeated and move westward?"
A year ago, the Qi tribe was fighting fiercely with them. At that time, Xie Yan expected that the Qi tribe would be defeated and move westward?
Xie Yan's eyes were indifferent, as if asking: What's the problem?
Wei Changting laughed dryly and said: "The prince knows things like a god, and my subordinates admire him."
Xie Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Wei Changting's convulsions from time to time. He looked at Leng Shuang and said, "How is the situation in the Qi Clan Royal Court?"
Leng Shuang solemnly said: "A month ago, Ji Qing was assassinated and had one of his arms cut off. We originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Ji Qing, but unfortunately Ji Qing was seriously injured and was protected by heavy troops. After the Qi clan's royal court moved westward, the personnel changed drastically. We
The people could not find him for the time being. Due to the defeat of the Qi tribe, the situation of Bai Jingrong and her son in the royal court of the Qi tribe is worrying. The queen of the Qi tribe and her son, the third prince, united with their mother's family to attack Bai Jingrong and wanted to unite with the tribal leaders to depose him.
The position of the eldest son and crown prince. Because of this, Bai Jingrong had to ask his third son Ji Rong to come to Dasheng as a hostage. Now the Qi tribe may not be stable in a short time."
Xie Yan nodded, "Very good. What do you think of Ji Rong?"
Hearing this, Leng Shuang frowned slightly and seemed to hesitate.
"It's okay to just say it."
Leng Shuang thought for a while and said: "Ji Rong is Bai Jingrong's third son. It is said that Bai Jingrong was injured when he was still in the womb and was born prematurely. His health has been poor since he was a child. In addition, he is obsessed with the Central Plains culture and has a tolerant and conciliatory character. The Qi people admire
Of course, a prince like him doesn't value martial arts very much, and even Ji Sui and Bai Jingrong, the war leaders of the Qi tribe, are very indifferent to this son."
Wei Changting smiled and said: "Can Bai Jingrong and Ji Sui really give birth to a son who looks like a little white rabbit? Interesting. My lord, what do you think?"
Xie Yan said: "Keep an eye on him first. Since he is the son of the Bai family, there must be a lot of people who want to cause trouble for him." You will know if he is really weak and harmless.
"That's right," Wei Changting said thoughtfully, "Although it has been almost thirty years, there are still many of those people still alive."
The brothers Bai Kuan and Bai Jingrong did a lot of unscrupulous things in order to compete with Gaozu for the world. Some grudges will never be forgotten even after generations have passed, not to mention that not all of them are dead now.
"What else?"
Leng Shuang pondered for a moment and said: "King Zhan Cheng favors Bai Jingrong and his mother, and the queen of the Qi tribe and her mother clan have been dissatisfied for a long time. It's just that she is temporarily unable to compete with King Zhan Cheng in terms of strength, so she seems to have the intention of bringing in reinforcements. Third.
The spies stationed by the battalion in the west have received news that the Third Prince has secretly contacted various tribes in the West. If we can get involved, perhaps civil strife among the Qi people is not far away."
Xie Yan nodded and said: "Very good, I will consider this matter. You have worked hard, go down and rest first."
Leng Shuang didn't hesitate and immediately stood up and resigned, "Subordinate, please retire."
Seeing Leng Shuang's back disappearing outside the door, Wei Changting couldn't help but praise her, "Your Majesty is so cruel. For such a stunning beauty, you can forget about throwing her into a hellish place like the Secret Code Camp. What's more?
Send them to Xiyi to blow the wind and eat the sand. It is a waste of natural resources, a waste of natural resources!"
Xie Yan looked at him coldly, "If you don't want to die, I advise you not to mess with her."
Wei Changting raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Does this girl have any other extraordinary origins? That's right, she is obviously not from the Central Plains, how could she become a member of the Secret Code Camp?"
Xie Yan said: "She is the youngest daughter of King Rouran Tufu. The late emperor and I dug her out of the dead fourteen years ago. In Xiyi, she is more useful than you."
hiss……
Wei Changting accidentally pulled his hair and grinned in pain, "She is the last princess of Rouran?"
Fourteen years ago, the Qi people took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and had no time to worry about the affairs of the Western Regions, and sent troops to destroy the Rouran tribe, which was already weak at the time. It was said that no one from the Rouran royal family was alive, but unexpectedly... there was actually a little girl left behind.
Princess?
Fourteen years ago, this girl must have been only seven or eight years old, right?
"She has already shown her face in the main hall, and it will be difficult for her to show up in Shangyong again in the future. How do you plan to arrange her?"
Xie Yan seemed to have asked a strange question, "The Secret Code Camp operates in secret, so what difference does it make if it is revealed or not? What's more, the Third Battalion is in charge of Xiyi affairs, so she may not always stay in Shangyong."
Wei Changting touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "You are right."
Wei Changting stood up and said: "Tomorrow we will formally negotiate with the Gaoyu people. Your injury is not healed yet. You should rest early. I want to go back."
Xie Yan didn't leave him alone, "Go ahead."
Wei Changting looked at him and frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Did something happen in the palace today?"
"How to say?"
Wei Changting said: "I feel that you are not in a good mood, but... I don't think what happened at today's banquet will affect you."
Xie Yan was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Zizhen, have you ever thought about the power of following the dragon?"
Wei Changting was startled, stunned for a moment, and then slowly sat down again holding on to the table.
After a while, he said: "You don't want to, what's the use of me thinking? Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
If there are no dragons, where can the power of dragons come from?
Xie Yan said: "How do you know I don't want to?"
Wei Changting sneered and said: "If you really had that intention, you would have done it yourself five years ago. Even if the Empress Dowager... might not really stop you. Others don't know, but I still know a little bit.
, I'm afraid you would rather die yourself than take the throne from your little nephew. So, who said what?"
"The Empress Dowager will not be suspicious of you. Others...even if they are suspicious, they would not dare to say it in front of you." Wei Changting thought for a moment and said decisively: "It's the Queen Mother."
It is said that Empress Dowager Zhu was Wei Changting's cousin-in-law, but Wei Changting had a very average impression of this Empress Dowager.
Lack of familiarity is one thing, but as long as Wei Changting thought that the late emperor was wise, the Queen Mother was not really a smart person.
Xie Yan raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows but did not answer. Wei Changting stood up and looked at him and said: "It is impossible to say that no one in the entire Zhenguo Army has this idea. But... at least we all understand it.
, Dasheng has been fighting for decades, and if it continues to fight, it will really die. Everyone hopes to be stable for a few years. Since you don't want it, we don't want it either."
After saying that, Wei Changting stopped staying and turned around and walked out.
When he was about to step out of the door, he heard Xie Yan's tired voice coming from behind him, "Zizhen, thank you very much."
Wei Changting smiled and said: "Isn't it the duty of the general and others to follow the prince? I just hope that the prince will remember that the wealth and lives of hundreds of thousands of brothers in the entire national army are entrusted to you."
"I know, don't worry." Xie Yan said.
Wei Changting smiled and quickly stepped out of the study without hesitation.
Wei Changting walked out of the study and passed by the small garden of Jingyuan when he saw a slender figure standing by the lake in the garden.
He is still wearing the big cloak that Wei Changting pulled from somewhere else. Who is it if it’s not Leng Shuang?
"Miss Leng, why don't you take a rest? Is it because no one has arranged a place for you?" Wei Changting walked over and greeted with a smile.
Leng Shuang turned around and looked at him with cold eyes under the moonlight.
It was rare for Wei Changting to feel a little embarrassed, "Um...it was really a flood that flooded the Dragon King Temple today. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, Miss Leng."
"Come back." Leng Shuang said coldly.
Wei Changting was stunned, "What?"
Leng Shuang's eyes became darker, "My thing."
Only then did Wei Changting remember that the golden flower hair ornament on her head fell off when she was carrying Leng Shuang, and he picked it up casually.
He quickly took out a golden flower hairpin from his sleeve pocket and handed it over. At the same time, he was a little curious, "Is this hairpin important?"
Although it's gold and seems to be worth a lot of money, you don't have to wait here all night to ask him for it, right?
Leng Shuang took the golden flower and didn't know where it was touched. She only heard a whooshing sound and a strong wind shot past Wei Changting's side.
Wei Changting turned around and saw a golden short nail embedded in the tree trunk behind him. The golden color had a faint and strange color under the moonlight, obviously...
poisonous!
Wei Changting's smile froze on his face, and he was about to turn around and say something to Leng Shuang, but he saw that Leng Shuang had already put away his things and was walking across the lake.
After several ups and downs, we reached the other side and then disappeared behind the rockery without looking back.
