Jiang Ying didn't know that there was an extra tail behind him. He was thinking about the map all the way. Ever since he leaked the place where the 300,000-strong army passed to Hongshi last time, news came back from the border one after another.
Jungar not only broke through the defensive city in a very short period of time, but also advanced to ambush the place where the army passed and burned most of the food and grass.
No matter how stupid he is, he still knows that this matter has something to do with Hongshi, otherwise Zhun Geer will never know so clearly, but he can't figure out why Hongshi, the emperor's elder brother, wants to liaise with the enemy.
It doesn't do him any good, it just doesn't make sense.
He also looked for opportunities to ask Hongshi, but Hongshi didn't tell him. He just warned him to keep his mouth shut and not to talk nonsense outside, because once the matter was exposed, he would never be able to get away with it. At the same time,
Hongshi asked him to continue to keep an eye on the Ministry of War and tell him immediately if he discovered anything.
Now that he had Prince Guo's marching route, he could use this opportunity to ask Hongshi what he wanted to do.
Thinking like this, Jiang Ying deliberately asked the coachman to circle around the capital until dusk. Then he stopped in front of a teahouse. After drinking a cup of tea, he asked the coachman to circle most of the capital again until Tiandu.
It was dark, and he quietly arrived at the back door of Prince Ding's Palace. After he was introduced into the palace, a figure hiding in the dark also quietly left.
When Jiang Ying met Hong Shi, he was carving a jade Buddha. He learned this casually after being taken away from his job. Because he didn't put much thought into it, even if he studied for a year, his craftsmanship could only be as good as
It's pretty unsatisfactory.
Hongshi placed the first outline of the Jade Buddha on the table and said, "I'm here to see you at this time. Have you found out Prince Guo's route to Junggar?"
Jiang Ying suppressed the nervousness in her heart and said: "Yes, the official has indeed found it, but before that, please tell the prince truthfully what you want to do, do you want to leak the route to the accurate person like before?"
Gale knows?"
Hongshi glanced at him and said calmly: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't."
Just a casual glance made Jiang Ying feel unusual pressure. He squeezed the armrest tightly. Only in this way could he stop the trembling of his body. "The official has always obeyed the prince's instructions. The official will do whatever the prince says..."
…”
"Does it also include threatening the march route of Prince Naguo?" Hong Shi's casual words made Jiang Ying speechless. After a while, Fang said: "The official is not willing to do this, but the official must at least know that he is
What are you doing instead of just doing things blindly?"
Hongshi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "What I can tell you is that this matter is very important and related to my life, but I really can't say the details. If you don't want to believe me, that's the reason.
I will not force you, but you should just pretend that you have never heard of what I said before." He was referring to Xu Jiangying's promotion to a higher rank.
Jiang Ying did not expect Hongshi to be so tight-lipped, so she said helplessly: "My lord, at this time, don't you still believe in your loyalty to me?"
Regarding his words, Hongshi just laughed it off and held the tea ceremony: "Wang Zhong, send Lord Jiang out for me."
Wang Zhong was startled, looked at Hongshi and whispered: "Your Majesty, what is the marching route of Prince Naguo..."
"Master Jiang doesn't want to say anything, so how can I force myself to see off the guests?" From the beginning to the end, Hongshi never looked at Jiang Ying.
Wang Zhong couldn't figure out Hong Shi's thoughts, so he had to follow his words and said to the embarrassed Jiang Ying: "Master Jiang, please!"
Jiang Ying originally wanted to take the opportunity to threaten Hongshi to tell the truth, but she never expected that things would turn out like this, but she was really unwilling to let him leave like this. After all, if he retreated like this, he and Hongshi would have completely broken up.
It would be fine if Hongshi had always been an idle prince, but if he ever gained power, then he would...
After Wang Zhong urged him again, he suddenly knelt down in front of Hong Shi, shot his face left and right, slapped him hard a few times, and said: "I am obsessed with stealing, I don't know what is right, and I have offended the prince. Please bear with me."
For the sake of my loyalty to the prince, I will spare you this time."
Hongshi didn't say anything, just stared at him indifferently. Jiang Ying felt his gaze and slapped her face hard again. When both sides became red and swollen, Hongshi said warmly: "Master Jiang, this is
What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Jiang Ying felt relieved and quickly thanked him. When he could wait behind him, he immediately said diligently: "Today, when I was looking for a book recording carriages, horses, and armor for Brother Si, I accidentally saw a book he put on the table.
There was a map on which there was a route from the capital to the border, which was different from the one the army marched before. The official guessed that it should be the route of Prince Guo. Although Si Age quickly put away the map, the official still put it away.
Note it down."
"Very good!" Hongshi showed a smile and ordered Wang Zhong to get a map and asked Jiang Ying to draw the route from memory.
At the same time, Xiao Zhengzi also told Hongli everything he saw during the follow-up. When he learned that Jiang Ying actually went to find Hongshi, Hongli was shocked because he had always guessed that Jiang Yingruo was really the one who leaked the secret.
People, that is, colluding with the Jungar spies. Anyone could be the spy, but Hongshi could not, because he was the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and Junggar was just a barbarian land. What could the current prince promise?
The conditions for being tempted are really strange.
Hongli murmured: "Strange, Hongshi helped Zhun Geer spy on the military situation of the Qing Dynasty. What good did it do to him?"
Little Zhengzi answered from the side: "Your Majesty, I know that the second elder brother values nothing more than the throne. Did Zhun Geer promise him that if he can win this battle, he will be crowned king?"
Hongli sneered and said, "Is that what you think?"
Xiao Zhengzi was a little puzzled by his smile, and said truthfully: "Other than that, I really can't think of the reason why the second elder brother helped Zhun Geer."
Hongli walked to the window, looked at the dark sky and said slowly: "If Hongshi is a wild wolf that will never give up until it reaches its goal, then Zhungeer is a group of wolves that eat people without spitting out bones. If
They captured the Qing Dynasty, do you think they will spit it out to Hongshi again?"
Little Zhengzi was stunned for a while and said: "Maybe... maybe the second elder brother is eager to get the throne and has not thought so far."
Hongli shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate my second brother. This is the conclusion I came to after fighting with him several times. He must be able to think of things that I can think of."
"Then I really don't understand." After a moment of pause, little Zhengzi whispered: "Your Majesty, should this matter be reported to the Emperor immediately? Otherwise, if this continues, it will affect the Seventeenth Master's battle.
