The situation in Jiangnan has become extremely bad. Gu Qiancheng doesn't know whether the internal situation is monolithic, but Gu Qiancheng is certain that if there is no external force, Jiangnan will soon become Jingyan's Jiangnan alone. Jingyan may even rely on Jiangnan's
Soldiers and horses, and the Qin Dynasty divided the river and ruled.
This situation is not what Gu Qiancheng wants to see. If Da Qin is divided, Northern Qi and Xihu will never let go of this opportunity. The world will be in chaos by then, but...
None of this can be decided by her, nor can she stop it. She has no freedom at all in Jiangnan. She now only places her hope on Jiao Xiangdi and the Wu family, hoping that they can pass the news to Qin Jiyan.
Let Qin Jiyan prepare in advance. It would be better if he could bring a large army.
But, is the news so easy to spread?
Jiao Xiangdi couldn't do it before, and now he can't do it even more.
Not only did Jingyan's people control the garrison in Jiangnan, Master Liu of Jiangnan's mansion was also one of Jingyan's people. Before Jingyan arrived in Jiangnan, his men took control of Jiangnan, and all the stubborn and disobedient officials were killed.
Others have their entire families under surveillance.
On the surface, Jiangnan seems to be peaceful, but in fact, all the people in charge have become Jing Yan's people, and only Gu Sanshu and Jiao Xiangdi survived.
It was said that they were lucky to escape, but it was very unfortunate for these two people. Because Jing Yan treated them differently, their reputations were so bad that Qin Jiyan's people originally placed in Jiangnan did not dare to
I don't believe them, and I don't dare to have contact with them.
After Jing Yan took over Jiangnan with iron-blooded methods, he imprisoned all those who disobeyed him. Only Jiao Xiangdi and Gu Sanshu were free. If they said they had nothing to do with Jing Yan, others would not believe it.
Jiao Xiangdi and Gu Sanshu were not human beings in Jiangnan. They had a hard time in Jiangnan. Jing Yan monitored them very closely and did not control their actions. If they made any unusual move, they would be killed immediately.
Jiao Xiangdi had sent a confidant to deliver a message before, but before he could walk out of the door, Jing Yan's guards discovered him and beat him to death in front of him.
After something like this happened once, Jing Yan simply killed all his cronies without leaving any one behind. So when he went to Jingyuan to find Gu Qiancheng, he could only bring a few official officials with him, but could not bring any more people.
After those officials were beaten to the ground, Jiao Xiangdi couldn't even find anyone to help him. After all, everyone was afraid of death.
Under such circumstances, Jiao Xiangdi had no hope of sending the news out. Jiao Xiangdi, like Gu Qiancheng, could only pray that Qin Jiyan would discover the anomaly in Jiangnan and bring troops over.
Jiangnan is far away from the capital. Even though the old emperor and Qin Jiyan are very concerned about the situation in Jiangnan, it is still difficult to detect abnormalities in Jiangnan for a while. After all, it is very inconvenient to transmit news at this time.
Jing Yan didn't need to hide it from the old emperor for the rest of his life. He just needed to give Qin Jiyan and the old emperor some false news and delay it for ten days and a half, so that he could completely take over the garrison in Jiangnan.
Things went exactly as Jing Yan expected. Although the old emperor and Qin Jiyan had been keeping an eye on Jiangnan these years, their eyes were fixed on King Zhou. They had no idea that Jing Yan had unknowingly bribed the garrison in Jiangnan.
and used the money given by the fifth prince to rearm the Jiangnan garrison.
It has to be said that it was the Fifth Prince who made Jing Yan successful. If it were not for the Five Emperors card, Jing Yan would not have been able to gather the military power in Jiangnan so smoothly.
Jing Yan just made a time lag. By the time Qin Jiyan discovered the abnormality in Jiangnan, it was already twenty days later!
It's not that Qin Jiyan is incompetent, but the news from Jiangnan has always been normal. The news from Jiangnan has always been that Jing Yan has not returned to Jiangnan, and all the properties under Jing Yan's name have been sealed!
In Qin Jiyan's opinion, these are very normal things, because if he were Jing Yan, he would not go to Jiangnan and throw himself into a trap at this time.
Qin Jiyan never imagined that the fifth prince would hold him back again!
And Qin Jiyan would find something unusual in Jiangnan. After Gu Qiancheng entered Jiangnan, there was no news for four or five days.
"This is impossible!"
Yes, completely impossible.
Qin Jiyan had an agreement with Gu Qiancheng that she would report the news to him as soon as she arrived in Jiangnan. According to Gu Qiancheng's itinerary, she had already arrived in Jiangnan, and four or five days would be enough time for the secret guards to send the news back, but they didn't!
"Something must have happened in Jiangnan." There was no evidence, but Qin Jiyan was certain.
Regardless of the fact that his injuries were not yet healed, Qin Jiyan went to the palace overnight to ask for an audience with the old emperor and insisted on taking the injuries to Jiangnan.
The old emperor asked him why?
Qin Jiyan only said: "Something happened in Jiangnan!"
"Something happened? What happened? With Lord Liu here in Jiangnan, what could happen?" Lord Liu was the old emperor's confidant. He even submitted a handwritten memorial to the old emperor two days ago, listing Jing Yan's name in detail.
industries under.
Moreover, the information found by the old emperor's people was that everything in Jiangnan was as usual, and no trace of Jing Yan's whereabouts was found in Jiangnan.
"Although I have no evidence, I am certain that Jiangnan fell into Jing Yan's hands." Qin Jiyan couldn't provide any evidence, so he could only blame Gu Qiancheng.
"Grandpa Huang, Gu Qiancheng made an agreement with me before going to Jiangnan that he would report the situation in Jiangnan to me as soon as possible. Gu Qiancheng had already arrived in Jiangnan long ago, but no news came back.
I suspect she is being controlled."
"Gu Qiancheng? It's her again? What is your relationship with her?" Eunuch Situ's explanation was reasonable, but the old emperor still had a grudge in his heart. He always felt that there was something special between Ji Yan and Gu Qiancheng.
"Grandpa Huang, Gu Qiancheng is someone who can be used." Qin Jiyan lied without changing his expression.
"Really?" The old emperor really didn't believe it, "If she was just a useful person, would you be so nervous about her?"
"Grandpa Huang, what I'm nervous about is not her, but the situation in Jiangnan. If Jiangnan falls into Jing Yan's hands, things will be in trouble." The three provinces of Jiangnan are major taxpayers, accounting for one-third of Daqin's annual tax revenue. If the three provinces of Jiangnan
Being controlled by Jing Yan, the Great Qin treasury will become increasingly nervous.
"Hmph...how can he control Jiangnan?" The old emperor knew that Jing Yan was capable, but he didn't believe that he could control Jiangnan.
What's the use of having some smarts and a few goons?
Without soldiers and horses, no matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you can't even dream of becoming king.
"Grandfather, please don't forget that he is a descendant of Prince Zhaoren. There is no guarantee that there will be no one loyal to Prince Zhaoren in Jiangnan. Also, when Jing Yan was very close to the fifth uncle, how many things did he do in the name of the fifth uncle?
, do you and I know?"
Before, Qin Jiyan had never thought that Jing Yan could control Jiangnan, but now that he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Jing Yan, he took advantage of the right time, location, and even people and...
