After the Fengchuan and Fengchuan armies joined together, they immediately launched an encirclement on Shenchi.
This time Fengguo dispatched the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army, with Xiao Muqing as the commander-in-chief and Ziying as the deputy commander-in-chief. The Sichuan Army dispatched the Third and Sixth Army Corps, with General Wei Heng as the commander-in-chief and Jin Zhuo as the deputy commander-in-chief.
It was originally thought that the 400,000 troops from the two countries could complete the encirclement of Shenchi. However, when the two armies began to carry out actual operations, they discovered that the terrain around Shenchi was too complex, with hills and jungles surrounding it. It was not easy to complete the encirclement.
This is far beyond what an army of 400,000 can accomplish.
The commanders-in-chief of the two armies, Xiao Muqing, Ziying, Wei Heng, and Jin Zhuo, gathered together for discussion and unanimously decided to send letters to their respective courts to continue sending additional troops.
After the letter was sent back to Feng Kingdom and Sichuan Kingdom, the monarchs of the two countries immediately responded. Tang Yin sent an additional Feiyu Army, while Xiao Xuan sent an additional Sichuan Kingdom's Fourth Army. In this way, the two countries
The total number of troops gathered outside the Divine Pond reached 600,000.
If there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit, and if there are more than 100,000 people, the ground stretches to the sky. This time, the 600,000-strong army can completely surround the Divine Pond. Even the mountains and forests have been reclaimed by the soldiers of the two armies, and they have set up tents and set up tents.
Camp defense.
Fengguo, Zhenjiang.
Now that the encirclement of Shenchi by the two armies of Fengchuan is progressing smoothly, and there is still no movement from Shenchi, Tang Yin is not in a hurry to go to the army ahead. Taking advantage of this period, he needs to deal with some 'trivial matters' in Zhenjiang.
.
On this day, after the dynasty, Tang Yin went directly to Huaying Palace where Wu Mei was. When he arrived, Wu Mei was chatting with several maids. When they saw Tang Yin, the maids hurriedly gave him a blessing and then quickly left.
Wu Mei stood up and asked with a smile: "Why are you here so early today? Don't you have to deal with government affairs?"
"Well, I have a lot of leisure time today." Tang Yin smiled, pulled Wu Mei to sit down, and asked: "Mei'er, your birthday will be in a few days, right?"
Wu Mei smiled happily when she heard this and said in surprise: "So you still remember."
Tang Yin said: "Of course, how could I forget this!" After a pause, he immediately said: "This time for your birthday, don't make it too grand..."
Wu Mei was startled, and then asked: "Is it because the treasury is empty? I heard that Mr. Zhang has recently been complaining that the treasury is not enough."
Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with that. If the treasury is really empty, Zhang Zhe will not just talk about it with his personality." He probably would have rushed into the palace to argue with him.
Wu Mei burst into laughter when she heard this. She felt that he really understood Zhang Zhe's personality thoroughly! She asked: "If it's not because the treasury is empty, then why?"
Tang Yin said: "When it's Mei'er's birthday, the ceremony should be smaller. There's no need to invite relatives and friends to attend. Just get together with Rou'er, Xiao Min and the others."
Seeing Wu Mei's expression of doubt, he added, "Mei'er must have heard about what happened in the Sichuan Palace, right?"
"Husband, are you talking about the exquisite work of Shenchi?"
"That's right! Shenchi was able to place a detailed work on King Sichuan's pillow. I'm worried that the same thing will happen to me." Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said quietly.
"How is that possible?" Wu Mei reflexively shook her head. Although Tang Yin was not a celibate person, he was definitely not a womanizer. His only women were the princess and four ladies, not even a concubine.
, if there is a person beside him, it is the princess and one of the four ladies.
Tang Yin said: "It's best not to be natural, but you have to be on guard!"
Wu Mei seemed to not recognize Tang Yin, looking at him in astonishment. After a while, she murmured: "You... don't even believe us?"
Seeing her hurt from her eyes, Tang Yin quickly pulled Wu Mei into his arms and said softly: "If I didn't believe you, how could I tell you this?"
Among the girls, only Wu Mei had practiced Lingwu. Tang Yin also believed that she could never be a spy sent by Guang Xuanling. Because of this, he came to Wu Mei for help and asked her to assist him in testing.
While Tang Yin was speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Wu Mei, and said: "This is the spirit-gathering pill. On your birthday, you can invite your sisters to have a meal together.
Just mix the pill into the wine and let them drink it."
Wu Mei slowly took the porcelain bottle handed over by Tang Yin and didn't answer for a long time. Tang Yin said: "It's just a spirit-gathering pill, it won't be harmful to people. I also believe that there won't be a trick among them, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, as long as
Just in case, it’s better to be careful.”
Holding the small porcelain bottle tightly, Wu Mei asked: "Does everyone want to drink?"
Tang Yin nodded and said sternly: "Since we are going to test it, we must make it foolproof, otherwise it is better not to do it."
At this point, he changed the topic and said: "At that time, I will find an excuse to leave Zhenjiang. It will be more convenient for you if I am not present."
Wu Mei responded softly, then frowned and asked, "Is it really necessary to do this?"
Tang Yin was silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh and said, "Just do as I say. I... also hope they are all fine!"
Seeing the helplessness and bitterness on his face, Wu Mei was suddenly able to understand him. The events that happened in the Sichuan Palace must have shocked him a lot and reminded him that he must be careful at all times.
She couldn't help with matters in the front palace, but she should contribute to matters in the harem. Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, took Tang Yin's hand and said, "Don't worry, husband, Meier will take care of this matter."
!”
Tang Yin patted the back of Wu Mei's delicate hand and said with a wry smile: "It's hard for you."
Three days later, it was Wu Mei's birthday. According to Tang Yin's wishes, she did not hold a big banquet in the palace, and did not even invite her parents. She only held a simple banquet in her palace, inviting Yin Rou and Fan.
Min, Yuan Qianyi, and Xiao Na came to participate.
There are two other people she invited, namely Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan.
Inviting them was Tang Yin's intention. Firstly, it showed that Feng Guo valued the two of them. Secondly, and most importantly, if Xizuo really exposed his secrets at the banquet and they were present, not only could Xizuo not be hurt,
Others can't fly even if they don't have wings.
As for Tang Yin, he used the sudden accident in the garrison camp as an excuse to leave Zhenjiang City and go to the Fengjun Camp outside the city.
In the afternoon, the invited people came to the charming Huaying Palace one after another. Of course, everyone did not come empty-handed. Even Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan had prepared exquisite gifts. When Fan Min arrived, the palace
Her giggle immediately sounded in the room, and she said to Wu Mei, the birthday girl sitting in the middle: "Birthday is a big day, why are we only holding such a small banquet? I heard that the king has also left the city. It seems that the king is not like before.
I’m so proud of you!”
There was gloating in her words both inside and outside. Fan Min would not miss the rare opportunity to ridicule Wu Mei.
Wu Mei was not someone to be bullied easily, and angrily scolded: "Shut your crow mouth, if you don't want to stay here, go back to your palace!" Fan Min didn't need to test at all, Wu Mei could do it 100% of the time.
Qian was absolutely certain that she couldn't be Shenchi's work. The two of them were too familiar with each other. They had known each other since they were children, and they had quarreled since they were little. Until now, if Fan Min was Shenchi, she would dare to chop off his own head.
When the ball is kicked.
Of course Fan Min wouldn't leave. Seeing Wu Mei shrinking, she felt secretly happy that it was too late. How could she leave?
She sat down with a smile, looked around specifically, and said, "My dear madam, there are only a few people here to congratulate you on your birthday, so I'd better stay here to accompany you!"
Wu Mei rolled her eyes at her and was about to answer when Yin Rou walked in from the outside. When Yin Rou arrived, Wu Mei took the initiative to give up the main seat and sat next to her. After all, Yin Rou was the princess.
, higher than her in terms of status.
Then, Xiao Na and Yuan Qianyi also arrived one after another, and the originally empty hall finally became somewhat popular as everyone arrived.
Yin Rou sat for a while, raised her eyes to look outside the hall, then leaned towards Wu Mei and asked, "Is Yin really not coming? Today is sister Mei's birthday!"
Wu Mei smiled and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is busy with official duties, so it is more important to deal with business..."
Before she finished speaking, Fan Min blinked his innocent big eyes and interrupted: "It's really strange that nothing happened to the military camp earlier or later, but it happened to happen on Mrs. Leping's birthday. The king couldn't have deliberately avoided it.
Following you?"
After hearing this, all the girls had helpless expressions on their faces. In fact, Fan Min is a pretty good person. Although he treats people indifferently on weekdays, he doesn't have any bad intentions. But as long as he is in front of Wu Mei, he immediately becomes sarcastic. Of course
However, Wu Mei's attitude towards her was not much better. The two of them would argue when they met, and there was almost no time when they could talk properly.
"Sister Min, don't say that either..." Yin Rou carefully complained about Wu Mei.
"Rou'er, don't pay attention to her. A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth. It's born with a villain's face!" Wu Mei glared at Fan Min fiercely, and then said to the maids on the left and right: "Everyone is here, let's serve wine and food."
Bar!"
"Yes! Madam!" The maids on both sides agreed one after another and filed out. It didn't take long for the maids to come back from the outside one by one with wine and food in their hands, and placed them one by one in front of everyone's tables.
Although the banquet was not grand, the food and wine were abundant. Everyone's table was filled with food, and there were full-time maids waiting behind them. As soon as they saw any dishes that had not been used or if they were tired of eating, they would immediately
Remove it and replace it with new dishes.
As the maids helped everyone fill up their glasses with wine, Yin Rou picked up the cup first and said, "Sister, please give me a drink first!"
Seeing Yin Rou's innocent and innocent smile, Wu Mei felt guilty in her heart. She forced a smile, picked up the cup, and said, "I respect sister Rou'er too!"
