Someone asked to see Xuan Tianhua outside Zongsui City. This was already unexpected. What's more, the person who came was said to be a woman, which made people even more confused.
Xuan Tianhua's first thought was of Feng Yuheng, because just two days ago he received a secret report from Feiying, saying that Princess Yu had left the capital and came to the east. But after further calculation, Feng Yuheng's footsteps were nowhere to be found.
Maybe it's so fast, and now we've only walked less than half of the way! It's impossible to suddenly appear here.
He shook his head to himself, expressing that he couldn't figure it out, but he also ordered the messenger to say: "Bring the visitor to the commander's tent!"
When he entered the handsome tent, the tables and chairs had just been set up. As soon as he sat down, the woman outside who asked to see him had already arrived at the door. Xuan Tianhua called the person in, but he saw that the person was wearing a black cloak and a big hat behind the cloak.
She held her head tightly and couldn't see her facial features clearly. She could only tell that it was a woman based on her voice. She said to Xuan Tianhua: "I came here to deliver a message to the Seventh Prince of Dashun on the order of my master. I hope you can give me a message."
Go back and don't participate in this war. Or change to another coach, but you can't go into battle personally."
Xuan Tianhua was puzzled, "Who is your master? Why do you say such things to me?"
The woman still lowered her head and said: "It is inconvenient to reveal this, but our master also has good intentions. I just hope that His Highness the Seventh Prince will listen to this advice and not go to the battlefield! Zong Sui has Duanmu Anguo to help him in this battle, and he will win."
With no confidence, Dashun will never win. His Majesty Seventh Prince will die on the battlefield, and our master... doesn’t want you to die."
This statement made people even more confused. Xuan Tianhua asked her: "Are you from Zong Sui? If you know about Duanmu Anguo and also know that he has a winning strategy, then your identity should not be ordinary. But this king is in Zong Sui.
I have no old friends in the Sui Dynasty, so why did your master help me?"
The visitor shook his head and said, "Your Highness Seventh, there is no need to ask. I am only responsible for delivering the message, and I don't know anything else. Now that the message has been brought, let's take my leave." After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but the Dashun soldiers guarding the door of the tent
How could she let her go so easily? Qian Li waved his hand, and a soldier immediately blocked the door with a long knife in his hand. The woman turned her head half-way and asked Xuan Tianhua with a bit of dissatisfaction: "I
It was a good intention to bring you the master's advice, but why, does His Highness the Seventh Prince want to keep me here and do something ungrateful?"
After hearing this, Qian Li shouted angrily: "What ungratefulness? Do you really think of yourself as a benefactor? You came to our camp inexplicably, didn't even dare to show your face, and said some weird words to confuse the morale of the army. You
How could such a person be put back?"
The woman ignored Qian Li and only looked back at Xuan Tianhua. When Qian Li saw this, he also said to Xuan Tianhua: "Your Highness, we can't let her go. At least she must tell who the so-called master is!"
Xuan Tianhua said nothing, only stared at the woman, as if he wanted to see something from her eyes faintly exposed under her hat. But he gave up after looking at it for a while, then waved his hand and said to Qian Li: "
Let him go."
"Your Highness!"
"Let her go!" He was resolute and only said to Qian Li: "This girl has no ill intentions. I can see that and let her go."
Xuan Tianhua had spoken. No matter how unwilling Qianli was, he had no choice but to let her go. He also sent soldiers to escort her out of the camp. It wasn't until the woman walked away that he entered the tent and walked up to Xuan Tianhua, puzzled.
He asked: "Your Highness, why did you let her go? That person is probably from Zong Sui's side. If you catch her, you can get a lot out of her!"
Xuan Tianhua shook his head, "It's useless, she is just a secret guard. Have you ever heard of someone raising a secret guard who would betray his master? Even if we force the person to stay, all we get in exchange is the other party.
The ending of suicide is meaningless. It is better to let someone follow her quietly, wherever she can, than letting her die."
Qian Li suddenly realized, and realized that he was only focused on leading the troops to fight, and could not turn his head around. He did not expect this. So he quickly sent someone to follow him, and then turned around and asked Xuan Tianhua a question: "What if Duanmu
Anguo is really sure of victory, so what is the surety? I can’t figure out what could be more powerful than our Dashun’s thunder and firearms?”
Xuan Tianhua shook his head, "I can't figure it out either. But since Li Jian, the second prince of the Zong Sui Dynasty, has the ability to usurp Li Kun's throne, he is not a fool. Duanmu Anguo can have the ability to persuade the new emperor of the Zong Sui Dynasty and Dashun
If he falls out, he must be able to convince the other party. If Dashun can have a thunder, others may also have a strange move, and maybe that strange move... is more powerful than our thunder."
No one can think of anything more powerful than thunder and firearms. Qian Li and He Gan couldn't even imagine what Duanmu Anguo could get. Xuan Tianhua couldn't figure it out either, plus he had already
After calculating his own death hexagram, he was already ready to burn the boat. He left many marks for Xuan Tianming along the way, indicating the direction of their army. Those marks were all correct, but he did it deliberately.
. He knows that ninth brother too well. That boy has an awkward temperament. The more he leaves correct marks, the more the other party will think it is wrong, and then follow his wishes and go in another direction. He doesn't know
How long can he hold off Xuan Tianming? At least he can capture Zong Sui's first city! He must first meet the Zong Sui people to find out what their approach is.
In the early morning of the next day, the morning fog was hazy, and the sky was even cooler than at night. At a fork in the road from the capital to the east, Bai Ze stood in front of a big tree and looked at a very difficult-to-reach mark carved on it.
He then called to Xuan Tianming, who was still on the horse, and said, "Master, this mark was left by His Highness the Seventh Prince. They should have gone this way." He pointed at one as he spoke.
The road was very wide, and there were even traces of the army walking on the road. Bai Ze was very confident in his judgment. He said: "It seems that the army has been walking here for at least a month. Counting it, it is seven
Your Highness's journey is almost the same, so we must be right to follow this road."
But Xuan Tianming shook his head, pointed to another way and said, "Let's go that way."
"Why?" Bai Ze was puzzled, "His Majesty Seventh Prince has already left a mark!"
"Because he doesn't want me to catch up with him at all." Xuan Tianming said with a stern face: "Seventh brother wants to get rid of us and fight the battle for me. But it doesn't work. Since he doesn't return to Beijing, at least
I also have to fight side by side with him, how can it be that the war on his side has already started, but I am still halfway there? The mark he left is false, we just go in the opposite direction."
Xuan Tianming stubbornly chose another path, but little did he know that Xuan Tianhua had successfully figured out his awkward temperament and successfully led him to the "correct" path that he hoped for.
Deep winter has arrived, and both Dashun and Zongsui have ushered in the season of large-scale and high-intensity snowfall. It’s just that the snowfall in Zongsui is less than that in Dashun. Especially in the capital of Zongsui, even in the severe winter, the snow
It's just a thin layer, and even the branches in the palace can't catch any snowflakes.
Queen Chun Yuqing stood under the open window of the palace, looking at the thin snow flying outside, and said to the maid beside her: "I heard that there will be heavy snow in Dashun, and it will also pile up thickly in the capital, and people will step on it."
When you go up, it will immediately sink into your feet and make a creaking sound, is that right?"
The maid Ruohong replied: "Back to your Majesty, it should be like this. Didn't you hear envoys who visited Dashun talking about the snow in Dashun a few years ago? It is said that the snow gets heavier as you go north.
It’s very difficult for people to walk. It’s ice and snow all year round.” She pointed to a few wintersweet trees in the yard as she spoke, “Look, Madam, although the wintersweet here is in bloom, it doesn’t bloom when it snows.
It's just that the flowers are wet, but it is said that every winter in Dashun, there will be a spectacular scene of snow hitting the branches. The flowers on the branches are all covered with white snowflakes, a thick layer, reflecting the petals.
, it’s very beautiful. Some people who are more particular will ask their maids to collect the snow water on the plum blossoms in a jar, and then use this water to make tea, which will bring out the fragrance of plum blossoms!”
The maid's words made Chunyu Qing feel yearning on his face, and he sighed leisurely: "It would be great if I could live in a place like that!"
"What did you say, ma'am?" Chun Yuqing's voice was so low that Ruohong didn't hear her clearly. However, Chun Yuqing just shook her head and didn't speak again.
Suddenly, a figure swayed beside them. Ruohong said "Yeah" and turned around to look, only to see a female guard standing behind them with a cold air. Ruohong knew the rules and immediately took all the people with her.
Everyone retreated, leaving the dormitory to Queen Chun Yuqing and the female guard.
"Is everything done?" Chun Yuqing was the first to ask. She looked at the female guard and said calmly: "You came back three days later than expected." △≧△≧
The female guard nodded, "Back to Master, the Seventh Prince of Dashun sent a secret guard to follow his subordinate. In order to get rid of the secret guard, the subordinate had to detour halfway, so he came back late. The master's instructions have been completed.
It’s just that we don’t know whether the seventh prince can act according to his master’s words.”
"Yes." Chunyu Qing sighed, "Just bring the words to him. It's his choice whether to listen or not."
The female guard was puzzled and asked: "Master, why do you do this? Shouldn't we just hope that Dashun loses this battle? Why do we need to remind the seventh prince?"
Chunyu Qing's eyes narrowed, he looked at the female guard coldly, and shouted in a low voice: "Who taught you and why do you ask so many questions? I, the Chunyu family, train you just so that one day you can question your master?"
The female guard was startled and quickly knelt down - "This subordinate is talking too much!"
"Back off!" Chun Yuqing was very unhappy, and at the same time there was a faint worry in her heart. The female guard had doubts, and if these doubts gradually expanded, it would not be a good thing for her. Once she sent someone to tell Xuan Tianhua
If outsiders learn about the matter, I'm afraid it's not just her who will be in trouble, but also the entire Chunyu family. As she thought about this, she felt irritated. When the female guard left, she walked to the door, stretched out her hand to open it, and faced outside.
He shouted: "Wuyan, come in."
The man named Wu Yan was an eunuch, in his twenties, and was the supervisor of the palace. After he came in, Chun Yuqing just touched his neck with his hand, and Wu Yan raised his hand and pointed upward silently.
, seeing Chunyu Qing nodding, he didn't ask any more questions, and disappeared into the dormitory in an instant...
