Lan Lan was sitting in the carriage. The sunshine on the grassland in early summer was very strong and the carriage was sweltering. The maid in Tsing Yi opened the curtain on the window to let the wind from the grassland blow in.
Lanlan was wearing a light silk shirt, with her slender neck exposed, looking at the steaming grassland with interest.
The climate here is really weird. In the morning, you still need to wear furs to keep out the cold, but by noon, it will become as hot as a Tokyo summer.
Since this morning, the peaceful days of the convoy have ended. From time to time, there are Rangers peeping from a distance. Once, five Rangers sneaked over quietly from a distance, wanting to get a close look at the people in the carriage.
Who was it? Fortunately, the soldiers of the New Army were still alert. When the riders were about to approach, they used crossbows to disperse the rangers. Then, the leader of the New Army ordered a tight military formation to be set up to wrap up the carriage and continue moving forward.
Okay, and at the same time send an envoy to urge Chen Lin to come and greet her as soon as possible.
As soldiers, they knew the identities of those rangers very well. The leader of the new army who had gone to fight in Dali Country could even recognize the green wolf heads tattooed on the arms of those rangers, which was the exclusive symbol of the Youth Army.
By this time, he should have entered the reconnaissance range of the Jingxi Army's ranger scouts.
The leader of the new army did not understand why the eunuch named Liang Bingqian ordered the expulsion of the young army scouts who belonged to the Jingxi Army. We should all be members of the same family.
Lan Lan heard the quarrel between the leader of the new army and Liang Bingqian. She found it very interesting. Could it be that Yun Zheng already knew that he was coming? He specially sent someone to see clearly?
She wanted to know how Yun Zheng would treat her, so she stuck her head out of the car window and looked around.
Suddenly, her eyes inadvertently passed through a large bush, and she saw a familiar face in the bush. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and that face seemed to be stupid, looking at her blankly.
Lanlan saw the monkey with a bundle of grass tied around his body, and naturally he also saw the tiger next to him that was drooling because he saw the beautiful woman.
She didn't know the tiger, but when she was in the Yun family, Lan Lan was very familiar with the monkey. In the Yun family, many women took it as a great pleasure in life to play tricks on the talkative monkeys.
Lanlan smiled brightly at the monkey, like flowers blooming. The frightened monkey no longer cared about hiding in the grass and peeking, like a rabbit with an arrow in its butt, shouting something that even he himself didn't understand.
If so, the tiger jumped and ran away, leaving only the lustful tiger to continue hiding in the grass and eating green grass.
"I just saw an old friend. There's no need to chase him. But the scoundrel lying in the grass should be taught a lesson."
Seeing the monkey lose his temper, Lan Lan rediscovered the fun of playing tricks on the monkey and stopped trying to send people to chase the monkey.
"Liang Bingqian, if you hurt that person, I dare say that even if you escape to the ends of the world, the general will chop you into seventeen or eighty pieces."
Liang Bingqian awkwardly pointed at the monkey that had run away with only a black spot left and said: "The person who came to pick you up should be Eunuch Chen Lin and Chen Lin, not the general!"
Lanlan smiled and said: "What's the difference?"
"My slave is worried that something bad will happen to my lady!"
Lanlan shook her head indifferently and said: "Without him, I would have died many years ago. Since I have been given to him as a gift, it doesn't matter how he wants to treat me. What right do I have to worry about a gift?"
?”
While Lan Lan and Liang Bingqian were talking, the unruly tiger had already knocked down seven or eight New Army soldiers with his bare hands, swore and snatched a war horse, and then chased the horse and disappeared. monkey.
From the beginning to the end, the leader of the new army did not order his men to use weapons. Seeing that the tiger had run far away, he hugged the carriage and continued to move forward as if nothing was wrong.
For some reason, the tight string in the heart of the leader of the new army finally relaxed. Although he didn't know who the woman sitting in the carriage he was escorting was, he didn't want to know. General Zhao Yannian had given instructions before leaving. Don't look at things you shouldn't, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, and quickly forget that you have ever performed such a mission after completing the task.
The monkey ran behind the mountain bag, his hands trembling so much. Others didn't know who the woman was, so how could the monkey not recognize it? This woman had lived with him in a courtyard in Sichuan for almost two years, even if he turned into ashes You can also roughly recognize it.
Shouldn't this woman be the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty? Shouldn't she be in the palace accepting the worship of the sixth palace concubine? Why is she here?
No, the young master said that this woman had died in the Daqing Palace and had been buried with the emperor. The young master was still sad for a while at that time. Why is a dead person here?
The big sun in the sky was spitting out heat violently, but at this moment the monkey felt cold all over his body. There must be something very important that he didn't know. The monkey was even sure that the reason for the young master's uneasiness these days was This damn woman is.
With trembling hands, he untied Hai Dongqing from the horse's back, wrote with charcoal on a piece of finger-long white cloth, "Lan Lan is here," these four words, then stuffed them into a bamboo tube and tied them to Hai Dongqing's legs. , and then he threw Hai Dongqing high. Hai Dongqing used his strength to spread his wings in mid-air, and after a few beats, he jumped into the sky and flew towards the direction of the Song Army's central camp.
When Hai Dongqing arrived at the Chinese army camp, Yun Zheng was having lunch. When he saw Hai Dongqing landing on the flagpole in front of the military tent, Hanniu quickly put Hai Dongqing down from the flagpole and rewarded him. After Hai Dongqing had a large piece of fresh meat, he untied the bamboo tube from the tower leg and placed it in front of Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng looked at the bamboo tube in front of him with a smile, thinking that the monkey would have to wait until at least tomorrow for news to come, but unexpectedly, there would already be news four hours later.
He was a little reluctant to open the bamboo tube. He wanted to see if his judgment was correct, but he quickly gave up this stupid idea. The answer was right in front of him, so he had to worry about guessing."
He picked up a pot of tea and took a sip. He opened the bamboo tube with one hand and shook out a white cloth strip. He just glanced at the words written on it and the teapot in Yun Zheng's hand fell to the ground. The ground was very soft because of the carpet. , the teapot was not broken, but a large area was soaked by the tea.
Yun Zheng did not look at the cloth anymore, but held the cloth in his hand, lowered his body to pick up the teapot, and blew the non-existent dust on the teapot. He felt that the teapot was not very clean, so he poured some water into the basin. I personally cleaned the teapot and wiped it with the cloth strip. The charcoal marks on it gradually blurred and finally turned into four black stains.
Monkey couldn't figure out why Lanlan came to the military camp, and Yunzheng couldn't figure out why Lanlan came to the military camp.
If Lan Lan came to supervise the army, there were so many talented people in the Song Dynasty that no woman could come to supervise the army.
What's more, Lan Lan is already a dead person in the hearts of everyone in the Song Dynasty. It was clearly written in the Di newspaper that Concubine Shu couldn't bear that Her Majesty would be alone in heaven, so she chose to commit suicide and bury the Emperor under Jiuquan. It was written very clearly.
, according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, there is no such person as Concubine Shu in the world, just like Zhao Zhen's mother, who disappeared inexplicably.
When he received the report from Di, Yun Zheng was somewhat sad because he knew that Concubine Shu, who regarded life as extremely precious, not to mention died for the emperor, even if everyone in the world died, Lanlan would never
She will give up the hope of living one more day, even if she bites the stone in her mouth, as long as she can not fall, she will persevere until she is exhausted...
How tenacious the daughter of Shu is!
In Yun Zheng's view, there was only one reason why Lan Lan died, and that was because the assassination attempt on the emperor failed. She and Cui Da conspired to kill the emperor. Yun Zheng knew it very well, but he didn't know how they would start.
, but the most secretive and possible method is just poisoning.
So when the Di newspaper with the funeral report of Concubine Shu arrived at the army, Yun Zheng naturally classified Lan Lan's death as a failure of the political struggle.
Now, she appeared alive under the Tongtou Pass! What a ghost! With the emperor's ruthless character, there is absolutely no possibility of sparing Lan Lan.
The first thing Yun Zheng ruled out was that monkeys were dazzled by monkeys. This was simply impossible. In the Yun family, the person who was most familiar with Lan Lan besides himself was Monkey. He had been running errands for Lan Lan for more than a year.
, also helped Lu Qingqing monitor Lanlan for more than a year. If a monkey could recognize the wrong person, Yun Zheng didn't believe it at all.
After all the impossibilities have been eliminated, what is left may be the truth, which means that Lan Lan is not dead and the emperor did not kill Lan Lan. It also means that in the eyes of the emperor, Lan Lan is still a very valuable person.
Women, this value even exceeds the pleasure of revenge for oneself.
What does the emperor want to do?
Yun Zheng scratched his head hard and looked at the dark sky outside the military tent. This time, he really couldn't guess the emperor's mind.
Chen Lin should know, or perhaps Chen Lin should know of Lanlan's existence only recently, otherwise he would not be able to behave so calmly in front of her.
The truth will be revealed after Chen Lin comes back.
At this moment, the most important thing he should do is to patrol the entire army, patrol his territory like a tiger, declare his existence, and show his absolute control over this army. As long as the army is in hand, any changes will be made.
Just a small cluster of waves in the ocean.
The fortifications along the Yang River are basically ready. Wen Yanbo is a very capable man. Under his command, countless craftsmen and civil servants are working feverishly on the banks of the Yang River driving thick wooden piles into the soil, and then
Then he nailed the beams with riding nails, and finally used a big saw to break the wood and get out countless wooden boards. The one-inch-thick wooden boards fell on the newly formed beams and began to extend to the other side of the Yang River! (To be continued)
