In the night, the lights of the Longyou Road military camp were bright, and Xiang Yun stood in front of the picture and meditated.
"Captain." Jiang You walked in, "The inspector has been arranged. He seems to be an honest man. He seems to be frightened by our warm reception. He asked me if I could take the time to let him go back to his hometown to visit relatives... This is because he wants to run away. ?”
Xiang Yun laughed and shook his head: "Don't worry, the Marquis didn't let them do things in the first place."
Regardless of whether he was here to do something or just show up, if you cut off the leader, these marionettes would be meaningless. Jiang You left it alone and took out the secret report: "The Governor of Qi is passing through Jiangnan Road. Everything is going well so far."
Xiang Yun hummed and looked at the map: "Tell him not to approach Henan Road. There are soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road over there."
On the other side of Henan Road, a group of soldiers from Jiannan Road were homeless. They had previously taken refuge with Han Xu and returned to Jiannan Road.
Jiang You responded yes and asked again, "Shall we set off now to meet with them?"
Xiang Yun looked at the sky outside: "I have to go to a place first."

………
The morning light illuminates Shannan Road. Compared with the noise of other roads, Shannan Road looks peaceful.
Soldiers and horses patrolled the city, policemen patrolled the streets, store clerks yawned and opened the doors, and neighbors passed by the Yamen with their hands and shoulders, and stopped by to see the notices posted about the new trends of the court...
There was civil strife among the children of Yanhai Dao Jiedushi over their family property. The chief culprit, Chang Sangong, had been executed. After this incident, in order to strictly protect the order of Dao, the imperial court elected a supervisory envoy.
This is a previous announcement, there is no new content these days.
"How can there be so much new news?" the officer in front of the Yamen laughed, "but the latest news is that people from the Southeast Road of Longyou Road have been sent to greet the inspector."
"Really or not? It's impossible." The neighborhood vendor, who had experienced the war, didn't understand anything, so he winked and smiled.
"Really." The officer said, thinking about the notice he received from the court. There was no need to post this notice. "The Governor of Qi is going to send his daughter off to get married, and the Governor of Xiang is going back to his hometown to visit his old father. They all have to leave Wei Dao, so there is someone urgently needed." I can look after the house.”
The hawker yelled, feeling that something was wrong, but it didn't matter. They were just listening to the fun, and they couldn't influence the world's major events.
"We don't have such worries." He smiled and carried the dry firewood. "We have never had a military governor here."
The two governors of Shannan Road went to the emperor to lead the troops very early, and later followed the new emperor into the capital. They had already been awarded the title of general, and had long since ignored the affairs of Shannan Road.
Shannan Road has been managed by Han Xu, and Han Xu was transferred to Linzhou. Now Shannan Road can be said to be leaderless...
"We are not leaderless." The officer corrected, pointing to the Taoist office behind him, "Miss Li of Jiannan Road is here."
Han Xu was away, and Li Mingyu was fighting for the emperor. Although Miss Li was a daughter, she was still able to take care of the family. This was not surprising to the people, as there were women in the imperial court who were granted the title of marquis.
"Yes, there are already queens, so what's wrong with me living in this government office?"
Li Mingqi sat on the soft quilt and yawned.
"Young lady can also be a governor in the future!" Nian'er handed over the warm water with a proud look on her face. She felt that she would be a young lady now, and the young lady had already moved into the government office.
Li Mingqi pursed her lips and drank a few sips. She was not so arrogant as Nian'er.
"What's the use of living in a government office!" She snorted, stretched and got up, "My second uncle and fourth uncle didn't listen to me."
It was a bit chilly in late autumn, so Nian'er put a soft silk robe on Li Mingqi: "But Mr. Han only allowed you, Miss, to live in the Tao Yamen, and also gave instructions to both Taoist priests to only listen to you. The second and fourth masters can't do anything to Miss.
"
But many things were controlled by those two people, and she couldn't do anything to them. After all, she still lacked a title, and the eldest lady was not enough. If she had a title like Mrs. Chu's, no one would dare to look down upon her again.
How can she get a royal title? Li Mingyu has no hope. No matter how many things she does, she can only make a wedding dress for the young lady who is hiding away and enjoying happiness.
Li Mingqi stood in front of the desk. When she saw an official document, she became even more angry. She slapped it with her little hand: "The father and daughter of the Qi family are so shameless!"
Nian'er scolded him again and comforted him: "If we are sure that Qi Acheng will get married to Mr. Xiangbei, he will no longer covet Mr. Nan."
This is also a good thing.
"What does this good thing have to do with me!" Li Mingqi was angry, "The problem now is that the Xiang family no longer covets me."
For the first time, Nian'er knew that coveting was actually a good thing?
"Of course it's a good thing. If you need it, ask for it. If you don't need me anymore, I will be useless." Li Mingqi poked at the official document with her little finger, "If it is useless, it will become waste, and there will be nothing."
No, we can't just be like this. We've already been the eldest lady, so we can't go back to being Li Mingqi.
Li Mingqi looked at the official document, and the more she read, the more she understood. It was just a cooperation between the two families, forming an alliance to help each other. She sat down and said, "I will write a letter to Xiang Yun and ask him to send troops to help me manage Shannan Road."
Can this be considered useful? Nian'er blinked: "Shouldn't Miss send troops to help them?"
Didn't you do this before? Butler Jiang is still in Xiang Nan's white-robed army.
"It's different now." Li Mingqi spread out the letter paper, "In the past, everyone needed soldiers and horses to fight the rebels. Now, instead of fighting the rebels, soldiers and horses are not important anymore. Place has become more important. If you give soldiers and horses, the other side will still be suspicious.
Be on guard, otherwise why would Butler Jiang be left on Huainan Road by Mr. Nan and never take him with him."
She was very articulate, but Nian'er was still confused: "Oh..."
Li Mingqi glanced at the stupid girl: "Xiang Yun has a Longyou now. I will give him half of Shannan Road. Do you think he wants it?"
Nian'er suddenly nodded and wanted to.
"Without my invitation, he has no excuse to come in." Li Mingqi said, her little nose wrinkled, and she picked up a pen to write a letter, "He is here, and the soldiers and horses are also a help to me. I am at the location of Jiannan Road, Shannan Road.
It’s even more unshakable.”
The more she appears in front of people and does more things as a fake young lady, the longer she will last.
Nian'er stood up and rolled up his sleeves: "I will grind ink for the lady!"
Li Mingqi said: "Printing the ink is not important, the important thing is to send the letter."
She regularly sends letters to Xiang Nan. Jiannan Road has not yet announced the dissolution of the engagement, so letters need to be exchanged between husband and wife.
The content of the letters I wrote in the past was nothing, but this time it was different. I had to avoid Jiannan Road.
"Obviously, I will still deliver the letter to Mr. Xiang Nan." Li Mingqi whispered to Nian'er, "Then while we are out, we can find a businessman traveling on the northwest route to deliver the letter to Xiang Yun."
Nian'er was not useless. The letter was sent out properly according to Li Mingqi's instructions. It was not discovered until after passing three levels.
It was quickly delivered to Guihua in Linzhou. She read the content, and anger appeared on her usually dull face: "Why is this little girl so heartless!"
Just like watching Han Xu in Shannan Road, she also came after Han Xu arrived in Linzhou.
The reason is to take care of things on Jiannan Road and Shannan Road.
"Didn't you say you know everything?" Han Xu retorted, "You still need to ask me?"
Gui Hua said: "I learned these things from Governor Li. Governor Li also said that there is no end to learning. Governor Li is no longer here and the world is in unprecedented trouble. Of course I will continue to learn."
Han Xu said dullly: "If you don't know anything, you can ask me on Jiannan Road and Shannan Road. You don't have to come here specially."
The woman didn't dare to admit it and looked outside: "It would be more appropriate to ask for advice in person."
Facing this Han Xu every day, how could he have some alone time, but after reading Li Mingqi's letter, Guihua was completely in a bad mood.
The old man who was responsible for escorting the goods was sitting on the porch drinking tea and laughed: "These little girls are so thoughtful."
"No matter how much you have the intention of harming others and not benefiting yourself, it is still stupid." Guihua said, "It seems that she has to get sick and return to the inner house to take care of herself. Now when she is so nervous..."
The old man said: "While Xiang Qi is getting married, we can just terminate the engagement with him."
There is no benefit from the marriage between Xiang and Li's family now. The cancellation of the engagement will make Xiang Yun look like he has less help in front of Wei Dao.
"I will write a letter to Miss right now." Guihua nodded, "Now..."
Before she finished speaking, guards came in hurriedly from outside: "Xiang Yun led Longyou soldiers to surround Linzhou."
Xiang Yun? Osmanthus looked surprised, why did he come here? Wasn't he going home to Anton to visit relatives?
"Oops." The old man jumped up from the ground, "This guy is going to attack the lady!"
Guihua asked: "If you want to attack the young lady, why come to Linzhou first?"
The old man stamped his feet: "He wants to use Han Xu to deal with the young lady and question the young lady about the crime of regicide!"
………
………
Layers of soldiers and horses are spreading in Linzhou, seemingly as slow as water, but as the water turns redder and redder, the crowd becomes smaller and smaller, and the city wall of Linzhou is clearly visible.
The changing formations, the fierce fighting, and the soldiers colliding together seemed to be fighting fiercely with themselves.
It is always difficult to defeat yourself, especially when you are outnumbered.
The old guard stood on the city wall and slapped the wall bitterly. Looking inside the city, the people who fled in hastily stirred the whole city to a boil, and there were cries and cries everywhere.
Xiang Yun walked out of the military formation and looked at the city in front.
"Han Xu, come out and plead guilty!" He shouted loudly, "Otherwise, the whole city will be rebellious and we will kill you without mercy!"
The soldiers in formation spread his voice layer by layer.
