Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 132
Duguke glanced at Dugu Liancheng, his expression seemed to be three-point complicated, he vaguely felt that Jiang Xiaolou had rejected him before, fearing that he had fallen in love with the prince of alcohol. In all fairness, Prince Jin looks unparalleled, and she would never dare to compare with him, but Dugu Liancheng is not the emperor’s bloodline, and it is impossible to inherit the throne in the future. Why does Jiang Xiaolou want to stay close and seek further? Does she really care about fame, wealth and wealth?
Thinking of this, his heart became more complicated, but his face still smiled. After ordering people to serve tea, he asked: “The princess is here today, I don’t know what is important?”
Jiang Xiaolou said slowly and neatly: “Today my mother asked me to go to the temple to arrange for the Yunzhu County lord to make arrangements for the overtime. Who knows, I met His Royal Highness on the hunt.”
“Oh, it’s not surprising. His Royal Highness always likes to go hunting there.” Duguke said casually.
Jiang Xiaolou took a sip of tea, and said lightly: “Yes, the third majesty didn’t see it. General Pei shot the wild deer down with an arrow. It was really impressive and heroic. Originally, His Royal Highness invited us. We tasted venison together. Unfortunately, today is the first seventh of Princess Yunzhu, so I hurriedly resigned and thanked the prince and rushed here. Did the first seven ceremony begin? Am I too late?”
“No later, no later, our side is about to start.” Duguke was touched, “Mingyue Princess is really a sister, and it is admirable.” Hearing that the prince and Pei Xuan were hunting together, Duguke was startled first, then My heart became gloomy, and the original affection for Pei Xuan turned into anger, even mixed with a trace of anxiety. If Pei Xuan really supports the prince, does the 150,000 Liangzhou soldiers and horses in his hand mean that he will be taken over by the prince? The prince is so wary of himself, will he be able to give himself good fruit in the future when he is enthroned? No, definitely not! The hateful Pei Xuan, the gift was received, and his words were ambiguous, making himself think that he had a chance to win his support. Now it seems that it is just a vain shot and defected to the prince.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly. In the past few years, Duguke has done a lot of beautiful and beautiful things in the DPRK. It is a pity that the prince is the prince after all, and he cannot be shaken anyway. After Pei Xuan returned to the court, Duguke visited three times and tried every means to get him to rely on himself. However, the old General Pei who died was always orthodox and didn’t really value the three princes. Now seeing Pei Xuan walk to the prince, Duguke is sure. Dripping blood.
One hundred and fifty thousand Liangzhou soldiers and horses are self-evident for Duguke, who does not have a single soldier.
Jiang Xiaolou saw through Duguke’s thoughts, and sighed: “This scene is so grand, it can be seen that the Three Highnesses are deeply affectionate, and you can look down under Yunzhu Jiuquan.”
Duguke’s heart is complicated and chaotic, but his face is becoming more humble: “The princess has a good reputation. I originally only hoped that the husband and wife will be harmonious and the husband will sing and follow the woman. But unexpectedly, the Yunzhu princess had such a thing just after he passed the house. My heart hurts so much, it’s just a little bit of effort, it’s not worth anything.”
The two talked with each other, Duguke was obviously absent-minded. Jiang Xiaolou smiled coldly in her heart, and ordered Xiaodie to deliver the sacrifice, and said: “No matter what, my Highness, please change in mourning, I will leave first.” She was about to stand up, but Duguke suddenly opened her mouth. : “Wait a minute.”
Jiang Xiaolou looked at him with a look of inquiry.
The third prince instructed everyone to retreat, and immediately said with a stern face: “Ming people don’t talk secretly, I have very important things to tell the princess.”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded and said, “Your Highness, please speak.”
Duguke glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, and then set his gaze on Prince Jin, but his tone was extremely humble: “You two are smart people, there is no need to hide in front of smart people. Now my situation is very dangerous. His Royal Highness pressed on me step by step, almost driving me into a desperate situation. This matter…The two must have heard about it.”
Jiang Xiaolou deliberately showed a look of surprise on his face: “Xiaolou doesn’t understand what your Highness said.”
Duguke took a deep breath, and said in a very calm tone: “I asked your majesty to marry you before. This was originally a dangerous move. If it succeeds, it will be supported by the queen. If it fails, it will cause the prince’s suspicion. … The prince was really furious. He imprisoned several of my subjects in the name of corruption, tortured them severely, and forced them to tell me my guilt. If they hadn’t been loyal to me, he would rather die than confess. Now, I’m afraid it’s already a trick. I’m afraid I’ll be wronged by him, and I’ll be locked up in a jail.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly: “Oh, there is such a thing?”
Duguke’s face was pale, and his voice trembled: “Yes, the prince is so fierce. I really don’t know what to do. The princess, Qing Palace is now my in-laws. I didn’t want to talk about these words before you. It frightens you, but no one asks for help, so I have to ask you two for an idea.”
“His Royal Highness, this is really hard to say, be careful that the wall has ears…” Jiang Xiaolou sighed.
Hearing this, Duguke immediately said: “The princess can rest assured that there are confidants guarding the flower hall inside and outside, and there will never be a word.”
“Then your Highness is not afraid of us telling the news?” Jiang Xiaolou retorted.
Duguke is not a fool. He would be very uneasy if these words were spoken to others, but Jiang Xiaolou and the prince had a grievance because of Xie Yu, and everyone knew that the prince would want to put Jiang Xiaolou in. Every death place, and Jiang Xiaolou has no affection for the prince. As for Prince Jin…Last time what happened in the Prince’s Mansion, the three princes had heard about him. He knew that Prince Jin was as jealous as him by the prince. In that case, why couldn’t the three of them join forces to deal with the prince? ?
Jiang Xiaolou blinked his eyes and continued to decline and said: “His Royal Highness is imaginary, smart and calm. It’s better to tell your difficulties to your Majesty. Maybe your Majesty will take charge for you.”
Duguke secretly scolded the girl for being cunning, but said: “The princess must not harm me! The prince is the prince elected by the father. If I go to cry, I will be regarded as jealous and framed. As long as the prince seizes the opportunity to rebel I’m afraid I won’t live long. So…I want to ask two of you to save me!”
Dugu Liancheng remained silent, just sitting quietly drinking tea, without even lifting his eyelids.
Jiang Xiaolou walked step by step, with a steady expression: “Why are your Three Highnesses so worried, there are still many ministers who support you in the DPRK.”
“Yes, there are many people who support me, but none of them dare to contend with the prince!” Duguke said involuntarily, “I know, the princess repeatedly shirks, because he doesn’t want to save me at all!”
Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “Look at what you said, my Highness, I’m just a weak female stream, so what ideas can I have.”
Duguke sneered: “Princess, don’t forget that the prince loves her concubine Xie Yu. I know the prince too much. On the surface, he is tolerant, and he is very sinister in his heart. I’m afraid he has already calculated in private. For a long time, you don’t know when you will start to take revenge for his concubine. Instead of this, it is better for you and me to join hands than to sit still.”
Jiang Xiaolou was originally here to help, but if these words were spoken from her own mouth, she would naturally be at a disadvantage, so she was sitting still like a mountain, waiting for Dugu Ke to be the first to speak.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be touched, Duguke showed a suppressed emotion on his face: “Now the prince has colluded with Zi Yihou and Pei Xuan and won two powerful foreign aids. The next step is as long as he succeeds in destroying me. , It will be your turn soon.”
Jiang Xiaolou showed a particularly embarrassed expression on his face, looking at Dugu Liancheng Road: “Prince Jin, what do you think about this?”
The corners of Dugu Liancheng’s lips tilted slightly, and a smile slowly evoked: “The beginning of a grand plan for hegemony often begins at the end of the road. His Royal Highness has now been driven into desperation. As long as you seize the favorable opportunity, it may not be the wonderland of dead trees and spring.”
Duguke stared at him suspiciously: “But the prince, Xiao Guanxue, and Pei Xuan are too powerful.”
Dugu Liancheng couldn’t help but chuckled slightly: “As the prince of a country, the prince is narrow-minded, shallow, and incompetent. As a general, Pei Xuan was born to kill, cruel and ruthless, and forged countless revenges and blood debts. Xiao Guanxue, this person is cunning and scheming. He is the most difficult of the three to deal with, but he is a very smart person who will not charge for the Prince’s Palace. More importantly, he and Pei Xuan have always been jealous and hostile to each other. There are so many cracks in the middle, why is your Highness afraid of them?”
Jiang Xiaolou sat there, watching Dugu Liancheng smiling and talking to Duguke, his dark eyes were set with a faint golden brilliance by the sunlight outside the window, arousing the elegance of the room.
Suddenly, the heart began to beat with a loss.
She seemed to feel his voice mingled with the smell of medicinal herbs, gently lingering around her body.
He seemed to feel it, and glanced at her. Her eyes were gentle as water, and a strange brilliance flowed through her eyes, making her almost think she would drown in it. Subconsciously, she lowered her head, not even daring to look at his face.
“Then what should I do?” Duguke couldn’t help asking.
“Whenever you want to deal with others, you must first figure out what he wants.” Dugu Liancheng retracted his eyes and replied lightly.
Looking at Dugu Liancheng, Duguke was a little stunned for a while, wondering what he meant.
Dugu Liancheng’s expression is particularly gentle, but the sharpness in his eyes pouring out: “His Royal Highness, what does Pei Xuan want most?”
Duguke’s mind was complicated for a while, and he didn’t know what to answer.
Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help but raise his head, his crystal eyes flashed, he pursed his lips and smiled: “Leave Beijing.”
One twilight half a month later, a group of strong costumes appeared on the street surrounded by a middle-aged man in a green robe. The middle-aged man looked left and right, and seemed to be very interested in the lives of the people around him. Duguke accompanied the emperor and whispered: “Father.”
“Shhh”, the emperor hurriedly stopped him and said: “Since I am visiting in Weifu, please don’t bring out those titles. You can call me father.”
“Yes, father, there is a tea house in front of me. Do you have a rest before returning to the palace?”
One day ago, someone found a white deer in the woods on the outskirts of the city. Since ancient times, during the Great Zhou Dynasty, the white deer was auspicious. The emperor heard that the dragon heart rejoiced. He changed his clothes and went out of the city to search for it. Unfortunately, it took a day to find a white deer. The emperor was disappointed that none of his Maos were found. But after thinking about it, it would be a pleasure to be able to witness the lives of the people in the city. As soon as I sat down in the teahouse, but saw a long line on the other side of the road, the emperor couldn’t help asking: “Let’s see what it’s selling?”
“Yes.” The guard immediately went up to investigate, and returned after a short while, “It’s a Taoist who is doing fortune-telling.”
Looking at the turbulent crowd, the emperor slowly became curious, so he stopped drinking the tea, and went straight to the fortune-telling booth. At this moment, an old woman had just passed her life and came out happily, saying in her mouth: “It’s really a living god, accurate, so accurate!”
The bad guy stopped her, depending on her fate, she immediately took out the note issued by the Taoist priest and showed it to the other party, with two lines written on it: a family with a million dollars is not considered rich, and five sons are absolutely dead.
Duguke opened the mouth and said: “Old lady, the preface of this hexagram doesn’t follow the words, it’s obviously nonsense! If your family really has ten thousand dollars, why isn’t it rich?”
“You don’t know, I have ten girls in my life including head and tail. Isn’t it a million gold? The family is already poor, and a daughter needs a large amount of dowry to marry. If you have a million, you have to give away your wealth. Of course, it’s not rich. !”
“But you have five children, so why are you still dead?”
The old woman smiled and said, “A daughter is worth half a son. I have ten daughters, isn’t that equal to five sons? But in fact, I didn’t give birth to a single son. What is the name of an absolute household? When I came to marry my little daughter, I couldn’t make up my mind, so I came to see Dao Chief Wu, but as soon as I sat down, Dao Chief approved the fate and chose a good son-in-law for me. Isn’t it a man of God?”
When the emperor heard the words, he smiled faintly and said: “For these trivial tricks, let’s see me go and expose him!”
Duguke looked at the emperor’s back, and immediately ordered: “I don’t want to go up and clear the crowd, and protect the master!”
The emperor walked in front of the Taoist, and the Taoist smiled at him and said, “I don’t know how to call your husband?”
“It’s just a fortune teller at one step. Just count it. Why bother who I am? I’ll say a few days, and my husband will carefully calculate this fate. Hongxi ten years, June 12, Chenshi.”
Wu Chunfeng calculated for a moment, half-squinting his eyes: “This eight-character is full of fire and earth, and the fate is peculiar. Is it a male or female fate?”
“What if it’s a female fate?”
“If it is a female fate, she will be born in a wealthy family since childhood and married in the Zhumen Hou Mansion. Unfortunately, her fate is too heavy, she has no roots, and is destined to be destined to no one to hold her. She is really struggling to hold up the overall situation alone.”
“What if it’s a male fate?”
“This-my uncle speaks arrogantly, my husband listens arrogantly, if this fate is a man, he is born to be the emperor’s fate.” Wu Chunfeng saw respect, not fear, and his smile was already unpredictable.
The emperor’s brows moved slightly: “Why?”
Upstairs in the Jinyu Mansion in the distance, Jiang Xiaolou looked down from the window and said softly: “Look at—”
Dugu Liancheng smiled lightly, happened to walk to her side, and followed her line of sight: “This game is a bit risky.”
“If you don’t enter the tiger’s lair, you won’t be a tiger. When your majesty is middle-aged, he will like these immortal questions more and more. Only by doing what he wants can he grasp his weakness.” Jiang Xiaolou answered with a smile.
Under the sunlight, she has a focused expression, and the lines on her profile are gentle and beautiful, without any blemishes, making her heart move involuntarily.
The calm and wise Jiang Xiaolou is beautiful, but her eyes are always bright when calculating people.
Let him always feel that only she is the best looking.
The scorching heat and tenderness in his eyes eventually turned into a smile, and Dugu Liancheng slowly moved his gaze away, but his tone was extremely calm: “Yes, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t be a tiger.”
Wu Chunfeng on the street already laughed and said, “This horoscope is prosperous. In terms of numerology, he will be able to solve dangers and be auspicious in life. Therefore, he can calmly deal with many severe tests and finally win. If born in an ordinary family, He must rise up, hold millions of soldiers, and become the overlord of one party. If you are born in the house of a prince, you are unlucky before thirty, and you are crushed by a tiger star. After thirty years old, you will take the great fortune of Jinshuimu, and you will definitely open up new ground. , To enrich the people and strengthen the country, and make great achievements forever.”
The emperor stood up suddenly, shocked all over his face.
With a smile on Duguke’s lips, ordinary people think that His Majesty’s birthday is the tenth day of June. In fact, his true birthday is June twelfth. He refused to tell the world honestly about his birthday, which shows how much the emperor is suspicious. But it is precisely because of this that Wu Chunfeng’s hexagram can be regarded as grasping the emperor’s veins.
Seeing the shocking gaze of the other party, Wu Chunfeng straightened up, not even the stall, and walked away.
The emperor’s heart sank, and immediately ordered left and right: “Quick, keep up with him!”
The group followed to the entrance of the alley where no one was there, but saw that Wu Chunfeng was waiting for them, with a smile on his face, bowing to the emperor: “I have seen your majesty.”
The emperor nodded repeatedly and said, “Mr. is really a god.”
Wu Chunfeng’s heart is playing drums, but his face is calm and gentle: “The emperor personally visited, is it to find the poor road to calculate the good and bad?”
The emperor solemnly nodded his head: “This is the intention.”
When Wu Chunfeng heard this, there was a hint of hesitation on his face: “The emperor’s life is the stars in the sky, so I’m afraid to leak the secret.”
“Since the sir has extraordinary skills, he must be able to calculate it, so please speak up.”
Wu Chunfeng closed his eyes slightly, thoughtful, and sighed for a long time: “The encounter between the poor Dao and your Majesty is also God’s will. Let’s try it. It’s just a matter of words. The poor Dao is a person outside the world, and he walks the way of the rivers and lakes. , Speak very straight, please forgive me, your majesty.”
“Sir, just explain that, I will not take any blame.”
“So, please write a word first, your Majesty, take a test.”
The emperor frowned and thought for a moment, using a branch as a pen, and wrote a killing character on the wall. Wu Chunfeng’s face changed slightly, and he said: “Your Majesty, I really don’t dare to say anything, please forgive me.” After he said that, he walked quickly and left, the emperor said quickly: “Mr. , Why can’t you say it clearly?”
Wu Chunfeng finally confided: “Your Majesty, this word is a great omen, alluding to the military disaster in the southwest. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of blood and light, and the lives will be charred.
The Baiyue people lived on the southwest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Baiyue people were very brave and good at fighting, and especially liked to invade and plunder. The great power of the Great Zhou was strong, and they regularly offered worship. However, if they were negligent, they would cause chaos. They sent troops to attack and defend several times over the years. However, these Baiyue people could not fight, kill and kill, they could only be in Liangzhou. Chen Bing 150,000, ready to deal with Baiyue sudden change. Just two days ago, the emperor received the Southwest Emergency Report, saying only that Baiyue had signs of arranging troops. Hearing this, he replied: “There are indeed changes in the southwest, but I will arrange for the brave generals to go on the expedition. The war is chaotic, sir, don’t worry.”
Wu Chunfeng repeatedly shook his head and said: “Your Majesty’s decision is dangerous and dangerous!” Before he finished speaking, he already sighed, “Poor Dao has already said too many things that should not be said. Even if your Majesty is reluctant, I will definitely not Dare to speak more and say goodbye!” Before the emperor could stay again, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
The emperor felt uneasy, and asked Duguke: “What do you think the old Taoist priest meant?”
Duguke shook his head, with a puzzled face: “Please forgive your son for being dull. I really don’t understand the meaning of the Taoist leader. Father, he may be just a liar who bluffs and deceives. It just happened for a while, why should you let it go? In the heart,”
The emperor showed a little hesitation on his face: “But I think… he seems to mean something in his words.”
The third prince Duguke glanced at the emperor: “The minister there will go to find out who is his last name and where he lives.”
“Go, go right now!”
Two days later, Tu Zhan, the leader of Baiyue, really summoned tens of thousands of Baiyue people to rebel against Dazhou. The battle reports were one after another, and Liangzhou was in danger. When the emperor heard the news, he was furious, and urged his courtiers to discuss countermeasures quickly and recommend a general to rule the enemy. The prince and courtiers went on to elect Pei Xuan, but the emperor left the folds in the middle and was unable to make up his mind.
Inside the secret room, Duguke couldn’t help but be puzzled: “You asked me to deliberately please Pei Xuan, give his advice, and secretly fund Baiyue leader’s grain, grass and supplies, so that they will rebel, so that your Majesty Enzhun Pei Xuan will go out for war. I am clearly helping him.”
Dugu Liancheng smiled and said: “If you want to get what you want, you must give it first. Since your Highness wants to get rid of Pei Xuan, you must first gain his trust. What he wants most is to go back to Liangzhou. His Highness has provided such a great opportunity. Of course he will seize it at all costs. Moreover, His Royal Highness has always tried every means to win him, he will believe you.”
Jiang Xiaolou was silent, she wanted to see how Dugu Liancheng would get rid of Pei Xuan.
“Then what should we do next?”
Dugu Liancheng said: “Please go to your majesty and recommend Pei Xuan.”
Duguke’s eyelids twitched and his color suddenly changed: “Are you crazy? Then Pei Xuan has already colluded with the prince. How can I give him this great opportunity to make merit?”
Dugu Liancheng looked indifferent: “His Royal Highness, I have an idea, it depends on whether you use it or not.”
Duguke looked at him with some contradiction in his heart. He wanted to believe in Prince Jin, but he felt that this was too risky. If Pei Xuan was let go, the 150,000 soldiers would fall into the hands of the prince. He really lost his wife. I broke down again and was busy. But the other party’s words were so plausible, and now sitting in the same boat, he had no choice but to say: “Okay, I will believe you again.”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded unconsciously: “His Royal Highness has already made a request to the emperor to let Pei Xuan go, but unfortunately he was blocked by His Majesty. If the Third His Highness goes again, His Majesty will agree. Pei Xuan is at a time of anxiety, and His Highness is just right. Help him and he will appreciate you.”
That night, the three princes went to the palace to sponsor Pei Xuan, and the emperor was sure enough, and Duguke went out and went straight to General Pei’s mansion. Pei Xuan gave a banquet to thank the three princes Duguke for his recommendation.
At the banquet, Pei Xuan held up the wine glass with a smile on his face. He knew that Duguke had been trying every means to win him over, and this time he deliberately applied grace for the purpose of separating himself and the prince. From the generation of Pei’s father, the Pei family supported the prince, and he would not turn to a prince who had no chance of winning. But now the three princes recommend a kindness. It is difficult for him to refuse people thousands of miles away. He only smiled and said: “Your majesty, rest assured, I will be a triumphant triumphant, and will live up to his grace.”
The two sides are cautious, on the surface they are harmonious, but in reality they are tentative.
Duguke’s expression was particularly serious: “General, the leader of Baiyue is very fierce and good at fighting. You killed his uncle and had blood feuds with him, so be careful.”
“Yes, thank the three princes for their hospitality.”
“This time, the emperor did not agree with the general to go to the front line, but I desperately recommended it. I hope you will be the general…” Duguke deliberately stopped talking as Prince Jin said.
Pei Xuan immediately understood the intention of the third prince, but his smile was light: “Your Highness can rest assured, for the sake of today’s grace, I will also regard His Highness as a friend, not an enemy.”
There was a hint of joy on Duguke’s face, and he didn’t immediately make any excessive demands. He just got up, and wanted to leave. Seeing that he was leaving, Pei Xuan began to relax his mental alertness, but he didn’t know that Duguke’s plan had just begun. Duguke got up, half-jokingly said: “Farewell today, what the general said…will it count then?”
Pei Xuan smiled and said: “I have never said anything in my life. Please rest assured, your Highness. In the dispute between your Highness and the prince, I just stay neutral.”
neutral? I’m afraid that you said neutral today, and you will help the prince tomorrow. Duguke sneered, but he was very hesitant on the face: “But I heard that the prince sent ten stunning beauties and a hundred taels of gold. Not more wealthy than His Royal Highness, hey, even if you are willing to help the general, you can only say a few words for you in front of your father–”
Pei Xuan’s brows moved slightly. He knew that the emperor liked Duguke quite a bit. Since the other party could persuade the emperor to let himself go, he could change his mind at any time before the army had set off. He was tired of this capital, so he could barely deal with the stupid three princes in front of him, and there was no loss to him. Thinking of this, he immediately said, “Is your Royal Highness asking for a promise from me?”
“This…” Duguke showed a look of embarrassment, “After all, there is no proof to say, can the general have a gift for him?”
This was his only purpose here, but he chose to say it at such a moment, and Pei Xuan was slightly taken aback, even knowing that Duguke was asking for a guarantee. People have already left, and of course it is too late to prepare other things. He frowned: “Then I will leave a token, and your Highness can use this token to see me at any time.”
Of course it is too late to prepare now. Duguke glanced at a jade pendant on his waist, and immediately said, “Is it possible to use this as a proof?”
“This–” The eyes of the third prince are too venomous, and the jade pendant is a gift from the prince. If he transfers it to Duguke, it is equivalent to telling the prince to betray his lord. Pei Xuan smiled slightly and removed the knife on his waist. The dagger was immediately given to the three princes and said: “His Royal Highness, with this knife as a proof, I am grateful for your help and promised His Highness, please rest assured.”
Duguke breathed a sigh of relief. He came to this close-fitting golden knife today. That jade pendant… was of no use to him, and he shied away again and again, and finally accepted it: “If the general regrets it, I must use this knife—”
“If I interfere in the fight between you and the prince, you can cut off my head with this knife.” Pei Xuan said coldly.
Seeing Duguke took the knife and said goodbye, although Pei Xuan’s heart was a little strange, he did not think much. At this moment, he had already smelled the smell of the battlefield, it was the fragrance of blood, countless heads of people were calling him, making his whole blood boil. The emperor’s edict required him to set off in three days, but he couldn’t help it now. He wanted to run to the battlefield and let the blood of Baiyue people spread all over Liangzhou.
On the third night, a secret guest came from Pei Gang’s army in Liangzhou. Pei Gang is Pei Xuan’s clan brother and the lieutenant he pulled up with one hand. Now he takes the place of Pei Xuan to guard Liangzhou, facing away from the tens of thousands of rebels in Baiyue. The person he received was a guard named Jin Chang from Pei Xuan’s Mansion. The man hurriedly increased his whip, and killed three fast horses before reaching the barracks before dawn. Da Zhou’s generals are forbidden to exchange news with the capital, especially generals and officials in the capital who are on the go. Seeing Jin Chang, Pei Gang realized that something was wrong, and immediately retreated to the left and right, and asked: “What happened to the capital?”
Jin Chang was full of grief and indignation: “General Pei sent me to spread the word. Your Majesty suspected that the general and the prince were conspiring and deliberately lured him out of Beijing in the name of an expedition. In fact, he was quietly monitored and he wanted to find a chance to kill the general during the expedition! Please! Communicate quickly with Baiyue, please tell them the general’s friendly intentions…”
Friendly? ! This means that Pei Xuan intends-Pei Gang was startled in a cold sweat, and immediately he fell into hesitation, his thoughts kept turning. Pei Xuan is a cautious person. On the eve of fighting with Baiyue, he is most vulnerable to suspicion and suspicion. The borders are strictly guarded. Choosing to communicate with Baiyue at this time is not in line with Pei Xuan’s usual style. Although Er Ze Pei Xuan is a killer by nature and lacks strategy, there are many counselors around him, how can he make such a big decision so hastily. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a conspiracy, but he could no longer verify it.
“If I surrender, what will the general do?”
“The general’s team will arrive in Minzhou in five days. At that time, he will find ways to kill His Majesty’s spies, gather 150,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou and tens of thousands of people from Baiyue to support the prince… Time is running out, I have letters and The golden knife is your testimony. Please make up your mind early and don’t let the general trust down!
Pei Gang was surprised and suspicious. He didn’t know that the golden knife was given to Duguke. There was no sign of Pei Xuan’s sudden rebellion, but the person in front of him was Pei Xuan’s guard, and there was a golden knife as evidence. Believe it. At this moment, there is no way to get in touch with Pei Xuan, who is thousands of miles away. Pei Xuan mentioned his resentment against the emperor for not allowing him to go out of Beijing several times before contacting. After thinking about it, Pei Gang finally made up his mind…
Three Princes House, Secret Room
The candlelight flickered, illuminating Duguke’s face: “Did he take the bait?”
Dugu Liancheng calmly closed the news that had just arrived, and said quietly: “Your Highness, please spread the news immediately, saying that Pei has just collided with the enemy before the battle, and the correspondence with Baiyue generals has been exchanged. The correspondence… has been intercepted. Up.”
“He really acted?” Duguke was ecstatic. He originally thought that this strategy was too risky. In case Pei Xuan refused to give a knife or Pei Gang did not trust him, the matter would be completely over.
“His Royal Highness, Pei Xuan had already decided to be loyal to the prince, but without your help, he couldn’t leave Beijing at all. So he must use a golden knife to appease you and make you believe in his defection. This is human nature and his cunning. When Jin Chang arrived, it happened to be the day when Pei Xuan set off. He was originally the guard of Pei Xuan. He was often flogged by Pei Xuan. One of them was flogged by Pei Xuan. Now he was bought by His Highness with a lot of money. He naturally spared no effort. Although Pei Gang is good at fighting, he is not. Clever, and more importantly, he just recently snatched a Baiyue woman as a concubine… Another point, although Pei Xuan killed Baiyue’s former leader, he kept peace with them for three years. This is because Baiyue The more tributes to him innocent people for his killing, and he also opened up the city’s inter-city trade. If it hadn’t been for the bandit family and collusion, why would Pei Xuan be trapped in the capital, Baiyue acted immediately, we are nothing but tactics.”
“You… how do you know so much?”
“Have you forgotten what I did in the past? The caravans of Xie’s family are all over the world, and so is Liangzhou.” Dugu Liancheng came down to the final conclusion: “Association with the enemy and treason, the evidence is like a mountain, and your Highness now has the winning ticket.”
“Okay, okay, it’s really great! When the two countries were at war, Pei Xuan’s cronies actually contacted the enemy generals… According to the law of the Great Zhou, Pei Xuan would sit down and die! I’m going to ask someone to give his father a son and say This matter, let him arrest Pei Xuan quickly!”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled, but blinked his eyes: “Your Highness is wrong.”
“Oh, what’s wrong?”
