The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 187

He sat up gloomily from Shang Junlin’s arms, and the charming atmosphere disappeared instantly because of these words. He looked at Shang Junlin with a little confusion in his eyes: “Why are there still people?”

Shang Junlin supported Shen Yu to stand, got up and tidied up his clothes: “I’ll go take a look.”

Eunuch Meng was waiting outside, and Shang Junlin changed his coat and went out: “What’s going on?”

“The leader of the forbidden army has been waiting for your majesty outside, your majesty is here, please.” Eunuch Meng didn’t know the specifics. Knowing that this matter could not be delayed, he was busy leading the way for Shang Junlin.

It’s still morning, usually at this hour Shen Yu hasn’t even woken up yet. After Shang Junlin left, he couldn’t sleep either, so he asked Mu Xi to come in for breakfast.

When eating alone, Shen Yu eats faster than usual, not picky eaters, and eats at will to fill his stomach.

The snow outside had stopped, and Shang Junlin didn’t come back. It’s not a small thing to think about this time.

“Mu Xi, go and ask the people outside if there is anything unusual in the capital recently.”

“Yes.”

After a year of training in Zhuangzi, Shen Yu’s people are now able to take charge of themselves, and it is easy to find out any news that is not deliberately concealed.

During the period of waiting for the news, Shen Yu had nothing to do, so he simply went to the small study, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down what would happen in the future based on his past life impressions.

Events are listed on the paper, Shen Yu put his fingers on his forehead, trying to find out what can be connected to today’s events from these events.

After a long while, Shen Yu folded the paper and put it on the candlelight to light it up.

This kind of thing related to the future, Shen Yu refused to stay.

When I came out of the small study, it was already noon, the weather was clear, and the sun hung high in the sky, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

Shen Yu walked into the sun and squinted slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, what happened today is not sudden. The King of Yue was arrested, and Shang Junlin kept people in prison without dealing with them, in order to catch all the forces behind him. Although they have caught a lot of people hidden behind the King of Yue. Power, but the leader still has no clue.

Such a huge force must be controlled by someone behind it. If you don’t find the manipulator, you will not be able to feel completely at ease. These forces that suddenly appear outside the capital are likely to be here for King Yue.

After Shang Junlin came back, he confirmed what Shen Yu was thinking.

“The whereabouts of these people are uncertain, as if they appeared suddenly, but the Imperial Guard still found some commonalities between them and those before. Now the King of Yue is imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the traces of these people’s activities also revolve around the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the target is mostly the King of Yue. “

Shang Junlin took off his cloak, walked to Shen Yu and sat down.

“Ayu is playing chess by himself?”

In front of Shen Yu, there was a chessboard. On the chessboard, the black and white battles were fierce. If either side was slightly careless, they would lose by one piece.

Shen Yu dropped Bai Zi, and Bai Zi instantly overwhelmed Hei Zi with an absolute advantage.

Shen Yu didn’t drop any more sunspots, but looked at the chessboard and asked, “Who do you think will win, Your Majesty?”

“Looking at the situation, Bai Zi’s chances of winning are very high, and Hei Zi is surrounded by many, and there is no way to retreat.”

“It just looks like, if I think about it, if the sunspot can make a comeback, it really depends on who wins. It’s not the sunspot or the white one, but me, the chess player, isn’t it?”

“Until the last moment, who can say that he is the chess player?”

outside the capital.

Well-trained men in black who wear uniforms are hiding in the dark. The leader of the forbidden army leads his subordinates into the area where the men in black are hiding. Here it is.

A silent fight unfolded in the inaccessible forest. The strong smell of blood attracted wild beasts in the deep forest. They tried to approach and dragged away delicious food.

The sky gradually darkened, and the movement in the woods gradually subsided. The leader of the forbidden army held the ground with his sword, and wiped the blood on his face with his free hand.

“Look to see if there is a living hole, and check around by the way, don’t let people slip away.”

“Yes, my lord.”

After packing everything up, the leader of the forbidden army entered the palace to return to life.

It is a pity that this group of people who were sent out were all dead soldiers, and they were all wiped out by the forbidden army, so there was no way to ask useful information.

Since there are the first batch of people who are active around the capital, there will inevitably be a second batch and a third batch. Shang Junlin specially transferred an army to guard outside the capital. If something is wrong, there is no need to report it and act directly.

“Strict investigations are taking place everywhere. Where did these people come from?” In front of Shen Yu, there was a map of Dahuan. On the map, many red marks were marked, and these places were where the rebels appeared.

Gu Huai was instructed to lead troops to clear the remaining forces of the rebels outside, and now he has destroyed several places with remarkable results.

Shang Junlin stood beside him, his eyes fell on the map, and the rest of the red marks could see the connection between them, only the ones that appeared near the capital had no connection with any other place, as if they suddenly appeared. generally.

“I don’t know. Except for the first day, I haven’t found any traces of these people. I also sent people from the Ministry of Punishment to watch, and no suspicious people were found.”

“Your Majesty, remove those people outside the capital, let them hang around outside, and the people behind the scenes can only watch what they want to do.”

Shang Junlin turned to look at Shen Yu, the two looked at each other, and Shen Yu blinked.

Shang Junlin retracted his gaze: “Okay.”

The people of the capital suddenly discovered that the guards who were often patrolling around had disappeared, and those who were attentive even discovered that the soldiers who had been wandering outside the city had also disappeared.

“What happened? Suddenly there are more patrols on the street, and suddenly there are no more today?”

“Maybe the above thinks that there is no danger?”

“Don’t tell me, when there are more patrols, there are fewer thieves. At this time in previous years, thieves were sent to the yamen almost every day. There are not a few cases this year.”

“I didn’t even notice if you didn’t say it, that’s true.”

The court did not disclose that the people did not know what was going on outside. In their impression, the leader of the traitor, King Yue, had been arrested, his forces had also been disintegrated, all problems had been resolved, and this year could be a good year.

It is impossible for the court to tell the people everything. Many are selectively published in the people’s newspapers, and some are not suitable to be mentioned, and will not appear in the people’s newspapers.

Subei.

Near the end of the year, Jiang Huaiqing returned to Subei after finishing Lin Yuan’s affairs.

This year was the same as last year. He spent time with Jiang Huaiqing. Many of the officials who came to Subei were young. In addition, they didn’t bring any family members and simply proposed to celebrate the New Year together.

Being in a foreign land and spending the New Year together is better than being alone.

A few days in advance, the Subei government had already started preparations for the New Year. This was the first year they had spent here, and the first year they had embarked on their journey. No matter what happened in the future, at least at this time, everyone relationship is very harmonious.

On an ordinary day, He Chengyu planned to call Shang Jiang Huaiqing to go outside. The customs of Subei are different from those of the capital. Before the Chinese New Year, there will be a big market, and the people will take out the supplies they have hoarded for a year in exchange for themselves. Want something, very lively.

Fang Jiayi went out with people, and other officials also called on good friends to go out together. They didn’t have to buy anything, it was good to just join in the fun.

Someone invited He Chengyu, but he refused. He had already discussed with Jiang Huaiqing to go out together.

The person who issued the invitation teased him: “Is there another appointment with Lord Jiang?”

He Chengyu smiled but said nothing.

“I knew that was the case,” the man muttered in a low voice, “If it wasn’t for knowing your identities, everyone would doubt whether you are brothers, and brothers are not as sticky as you are.”

“Huaiqing and I saw each other like each other. Now that we are far away in Subei, we naturally need to take care of each other more.”

“Knowing that you have a good relationship, then we won’t bother, we’ll make an appointment next time.” After that, a few people left together.

He Chengyu took care of himself and waited for a long time, but before Jiang Huaiqing came out, he had to knock on the door.

“Huaiqing, the time has come, but you are not feeling well. If you are not feeling well, it will be the same if you go another day.”

The door was opened with a small crack, and Jiang Huaiqing stuck his head out: “No discomfort, but something happened, Brother Chengyu come in and talk about it.”

He Chengyu calmly observed Jiang Huaiqing, and saw that he was only in a low mood and had no other problems, so he was a little relieved.

“What’s up?”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to do what I said to Brother Chengyu,” Jiang Huaiqing walked to the table and sat down, “I’m leaving Subei.”

“Your Majesty wants to call you back?” For some reason, He Chengyu’s heart skipped a beat.

“No,” Jiang Huaiqing squeezed the cup, his eyes a little blank, “His Majesty has sent me a new task.”

When the secret order was issued, Shang Junlin didn’t say anything to death. He gave Jiang Huaiqing room to refuse, which was quite risky. Similarly, if it happened, the harvest would definitely be not small. With Jiang Huaiqing’s background, if it weren’t for Shang Jun. Rin intends to cultivate, he wants to make it through the court, no ten or twenty years is impossible.

Therefore, after receiving the secret order, Jiang Huaiqing chose to agree without thinking. He has his own things to do. If he can shorten the time, he is willing to give anything.

Jiang Huaiqing is a very decisive person. He will not regret making a decision. The only thing that makes him hesitate is He Chengyu. He and He Chengyu have thought about how to build Subei together and how to strive to be the best in the past few years. , and then went back to Beijing in good graces, and now, he is going to breach the contract.

“Can you talk to me?” He Chengyu suppressed the panic in his heart, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.”

“His Majesty’s secret decree, I can’t say.” Jiang Huaiqing shook his head.

“Okay, I won’t ask, when are you leaving?” He Chengyu paused, “This should be able to say?”

“Probably after the New Year, or maybe even before the New Year. After I leave, I need you to help me to cover up, so that no one can find out that I am not there. Fortunately, my usual presence is not high.” Jiang Huaiqing was bitter. He smiled amusedly.

“How long will you be gone? I…” He Chengyu moved his fingers, as if he wanted to hold Jiang Huaiqing’s hand on the table, but finally held back, “I’ll wait for you to come back.”

“It shouldn’t be too long, one year at most? Two years? If I can come back…” If I can come back, it will be closer to the time to clear the grievances of the teacher. If not, his name will be buried with the teacher. Bar.

“No if!” He Chengyu stood up suddenly, grabbed Jiang Huaiqing’s shoulder, and said word by word, “I’ll wait for you here, you must come back.”

After that day, Jiang Huaiqing was silent a lot. For several days, he spent several days in the place where the official office put files. He Chengyu paid attention. Most of what he read was about Beimo.

Jiang Huaiqing didn’t say anything, and He Chengyu didn’t ask. He just asked someone to find a lot of records about Beimo and send them to Jiang Huaiqing’s room.

Jiang Huaiqing felt that He Chengyu should have known something. He didn’t want to hide it from him. When he went to Mobei, he could only go on the road alone. If he really couldn’t come back, he hoped that at least one person would know what he did.

“Knock down.”

There was a knock on the door, Jiang Huaiqing opened the door, and a very eye-catching man walked in and handed Jiang Huaiqing a token.

Jiang Huaiqing took the token: “This is?”

“My lord, keep this, and my subordinates will **** my lord the whole process on the order of your noble lord.”

Jiang Huaiqing clenched the black token in his hand.

Shen Yu proposed to let Jiang Huaiqing go to Beimo. Of course, he would not do nothing. It was inconvenient for Yinlongwei to be dispatched. It happened that the manpower he had trained could come in handy, and he could also let these people go to explore the bottom of Beimo first.

“Yin Longwei said that there is an unknown force around Jiang Huaiqing, does Ayu know what’s going on?”

“Your Majesty sent the Hidden Dragon Guard beside Jiang Huaiqing?”
