The Chai family didn't make any big moves for a while, and Zhao Yougong was a little tired of staying in the Taiji Palace, so he changed into civilian clothes and walked out of the palace leisurely. For this kind of thing, Mu Niangzi will definitely not let go, and she has stayed enough of the boring days in the palace. It's just that Mu Niangzi is always followed by a Yue Laosan, which is really a bit of a bad scenery.

Yue Laosan is a very simple and honest person, he has always been a competent bodyguard and part-time thug, Mu Niangzi has punished many people over the years, Yue Laosan has made great contributions. The wooden lady is dressed in a blue robe, holding a folding fan in her hand, like a beautiful son, but Yue Laosan is wearing a black robe, with wide sleeves, a pinch of yellow hair on the top of her head as if she has not washed it for several months, carrying a handful of crocodile scissors, and looking at the west with mung bean eyes, it is really worthy of the name of the fierce god.

"It's been a long time since I've been out for a walk, where are we going?" Mu Wanqing didn't have any goals, but she knew that Zhao Yougong was not the kind of person who wandered around casually, and sure enough, Zhao Yougong smiled faintly, "Let's go to Beauty Street, the rebels attacked the city fiercely a few days ago, and the bazaar was damaged to a great extent, and I don't know how it is recovering now." ”

Beauty Street is definitely the most prosperous market in Chang'an, after several years of development, it is not an exaggeration to say that Beauty Street is the most prosperous market in the Great Song Dynasty, on this long street, there is a prosperous business during the day, and there will be a night market at night, in short, but when the time comes, the street will not calm down. Walking on the streets of Beauty Street, although the degree of prosperity and liveliness is much smaller than in previous years, the recovery is not bad. The pedestrians on the road were respectful of Zhao Yougong and the others, not because they knew Zhao Yougong, but because the Yue Laosan next to him was too bluffing, and he was not a good person at first glance. As he walked, Zhao Yougong felt that something was wrong with the eyes around him, and when he looked back, Yue Daxia was playing with his steel slag beard towards others with his cheeks. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yougong really wanted to send Yue Laosan back to his grandmother's house with one kick, with this apprentice here, there will be no lack of attention wherever he goes.

When I was about to reach the Moon Tower, I suddenly heard a crisp shout from overhead, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what about this, why did you run out at this time?" ”

Looking up, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, isn't this the second lady of the Zhu family? I saw Zhu Fengying dressed in a white Luo yarn, and her long hair was combed into a braid, which looked simple and neat, but elegant and noble. Just a little tired from walking, Mu Niangzi shrugged her shoulders and raised her hand to say hello, and then led Yue Lao San swaggered in. Zhu Erniangzi is a restless lord when she is young, and after moving to Chang'an, she often messes with the local snake Ah Jiu, so she has developed a fierce temperament, but the character of the second lady hates the wood woman, many times when Zhu Lian counts the second lady, the wood girl will come forward to protect it, and after a long time, the relationship between several people has become close. In the private room, tea had already been prepared, Mu Wanqing was not polite, put down the folding fan, and moistened her throat, "Second lady, why do you have the leisure to run to the market, be careful that the one in the palace knows and comes to you again!" ”

What Mu Wanqing said is not false at all, in the past two years, Mrs. Zhu has been worried about her sister's affairs, seeing that Zhu Fengying is getting older and older, Zhu Lian thought about quickly finding a mother-in-law for her sister, and several young people with comparable conditions were also found, but all of them were rectified by Zhu Erniang. Especially Jiao Lin, the son of Jiao Zuofang, the head of the household, Jiao Lin is twenty years old, and he can be described as a talent, with excellent character and rough martial arts, and has a very good reputation in Chang'an. But after Jiao Lin met Zhu Fengying a few times, she began to hide from Zhu Erniang and left, Zhu Lian asked Jiao Zuofang to discuss marriage, but the old waiter was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, anyway, he didn't agree. How did Zhu Fengying rectify Jiao Lin and others, Zhu Lian didn't know, anyway, since then, the second lady of the Zhu family has gained a well-known nickname, and Chang'an is worried. The dignified princess's own sister has a ghostly name, which is ridiculous when you think about it. Originally, this year, Zhu Lian was determined to solve this trouble no matter what, but the war was anxious, and this matter was delayed, but Zhu Lian still strengthened the monitoring of his sister, lest this little ancestor make any trouble.

Listening to the wood woman's joke for a while, Zhu Erniang didn't care at all, held her chin and smiled happily, "Sister Wan'er, don't scare me, I have something to do when I come out this time, Sister Cui asked me to help keep an eye on the market materials." ”

"Yo, there's really something serious" At this time, Zhao Yougong also walked up slowly, and as soon as he entered the house, he stepped aside, and drank the tea with a golden knife, "Tell me, you are staying here, do you find anything?" ”

At least Zhao Yougong doesn't think that the second lady can find anything, just stay in the Moon Tower like this, what can she find? Unexpectedly, Zhu Erniang's apricot eyes widened, and she snorted, "It's too much to look down on, the price of rice and grain has been getting higher and higher recently." Xiaomei also inquired clearly, recently there have been more and more people buying rice and grain on the south side of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road, and it is estimated that it has a lot to do with the rebels. However, the situation near Chang'an is much better, and the situation is not very serious. ”

Zhao Yougong couldn't help but be a little impressed by Zhu Fengying, tilted his body and stared at Zhu Fengying, "I didn't expect you to have some real skills, so you can tell me, why did the rebels buy rice grain, their grain storage is enough to support a period of time." ”

"Where can the little sister guess, anyway, there is a shortage of grain, if it is not a shortage of grain, why buy rice and grain at a high price?" Zhu Fengying suddenly revealed her original form, Zhao Yougong smiled, too lazy to tease Zhu Erniang. However, he still fell into deep thought, judging from the information obtained from all sides, I am afraid that the matter of Chai's purchase of rice grain will not be fake, is Chai really short of food? Not necessarily, Zhao Yougong thinks this possibility is very small, but why does the Chai family still want to do this? How much rice grain can the Chai family collect, I'm afraid it won't be too much, this self-confidence Zhao Yougong still has, the people in Guanzhong still recognize the **** very much, coupled with the propaganda of the Qin Palace, the people are very resistant to the Chai family, not to mention that Chai Yonghao fought all the way to Xianyang, and it was even more difficult to write a series of evil things, and the people gritted their teeth with hatred for the Chai family. I know I can't do it, but it's not like Chai Keyan's style at all, what kind of trick is this woman going to play?

After resting for a while, Zhao Yougong got up and left, and before leaving, he didn't forget to instruct, "Second girl, don't be crazy outside for too long, just go back, your sister is worried, and don't run out alone in the future, you know?" ”

Zhu Erniang stuck out her tongue and gave an answer. Leaving the Moon Tower, Mu Wanqing smiled with interest, "Thief, what is the mind of our second girl, I'm afraid you won't understand." What the hell do you think, are you going to spend it like this? "Why Zhu Fengying has been reluctant to marry all these years is just waiting for an answer, Zhao Yougong knows this, Zhu Lian also knows, but Zhao Yougong has never answered positively. Now that he was questioned by Mu Wanqing, obviously he couldn't hide, Zhao Yougong shook his head and looked at the somewhat sparse clouds, "Wan'er, can't you see it, whether it's me or the eldest lady, I don't want the second girl to fall in, and coming to the Qin Palace, it may not be a blessing, you should know this!" ”

After that, Zhao Yougong continued to walk forward, leaving Mu Wanqing alone still thinking about these words. Perhaps, what the thief said is really right, especially during this time, how much pressure the women of the Qin Palace are carrying, and the matter of the jade toad slave, it shows that the Qin Palace is not a blessed land, which is also the reason why Zhu Lian does not want the second lady to continue to enter the Qin Palace. It's just an emotional thing, which is so easy to say clearly, Zhu Lian and the thief think so, but the second girl may not think so.

All the way to the south, unconsciously came to the maple forest, now the maple forest is still green, but the autumn wind has been swept away, and it will not be long before this place will be red. Not far from the maple forest to the west, is the prestigious Ganye Temple, before the unitary, a round of bells rings, startling a piece of birds. Walking on the mountain path, seeing that she was about to reach the Ganye Temple, Mu Wanqing stopped.

To this day, Mu Wanqing actually has a feeling that she doesn't know how to face Qin Hongmian, but Zhao Yougong has a relaxed expression, a woman like Qin Hongmian is destined not to be a nun, no matter how much she cultivates, what she cultivates is only the skin, and she can't cultivate the heart, otherwise it would be impossible to kill a few days ago. patted Mu Wanqing on the shoulder and whispered, "Go ahead, what's there to worry about, she's not a man-eating tiger, what else can she do with us?" Besides, she is injured after all, so it makes sense that we have to go and see it! ”

The bell of the setting sun, I don't know who is greeting, in the simple and simple room, a table, an incense case, a bed, there is a wooden fish on the incense table, but the wooden fish is stained with dust, it can be seen that the owner of the room has rarely knocked on the wooden fish. At the window sat a woman with long hair, holding not dust, but a sword shining with cold light. Just like Zhao Yougong said, Qin Hongmian was born with six impure roots, and he couldn't break the grievances of Hongchen, and he had been in Ganye Temple for a long time, and he was reluctant to have the sword in his hand. The host of the temple is also reluctant to shave Qin Hongmian, what are you kidding, a woman who studies killing all day long, dare to enter the Buddhism?

Bang bang, there was a knock on the door, Qin Hongmian didn't open the door, just asked lightly, "It's Wan'er, I knew you would come, don't worry, my mother is fine!" ”

Zhao Yougongton thought it was funny, a woman like Qin Hongmian was really rare, obviously she couldn't be a nun, and she still lived and died in other people's Ganye Temple, saying that she was a monk, it was better to eat and drink together. Mu Wanqing didn't push the door, Zhao Yougong helped reach out and push away and strode in, looked at the room furnishings, and couldn't help but sigh in surprise, "Qin Nuxia, I didn't expect you to really stay, but I didn't expect this king!" ”

Qin Hongmian was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Yougong, put down the sword in his hand, stretched out his hand to signal Mu Wanqing to come over, took Mu Wanqing's hand, and said with some ill intentions, "Wan'er, don't be stupid, the situation in Guanzhong is not good now, don't give some people a funeral." If it really doesn't work, my mother will take you back to the valley, and you won't have to worry about it all day. Also, if someone bullies you, tell your mother, your mother can't spare her! ”

Qin Hongmian was naturally referring to Zhu Niangzi in her words, but the wooden girl quickly shook her head, "Mother, what are you talking about, Sister Zhu, they are very good to the children, and the officials are also very good to me, you don't have to worry." It's you, alone in Ganye Temple, you have to be more careful. ”

Listening to the dialogue between Qin Hongmian mother and daughter, Zhao Yougong always felt that something was not right, how did he feel that it was a criticism conference? The sun was getting lower and lower, and when evening fell, Zhao Yougong also embarked on the way back to the palace. Qin Hongmian leaned against the stone wall, feeling a slight coolness, watching the backs of the two of them become more and more ethereal, and finally some smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth, this Zhao Yougong is really the same as he was back then, but the power on his body is getting more and more powerful. After staying in Ganye Temple for a long time, he will be more or less influenced by it, and now Qin Hongmian has a lot less anger, adding a little indifference, this life is destined to not be able to intersect with this man, maybe looking and guarding is enough.

Time is in a hurry, no one can stop the pace of the years, it has been eight days since the withdrawal of troops, Lin Chong is stationed in Hezhong Mansion, and he feels very uncomfortable, because there is no chance to act until now. Just when he couldn't bear it anymore, Chang'an sent a secret letter, which ordered Lin Chong to carry out operations in the near future, seeing this order, Lin Chong was somewhat excited, and immediately found Yang Zhi and Xiao Yunwu by his side and discussed the next battle plan.

In fact, during this time, everyone has been thinking about how to cut off food, Xiao Yunwu suggested, "General, if we attack Fenglingdu directly with our troops, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, once the attention of the rebels is aroused, it will be a little difficult to sneak attack Fenglingdu in the future." Therefore, the last general felt that it was better to attack Juxian first, most of the grain and grass of the army in Huayin County were in Juxian, if we succeeded in the sneak attack and destroyed the baggage of Juxian, the rebels must mobilize a large amount of grain and grass in Fenglingdu in a short time. We can wait patiently, as long as the rebels' baggage is transported from the south bank to the north bank, we will have the opportunity to destroy this batch of grain and grass halfway, in addition, the ships prepared before can also attack from the downstream towards Fenglingdu, many of the small boats can store more fire-starting things, as long as we cooperate properly, we can destroy most of the rebels' grain and grass in a battle. ”

Lin Chong smiled and nodded, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, just do it according to General Xiao's method, General Yang, how about you attack Juxian?" ”

Yang Zhizheng couldn't ask for it, where would he refuse, so he immediately got up and took the order. (To be continued.) )
