Although the news of Meng Yishan's entry into the city is confidential, it cannot be concealed from those who have a heart

There is a carved window pavilion that connects with the corridor in the west corner of the back garden of the Hubu Shangshu Wang Xueshan Mansion, Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, and Yu Xinyuan sit around the fireplace, and the pavilion does not let the servants come in to serve, Wang is a junior, and he stands aside to serve tea and water.

"The Hanghu Army must not be allowed to come in," Yu Xinyuan frowned, his face was full of worry, and said: "After a big defeat in western Zhejiang, the emperor was forced to bow his head to Chen Xiyan and ask him to come out to preside over the situation. This is still temporary, as long as the luxury family soldiers and horses are repulsed, the emperor will most likely let Chen Xiyan return to his hometown. But if the Hanghu Army is allowed to enter Jiangning City, if Chen Xiyan refuses to 'sue the old man', who can bī him? If Chen Xiyan refuses to 'say goodbye to old age', our situation will be difficult......"

Yu Xinyuan couldn't care about his son being captured by the Zhejiang-Fujian army, and he couldn't protect himself at the moment, so he had to ask Wang Tian to come to Wang Xueshan's house to discuss countermeasures.

"Back then, the Qu family case was by no means Gu Wuchen and Lin Lian chasing the wind and shadows, if there was no real evidence, Gu Wuchen and Lin Lian dared to destroy the Qu family under Chen Xiyan's nose?" Wang Xueshan was forced to make peace with Gu Wuchen back then, and he knew more about the Qujia bandit case than Wang Tian and Yu Xinyuan, and he didn't think that Chen Xiyan was a soft-hearted master, in the matter of Xie Chaozhong leading the troops, he and Wang Tian had completely stood on the opposite side of Chen Xiyan, and there was no return arrow when they opened the bow, and they didn't expect Chen Xiyan to be able to treat this matter as if it hadn't happened in the future.

The relationship between the Hanghu Army and Chen Xiyan is very deep, and it will not change because Yu Xinyuan stuffed Wang Yue as a nail in the Hanghu Army, Chen Xiyan is already an assistant at this time, if the future imperial camp army is only looking at him, Chen Xiyan wants to kill the three of them, is it not an easy thing?

Wang Tian said: "Of course we know that we can't let the Hanghu army enter Jiangning City, I'm afraid that the emperor is not willing to let the Hanghu army in, but the current situation is critical, if the rebel army is pointing directly at Jiangning, and the Hanghu army can't enter Jiangning, I'm afraid that we can't be killed, and the emperor can't be helped, right?" ”

"If only the Huaixi soldiers and Jiangzhou soldiers could return to Jiangning one step earlier," Wang Xueshan said regretfully......

The Hanghu Army was next to the west of Zhejiang, so it reacted the fastest after the Huinan Army was destroyed. After the defeat of the Huinan army, Meng Yishan immediately led the army north to Linshui, and after obtaining the order, he entered the territory of Danyang within one day; He himself came to Jiangning to reply to the decree first, and his intention was nothing more than to strive for the king's merit and enter Jiangning City to assist in defending it first

As long as the Hanghu Army entered Jiangning City and was incorporated into the Imperial Camp Army, the position under the control of the Imperial Camp Army would not be able to escape from Meng Yishan's pocket.

Yue Lengqiu was in Jiangzhou and Dong Yuan was in Wuyang, a little farther away from Jiangning, I am afraid that it was only at this time that I learned the news that Jiangning was in danger, and it was more than one or two steps slower than Meng Yishan.

Of course, the Dongyang Mansion Army is the closest to Jiangning, and it can also be called jīng rui, but Lin Tingli and Lin Jian are both from the Lin clan, and Dongyang Mansion and Huaidong wear the same pants.

Not to mention letting the Dongyang Mansion army enter Jiangning City, even if it was to cross the river and enter the south bank to help, Lin Tingli would be ranked behind Dong Yuan and Yue Lengqiu.

Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, and Yu Xinyuan all knew that they couldn't let Meng Yishan lead the Hanghu Army into Jiangning, but the three of them were still at home to "avoid suspicion" for Xie Chaozhong's military affairs, even if they spoke out against the Hanghu Army entering the city, their voices could not be loud.

Wang Cha didn't speak, but just helped add water on the side.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Wang walked outside the mén, and when he saw that it was his henchman Han Bin coming, he said unhappily: "Didn't you say that you were not allowed to come and disturb?" ”

"There seem to be guests laughing in Madame's courtyard, and I thought the adults k......new," Han Bin said in a suppressed voice.

Wang raised his eyebrows, Han Bin specially came to report that Chen Ruyi should have left a male guest, not a sister who gets along with him on weekdays.

Wang married Chen Ruyi last month, and used 500 domestic servants to ride high-headed horses through the streets and alleys, which can be regarded as being in the limelight in Jiangning City. At that time, his Wang family was also in Jiangning City, and it was rumored everywhere that his father Wang Xueshan was just around the corner. Who would have thought that Xie Chaozhong would fight so badly in western Zhejiang, making him Wang Jiale extremely sad - naturally no one mentioned the matter of worshipping the prime minister and entering the cabinet, and he had to worry about fighting back against Chen Xiyan, and he couldn't even keep his current official position.

Chen Ruyi is still obedient after passing the mén, does he dislike the Wang family at this time? The king pondered in his heart, and said secretly: If this bitch does not abide by the way of a woman, give her a good face

Wang couldn't get out for a while, so he only said to Han Bin: "I know ......" and sent Han Bin away, he walked back to the pavilion, but his mind flew to Xinna's concubine Chen Ruyi, thinking about what kind of male guest would come into the house late at night?

Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, and Yu Xinyuan couldn't discuss any countermeasures around the stove, and after a while, Yu Xinyuan and Wang Tian left separately

Wang always thought of the visitors in Chen Ruyi's courtyard in his heart, and hurried over.

Wang accepted Chen Ruyi as a concubine, bought a house in the east of the palace, and opened up a residence for Chen Ruyi.

Before Chen Ruyi agreed to give Wang as a concubine, he said that he didn't want to see the faces of the Wang family, so the residence should have an independent mén court connected to the outside. Wang also lost two souls to Mí at that time, and Chen Ruyi agreed to any request, but he didn't expect it to become a hidden danger at this time.

Seeing Han Bin outside the courtyard also guarding there, Wang asked, "The guest is gone?" ”

"Not yet." Han Bin said.

"What time is it, there are still guests in the courtyard, and they want to spread it, where will my Wang family's face go?" Wang complained loudly, pushed away Mén and walked straight inside, without thinking about saving face for Chen Ruyi, thinking that if he didn't go in, the green hat would be put on his head.

The courtyard where Chen Ruyi lives is a two-story wing courtyard, the scope is not large, but the jīng is very good, the wing building encloses an atrium, downstairs is where the maid and maid live, and the upstairs is the living room, study and living room.

Wang went straight upstairs and saw a man in a green shirt sitting on the soft couch he usually sat on, and Chen Ruyi was sitting down, so he was angry, put on a cold face and hummed to Chen Ruyi: "What kind of distinguished guest is coming, and you don't let me know, and you don't think the time is wrong?" ”

"Wang Shaojun, I haven't seen you for many years, don't you miss the old friendship and want to chase away guests when you first see you?" The man in the green shirt asked with a smile.

Wang turned his face to look, and saw that the familiar face under the lamp turned out to be the extravagant Feihu who had been away from Jiangning for several years, and he was so frightened that he almost fell downstairs, grabbed the handrail of the stairs in a panic, and asked sharply: "You, you...... Are you going to assassinate this official? ”

"Wang Shaojun said with a smile, Ruyi and I are like brothers and sisters, I learned that Ruyi married you as a concubine, as a brother, how can I not come to congratulate? What am I assassinating you for? Hao Feihu smiled slightly, sat there and straightened his robe, and looked at Wang calmly, but he didn't expect to be able to use him.

"You...... Ruyi ......" Wang Yu said incoherently, his eyes were also rolling on the faces of Luxury Feihu and Chen Ruyi, the appearance of Luxury Feihu had almost scared down the stairs, and he learned that Chen Ruyi had known Luxury Feihu for a long time, and the relationship was so close that he was so shocked that he couldn't even say a whole sentence.

Chen Ruyi only came to prominence after Luxury Feihu left Jiangning, but before Luxury Feihu came to Jiangning, he was a Qingqi person in Jiangning City, Wang Wanwan never expected that Chen Ruyi would be the secret stake of the luxury family in Jiangning.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Chen Ruyi's voice was soft and glutinous, and he walked over and hugged Wang's body that was about to go limp, and said to him coquettishly, "Hasn't your Wang family always thought that the slave family was from a low background?" Didn't Xianggong also get angry with his father and mother for this? The slave family also has a hard time to say, and now most of the governors accept the slave family as righteousness, and the second son and the slave family become brothers and sisters, why is the husband unhappy? ”

Wang saw Han Bin coming upstairs from the back road, and he didn't know when he took a knife in his hand, and he didn't seem surprised by the situation in front of him, and his body really collapsed......

The rebel army of Zhejiang and Fujian pointed directly at Jiangning, and the city of Jiangning was destined to be unpeaceful.

Lin Xuwen was almost the first to know the news of Meng Yishan's entry into Jiangning.

"Meng Yishan is too greedy!" Lin Xuwen said sadly.

"If Meng Yishan leads the Hanghu army into Jiangning City, the situation is not too bad!" Huang Jinnian said.

Although there has been a curfew and the streets in Jiangning City have been cleaned, this will not prevent these high-ranking officials from visiting each other through the streets and alleys.

"Although the emperor looked at the thatched house and asked Chen Xiang to come out to preside over the overall situation, he did not punish Yu Xinyuan, Wang Xueshan, and Wang Tian, I think the emperor is still very dissatisfied with Chen Xiang in his heart, and he is just forced to bow his head due to the situation," Lin Xuwen said, "Don't say that Yu Xinyuan, Wang Xueshan, and Wang Tian will try their best to obstruct the Hanghu army from entering the city, but I am afraid that the emperor does not want the Hanghu army to enter the city." If Meng Yishan does not come to Jiangning, he can delay in the territory of Danyang Mansion, and he will always be a threat to the Zhejiang-Fujian army from the flank. Since Meng Yishan came to Jiangning, the emperor did not let the Hanghu army enter Jiangning City, but let Meng Yishan lead the Hanghu army to defend Xuanzhou or Liyang, can Meng Yishan still shirk? If the Hanghu army is defeated, the Jiangzhou army and the Huaidong soldiers and horses will not have time to rush over, and Jiang Ning will really be in danger......"

"When will the prince of Pengcheng return to Jiangning to help him?" Huang Jinnian asked.

"Jin'an will be laid on the fifth day of the first month, and the old seventeen should also go to Mingzhou to land in Mingzhou," Lin Xuwen calculated, "But the Huaidong soldiers and horses must be prepared, and it will also take time to come out of Zhedong and enter Jiangning." In terms of time, the Zhejiang-Fujian army was much more generous, and the old seventeen might not have rushed over. ”

At this time, the family came in to report that Sun Wenbing and Lin Xulu had come over.

Lin Xulu is Lin Tingli's eldest son, although he is a loose official, he has never held an official position, but stayed to deal with the affairs of the Lin family, he and Sun Wenbing walked in, rubbed their hands, and said to Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian: "This ghost weather, it feels even colder than last year, if the Huai River in the north is frozen, the situation will be terrible......

The Xu Si defense line has a strong anti-infiltration ability for the Yanhu cavalry, but Huaixi is much worse, although Tao Netg Rui holds the vortex, but as long as the upper reaches of Huaidong can be frozen, the Yanhu cavalry troops can even bypass the vortex, enter the hinterland of Huaixi to attack the city and seize the wall, and wreak havoc. There are not many obstacles from Haozhou to Dongyang.

"Rather than worrying about this, at the moment, we must beware of Dong Yuan leading soldiers and horses to fight for the merit of the king, Liu Tingzhou is loyal to the imperial court, Dong Yuan and Liu Tingzhou are together, most of the soldiers and horses of Xinyang and Haoshou will go south, and Tao Net will not guard Wuyang alone at all," Lin Xuwen said, "Dongyang still has to be more resolute......

"I will send someone back to Dongyang Mansion again," Lin Xulu said, he was also worried that his father would make a mistake, and his father had already made a mistake during the Ninglu dispute, although everyone was a family, he couldn't afford to make two mistakes in a row in major matters, "Old Seventeen should be able to get to Mingzhou in these two days, the first soldiers and horses have already entered the Qianjiang Estuary, Wen Bing and I entered the city at this time, just to tell you about it......"

"Oh, really?" Huang Jinnian became excited, he and Lin Xuwen were worried that Huaidong's main force of soldiers and horses in eastern Fujian would not be able to catch up, since Huaidong could make up tens of thousands of jīng rui in eastern Zhejiang, the initiative was still in their hands, this news was more comforting than anything else.
