The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 189

[Chapter 187]

Shen Yu sat up 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 and stood up. , got up and tidied up his clothes: “I’m going to have 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 is already waiting for Your Majesty outside, Your Majesty, please come here. “Eunuch Meng didn’t know the specific details, knowing that this matter could not be delayed, he was busy leading the way for Shang Jun.

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

“Yes.”

After a year of training, Shen Yu’s people in Zhuangzi are now able to take care of themselves, and they won’t be checked at all. It’s easy to deliberately withhold news.

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 Xingbu, and the traces of these people’s activities also revolve around the prison of Xingbu, 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 be defeated by one piece.

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

Shen Yu didn’t drop the sunspot anymore, but looked at the chessboard and asked, “Who does your Majesty think will win?”

“Looking at the situation, Bai Zi has a high chance of winning, and the sunspot is surrounded by many, and there is no way to retreat.”

“It just looks like, If I think that the sunspot can make a comeback, it really depends on who wins, neither the black nor the white one, but me, the chess player, right?”

“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.

“Let’s see if there are any survivors, and by the way, check around, don’t let anyone slip away.”

“Yes, my lord.”

After packing up everything, 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 look at them. No suspicious people were found.

” They are wandering outside, and the people behind the scenes can only watch what they want to do.”

Shang Junlin turned to look at Shen Yu, their eyes met, 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 it is no longer dangerous?”

“Don’t say, when there are more patrols, there are fewer thieves. This time in previous years. , almost every day, thieves are sent to the yamen, but there are not a few cases this year.”

“If you don’t say I didn’t notice it, it’s true.” The

court did not disclose that the people did not know what happened outside. In his impression, the leader of the traitor, King Yue, has been arrested, his forces have been disintegrated, all problems have been resolved, and this year can have 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 sent the invitation teased him: “Do you have an appointment with Lord Jiang again?”

He Chengyu smiled but said nothing.

“I knew it was like this,” 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.

” In Subei, it is natural to take care of each other more.”

“Knowing that you have a good relationship, then we will not disturb, and we will 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 to another day.” The

door was opened with a small crack, and Jiang Huaiqing stuck his head out: “No discomfort, but If

something happens, brother Chengyu come in and talk about it.” He Chengyu

calmly observed Jiang Huaiqing, seeing that he was only in a low mood, there was no other problem, so he was a little relieved.

“What’s wrong?”

“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?” Yes, 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, he gave Jiang Huaiqing room to refuse, and this was a risk. It is quite big. Similarly, if it is successful, the harvest will definitely not be small. With Jiang Huaiqing’s background, if it is not for Shang Junlin’s intention to cultivate, he wants to make it in the court, and it is impossible for ten or twenty years.

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.”

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

“Okay, I won’t ask, when are you leaving?” He Chengyu paused, “Is it possible to say this?”

“Probably after the New Year, or maybe before the New Year, after I leave, I need you to help me lay the groundwork. Cover, so that no one can find out that I am not there, fortunately, my usual sense of presence is not high.” Jiang Huaiqing smiled bitterly.

“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, at most a year .

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.

“No ifs!” He Chengyu stood up abruptly, 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 for several days. He Chengyu paid attention to the place where the official office put the files. 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?”

“Your Excellency, keep this, and your subordinates will escort you all the way at your command.”

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 Yinlongwei beside Jiang Huaiqing?”
