Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"Jingxi is also born of him!"

But Yan Songyu smiled lightly and said:

"Girl, this old slave has never called you Your Highness since he entered the door, but in the palace, this old slave had to bow to His Highness Jingxi when he saw His Highness. This is the difference between the two of you."

These words sounded so harsh to Lichun.

She couldn't help laughing at herself:

"That's right, her mother is the Queen of Chu, and her family is the prosperous Murong clan, but my mother is just a remnant of the previous dynasty who has been lurking in the palace for 20 years and wants to assassinate the emperor. point."

At this time, Yan Songyu had finished giving the medicine for Lichun.

I have to say that the medicine carried by the old eunuch was very effective. Within half an hour after applying it, the lump on Li Chun's face disappeared, and the skin was as smooth and tender as before, and even the ruptured wound at the corner of his mouth had scabbed over.

Then, he started chasing people:

"Girl, the old slave is going to rest."

Li Chun turned around and left the room without saying a word.

……

It is undoubtedly a great joy for the entire palace to refuse the North King to accept the golden pill and to continue his life.

The second wife, Jiang Jing, and Dr. Song rushed to King Jubei's bedroom as soon as they heard the news, weeping with joy.

Even the old housekeeper Xu Erhu quietly wiped away his tears, and ordered that each handyman and servant girl be paid an extra month's salary.

The entire palace was filled with the joy of surviving after a catastrophe.

But when the King of Beibei announced that he would choose a son and daughter to be his heir in the Winter Hunting Competition more than a month later, the second wife Jiang Jing's expression was not very good.

Because she saw Jiang Qingyu holding a sword in her hand——

The famous sword Shuoyue.

The famous sword that the King of the North has treasured for a long time is worth as much as the top three magical weapons in the Meteor Pavilion!

At the celebration banquet a few days ago, the second son Jiang Qingjian asked the North King to ask for a reward through the strength of wine. He only made one request, and what he wanted was this sword.

But the North King refused.

Not only refused, but also gave it to the fourth son Jiang Qingyu in a blink of an eye.

Combined with Jiang Qingyu's recent climb to Jiangshan, and the news that the position of the son will be decided in the winter hunting competition, the second wife Jiang Jing can't help feeling a little bit of crisis.

"The position of the son of the world can only belong to Qingjian."

"Whoever wants to fight will die."

……

When Jiang Qingyu returned to Ziyan Courtyard with the servant girl Xiaoman holding the famous sword Shuoyue in her hand, what she saw was Lichun who lied that she accidentally fell and broke her lip.

Jiang Qingyu, who knew Lichun's true origin, vaguely guessed something, and didn't expose her lie, but just glanced coldly at the room where the old eunuch Yan Songyu was.

He couldn't help cursing inwardly:

"Old eunuch, the servant girl of my son is reluctant to punish her, but you have such a heavy hand on the first day of your arrival?"

"Sooner or later, I will chop off your hands too!"

At the same time, Jiang Qingyu stretched out her hand and rubbed Lichun's lips, comfortingly said:

"Where did my sister bump into it? I'm going to order someone to destroy that place."

Li Chun's pretty face blushed, and she didn't dodge it, she just took a few glances at the famous sword Shuo Yue in Xiao Man's hand, and cursed with a smile:

"My lord, there are outsiders in the yard."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyu intensified after hearing this, directly took Lichun's shoulders, and said in a domineering tone:

"What's wrong with outsiders? This is my territory!"

"Come on, I'll take you back to your room and give you the medicine myself."

"Xiao Man, you stand guard at the door, no eavesdropping or peeping is allowed!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue playfully:

"Young master, don't listen and don't look, how can people hold back?"

"or……"

"You knocked me out and took me back to the room to apply medicine. I, I believe in your son!"

Jiang Qingyu snorted coldly:

"Little girl, do you trust my fragile body?"

"Hmph, wait for you for another two years. After two years, I will show you what cruelty is!"

Xiaoman was so frightened that he immediately blocked the sword in front of him, and threatened without confidence:

"My lord, I practiced martial arts before I came to the palace, you can't beat me!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was speechless.

……

This day Jiang Qingyu slept very late, because of the presence of the old eunuch, he never dared to swim in the dark, for fear of being spotted by him.

After all, Yan Songyu is the second of the top ten eunuchs of the Chu State, and it is said that he may have touched the fourth rank of congenital.

So Jiang Qingyu spent the whole night comprehending the sword manual sealed in his memory by the old sword master, so that he could attract more sword energy into his body when he went to Qianjian Lake next time, so as to strengthen his physical body to the tenth rank of Houtian as soon as possible.

However, on the second day, Yan Songyu bid him farewell.

He said he was going to Bingzhou to visit some old friends.

But Jiang Qingyu, who personally killed Xu Xiaosi, knew in her heart that the old eunuch probably learned of Xu Xiaosi's death and went out to investigate the truth.

Jiang Qingyu wasn't too worried about this.

The torrential rain that night had already washed away most of the traces of the battle. The death of Xu Xiaosi and Xingsi seemed too coincidental, but it was hard to find any doubts.

As for the underworld...

It is true that ghosts and wild ghosts may leave loopholes in the process of gathering information, but he believes in the servant girl's ability to "Jingzhe" layout, and Yan Songyu will not trace the root cause to himself with just a little loophole.

Ziyan Courtyard.

As soon as Yan Songyu left, the old housekeeper Xu Erhu came outside the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Erhu brought bad news:

In the early hours of this morning, the Qiang cavalry that refused the North King's promise was attacked by a group of bandits a hundred miles away from the king's city, killing and injuring more than [-] people!

Fortunately, the captain of the Qiang cavalry captain who led the team was a congenital top-tier master and was extremely brave. He was still able to do a job well under the siege of three opponents of the same level, killing one and wounding two, which repelled this group of thieves!

Today, this Qiang cavalry is stationed at the foot of a hill outside the east gate, burying more than 100 dead Paoze.

After the king of rejecting the North got the news, he immediately ordered to send the army to escort the military doctor to treat the seriously injured.

But it was rejected by the Qiang people.

All the Qiang cavalry looked at the royal army with anger in their eyes.

The cavalry captain who led the team didn't say a word, but just took out the corpse of the innate first-grade bandit in public——

Someone recognized it.

This person is a lieutenant under the command of Jiang Qingzhu, the third lady of the Wangfu, named Dong Fei.

Chapter 46 The body of General Dong Fei must be brought back

Yesterday, the King of Rejecting the North had ordered that, except for the eldest son Jiang Qingshu who was far away in the capital, each of his children would lead an army to the north to participate in this year's winter hunting competition, and determine the position of the son according to their own gains .

before today.

Among the six princes and ladies in the palace, only the second son Jiang Qingjian and the third lady Jiang Qingzhu have military power of one thousand and eight hundred respectively.

Both of them have joined the army since they were young. They have fought on the battlefield for many years, killed countless enemies, and each has a military post.

Both of them have a deep understanding of formations, and have been working with their subordinates for many years. They are also the only two favorites to win the winter hunting competition this time.

But just as the Winter Hunting Competition was approaching, a first-rank innate lieutenant died in the Green Bamboo Camp of the Third Miss.

And it died at the hands of the Qiang people.

It has only been less than 30 years since the Qiang people entered the state of Chu, and the blood feud of the older generation is not so easily erased, so even though Dong Fei deserved his death, many people in the Bingzhou Military Department insisted that they met him halfway. Bandits are self-directed and performed by the Qiang people.

Several elderly veterans even put on their armor and went to the east gate, saying that they wanted to kill the Qiang people again with their knives and knelt down and begged for mercy!

And the Qiang cavalry also refused to show weakness, and vowed to seek justice for the hundreds of robes who died in battle.

King Jubei sent people to reprimand several old men in the military department, and sent additional people to protect the remaining Qiang cavalry. At the same time, he announced that he had handed over the matter to Han Chan, the commander of the dark guard, for investigation.

……

Ziyan Courtyard.

After learning the bad news, Jiang Qingyu didn't rush to the east gate immediately.

For him, it was really a headache to appease a strange and angry Qiang cavalry.

But it is not difficult to guess that this matter was mostly written by Jiang Jing, the second wife of the palace.

After all, the Qiang cavalry that should belong to him has been lost, and his fighting spirit has declined, and the third sister Jiang Qingzhu has also lost a first-rank lieutenant general. From the surface, the only strong contender for the position of the son is left. a person--

Jiang Jing's son, Jiang Qingjian.

"But how did Erniang know that my father sent me a Qiang cavalry?"

Jiang Qingyu couldn't figure it out.

Youzhou and Bingzhou also had normal troop changes in the past.

The Qiang army in Bingzhou is not limited to this one, and this group of bandits must have received accurate information in advance to attack with such precision.

"But no one eavesdropped on my father's secret conversation with me yesterday, and my father didn't have time to disclose the ownership of this Qiang cavalry. It stands to reason that the news cannot be leaked."

"unless……"

Jiang Qingyu narrowed her eyes and said to herself:

"The person who took Wang Ling to Youzhou to dispatch troops for his father, and Erniang have long been in collusion!"

The recruitment of thousands of troops, especially the elite cavalry, must have a document from the military department or reject the king's order from the king himself.

As far as he knew, the dispatch of this cavalry did not go through the military department.

In the entire palace, there were not many people who were qualified to pass orders for the Northern King, and they were all members of the dark guards. Among them, Han Chan, the leader of the dark guards, did the most work of this kind.

The peak of Haoyue Realm, the second-rank Xiantian, is faintly stronger than the other three second-rank Xiantians in the palace.

"If this person and Erniang get together secretly..."

"That's going to be tricky."

King Jubei has announced that he has handed over the attack on the Qiang cavalry to Han Chan for investigation!

If Han Chan was involved in this matter, then not only will he not find any clues in this investigation, but he will try his best to cover up the truth!

"Looks like I have to go to General Drunk to find girl Jingzhe."

Only by relying on the information channels of the underworld can he find out the truth before Han Chan destroys the evidence.

Jiang Qingyu sighed.

Han Chan is in control of all the hidden guards in the palace. If he is really on the side of his second brother Jiang Qingjian, then his chances of winning this time in Winter Hunting Competition will be greatly reduced.

As for the third sister Jiang Qingzhu...

She only has two talents under her command, and now she has lost one of them, which can be regarded as an early exit.

……

Different from Jiang Qingyu, Jiang Qingzhu, the third lady of the palace, rushed outside the east gate with [-] Qingqi under her command as soon as she got the news.

She went to collect Dong Fei's body.
