Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

She was afraid that Zhao Qingce would make her lose everything again.

She couldn't control her thoughts, thinking of the bloody and terrifying scenes in her previous life, those moments when she was helpless and panicked. The only thing that could comfort her was the hand that comforted her.

Big and gentle.

Shen Yuan indulged in it.

Xiao Xingyun stroked the tears on Shen Yuan's face with his fingers and looked at her blankly: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Shen Yuan choked and couldn't speak, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

Xiao Xingyun pretended to be relaxed and narrowed his eyes: "I thought you wouldn't cry in front of me even if the sky fell."

Shen Yuan couldn't care less about being embarrassed now, she just wanted to cry happily.

"There is someone in the court who is recruiting troops from Wu Enemy from the Western Regions with the intention of treason. The Privy Council secretly dispatched people to investigate." Xiao Xingyun tried to change the subject further, "I suspect that it was not Wu Enemy who was recruiting troops from beginning to end, but this Zhao Zhao. Easy policy."

In order to prevent Shen Yuan from becoming suspicious, Xiao Xingyun added: "He has always wanted to kill me, not just this moment."

After hearing what he said, Shen Yuan immediately calmed down and asked: "You mean, starting a war with the imperial army in the name of Liu Daofeng was never to defeat the imperial army, but to divert the tiger away from the mountain and force you to this point. This situation of fighting alone?”

Xiao Xingyun didn't expect Shen Yuan to be so smart. He nodded happily: "Everything he did was for me. I have done many things to hinder him over the years, and I have become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh."

"Has he given up on the migrant army led by Liu Daofeng?" Shen Yuan was a little afraid.

I believe, "That's tens of thousands of troops."

Xiao Xingyun nodded: "It's only tens of thousands of people. He has great ambitions. He wants to use King Rui's power to unite the Northern Huns."

"Northern Xiongnu?" Shen Yuan didn't expect this at all.

She had never been able to figure out why Zhao Qingce had to join forces with Prince Rui before. She couldn't imagine what value Prince Rui had, but now she understood everything.

It has never been an illusory Sun and Moon Pavilion, but a real fan of King Rui who has a close relationship with the Northern Huns.

"Yes, I attacked the Southern Huns. Now the Huns are criticizing me verbally. The Northern Huns will seize this opportunity, and Zhao Qingce will not give up this opportunity."

"If the Northern Huns attack us, will they be in Jinzhou?" Shen Yuan became anxious, "There will be many troops stationed there by then. What if Taoxian County's logistics supply is insufficient?"

The issue of supply has always been an important issue for the military. Although there is a natural rice field in Taoxian County, the population is too small after all, and the rice fields are only self-sufficient. It is far from enough to rely on Taoxian County to support such a large army. If you add the rich Tanzhou, maybe there will be some opportunities. However, under the control of Prince Rui, Tanzhou would definitely not provide logistics for Xiao Xingyun.

Xiao Xingyun thought about it and said calmly: "If a fight really breaks out, I will give up Jinzhou."

Shen Yuan looked at him in disbelief: "You can't give up Jinzhou. If you give up, what will the people of Taoxian County do?"

Xiaotu glared at him angrily, as if looking at some ungrateful and ruthless villain.

He couldn't help teasing her: "Why, the bird-headed military advisor doesn't agree?"

Sink

Yuan was in no mood to joke with him, "Are you really going to give up on Jinzhou?"

"The terrain of Jinzhou is flat and easy to attack but difficult to defend. The people should be dismissed early and the troops should be withdrawn early. On the contrary, the place that should be defended most is the thirteen counties of Beiyou." He pointed out the key point, "Fighting for one city is short-sighted. The long-term strategy is to get down to the traffic fortress.”

"Twelve counties of Beiyou?" Shen Yuan looked at him, "Will the Huns attack there?"

"It won't happen now, but it will definitely happen in the future." Xiao Xingyun looked around, "The Huns also have great ambitions. They want to capture the twelve counties of Beiyou, go straight to Kyoto, and destroy the Zhao... This is what they want of."

Shen Yuan sighed with emotion at this man's far-sightedness.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"You just said that the Privy Council sent someone to investigate General Wu. Even you know this news. It's impossible that...that person named Zhao Qingce doesn't know. In this case, how can the person who investigated Go back alive?" Shen Yuan was puzzled, "Shouldn't things like the dark faction be kept secret? Why is it so common knowledge now?"

"Everyone must know that as long as the person investigating is dead, then the dirty water of guilty conscience and murder will naturally be poured on General Wu." A fierce light flashed in Xiao Xingyun's eyes, "Even if the person investigating does not die, the Privy Council itself will Take action."

Xiao Xingyun curled his lips slightly, "This move is to confirm General Wu's rebellion."

Shen Yuan was startled, her mouth opened and speechless.

"What do you mean?" Shen Yuan looked at him, "Could it be that General Wu doesn't want to rebel? But he made such a big move, recruiting troops, and setting up elaborate arrangements... Didn't he want to rebel? "

Xiao Xingyun shook his head, "He is just

He was not the scapegoat, he did all the recruiting, placement, and work. "

Shen Yuan stared with big eyes: "You mean, Zhao Qingce is operating all this secretly?"

"Yes." Xiao Xingyun's eyes fell to the waterside in the distance, "General Huo from the Southern Xinjiang, General Wu from the Western Region, and General Shen from Liaoyuan all fought with Zhao Mang to conquer the world. They were loyal and loyal, even if they were dissatisfied. Today’s little emperor is ruling with rebellion in his heart, but he will never unite with the foreign enemies of the Huns... There is no one else but him who dares to unite with the foreign enemies of the Huns.”

After his reminder, Shen Yuan suddenly understood.

She also looked around to make sure there was no unusual person around.

They were sitting at the very back of the shop, with no customers around. People were coming and going at the pier, the boatmen were shouting one after another, and the vendors were making noisy noises. From such a long distance, no one could hear what they were talking about.

At this time, a group of people came to the waterside. They wore armor that covered their faces and exposed their thighs, and stood not far away to patrol.

Xiao Xingyun took a look at the clothes of these people, got closer to Shen Yuan, and whispered: "This should be a caravan transporting goods."

He explained to the French horns on their horses: "The commerce of small counties is underdeveloped, and traveling merchants pay very little money to coachmen. Most coachmen are only willing to do part-time labor, just as coolies."

Shen Yuan listened to him attentively, and at the same time, his eyes unconsciously fell on the two men in black at the next table. They sat opposite each other but did not speak.

Shen Yuan asked absently: "In other words, they have to recruit new drivers every time they go to a place?"

Xiao Xingyun nodded and continued: "Caravans usually offer high prices to local government agencies.

If you go out and seek asylum, and then hire a few cheap rickshaw drivers to work as coolies, you can get huge profits at low cost and low risk. "

Shen Yuan understood what he meant, observed it carefully, and said: "Since the water route is impassable, and the land route is easy to be assassinated by assassins, and it is impassable, then it will be okay for us to follow the caravan's horses, right?"

Xiao Xingyun looked at her: "There's no problem, it's just——"

Shen Yuan didn't know why, "What's wrong?"

"Need to put on a disguise."
