Shui Xin held Yun Chenxiao's innocent face with a smile, rubbed her tightly locked brows and said, "I'll get back the antidote for you, but instead of thanking me, you're here to interrogate me? How can there be such a reason in the world? "

Yun Chenxiao grabbed Shui Xinyou's hands, pressed her on the bed instead, and said, "Have you ever seen such an interrogator? Come on, what the hell are you doing? Otherwise, I'll be lynching..." Reaching out to Shui Xinyou's armpit, he wanted to tickle her.

Shui Xinyou couldn't resist this trick the most, before Yun Chenxiao arrived, she had already begged for mercy repeatedly: "General Xiaoyun, please be merciful."

Yun Chenxiao lifted up her robe pretending to be serious, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said solemnly: "Let me go, just say it!"

Seeing Yun Chenxiao's serious face, Shui Xinyou couldn't help joking, climbed onto Yun Chenxiao's shoulder, and said softly: "There is no conspiracy. I just want to see that Miss Tang is a master at cooking, you If you don't change your gluttonous nature, just put her by your side and take care of your food."

Seeing that she was out of shape, Yun Chenxiao made a gesture to scratch her away again, Shui Xinyou hurriedly stopped her and said, "Most of the Jingchu army is the former troops of Yun Zhengting and Xie Ziliang. Although father and son are fighting, it is inevitable that they have different ambitions." Then Xie's army and your Yun's army, I'm afraid there will be more quarrels. If Yun... If your father is here, with his prestige and meritorious service, you may be able to hold the line. But you are a fledgling, have no military achievements, and you are a woman I am afraid that all the soldiers will not accept your control. Therefore, you should deploy more of your own people. Although Tang Xiaohan is stubborn, he is very insightful, resourceful and decisive, and is a good counselor. She She is the head of the Tang Sect again, if you keep her in your camp, the Tang Sect should have some scruples..." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yun Chenxiao with a resentful expression, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Everything is going to happen. , isn't it all for you?"

"Hmph, what a bunch of nonsense! It's clear..." Yun Chenxiao swallowed halfway through her words, and her eyes were covered with mist and water vapor.The nightmare that was originally hazy in my heart suddenly became clear and terrifying.She wanted to dodge, but unconsciously, a cold air spread from her heart. In an instant, the coldness spread all over her body, like a severe winter----people's hearts are unpredictable.She didn't want to use that word.Flowing water from west to east, we will meet each other in the end; cloud travel is uncertain, and you can still fall into a dream.Facing Shui Xinyou, she is willing to treat Shui Xinyou with the heart of a child, with sincerity and the truth, but sometimes people's hearts are thinner than clouds and water, and it is too difficult to figure out.The malice of the human heart is even more unpredictable and unspeakable.

Yun Chenxiao knew that Shui Xinyou hated Yun Zhengting for harming his mother, and also knew that Tang Xiaohan hated Yun Zhengting for destroying his family.That's why she didn't want them to meet in private.She is very clear about Yun Zhengting's grievances with Shui Yuancheng, Lin Qingying, and Tang Sect.With the mind and martial arts of the two of them now, if there is a plan, how can Yun Zhengting have any room to change it? Shui Xinyou is concerned about Yun Chenxiao's love for his father, fearing that she will be sad, so naturally he does not want to do it himself.This trick kills with a knife, and puts Tang Xiaohan in his own barracks, as if a hidden thunder has been planted beside Yun Zhengting, which can be triggered at any time.Yun Chenxiao secretly sighed in her heart: her father is the backbone of the Chu army, but she wants to get rid of it quickly.Isn't she afraid of military mutiny? Isn't she afraid of Dongshan collapse? Isn't she afraid of chaos in the world? Is it worth it just for a Yunzheng Pavilion? If so, is he also a pawn in her hand?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Chenxiao's mind, but Shui Xinyou, as always, stared at Yun Chenxiao with a slight smile from the beginning to the end.That gaze was extremely calm and gentle, without any impurities or dodges.Yun Chenxiao let out a long sigh, hugged her into her arms, and said softly: "I'm the one who worries too much. I hope it's me who worry too much, it must be me!"

Shui Xinyou responded with the same strength, and also hugged her and said: "Be careful of overthinking, it will hurt your soul and body, and make you even sadder."

Yun Chenxiao nodded, with a vague smile on the corner of her mouth.Shui Xinyou's already red earlobe is like a delicate cherry that touches the heart, Yun Chenxiao swallowed and said: "With You'er thinking for me, I can sit back and relax."

A few days later, there was a decree from Zhongshu, sealed with purple mud, and sent to the southern army station in Chengdu Town.At the same time, Shui Xinyou also received a yellow secret letter with the emperor's private seal.To Shui Xinyou's surprise, the emperor did not order the left and right servants of the Ministry of War to lead the false title of the governor of the Zhennan Army, but ordered Yang Shicheng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, to also be the governor of the Zhennan Army. Five hundred officers and imperial soldiers, carrying tiger talismans, seals and ribbons, winter clothes, armor and other rewards, set off from the capital and went to the middle of Shu to meet them.

Shui Xinyou had heard about this new leader of the Shu army, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Yang Shicheng, from Huo Hengyang.It is said that this person was born as a Jinshi, and when he was in charge of the Department of Criminal Affairs, he was upright and upright. He was jealous of evil and had offended many dignitaries.Later, he successively served as the head of the Fang Department of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, a member of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Officials, a doctor of the Ministry of War, and the right servant of the Ministry of War. He was Huo Hengyang's right-hand man.It seems that for this action, the emperor reused this person only after hearing Huo Hengyang's recommendation.Luo Feng and Yang Shicheng, one is a disciple of Murong Guang, and the other is a subordinate of Huo Hengyang, both are brave people who can take on important positions.When fighting against the same enemy, they can restrain each other under the battle, so that the power of one side will not become bigger.

The 26 guards of the capital guard the capital, which is the army under the direct control of the emperor.Excluding the reclamation guards, garrison guards, Jinwu guards, etc., the emperor can mobilize only a few thousand garrison guards.This time the emperor dispatched five hundred imperial soldiers from the 26 guards of the capital to Shu.

Chapter 89

This big military move by the imperial court naturally alarmed Xue Yanqing, Prince An who had lived in the middle of Shu for a long time.Xue Yanqing had received the imperial edict a month ago.The emperor's tone was not good, and in the imperial edict, he blatantly reprimanded the vassal king's various actions in disregard of the laws of the country, and then ordered the vassal king to rectify the palace, restrain the officials, not interfere with local government orders, not intervene in the local military, and not to levy aggressively.

After Xue Yanqing received the imperial order, he was in panic all day long, and that night he drew up a statement, claiming to be a capital offender, and willing to accept the imperial order and hand over all authority.It's just that Xue Yanqing is now over seventy years old, and he has been farming mountains and fishing lakes for many years without caring about the world.Now the person in power in the palace is Xue Yanqing's eldest son, Xue Jun.

This son of the world usually fights with chickens and lackeys, looks for flowers and asks willows, and behaves like a dude.After receiving the imperial edict, he didn't care about it, and kept his father's apology form privately, turned around and asked the palace chief Shi beside him: "King Ning in the south, and King An in the east, have you entered the apology form?"

Shi Honghui, the head of the palace, is over half a hundred years old, with gray hair. He is an old minister serving the two dynasties in the palace.At this time, he cupped his hands and said in a respectful voice: "As far as I know, the two princes have not acted since they received His Majesty's order, and I have not heard that they expressed their apology."

"Father is getting old after all, so he is restless because of this trouble." Xue Jun shook the apology form in his hand and said with a smile: "Take it."

Hong Hui took it and asked, "Is it burned or..."

"Presumptuous! Hong Hui, you are more and more good at working!" Xue Jun reprimanded: "You dare to burn father's handwriting privately? Put it on the shelf."

Hong Hui nodded in agreement, and Xue Jun ordered again: "Although we can't turn everything into an army, we have to guard against his bluffing. I don't think the court is bluffing this time, and I'm afraid it's going to be serious. A few days ago, it sent the Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Shicheng came to take over the Zhennan Army. Naluofeng has always regarded himself as an official of the imperial court and did not cooperate with us. This time, he has taken refuge in the central center. In this way, it is tantamount to handing over the Sichuan gate. Hong Changshi, our palace can use it How many soldiers are there?"

Hong Hui said: "My lord, we have more than ten thousand soldiers at full strength, and many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. If the imperial court wants to use force, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Xue Jun scolded, "Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. If the court uses force against Sichuan first, then King Ning and King Ding will be next. Is there any reason for my two uncles to stay still? The second uncle will force Ma Zhuang Well, fourth uncle is as rich as a country, so I don't believe that they will let Xue... hmph, let the emperor successfully withdraw the domain."
