For Huang

The connection between Su Yunzhi and Gong Qing is very close.Those sons and daughters' love has been reduced to a short sentence. Most of the content of the letter is actually about the situation in the two places, which is their code word written in English.However, it would take a few days to travel from the capital to the northwest, even at a fast pace, and no matter how close the connection was, it was no match for the distance between the two places.Therefore, Su Yunzhi and Gong Qing need to inform each other of their plans in advance.

This means that every decision made by Su Yunzhi is actually related to how things should develop on Gong Qing's side.They must be extremely cooperative.Therefore, Su Yunzhi seems to be messing around, even Tai Yuanjia who is on her side feels that she seems to be very arbitrary when making some decisions, as if on a whim, but in fact she has always kept the big picture in her heart Obviously, she has already planned everything.

Su Yunzhi must control the situation within a small range.In this way, Gong Qing, who is far away in the northwest, will always be able to take the lead.

this point is very important.

Therefore, in the first ten days before the imperial guards surrounded Xie's mansion, Gong Qing had already received the news in this regard.Although English has not been used in these years, the two did not let it go to waste.Even if such a letter fell into the hands of others, most people would not be able to understand it.

Maids are not allowed to serve in the barracks.But Gong Qing's situation is very special. She is the empress dowager, and she is a woman herself, so she still has an apple by her side.Sony and HP are not here because they have other tasks on them.And Gong Qing has always positioned Apple as a special assistant. Through these years of getting along, they have cooperated very well.Therefore, Apple has always been by Gong Qing's side.

Apple often helps Gong Qing organize letters, and can barely understand a little English, but it is really just barely.Seeing that Gong Qing's complexion was not very good, frowning as if lost in thought, Apple's heart was raised.Is there a sudden change in the capital?Is there something wrong?

Gong Qing was silent for a while, and asked, "Where has the second batch of food from Yajiu gone?"

After fighting a battle for so long, the national treasury taken over from the former emperor was already very empty, and there was no money to be allocated at all. Now the whole country knows that the Northwest Army is short of food.Su Yunzhi's appeal to all the imperial wives in the capital to donate money and food is actually just a cover.The more active Su Yunzhi was, the more certain people became sure that the Northwest was indeed short of food.And without food and grass, how can soldiers fight when they are hungry?

This move is obviously showing weakness.Gong Qing is using this method to reduce the threat of the Northwest Army in the eyes of some people.

However, Gong Qing had already gathered a batch of food secretly, and now the second batch of food was already on the way.The second batch of food went much slower than the first batch, because in the team disguised as a fur trader, Ya Jiu not only carried food, but also privately made ordnance!

"...Four days ago, they arrived at Yanmo City. Calculating the time, they will still be on the road for about eleven days." Apple read out the news received yesterday, "This is already the fastest speed. If it catches up with the rain... I'm afraid they will have to delay for another day or two on the road."

Gong Qing counted the time in her heart.It will take another eleven days here... and something big will happen in the capital after ten days... But it will take time for the news from the capital to reach the northwest... If it is true that the second batch of food and grass can be received in eleven days, then there should be no delay .However, the recent weather is really not very good.Gong Qing opened a drawer at his feet, and put the letter from Su Yunzhi in it, the small drawer was almost full.

Seeing that Gong Qing's complexion was not very good, Apple couldn't help asking: "Master, what's wrong?"

Gong Qing shook his head and said, "Just wait."

Time passed day by day.When Su Yunzhi ordered to surround Xie's mansion, Gong Qing had already changed into a suit that was very suitable for riding and shooting.She may not rush directly to the battlefield and fight the enemy bravely at the forefront, but she will never allow those complicated dresses of the queen mother to delay her actions.

In the capital, as the interrogation unfolded, Su Yunzhi's face became very gloomy.

The rebel forces in the previous dynasty called themselves "Guangmingmen".Since the founding of the Yun Dynasty, successive emperors have been relentlessly suppressing Guangmingmen.Those in power are very sensitive to such treachery.But this Guangming Gate is like a weed.A stubble is cut here, and a stubble grows there.

Because Yunchao's government is still stable, Guangmingmen has never done anything, and has not been able to develop much.Decades ago, after the little prince of the current court was killed, there was no movement at Guangmingmen.The imperial court once thought that they had been completely suppressed.

But what if the little prince still left blood?

The old lord of the Xie family was an orphan from the previous dynasty, and she always took the restoration of the country as her mission, so she has been using the Xie family for more than 40 years.She thought that the son and daughter she gave birth to had the most noble blood in the world.She thought that one day her children would ascend to the throne.But in fact, she is just used by people, right?Su Yunzhi even wondered if the old Feng Jun was really an orphan from the previous dynasty.

Because, Su Yunzhi's plan was so thorough, yet the top management of Guangmingmen still escaped!

What does this mean?This means that when the people of Guangmingmen just heard a little bit of news, they took the lead in running away without even confirming the authenticity of the news!All the rebellious forces seem to be united around the old Fengjun, waiting for her at any time, as if they really respect her, but when Xie's family was surrounded, these people who have been following the old Fengjun Why don't they stay in the capital, why don't they think about how to rescue their master?This group of loyal people just fled the capital quickly!They seemed to have completely abandoned the Xie family.

Is it because Guangmingmen abandoned their master?

Su Yunzhi immediately denied this point, maybe Guangmingmen may not really regard the old Fengjun of the Xie family as their master.The people who were caught by Su Yunzhi and put in prison were Xie's family, they were people who worked for Xie's family, they were some young people in Guangmingmen, and the high-level people in Guangmingmen had never been seen.

"Gong Qing...Gong Qing...Gong Qing is in danger!" Su Yunzhi's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.It must be too late to send news to the northwest at this moment!At this moment, Su Yunzhi was extremely calm, but her fists were getting tighter and tighter.

In the northwest, Apple also followed Gong Qing's example and changed the skirt into trousers.

The first day was uneventful.

The next day, nothing happened.

On the third day, Crow Nine arrived.She sent a message to Gong Qing.

On the fourth day, the clouds were light and the wind was light.Even so, Gong Qing suddenly called Zhou Sen in front of him.The reason she used was very simple. Zhou Sen was originally from the capital, and he had been in the northwest for less than a year.The queen mother from the capital city suddenly felt a little curious when she heard about his reputation.

On the fourth night, Gong Qing, who was sleeping with all her clothes on, suddenly opened her eyes in the dark.She jumped up from the bed, and when she walked outside, Apple and Zhou Sen were already awake, waiting there.Gong Qing's hair was all coiled up, and there was a protective mirror hidden under her seemingly ordinary clothes.She said to Zhou Sen expressionlessly: "If something happens later, you should protect Apple first. My skills are a little better than hers."

After hearing this, Apple was so moved that he didn't know what to say.She was about to say no.But Gong Qing stopped her: "Don't talk too much. In fact, nothing will happen, I'm just in case. In short, you remember to protect yourself. Now, follow me out to meet these people for a while."

There were dense crowds of people standing outside Gongqing's tent.Headed by a young general.Seeing that Gong Qing came out by himself, he knew that the Queen Mother might have guessed that he would do something.But so what?He surrounded here with his troops, as long as he captured the Queen Mother, he could immediately enter the capital.So, he still laughed easily.The torches around him illuminated his smile extremely ferociously.

"Lv Hongmao! It's you!" Zhou Sen shouted.

Gong Qing's eyes narrowed.

This Lu Hongmao was originally an orphan.There are many military households in the Northwest, and most of these military households are orphans and widows, so it is very common to adopt children.Lu Hongmao's adoptive father is a veteran who retired due to injury.When he became an adult, he entered the military camp as his adoptive father.Since then, he has repeatedly made military exploits.Old General Feng saw his talent as a young man, so he recognized him as his adopted son.However, the title of General Feng's adopted son is not particularly precious, because old General Feng recognized several adopted sons after his own son died in battle.Among the many adoptive sons, Lu Hongmao is not very conspicuous.

Gong Qing has always suspected that there are still spies among the senior management of the Northwest Army, or they can't be said to be spies, it should be said that they are people with different intentions, but she has never found out who this person is.Because of the lack of evidence at hand, she seemed to look suspicious at everyone, and seemed to think that anyone could be innocent.Even though news from the capital continued to reach Gong Qing, she couldn't tell anything from those news.

Lu Hongmao showed his white teeth, and said, "Me? What's wrong with me? But suddenly the battle is tense, and I'm just here to protect the empress dowager."

Gong Qing stood there very calmly, as if she hadn't understood the situation in front of her.Looking at Lu Hongmao, all the beads in her mind were connected together.So instead, she laughed in a good mood and said, "Lu Hongmao? This Lu should not be your real surname."
