The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Sitting up from Shang Junlin's arms in a gloomy "babble", 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 to stand up, got up and tidied up his clothes: "I'll go and have a look."

Eunuch Meng was waiting outside, Shang Junlin changed his coat and went out: "What's going on?"

"The leader of the Imperial Army is already waiting for His Majesty outside, please come here." Eunuch Meng didn't know the details, knowing that this matter should not be delayed, he hurriedly led the way for Shang Junlin.

It's still morning, usually at this time of day when he's so depressed that he hasn't even woken up yet. After Shang Junlin left, he couldn't sleep either, so he asked Mu Xi to call him 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 hadn't come back. I think this time was a big deal.

"Mu Xi, go ask the people outside if there is anything unusual in the capital recently."

"Yes."

After a year of training, the man who was depressed and raised in Zhuangzi is now able to take charge of his own affairs. It is easy to find out any news that is not deliberately concealed.

During the period of waiting for the news, I was depressed and had nothing to do, so I simply went to the small study, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down what would happen in the future based on the impression of the previous life.

The incidents were listed on the paper one by one, and the depressed fingers rested on the forehead, trying to find out from these incidents that they could be connected with today's events.

After a while, Shen Yu folded the paper and put it on the candle to light it up.

This kind of thing related to the future, Shen Yu refused to keep it.

When I came out of the small study, it was already noon, the weather cleared up, and the sun was high in the sky, bringing warmth to the cold winter.

Shen Yu walked into the sunlight and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Think about it carefully, what happened today was not sudden. The king of Yue was arrested, and Shang Junlin kept him in prison without dealing with it, in order to catch all the forces behind him. Although they have caught many 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 the controller is not found out, one day will not be completely at ease. These forces that suddenly appeared outside the capital are likely to come 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 forbidden army still found some similarities between them and those before. Now King Yue is imprisoned in the Prison of the Ministry of Justice, and the traces of these people's activities also revolve around the prison of the Ministry of Justice. "

Shang Junlin took off his cloak, walked over to Shen Yu and sat down.

"Ah Yu is playing chess by himself?"

In front of Shen Yu, there is a chessboard. On the chessboard, black and white pieces are fighting fiercely. If either side is a little careless, they will lose by one piece.

Sullenly dropped Baizi, and Baizi instantly overwhelmed Heizi with an absolute advantage.

Shen Yu didn't make any more black pieces, but looked at the chessboard and asked, "Who does your majesty think can win?"

"Looking at the situation, Baizi has a great chance of winning, but Heizi is surrounded by many, and there is no way out."

"It just looks like, if I think about it, if Heizi can come back, it really depends on who wins, not Heizi or Baizi, 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 in uniform hide in the dark, and the leader of the forbidden army leads his subordinates quietly into the area where the men in black are hiding. No matter what the purpose of these men in black is, since they have discovered them, they will stay Here it is.

A silent fight unfolded in the inaccessible forest. The strong smell of blood attracted the beasts deep in the forest. They tried to approach, dragged away the delicious food, and were forced to retreat by the killing atmosphere before they approached.

The sky gradually darkened, and the movement in the forest gradually subsided. The leader of the forbidden army held the ground with his sword, and wiped the blood from his face with his free hand.

"See if there are any survivors, and check around by the way, don't let people slip away."

"Yes, my lord."

After tidying up everything, the leader of the Forbidden Army returned to the palace.

It's a pity that this group of people who were sent out were all dead soldiers, and they were wiped out in the hands of the imperial army, so they couldn't get any useful news.

Since the first batch was active around the capital, there must be a second batch, and a third batch. Shang Junlin specially dispatched an army to guard outside the capital. If something is wrong, there is no need to report it, just do it directly.

"Strict investigations are being carried out everywhere. Where did these people come from?" In front of Shen Yu, there is a map of Dahuan. On the map, many red marks are marked. These places are where the rebels have appeared.

Gu Huai was ordered to lead troops to wipe out the remnants of the rebel forces, and now he has wiped out several places with remarkable results.

Shang Junlin stood beside him, his eyes fell on the map, and the other red marks could be seen to be connected with each other, except for those that appeared near the capital, which had no connection with any other place, as if they had popped up suddenly generally.

"I don't know. Except for the first day, I didn't find any trace of these people. I also sent people from the Ministry of Punishment to watch, but I didn't find any suspicious people."

"Your Majesty, remove those people outside the capital and let them hang around outside. The people behind the scenes can only watch what they want to do."

Shang Junlin turned his head to look at Shen Yu, the two looked at each other, and Shen Yu blinked.

Shang Junlin withdrew his gaze: "Okay."

The people in the capital suddenly discovered that the imperial guards who had been patrolling around had disappeared at some point, and those who were careful even noticed that the soldiers who had been wandering outside the city had also disappeared.

"What happened? Suddenly there were more patrols on the street, and today they suddenly disappeared?"

"Maybe it's because the higher up thinks it's no longer in danger?"

"Not to mention, when there are more patrols, there are fewer thieves. At this time in previous years, thieves were sent to the Yamen almost every day. This year, there are not many cases."

"You don't tell me I didn't notice it, it's really like this."

The imperial court did not reveal it, and the common people did not understand what was happening outside. In their impression, the leader of the rebel, King Yue, had been arrested, and his subordinate forces had also been disintegrated. All problems have been resolved, and this year can be a good year.

It is impossible for the imperial court to tell the people everything, many of them are selectively published in the Minbao, and some things that are not suitable for mentioning will not appear in the Minbao.

Subei.

As the year approached, Jiang Huaiqing finished handling Lin Yuan's affairs and returned to Subei.

This year was the same as last year. He spent the New Year with Jiang Huaiqing. Many of the officials who came to Subei were young. In addition, they had not brought their families for a while, so they simply proposed that they celebrate the New Year together.

Being in a foreign land and celebrating the New Year together is better than being alone.

A few days in advance, the Subei government has already started preparing for the New Year. This is their first year here and the first year they embark on the journey. No matter what the future holds, at least at this time, everyone The relationship is very harmonious.

On a very ordinary day, He Chengyu planned to ask Shangjiang Huaiqing to go outside for a walk. The customs in Subei are different from those in the capital. Want something, very hilarious.

Fang Jiayi went out with someone, and other officials also invited people who had a good relationship to go out together. They didn't have to buy anything, and it would be 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: "Another appointment with Mr. Jiang?"

He Chengyu just smiled and said nothing.

"I know that's the case," the man muttered in a low voice, "If you didn't know your identities, everyone would doubt whether you are real brothers. Brothers are not as sticky as you are."

"Huiqing and I hit it off right away. Now that we are far away in Subei, we naturally need to take care of each other more."

"I know you have a good relationship, then we won't bother you, and we will make an appointment next time." After speaking, several 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 another day."

The door was opened a little, and Jiang Huaiqing poked his head out: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, but something happened, let's talk about it after Brother Chengyu comes in."

He Chengyu observed Jiang Huaiqing calmly, seeing that he was just a little depressed and had no other problems, so he was a little relieved.

"what happened?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do what I said to brother Chengyu again," Jiang Huaiqing walked to the table and sat down, "I'm leaving Subei."

"Your Majesty wants to call you back?" For some reason, He Chengyu's heart skipped a beat.

"No," Jiang Huaiqing pinched the cup, his eyes a little blank, "Your Majesty sent me a new task."

When the secret order was issued, Shang Junlin didn't say anything dead. He gave Jiang Huaiqing room to refuse. The risk of going was quite high. Similarly, if things were done, the rewards would definitely not be small. With Jiang Huaiqing's background, if it wasn't for Shang Jun Rin intends to cultivate, and he wants to stand out in the court, which is impossible in ten or twenty years.

Therefore, after receiving the secret order, Jiang Huaiqing chose to agree without even thinking about it. He has something to do on his own, and he is willing to pay anything if it can shorten the time.

Jiang Huaiqing is a very decisive person, he will not regret making a decision, the only person who makes him hesitate is He Chengyu, he and He Chengyu have thought about how to build Subei well together, how to strive to be the best in the past few years , and then went back to Beijing gracefully, and now, he was about to breach the contract.

"Can you talk to me?" He Chengyu suppressed the panic rising in his heart, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to talk."

"Your Majesty's secret decree, I can't tell." Jiang Huaiqing shook his head.

"Okay, I don't ask, when are you leaving?" He Chengyu paused, "I should be able to say that, right?"

"Probably after the Chinese New Year, or maybe before the Chinese New Year. After I leave, I need you to help me lay a cover here so that no one will find that I'm not there. Fortunately, my usual sense of presence is not high." Jiang Huaiqing was in pain He smiled amusedly.

"How long will you go? 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, a year at most? Two years? If I can come back..." If I can come back, it will be closer to the time to clear up the teacher's grievances. If not, his name will be buried with the teacher forever Underground.

"No if!" He Chengyu stood up suddenly, 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 a long time. For several days in a row, he spent time in the place where the files were kept in the government office. He Chengyu noticed that 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 sent them to Jiang Huaiqing's room.

Jiang Huaiqing felt that He Chengyu should know something, and he didn't want to hide it from him. He could only go on the road alone when he went to Mobei. 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 it, and a very unfamiliar man walked in and handed Jiang Huaiqing a token.

Jiang Huaiqing took the token: "This is?"

"My lord, put this away, and under the order of your lord, I will escort you all the way."

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 is inconvenient for Yinlongwei to be dispatched. It just so happens that the manpower he trained can be used, and these people can also be sent to explore the bottom of Beimo first.

"Yinlongwei said that an unknown force appeared around Jiang Huaiqing, does Ayu know what's going on?"

"Your Majesty sent Yinlongwei beside Jiang Huaiqing?"
