Empress and Empress

Xiaomeng looked at the letter in his hand, but the content of the letter was some seemingly irrelevant words.But the letters sent from Sakatsubo Castle should not be meaningless.

Thinking about it, Xiaomeng had already walked in front of Yuanmeng Pavilion, so after thinking about it, he decided to go in.

Yuan Xingye sat directly under the tree in the courtyard, looked at the sky and didn't know what he was thinking of writing, Xiao Meng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Do you know what this means?"

Yuan Xingye took a look and said with a smile, "This is the language used by the military to convey information."

Seeing that Yuan Xingye didn't resist, Xiaomeng didn't mind what was written in it, and didn't mind if it was stained with dust. He sat directly beside Yuan Xingye and said, "I know the method of cracking messages in the Daqi Army." , but this time it seems to have changed, and there is a big difference from the past.”

"Yu Fei rebelled, and some things in the army will naturally have to be reorganized." Yuan Xingye carefully looked at the letter in his hand, and Xiao Meng asked, "Then what is written in it?"

Yuan Xingye smiled and said nothing. Xiaomeng knew that this person would not say anything, and she didn't want to force it. Being able to talk to Yuan Xingye like this was beyond her expectations. She was silent for a moment and said, "Think carefully about my proposal."

After speaking, he got up and left without taking the letter from Yuan Xingye's hand.Logically speaking, Yuan Xingye's identity should bring them a lot of benefits, or in other words, killing her can also seriously hurt Daqi's vitality. There is already some dissatisfaction in the Loulan army these days, even in the court. Quite a lot of stress.

Although Xiaomeng suppressed all these rumors, she couldn't do anything about it in the long run.After she left, Yuan Xingye opened the letter again.After watching for a moment, I couldn't help but shook my head with a smile.

This letter was written by Xia Zimo himself. Although there are some things related to the military, most of them are words between lovers.

At this moment in Narrow Pot City, Xia Zimo put down the pen in his hand and said to himself, "I don't know if the letter has been delivered to Hoshino."

Luo Yan on the side said, "Princess Xiaomeng has a great possibility to ask the marshal after receiving the letter. The chances of the marshal seeing it are still very high." After talking, looking at Xia Zimo, who would have thought that Xia Zimo would send so many messengers, Did he just want to deliver the letter to Yuan Xingye?But they were not sure whether Yuan Xingye could see it.

"What's the news from Dayue?" Xia Zimo asked.

Luoyan said, "There is no problem in Suiye City. Pei Shiyuan has already brought 20 soldiers to Zahu, and Suiye only has 10,000+ cavalry left. There should be no problem with Shen Bing. It's just---" Luoyan looked at it Xia Zimo's expression was a little hesitant.

"Just what?"

"It's the news that the spies heard in Loulan." Luo Yan said carefully, "Some people in Loulan advocated that the marshal should be returned to restore the old relationship with Daqi, and some advocated that the marshal should be killed to damage the morale of our army. Already expected, but one more message—"

"Leave a message saying that Princess Xiaomeng wants to recruit the Marshal as a son-in-law, and that she will send the armies of several countries to the Marshal. It also said that Princess Xiaomeng has already controlled the armies of the three countries. If the Marshal nods, all the three countries will belong to the Marshal in the future." After finishing speaking, she Pay attention to Xia Zimo's face.

Xia Zimo didn't react too much, but was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you get this news?"

"The spies said that someone in Loulan's army said it. It should be a deliberate rumor, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or not." Luo Yan smiled wryly.The news she got was all false and true, but it was very likely that a small news would affect the future marching layout, so she didn't dare to hide it.

"Continue to send spies to investigate, this matter is definitely not groundless." Xia Zimo's expression could not tell whether it was surprise or joy, so Luo Yan had no choice but to bow and retreat, and then went to arrange things.After Luoyan left, Xia Zimo got up and paced the meeting hall.

Princess Xiaomeng liked Yuan Xingye, and this matter was not without impact on her.Although he knew that Yuan Xingye would not change anything because of this incident, Xia Zimo felt a little inferior.

Princess Xiaomeng could give Yuan Xingye, but she couldn't.Originally, she thought that she was already excellent enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Xingye, but there were some things she could do nothing about.

The four people in the southeast and northwest watched Xia Zimo pace in front of the table, and the confusion in their eyes was gradually replaced by firmness.

"Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng, all this of yours is just a dream." Yuan Xingye, no matter what, she would never give it up to anyone else.Xia Zimo's tone gradually carried some murderous intent.Sitting back in his seat, Xia Zimo asked, "How long will it take for General Pei to arrive at Narrow Pot City?"

"It will probably arrive tonight, do you want to send someone to meet you?" Yuan Dong said.Basically no one knew of Yuan Xingye's plan, but there was no war yet, so it was the first time that the army had been mobilized so frequently.There is already some uneasiness in the army.

"Send the black-clothed army to meet him." Xia Zimo said, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zili walked into the hall and saluted, "My lord, Princess Xiaomeng's messenger has arrived."

"Please come in."

After a while, a long-bearded man walked in. He was not wearing Loulan's costumes, but a commoner's costume, with fluttering white clothes, which gave him a sense of immortality.

"Caomin Lou Yisheng, I pay my respects to Lord Supervisor."

"Mr. Lou, please sit down." Xia Zimo said.The southeast and northwest got up and stood behind Xia Zimo, Zhou Zili poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Lou Yisheng, and then went out to guard the door.

"This is fresh Maojian. My guard is very experienced in making tea. Mr. Lou might as well try it first." Xia Zimo smiled, and Lou never refused.Picking up the teacup, he took a sip, and then said, "Long aftertaste, good tea, good tea. To drink such good tea in this remote place, Lou's trip is worth it."

Xia Zimo smiled and said nothing, "Mr. Lou is a Qiren?"

"Lou is a native of Loulan. He just lived in Daqi since he was a child. He just returned to Loulan recently." Lou never concealed it all his life. Xia Zimo knew in his heart that this should be Loulan's spy in Daqi.He didn't point it out, just smiled and said, "It's human nature for Mr. Lou to be nostalgic for his homeland, but now that the border is in turmoil, Mr. Lou's return to the country at this time makes the general admire him."

"My lord compliments, but Lou dare not take it." Lou Yisheng smiled, Xia Zimo is also a talkative person, Lou Yisheng has also been to many places in Daqi, and the two chatted for a while, but they were very speculative.

It's just that although Lou Yiyi was smiling, he was a little irritable in his heart. Xia Zimo only talked about what he had seen and heard, but didn't ask him about his visit this time, which made him a little anxious.

Although Lou Yisheng has lived in Daqi for decades and is familiar with the scriptures, but after all, it is only on paper, how can it be worth Xia Zimo's wandering in the harem all the time.There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes from time to time.

Xiaomeng sent him because he had lived in Daqi the longest and knew Daqi's habits best.But she forgot that Lou Yisheng had never had contact with officials and rich people because of his status, so he was not good at negotiating.

Xia Zimo smiled and said, "Mr. Lou's experience has made the supervising army very admired. Why don't you hurry back and stay in Narrow Pot City, and let the supervising army show the friendship of the landlord."

Lou Yiyi smiled wryly when he heard the words. Princess Xiaomeng still remembered to let him return to life, but Xia Zimo had no intention of negotiating at all.I turned a few corners in my head, but didn't know how to answer.He could only say, "Lou also admires the military supervisor's knowledge, but the princess is still waiting to return to her command, so she really can't stay for long. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit you again."

"It's a pity, I want Mr. Lou to stay for a few more days." Xia Zimo laughed. "Since this is the case, why don't you leave tomorrow and stay tonight no matter what? The military supervisor will host a banquet for Mr. I don't know what Princess Xiaomeng's plan is? What does the princess have in regard to my treatment of Marshal Daqi?" Require."

Hearing Xia Zimo's serious business, Lou Yisheng was shocked, and then said, "The princess hopes that your army can give up narrow pot city in exchange for the marshal of your army."

Xia Zimo smiled and said, "Although the princess's request is not too much, the supervising army cannot make the decision. If the princess asks to write food, grass, gold and silver, it is still possible. How can I, a little supervising army, make the decisions about the country. "

Lou Yisheng seemed to have expected Xia Zimo's rejection a long time ago, and asked instead, "I heard that Xia Jianjun was also captured by Quan Rong back then, and was used to exchange the two cities of Heifeng Youzhou. Now my Loulan is not as greedy as Quan Rong's. A small pot city is not too much. What's more, the supervising army doesn't miss the kindness of saving them that day?"

"Although the story of my being captured that day was widely circulated, my lord should know that I was not the one who was captured, and the exchange of cities was only because of a plan. What's more, there was the matter of blowing up Black Wind City first, even if I withdrew After leaving Narrow Pot Castle, do your troops really dare to move in?"

Lou Yiyi said with a smile, "There were no people in Heifeng City that day. Otherwise, according to the character of the Lord and the Marshal, he would not have used this trick. However, there are still tens of thousands of people in the narrow pot city. I believe the Lord will not do this. If this condition is not Ken promises, my military division will not let him go."

Xia Zimo smiled, pretending to be casual and said, "I don't know how the marshal is at your place? If the princess wants to do something, the army in charge will not be able to explain to the emperor and the soldiers."

Before Lou Yisheng came, Xiaomeng told him that Xia Zimo would never agree to this condition, and he didn't plan to release Yuan Xingye back. He came here this time just to test Xia Zimo's attitude.Now Xia Zimo didn't care about the negotiation at first, but now his tone seemed to agree with him, which made Lou Yisheng a little embarrassed.

After deliberating, he said slowly, "Don't worry, my lord, what is the status of the marshal, the princess has always treated me as a guest of honor." Xia Zimo smiled slightly and said, "Of course the supervisor understands the importance of the marshal. Back then, Princess Xiaomeng agreed to send Concubine Mei. My sister came back, but she regretted it halfway, and now it is the marshal, how do I know that the princess will not regret it halfway this time?"

"Don't worry, my lord. If your lord agrees to this matter, we will naturally negotiate slowly and come up with a way to deal with it." Lou said with a smile.
