Empress and Empress

Pei Shiyuan was lying on the bed, looking at the top of the military tent in a daze. It was already morning, and he didn't need to do morning exercises these few days, as long as he took Zhou Lang to walk around.Pei Shiyuan smiled wryly, he really didn't want to get up at all.

The guard probed his head and asked, "General, you've practiced." Pei Shiyuan waved his hand, indicating that it's okay. The guard was a little confused but didn't ask any more questions.Pei Shiyuan took office when Quanrong started to attack Youzhou, and it has been more than a year since he came to Youzhou.He also fought everywhere before, but it has always been some small battles.

After arriving in Youzhou, all his wishes were placed on defeating Quanrong, hoping to win and return to the court. He didn't want to be famous or become famous, but just a general's simple idea of ​​defending his family and country and his desire to win .Yuan Xingye asked him to go to the northwest, logically speaking, he should be happy.

But why, the mood is so bad.Pei Shiyuan was confused for a while, and he couldn't figure it out himself.

Maybe it's because of this period of time, this kind of fellowship, this feeling of being able to hand over your back to the other party is too good.Let him almost get carried away.

Sitting up, I realized that I fell asleep immediately after I came back last night without taking off my clothes. I couldn't help shaking my head when I saw the crumpled clothes, and started to take off my clothes.

Just as he was taking off only his undershirt, the tent of the military tent was lifted, and a person walked in.

Shen Bing came in with a food box, was taken aback when she saw it, and then smiled and said, "What are you doing?" Pei Shiyuan flashed a bit of embarrassment, not knowing why, and said, "I---I change clothes."

"I saw that you didn't go for breakfast, so I brought you some." Shen Bing smiled.Shen Bing was wearing casual clothes, and he didn't look like he was going to practice.There are still some drops of water on the shoulders.

Pei Shiyuan quickly put on his clothes. He only felt that Shen Bing was a little uncomfortable here, but he couldn't tell where he was uncomfortable.When I was not a general, sleeping and changing clothes with my subordinates was a common thing, and there was no special feeling.

"Is it okay for you not to practice?" Pei Shiyuan asked, diverting his attention.Shen Bing put down the food box, and while picking up the contents, said, "It's okay."

Even if the commander in black is not around, there will be no doubts.Pei Shiyuan knew this, and Yuan Xingye hardly asked about the black army.

At this time, the tent was opened again, and a person walked in.

Shen Bing turned around and saw a general he didn't know, wearing an army uniform, he frowned indistinctly, why didn't the guards at the door inform him?However, Shen Bing didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhou Lang indifferently, then turned around and said, "Eat something." Putting out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Pei Shiyuan was a little surprised and said, "Brother Zhou, why are you here?" Zhou Lang shook his head. He had a meal and separated from Zang Qi very quickly yesterday. After thinking about it when he went back, he felt that he had gone too far, so he came over to apologize. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, he saw a person standing in the military tent.

Although there was no emotion in that faint glance, Zhou Lang felt like falling into an ice cave.Unlike Yuan Xingye's pressure, it was more murderous, making him unable to move his whole body.

Yuan Xingye was reading the military newspaper. Yuan Dong walked up to Xia Zimo and said something. Xia Zimo walked over and said, "General Pei and General Shen didn't go to practice today." Yuan Xingye nodded.

Xia Zimo checked the amount of food and grass, looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.Turning around, he asked Yuan Dong, "Who made this account?"

Yuan Dong said, "There are special people who are responsible for counting and distributing the food and supplies of the army. There are ten people in total, six clerks, three deputy clerks, and one clerk." Then he whispered, "General Luoyan usually calls People monitor."

Xia Zimo nodded, there were some discrepancies in the accounts, so he did a rough calculation.Although it is a drop in the bucket compared to the food and clothing of these 30 people, it is not a small amount, and the accounts are so detailed that few people can see it.

Attacking the dog army is the top priority of the Daqi Dynasty now. How dare the little supervisor and several clerks have such guts?

Xia Zimo looked at the accounts again. Since ancient times, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Xia Zimo did not really think that those who manage food and grass are really not greedy for a penny, but they are greedy for thousands of taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels. After a battle, it is estimated that no one will be able to find out.

This poor money is basically made some changes in food and clothing, and the military salary is not bad, no wonder Luo Yan didn't notice it.

Yuan Xingye looked at Xia Zimo, and began to lower his head in thought just now, frowning for a while, trying to run away for a while, and finally smiled. Yuan Xingye felt that there was something deep in that smile, so he couldn't help shaking his head.She knew that Xia Zimo wanted to grasp a group of people first in the court, and now he was trying to collect as much information as possible.

If it was in the army, Yuan Xingye would be able to help, but in the court, she really didn't have anyone she could use.However, Luoyan has quite a few scouts in the capital, so she might be able to get some news.

Xia Zimo put down the accounts, and then looked at Yuan Xingye who was thinking about tactics. Thinking of some things yesterday, he couldn't help but roll his eyes with a smile, and asked, "What did you say to Concubine Xian yesterday?"

Yuan Xingye put down the pen in his hand, rested his left hand on his chin, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty came here the same way, and she was supposed to go out of the city ten miles to meet her, but the army is busy with affairs, General Cheng treacherous, and Black Wind City changed hands. It's really hard to get out. I only have time today." Look at the empress."

Then imitating the tone of Concubine Xian, she said, "Yuan Xiurong is naturally busy with business, so how can I blame it. It's about Cheng Jing, I didn't expect it to be true?"

"Naturally, I heard that Xia Cairen ran into your empress yesterday?"

"I don't mind. The Japanese Palace will be able to return to Chang'an after a while, but I don't know how Xia Cairen usually treats Xiurong?"

Yuan Xingye couldn't help laughing when he learned this, "I told Concubine Xian that you are usually domineering and domineering, and you never take me seriously. I tried to write a letter several times but endured it. When the soldiers in the army saw you, I don't even like being close to you." Although Yuan Xingye was a little reluctant to say bad things about Xia Zimo, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Maybe it's because two people lied to others together.Naming likes the other person so much in his heart, but what he says is lies.

Thinking about it, some of Xia Zimo's methods of dealing with Concubine Xian were more teasing.Compared with the careful treatment of Concubine De at that time, it is really different.

Half a month has passed---

Yuan Xingye thought about tactics every day, and then accompanied Xia Zimo around the city of Youzhou.Xia Zimo also seems to have collected a lot of information, and studies these information for a long time every day.

Accompanied by Zhou Lang, Pei Shiyuan took a look inside and outside the city of Youzhou, even the barracks.Zhou Lang was also helpless. After ten days, although he got a lot of news, almost all of them were useless.The barracks are neatly planned and magnificent.Soldiers drill every day, and the food and pay are exactly the same as those in the household department.

This was the first time Zhou Lang had seen this well-groomed army, even though the Imperial Army had bright armor, their imposing manner was much worse.

Shen Bing still had dinner and breakfast with Pei Shiyuan every day, and had a few face-to-face meetings with Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang came to look for Pei Shiyuan again this day. He searched for half a month, made open and unannounced visits, but found no useful news.Also feel suffocated.It's just that although Pei Shiyuan didn't say anything for half a month, he never stopped him wherever he was going.Can he get angry at Pei Shiyuan again.

Zhou Lang only felt that this breath was held in his heart, and it became more and more uncomfortable.

It was noon at this time, and he had originally agreed with Pei Shiyuan not to move around today, but after thinking about it, he still came to Pei Shiyuan's tent.Pei Shiyuan was cleaning his weapon and was surprised to see him.

"Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

Sitting opposite Pei Shiyuan, Zhou Lang endured and endured, and then said, "Brother Pei, we are old friends. You should tell me something. I should also tell the emperor."

Pei Shiyuan was stunned. Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo first came to mind, and then he looked at Zhou Lang. Does Xianfei know something?

Then he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although everyone in the army said that Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye had a good relationship, no one thought about that. If he hadn't followed him to Quan Rong once, he probably wouldn't have thought about it.As for other than this --

Pei Shiyuan really didn't expect to have anything to say, corrupting the law?No.Collaborating with the enemy and treason?nor.So what exactly is there to explain?

Looking at Pei Shiyuan's stunned expression, Zhou Lang only felt that he had guessed right.Only Pei Shiyuan asked, "Brother Zhou, what do you want me to say?"

Zhou Lang was also stunned. He only felt that there was a problem in Youzhou, and it was a problem with the comrades in the Northern Army, but he really didn't know how to say it.

"It's not that he wants you to say it, it's Concubine Xian who wants you to say it."

The two turned their heads, and Shen Bing didn't know when he came to the military tent.Shen Bing still had a cold face, and then asked, "General Zhou, the emperor asked you to protect the concubine Xian, and check the military affairs of Youzhou by the way. It is not for you to find fault. What news do you want? It is us and Are the dogs collaborating with the enemy, or withholding military pay?"

"I---"

Shen Bing's face was expressionless, but his eyes were extremely cold, "Why are you so persistent in finding out about the problem of conquering the Northern Army? Could it be that the emperor must ask you to find out something? You keep saying that you are loyal to the emperor, that your second brother should not be the direct descendant of the marshal , but what qualifications do you have to say that? Are you also working hard for Concubine Xian to find something to trip up the Marshal in the court?"

"I didn't." Zhou Lang said angrily.

"You didn't? Then why did you have to find out evidence that there was something wrong with the Northern Army? We gave you half a month to look for it. What did you find? Concubine Xian wanted to harm the Marshal because she was jealous of the harem. The marshal really has a problem, Quan Rong conquered Youzhou, after that there will be thousands of miles of fertile land, and there will be no barriers to stop, when the time comes, the people of Daqi will be displaced, can you bear this responsibility?"

Shen Bing's questions were all on Zhou Lang's heart, and he didn't know how to answer them.The emperor just asked him to report something secretly. After he came, he felt that Yuan Xingye was almost in Youzhou, so---

"Youzhou's side is almost Yuan Xingye's world, it's simply——"

"What is it? The people of Youzhou love Marshal, and the soldiers are willing to die for her? In your eyes, it becomes a crime?" Shen Bing made a murderous attempt. This Zhou Lang was full of benevolence and righteousness, saying that he was loyal to the emperor, but everything was for the sake of the emperor. Concubine Xian works.

"No matter what you do in Youzhou, it's still Youzhou of the Great Enlightenment. And you, everything you have done has exceeded your scope. The one who wants to conquer the Northern Army is the wrong concubine Xian, and the one who wants to be a marshal is also the wrong concubine Xian. He has become Concubine Xian's lackey." Shen Bing took a step forward, Zhou Lang only felt the pressure on his body increase little by little, and even his breathing began to be difficult.

"I'm not---I---" Zhou Lang suddenly remembered what he had done these days. He only wanted to find Youzhou and Yuan Xingye's problem, but he forgot his own job.

"Second brother is loyal to his mission. You said that he abandoned his original intention and obeyed Yuan Xingye's orders. The Marshal was appointed by the emperor himself. If you want him to fight against the Marshal, is this not changing his original intention? Then how did you do it?" Shen Bing glanced dark.

Pei Shiyuan groaned inwardly, if Shen Bing wanted to make a move, Zhou Lang would never have a chance to escape, and Shen Bing's hand had already started to hold the long sword hanging from his waist.

The sword light flashed, Zhou Lang didn't see Shen Bing's attack at all, and when he recovered, Pei Shiyuan was already blocking in front of him with his spear.It was then that he felt he could breathe.

Shen Bing looked at Pei Shiyuan, and Pei Shiyuan said, "Brother, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has to be dealt with by the emperor." arrive.After thinking about it, Shen Bing put away the long sword.

"Are you hurt?" Shen Bing asked.Pei Shiyuan wanted to shake his head, but seeing Shen Bing's concerned gaze, he couldn't help but nodded.He did suffer a little internal injury, but it was fine.After thinking about it, maybe Shen Bing was so angry because Zhou Lang said about himself.

"Brother Zhou, on the eve of the battle in Youzhou, it is naturally a monolith. Brother Zhou, it is better not to go around. The marshal has not blamed the past few days, and he will soon go to war with the dog army. If something goes wrong, it is not clear. Marshal also There is nothing I can do." Pei Shiyuan said.

Zhou Lang looked into Shen Bing's eyes, he knew he was going to leave, but his legs kept shaking.

He has never really seen a war, is this the difference between the generals on the battlefield and him?Zhou Lang endured his fear and walked out of the military tent. When he got out of the military tent, he happened to see several people standing there ten steps away.

The leader is a black suit with wide sleeves and purple auspicious clouds embroidered on it.Without any expression, she looked at him lightly.It was Yuan Xingye.Behind him is Xia Zimo, who is lightly dressed and without makeup, wearing only a pearl walk around his body.

Two steps behind the two is a female general, followed by four guards in the same attire.

Seeing Zhou Lang, Xia Zimo shook his head, which seemed to be a pity.Zhou Lang knew that he was going to pay a thousand visits, but he couldn't control his body. He wanted to say that Shen Bing wanted to kill him, but he didn't know how to say it.

At this time, the horn of Youzhou city defense sounded, and the dog army came to attack.
