Chapter 27
A palace woman whispered, "Let's go."
"Empress, you have not seen Your Majesty? You have been with Your Majesty for six years. Now your Majesty is treating you like this?"
Many concubines knelt in front of the palace and sobbed in a low voice. Qiyun smiled bitterly: "It's useless." It was because she had been with Liang Zhen for six years that Qiyun knew how terrible this man was to be ruthless.
Now he is determined to spoil a concubine who has not yet arrived. The old people who come up will only bring shame on themselves. Beside Liang Zhen, if you want to save your life, you must learn to obey and lie down.
The palace gate was pushed open, and the little eunuch walked out straight. He glanced at the concubines kneeling on the steps, with disdain in his eyes and said in a slight voice, "Girls, go back, Your Majesty is busy, I won't see you."
"I don't believe it, please get out of the way." The woman in purple who was kneeling on the ground stood up with anger on her face.
The little eunuch sneered, "Come, Your Majesty's verbal order, and you will handle it according to the palace rules in ignorance." The guard dragged away the struggling woman on the ground, and the remaining concubines could not help but shivered when they saw the former favored concubine being treated like this.
"Do you still insist on seeing Your Majesty?"
"I, I am tired today, so I won't disturb Your Majesty." The palace concubines looked for reasons one by one to respond, and left the palace one after another. After watching the scene, Qiyun sighed and returned to her palace.
Today's appearance is simply because of a woman who has not yet arrived. Liang Zhen likes her very much. I heard that she was the beauty she liked when she visited Yingdong. His Majesty built a magnificent palace for her and drove all the old people to the North Palace.
The North Palace is very far from Liang Zhen’s main hall. After they went there, it would be difficult to see him without Liang Zhen’s summoning, which is no different from the Cold Palace.
Qiyun lowered her eyes and suppressed her jealousy. His Majesty did all this to please the new concubine. If that girl was a kind person, then the old people could still live a peaceful life. If not, that was the beginning of the real nightmare.
She can do nothing now, and she cannot make His Majesty’s impression of herself worse. She is enough to be a gentle and virtuous concubine. The only way to turn things around is that the girl falls out of favor.
Qiyun's eyes were cold and faint, and after a long time, she gently curled her lips.
...
Lian Qi opened the note in his hand and asked his personal guard Yinzhou: "What's going on in the training of troops?"
"Young Master, you are all following your instructions. The brothers are all stationed in the suburbs of the city. But we can't post notices, and the progress is slow." Yin Zhou sighed, feeling too frustrated. They were training troops but could not practice openly, because Yi Qiancheng's confidant was still in Yingdong, and he was monitoring their every move at any time.
Lian Qi had no expression on his face: "Secretly recruiting people and expanding their troops, be careful, even if it is slow, it cannot be noticed by Fang Mu." He could not let Lian Sheng fall into danger, and he must maintain the calmness of Yingdong and not be noticed by Yi Qiancheng.
"Yes!" Yin Zhou hesitated for a while and said, "Young Master... I must say that your injury has not healed yet. Don't be too busy. The military training cannot be accomplished overnight. The most urgent thing is to take good care of your body."
"Don't worry, I'm fine." He could wait, but A Sheng couldn't. When he thought that she was next to Yi Qiancheng at this moment, he couldn't control the fire in his heart, and he wanted to crush Yi Qiancheng's bones and ashes. Lian Qi tightened his fists and his eyes were cold.
Sooner or later, he will bring A Sheng back openly.
Fang Mu led his troops to patrol the city in Yingdong City. When the people of Yingdong learned that they were soldiers of sea buckthorn, they respected them very much and wanted to give them eggs and vegetables from their homes.
The city people were so enthusiastic, Fang Mu laughed embarrassedly. He was a tall man who smiled shyly and approachable, and the people became even more enthusiastic. Later, every time he went out to patrol the city, someone always greeted him at the top of his voice: "General Fang is here again?"
Fang Mu is honest and grateful to the people's enthusiasm. He always helps them with small things - such as pushing a cart to shock refugees.
In addition to paying attention to the situation in the city, Fang Mu's more important task is to pay attention to the movements of the Lian family. Although he is honest, he is not stupid. He knows that the most powerful person in the Lian family is the eldest son Lian Qi, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him the most.
Even the eldest son has been recuperating recently and has not gone out. Fang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but the string in his mind is still tense and dare not slacken at all. The general handed over Yingdong to him, proving that he valued and trusted him extremely, and he could not disappoint the general.
"Sir Fang, the city lord said that you have worked hard to patrol the city recently. I invite you and the soldiers to visit the mansion tomorrow." A guest of the city lord's family said.
"No, I'm just doing what the general ordered. Thank you to Lord Lian for me." Fang Mu frowned, a little confused. Lord Lian never gave him and his brothers a good face, so why would he suddenly entertain him?
But no matter what the reason was, he would not let himself get in touch with the people in the Lian family. His task was to monitor, not to establish a good relationship with them. The invitation's customers were anxious and said a lot of good things, but seeing Fang Mu was unwavering, he had never seen his expression from beginning to end, so he had to be discouraged.
When the city lord Lian learned that Fang Mu was unwilling to come, his expression became a little ugly. He had only thought that Fang Mu looked stupid and easy to fool. However, such a person is loyal and will never listen to the truth he has determined.
Fang Mu did not live in the city lord's mansion. He and the soldiers of the sea buckthorn were stationed separately in the barracks, and they were both self-sufficient in food and clothing. Yi Qiancheng was strict in governing the army, and Fang Mu acted sternly and followed Yi Qiancheng's path. Even the city lord could almost kill all the soldiers without any movement.
If Fang Mu cannot be solved, Liang Zhen will not believe in his sincerity, and even Sitian will not be able to get married.
Originally, the Lord of Liancheng planned to send Lian Qi to the mansion tomorrow, invite Fang Mu to the mansion, lay a trap early, and then tamper with food to catch all the people of the sea buckthorn in one go, but Fang Mu didn't appreciate it at all.
The aide of the Lord of Liancheng was called Yuan Ye, who was sent to ask Yi Qiancheng for support and finally led to Lian Sheng's marriage. He knew his lord's troubles and advised: "Lord, this matter is not urgent. You cannot let the eldest son see that it is inappropriate. Moreover, the troops left by sea buckthorn should not be underestimated. Yingdong is currently resting and striking troops is not the safest way."
"This is not that, nor that, you can tell me a way to work!"
Yuan Ye thought for a while and said, "Why would you like to ask Your Majesty for help? Your Majesty holds the Imperial City troops and Huanshui's support, it is not a problem to deal with Fang Mu. If you want to marry a girl, you must show some sincerity. The City Lord, you do not ask for any betrothal gifts, just ask Your Majesty to help solve the sea buckthorn soldiers. What you need to do at that time is to hold the eldest son and wait for the sea buckthorn people to die. The girl will marry into the imperial city, and the eldest son has to stand in the same camp as you."
Liancheng Lord had no other choice but to give Yuan Ye's proposal a try. May Your Majesty be sincere in his marriage and be willing to help him kill Fang Mu.
...
After Yi Qiancheng moved back, Lian Sheng was not affected at all. She asked Lu'er to pull out several quilts from the cabinet, and a "quilt mountain" was separated between the two. No one could see anyone when they lay down.
Yi Qiancheng: "..."
What's more, Yi Qiancheng got up very early, and even Sheng almost never saw him when he got up. He heard from his servants that the general was practicing swords in the yard. Yi Qiancheng occasionally had a very strange hobby - getting up early in the morning to take a shower.
As a spoiled girl, Lian Sheng really doesn't understand what the general is doing... He only knows that his husband's face is not good recently, and everyone looks unhappy.
Lian Sheng thought to himself that Yi Qiancheng was already unhappy, and this abnormality seemed to be normal, so he lived his own life with peace of mind.
Madam Liu observed Lian Sheng's expression and manners for several days, and sighed in her heart. It seemed that the general and the girl had not yet accomplished. Madam Liu suspected that the general had hidden illness and grew uncontrollably. While the girl was taking a nap, she attracted Lu'er: "Girl, can you make soup?"
"Budding soup? Which kind of nourishing soup is needed by Madam? Lu'er can replenish qi and nourish blood."
"In this way, I'll give you a prescription another day, and you can make a copy." Then, let the girl send it to the general, and whether it can be accomplished will be done in one fell swoop.
Yi Qiancheng was in a bad mood. He looked at Lian Sheng's innocent and puzzled face and became angry, but he couldn't even be fierce. In the end, he had to endure it secretly and focus on attacking the closing. He decided to send Fu Chengyu to Yuanhuai to restrain Xiang Han first.
The entire Daliang Kingdom divided the power into four groups and five cities surrounding the imperial city. There is the overlord Yi Qiancheng in the north and the overlord Xiang Han in the south. In addition, there are Liang Zhen, the lord Ling Jiuyao and Fengmu, who are neutral factions and do not seize power, but only defend themselves.
After Yingdong gathered at sea buckthorn, Xiang Han must have become impatient. He has been attracted by the fat piece of the closed meat for a long time and has not been able to take it down. He will definitely not let go of this closed battle.
Xiang Han, the man who killed his uncle, had seven orifices in his heart, and was exquisite in his nine turns. He was both cruel and mentally wise, and was a difficult opponent.
The revenge of Fu Chengyu bullying Huan'er before had not been avenged, and he, the fox, happened to be able to deal with Xiang Han. After Fu Chengyu learned about it, he had no word of objection for the first time.
"Okay, I'll go." He has been in a bad mood recently and can no longer stay in the sea buckthorn. He is afraid that he will not be able to control himself and do things that he regrets. Yi Huan is here, which can easily affect his mood. Only by being farther away and farther away, can he become the arrogant Fu Chengyu.
After discussing the trip to Yuanhuai, Fu Chengyu led his troops to set off the next day. Fu Yi had already gone to the closed deployment, so he didn't have to say goodbye to anyone this time.
It happened to be dawn when he set off. Fu Chengyu sat on the horse. The road ahead was hard to illuminate. He could not see the front. There was also a dark color behind him, and he suddenly felt a little sad.
