Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Chapter 127

Qingping put his hand on the door and said indifferently: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Her reaction was also expected by Wu Yue. Wu Yue bowed slightly and said, "It's not difficult for the Wu family to find someone in Le'an. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."

She raised her face, and the dim light of the fire showed the deep sadness in her eyes, but she concealed it very well, and even smiled appropriately, and said slowly: "I just want to ask about Ah Ying, Mr. Li? I don’t want to know why she turned back to Yunzhou halfway to save you, a traitor and collaborator, with a good future in mind?”

Qingping pursed his lips, stared at her for a moment, and said: "So, please come in."

The small attic was even more crowded with the addition of a person. Wu Yue sat on a lame stool indifferently. Qing Ping pulled the candlestick closer and asked, "How do you know I'm here in Le'an?"

Wu Yue smiled, but the smile didn't enter his eyes, and said: "I didn't know at first, but when my brother was worshiping my father's longevity tablet at Fahe Temple, he saw a jade pendant, so he went back to the house and asked me why." Her words are gentle and polite, and she seems approachable, but she has a kind of indifference and alienation, "It's also a coincidence, about half a year ago, Ah Ying dragged me to check on your affairs, so I got to know Master Li, then I also remembered the matter of Yupei."

Qingping was speechless for a moment, and after a long silence, he asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Wu Yue looked at her thoughtfully, and said: "I haven't thanked Master Li yet, but I have traveled thousands of miles to bring her bones back, which is considered to be her wish. I will naturally lie to her father, sir, don't worry about it." .”

Qingping keenly grasped the information in her words, and said: "What does this mean? She knew that she would—"

She didn't say that word, Wu Yue turned her head sideways when she heard the words, as if she was covering up something, and said in a low voice: "She naturally knows that she will die."

When she came to the teahouse, Wu Ying was already sitting in the private room, playing with a jade pendant in her hand, Wu Yue asked, "Didn't you go back to Chang'an to report on your work, why did you switch to Hezhou?"

Wu Ying answered the wrong question and asked, "Is there any news about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

Wu Yue frowned, as if he couldn't understand what she wanted to do, he took a sip from the teacup and said, "Not yet, it has already made people stare."

Wu Ying looked calm, combed the tassels on the jade pendant, and said, "Is there anyone in Yunzhou who hasn't come back?"

Wu Yue waved his hand and said with a headache, "Come back? It's not easy to persuade these people to come back. Do you expect them all to come back?"

Wu Ying said coldly: "That's courting death."

Wu Yue thought for a while, but finally couldn't bear it, sighed and said: "What is the origin of the person you asked me to investigate last time? It is related to the blood of the royal family. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, how do you find it?”

"Focus on one person and check." Wu Ying took a sip of tea, bowed her head and said, "People leave traces when they pass by, and geese leave traces when they pass by. As long as a person does not appear out of thin air, he will definitely leave traces."

Wu Yue said: "Do you want to investigate by yourself, or did King Qi order you to investigate?"

Wu Ying wrote lightly: "It's all."

Wu Yue's expression changed in astonishment, and he lowered his voice and said, "You are crazy, is this kind of thing investigated casually? If something goes wrong, it is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family!"

"Afraid of death?" Wu Ying sneered, "If you are afraid, you shouldn't take care of the Wu family's affairs, and you should be your wealthy idler!"

"I didn't say I was afraid!" Wu Yue said viciously, "You told me what's going on!"

Wu Ying raised her eyelids and said, "I'm leaving."

Wu Yue asked strangely: "In such a hurry to go back to Chang'an, don't you want to visit your father?"

Wu Ying looked at her for a while, covered the complicated emotions in her eyes, and said, "I'm going back to Yunzhou, I'm leaving soon, but I just came to see you for the last time."

Wu Yue grabbed her and said, "What are you doing back in Yunzhou?"

"Save people," she said.

The corners of Wu Yue's eyes twitched, and she said in disbelief, "Are you going to Yunzhou to rescue that Li Qingping? You're probably not really confused. Didn't you tell me earlier that she has left with the mission, how are you going to rescue her?" people?"

Wu Ying smiled strangely, and said: "King Qi has been looking for Wang Xin's tricks. This time, King Qi thought it was a complete victory and forced her away. But I thought about it later, it was clearly because of King Xin. How can she be willing to settle down in a corner, she is so good at retreating to advance, this must be a trick, and when the time comes, she will fight against the army—"

Although Wu Yue had only heard a few words about this matter, she could guess one or two things based on her intelligence. She said: "This is not something that you and I can interfere with. You should stop quickly."

Wu Ying said coldly: "Do you think I don't want to? Everyone in the world knows that the Wu family is on King Qi's team, and there's no way they can get away with it."

"I have handled too many things in secret, and King Qi won't keep me even if he gains power." She smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to pour tea for Wu Yue. Su's subordinates..."

Wu Yue thought hard, and asked, "Are we supposed to stand up for King Xin, but judging from the current situation, King Xin has no chance of ascending to the throne."

"Xin Wang?" Wu Ying sneered, "This character is not easy to get along with, but also a ruthless one, so don't count on it, manage the Wu family well, do your own thing well, don't let them get hotheaded, Do something stupid."

Wu Yue was startled when he heard the words, looked at her and said, "Are you so sure?"

Wu Ying said: "Then just watch."

The two were speechless for a while, drinking tea with their heads down, not thinking about the tea.Wu Yue asked, "When are you going to Yunzhou this time, when are you going to come back?"

Wu Ying put the jade pendant in front of her, and said: "Cangwu County is responsible for transshipment of official transportation from north to south. If food and grass go out, they will definitely pass by here. Officials get a lot of benefits from it, and tens of millions of taels of oil and water are all here. Take this to find an official surnamed Deng, she has a ledger of tributes paid by aristocratic families to important officials in the court...Remember, if King Qi takes power, it will be burned."

With the blue color of the bottom of the cup reflected in her eyes, she said quietly: "If King Xin is in power, then find a suitable opportunity to present this thing, and it will naturally protect the entire Wu family."

Wu Yue was speechless, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he shouted: "Dude, serve the tea, the water is finished!"

The clerk rushed in to refill the tea, Wu Yue calmed down, and then said: "You have planned everything for the future, who will show this appearance? Do you expect me to praise you?" She took a sharp breath, Angrily said: "You are so confused, you—"

"You know I'm not confused." Wu Ying suddenly interrupted her, looked at her and said, "My biological mother is an effective counselor of the King of Qi. Although she looks beautiful, who can end up well through the ages? She has enjoyed all the glory Pet, but if something happens, it will also implicate my father."

"He has remarried, and he still has to rely on the power of the Wu family. There will be no eggs under the overthrow, and the Wu family will naturally not be able to fall, otherwise how many people will be implicated?"

Wu Yue sternly said: "Then it's not your turn to die!"

"It's too late." Wu Ying said calmly, "King Qi's people are waiting outside the city, A Yue, it's too late."

Wu Yue's heart was cold, but she heard her say: "Is my father okay?"

Wu Yue replied subconsciously: "Uncle is doing well, and even asked me about you."

"Really?" Wu Ying was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "That's good."

She put down her things and walked out of the teahouse.

The candlelight on the table danced fiercely in the night wind, Wu Yue put his hands together, and said softly: "Speaking of which, I really regret not stopping her at that time. It's just that I was confused by her few words, and I was thinking of luck. What about one?"

Qingping's throat was dry, she never expected that the situation would have changed so much three years after leaving Beijing.This secret war about scheming started quietly more than ten years ago. They are all part of the game, and they seem to be doing what they want, but they are not guided by chess players. And it's done.Like a vortex, it drags everyone into it with a force of destruction, and no one can escape.She suddenly wanted to laugh out loud and cry in pain, but she couldn't do anything, she could only say in a hoarse voice: "...Thank you very much."

"You don't need to thank me." Wu Yue said, "My lord, there are no accidents in this world. When a person dies, he dies. No matter how much you mourn and mourn, you will never come back. You and her were educated in the same class, and you are similar to being an official. She is so Go, I guess you know who killed her?"

Qingping carefully recalled the scene of the day, but she couldn't remember the last scene. She whispered: "I didn't see the appearance of those people. Commander Yu who came with Wu Ying before said that when they arrived in Fengfeng County Someone will answer."

But Wu Yue said: "No, it was definitely not the hand of King Qi. I'm afraid you don't know that King Yue committed a rebellion and died in Qianguangmen, and then King Qi was put under surveillance. Later, the Dali Temple was ordered to investigate the matter strictly. In this case, King Yue’s rebellion was led by King Qi, and even under the guise of presenting medicine, it almost caused an accident to His Majesty, and now she has been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, deposed from the title of Prince, and demoted to a commoner.”

Qingping couldn't believe it: "What?"

I don't know when the snow will fall. The palace people regularly clean the palace roads and shovel away the thick snow, but after a few hours, it is full of snow again.

The ice and snow outside the Zichen Palace have not yet melted, and it looks like a dormant beast under the dark sky. The huge and magnificent palace is painted with golden lacquer to describe the phoenix bird with wings ready to fly. According to the photo, the gorgeous and dignified posture is undoubtedly revealed.

The hall is warm and fragrant, and the decoration is elegant and elegant. Those white gauze futons have been removed to change the coldness and coldness of the empress's presence, and even the palace servants served fragrant tea, which made the cabinet ministers present feel relieved. Her Royal Highness is a gentle and benevolent person.

The content of this discussion is nothing more than to solve the current situation in Yunzhou. As soon as Chu Jun arrived at the scene, Zhan Xin, Minister of the Ministry of War, submitted it to the military newspaper, saying: "Your Highness, Yunzhou hastened to report that the Xirong army has captured Anping County. Gu Shanshan, the commander of the Sixth Army of Yunce Army, abandoned Yifeng County and fled. Now there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the city of Fengfeng County struggling to support them! Your Highness, I think the most urgent thing is to send more troops from various states to Yunzhou. If Yunzhou falls and the gates of the country are not protected, then it will be over!"

Chu Jun lowered his eyelids, moved his hand in his sleeve lightly, and before he could speak, someone below retorted: "Zhanbutang is really easy to say, it is a big deal to increase troops and horses from the six states, and it is necessary to call the state shepherds. Go to Beijing to discuss."

Zhan Xin said angrily: "Is there still time to call Zhou Mu to Beijing? During the war, everything is in a hurry. Mr. Wang means that Yunzhou can fall, right? Only thinking of reinforcements when you are burned? Let me tell you, it will be too late by then!"

The two were about to quarrel again, Chu Jun raised his head slightly, and said: "A matter of discussion is a matter of discussion, you are all cabinet ministers, and you are officials in the same dynasty, quarrels are quarrels, and you should work together on major issues."

She got up from the throne and walked down Majesty Dan.The ministers below saluted together, Chu Jun said: "Everyone, please rise up, there is no need to be too polite."

"I have read the Zhe Zigu submitted by the Ministry of War. The former commander-in-chief Yuan Feng made a mistake in using troops, which caused our army to lose 5 soldiers. It has been secretly escorted back to Beijing and will be dealt with when the war is over. Who else is in the army now? Can be promoted to coach? You may wish to talk about it."

Her eyebrows and eyes are cold, her pupils are like lacquer, and the lights in the room are so bright that they can't see them; Dare to look directly at it.

She stood in the hall and looked around, her skirt was slightly drawn up, her figure was graceful, she put her hands into her sleeves and asked, "Don't you all have a charter for how to do things?"
