Chapter 4: The Cracks in the Brothers' Wall
The birth of two children brought encouragement to Bai Zejun. After the banquet, Baoqing City was still very lively. Meng Yan in the governor's palace seemed to have forgotten that there was still war on the front line and devoted himself wholeheartedly to taking care of his wife and children.
, the internal affairs of the Governor's Mansion were completely handed over to Meng Yan's cheap sister Su Qing. At this moment, Su Qing was pouting with an unhappy look on her face, while Quartz kept nodding and bowing.
"Miss Su, under Su's command, Ye Shuai has been scolding me on the front line. Can you be so noble as to let me go in and talk to the Duke?" Quartz's attitude was so low as to be shameless.
Su Qing frowned and said, "It's not that I won't let you in, it's because the Duke has said that no one will see you. It's all a good thing you did!"
Quartz knew that Meng Yan's hiding in the inner house was just because he was dissatisfied with his subordinates. Nie Huan had been sent to Ye Bohuai's army to take charge of food and grass. All the other participants were ordered by Meng Yan to return to their respective positions.
You are not allowed to enter Baoqing without a collar, and you can stay because Bai Zewei is still in the city for security.
"Commander Su, you know that Ye Shuai is the commander of the Bai Ze Army. His orders do not violate the authorization of the Military Council. We subordinates cannot violate it, right?" Shi Ying decisively betrayed Ye Bohuai, but from then on
Ye Bohuai never denied it from beginning to end.
"That's the answer. If you reveal your wife, I won't mind throwing you into the river." Su Qing said with a hidden knife in her smile.
"Thank you Su for showing mercy, can I go in?" Quartz said with a flattering look on her face.
Su Qing shook his head and said: "Don't go in. Do you really think that the Duke doesn't know what the wife is doing? The Duke just lets you go. It's best to let Zhuo Hou handle the matter in Gosying Ridge. It belongs to the Duke."
Test, you must know that Hengyang is our future base camp, and Zhuohou will most likely stay in Hengyang."
"Su's instructions mean that the Duke intends to let Zhuohou establish his prestige in Hengyang?"
"Yes, Hengyang is the throat of the north and the south at all times. Control of Hengyang must be precise. It is impossible for Ye Shuai to control one side, but Zhuo Hou is good at this." Su Qing said with a serious expression.
"I understand," Quartz hesitated, "It's just that Madam wanted Meng Jin and Meng Huan to make some achievements and stabilize their status."
"There are plenty of opportunities. Don't get into trouble with the Duke at this time." Su Qing had a tough attitude. Although she was not involved, she still knew Cang Shu Haoyue. Cang Shu Haoyue hoped that Bai Zejun would be more like the Meng family army, but Meng Yan
attitude and a series of
All his operations showed that he did not want to turn the army into his own private army. At this time, Meng Yan used the excuse to stay behind closed doors. First, he expressed dissatisfaction with his subordinates' private communication; second, he cut off Cang Shu Haoyue's contact with everyone; third, he
Confusing some big guys in Chencheng.
Su Qing watched Shi Ying leave the courtyard, and was about to return to the inner house to take care of Cang Shu Haoyue, when a sudden voice came out from behind, making her startled into a cold sweat.
"You should tell him the most important thing right now. It's easy for everyone to guess wrong." Meng Yan stood quietly behind Su Qing while holding the two children.
"My lord, they must be taught a lesson if they work together in private." Su Qing prevaricated.
"Forget it, you are causing trouble for them just because they have murderous intentions for you," Meng Yan then handed the boy to Su Qing and said, "Suli... Qing'er, I still can't change.
Have you really thought about it? You know I don’t force it, but I can’t bear to do two things at once.”
"After the lady left me here, there were no more private words in the correspondence. I understand her intentions. Madam talked to me before. Don't worry, I am Su Qing, not Suli." Su Qing did not hesitate.
, very firm.
Meng Yan nodded with satisfaction and once again confirmed Su Qing's attitude. He did not need Su Qing's loyalty to him. He needed a Su Qing whom he could trust in terms of character and could be entrusted with some things.
The daughter in Meng Yan's arms moved, and Meng Yan was so frightened that she swayed gently, and gave Su Qing a silencing gesture, and whispered: "We can't do nothing about Goshawk Ridge, Zhuo Bai
Ling is a good defensive general, and he has little trouble attacking. You ask Shi Ying to inform Yu Geng to support him later tomorrow. Ask Thirteenth Lang to come over later and I will talk to him.
Please do something for me." After saying that, his eyes fixed on Su Qing, and then said: "You ask Shi Ying to take Bai Zewei to replace the internal guards of the Governor's Mansion. You take the internal guards to Mingjian Division and tell Shi Ying that he will do what Bai Zewei should do in the future.
As long as the protection is provided, don't worry about other things. The safety of the wife and the inner house is also entrusted to you. At the critical moment, you listen to the wife."
Su Qing's body trembled. Meng Yan actually handed over the whole family to him. This kind of trust has surpassed the relationship between the master and the maid. Meng Yan really regarded her as a relative. For a maid to be able to do this, it is unprecedented in ancient and modern times.
I'm afraid Zhaoyang is the only one I have contact with.
The empress's inner minister was polite. Su Qing suppressed the excitement in her heart, but it was still difficult to conceal her emotions. She said in a trembling tone: "My lord, I can't confirm whether I can do it well. What I can guarantee is that
I am the last line of defense."
Meng Yan smiled and persuaded: "Don't be so nervous. In the army, you and I are in a superior-subordinate relationship. In the house, you are my child's aunt. If you are so nervous, I dare not entrust you to you."
Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My lord, how dare I compete with Sanniang?"
"What are you pretending to be!" Meng Yan scolded softly with a smile.
All Su Qing's knots and sorrows were swept away, and he turned to say: "My lord, is the punishment for Shi Ying a bit severe?"
"What? Can't bear to leave?" Meng Yan had the idea of teasing.
Su Qing's heart tightened, and a blush immediately appeared on her face, which made her look a little nervous, "My lord, I'm talking to you about something serious."
"Hahaha! Ah Yue and I both think you and Shi Ying are a good match. It seems that this matter will be put on the agenda." Meng Yan had no intention of letting Su Qing go.
"Jun Gong! You are also the Governor after all, so what does it mean to work with people every day to provide fiber and matchmaking services?" Su Qing became anxious and her face turned red.
"Okay, okay! This matter is not urgent." Seeing that the purpose of teasing had been achieved, Meng Yan immediately changed the subject and said: "This kid Shi Ying did indeed go too far this time. He forgot that he is mine.
No matter what the reason is for them to get together, it is wrong. What I want is a pure leader of the internal defense, and I do intend to beat him.
Thinking, but it is not a punishment. The role of the Mingjian Division has become more and more prominent. Quartz is not a good spy. I intentionally divided the Mingjian Division into two parts: Bai Zewei and Neiwei. You are in charge of the Neiwei, and you are the best eyes and ears.
; Bai Zewei entrusted him with the responsibility for the safety of the generals. He is the best shield. Our road will not be so easy in the future."
"But what happened?" Su Qing has become more and more sensitive since taking charge of the Mingjian Division. She does not think that Meng Yan's arrangement was a temporary decision.
"You should know who is in charge of the spy over there, right?"
"The prince of Zhanchuan County has a unicorn in royal robes. Wen Jun is in charge of the south office, and Xu Yu is in charge of the north office. They are very powerful, but these two people seem to have appeared out of nowhere. I haven't been able to find out their identities yet," Su Qing said to him.
This matter is very confusing,
These two people were too mysterious. They tried to send people to investigate several times, but they all failed. Although no lives were hurt, the damage was not small. He also captured some people in Jinyi Qilin. Su Qing's final decision was to let
They disappeared.
Meng Yan sighed softly, thinking of Chen Cheng's letter, and said: "You don't need to inquire about their details anymore. Let me tell you, the commander of Jinyi Nanya is my senior brother, formerly An Ye Fochan;" and then paused.
Said: "The commander of Jinyi Beiya is Gu Yingfeng. The man you sent fell into the hands of my senior brother. He still has one life left. If he had fallen into the hands of Gu Yingfeng, he would have been dead."
"Uh! This..." Su Qing was surprised.
"Commander Su, the road ahead will be long and arduous, are you ready?" Meng Yan made a pun. He already knew that the relationship between himself and Xiao Yu had inevitably cracked, and the two sides had entered the beginning of testing.
Su Qing was not too surprised by Wen Juan's identity. What shocked her was that Gu Yingfeng turned out to be the commander of Jinyi Beiya. When the young lady took Gu Yingfeng away, she thought that the young lady wanted to use Gu Yingfeng's identity to attack Fan Lihu and others.
No one would have thought that Gu Yingfeng would appear among the unicorns in brocade robes.
"Thank you, Duke, for reminding me. I will know what to do in the future. These two are indeed a bit tricky, but I am not someone to be trifled with. Don't they know the consequences of provoking a woman?" Su Qing was a little dissatisfied with Zhong Roulan's actions.
"You are not their opponent yet. If you have any difficulty, you can go to Ye Bohuai for help." Meng Yan knew that Su Qing had grown a lot in taking charge of the Mingjian Division, but for the senior spies, there were still two, and now Su Qing still
There is a long way to go. I am not completely sure about dealing with the two of them. Only Ye Bohuai, an old fox, is qualified. However, Ye Bohuai is a tortoise and will definitely not move without dialing it. If you find an opportunity, you should have a good chat with him.
chat.
Su Qing meditated while swaying the child in her arms. After a while, she saw Meng Yan, who was not in a hurry, carelessly teasing the little girl who had just woken up. It suddenly dawned on her that Meng Yan had always done things.
If you stay behind, you must be able to find out the identities of those two people.
He prepared his backup plan and said with a smile: "Yes, this Gu Yingfeng was fooled by Ye Shuai in Shaonanguan. Could it be that if he becomes Xu Yu, he will be Ye Shuai's opponent? And Wen Juan is Ye Shuai.
You and your senior fellow apprentices will also be more merciful to me, right?"
"Ghost girl, you've learned a lot from Sanniang!" Meng Yan scolded with a smile.
The two of them walked into the inner house while chatting and laughing, swinging the child.
Cang Shu Haoyue was lying on the bed holding Mrs. Tang in her arms and was furious when she saw the two of them talking and laughing as they walked in. Meng Yan knew that she had contacted the general privately and planned to force him into the palace. She thought she would at least give him a lesson, but in the end she just locked the inner chamber.
He didn't say anything else. The rhetoric he had prepared was of no use at all. At this moment, the child he gave birth to was not given to him. He was occupied by the two people in front of him all day long, and he was very angry.
"My surname is Meng, I know I was wrong, but you can't bully me like this. I have done meritorious deeds for your Meng family." Cang Shu Haoyue's confident attitude of admitting her mistake made Meng Yan feel even more adorable.
"Madam, why don't you take good care of your health? You don't have to worry about other things. Do you intend to take care of your husband if you leave him alone?" Meng Yan was ready to bicker. This was the first time since Cang Shu Haoyue gave birth to the child.
Daily essential homework, bickering and getting angry diverted Cang Shu Haoyue's attention from the child.
Cang Shu Haoyue felt that she would always lose when quarreling with Meng Yan. She saw Su Qing standing by and teasing her son. Well, today she was angry somewhere. She cleared her throat and shouted at Su Qing: "You bastard."
The girl hasn't seen anyone all day, and your wife is almost bullied to death! You don't care, that's my son, not yours!"
"Madam, don't let me offend you if you can't offend the Duke," Su Qing looked innocent. Suddenly Su Qing thought of something and said with a smile: "Madam, the Duke has said that I will be in charge of the inner house from now on!"
After listening to this, Cang Shu Haoyue lay down straight, thinking that she had no freedom at all.
