Chang Suining took it and saw it was a neatly folded piece of letter paper.
She unfolded it and looked through the firelight. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Wei Shuyi: "... Commander Cui?"
Wei Shuyi, who then took out another object from his sleeve, was surprised when he heard this, "How did Mrs. Chang know about it?"
Chang Suining put away the list and said to him, "I have one too."
Uncle Wei understood it easily, and immediately showed another object and asked with a smile: "Ms. Chang has the list, but if you don't know this thing, does Mrs. Chang also have it?"
He originally asked this out of joking, but Chang Suining looked at it and nodded: "Yes."
Wei Shuyi laughed in surprise.
"I asked Cui Ling'an when someone went out to do something, why was he only allowed to bring half of the bronze talisman with him..." He looked at the half of the bronze talisman in his hand and said with a smile, "It turns out the other half is at Mrs. Chang's place."
This Cui Ling'an, when he likes someone, he really cares about everything and has no reservations.
He didn't know what he was thinking of, and there was contemplation and confusion in his lowered eyes until Chang Suining returned the list to him: "So, did Wei Shilang get help from the list of available people and tokens given by Governor Cui?"
"That's right." Wei Shuyi came back to his senses and sighed: "I have worked so hard for so long in vain. In the end, all the credit and limelight belong to him... Mrs. Chang should understand now why I avoided talking about it just now.
?”
Listening to this self-joking remark, Chang Sui Ning went to stir the fire to make it burn brighter, and said casually: "The merits of Wei Shilang are really reflected here."
If Cui Jing's bronze talisman and the list alone could safely and smoothly conquer the 80,000-strong army, she would have passed away long ago.
In addition to the help of Cui Jing, Wei Shuyi was able to accomplish this feat, as well as with his own extraordinary courage and strategy, as well as his status as an imperial envoy and the blessing of the imperial edict to punish Li Yi.
All in all, the right time, right place, and right people are indispensable. This is objective.
Wei Shuyi smiled when he heard this, turned slightly, faced her, and asked curiously: "In Madam Chang's opinion, who has made greater contributions, me or Cui Ling'an? If there is 100% success, how much do I get, and how much does Cui Ling'an get?"
become?"
Chang Sui Ning glanced at him: "If you want to share the merits and reward them, you should go to the saints."
Wei Shuyi laughed.
But he didn't just ask for reward.
But the girl was obviously not interested in sharing the credit, and only asked him: "I wonder where, when, and from whom did Wei Shilang get the token of Governor Cui?"
"Before entering Shouzhou." Wei Shuyi replied: "From the hands of General Cui Yuanxiang."
Chang Suining was a little surprised. Yuanxiang came to Jiangnan?
Moreover, Wei Shuyi's entry into Shouzhou must have been at least ten days ago. Based on this calculation, Yuan Xiang must have left the northern border half a month ago.
Half a month ago, the battle with Hezhou was not over yet...
So, after Cui Jing learned about the war in Hezhou, did he ask Yuan Xiang to come to Jiangnan with his token to help?
Wei Shuyi's voice sounded with emotion: "It can be seen that although Governor Cui is in the northern border and cannot leave without permission, he has always been paying attention to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River..."
I also always remember the people in Jiangnan.
Wei Shuyi looked at the girl beside him and said with a smile: "Thanks to him caring so much about Jiangnan, I was able to take advantage of this."
"Shilang Wei's luck in picking up bargains is indeed good." Chang Suining agreed with him and asked, "Where are Yuan Xiang and the others at this time?"
Wei Shuyi said: "It was Yuan Xiang and the others who secretly escorted me and General Xiao all the way to conquer the 80,000-strong army——"
This journey is not smooth. It is not easy to detect and avoid Xu Zhengye's eyes and ears. Every step of the way is thrilling.
When we arrived at the military camp, the difficulties and dangers were even greater. The deputy general named Yu Zai was very arrogant, and melees were inevitable.
It can be said that the people brought by him and General Xiao are all good players, but when faced with such a situation, they are far less comfortable than Yuan Xiang and others.
After all, he is from an elite division such as Xuance Army, and has been Cui Jing's capable subordinate on the battlefield for many years. Even though Cui Yuanxiang always seems to be missing a few muscles on weekdays...
But after seeing it with his own eyes, Wei Shuyi realized where the opponent's missing tendons were used.
But this phenomenon of "every loss must be followed by a gain" made Changji powerless and autistic for a time - so the only one who really lacked strength and strings was himself?
Changji could not accept this fact and tried to find out where his missing muscle was, but to no avail.
Wei Shuyi said: "In order to meet General Chang in time, General Xiao and I led the front army first, and the rear army was slower. In order to prevent the enemy from traveling on the road, Yuan Xiang and the others followed and held the line in order to control the situation."
Chang Suining nodded: "This is very good and very safe."
"Thanks to Yuan Xiang and the others for this trip." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "No matter how the saint divides the credit, I have to thank Cui Ling'an."
As he said that, he looked at Chang Suining with a smile: "I would like to thank Mrs. Chang even more for allowing me to get a big contribution without any effort."
The word "you" refers to the incident of Zhao Fu in Hezhou.
At that time, he stood in front of the teahouse window and watched two "little thieves" slip into his car. The little thief was very particular and left him a piece of broken silver when leaving as a temporary refuge.
remuneration.
Underneath the broken silver lies the confession of the Zhoujiacun kidnapper couple.
That was the first time he met her.
Thanks to the few confessions she left behind, he was able to seize Zhao Fu's handle very smoothly, which really saved trouble and effort.
This time it was even easier. He originally came to arrest Li Yi, but he didn't even touch the corner of Li Yi's clothes, so someone helped him finish his errand.
"Speaking of it, Wei was able to successfully complete his mission twice as an imperial envoy. I really want to thank Mrs. Chang." He smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mrs. Chang is not Wei's lucky star."
He was joking with half truth and half lies, but his thoughts once drifted back to the time when he first met Hezhou, and it was difficult to get away.
Looking at the girl warming herself by the fire in front of him, he suddenly thought of Cui Jing's words "I'm sorry, I can't say" on that rainy night in the temple, and the mysterious Goddess Tower.
"I also want to thank Minister Wei." Chang Sui Ning said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Shuyi looked at her with a smile: "Mrs. Chang, what do you want to thank me for?"
"Thank you for letting me kill Li Yi."
"Thank you for not dragging me down with you?"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Chang Suining glanced at him: "They are all there."
Wei Shuyi then laughed again, his laughter hearty and broad.
"However, when it comes to killing Li Yi, Xu Zhengye's secret..." He stopped laughing after a while, stretched out his hands and put them on the fire to roast. His hands were like a man, with long knuckles.
Her complexion is fair and moist, and her hands are only used to hold pens.
He said unhurriedly: "I asked the aide to be interrogated, and according to what he finally revealed, Xu Zhengye's secret is that he is naturally beautiful..."
Why should Xu Zhengye be so beautiful and keep it a secret?
Chang Suining: "It's hard for him to do something for a secret that is nothing."
If the interrogation continues, a series of secrets about how Xu Zhengye eats, drinks, and cleans his house every day will be revealed.
This staff member was also unlucky to follow such a lord and even dug a hole for him before he died.
But thinking that what Li Yi did was mostly instigated by his staff, Chang Sui Ning couldn't help but feel that the two were trying to achieve each other's success, and no one was more unlucky.
"However, this person recognized something important..." Wei Shuyi looked more serious: "He said that the reason why Li Yi was able to secretly kill He Wei was because he knew the plan of the saint Yi Shuai in advance and was about to replace him.
The person - it is said that he got a secret letter to inform him, but Li Yi didn't know who wrote the letter."
Chang Suining already knew this from Li Yi, and said at this moment: "Therefore, there must be a traitor in the capital, only in the court, close to the emperor."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to know such secret news in advance.
Wei Shuyi looked at her subconsciously: "This traitor...Ms. Chang, is there anyone you suspect?"
Chang Suining shook his head: "I don't know much about what's going on around the emperor, so I can't doubt or guess. But I have some doubts about who the traitor is -"
Wei Shuyi looked at her seriously.
There are ears everywhere. Chang Suining took the branch that was playing with the fire and wrote a word next to the fire.
Rong...
Prince Rong's Mansion, Prince Rong, Crown Prince Rong?
Wei Shuyi's eyes changed slightly and he asked in a low voice: "Why does Mrs. Chang have such suspicion?"
"Because he once told me personally that Li Yijun has his informant, so he has the conditions to pass on the secret message." Chang Sui Ning said: "Furthermore, he is watching the fire from the other side, adding fuel to the flames, and acting with the character of wanting to reap the benefits.
His style is also very similar to what I know about him."
he?
Prince Rong?
Wei Shuyi thought of that sickly face. Obviously, the Li Lu in the eyes of the world was almost completely different from the person she just described.
He was thinking and curious. How did he know about the "him I know" she said?
"Of course, I am just guessing and there is no solid evidence. You just need to be careful to investigate and be on guard." Chang Suining finally said.
"Wei understands that I will report it to the saint and be careful when saying goodbye."
Chang Sui Ning didn't say anything anymore, just took the branch and scratched out the word "Rong" one by one.
Wei Shuyi looked at her movements and said with a smile: "Ms. Chang cherishes the country."
He said: "I thought that after Chang Langjun's incident, Mrs. Chang would be a little bit uncomfortable with the way she treats the court and the saints..."
His words were very tactful. After all, what she did that day in the Confucius Temple was an exaggeration to say that she was on a par with a saint.
But at this time, she took the initiative to mention the suspicious aspects of Li Lu and where Prince Rong's palace might have extended its hands, asking the saint to ask the court to be on guard.
However, she heard her say: "There is no conflict between the two."
Wei Shuyi was startled. Does this mean that he has a heart for the country and cannot bear to see the saints and the imperial court? Is this not in conflict?
"You can't stand it, so you have to go against her all the time?" Chang Suining did not deny that he "couldn't stand it" for the empress.
She had no intention of retaliating against the other party. In her opinion, there was always a clean slate between her and Empress Ming.
Of course, she had no intention of helping.
She is just doing what she wants to do, and there is no clear boundary between it. How she does it all depends on whether she needs it or not. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.
If the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is really related to Prince Rong's palace, then she can only deal with the problem and not the person.
Wei Shuyi looked at the girl through the firelight.
He couldn't help but think of the look in her eyes that expressed injustice for He Wei today. She and He Wei had never had any interaction before. Her injustice was the regret and unwillingness for a military commander to die in vain.
Wei Shuyi suddenly realized that her behavior seemed to have broken away from the ordinary sense of likes and dislikes and the so-called distance.
At this moment, through the girl's magnanimous and calm eyebrows, he saw the vast and vast galaxy farther behind her.
The sense of vastness he saw at this moment originated from the galaxy and also from her.
Wei Shuyi rarely felt so truly ashamed of himself, or he had never done so before, even though he was still smiling: "It's because Wei's thoughts and views are narrow-minded."
"No, I'm also very narrow-minded." Chang Sui Ning said: "A lot of times."
Wei Shuyi smiled and said: "Then you and I are like birds of a feather flocking together?"
Chang Suining looked at him: "Isn't it too blunt?"
Wei Shuyi laughed again.
It's really stiff.
When he chatted with people, he rarely used such blunt nonsense... He knew very well that this was abnormal.
Chang Suining asked him about Mrs. Duan's current situation, and also asked about Wei Miaoqing's appointment as the crown princess.
Wei Shuyi: "Don't worry, everything is fine, just wait and see..."
Chang Suining nodded and asked him again: "But then again, how come Wei Shilang is here as the imperial envoy for this trip?"
These words were asking him whether he was following the Holy Order or if he had something else going on.
Wei Shuyi smiled slightly and replied: "Holy orders cannot be violated."
At this time, Vice General Jin came over and saluted with cupped fists.
"General, please invite the girl and Minister Wei to come over."
Chang Sui Ning dropped the branch and stood up.
Wei Shuyi followed and asked her in a low voice on the way: "...Do you think Li Yi really knows any of Xu Zhengye's secrets?"
"You definitely don't know when you're alive," Chang Sui Ning said, "You might not know after you die and become a ghost."
Wei Shuyi suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck and couldn't help but glance behind him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is true that he is afraid of ghosts.
This is probably the only thing Wei Shilang has in common with his mother.
Chang Suining's comment on this is - whatever you are afraid of will come to you.
It would be best for him never to know her true identity, otherwise she might not be able to deal with Duan Zhenyi if she gets scared.
But thinking about his repeated attempts to give up, I can't help but feel that this person is really good and fun-loving.
"...What if he really knew something when he was alive?" Wei Shuyi shook off his fear and continued the topic: "Then Wei just watched Mrs. Chang kill him, wouldn't he be in big trouble?"
Chang Suining understood: "Could it be that Minister Wei wants to gain favor from me?"
Wei Shuyi smiled and said: "I don't dare."
Chang Suining didn't intend to pay attention to him, so he said: "Don't worry, I won't let you fail to pay the job."
"Oh?" Wei Shuyi turned to look at her.
"I will take back Yangzhou from Xu Zhengye." She said: "I can win against him without any false secrets."
The girl's tone was casual, as if she was talking about what to eat for midnight snack.
Wei Shuyi smiled and asked her: "Why does Mrs. Chang believe so firmly?"
"On the battlefield, of course you must increase your prestige."
While the girl was talking, a soldier opened the curtain for her in front of her, and she bent slightly and walked into the tent.
Wei Shuyi took a few steps late and looked at the back with a smile in his eyes.
No one knew that he had just lied.
He ventured south on this trip, not because he could not disobey the sacred order, but because he came on his own initiative.
Because he also has someone he cares about in Jiangnan.
Seeing that Qing was fine, he felt at ease, but what he heard and saw made the fog in his heart grow stronger...
At this moment, A Dian's innocent words suddenly sounded in his ears——
Is it "exactly the same" as His Highness the former Crown Prince?
After a while, Wei Shuyi raised his feet and followed into the tent.
