It was another night of quiet moonlight, and the capital city once again welcomed the rising sun.
The chaotic fight last night did not affect the small vendors in the streets and alleys who opened their doors on time. The fragrant meat buns and bowls of tofu puffs quickly woke up the people who were still sleeping.
"Girl, that's what happened..."
In Miaoyu's small courtyard, a maid in green stood behind Miaoyu and whispered something. Miaoyu stood in front of the window, her eyebrows furrowed.
If the person behind her had not been one of her own who was sent from the Marquis Mansion to the Rongguo Mansion, she would have suspected that she had heard wrongly. Xichun's previous coma was not due to frailty, but to other reasons.
I heard from the other party that this girl was in a coma again, and she didn't even know what to say.
"Didn't the family go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for an imperial doctor?"
The maid in green nodded and continued: "I have already gone to invite the girl, but because the last time the girl went there, several masters and men recovered without medicine, so the old lady asked me to invite the girl to go there again."
Miaoyu was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.
"They know you are the person sent by the Marquis??"
Lu Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Last night, the imperial concubine was assassinated. I had no choice but to take action. Later, Miss Xichun revealed that I was from the Hou Mansion."
Hearing this, Miaoyu sighed.
"The imperial concubine is not injured, is she?"
Lu Yi hummed softly.
"It happens to be this time again. If the Marquis were not here, those people would not dare to cause trouble at this time, no matter how brave they are."
Thinking of Jia Qi, who had not heard from him for a long time, Miaoyu felt a little melancholy inexplicably.
Standing behind Miaoyu, Luyi saw the girl's disappointment. She wanted to tell the truth, but she hesitated again and again and swallowed the words that had reached her throat.
Before she came, Jia Chu told him that during the time he disappeared, the Hou Mansion might have become a key area under surveillance, and his news could not be told to Miaoyu in the Hou Mansion.
"That's all! Fortunately, there's nothing to do today, so I'll just go with you!"
Miaoyu stood there for a while, called Guan Ziyue, who was waiting at her side, and asked her to go to Cailuan to talk to her, and then followed Luyi to Guogong's Mansion.
Along the way, Lu Yi didn't behave at all strangely. Miao Yu felt a little strange. Xichun was unconscious anyway, but Lu Yi didn't seem to be restless and anxious.
She was not very familiar with the group of people sent by Jia Qi, but she still knew their origins. They were brought back by Jia Qi from the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone's skills were extremely good, and they were the best in the world.
A capable person who can take charge of a faction.
She lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced outside. The carriage was going to the Duke's Mansion, and there were guards from the Marquis' Mansion beside her. In addition, Lu Yi was Jia Qi's person, so she suppressed the strange feeling and thought about it.
It seems that the other party is a determined person, so that he can remain calm and unafraid in the face of danger.
In the Marquis Mansion, Cai Luan stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and then handed the latest information in her hand to Old Monster Xu, who was shaking his head and enjoying his tea.
"The latest information from the front."
Old Monster Xu shook his head slightly, "The general is out, and military orders are not obeyed. Girl, I have to say something, that boy Xu Yuanhui, despite his young age, has fought in a lot of battles, even in
The old generals in the DPRK may not be as good as him. What we need to do is to provide backup, and we can leave the rest to this guy."
Regarding the march and fighting, Cai Luan knew everything but knew nothing. She had no problem with murder, arson, and poisoning, so she had a headache after seeing this information.
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those idiots who overestimates my capabilities. I won't give random orders to things I don't understand."
Old Monster Xu chuckled.
"Girl, let Lao Xu tell the truth, it is really a blessing for the Marquis to have such a virtuous wife as you!"
Cai Luan closed her eyes, sat on the chair of the Eight Immortals, and suddenly said: "Okay, stop flattering, it's all for ourselves, for the sake of Mr. Hou. How is the investigation in Liaodong?"
Old Monster Xu stretched out his hand and stroked his goatee, with a cautious look in his eyes.
In his opinion, things in Liaodong are far more important than things nearby, that is, things in Zhili, Hebei. The Snow Dragon Cavalry has extraordinary combat power and high mobility. Even in the worst possible outcome, they can run away.
But Liaodong is their foundation, especially if things like thunderbolts are circulated, the consequences will be serious.
If an ordinary elite piece of equipment is equipped with thunderbolts, its lethality can increase exponentially. Even if it is against the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, it is difficult to say whether it will win or lose.
"I've sent someone to check it out, and I won't be able to reply until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. But I guess Guo Yingjing doesn't have the courage. The real situation still needs to be investigated!"
Cai Luan nodded after hearing what Old Monster Xu said.
"The incident last night has come to an end now. The secret guards found nothing in the Duke's Mansion, and several dead men died. The imperial concubine was assassinated, and the person who saved her was Lu Yi, a little girl."
Old Monster Xu nodded. He came from Liaodong and didn't have much contact with this group of people from Jiangnan. However, he was lucky enough to see their skills. As far as he was concerned, these people only stayed with him to look after homes and nursing homes.
It's really a waste of talent but little use. If it is spread out and operated properly, the entire world of Dakang can be unified, and then it can be regarded as leaving a way out for the Hou Mansion.
"There is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. In the letter from the spy, the prince seems to be plotting against Xichun. Mr. Xu, do you have any good way to make him retreat in this matter?"
The old man shook his head.
He had met Xichun when the other person's soul was awakening. He was not interested in suspenseful matters, so subconsciously he thought that he didn't need to worry about Xichun's affairs at all. If those people really dared to come, then the little girl
One look can extinguish all the enthusiasm of the other party.
"Girl, that eldest lady is not an ordinary mistress. If she and the Marquis were not related by blood, I would have doubted that they were brothers and sisters! Normally, you wouldn't be able to tell, but at a critical moment, the eldest lady is not afraid of danger.
He looks almost exactly like the Marquis."
Hearing this, Cai Luan couldn't help but become speechless.
In Zhili, Hebei, inside a large tent of a military camp, Xu Yuanhui's eyes flickered unsteadily. Over the past few days, Prince Dongping's people were treated like rats crossing the street and they chased them around, almost daring not to go ashore.
But at the same time, a problem also arose. The Snow Dragon Cavalry was at a disadvantage in water warfare. On the water, it suffered several losses at the hands of Prince Dongping. Now the opponent was thinking of delaying tactics, which made him feel helpless.
"Report!! General, secret message from the house!"
