Chapter 64
After returning to Jiangdong, Ling Qiyou still temporarily stayed in the Prince Xuan's Mansion. The military brochures from the front line would be sent to him every five days. The battle was already unfolding in an orderly manner, and the situation was always looking good. The direction of development, and according to the booklet, the war will be resolved within three to two months.
Ling Qiyou has been in a good mood recently, especially when he received a private letter from Xiao Chuqian, he held a letter in his hand and read it over and over again, with a smile on his lips, and sometimes it was just like that He stared at it in a daze, of course, except for the military memorial, he still didn't reply a single word to the private message.
Regarding this matter, Shen Lexin was really curious about his attitude, once when she was very bored, she asked, Ling Qiyou smiled, and still used the same rhetoric: "I don't want to distract him."
Shen Lexin curled her lips: "Your Majesty must be quarreling. He obviously likes it very much, but he deliberately didn't show it to him."
Ling Qiyou glanced at him: "Restrain yourself, don't always think about giving things to Ling Jing, he is fighting a war now, he really can't be distracted."
"I have a sense of proportion." Shen Lexin laughed perfunctorily, glanced at the folder Ling Qiyou casually threw on the table, and frowned: "They want to use the strategy of luring snakes out of their holes to divide the troops of the Southern Kingdom?"
Ling Qiyou nodded. Liusha City is the largest fortress city in the border area between the Southern Kingdom and the Dasheng Dynasty. Once it breaks through, it will be able to drive straight into the hinterland. At that time, the other party will have only two choices, either surrender and agree to peace talks or destroy the country. Now the soldiers and horses of the Dasheng Dynasty have been deployed to launch an attack here, but the Quicksand City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Southern Kingdom has mobilized another [-] soldiers and horses to garrison here. They have been besieged here for almost a month, and there is still no one. Little progress.
"Use Xiao Chuqian as bait to lead some soldiers and horses around Liusha City and head east. As long as they are well deployed, they can deceive the people of the southern country, making them mistakenly think that the main force of my Great Sheng Dynasty is in Xiao Chuqian's hands, and let them guard in Liusha City. Even if we only need to transfer half of them, Ling Jing will bring a real large army to launch a frontal attack on it, and it will be much easier to take it down."
"Xiao Chuqian only brought 2 people disguised as 10 people as bait...Are you really not worried at all?"
"..."
After a long silence, Ling Qiyou finally sighed softly: "Worry."
"……Did not see it."
Ling Qiyou took a sip of hot tea: "But I trust him."
Since Xiao Chuqian had promised that he would come back safely, he would definitely come back safely.
Shen Lexin laughed: "He must be very happy to know."
Ling Qiyou also raised the corners of his lips.
The two of them were talking, when someone came in to report, saying that it was the empress who asked her majesty to come down and have something to tell her majesty.
Ling Qiyou frowned when he heard that, the news of Xu Chongqing's death did not spread, Ling Qiyou ordered people to suppress it tightly, and anyone who dared to leak the news would be killed without mercy. Before the war in the southern country was settled and he returned to Beijing, They didn't want to deal with this matter. Firstly, they were worried about Empress Dowager Xu. Secondly, even though the Xu family had been uprooted by his stupid father and emperor, Xu Chongqing still won over many forces in the court after returning to the court. Right now Dasheng Dynasty is at war with the Southern Kingdom, he doesn't want to have any troubles again at this time, besides, the talisman has not been obtained yet, where exactly is Xu Chongqing hiding it, he sent someone to investigate in private, before the thing is in his hands, he will Don't want to act rashly.
It was precisely because of this that Queen Xu Xinlan was placed under house arrest by his order and was not dealt with, but at this moment she suddenly said that she wanted to see her, why did it sound suspicious?
"Are you really going to see her?" Shen Lexin was a little worried about this, and couldn't figure out what that woman was doing.
Ling Qiyou hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go and meet."
But things were beyond their expectation. Half an hour later, when Shen Lexin was playing with the three children boredly, Ling Qiyou finally came back with a strange expression on his face. Shen Lexin asked Yu Wenhong to accompany the little one Mantou played with Shizi, and pouted at Ling Qiyou.
Ling Qiyou handed him the thing in his hand, which was a heavy gold sign. Shen Lexin took it and looked it over carefully, and finally opened his eyes wide in surprise: "This is the talisman of the Xu family. ?”
Ling Qiyou nodded.
"Xu Xinlan gave it to you?"
"Well, before she married into the palace, she stole this from Xu Chongqing first..."
"Then why didn't she take this out when Xu Chongqing threatened her before?"
"Take it," Ling Qiyou said coldly: "But it's useless, Xu Chongqing doesn't care about this thing at all, in fact, it is, what's the use of a talisman, those soldiers are not dead, where can you rely on it completely?" A talisman is nothing to talk about, and if all connections are removed, this thing will be useless."
So before Xu Chongqing was cornered and threatened his daughter to hijack the crown prince, even if Xu Xinlan said that the talisman was in his hands, he didn't care about it at all. Unfortunately, the dog jumped the wall and died in the hands of the southerners in the end.
"Then Xu Xinlan is now..."
"She said all she wanted was death."
"You want to give her to death?"
Ling Qiyou pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it, she didn't do it on purpose, my uncle is already dead, if she is also executed, it will be hard for the queen mother to explain, and announce the death of the queen, let her go."
Shen Lexin raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty doesn't want to kill the weeds this time?"
"It's just a woman, forget it." Ling Qiyou shook his head.
"What about this one?" Shen Lexin shook the talisman in her hand.
Ling Qiyou took it back, rubbed it in his hand for a while, called the clown over, and gave some instructions in a low voice.
The clown retreated in response, and after a while, he brought a jar, which was filled with an unpleasant smell, Ling Qiyou didn't hesitate, and directly threw the talisman in his hand, Shen Lexin probed Look, it's been integrated...
"It's a piece of solid gold, it can be polished and polished to make jewelry..."
Ling Qiyou is so generous, Shen Le feels pain for him.
"All of King Xuan's wealth is yours, it's just a piece of gold, what about it?" Ling Qiyou really felt dumbfounded.
"Who would think there is too much gold..."
Ling Qiyou smiled and didn't say any more, and ordered someone to pass on the meal. It's almost winter, but Ling Qiyou didn't have much appetite. He put down his chopsticks after eating two mouthfuls these days. He stopped his chopsticks before eating, and asked doubtfully, "No appetite?"
Ling Qiyou shook his head: "I don't want to eat."
"I see that you haven't been in a good spirit these two days. Are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to feel your pulse?"
"No need, it's nothing serious." Ling Qiyou didn't take it to heart at all: "Probably because I didn't rest well, I'll go to bed early and rest, and I should be fine after a good night's sleep."
Since he said so, Shen Lexin didn't ask any more questions, after having dinner, and playing chess with Ling Qiyou for a while, she took Shizi and Yu Wenhong back to her residence.
Ling Qiyou also felt tired early in the morning, his eyelids were fighting, Xiao Mantou played all day and didn't sleep at all during the day, and now he has leaned against him and raised his head and hands, and fell asleep.
Ling Qiyou smiled, hugged the little guy to the bed, didn't ask anyone to come in to serve him, and closed his eyes when he lay down.
Although he was very tired, he actually didn't sleep very soundly. He had vague and messy dreams all night. He woke up several times during the period, his body was covered in cold sweat, but he couldn't remember what happened in his dream. After seeing something, Xiao Mantou was sleeping soundly in his arms, and he felt a little comfort only when he was holding his son.
Restless eyelids keep twitching, even though I can't say clearly, I have a vague premonition in my heart, and I won't be able to sleep at all in the middle of the night, just staring at the beam on the top of the bed, trying to think about what happened to me before. They all dreamed about something, but couldn't seem to find a clue.
Before dawn, there was a short knock on the door, Ling Qiyou didn't sleep at all, and quickly answered: "What's the matter?"
The clown anxiously reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report."
Feeling his eyelids twitch, Ling Qiyou sat up abruptly, put on his clothes casually, and ordered loudly: "Send it in quickly!"
The clown came in with the soldier delivering the military report, and lit the lamp for Ling Qiyou. The soldier knelt down and presented the military report. Ling Qiyou took it, browsed it quickly, and was completely stunned.
The military report was posted by Ling Jing. The troops of the Dasheng Dynasty had broken through the Quicksand City, but Xiao Chuqian, the general who led the troops as a bait, disappeared on the battlefield, and his life and death were uncertain.
"His Majesty……"
The clown looked at him in a daze, and gave a soft cry of concern.
Ling Qiyou came back to his senses, the little soldier kneeling on the ground was still waiting for his reply, and forced himself to calm down, he slowly said: "I know the matter, you go back first, I will call the ministers to discuss it later and will come back later." order to deal with it."
The voice trembling unconsciously, even hoarse, the soldier who reported the incident had already retreated, Ling Qiyou still maintained the same posture just now, looking at the military newspaper in his hand, his clenched fingers almost pinched into the palm of his hand Here, the clown looked very worried and reached out to help him, but Ling Qiyou waved his hand: "You... stand down..."
"His Majesty……"
"Get out!"
Shouting loudly, the next moment, the clown watched in horror as His Majesty the Emperor in front of him closed his eyes and fell down limply.
"His Majesty!"
