Chapter 199
Yin Ming hurried back to Shilipo, and his subordinates reported that General Long had practiced rigorously in the past few days, and he had many demands, and he was full of authority. Many soldiers were called to inquire about the tactics of war, the essentials of garrison, the tactics of Dongling’s generals, and so on.
“To intimidate people, to draw distance, and to spy on information. His thousand soldiers were also stationed in each battalion, but the tents were all side by side. I looked carefully, and it seemed that they were integrated into each battalion, but they were not divided. Scattered, very good response.”
Yin Ming nodded: “Let him make trouble, it will be over soon. No matter how hard he is, he only has a thousand soldiers.”
“He issued a transfer order while you were away. On the pretext that he knew the strength and strengths of each battalion carefully, he wanted to readjust the troops in view of the situation in Dongling and the crisis in Nanqin. Transfer 10,000 people to Shilingya, and from Shilingya Draw his soldiers and horses over here.”
“It’s okay.” Yin Ming was not surprised that this matter had been expected. “Transferring a large number of troops is not a matter of three or two days. Far water cannot save near fire, so there is nothing to be afraid of. You tell the brothers, follow the instructions of General Long, and do what he asks you to do. Then wait for my order. I will go back to my lord first, and listen to what he means.”
On Long Da’s side, his spies also followed Yin Ming’s **** back.
“General, General Yin didn’t stop all the way, he went straight back to the city. After returning to the city, he went to three places – the government office, the military office and the Meishan Restaurant. None of these three places found a trace of Mr. Liang. The younger one went to see him. Madame, I told her the news about Emperor Nanqin, and she said that she is ready and will attack Cui Taishou first. There is no suspicious person approaching Madam, and the servants and maids have not been replaced. There is no new movement in the other side of the Yafu. ”
“En.” Long Da nodded solemnly, thought for a while and asked, “How does she look?”
“Ma’am?”
Long Da raised his eyebrows, who else could there be?
The spy quickly replied, “Madam looks fine.”
“How good is it?”
“Uh…” The spy scratched his head, what does it mean?
“How does she look?”
“Ah, very energetic.” The spy understood, “I also asked Chun Xiao, and Chun Xiao said that no one has caused trouble, Madam eats and drinks well every day, and sleeps well, general, don’t worry.”
Long Da nodded, and asked again: “Did she ask about me?”
“Chunxiao? Chunxiao asked the general how he was, but there was a war…uh…” The spy came to his senses and quickly changed his words: “Madam asked, how is the general, how is the front line, is there a war, is there any news and news?” Commanded no.”
Long Da frowned, and the spy stood up straight seriously. He thought that General Yin’s movements were the key point.
Long stared at him for a long time and let him go.
There was only Long Da alone in the tent, he looked at the wall of the tent, there was a lonesome shadow on it, he couldn’t help sighing, remembering how An Ruochen sat beside him reading quietly when he was in Shilingya. She even read such a boring and difficult military book. At that time, he reminded himself that when he had the opportunity to go back to the city, he would buy her some idle books and gadgets to save her from being bored. Now she is in the city, but he is not by her side. After a short time away, he misses her so much.
I always feel that danger is around me. I can’t tell you the specifics, but it’s an intuition, just like on the battlefield, when nothing happened, but you suddenly know that there are arrows coming, and you have to roll to the ground to avoid it. This feeling is very strong, he is not sure, so he is especially worried about An Ruochen who is far away.
He actually left her by Liang Dehao’s side and put her in danger. She didn’t show any displeasure. He knew that she would understand and would go all out, but he was afraid that she would feel resentful. How can there be no complaints? A husband should protect his wife, but he failed to do so. Her past experience should be easily associated with her father. Would she think that men all over the world are unlucky and regard their wives and daughters as bargaining chips and benefits?
Not only her father, but also Yao Kun, Qian Shixin, etc., there seems to be no good examples around her, and even his performance doesn’t seem to be a good thing. Long Da sighed again, he really missed her, if he could win this time, he would always take her by his side and never leave her behind.
In the capital, some officials wrote a memorial to report to Prime Minister Luo Peng that he was buying quack killers to assassinate the Taiwei Liang Dehao, and that Luo Peng was forming a party for personal gain, eradicating dissidents, lawlessness, forging weapons and so on.
Emperor Zhengming saw it, and called Luo Pengzheng to let him see it too. Luo Pengzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He would most likely not be able to escape what was said here. Fortunately, he took the first step, otherwise it would have been destroyed in Liang Dehao’s hands.
“Your Majesty, this just shows that what the ministers reported earlier is true. The death of the Southern Qin Emperor is a serious blow to them. Don’t you hurry up and find out the disaster at the bottom of the box, and use me to shift the focus of the court’s attention.” Let them mess around on the front line. After the trouble is over, I have not dealt with this matter cleanly. If I form a party for personal gain and intend to rebel, how many officials will be involved? The court will be in chaos, the Great Depression will be in turmoil, and then Liang Dehao will return from the front line with meritorious service , and help the emperor eliminate the traitors, who would go after how many shady deeds there are in the affairs of Pingnan and Maojun. Big things turn into small things and nothing. His wishful thinking is too good. Really no Put the emperor in your eyes.”
“Okay, I understand what you mean. The matter is still to be investigated and corrected, so don’t rush to fan the flames.”
Luo Peng was busy saying: “Your Majesty is wise. It’s not like I’m fanning the flames. Since Mr. Liang asked Mr. Liu to sue me, it means that he is already prepared. Whether he is in a hurry to jump the wall or is sure of winning, he must take action soon. The capital is far away from Mao County, and I don’t know how long it has been between Lord Liang and Lord Liu. I really don’t know what the front line is like now. The situation is serious. I only hope that His Highness can arrive in time to expose the trick and find out the conspiracy .”
When Cui Hao returned to the house, Zheng Heng was waiting for him.
Cui Hao said: “An Ruochen… actually said that she should be tied to Tianzhi County.”
Zheng Heng was taken aback.
Cui Hao said: “I also find it weird. I persuaded her to say that she agreed to move out. She is still in the city and I can take care of her. But she said that Tianzhi County is good, and it is connected to Pingnan County. She is very familiar with the spies’ sites. Tianzhi County is safer than Tongcheng.”
Zheng Heng was taken aback: “She is very familiar? Did she say that?”
“I asked her if she had been there before, and she said no. But she said she knew everything about Diancuilou, Guisheng Inn, etc. She sent someone to investigate the place in Tianzhi County. I persuaded a few words, She still said it was okay, but she said that she needed to make arrangements in advance, and asked if I had sent someone to monitor and follow her, and dismissed them first, the more I knew, the more trouble I would cause.”
“What does this mean?”
Cui Hao lowered his voice and said, “I think she wants to take away the witness.”
“Who is the witness?”
“She didn’t say her name, she just said that she was an old bastard, but that person knew the situation of Tianzhi County’s spy base very well. I guess that meant, she wanted to send someone to **** that person to Tianzhi County first, but she pretended She was robbed, and then went to Tianzhi County, and she was arranged by someone to rescue her.”
Zheng Heng’s heart sank, the old **** is very clear about the work situation, there is only one person – Qian Pei. But Lu Sheng had already sent a letter to report that Qian Pei had been disposed of, and this old guy would no longer be a hidden danger. An Ruochen cheated?
At this time, someone reported outside, and Cui Hao let him in. It’s a yamen servant, and Zheng Heng also knows it, who was sent to quietly watch An Ruochen outside her residence. The yamen messenger reported: “My lord, it is indeed as you ordered. My little one saw that there were three guards dressed in commoner clothes, pretending to be villagers, and went out.”
Cui Hao hurriedly said: “Can you send someone to follow?”
“Let Shuzi go. I’ll hurry up and report to your lord.”
Cui Hao glanced at Zheng Heng, Zheng Heng said: “Go back first and continue to stare.”
Cui Hao hurriedly told the yamen to go back, and Zheng Heng resigned with the yamen. After a while he came back, Cui Hao said: “How?”
“I asked someone to replace the tree.”
“Oh.” Cui Hao knew it would be like this, and Shuzi was a fool, so a fool would rest assured to let him follow him.
“When did your lord talk to An Ruochen?” Zheng Heng asked.
“Tomorrow at noon. I said that I would put some medicine in her meal, and when she passed out, the girl thought she was taking a nap, so I asked someone to put her in a box and bring her out.”
Zheng Heng said: “Let’s go ahead. Put the medicine at dinner, and send her out of the city tonight.”
Cui Hao said in surprise: “That’s not good, I haven’t arranged the manpower yet.”
“I’ve made arrangements.” Zheng Heng said coldly.
Cui Hao shut his mouth and nodded.
After dinner, the two yamen servants carried a box, saying that it was clothes and books for the general’s concubine, as well as some funny things. The guard asked to open the box to check it, and then called a woman to come out to pick it up. The Yacha said that the box was too heavy, so they helped to carry it in, and after a while the things were sorted out, and they carried away the empty box by the way. The mother-in-law agreed and led them in.
After entering the courtyard, the mother-in-law said in a low voice, “Your Excellency has instructed me. Follow me.”
The two men carried the box and followed the woman into the room, the woman asked them to clear out the contents of the box, she went into the inner room by herself, and came out with a woman in a beautiful dress in her arms. The woman was dizzy, lowered her head and whispered a few words, the mother-in-law coaxed: “Ma’am, it’s okay, you must be dreaming, go back to sleep.”
The two yamen servants hurriedly helped the box, put the handle on it, and put An Ruochen into the box. The bottom of the box was cushioned to prevent An Ruochen from being woken up by the pain in his body. The mother-in-law spread another layer of thin cloth on it, and said that if An Ruochen’s guards interrogated her, she would say that Madam didn’t like the cloth and let them take it back.
The mother-in-law first went to the door to have a look, and when she came back, the guards were sent away, and they were told to leave now.
The two yamen servants didn’t dare to delay, they carried the box and left quickly. Walking all the way to the back door of the government office, Zheng Heng and Cui Hao were waiting there. Zheng Heng opened the box, glanced at it, and closed it with satisfaction. Instruct the Yacha to carry the box to the carriage at the back door.
At this moment, a man in common clothes came rushing over and said to Zheng Heng, he told the guards following him to be very vigilant, they had been circling around the city, and now they were eating in a restaurant. He asked Zheng Heng what to do.
“Don’t be confused. They just want to make sure that no one is following them, so you just follow them all the time, be careful, and change people to go, so that you don’t get caught. Wait for them to detain people, and you keep an eye on the whereabouts and report back to me. ”
The man took orders and left. Cui Hao’s heart was pounding, this person looked familiar to him, he must also be in the yamen, or walk around in the yamen from time to time.
“My lord.” Zheng Heng saw that he had been staring at the man’s back, and called him out.
Cui Hao hurriedly responded, not daring to ask who that person was. Zheng Heng said: “My lord, go back. Leave this place to me. My lord, remember to keep an eye on An Ruochen’s subordinates. If they make any movement, you must follow them and find some smart people.”
Cui Hao responded awkwardly, turned around and left. Take two steps and look back. Zheng Heng was still looking at him. Cui Hao didn’t dare to look back and left quickly.
Zheng Heng waited until he could no longer see Cui Hao’s back, so he ordered the carriage to be packed and set off on the road. A few people came over, carried some grain, grass and weapons into the carriage, and loaded them casually. Zheng Heng got on his horse, led the carriage and set off.
He was also very vigilant, and turned around before turning towards the city gate. It was already dark at this time, and the gates of the city were closed. But Zheng Heng is not worried, he has the token in his hand.
Take out the token, the city gate will look at it, and order someone to open the door. Zheng Heng waited, but at this moment he heard someone shouting behind him: “Wait.”
The city gatekeeper saw that it was the prefect, and hurriedly shouted to stop.
Zheng Heng frowned and became vigilant.
Cui Hao arrived with a few servants on fast horses. The city gate general and all the yamen sent a salute to him, he waved his hand and told Zheng Heng to wait for something.
Cui Hao pulled Zheng Heng aside, seeing that there was no one around, Zheng Heng scolded him with a stern face: “What are you going to do?”
Cui Hao bit his head and said: “That’s exactly what I want to ask. What are you going to do? You said you wanted to take her to Tianzhi County, why did you go through the east gate? When you go to Tianzhi County, you should go through the west gate. Is it possible? , you want to take her to Shilipo?”
Zheng Hengdao: “It’s good for my lord to do what Master Liang ordered. I have my own reasons for doing things.”
“Why are you lying to me?” Cui Hao didn’t need to pretend to be dissatisfied.
“Your Excellency, do you want to choose this time and this place to compete with me?” Zheng Heng lowered his voice, stepped forward, and said, “Master Liang will tell you the reason.”
“It’s just that I haven’t seen Mr. Liang, so I feel uneasy. You keep saying what Mr. Liang told you, but what about Mr. Liang? It’s fine if you treat each other sincerely, but you actually say one thing with your mouth and do another thing secretly…”
Cui Hao hadn’t finished his long-winded chatter, but someone shouted: “Hey, stop, don’t run!”
Zheng Heng and Cui Hao looked in the direction of the carriage at the same time, only to see the wooden box on the carriage opened, and the back of a girl in a Chinese dress was running fast, and would soon sneak into the night.
Zheng Heng turned pale with fright, he didn’t care to teach Cui Hao a lesson, he rushed up and shouted loudly: “Hurry up, catch her back!”
