On the surface, everyone in Lidu Mansion is performing their duties and living in peace. The death of a traitor prefect will not affect the normal operation of the city. Anyway, no matter who sits in this position, he is just a puppet.
Song Muchuan took office in the Shipbuilding Department for half a month. Finally, under the high pressure of Wanyan Jun, he drew the drawings of the keel ship, and the next step was the massive construction. One main ship and ten auxiliary ships need to be completed within three months.
Wanyan Jun was not too wary of this weak scholar, and did not even pay attention to his energy. On the day when Bianjing was conquered, many such scholars perished, and the streets of heaven trampled all the ministers. bone.
Husha and Wanyanjun have very different personalities, but they have one thing in common: they are both extremely arrogant.
This kind of arrogance comes from the overwhelming force when attacking the capital. Their cavalry easily trampled the king's capital under their feet, ground them into dirt, and turned the high-ranking royal family and nobles into prisoners. Anyone with this mentality would be proud. stand up.
This laxity gave Song Muchuan a gap to grow rapidly. He now has eyes and ears in all directions and has a clear idea of the situation in Lidu Mansion. He did a great job in sending Xie Zhu out of the city.
But a few days after the Yuan Dynasty, he began to feel uneasy - Xie Zhu traveled all the way down the river, and occasionally received news about him, but the news from Nan Yi was cut off.
Xie Queshan's disappearance was also unexpected.
And the death of Chang Yan... He originally planned to sail out of Lidu Mansion and then get rid of Chang Yan, otherwise he would alert the enemy. But Chang Yan died before Bingzhusi took action. He didn't know who killed her.
He even had lingering fears. Using fake Chang Yan as a tactic, he was taking risks and didn't even have any backup plan. Apparently something happened to Chang Yan that night, but so far he is still confused about it.
He had to admit that seizing the moment was important. But every action is a real sword and a real gun. Not everyone's actions can be completely under his control. In the future, every plan he makes must be invincible.
After the Lantern Festival, Song Muchuan was carefully observing the situation.
In the Qi people's place, Hu Sha was temporarily deprived of military power, and Wanyan Jun was also in charge of the affairs in the military camp, so nothing unusual could be seen for the time being.
But the strangest thing is that there is no difference. Wanyan Jun took control of the military at this time, and he definitely wanted to do something.
The situation was confusing for a while.
——First of all, just now, Wanyan Jun brought Ling Fu Diji to the Shipping Department.
All the drawings, account books, the division of labor among the craftsmen, the materials required for the casting of each component, the casting period... Wanyan Jun may not understand, but he must know everything in detail, so he spends half of his time every day in the shipbuilding department. middle.
But today is different, Xu Keyue is also following behind him. Even entering the noisy workshop, Wanyan Jun took her with him.
After all, she is the empress of a country, and everyone must bow to her when they see her. And she followed Wanyan Jun with a low eyebrow and a faint look, which seemed to be putting pressure on everyone in the Shipbuilding Department.
There was a lot of chaos in the workshop. Xu Keyue accidentally fell and Song Muchuan hurriedly reached out to help her. As soon as Wanyan Jun saw it, his face darkened and he pulled Xu Keyue into his arms.
He was very domineering, and his movements were too big, and he actually pulled Xu Keyue's robe to a side, revealing a section of his snow-white shoulders.
Song Muchuan and Xu Keyue quickly exchanged glances at this moment. Song Muchuan paused and showed anger almost without a pause.
"Master Wanyan, is this interesting? I have tried my best to build a warship for you, but you still want to humiliate me like this again and again!"
Wanyan Jun was stunned and quickly helped Xu Keyue gather her clothes. This time he really didn't mean it. What a big deal this kind of rotten scholar is...
But his face was still friendly. Song Muchuan was now his guest. Wanyan Jun smiled and smoothed things over: "Hey, Mr. Song misunderstood. I am worried about the Emperor Ji."
Song Muchuan spoke righteously and made it clear in front of Wanyan Jun: "Master Wanyan, you have brought the Emperor out several times, but you have not given her the respect she deserves. Don't you just want to give everyone an insult? Are we Han Chinese?"
Xu Keyue said cowardly: "Mr. Song, it's okay...you don't need to speak for me..."
Saying this only added fuel to the fire. Song Muchuan became even more angry. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Since Mr. Wanyan can't trust Song so much, you can find someone you think is loyal. I'm sorry that Song can't accompany you today. Take leave and go home.”
After saying that, Song Muchuan turned around and left.
Wanyan Jun felt a little unreasonable, but he was still a little angry after being humiliated in public. The Qi soldiers on guard were all waiting for him to speak. As long as he gave the order, they would stop Song Muchuan.
Just as he was about to speak, he lowered his head and glanced at the construction drawings in his hand. The drawings were very delicate and thoughtful. He suddenly lost his temper again and thought to himself, forget it. Seeing that he did a good job, it would be okay to let him lose his temper.
"Literati just like to make a fuss about trivial matters..." Wanyan Jun raised his chin towards the two Qi soldiers, "You go and protect Mr. Song, he is so weak, don't let anything go wrong on the road."
Song Muchuan turned his back to everyone and walked towards the door of the Shipbuilding Department. He quietly opened his palms and found a small piece of paper inside. Just now, Xu Keyue pretended to fall and stuffed a small piece of paper into his hand. .
What would allow Xu Keyue to risk doing this must be important information. No matter what was written on the note, he could no longer stay in the Shipping Department and wait for death, so he made a fuss and got angry and left in front of Wanyan Jun.
But there were footsteps behind him, and Qi Bing followed him closely. Song Muchuan knew that Wanyan Jun was very wary. Although he didn't take him seriously, basic surveillance was indispensable.
He quickly unfolded the paper and glanced at it, only to see that it read: "Yucheng's army is exposed and Mrs. Gantang is in danger."
He had to return to Bingzhusi as soon as possible and send out hidden stakes to check the movements of the Qi army. Song Muchuan's pace unconsciously accelerated - suddenly, someone patted his shoulder from behind.
He was tense all over and felt guilty, and he was startled. But he quickly concealed his strangeness and looked back as if nothing had happened.
It was a strange middle-aged man, dressed as an ordinary boatman, holding a large cloak in his hand.
"Sir Song, your robe was left in the shipyard."
The man handed over the robe, and Song Muchuan thanked him and took it calmly. His eyes glanced at Qi Bing who was following behind. They were just waiting and did not raise any suspicion about this trivial matter.
Song Muchuan frowned, but this was clearly not his robe.
But the other party probably didn't admit the wrong person. He was the only one named Song in the Shipping Department. The boatman handed him over and left, acting like a normal person.
Song Muchuan was also acting normal. He put his clothes loosely on his hands and went to buy two buns from a bun shop standing on the roadside. The shop owners were a couple, and Song Muchuan's eyes seemed to meet with them unintentionally, but when they looked at each other, there was hint of agility.
This was a hidden stake placed by Bingzhusi near the Shipping Department to facilitate communication with Song Muchuan at any time. Song Muchuan winked in the direction of the boatman's retreat, and they knew that he was asking them to check on the boatman.
There was no way to tell more news in front of Qi Bing, so Song Muchuan could only quickly return home and enter Bingzhusi through the secret passage.
Thousands of threads need to be sorted out slowly.
The hidden stakes sent out had a clear direction of investigation, and many clues became traceable. Not long after, news came back that a group of Qi soldiers had secretly crossed the river and entered Tiger Kneeling Mountain an hour ago.
The action to annihilate the Yucheng army is today.
Song Muchuan was frightened. At this moment, Wanyan Jun should be calm and calm at the Shipbuilding Department inspecting shipbuilding matters.
Wanyan Jun is far more scheming than Husha. For such a big operation, no movement was revealed, and the strategy was planned to win the battle thousands of miles away.
Even though he wanted to save Yu Chengjun, he was a step too late.
——
Tiger kneeling in the mountain, where Yucheng's army camped.
A staggering figure broke into the camp and was immediately surrounded by spears.
If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought she was a refugee beggar from somewhere. When she raised her head, everyone realized that she was a beautiful girl.
She was wrapped in dusty tattered clothes, but her expression was calm and calm. Even when facing a group of men, she showed no fear.
Before they could ask, she introduced herself: "I am Xie's wife."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and it took them a while to understand, isn't Xie's wife-in-law Mrs. Gantang's sister-in-law?
Just this little beggar?
Some people were already laughing.
"Your location has been known to Qi Ren. If you stay here, you will die."
Nan Yi spoke righteously, but she was so helpless and weak that it was hard for people to believe her words.
The captain of the camp, Ying Huai, was also alerted and walked out of the camp. This is an out-and-out soldier, with seriousness and dignity in his eyes.
He looked Nan Yi up and down and saw that although her robe was in tatters, it was made of expensive forging materials. He thought that she was indeed a woman from a wealthy family in the city and somehow ended up in this situation.
"How do you know?" Ying Huai asked warily.
Guess.
But Nan Yi can’t say that, right?
What Xie Queshan did had completely subverted her understanding of him. He is a total bad guy! She was careless. She told him the location of Yucheng Army, which was equivalent to putting Yucheng Army in danger.
This was her mistake, so she ran here immediately to tell them to evacuate. She wanted to use her little power to help some people, at least not to kill some people because of her. But she also knew that it would be difficult for her to convince this army alone.
Nan Yi untied her robe in front of everyone, pulled open an inch of the skirt, and rolled up her sleeves. Everyone stared at her actions in stunned silence.
What is she doing?
