Chapter 168
When Xu Yan learned that Shen Qingling had returned, she was so frightened that she took off the makeup and hair she had just put on, put on her clothes and hid on the bed, no matter how much Ren Chen Zeng tried to persuade her, she refused to get off the ground.

After all, Shen Zeng was once a Prime Minister, and he was not fooled by the strange power and chaos that his wife said.

But he couldn't resist his wife's request, so he didn't question Shen Qingling, and gave Shen Qingling some time to rest by mistake.

Of course, another reason why Shen Zeng didn't go was that Shen Qingling's daughter gave him too strange a feeling, whether it was the letter or the deep meaning behind the letter.

Shen Qingling felt more at ease when the Shen family was safe.

Seeing that Shen Qingling's heart was very firm when he returned to Yangzhou, Li Yu didn't intend to find any more excuses to keep him, but casually reminded Shen Qingling that he could help him, and sent Shen Qingling two swift guards.

However, the guard was sent back the next day.

Moreover, Shen Qingling ran extremely fast, and started on the road before dawn, neither giving Li Yu a chance to put pressure, nor giving Xue Yu time to say goodbye.

Knowing that Xue Yu also failed to see Shen Qingling for the last time, Li Yu who was sitting in the mansion laughed for no reason, the depression in his heart eased a lot, and he didn't blame the two guards who looked at him with mournful eyebrows.

Shen Qingling, who left Beijing, did not know about Shouwang's mansion.

she fell asleep.

And sleep soundly.

Months of hard work and running around disappeared from the moment Shen Qingling left Bianjing, and what surrounds her at this moment is green water and green mountains, fragrance of flowers and singing of birds.

The servant girl I bought was also very sensible, and she was able to fry tea and grind ink with ease, without making any noise.

When Shen Qingling opened her eyes, the servant girl knelt on the side of the couch, held warm tea in her hand, and said softly: "Lady, I have already left the capital, the coachman said that the road will not be easy for a while, maybe I have to Take the water route."

waterway?

Hearing this, Shen Qingling raised her eyebrows.

That might meet some old friends.

As soon as the waterway left, Shen Qingling saw a familiar figure accompanied by the boatman's yelling.

"I heard from the people under my command that there was a lady from the Shen family on board. I brought it over and saw that it was you." Mo Rulan stood on the deck herself, smiling and beckoning to Shen Qingling, "I haven't seen you for a long time, write me a letter." , but busy?"

Speaking, Mo Rulan looked around Shen Qingling.

"It looks much stronger, not as weak as last year. It seems that you are doing well."

Shen Qingling signaled the maid and the coachman to put their luggage, while she smiled at Mo Rulan and said with a wink, "I know Brother Mo misses me, so why don't you come to see Mo Da? I hope Mo Da doesn't dislike me, I I have to bother you all the way again."

Outside, Mo Rulan still presents herself as a man.

Hearing Shen Qingling's familiar emphasis, Mo Rulan strode over to embrace her, and said indignantly: "What are you talking about, I wish you could stay longer."

After all, she was a lifesaver, Mo Rulan saw that Shen Qingling was showing some intimacy, so after receiving the person, she directly invited her to her room, chatted for a while, and then got to the point.

"You mean, the group of people who wanted to kill you colluded with pirates?" Shen Qingling muttered thoughtfully.

Also.

If the pirates want to enter the mainland, they must go through the waterway, and if they can kill Mo Rulan and seize the power in her hands, of course it will be beneficial but not harmful.

"It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise I would have fallen into their hands." Mo Rulan sneered, "It's just a pity that my cargo was used as bait."

Sensing the coldness in Mo Rulan's voice, Shen Qingling looked around, suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Where's the boy next to you?"

"Dead." Mo Rulan said succinctly.

As for how he died, Shen Qingling naturally understood after connecting with the previous sentence.

"Condolences."

With that said, Shen Qingling took out a scroll from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Mo Rulan.

Mo Rulan looked down at the yellow paper, took it, and asked, "What?"

A moment later, what was presented to Mo Rulan was a sophisticated and detailed coastal defense map.

"The coastal defense map of the East China Sea." Shen Qingling took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I ask my sister to kill the bandits, is my sister willing? This is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself."

what……

mean?
Looking at the somewhat hot coastal defense map in her hand, Mo Rulan stuttered a little, "Lady, this is not a joke. What you gave me is not the defense of pirates, but the defense of the imperial court!"

This is-

Decapitated and ransacked things!

Shen Qingling nodded, and asked back: "Could it be that my sister doesn't believe me? I promise my sister a bright future, isn't my sister happy?"

Being able to exterminate pirates is of course a bright future, but Mo Rulan looked through the coastal defense map repeatedly, and still didn't understand what Shen Qingling meant.

"There are ghosts in the court." Shen Qingling pointed on the table with her fingers and tapped it a few times, "This picture is not fake, and the soldiers' defenses on it are also real, but it is also a reminder for pirates .”

Mo Rulan's eyes widened in disbelief.

But after thinking about it, how could it be impossible?The little lady in front of her with a smile like three springs is the one who killed the Khitan people on Mo Rulan's boat and saved her life.

"My lady means..." Mo Rulan swallowed her saliva, and couldn't help clenching the hand holding the coastal defense map.

Shen Qingling glanced over, and saw the joyful ambition in Mo Rulan's eyes without any surprise.

How easy is it for a woman to gain a foothold in the world?

Even if one step is wrong, it may be a catastrophe.

Because of this, Shen Qingling decided to give Mo Rulan a ride.

"I'll tell my sister the truth." Shen Qingling moved closer, and said in a low voice: "The war in the northern border damaged a lot of troops in the imperial court, and two armies of 6 people were overthrown in the Yongguan Pass. Now the imperial court can This number of soldiers is used."

Two fingers crossed.

One hundred thousand.

However, some of these 10 people have to be divided into Bianjing to guard, and people have to be distributed to the northern border, and people have to be transferred to leave Yongguan. In the end, only a few thousand people will be left.

Thousands of people want to fight pirates, which is no less than a fool's dream.

After all, the opponent is very good at naval battles, coming and going without a trace, ordinary soldiers may not even be able to protect themselves, let alone kill the enemy.

Before coming, Shen Qingling was ready to meet Mo Rulan again, that's why she asked Xue Yu to come to this coastal defense map,
Xue Yu didn't ask what Shen Qingling was going to do.

Firstly, Xue Yu believed that Shen Qingling would not have any bad intentions, and secondly, the two had already discussed several times about those moths in the court before, knowing that the map of coastal defense would definitely be leaked.

"Sister." Shen Qingling slapped Mo Rulan's shoulder with one hand, "I know it's not easy for you to prop up this canal, but no matter how good your business is, it's just a small fight of ordinary people."

Gotta go up.

Standing on the top of the peak that no one dares to beak easily.

Compete with those men.

Mo Rulan thought so.
