Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 334 The Invitation of the Autumn Hunt
After Xiao Zhuo finished the last stroke, he picked up the pen and gently placed it on the pen holder next to the drawing paper, turned around and looked at Shen Yuexi who was standing far away at the door.

"Yuexi, come here, you don't have to stand so far away."

Shen Yuexi said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this afraid of disturbing you?"

She walked to Xiao Zhuo's side, held Xiao Zhuo's arm, and set her eyes on the drawing paper.

Xiao Zhuo has been with Empress Pei for 16 years since he was a child, and he must have a deep memory of his mother's appearance.And she had seen Empress Wen's real face, so she guessed that Empress Wen was Pei Jingyun, as long as the two had the same appearance, it would prove her guess.

But the result was somewhat disappointing.The mother in Xiao Zhuo's memory is indeed very similar to the Empress Wen she saw, but if the two stand together, everyone can see the difference between them, and it is not at all to the level of confusing the real.Moreover, the women painted by Xiao Zhuo are obviously much gentler than the Empress Wen in her impression, and there is always something between the eyebrows of Empress Wen that makes her uneasy.

"It is indeed very similar, but there is still a big difference." She frowned, "If there is such a big difference, how could Duke Pei send his daughter to the palace as his biological father, how could he not recognize him?"

Xiao Zhuo smiled and raised his hand to rub against her head: "It's been 20 years, and the two are not the same father and mother, so there will be some differences in appearance. Just pass the test when entering the palace that year. "

Shen Yuexi looked up at Xiao Zhuo's graceful profile: "Husband, the queen..."

Xiao Zhuo put his hands on her shoulders: "Everything is still speculation now, the real situation can only be found out in Daliang Village."

"My lord, the Queen of Xiliang has arrived with her army." Feng Zhang's excited voice sounded outside the door, and then he ran in, "The Queen has entered Shengjing and is coming to Prince An's Mansion."

Shen Yuexi turned her head and said: "I asked you to lead the army to pick up Yang Cong and the others, did you accept it?"

She and Ji Yunyan, Qiang Lin Ma Kuai, Sheng Jing who arrived first, Yang Cong's carriage is still on the way.Because of Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, she asked Feng Zhang to quickly pick up Yang Cong as soon as she returned to Shengjing.

"Mistress, don't worry, Sister Cong and the others are escorted by soldiers, and they will enter the city in half an hour."

Only then did Shen Yuexi feel relieved, and went out together with Xiao Zhuo to welcome Queen Mei Dai of Xiliang and sister Shen Lan into the palace.

After everyone was seated, Mei Dai said to Shen Yuexi: "You really scared us. I knew you were happy, so I asked Yunyan to come and see you. But within a few days, I heard that you were poisoned and died. Your sister was flustered and couldn't calm down. As a strategy, we have to stick to Nanping. King An sent someone to tell us that this is false news."

Shen Yuexi remembered that when she entered the city, there were still white spirit-calling banners everywhere in the city, and paper money all over the ground. After a passer-by recognized her, the white banners were all withdrawn in the blink of an eye, and a group of children chased her and shouted "" Concubine An is a big liar" and chased straight to the gate of Prince An's mansion, causing her to dare not even leave the door for a whole day.

Unexpectedly, there was news of a suspended animation, the commotion was so loud that it affected Xiliang.

She looked at Mei Dai and Shen Lan apologetically: "The empress has attacked us, and we too... adapt to the situation. I was busy saving people, so I forgot to tell the two sisters."

Shen Lan said: "Since the opponent is attacking us, they won't give up halfway. The queen led [-] Xiliang cavalry to help my brother-in-law this time, hoping to do my best."

Shen Yuexi looked at Mei Dai worriedly: "Sister led the troops here, what about the four counties of Xiliang? Will Xirong take the opportunity to attack?"

Mei Dai said: "King Doma is not a fool, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack."

Shen Yuexi exclaimed: "Then Nanping is dangerous?"

"Sister, don't worry, the queen has already made arrangements," Shen Lan reassured, "We have considered it. Compared with King Doma's Xirong army, brother-in-law's here is much more dangerous. If Xiao Beiheng wants to attack, the army under his command will be far away." Overtake our side. Shengjing is the gateway to Xiliang, if Shengjing falls, the four counties of Xiliang will not be able to keep it, we must first resolve the crisis here."

Mei Dai added: "And I once said that as long as King An needs it, the Mei family will definitely help. Although Xiliang is also invaded by enemy troops, I came here to fulfill the original oath."

Although Shen Yuexi doesn't understand military affairs, she also vaguely feels that a war is approaching.Mei Dai and Shen Lan have already made arrangements, and Qianglin's Xirong army has already set up camp in the north of Shengjing. Right now, the three-way coalition army has 8 to [-] horses.

She felt relieved, and told Mei Dai what happened to her in Anzhou and the relationship with Queen Wen.

Mei Dai is the only person on their side who has experienced the great event of abolishing the reserve. When Emperor Yongde deposed Xiao Zhuo and killed Empress Pei, Mei Dai was in the palace, and she had more information than Xiao Zhuo knew.

"Emperor Yongde didn't directly kill Empress Pei," Mei Dai told everyone, "Emperor Yongde put Empress Pei in limbo."

Xiao Zhuo's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking: "It turns out that the queen mother was not given to die immediately?"

"The news I got at the time was that Empress Pei committed suicide in the cold palace. Emperor Yongde rushed over in panic when he found out, which was obviously beyond his expectation."

Shen Yuexi got up and said: "It seems that we still have to go to Daliang Village."

As long as you go to Daliang Village, you will definitely discover some secrets.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Yuexi, you don't need to interfere in this matter, I will let Feng Zhang go, he is a local."

Shen Yuexi shook her head like a rattle: "No, I'm going. I don't feel at ease if Feng Zhang goes for such a big matter."

That stupid Feng Zhang is not as smart as her.Besides, she was also very curious about the secrets of Daliang Village.

Xiao Zhuo saw Shen Yuexi's strength and said: "If you want to go, I will go with you."

"King An, you can't go," Mei Dai stood up to stop, "Right now you need to sit in Shengjing and coordinate the whole army."

Shen Lan also persuaded Xiao Zhuo: "Brother-in-law, Xiao Beiheng and the Queen are ready to move now. Fortunately, His Majesty is suppressing them. But one of them is His Majesty's wife and the other is his son. His Majesty will inevitably be persuaded by them. At that time, we will have to fight with the whole family." Yan confronts. If you are not in Shengjing, we will be in disarray."

Shen Yuexi spread her hands and said, "Then let me go by myself?"

She wanted to go very much, but she didn't say she would go.In case something happens along the way, she still has a baby in her belly.Better to have someone with her.

Mei Dai said: "Yunyan and I will accompany my sister, and the military advisor will stay to assist King An. In this way, if Xiao Beiheng launches an attack, King An and the military advisor can command the army to fight. On our side, Yunyan and I will accompany my younger sister. King An will also rest assured."

Shen Yuexi clapped her hands happily and said: "I think sister Mei's idea is good, what does your husband think?"

Mei Dai knows everything, she doesn't even need to use her brain.And Ji Yunyan is superb in swordsmanship and is an excellent guard.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Alright, it's just that Yuexi, you have to pay attention to your body."

Shen Yuexi jumped up and said: "It's not too late, we will leave after eating."

At noon, Prince An's Mansion held a banquet in honor of Mei Dai and her party.Doctor Hua and his son were escorted by Yang Cong and Xia Lan, and they also returned to Shengjing.Shen Yuexi went to visit Hua Duoduo after dinner, and then she, Mei Dai, and Ji Yunyan carried dry food and water bags and rode to Daliang Village, Liangzhou.

Xiao Zhuo stood at the top of the city, with his hands behind his back, watching the figures of Shen Yuexi and the other three gradually shrink.

Standing beside him were Yang Cong and Feng Zhang. Feng Zhang was still a little unhappy, and muttered, "I'm a native of Daliang Village, why don't you let me go?"

Yang Cong pouted and said, "It's not like going there to play, your clumsy hands will only get in the way."

Feng Zhang stuck out his tongue, not daring to argue, turned to Xiao Zhuo and said, "Master, do we really want to start a war with Xiao Beiheng?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head: "I don't want to be hostile to my brother, but the situation is beyond my control. If there is room for change, I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully."

Yang Cong said unconvinced: "My lord, everyone has poisoned the mistress, and it's clear that they want to kill us."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Yuexi talked with his younger siblings, it was just the queen's personal actions, younger brother didn't know about it at the time."

While discussing, Shen Lan walked up to the top of the wall and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Brother-in-law, an envoy from the capital has arrived here, saying that His Majesty is going to have an autumn hunt in the Anzhou hunting ground in five days, so you and King Heping are also allowed to participate. Both parties are not allowed to bring any Army horse."

Hearing this news, both Feng Zhang and Yang Cong jumped up and shouted in unison: "This is a trap, this is going to lure the lord to the capital and kill him!"

Xiao Zhuo raised his hand to stop the two of them from shouting, and said to Shen Lan: "What do you think, sister?"

Shen Lan said: "At the beginning, His Majesty was ambushed in Xia Yuangu and almost died, but after knowing the truth, he still chose to withdraw from the army. It can be seen that His Majesty has no malice towards brother-in-law. And from the process of becoming king, His Majesty wants to treat you both The water is level."

Xiao Zhuo sighed: "That's right, Father asked the two of us to go because he wanted to personally resolve this crisis."

"What about the brother-in-law's decision?"

"Of course I'm going," Xiao Zhuo said indifferently, "Let someone prepare the horse, and I'll go to Anzhou to meet my father and younger brother."

Feng Zhangdao: "My lord, this is too dangerous. What if someone prepares an army? Can General Qiu lead five thousand cavalry to escort him?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said: "If I bring the army, my brother will definitely know about it. On the contrary, it will mess up the matter. I will not bring any soldiers. All the troops must stay where they are and are not allowed to leave the camp."

Shen Lan stopped Feng Zhang with her eyes, and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Let's give my brother-in-law a ride."

After everyone sent Xiao Zhuo away, Feng Zhang said to Shen Lan: "Why did the military master stop me at that time?"

Shen Lan said: "King An is a man who values ​​friendship. At the beginning of his duel with Xiao Kai, he didn't kill Xiao Kai and was hit by the sword. Later, he was chased by his teacher Ji Zhong, but he didn't kill him. This set works for kind people, but for Xiao Beiheng This kind of treacherous person is not easy to use. I guess Xiao Beiheng will definitely arrange an army, we must not just sit and wait for death."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lan ordered General Qiu Liming to be summoned, and said to Qiu Liming, "The general selected five hundred crossbowmen from the iron-faced army, disguised themselves as merchants selling horses, and infiltrated into Anzhou in five routes, and went to the Anzhou hunting grounds." Ambush nearby."

Horse dealers with hundreds of people will not attract attention.Once Xiao Beiheng gathers his troops to attack Xiao Zhuo, these five hundred crossbowmen can withstand the onslaught of thousands of people to keep Xiao Zhuo.

Qiu Liming said: "Military Master, is this inappropriate? Before the Lord left, he specifically said that the army is not allowed to be mobilized."

Shen Lan said: "The lord also said that I will take command when he is not around. Everything we do is to protect King An, do as I say, and I will bear the consequences."

Qiu Liming was also worried that Xiao Zhuo would fall into an ambush if he went, so he nodded in agreement.Ordered five hundred elites to dress up as horse dealers and set off at night to Anzhou.
