Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 1440: Poison for Poison (1)
Qi Yunxue couldn't figure out Qin Zheng's plan, so she ordered people to keep watching the situation in Yuren Pass.

Inside Fisherman's Pass, Qin Yu had already received the news that Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua were coming, and went out of the General's Mansion to greet them in person, regardless of his status as the emperor's ninth-five-ranking lord.

After Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua got off the carriage, Qin Yu could tell something was wrong at the first glance. He was very familiar with Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua, and no matter how clever the disguise technique was, he couldn't hide it from him.Not only did they change their appearances, but Shi Hua and Shi Mo who were waiting beside them also changed their appearances, but the little Chengzi with a bitter melon-like face did not change his appearance.

He knew that there must be something strange here, so he suppressed his emotions and invited the two into the mansion.

After entering the General's Mansion, he closed the door of the mansion, closed the door of the room, changed his appearance into Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua, the servants of painting and ink, and Xiao Chengzi, who hadn't changed into a fake, immediately greeted Qin Yu.

"What's going on?" Qin Yu asked in a deep voice.

One of them said, "Go back to the emperor, the little prince and the little princess have other arrangements."

Another person took out a letter from his pocket, "This is a letter from the little prince, and I ordered my subordinates to submit it to the emperor. After the emperor reads it, he will know."

Qin Yu took the secret letter, opened it, read it, and frowned, "His courage is really great."

No one answered.

Qin Yu was a little annoyed, "It's fine for him to go alone. How difficult is the road to the deep mountain? How did you bring Fanghua with you?"

Still no answer.

Qin Yu glanced left and right, and saw that except for the four people who changed their faces, Xiao Chengzi had a sad face and his head was downcast, and Xiao Quanzi didn't seem to know how to answer his words.He immediately asked, "Little Orange? Why didn't you follow?"

Xiao Chengzi immediately said, "Back to the emperor, the subordinates hurried on their way, and they also arrived a hundred miles away from Xuecheng, but they still missed it, just a little bit, the little prince and the little princess left the team secretly, secretly Let's go. Although the slaves have seen through the disguise technique, they don't know their whereabouts and dare not speak up, so they can only come back with the team to meet the emperor."

Qin Yu glanced at the things he was wearing around his waist, and his face sank.

Seeing the emperor's eyes, Xiao Chengzi immediately said, "This is something, the slave has been wearing it all the time."

"Look back and throw it away. It's something to ward off evil spirits, it's something to be discouraged." Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

Xiao Chengzi was startled, but thinking about it, if there were not several incidents on the road, he must have joined the little prince and princess before they left, but now he was thrown away by them.

He immediately untied the thing, "I think it's the same, so go throw it away now."

Qin Zheng didn't speak, Xiao Chengzi walked out.

Not long after, someone outside reported, "Your Majesty, thank you Lord for coming."

"Please come in." Qin Yu said.

Koizumi greeted him immediately, Xie Mohan entered the room, he glanced at everyone's faces, frowned, and greeted Qin Yu.

Qin Yu waved his hand, "How many times have I told you that you don't need to be polite when you are outside."

"Although everything is simple outside, the emperor is the emperor after all, and the etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be discarded." Xie Mohan said.

Qin Yu felt a little bored, "It would be great if those two people behaved like you."

"Qin Zheng and his sister didn't seem to be here, where did they go?" Xie Mohan asked.

Qin Yu handed him the letter, "You read it yourself."

Xie Mohan took the letter, and after reading it, he sighed, "I didn't expect Qi Yunxue to be the person behind Nan Qin's upheaval. In this way, it is certain that Xuecheng will send troops to help Bei Qi now." He paused After a pause, he said again, "Brother Qin Zheng and Fanghua went deep into the interior of Northern Qi. Although it was a dangerous move, it was also a strange move."

Qin Yu snorted heavily, "If they are all dead, what's the point of us taking this country?"

Xie Mohan was silent for a while.After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, you can't think like this. After Xiao Chengzi left, my heart has been uneasy. Now that Xiao Chengzi hasn't even seen their faces, my heart is at ease when they come back. They have their choice , we have our mission. Let them go."

"I can't even see each other, so what can I do if I don't let them go?" Qin Yu rubbed his brows helplessly, "Time is also fate."

"They came from Xuecheng, avoiding Qi Yunxue's eyeliner and Beiqi's sight, and walked deep into the mountain stream. It will take half a month at the earliest to reach Luoxia Mountain, right?" Xie Mohan said.

Qin Yu nodded, "Not bad."

"I heard that there was news from Northern Qi that after Yan Chen solved the crisis in Xuecheng, he sent a letter of alliance. Qi Yunxue didn't sign it, but asked Yan Chen for a marriage letter. Yan Chen hasn't replied to Xuecheng yet. Maybe there will be something in it There have been changes." Xie Mohan said, "Without a marriage certificate, Qi Yunxue may not necessarily help Bei Qi."

Qin Yu shook his head, "For the sake of Northern Qi's strengths and weaknesses, Yan Chen won Qin Zheng with the art of medicine and poison. How could he fail to produce a mere marriage certificate? What's more, he and Qi Yunxue had a marriage contract since childhood. It has a close relationship with the Yu family."

Xie Mohan nodded, "That's true. But I hope they won't join forces so soon, otherwise, it would be really bad if we were flanked by front and back at Fisherman's Pass before Qin Zheng and Fanghua arrived at Luoxia Mountain. "

"I heard that the king of Northern Qi has already left Beijing, and he will arrive at Yuxiapo to join Qi Yanqing in a few days. With the temperament of the king of Northern Qi, he should send troops immediately." Qin Yu said, "We have to think of a strategy and delay it for the time being." If you live in Beiqi and Xuecheng, you can't send troops. Buy them time."

"Since the first battle between the Southern Qin Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, since the beginning of the war, two batches of grain and grass have been transported from the capital to Mobei." Xie Mohan said, "I have never stockpiled food and grass for the Southern Qin army. Chu, Northern Qi is obviously very clear, therefore, even if Qi Yanqing was defeated, he hurriedly withdrew from Yurenguan, and set fire to the grain depot, which was never left to us. According to my calculation, even if Xie Shi did his best , and can only support another batch. And a batch of food and grass can last for three months at most." Xie Mohan said, "What we are most afraid of fighting is a war of delay. Once it is delayed, the lack of food, grass and military supplies will be a big disaster."

Qin Yu pursed his lips, "But even if we are afraid of procrastination, the delay of half a month is still very important now. The King of Northern Qi went out of Beijing and went to the battlefield in person, and Xuecheng sent troops to attack front and back. If we don't delay, I'm afraid it won't be worth it." Even if the siege from both sides can be resisted, it will be a dead end."

Xie Mohan nodded, "So, in addition to finding a way to delay, we have to find a way to prepare food, grass and military pay." After a pause, he said, "I received a letter from Lin Xi yesterday. These days, the letter talked about In order to prepare the third batch of food and military pay, he and Xie Yi exhausted all kinds of methods. Except for the Xie family, even the food and grass from King Yuqian in Lingnan have been taken out, and the rest of the Southern Qin Dynasty has already maximized It was scoured by Cheng Ming and Song Fang. If we want to prepare the fourth batch of grain and grass, Nanqin will not be able to produce it anymore, so we can only start from Beiqi."
