Chapter 469 Undercurrents

Shengjing has been peaceful these days, but undercurrents are stirring in the court. Spring has finally come to an end. After the beginning of summer, the drizzle seems endless, and the whole city is shrouded in drizzles.

Worried that the memorials would be soaked by the rain, Jiang Kangan took the initiative to stop the emperor's "delivery" service, and like Xiao Lingyu, he secretly went to Yu's study to deal with it.

The emperor was willing to put the matter of the queen election on hold, and the ministers' minds were on Mobei and Nangong, and they were not as urgent as before.

But except for Hu Yue, the emperor did not let anyone leave the palace.

There were frequent reports of victory from Mobei. According to this situation, Wala would be taken down soon, and some people began to have evil thoughts.

During the court session, Youdu Yushi Shangyu took the lead in proposing that after conquering Wala, He Yanting should continue the Northern Expedition and conquer the entire Mobei in one fell swoop.

Shangyu originally belonged to Anle Hou, who was ostensibly the man of Crown Prince Xiao Lingyu. When this was said, everyone couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.

Does his standing up this time represent the Crown Prince's intention?

Now the two most likely to succeed to the throne are Crown Prince Xiao Lingyu and Sixth Prince Xiao Yanli.

But Xiao Yanli was punished and confined to his house, and it seemed that he had been abandoned by the emperor.

Xiao Lingyu was just the opposite of him. He reviewed memorials in Yu's study every day.

The emperor should favor the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince intended to let He Yanting continue the Northern Expedition, so was there any intention of the emperor in this?

Everyone kept calm on the surface, but in their hearts, they were already thinking a lot.

But the emperor knew that Shang Yu had been Xiao Yanli's man from the beginning, and these words were probably instigated by Xiao Yanli.

He wanted Yan Ting to continue the war and delay time.

The emperor smiled and said, "After we conquer Wala, there is no rush to discuss this matter... Is there any news from Nanlong?" Shang Yu

quietly returned to his seat. After listening to the emperor's words, everyone roughly understood that the emperor obviously did not agree to continue the northern expedition, and this should be the prince's intention.

So everyone secretly became more alert.

"Your Majesty, according to the news, General Jiang and Jiang Yushi have entered Nanlong, but it is unknown what happened in Nanlong. The army has also set off and will arrive in Nanlong soon."

Prime Minister Shang Yi said.

The emperor nodded slightly and continued to discuss other things.

After the court, Shang Yu entered the Sixth Prince's Mansion through the secret passage.

After listening, Xiao Yanli smiled and said, "No promise, I believe that after the Wala is defeated, the emperor will immediately summon him back to the capital."

"Where did he fight?"

Shang Yu said, "Qingxi Pass."

Qingxi Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a steep cliff between the city and the road, and the water flows rapidly under the cliff.

People in the city rely on a wooden bridge to travel.

"The bridge has been destroyed by the Oirat people themselves. He Yanting and his men have been stationed on the opposite side for about three days." Shang Yu paused for a moment and continued, "I think there is nothing that can be done."

Xiao Yanli knew He Yanting and did not think so. Hearing this, he just sneered: "Nothing that can be done? I don't think so."

He did not want to continue discussing the situation in Mobei with Shang Yu, so he changed the subject and said, "What about the Nanzhu? The army should be arriving soon, and with Bai Yan leading the team, the emperor is relieved. "

Shang Yuhe didn't think so. He hesitated and said, "I have been to Nanlong once. During this period of time, it was rainy and cloudy in Nanlong, and the dense forest was filled with heavy miasma. They must be trapped outside."

As Shang Yu said, even if Xiao Mingye had chased at full speed, when he reached the border, the miasma had almost enveloped the dense forest.

This place is simply a natural umbrella. There is no need to send people to guard it. Even with the miasma, no one dares to enter.

Xiao Mingye sighed lightly and ordered them to stay where they were. At the same time, he whispered to Du Chen, "Keep an eye on him."

This him refers to Bai Yan.

At this place, if Bai Yan wants to go back, they will be helpless as long as they enter the dense forest.

At this time, Xiao Mingye will not allow any mistakes.

Du Chen also knew how powerful he was, and nodded when he heard it.

...

Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu went to Xu Youran's place every day in the name of supervising Xiu Niang to make clothes for Casas.

After Xu Youran divorced her husband, she had been thinking about doing something.

She made up her mind to come to Nanlong because of a Nanlong boy she saw by chance.

After asking around, Xu Youran learned that the clothes of the Nanlong people were all made of rattan. Although the colors were rich, the styles and accessories were extremely monotonous.

Xu Youran then had an idea and came to Nanlong without telling anyone.

It was the Nanlong boy who led her into the dense forest.

Not everyone likes novelty. At first, her clothes were not popular among the Nanlong people. It was not until Casas said that his good-for-nothing younger brother designated the girl wearing her clothes as his concubine that people began to accept it.

But later, the girl suddenly attacked her, and the young man who brought her to Nanlong was also killed.

Xu Youran still feels ashamed when she thinks about it now.

While they were talking for a long time, Yougu, who was pierced through the abdomen by Jiang Wenjing, finally woke up slowly.

The young man who brought him here was Youli, Yougu's biological brother.

Looking at him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally you're awake. You must stay in bed and rest for the time being," Youli said in a cold voice, "Don't be so reckless in the future."

Yougu was lying on the bed, looking at Youli's tired but worried eyes, and knew that he was scared, so he said obediently, "I know."

How could he not be scared? The feeling of being on the verge of death, his mind fell into absolute darkness, the dagger flew towards him, and the scene of piercing his abdomen kept echoing in Yougu's mind.

He retracted his trembling hands back into the quilt and forced a smile at Youli: "I won't act rashly. You must be worried these days. Go back and rest."

Youli stared at his face, and facing Yougu's surprised expression, he lifted his quilt, and the two squeezed onto the same bed.

"Yugu, you know, in this world, you are my only relative, and I am your only relative as well. Neither of us can afford the risk of losing any of us, right?"

"..." Yugu looked at him with red eyes: "Yes, it's my fault, brother."

"Those two people are definitely not good people. The elders will deal with them. I will definitely avenge you for the knife you stabbed me with."

Yuli's voice was getting weaker and weaker, but he still managed to finish the sentence.

Yugu looked at Yuli's sleeping face and couldn't help but move his body closer to him.

They are each other's only relatives.

...

The rain in Nanlong seemed endless. The humidity and sultry heat made Jiang Zhiyu, who was used to staying indoors, go out more often.

The boys and girls who surrounded them that day were all nobles.

Nanlong was not as big as Tianqi. Walking on the street, it really fulfilled the saying that if you look up, you can't see it, but if you look down, you can see it.
