Chapter 390 The Belated Hundred Days Banquet (2)
"Wanwan, come to the study."
Just as Shen Xiangwan was about to chat with them, a voice suddenly came from the intercom next to him: "Okay."
After giving a simple reply, Shen Xiangwan and Yue Ruyan nodded, then stood up and left the main room.
"Wanwan is so capable. He can really help Brother Yi and the others."
Watching her figure disappear from her sight, Mu Yunran said with envy that when she was in the provincial capital, she saw her husband was so tired every day and she wanted to help him, but she could not do anything to help and could only feel distressed silently. On the other hand, Wanwan helped a lot not only at home, but also in the army and the government office. If it weren't for him, Brother Yi and the others would not have developed so smoothly.
"Don't compare yourself to her. Wanwan is more capable than many men. We can't even compare."
Looking up at her, Yue Ruyan teased the little girl and said that if she were to say who she admired most in her life, it would be Wanwan. It seemed that there was nothing she couldn't do. No matter what it was, she could do it perfectly. In just over a year, she had done so many practical things for the people that even they couldn't count them.
"No, I'm just envious."
She still has this little bit of self-awareness, but it doesn't prevent her from envying and admiring Wanwan.
Wei family, study.
"What do you want me to do?"
Shen Xiangwan walked straight into the study without knocking. Wei Chengyi seemed to be talking to Yuan Xiu about something important. Both of them looked a little serious, but when he saw her come in, a smile instantly spread across his face: "Come and sit down."
"Um."
Walking up to him, Shen Xiangwan pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Look at this."
Wei Chengyi picked up a memorial and handed it to her. Shen Xiangwan took it and opened it with confusion. When she saw the content clearly, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. The dog emperor was actually planning to let Chu Liang go to Binzhou alone as the deputy general of Wanqi Mountain to assist him in suppressing the rebels. It seemed like a normal transfer, but in fact it was a hidden conspiracy. First of all, Chu Liang could not lead the troops to Binzhou. If something happened on the way, who could they go to for justice?
Even if he arrived safely in Binzhou, he would only be a deputy general, with no access to military power. Moreover, his life would likely be in the hands of Wanqi Shan. Killing someone on the battlefield without anyone noticing would be incredibly easy. Did the dog emperor already know about Chu Liang's relationship with them? Or did he simply want to transfer Chu Liang away and regain control of the Eastern Border Army?
"What do you think?"
Putting down the memorial, Shen Xiangwan looked up at Wei Chengyi. She wanted to hear their thoughts.
"Send people to kill the messenger. As long as the imperial edict dispatching Chu Liang doesn't reach Yuzhou, the emperor can't do anything to him."
No matter what purpose the emperor had in mobilizing Chu Liang, as long as the imperial edict could not reach Yuzhou, they could pretend not to know. The saying "the emperor is far away" is not just a common saying.
"Well, I'll go find Lin Wei. He's been to Yuzhou several times and is more familiar with the route."
At the moment, this seemed to be the only solution. Shen Xiangwan was about to stand up when Wei Chengyi quickly grabbed her. With his other hand, he picked up a memorial and a letter and handed them to her: "Take the memorial with you. The letter contains the contact information of our people in the Imperial City. To prevent the Emperor from sending people to Yuzhou, Chu Liang and the others had better keep track of his movements."
"good."
Shen Xiangwan did not refuse. She put away the memorial and letter and left the study. From beginning to end, she never smiled again.
"Do you think Chu Liang and his men can successfully intercept and kill the messenger?"
When they were the only two left in the study, Yuan Xiu asked with a heavy face. It was not that he did not trust Chu Liang, but mainly because he had never met him before and had no idea of his strength, so it was difficult for him to have too much confidence in him.
"Don't underestimate Chu Liang. His ability to command troops is no worse than ours. The fact that he has almost taken control of the Eastern Frontier Army is the best proof of this."
Looking up at him, Wei Chengyi picked up another memorial.
"Um."
Come to think of it, Yuan Xiu quickly collected his thoughts and discussed other things with Wei Chengyi. The number of refugees pouring into Chenzhou did not decrease because the grain merchants and wealthy families were dealt with. Instead, their number increased. If it were not for the bumper grain harvest this time and the high taxes they collected, they would not be able to bear such pressure.
Elsewhere, after going downstairs, Shen Xiangwan sent someone to fetch Lin Wei. She didn't smile the entire time. Mu Yunran and Yue Ruyan both vaguely sensed that something might have happened, so they leaned over, holding the child in their arms. "What's wrong? Is the sky falling?"
"See for yourself."
Too lazy to waste words, Shen Xiangwan took out the letter and handed it to them.
"Huh? The dog emperor knows that Chu Liang is in cahoots with us?"
After taking the memorial and reading the contents clearly, they both frowned. Otherwise, why would he suddenly transfer Chu Liang?
"Who knows?"
Pei Ji sneered. If she hadn't wanted the dog emperor to watch the Tianqi Kingdom fall apart and perish in his hands, she would have killed him long ago. Why would she have kept him alive until now? Besides, the dog emperor's several adult princes were almost as bad as him. Killing him and replacing him with an even worse one didn't seem like a good idea.
"You guys prepare..."
"lady."
Just as Yue Ruyan was about to ask about their thoughts, Lin Wei walked in. Pei Ji didn't bother to talk to him. He took back the memorial and handed it to him along with the letter. "Go to Yuzhou right away and give the memorial and letter to my brother. Tell him to send someone to intercept and kill the messenger."
"yes."
Seeing her unusually solemn expression, Lin Wei realized the seriousness of the matter and took the memorial and letter and put them away carefully.
"Be careful on the road, and remember to hand it over to your brother personally."
"yes."
Shen Xiangwan gave another worried reminder, and Lin Wei bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out.
The incident with the Dog Emperor was just a small episode. Shen Xiangwan quickly suppressed her dissatisfaction and took out a few little yellow ducks to tease the little dumplings. Unexpectedly, the little cubs seemed to like them too. After coming back, they scrambled to play with them. Shen Xiangwan simply made an excuse to go back to the room, took out a bag directly, and gave a few to each child.
"Today is the hundred-day banquet for little Tuanzi. Thank you all for coming to celebrate with him. My husband and I won't say anything more. We wish our little Tuanzi good health and all the best to you all."
It was already mid-September. Although it still didn't rain, the sun wasn't as scorching and the temperature dropped a little. So they set up the table in the yard. Before the meal started, Ji Shaohan and his wife both stood up. After they finished speaking, they raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.
