Chapter 133 No One Believes
While they were moving forward with joy amidst hardship, Duan Ya was sitting firmly in the camp, collecting news from all sides.
She knew that Feng Aoqing had returned to the exile team, and the group also bypassed Qizhou and then went to Yanzhou.
"How cruel! Han Lang." Duan Ya's tone was still so calm.
Shangguan Li was standing next to a huge whiteboard with a huge map hanging on it. He was using magnetic colored discs to mark the progress of each army on the map for Duan Ya to see.
This was taken by Xue Jiaer from her space. Her space is the office building where her company is located, so these stationery supplies are available. There are several floors of shopping malls downstairs in the office building, which sell clothing, daily necessities, and restaurants.
"Princess, you misunderstood Lord Han." Shangguan Li turned around.
"how?"
"If this mine was worse than Lian Sheng's, Lord Han would not care about it, but it is obviously better than Lian Sheng's."
"Well, he understands. He spent a long time at the Liansheng Mine for me."
"Given our current situation, even if the mine is good, we can't use it yet. But if the people of Qizhou find out about this mine and tell the emperor first, it will be troublesome."
"Yes, that's how it is."
The mine is an unknown, and digging good stones now may not necessarily bring good results.
Moreover, mining requires professional personnel, not everyone can do it. Therefore, Lian Sheng’s experienced people must be transferred, which will definitely affect Lian Sheng’s weapons manufacturing.
It's wartime now, and weapons can't wait. Although Lian Sheng's weapons are not as good as Jixia's, they can still be used.
"So, Lord Han's heart is still with you." Shangguan Li continued to arrange.
"Then you're wrong. First, he's afraid that my brother will find out and send someone to investigate, which will affect the progress of the exile group. Second, he's afraid that I'll kill Feng Aoqing to silence her. Third, he's afraid that I'm determined to open the mine, which will affect major events. If that happens, Zhaojing will be unstable, which will affect Yanzhou, and then the Mo family in Yanzhou, and then Feng Aoqing."
Shangguan Li's hands trembled slightly. He had just spoken too much. If he could think of it, how could the princess not think of it?
"Where is Yuan?" Duan Ya asked.
Shangguan Li immediately pointed to a red magnet and said, "The letter I received today has arrived in Yantai."
"Well, when he starts to act, the road in Qizhou will probably be difficult to travel!"
"Yes." Shangguan Li nodded.
"Yuan wants to stay in Yanzhou and live in seclusion. How is that possible? Zhao Jing can't do without him, and I can't do without him either." Duan Ya walked to the map.
"Yes, General Mo is brave and good at fighting. He is a rare talent in the world. It would be a pity if he were to take off his armor."
"The Mo family is his bond, Feng Aoqing is his weakness, they will destroy him."
"Yes, I have arranged it."
"Your poison won't kill her."
"Even if you can use poison, you can't be invulnerable to swords and guns." Shangguan Li said with a smile.
Duan Ya stood up and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent were neatly arranged tents, and judging from their number, there were at least tens of thousands of people.
She was already looking at the capital.
Everyone thought she was still in Liansheng and would not leave until the siege was complete and Mo Beiyuan entered the capital. They didn't know that her team was small and they were traveling by water, but they had already arrived.
It turned out that the hidden troops from all over the vicinity of the capital had already gathered here.
She never trusted anyone, including Xiahou Zheng and Mo Beiyuan.
She did not use the general of the Chenzhou Canglin Army to besiege the capital as Mo Beiyuan and Han Lang expected. The Chenzhou Canglin Army had other functions.
They went from Chenzhou to Liansheng, seemingly intending to encircle Huanzhou, but they stopped in Liansheng.
Shangguan Li also followed him out of the tent and stood beside Duan Ya.
"Now that you are here, who will lead the Third Prince's troops?" Duan Ya asked.
"Don't worry, my junior brother is leading the army. All the generals have been replaced by our men. They have already started marching. They have also cut off contact with the Third Prince, so they are already ours."
"I trust you to do the work," Duan Ya nodded. "Do you know Yuan's second brother, Mo Nanzhou?"
"Yes, he also studied at Xuanyue Academy. Counting from the time he enrolled, he is my junior fellow apprentice."
"How is it? Do you have the talent to assist the country?"
"This... compared to his brother, there's a world of difference. Forget about being a talent for assisting the country, he can't even complete ordinary schoolwork. But one thing is that he knows how to please the teachers. Everyone in the academy knows him."
"That's not to say he's completely useless. He has the bloodline, so he shouldn't be stupid. It's just that he's the son of a concubine, so he lacks the upbringing of the Dashi family. I remember the first time I saw him was in an art studio, where he slept in the same room with several geishas." Duan Ya recalled their first meeting.
"It's true that he can do things like that, and he's so handsome. When his fellow apprentices go out on the street together, he often attracts the attention of women." A man like Shangguan Li, who has extraordinary intelligence but ordinary looks, may say it frankly, but in fact, he will definitely attract admiration.
"Is he familiar to you?"
Shangguan Li knelt down immediately upon hearing this and said, "Your Highness, I have never spoken to him. I just know him. Please believe me."
"Look, why are you kneeling down? I was just asking, thinking that if he was of some use, I would keep him. Now that I hear what you said, I feel that he is of little use, so there is no need to keep him."
Duan Ya helped Shangguan Li up.
"Yes, I am following your order. No one will be left alive." Shangguan Li wiped his sweat.
When he introduced himself, he did not mention this. It was not that he was deliberately concealing it, but he did not connect Mo Nanzhou with himself at all. Unexpectedly, Duan Ya found this connection.
It seems that in addition to Han Lang, she also has her own hidden guards or secret agents.
Therefore, she never really believed in Han Lang. Even though Han Lang went through life and death for her and stood by her side for ten years, he still did not gain her full trust. So the few days he came to her side really meant nothing.
"This amount will be recorded in my account from now on. If General Mo wants to take revenge, I will be the one to pay for his life." He expressed his loyalty again.
"Put it on Li Yeliang! There were seven a few days ago." Duan Ya smiled.
......
Li Yeliang had cut off contact with the outside world. He had not received any letters and thought that the disaster situation in various places had eased. He was worried about his elder sister, but there was no news of her movement.
He thought that Duan Ya had already noticed his intention, and in order to avoid being given an excuse by him, she did not move people, food, or money.
Although he cared about state affairs, the brain given by his parents was in the hands of his eldest sister alone, so he found it extremely difficult to deal with small things, especially after Duan Ya left.
Because he, like Duan Ya, grew up in such an environment and did not trust anyone. He would think three or five times about what these ministers said, wondering if they were saying that to harm him.
In the past, I could ask my eldest sister for her opinion, but now I can’t.
To be honest, he regretted his decision a little.
But there was no way, Duan Ya was too scary, and he didn't want to live in Duan Ya's shadow.
Today, there are seven concubines kneeling before him, and there is a white silk in front of each concubine.
Without exception, these concubines were chosen for him by Duan Ya. I don’t know if it was because of her that they were all sentenced to death.
