Chapter 140
Chapter 140
Yu Yu raised his hand to lift his hair, and the wet drops of water slid down his arm, dripping continuously on the surface of the water.
He let out a long breath.
The mountain boy who was hiding behind shook his hair in dissatisfaction. This movement brought Yu Yu back to his senses. He lay on the wall of the barrel and looked at the beast with some fried hair. He couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he was happy, Why are you here?" He stretched his fingers from the edge of the bucket, and stopped when he saw the wetness of his fingertips.
The beast rubbed against his fingers instead.
The wet moisture was quickly absorbed by the fluff, but correspondingly, Yu Ji's arms were also covered with fluff.He shook his head helplessly in his heart. As expected, this strong desire for revenge... He pulled back the water, soaked his whole body in the water, and murmured, "It's going to be too late, is your Highness ready?"
There was a rustling sound, and immediately a naked, muscular body was also squeezed into the wooden barrel. The half-full water level suddenly rose, and the overflowing water instantly wet the floor, causing harm to the fish in the pond.Yu Yu only had time to glance at the pile of soaked clothes before the person behind him turned his face away, pinched his chin and bit his mouth.
Painful and lingering.
Like the very definition of this nameless relationship.
"What do you want to do?" Li Chengqian let go of his hand and looked at Yu Yu with dark eyes.
Yu Yu wiped the stinging corner of his mouth, looked down at the drops of water rolling down from his bare chest, and distractedly changed the topic, "Are you not feeling uncomfortable anymore?" The water surface was swaying.
He remembered that the last time the prince was incarnate, his whole body felt cold, with imperceptible weakness.
Li Chengqian said with a half-smile, "There is only one discomfort."
Yu Yu paused, and looked away expressionlessly.
Oh.
stared too long.
"Your Highness also knows that if our guess is true, it will be too late whether it is to start from the capital or issue an edict." Yu Yu said lightly, "There is no way to mobilize troops, even if we know, it is only a matter of time." It can be regarded as mental arithmetic without intention."
Whether it is to mobilize the army or to make the states martial law is not something Yu Yu can do, the best way is to order from the court.However, it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it will take time for the order to be transmitted from Chang'an back to Quanzhou.
And this time difference is enough to do a lot of things.
Li Chengqian hugged Yu Yu and sat down in the wooden barrel. Two naked people sat together, which made Yu Yu uncomfortable, but when Li Chengqian opened his mouth, his attention was quickly attracted to him. "That's true, but why do you think I asked Fang Tianjian to come over?"
Yu Yu grabbed Li Chengqian's arm with his fingers, and thoughtfully said, "What was Fang Tianjian's previous position?"
"Yiwei Habayashi Zhonglang general."
This must be an official position under the fourth rank. Although it can't be regarded as walking sideways in the capital, it is still a capable official.Just being sent to Lingnan Road by Li Chengqian... He shrank subconsciously, "Your Highness has already made plans?"
"Why didn't you come here with a plan?"
Li Chengqian chuckled, scooped up water and poured it on Yu Yu's shoulders. The hot and humid feeling made Yu Yu move uncomfortably. This extremely awkward posture quickly made both of them realize how immobile it is. right thing.
Yu Yu subtly paused for three breaths, and then said nonchalantly: "At that time, the nearby Zhechong Mansion should be mobilized earlier, no wonder Fang Tianjian looks so strange recently, and even blocks me...I'm afraid that I will be at this juncture. Do something that disrupts the plan? The order His Highness gave him is a bit redundant."
He meant something.
"I can't protect you, why should I keep his life?" Li Chengqian said casually, "You are a character who bumps into the south wall without knowing it. If no one is watching you, you will break through even if it is a dragon's pool or a tiger's lair. Anyway, Fang Tianjian's martial arts is not bad." At least it is impossible for Yu Yu to slip away from Fang Tianjian's nose.
Yu Yu shook his head and said, "This matter is vain. Since Your Highness has already made a perfect plan..."
"What's the best solution?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, and pressed his fingers down each section of Yu Yu's back. The itchy feeling provoked ambiguous emotions, "You are in Nan'an." But there was a bit of helplessness in the softness.
Yu Yu was silent for a while, then raised his hand to wipe his face, the back that had been keeping a distance intentionally or unintentionally softened, and finally filled the sense of distance, the feeling of skin-to-skin contact made the roots of his ears a little red , "Even if it is a fight, Nan'an will not be the first choice. It's just that at that time... No matter what, the early stage will be very difficult."
Apart from Guanfang and Guanzhong, there are not many troops stationed in the rest of the territory, especially in Lingnan Road where there are only six Zhechong mansions.Even the Zhechong Mansion of Shangfu can only have two thousand troops, let alone Lingnan Road, which barely has a middle-lower one.That is to say, the entire Lingnan Daoming can mobilize about several thousand troops, which includes the territory of more than two dozen states.
It is still a bit difficult to guard, or to be on guard.
Besides, Yu Yu didn't think Quanzhou and Zhangzhou would be important targets, if...then there must be a key stronghold nearby!
The world is so big, and it is the place where military strategists have often conquered all the time. Relying on Guanzhong, Hebei, Southeast, Yi, Liang and other places, they can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and have a calm foundation.
In any case, Lingnan Road would not be a suitable choice.
Therefore...
"The news that came to me at the beginning...has been screened by you?" Yu Yu sighed faintly, with a certainty that should have been so.
Li Chengqian didn't answer directly, he seemed to like this way of asking and answering with Yu Yu very much, "Why do you know that?"
Yu Yu said mercilessly: "You are paranoid and slightly hostile. If Nan'an was really dangerous to you, you would not let me come here." Even though Yu Yu declined the order to send someone to take care of me, But then they still sent a team of people from thousands of miles away. If Fang Tianjian didn't work hard, he wouldn't have deceived the most important thing.
The spying information is true, but the most important thing...
He couldn't help frowning.
Li Chengqian obviously didn't see his appearance, as if he knew his current expression, he said with a low smile: "It's your wish to be sent abroad, so I naturally won't interfere. But... I did stop a lot of people." choose."
Yu Yu's news channels all come from Li Chengqian, but it's not surprising that there are such results when he gives an order.
"Oh." Yu Yu said.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked interestingly: "Isn't Chiwu angry?"
"It's not mine in the first place, why bother about it?" Yu Xuan asked this question, but asked back strangely.At the beginning, he only planned to go outside, and he had no idea where to go.It just happened that something was wrong in Quanzhou, and in the end he was the one who filled the vacancy of Nan'an county captain.
As for the prince's concealment of the changes, this is not even a concealment in his opinion.
This was originally the prince's manpower.
In fact, it is not clear whether the attitude of the prince's thorough investigation is for the original calculation or for other reasons. After all, even now, Yu Yu knows that if there is no such strange weapon, Li Chengqian may not take it seriously now.
Since the sage ascended the throne, in the past ten years, there have been several rebellions, large and small, even Li You, the former king of Qi, rebelled once... This has almost become the norm.
If there were no surprises, this was no different from the usual multiple expeditions.
However, Yu Yu always had a bad feeling about guns. After all, if he could make a gun, he might be able to make other things, and these things... He narrowed his eyes slightly, which was a bit ahead of his time.
Yu Yu's attitude suddenly changed, but such a magnanimous appearance did not make the people behind him happy at all. Instead, his expression became more and more dangerous as he spoke. Li Chengqian said quietly: "Chiwu is good, why don't you complain about it all your life ?” This should have been resentment and sorrow, but when the prince said it, it seemed to be a bully and intimidation, so Yu Yu couldn’t help but bow his head and chuckle.
This contrast is really...
Li Chengqian pinched his chin suddenly and turned his head away, the wet touch half licked and half bitten on his side face.Yu Yu was so painful and itchy that he couldn't help but dodge back, but he couldn't dodge it no matter what.The swelling pain made him frown, and his arms pushed against the prince's sudden madness. If he was really bitten, he wouldn't have to see anyone tomorrow!
Finally caught a gap, Yu Yu suddenly raised his hand to cover his face, and said in a muffled voice, "Why bite me?"
Li Chengqian's eyes were slightly bright, with a gloomy look on his face, he moved back, his gentle voice was hoarse, "You don't know?" He paused, and then his voice became gentle and dangerously low, "Yes, You wouldn't know..." He scratched the back of Yu Yu's hand with his fingertips from the distance of the back of his hand, "You have a dimple here."
Yu Yu seldom smiled, and seldom smiled enough to touch the skin on his face, revealing the dimple that had been hidden for nearly 20 years.If Li Chengqian hadn't been looking at him just now, he might have missed those subtle changes.
A small dimple, too small to be noticed.
Only one person is destined to see it.
Yu Yu's hand covering his face slightly bent, paused, he retracted it, tilted his head and rubbed the shoulder of the person behind him, and suddenly said, "Do you want to do it?"
He said slowly, "Your Highness, the water is cold."
An unknown look flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, his tenderness turned into hot hardness at this moment, he bent down with a half-smile, "Enough courage." Said: "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of your Tete's appearance?" He was calm, but started to move extremely jerky.
Li Chengqian snorted, sneered, casually grabbed the float on the water surface and threw it forcefully towards the bed, upon impact, the room was plunged into darkness.
"Danger……"
Yu Yu wanted to see the fallen candle, but was pulled into warm arms and stole a kiss in the dark.
There was a murmur between the lips and tongue, "It's gone."
A night watchman outside the house was disturbed, and the sound of footsteps sounded one after another, only for Lang Jun to give a slow and low order, "...you all go to rest." .
Even though he had doubts in his heart, after the words were thrown out in the room, the guards had no choice but to retreat.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Yu looked at the water surface of the copper basin expressionlessly.
Even if he was always indifferent, he could still see the redness and swelling of his lips. Even if he was trying to fool a ghost, he would think that he had stolen someone in the middle of the night.
He was seriously distressed.
"Bang bang—"
"What's the matter?"
Yu Yu bowed his head and tied his belt. He had almost cleaned up the mess in the house.
"Lang Jun, Fang Tianjian is waiting outside."
It's Xu Qing.
Yu Yu put on his clothes, took two steps outside, walked back as if remembering something, turned his head to look at the reflection in the water... that's all, he said that this part of his face was hit.
Last night the prince seemed to have gone crazy, Yu Yu murmured so many words don't leave any traces, although there were no obvious hickey marks outside the clothes, but the white skin covered by the clothes was covered with mottled If it wasn't for the desire to respect him, even Yu Yu would have to complain about it now.
He touched his waist without any trace, and stepped out.
Fang Tianjian outside the house squatted halfway in the corner with a person, who looked like a big radish that hadn't been pulled up, and looked so sleepy that he had no energy.This is a rare thing for these strong and strong men. Yu Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at them. He wanted to ask, but suddenly his eyes froze.
For example, on Fang Tianjian's plain gray coat, there is a handful of obvious black hairs.
Yu Yu looked away expressionlessly.
The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and I'm afraid that person did something else in the middle of the night.
I must have seen a ferocious beast beside the bed in the middle of the night...it was very dangerous.
Facing Fang Tianjian's resentful eyes, Yu Yu said without changing his expression, "What's the matter?"
"Lang Jun." Fang Tianjian stood up and whispered a few words in Yu Yu's ear.
Yu Yu frowned upon hearing this.
He squeezed his fingers, and the morning light cast a thin and pale shadow. Yu Yu paced in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, one step, two steps, and then he stopped, and said to the other side, "We have to get a big one."
Fang Tianjian:?
...
Quanzhou Prefecture.
As New Year's Eve approaches, the sky, which has been gloomy for half a month, is finally clear and clear. The sun shines on the mottled light and shadow of the neighbors on the eaves.The common people are busy preparing new year's goods, and the shopkeepers in the streets and alleys are rushing to do big business for the whole year in this last season, and laughter resounds throughout the state capital.
Spring Festival is coming.
In a large house, from a distance, there are officials in official uniforms.
Zhang Gan rubbed his hands and stood on the porch, with several adjutants standing behind him, even Chief Shi Sima Lushi and the military envoys were there.Behind them are a few staff members who usually discuss affairs, but they still have to stay away from such a major event on the bright side.
"Mr. Zhang..." Dou Jia couldn't bear the cramped atmosphere, leaned forward and said, "It's just a small rebellion, so don't worry. Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou, will go out in person, and he will naturally be able to catch it."
A few years ago, when the mountain lizards in the west rebelled, it was Dang Renhong who came out and took down the rebellion easily. Therefore, although Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are close, don't worry too much except for being a little surprised.
Zhangzhou Dongliao rebelled.
The news reached Quanzhou this morning.
Most people don't understand why Zhang Guihui is acting so...unusual.
Zhang Qian also wanted to agree with Bie Jia's words, but the premise was that the things he found had never happened before.Yes, mountain tusks have rebelled and attacked many times, which is the most common thing for those barbarian races.As long as Dang Renhong went with the soldiers and horses of Zhechong Mansion, they would always be able to calm down.
It should be so.
But what about those missing?
Mountain Liao would not have such patience, and they would not be able to confuse people like this, let alone create such a thing with such painstaking efforts... Unless, the person who rebelled was not Mountain Liao.
In fact, this was also Zhang Gan's judgment on this at the beginning.
Although there are not many things involved in the case of the Liu family, some things about iron products and armor have been dug out.
Zhang Gan rubbed his fingertips expressionlessly, but at the very moment when they were about to get the secret information, the Zhang family brothers committed suicide in prison.Immediately, the cell boss jumped into the water out of fear of responsibility.Even though Liu Shi was alive, he didn't know much, so he couldn't dig out traces at all.
The thread ends there.
This incident left him with a bad premonition, which even persists to this day.
Zhang Gan sighed, waved his hands and said to the people in the mansion: "Now the counties are strictly ordered to take precautions. It is a good thing that the station is not in Quanzhou, but it is not far away. Now I will guard any gate of the city! Don't let me be there. Put it in the gap at a critical moment!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Gan knew that what he said just now contained elements of domineering... However, at such a tense moment, when even the conjecture in his heart could not be guaranteed to be implemented, it didn't matter how vigilant he was.
After all, whether it was suicide or "suicide", there will always be only puzzles left.
His eyes swept over the respectful officials behind him, and he frowned indistinctly.
...
Pubing accurately conveyed the governor's order, and it was circulated to all counties in the state within a short period of time.
The first day in Nan'an County was fully prepared.
Zheng Shouxuan sat in the lobby and listened to Yu Yu's orderly arrangement. Except for the dull pain that he was accustomed to at the beginning, he had long since ignored it, and even jokingly said: "Half a month ago you told me that bandits were running around, and all townships need to step up their efforts." Therefore, it is necessary to let Zhengxiang sages from all over the place visit and warn, I thought it was too much to make a fuss, but now it seems to be a reasonable thing."
Yu Yu said calmly: "This is my job."
Zheng Shouxuan shook his head, clapped his hands and said: "Chiwu, the county magistrate naturally wants to protect the people in a place, but the people are human beings, and the county magistrates are also human beings. To be the first in everything, or It’s one step more than others, and there is so much to pay.” His eyes were piercing, and the way he stared at Yu Yu was very wise, “But, don’t lose yourself too.”
Until Zheng Shouxuan said this, Yu Yu was expressionless, but it seemed that these words moved him a little, he frowned, and said seriously: "Why did Mingfu say that too?"
After the county government's arrangement was over, there were only the two of them left in the lobby.
Zheng Shouxuan didn't put on airs, "Don't Chiwu know? You always have a fearless determination. That doesn't mean you really don't know the consequences, it's just that... you don't care." He forcefully He waved his hand, and then abruptly brought up a topic that had been silent for a long time, "I know you always have a plan, so it's better to check Liu Shi, find out the problems of Liu's family, or contact the state secretary, assuming, I'm assuming What would you do if all of your methods failed?"
After all legal and formal approaches have failed?
Yu Yu blinked slowly, "I won't let myself fall into that situation."
At the same time, Jung Soo Hyun smiled.
He knew Yu Yu had already answered his question.
Zheng Shouxuan patted his thigh with a smile, he even tugged on his cuffs, feeling a little excited, "Chiwu, you may come from an extraordinary background, or you may be talented, but you can only go step by step when you enter the officialdom. Although you have never I have talked about it, but I know that you will go down to various villages and towns every month to investigate, and you will also chat with old farmers about farming, and even go to the workshop many times to deduce the water map with those pawns... But no matter how much you do No matter how many more, a county lieutenant is nothing more than a low-ranking official. He can only control the size of the area, who would care about your kindness?" Zheng Shouxuan's words were not to refute Yu Yu, on the contrary, just like the one who drowned the baby girl. During the discussion, although he had the opposite opinion with Yu Yu, he had good intentions towards Yu Yu.
That's why there are so many words.
One should do one's duty, and if one goes beyond the limit, it will become a trouble. If one does the right thing, one will get a few praises, but if one does the wrong thing, it will lead to disaster.Although the six years of official career did not bring much profit to Zheng Shouxuan, he has witnessed many such embarrassments, which often make people feel the sadness of the world.
The blood is hard to rekindle.
Yu Yu probably sensed Zheng Shouxuan's kindness, and did not argue back as usual.That's often embarrassing.He was silent thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he finally said: "What Mingfu said is the truth. It's just that I didn't do these things to make people appreciate. Whether they are sad or happy, It has nothing to do with me. I do it just because I want to do it. From this point of view, I am not kind." His drawn-out cold voice has some casual indifference, like snow that cannot be melted in winter .
If the so-called method of change is formed through the accumulation of these innocent lives, stepping on the steps made of blood to ascend to the throne of God, and then being a hypocritical and prudish gentleman...
Yu Yu lowered his eyes, restraining the cold light in his eyes.
Somebody should ring the death knell for the journey home.
...
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
This should have been a good day, after all, the Lantern Festival will be in two days, but the area to the south is full of uneasiness due to the war in Zhangzhou.Dang Renhong's war, which was supposed to be resolved quickly, was dragged on for a long time and turned into a tug of war.
And this means that the supply of food and grass is also on the agenda.
Whoever can keep the supply of food and grass at this juncture has a chance of winning.
Both of these are intentional and unintentional dramas.
The rebels did not expect that Dang Renhong had a certain understanding of the firepower they possessed, so they could not be caught off guard. Dang Renhong was also surprised that the new weapons of these rebels were so powerful. Within range is much easier to use than bows and arrows... This made Dang Renhong feel a vague sense of crisis.
This battle cannot be delayed any longer, it must be suppressed as soon as possible!
He patted the map and asked, "When will the food and grass arrive?"
"Two days later."
Dang Renhong was taken aback when he heard the words, two days later... that would be the Lantern Festival.
The author has something to say: Six thousand update get√
