Chapter 51: Shen Zitian's Plan
"Gu Li'an?" Lan Shang tilted his head and thought for a long time. It seemed that he had heard of this name somewhere. Lan Shang remembered that he had heard of the name Li'an when he was a servant by Queen Wang. At that time, Yang Cheng's relationship with Yucheng had not reached this point. On that day, an envoy came to visit the Yucheng, and the name seemed to be called Li'an.
The reason I still have the impression that after the envoy visited His Majesty that day, he went to have tea with the Queen Wang. In the back garden, Lan Shang accidentally poured the tea on the envoy and dirty the man's clothes. After Lan Shang subconsciously thought, this is over...
Just as Lan Shang was so scared that he knelt down and apologized quickly. He lowered his head but heard laughter coming from his head. He slowly raised his head and saw that the envoy was smiling at him. He helped Lan Shang up and comforted himself and said it was okay. It was not until that day that Lan Shang realized that there was such a gentle man in this world, and then he remembered this name, but after a long time, he forgot it.
After hearing what the princess mentioned, she pulled the memories out of the depths of her memory.
"This is contact with the Chu family." The master's order cannot be too much or disobeyed, so he bowed and walked out of the door.
At this time, in Inn B, there was a dead dove on the windowsill of the house, and blood slowly flowed down the window wall.
Yandong and Mo Ziran leaned against the window and watched the movements of the inn, while the other sat down on the bed with his head hanging down and dozed. Under Mo Ziran's care, His Highness's fever had subsided and he could wake up in a while.
The few people came to Yang Cheng and didn't have a good rest, but Mo Ziran seemed to have endless energy to use. He first took care of His Highness, and after feeding the medicine, he continued to observe the movements on behalf of Yandong. During this period, he had not eaten a mouthful of rice or a drop of water, which made Yandong once doubt whether Mo Ziran was a man who was beaten.
"Cough cough..." The man's cough appeared on the bed, and as the bedding was lifted up, the man sat up.
Mo Ziran was the first to react and walked to the window, almost slapped Gu Yandong.
"Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable in your body?" Sitting beside the bed, his voice was calm and rational.
Shin Muchen shook his head, "Cough cough" his lips were slightly white, and even his eyes might not have shown their spirits for a long time.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to ask about Ma Kui and Song Chengyao.
A hoarse voice came out, "Do you still keep staring?" Shen Muchen was worried that the two of them would be confused because they fell down. It was a trivial matter for him to get sick, but it was a big matter for him to lose someone.
Yandong couldn't listen anymore, and Shen Muchen didn't take his body seriously at all. He was crazy. "Your Highness! Yandong thought that Your Highness should take his body first and was still sick. How could he be so troubled?"
Shen Muchen looked a little unsatisfied, and he leaned against the curve of the bed, looking sick.
Mo Ziran did not say any unnecessary concern, and responded to Shen Muchen's question just now. "Reply to your highness, Song Chengyao just went back to the inn and said a few words to Ma Kui, and then went into the house alone. Not long after, a pigeon was placed. It seemed that he was thinking about contacting Yucheng." When he said this, Mo Ziran handed a note on the table to the man on the bed.
This note is tied to the pigeon's feet.
Ma Kui was still very alert. He turned back to the house without watching the pigeon fly out of his sight. He thought the pigeon would fly away but he was slashed by Mo Ziran and took away the things from the pigeon's feet.
Shen Muchen took the note and saw it clearly stated, "At most three days, Song Yaocheng will die."
"At three days at most, Song Yaocheng... dies." Shen Muchen's gaze was a little blurred. He looked at the words on the note and read them word by word, "Are they going to execute Song Yaocheng?"
The matter is getting more and more terrible. Song's head must be beheaded when he gave birth to such a thing. Since they wanted Song Chengyao to die, they just had to issue an order, why did they take him to Yangcheng from afar? "What do you think, Mo Ziran?" He asked when he saw that Mo Ziran had been silent.
"Nothing that Your Majesty does is in vain, there must be his reason. Your Majesty uses Song Chengyao to connect Yucheng with Yang Cheng at this time, which should be related to this battle." Although Mo Ziran doesn't speak on weekdays, he has already learned everything. "I'm afraid..." Mo Ziran stops talking. He stopped looking at Shen Muchen's face worse and he stopped.
Shen Muchen closed his eyes and rested. After Mo Ziran finished speaking, he could probably guess Shen Zitian’s plan. It was simply dirty. "Hmph, Shen Zitian really had some tricks, and he could even think of this trick." After that, he raised his lips and smiled.
In this moment, his face looked much better, "It's interesting now."
Yandong didn't understand. He glanced at Mo Ziran and Shen Muchen, "What Your Highness is referring to..."
"The difference between Yucheng and Yang Cheng is extremely small. If it fights, it will definitely lead to the injury of both sides. But now Yang Cheng is ambitious. He knows that he is old but still swallows Beiyu. No matter how much he loses, he will fight hard as long as he can occupy the vast territory of Yucheng, so this battle is inevitable."
"We all know these." Yandong was still confused after saying so much, "Why has Emperor Yangcheng not declared war yet?"
Shen Muchen was also struggling with this issue. It was really difficult to speculate when he declared war. But now he no longer needs to consider this issue. "I lack a motivation. If the time and place are good today, both countries are not short of people. The only thing they lack is harmony. Yandong, I ask you, what can make a country unite quickly and gain an advantage?"
Yandong shook his head.
"Shame and dissatisfaction." Shen Muchen continued, "I finally understand why the Song family made a mistake, but Shen Zitian only accepted their goods without any punishment. He was doing a deal with the Song family."
"That's right." Mo Ziran, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke, "I'm afraid the deal between Your Majesty and the Song family is to let Song Chengyao die all the way to Yangcheng in exchange for the health of the family. This is definitely a cheap matter for them."
Shen Muchen's eyes moved to the note in his hand again. "I think Song Chengyao's face was so ugly on the way to come, which should be related to the transaction between the two. Shen Zitian asked him to come over to die, and it was also a torture Yang Cheng. Although Song Chengyao is not a famous family, he is also a well-known figure in the court." Shen Muchen's eyes were as sharp as a torch,
He stood up, "The Song family lives in Yangcheng, what do you think the people in the Imperial City will react~"
Shen Muchen guessed that at that time, Shen Zitian would just send someone to kill Song Chengyao, pretending that he was killed by Yang Chengde's devils due to the grudges of the two countries. When the news of Song's death was transmitted back to the palace, Shen Zitian would immediately declare war on Yucheng. As long as he seized the opportunity, he would not only increase morale to our soldiers, but also make Yang Cheng feel chaotic before the war and his heart trembled.
