Chapter 695 Ruthless

Yu Baojia stationed 250,000 soldiers and horses in Changshui, and Changshui's leading general, Mu Boxi, was Yu Baojia's confidant, and they built a strong city wall here. Relatively speaking, Yunqing only had 100,000 troops, so Mu Boxi repelled him the first time he attacked the city.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Yun Qing immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Standing on the high city wall, Mu Boxi looked at the Northwest Army retreating like a tide, with a worried expression on his face.

Lieutenant Zheng Xi saw this and said: "General, Yunqing has retreated, why are you still so worried." Zheng Xi is still very confident in their defense.

Mu Boxi said: "Yunqing's siege this time is just a test, to test our details." Now they rely on the strong city wall to repel them, but the fighting power of the Northwest Army is so strong that he has no idea.

Zheng Xi said: "Don't worry, General. We spent so much money building such a strong and tall city wall. Unless they can fly, they will definitely not be able to pass."

Mu Boxi said: "Don't be too optimistic, we have to prepare for the worst."

For the next two days, Yunqing did not send any more troops. This made Mu Boxi even more uneasy. He could feel that the current calm foreshadowed the coming of a big war. Mu Boxi received the order to guard the long water, so unless he died in battle, he would not take a step back.

Yan Wushuang was very well informed, and soon found out that Du Zheng had left 50,000 troops to fight Yanling for Kang Yongquan, and he himself brought back 50,000 troops to Jinling.

Meng Nian said, "What is Yunqing calling Du Zheng back to Jinling for?" There is a problem with this matter.

Yan Wushuang looked at the map, and said after a while, "Du Zheng is not going back to Jinling, but to join Yunqing."

Meng Nian's face changed slightly: "We just got the news last night that Fang Xing brought 100,000 soldiers and horses to approach Zhuzhou. My lord, Yunqing is going to encircle and suppress Zhejiang from three sides." Zhuzhou is only more than three hundred miles away from Hangzhou .

Seeing that Yan Wushuang didn't answer, Meng Nian said, "With Yunqing's temperament, he shouldn't be so eager." Before, he was making steady progress, but this time he was a little too eager.

Yunqing occasionally took risks in battle, like the last time he used cavalry, it was an adventure, but he basically focused on stability.

Yan Wushuang thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Yu Baojia showed his traces and let Yunqing know that he wanted to transfer the property, so that's why he was so eager." Qiantang is a big piece of fat, not only does he want to eat it Fat meat, Yunqing thought the same.

Meng Nian frowned and said, "If this is the case, then we should send someone to help." This money must not fall into Yunqing's hands, otherwise, it will be very bad for them.

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "Then let Fan Jiang bring Wu Qian's sailors to meet him." Yunqing has no sailors, but Yan Wushuang has a sailor in his hands, but the number is not large, only more than 10,000. However, more than 10,000 sailors are enough at this time.

Meng Nian said: "I hope that all the belongings can be transported out before Yunqing breaks through the Qiantang."

Yan Wushuang said: "It's impossible to ship all of them out, it's not bad if we can ship more than half of them." Firstly, the time is too tight, and secondly, this matter has to be done in secret so that no one will know. If the officials and soldiers below knew about this, there would be no need for Yunqing to beat him up, and the inside would be raped directly.

Meng Nian couldn't help but said: "It would be great if Yu Baojia had done this earlier." In that case, not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also valuable things can be shipped out.

Yan Wushuang sneered: "These people are all the same." They are all people who don't shed tears when they see the coffin. Yu Baojia is stronger than these people, at least he still has time to prepare.

While talking, another battle report came from Liaodong. Lu Gang repelled the Beiyao people again, but this time Lu Gang was shot in the chest and fell into a coma.

Yan Wushuang pinched the battle report,

Said: "One day, I will kill all these Hu people." The Zhou family is almost dead, and the other enemies are basically wiped out by him. The remaining enemies are only the Donghu people.

Meng Nian was silent. Back then, Donghu people killed more than 100,000 people, and they had to repay this blood debt.

At this moment, there was a burst of crying outside, Yan Wushuang said with a dark face, "Who is crying outside?"

Ah Qian hurriedly walked in and said: "My lord, it's Tao Hua, the maid beside Mrs. Xiang."

Yan Wushuang acted very cautiously. Unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter the study room at all. When they walked out of the room, Yan Wushuang looked at Taohua with a cold face and asked, "What happened?"

When Taohua saw Yan Wushuang, she knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, after drinking the bird's nest, your lower body bleeds. Your Majesty, go and see your Madam!"

Rare things are valuable, if Mrs. Ruoxiang's birth is Yan Wushuang's first child, maybe he will still be anxious. It's a pity that Yan Wushuang already has seven sons with the addition of the two incognito sons, so Yan Wushuang really doesn't care about children.

Yan Wushuang said to Ah Qian: "Drag it down and hit twenty big boards. Next time someone dares to cry outside the yard, he will be beaten to death with a stick." What Yan Wushuang hates most is seeing women crying, which makes him feel Very bad luck.

Taohua's complexion is pale, but she has been in the palace for two years and knows Yan Wushuang's temperament. Not only can Yan Wushuang's intercession not change his mind now, but it may even increase the punishment.

Seeing Yan Wushuang turned around to go back to the study, Meng Nian hesitated for a while and said, "My lord, I'd better take a look." It's okay if you don't know. Now that I know it, it seems too heartless to leave it alone. No matter what, Mrs. Xiang is pregnant with the prince's heir.

Yan Wushuang is not someone who would change his mind just because of someone else's two words: "I'll go see her when I finish what I'm doing." He dotes on Mrs. Xiang not because Mrs. Xiang is beautiful and beautiful, but because Mrs. Xiang was like the girl he liked. Not only the appearance, but also the charming and innocent temperament when I saw Mrs. Xiang for the first time. It's a pity that the current Mrs. Xiang is a different person from when he first met.

After hearing this, Meng Nian didn't speak again.

Yuchen was not surprised when he heard the news that Taohua was beaten, and said: "My lord hates being disturbed when he is dealing with business." Taohua hit the gunpoint.

Nanny Gui thought for a while and said, "Madam, should we go and see Mrs. Xiang?"

Yuchen shook his head and said: "No. We are not close on weekdays, and now that she is pregnant, she should rest. I won't bother you." If it was still when she became the queen, if the concubine below made a mistake, would she be Must visit. But now the affairs of the inner courtyard are not under her control, and she can't find a reason if she doesn't go there.

Nanny Gui didn't persuade Yuchen to visit, and said, "I've inquired, Mrs. Xiang's fetal gas was caused by eating stewed bird's nest porridge with rock sugar, but I don't know who did it?"

Yuchen said indifferently: "The left and right are just those few people." There are a total of seven famous women in the backyard, and apart from her, the other five are all suspects.

Nanny Gui said: "I hope the lord can find out who is behind the scenes." With Yan Wushuang's temperament, once the perpetrator is found out, he will definitely not be lenient. There is only one prince, and there are so many women in the backyard, so naturally there is one less.

Yuchen said: "It depends on what the prince wants." If Yan Wushuang wanted to investigate thoroughly, he would definitely be able to find out. If you don't want to, this matter can be perfunctory.

Shi Xiang came in and said to Yuchen, "Your Majesty, the old lady handed over a post saying that she wants to see Your Majesty." The old lady that Shi Xiang said was referring to the Wen family.

Yuchen had a flash of disgust, and said, "No see." Although Yuchen provided a house for Wen and the others to live in, he didn't care about their daily use. Anyway, Yuchen is a married woman, so it makes no sense to still support her natal family. The others are fine, even if they have thoughts in their hearts, they dare not look for Yuchen. But relying on his status, Wen came to the palace to look for Yuchen.

At the beginning, Yuchen met her out of affection. But when Wen saw Yuchen, she cried, crying that her life was difficult, and crying that Han Jiancheng and Han Jianjun were unfilial, regardless of her elders. Yuchen got bored after hearing it twice, and didn't want to see her anymore. But Yuchen is a good-looking person, every time Wenshi comes to the door, Yuchen will ask someone to give her something, so that Wenshi won't cry outside and make her look bad. It was also Yuchen's approach that Wen would come to the palace to cry every now and then.

Nanny Gui said, "Your Majesty, don't send anything to Wen Shi anymore. This woman has no face and no skin. If you give her something, she will suck you up like a vampire from now on."

Yuchen also knew this truth, but she didn't want the third wife of the Han family to become a laughing stock and a talking point in the capital.

Nanny Gui thought for a while and told the truth: "Madam, it's not appropriate to say something, the third bedroom of the Han family has long been a talking point in the capital." The third bedroom of the Han family has two daughters, Yuchen and Yuxi, so it is impossible not to be talked about.

Seeing that Yuchen didn't say a word, Nanny Gui said, "It's not that Wen's really has no money, she just doesn't want to use her own money and wants to scrape money from the empress." Wen's marriage to the Han family has made a lot of money Money, I also got a lot of money when we separated. Wen's money is enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Obviously, Nanny Gui ignored the situation outside. Because there is a war in the south of the Yangtze River, the prices of things in the capital have increased again. Not to mention other things, the price of fine rice noodles has increased by five times.

Yuchen said: "I know what you said. But when she really talks nonsense outside regardless of face, I will lose face too!" Yuchen doesn't want to lose face, that's the most important thing.

Nanny Gui said: "Mother, you are a married woman, even if Wen's say something outside regardless of face, it will not implicate you."

Yuchen thought for a while, and said to Nanny Gui: "Mommy, you can send her back!" Yuchen asked Nanny Gui to send Wen Shi off, not simply sending her out.

Nanny Gui understood the meaning of Yuchen's words, nodded and said, "I'm going now, old slave." This time I went out this time to warn Wen Shi and let her stay at home peacefully. If you dare to talk nonsense outside to affect your master's reputation, don't blame her for being rude.

Wen's is a bully and fearful person. Seeing Nanny Gui's threatening words, although she was furious to death, she really didn't dare to do anything. Offending Yuchen, it's a trivial matter not to take advantage of it, and he will have no backing in the future.

Yan Wushuang was busy until noon before finishing the work at hand. When I got back to the backyard, I heard bad news that the child was not kept.

Doctor Le knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, I have tried my best." Mrs. Xiang put red flowers in the bird's nest, and there was a lot of it. The most important thing was that Mrs. Xiang ate the whole bowl of bird's nest. In this case, even if Hua Tuo was alive, he would not be able to keep the child.

Yan Wushuang heard Imperial Physician Le's explanation, and did not blame Imperial Physician Le, but said, "Go down!"

Physician Le hesitated when he stood up, but still said to Yan Wushuang: "My lord, Mrs. Xiang has been injured at the root this time, and it will be difficult to conceive again in the future."

Yan Wushuang didn't feel much about this matter. It didn't matter whether Mrs. Xiang could have children, anyway, he had enough sons.

Mrs. Xiang drank the medicine, which contained soothing herbs, so Mrs. Xiang fell asleep now. Seeing Mrs. Xiang's pale face, Yan Wushuang's eyes darkened. Before walking out of the house, he said to the servant girl, "Take care of Madam."

The servant girl knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, my lord."

After leaving the courtyard, Yan Wushuang summoned Butler Cao to ask, "Who planted the red flowers in the bird's nest?" It took so long for the butler to find out who was behind the scenes.

Housekeeper Cao knelt on the ground and said, "It's Mrs. Yu." In order to distinguish Mrs. Dayu from Mrs. Xiao Yu, everyone called Mrs. Dayu Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Xiao Yu as Mrs. Xiaoyu.

Yan Wushuang said gloomyly: "Bring her here." Even if he doesn't value that child anymore, it is still his flesh and blood. The Dayu clan dared to attack his bloodline, he would never let him off lightly.

The evidence is conclusive, and Dayu's cry of injustice is useless. Yan Wushuang said: "If you have any wish, please tell me!"

Dayu was terrified when she heard this, and looked up to see Yan Wushuang's expressionless face. She trembled all over, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, my concubine will never dare again, my lord, please forgive me..."

Yan Wushuang said: "Murting your son is a heinous crime. This king will never spare you." If Dayu family is spared this time, others will have to follow suit. At that time, not to mention the unborn, even the few children now may not be able to live to adulthood.

When Dayu heard this, she knew that she had no chance of surviving: "My lord, I beg my lord to hand over Ren'er to my younger sister to raise her." She was worried about leaving it to other women.

Yan Wushuang hummed and said: "When you leave, I will send Heng Ren to Xiao Yu's." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Not long after, Housekeeper Cao brought three things. A cup of poisoned wine, a sharp dagger, and a white silk, these three things are optional for Dayu himself. Dayu's last choice was poisoned wine.

When Yuchen heard the news, there was no joy on his face, but a heavy sigh. Dayu's harming Mrs. Xiang's child was a big mistake, but the husband and wife have been kind for a day, how could he do this!

Seeing that Yuchen's expression was not right, Nanny Gui hurriedly asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" The Dayu clan had stabbed their masters a lot before, and she was too late to be happy when such a person died, so why would she feel sad. However, what happened to the Dayu family made Nanny Gui very happy. Fortunately, after listening to Yuchen's words, Madam Xiang was not attacked, otherwise not only would she die this time, but Yuchen would also be implicated.

Yuchen shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's windy, let's go inside!" It felt a little cold outside. (to be continued)
