Chapter 576: Warmth

"What a false alarm. It turns out that the plague was fake. Now I can finally live a stable life. Read"

"His Royal Highness the King of Yan is really powerful. He actually knows the secret method of controlling smallpox. Otherwise, if smallpox really spreads in Yanzhou, the consequences will be disastrous."

"What's even more rare is that His Highness the King of Yan rebelled against Beidi's army and was severely defeated by our soldiers. He even lost the Ning Jin Dusi."

"It's really amazing. It's a blessing for us that King Yan can take charge of Yanzhou. I'm afraid these good days are still to come."

"..."

In a tea shop in Jinlinchi, three or five businessmen were drinking tea, holding newspapers, and chatting away.

The other scholars who had not bought newspapers listened attentively, and the atmosphere was lively.

Although yesterday there were cavalrymen shouting that Ningjin was victorious.

But they only know that there is such a thing, but they don’t understand the cause and effect.

As soon as it was published in the newspaper, they immediately understood that Beidi had been set up since the Yanzhou Daily published the plague in Yanzhou.

Knowing this, they couldn't help but admire King Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

I deeply feel the long-term plan of King Yan.

If it were them, they would not dare to risk the setback of business and mobilize officials from the seven counties of Yanzhou to stage this scene.

"Brother, can I borrow the newspaper for a look?" A slightly trembling voice suddenly sounded outside the tea shop.

The merchant turned around and saw an old man and a girl standing in front of the tea shop, pushing a wheelbarrow.

"Just take it." The merchant is a local merchant in Yanzhou.

Ningjin's great victory made him extremely proud at this moment, and he wanted to climb on the roof to tell the world the news.

Naturally, he would not refuse the old man's request. He stood up and handed over the newspaper.

The old man is Yang Feng.

After arriving in Yancheng, he was already disheartened.

I just sell some tofu every day to make a living, and I live the rest of my life in Yancheng.

It's just that after leading troops and fighting for so many years, he stopped caring about worldly affairs.

Therefore, after rumors of the plague spread across Yanzhou, he became anxious and worried about the King of Yan.

After all, the current court is like that under the control of powerful clans.

If King Yan also collapses due to the plague, Dasong will really be hopeless.

But he is a martial artist and knows nothing about medicine, so he can only worry.

It wasn't until yesterday that the people in Yancheng spread word of mouth about Ning Jin's great victory that his depressed mood dissipated.

Today, he passed by a tea shop and saw merchants holding newspapers talking about the Battle of Ningjin, so he couldn't help but stop.

After taking the newspaper, Yang Feng immediately fell into it.

First it was Beidi's poisoning plan, then King Yan's method of cracking it, and finally the process of Ningjin's war.

Reading all the way, he hesitated to experience this thrilling war and couldn't help but screamed.

"This great victory caused Beidi and Xiliang soldiers and horses to suffer nearly 400,000 casualties. Beidi retreated northward in panic. The last Northern Expedition, coupled with the heavy losses this time, it will take a while for Beidi to recover, and the northern border is stable." Yang Feng's He couldn't help but straighten his waist and stroke his beard lightly.

At this moment, he was no longer the old man selling tofu, but became the former Duke of Songyi.

He continued to look down, and suddenly his body trembled.

In the introduction to the Battle of Ningjin, Qinshan occupied Ningcheng, and there was a paragraph about Yang Zhen's capture of Jincheng.

"Yang Zhen..." Yang Feng suddenly felt a twinge of pain in his heart and sighed: "It is a comfort to have a general with the same name as you to capture Jincheng."

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Yang Susu couldn't help but asked when she saw the cheerful Yang Feng suddenly turned gloomy.

"No, it's nothing." Yang Feng returned the newspaper to the merchant and pushed the wheelbarrow away.

After the two left, a businessman wondered: "I didn't expect that Yanzhou is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and a tofu seller can also read."

"As soon as I heard this, I knew that you had just arrived in Yancheng. This old man's granddaughter is a famous tofu beauty in Yancheng." A local businessman in the tea shop said calmly.

"Tsk tsk, she is indeed beautiful." said the businessman from another state. "With such a beauty, I'm afraid there will be many scheming disciples with evil intentions, right?"

The Honshu businessman chuckled, "There were at first, but then everyone who teased her had their arms or legs broken. After that, no one had the courage. Everyone said they had a lot of background."

When the merchants from other states heard this, they immediately extinguished an idea in their minds.

At the same time, the restaurants, the Golden Scale Pond, and the streets were full of businessmen and scholars talking enthusiastically.

They all smiled and looked proud.

The sparkle in his eyes seemed to seep out.

…

Tianxiang Tower.

At this moment, Nian Yuyan and Xu E are also reading the newspaper they just got.

After reading the entire article, the two looked at each other and suddenly both chuckled.

"I didn't expect that this time we, Tianxiang Tower, were deceived as well." Nian Yuyan shook her head helplessly.

Smallpox was nothing else. Even their Tianxiang Tower did not dare to get too close to a village infected with the plague.

Most of the time I just watch from a distance.

The most important thing is that she really can't understand how King Yan turned the people into pustules.

"It can only be said that King Yan's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. Now he may know exactly what our Tianxiang Tower is doing." Xu E said.

After a pause, a hint of worry appeared on her face, "So if the master wants to take advantage of King Yan, I'm afraid it will be just wishful thinking in the end. King Yan will not be led by Tianxianglou."

Nian Yuyan frowned, remembering something, and she said worriedly: "The plague in Yanzhou made the princess stop her plan to provoke King Yan to fight with the powerful clans. This time King Yan defeated Beidi, I'm afraid she will take advantage of it." Stirring up the storm.”

After saying that, she and Xu E looked at each other and sighed softly at the same time.

At that time, if the King of Yan collapsed due to the plague, he would have no use to the princess.

Now that the King of Yan is safe and sound and has won a great victory, she will never miss this opportunity.

"Actually, there is no need to worry. After learning about the Dou family, the King of Yan has already noticed it and is a little wary of you and me." Nian Yuyan smiled bitterly.

In her opinion, the King of Yan is a very smart and cautious person.

Unless they betray Tianxianglou, they will never win the trust of the King of Yan.

Suddenly thinking of something, she suddenly said: "By the way, you should immediately send the information just sent to the palace. The tail of the poisonous snake Beidi has just been cut off, and I didn't expect another evil wolf to come."

In the early morning, a piece of information sent from Qingcheng, Qizhou, made her feel worried.

The content of this piece of information is about Japan.

The King of Yan saved her life, and according to her promise, she now needs to provide information to the King of Yan.

Especially the information that is not easy to get under the King of Yan's command.

After all, sometimes, it is easier for women in brothels to obtain information.

Nodding gently, Xu E wanted to go to the palace in person.

But after thinking about it, she decided not to.

As Nian Yuyan said, the King of Yan would only be polite to them on the surface, and would not have sincere friendship.

Why bother to make yourself upset.

After leaving the room, she took out a letter and gave it to Xiaohuan, asking her to go to the palace.

"Put your heart in your stomach, it's not poisonous."

When he arrived at the palace, Xu Lie checked the letter several times. Xiaohuan couldn't help rolling her eyes and turned away.

Xu Lie scratched his head, licked the envelope with his tongue, waited for a while, and then sent the letter to the study.
