My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Chapter 121 Hidden Soldiers in the Vast Mountains

She read all the letters sent by Erzhi. Most of them were news from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, and there was also a letter from Mr. Chengnan.

There are a lot of news about Yong'an Marquis, most of which are about what Prince He did today and what he will do tomorrow.

Su Muxi's thoughts were a little confused. She had been busy with the affairs of Feng Kingdom and thought that Xiao Yunjin had arranged a fake person in the Marquis' Mansion, who was escaping just like her.

But from the description in the letter, Erzhi didn't find anything wrong with Prince He. He even went to the palace to pay his respects every day in a high-profile manner, which coincided with the time Xiao Yunjin spent in Feng Country. This means that the person in the capital is most likely He Yuncheng.

He Yuncheng appeared earlier than expected. Su Muxi thought for a long time and picked up the pen to write back. Xiao Yunjin said he was going back to Beijing, but who knew what he was going to do?

Although she left ahead that day, she also left someone to follow Xiao Yunjin. However, less than two hours later, the person was sent back by Cang Jue, who also passed a message to her, "Madam, if you want to know my whereabouts, I am very happy. I will definitely send a pigeon to express my feelings in the future."

There was also news from Prince Jin's Mansion that Jiang Wanning's pregnancy was unstable and she was about to give birth.

Mr. Chengnan's letter only had five words on it: Heart-Eroding Gu, Chi Lie, and there was no solution.

It turned out that Xiao Yunjin was poisoned by a Gu. No wonder the wound on his chest could never heal. I guess it was to relieve the pain caused by the heart-eating Gu.

Su Muxi finished writing the letter, called the soldier guarding the tent outside the door in, and told him to pass the letter out.

After days of running around, Su Muxi was exhausted, especially her waist, which was sore. Su Muxi lay on the couch, thinking that Yingge should have met Jinling by now.

Yingge did meet Jinling, and faster than Su Muxi expected. She told him about the assassination of the king, the eldest prince's succession to the throne, and the imperial concubine forcing the emperor to abdicate with the imperial edict. As for the third prince leaving the palace to get help, according to Su Muxi's explanation, she only said that she met the third prince by chance when she was leaving the city with the jade pendant.

Jinling was shocked after hearing this. He was not sure about this matter. After all, no news had been sent from the palace or the Duo family. He relaxed his expression and asked why Master Yingge did not come.

Yingge cried out, "Master, he's dead. Qiwu captured him and brought him to his house, where he killed him. Duo Ling'er is also dead."

Yingge cried sadly, "Qiwu and General Duo went to the king to seek justice for the murder of their son. The guards took the opportunity to enter the mansion, but they could only collect the master's body. The jade pendant was on the master, so I took the opportunity to leave the city."

Jinling was annoyed by her crying, so he asked the guards around him to settle her down, and then he kicked the jade pendant towards the tent of Prince Jingnan.

On the one hand, he felt that Zhao Siyu was very smart and should not have died, but on the other hand, he felt that she seemed to be really dead, which made him feel very upset. But now these were not the key points. The key point was the current situation. According to Yingge, both the Jingnan Palace and the Duo Palace should have been under control.

Prince Jingnan was still looking at the sand table. After listening to Jinling's words, he stood up from his chair and asked, "Is the news accurate?"

"No matter whether it is accurate or not, we must be prepared for both situations." Jin Ling had thought about the matter on the way here. "This matter cannot be false. I have sent secret guards to the capital to confirm the accuracy of the news."

"Internal and external troubles, father, what should we do now that the news is confirmed?"

The father and son discussed in the tent for an entire afternoon. In the evening, a pair of surprise soldiers emerged from the camp quietly.

Su Muxi didn't expect that this surprise attack was caused by her. It was almost dawn. After the battle just now, except for the soldiers on night watch, everyone went to rest. The camp was silent. Su Muxi lay on the bed, unable to sleep, staring at the charcoal in the brazier in a daze.

He Yuncheng showed up ahead of time, so would the events that would happen six years later also happen ahead of time? What exactly was Xiao Yunjin's plan? Now that his Feng Kingdom's arrangement has been broken, where would he go next?

The situation in the northwest is also very tense. The more cities there are, the harder it is to defend and the easier it is for them to be conquered one by one. She put a tight ring on Jinling. If Jinling wants everything to go his way, he must gather troops and fight back. He only has one chance. If he succeeds and returns victorious, he will have a chance to become the leader of a country.

If we lose, we can only surrender and stabilize the internal and external situation first.

There is only one chance, so Su Muxi naturally cannot let them come smoothly. Yingge is going to give them a big gift, and she will always have opportunities to take advantage of the hasty siege.

Once this war is won, the four cities will be enough for the emperor to negotiate with the Feng Kingdom.

At dawn, Su Muxi had hardly slept all night, because she finally found the information on the pottery bottle. The pottery bottle was painted with the Cangliang Mountains, and Xiao Yunjin hid his troops there. How could she have forgotten this? She must have arranged for someone in Tao County to discover the hidden troops and told her in this way.

Hanshui City is the closest city to the Cangmang Mountains. Her father must have discovered something wrong and led his troops there. Su Muxi was a little anxious. She was afraid that Xiao Yunjin had another trick up his sleeve. If an agreement had been reached and the hidden troops in the Cangmang Mountains were sent to help the Feng Kingdom, then Su Muxi's chances of winning would be almost zero. She might even suffer casualties due to the dispersion of her forces.

Su Muxi had just asked Su Yi to take a message to her father, and now she had to hurry back. Not far out of the camp, she heard someone calling her. She turned her head and saw that it was her second brother.

Su Mu was riding fast. He knew Su Muxi was coming when he heard the messenger's words last night. He made arrangements early this morning and rushed over. "Little sister, little sister."

Su Muxi asked the horse to stop and wait for Su Muchao. The reason why she asked Lieutenant General Kuang to contact her second brother yesterday was, firstly, because Lieutenant General Lin and her third brother were on both sides of him. Secondly, because her second brother would definitely come over when he knew she was coming.

"Second brother."

"Where are you going? Why are you alone?" Su Muzhao's expression changed from joy to anger, "Why did someone make you angry?"

Su Muxi smiled, "What are you talking about? I have to go find my father again."

"What happened?"

If there was nothing certain, she would not tell Su Muchao, "Father is leading the troops there personally, and there is no one in charge of the main tent, so I will go to replace him."

"That's fine. We brothers and sisters can fight side by side again."

"Yes," Su Muxi's eyes were slightly sour because of this sentence, "Second brother, I asked Ah Er to take people to Yucheng. You pick some good people to send over. Our army is too scattered. I'm afraid something will happen to mother and the others."

Looking at his little sister's red eyes, Su Muzhao was stunned, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of mother and sister-in-law."

Su Muzhao knew about his younger sister's plan and cooperated with her whole heart. However, the whole family cooperated with him, even his father who had been in charge for many years came out of retirement. One can imagine the pressure on his younger sister.

The younger sister has become much more radical and thoughtful since she got married. He doesn't know why, and the third brother and his father don't tell him.

"Second brother, you should go back quickly. If the general leaves the camp without permission and our father finds out, he will be punished with a military stick."

"Then please don't tell father."
