border cook

Fengshuo's fief in the south has Yuzhou and Hengzhou, two rich state capitals. Hengzhou is near the sea and almost monopolizes the supply of official salt for half of the Xuan Dynasty. Yuzhou has always been known as the granary.

After moving to Xizhou, the imperial court cut off the salt and grain to Xizhou Daying, and the salt and grain were transported from Yuzhou and Hengzhou.

He didn't retaliate before, and the grain road would naturally not intercept the grain and grass transported to Xizhou, but now he has to pay attention to this issue.

Many ordinary people in Xizhou are still hungry, so where can they get the surplus food to supply the military camps.If the imperial court sent troops to attack Xizhou and directly cut off the grain roads, it could be said that it would be a drudgery.

The staff at the bottom murmured: "Yuzhou is located in the middle of the country. If you go south, you can reach Yuzhou and Hengzhou by waterways. If you go north, you will border Xingling, and then you will be Xizhou. If you want to keep the grain road, Yuzhou must be taken down."

"Yuzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Xing'an. The Marquis of Xing'an holds the military power. If we attack by force, we will suffer a lot."

"Since ancient times, it has been emphasized that one should be courteous before soldiers. You might as well send envoys to make peace first, and find out what the Marquis of Xing'an has to say."

A staff member spread his hands, shook his head and said, "Who is the right person to send? Marquis Xing'an is a mighty general. If he is loyal to the imperial court, the people who went there will probably not come back."

Since they want to win over the Marquis of Xing'an and send a bastard to go there, if they don't agree with each other, their heads will be beheaded, which also shows that they don't pay much attention to this alliance.

But if they sent someone with courage and strategy, they would be killed by Marquis Xing'an, which would be a big loss to them.

The aides hadn't reached a conclusion yet, when Fuxi entered the room to refill tea, he whispered to Feng Shuo, "My lord, Miss Jiang is here."

Feng Shuo squeezed his eyebrows and said: "It's good to take care of you, I guess it will take a while before I can go here."

As soon as Fuxi left the room, Chi Qing came in again.

He presented the two statements of statement to Feng Shuo: "My lord, Yuan Yi went to confirm that it was the woman who escaped last night. The woman's confession was also consistent with what Lu Linyuan said. The woman went to Xizhou a few days ago. Cheng has always lived in Lu Linyuan's house, and on the night of the murder case in Huajie, she had a quarrel with Lu Linyuan, she ran away from home in a fit of anger, went to Huajie by mistake, was belittled by others, and was rescued by the fleeing Turkic prince."

"The person who died was killed by the Turkic prince. The woman was timid. Later, when officers and soldiers searched her, she ran away because she was afraid of getting into trouble. Lu Linyuan tried her best to conceal this matter, because she was afraid of damaging the woman's reputation."

A woman from a good family was molested in Huajie and even committed a murder, which is indeed detrimental to the woman's reputation.

As soon as these words came out, the staff and generals in the room couldn't help talking about it.

Feng Shuo asked: "Can the woman's identity be verified?"

Chi Qing said: "The household registration document on her body does not seem to be fake. Her surname is Li, and she is from the capital."

When Feng Shuo heard that the woman came from the capital, and recalled that day in the carriage, when Jiang Yanyi asked her to check who came from the capital, he couldn't help feeling the same strange feeling as before.

Is this a coincidence again?

He suppressed these "doubts" for the time being, and slowly figured out the doubts he found after listening to Chi Qing's report: "Ougusdan saved her? I'm afraid Ogusdan didn't have such good intentions."

Chi Qing also had doubts about this, and he said helplessly: "Ougusdan is a tough guy. I have used all available torture instruments, but I still can't pry his mouth open. The woman surnamed Li doesn't seem to know that Ogusdan She even thought he was a girl, and she was always begging for Lu Linyuan and Ogusdan when his subordinates were interrogating her."

Feng Shuo thought about it, but didn't immediately make a decision.

If Lu Linyuan and the woman surnamed Li hadn't lied, then what happened last night might really have been just a misunderstanding. Lu Linyuan spent so much effort just to protect his beauty.The woman surnamed Li did not commit a crime, and if Lu Linyuan was investigated, at most he was just a wrongdoer who knew about it and did not report it.

Feng Shuo held the blue-and-white enamel teacup in his hand, groping for the lines on the lid of the cup with his fingers, but he didn't drink, he said: "Take that woman to the dungeon, and make sure that Ogusdan sees her being killed." Shut it in, but don't allow any communication between the two of them."

Chi Qing understood Feng Shuo's meaning, and said with a smile: "It's still the master's plan."

Now they suspect that the woman is an accomplice of Ogusdan, but both the woman and Lu Linyuan deny this, so just look at Ogusdan's attitude after seeing the woman imprisoned, and they can figure out who the woman is Not innocent anymore.

Seeing that it was already noon, Feng Shuo asked his staff and general to go down for lunch first, while he went to look for Jiang Yanyi.

***

When it snowed, the glazed tiles of Fengfu Greenhouse were covered by heavy snow, the light inside was not good, and the growth rate of peppers was not as good as before. Jiang Yanyi even found a few lush peppers, and the pepper skins turned into white shells .

She was not very good at commanding the servants of the Fengfu, so she asked the young man guarding the flower house to find a wooden ladder for herself, and then found a slender bamboo pole. The thick snow on the glazed tiles was brushed off.

The bamboo pole was a bit long, because one hand had to be spared to hold the wooden ladder, and it took a lot of effort to push the snow with one hand. After a few moves, Jiang Yanyi felt that hand was sore and painful, and it was almost useless.

She changed the other hand to use the bamboo pole to pull the snow, and was busy when she suddenly heard a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yanyi looked down and saw that it was Feng Shuo who came over, probably because he was concerned about her safety, seeing her climbing so high, Feng Shuo's expression was a little ugly.

Jiang Yanyi said: "I'm cleaning up the snow on the glazed tiles! The light is not enough, and the peppers are covered with white shells."

Feng Shuo looked up at her: "Come down, the king will send someone to clean it later."

Near the ridge of the roof, the bamboo pole was too short to be cleaned. After Jiang Yanyi handed over the bamboo pole, she was about to climb down the wooden ladder. Unexpectedly, the boy who helped her stabilize the wooden ladder had one hand free. I went to pick up the bamboo pole, but I didn't hold the wooden ladder with one hand, and the whole wooden ladder tilted sharply.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness scared Jiang Yanyi's heartbeat almost to a stop. Fortunately, she often chops big bones with a knife and flips pots and spoons with one hand. Compared with a real lady, she still has so much strength. As for falling.

Feng Shuo's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he quickly supported the wooden ladder, and Jiang Yanyi was able to stabilize his figure.

The little servant turned pale with fright, and Jiang Yanyi herself was still in shock, and when she stepped on the wooden ladder again, she felt a little more at ease.

Feng Shuo's face was particularly ugly, and he was afraid of scaring her, so he held back his temper and said, "I'm holding on to the ladder, you just go down step by step."

Jiang Yanyi nodded with lingering fear, turned around and was about to tell Feng Shuo that he was fine and not to worry too much, but because he was standing too high, he saw Jiang Yanxi who was taken away by Chi Qing across the wall.

At first she thought it was her eyesight, but when she looked closely, Jiang Yanxi seemed to sense her gaze, and looked up to this side.

The light snow was flying, and the eyes of the two met in the wind and snow. One was as beautiful as a crabapple, and the other was as pale as a daisy.

There was shock and hesitation in the eyes of both of them, but there was a touch of panic in Jiang Yanxi's eyes. She quickly looked away, and her steps became panicked.

Jiang Yanyi looked at Jiang Yanxi's back as she walked away, and after being horrified, she became thoughtful.

Seeing that she hadn't come down from the roof for a long time, Feng Shuo couldn't help but said, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Yan returned to his senses and said, "I seem to have seen an old friend."

She went down the wooden ladder to the roof, her hands were already red from the cold, Feng Shuo grabbed her hands and warmed her with his palms, without any prestige in front of his subordinates, he said with a dark face:

"You almost fell off your front foot, but you don't have a long memory on your back foot. Do you have to fall and lose your arms and legs before you know how to regret it? When you climb the ladder again in the future, not to mention seeing the old man, you will see the heavenly king Lao Tzu, Don't be distracted either."

Jiang Yanyi felt that he was training herself like a child, and there was a young man in charge of the greenhouse beside her, her face was burning badly: "I see, why are you so fierce."

Feng Shuo glared at her: "I'm not fierce, you can remember "sex" forever."

After the training, he asked about Jiang Yanyi's old friend, and asked, "Who did you see just now, and I was stunned for a long time."

Feng Shuo's words made Jiang Yanyi a little confused. Jiang Yanxi was already in his house, or Chi Qing took it personally, how could he not know?

Jiang Yanyi glanced at Feng Shuo suspiciously: "Chi Qing just brought a woman through the corridor over the wall."

As soon as she said that, Feng Shuo knew who she was talking about, and walked back slowly while holding her hand: "Isn't someone dead in Huajie? That woman is related to that murder case. Why, do you recognize her?" ?”

Jiang Yanyi said in her heart that the road to enemies is really narrow, she can have a relationship with the heroine of the original book at any noodle shop, but Feng Shuo really doesn't seem to know Jiang Yanxi's identity?

Under Feng Shuo's surprised gaze, she said with complicated emotions, "That's my concubine."

These words are tantamount to thunder on the ground.

Feng Shuo remembered the two confessions made by Chi Qingshen, and laughed angrily, suppressing anger in his sharp phoenix eyes: "It seems that Lu Linyuan is really playing me like a monkey!"

Jiang Yanyi's heart was slightly startled by his words, did this matter have something to do with Lu Linyuan?

No wonder Jiang Yan was confused, neither Lu Linyuan nor Jiang Yanxi had anything to do with Feng Shuo in the original book.

Now because of her own change, the Chu family moved to Xizhou, and because Chu Changping rushed to Xizhou before and brought news of Fan Yao's old Xizhou, Feng Shuo followed the vine. Gua caught the Turkic prince and saw through the conspiracy of Fan Yaonian and Xie Zhizhou.

Feng Shuo and Chu Changping would not take the initiative to tell her about these important military affairs, which made Jiang Yanyi's eyes dark about the current situation.Occasionally, Feng Shuo told her something, and she was like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, picking up some useful information from the sadomasochistic plot that occupies [-]% of the book.

However, in the original book, Lu Linyuan died alone for the heroine and was infatuated with him for the rest of his life. It is not surprising that he helped Jiang Yanxi hide his identity.

Feng Shuo obviously thought of this too. He checked a lot of Jiang Yanyi's past affairs, so he naturally knew about the entanglement between the three of them.

She used to love Lu Linyuan so much that she even sacrificed half her life for it.

Feng Shuo has always restrained himself from thinking about the past between her and Lu Linyuan. Now that she exposes Jiang Yanxi's identity, he doesn't know if there is some reason for Lu Linyuan in it.

But Feng Shuo could feel his heart being pulled subconsciously.

That kind of feeling that you regard as a treasure, but there is a corner of her heart that maybe misses other people is not good.

Feng Shuo wrapped Jiang Yanyi into his arms, hugged him hard, and finally asked the question that he wanted to ask countless times before, but avoided because of pride: "If I deal with Lu Linyuan, what should you do?"
