Chapter 622 What a pity?
Shen Shuyi's throat tightened, and when he met Shen Shuhan's eyes, he was speechless for a long time.
"elder brother……"
She spoke softly, and suddenly realized that her brother, like her, also had his own persistence.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to offend Xiao Heyu in order to save Liang Wanjun.
And now, even if he died, he would still go there without hesitation.
Shen Shuhan smiled and said in a gentle voice: "You don't want your brother to be trapped in the backyard and controlled by his body all his life."
Shen Shuyi's eyes were slightly wet and he sighed softly.
"Okay, I won't stop you, but you must take good care of yourself. This trip is dangerous and like entering a tiger's den. You and grandpa must come back safely."
"Of course, if Xiao Heyu doesn't die, why would I die first?" Shen Shuhan's voice was very soft and his eyes were firm.
Shen Shuyi stared at his profile in a daze. The little boy with a chubby face who pretended to be serious in his memory has now grown tall and is calm and determined.
Even though she had thousands of worries, she felt that it was great this way.
Shen Shuyi walked slowly back to Yunshu Garden with a lantern. The cold night air made her more sober and calm.
After returning to the courtyard, she first wrote a letter to her grandfather.
When Qin Xin delivered the letter to Zhao Qi, Mr. Zhao, Marquis of Qingyuan, was also awake.
The candle in Mr. Zhao's study was still lit, and the map of Daqian's territory was also spread out on the quaint long table.
Zhao Dechuan and Zhao Dehai were also standing on both sides, and the three of them, father and son, had solemn expressions.
Half an hour ago, news of Luo State's invasion came, and Emperor Qianwu urgently summoned several important ministers to the palace, presumably because he had to come up with a plan for tomorrow's morning court session.
Currently, the Xuan Ce Army is led by Lu Zhuo and can still hold out for some time. If it were according to previous rules, Your Majesty would immediately send Lu Xiao to Yancheng to guard the area.
But now that the Lu family is deeply involved in the official silver case, Emperor Qianwu will never let them go.
After all, once he was released, it would mean that Daqian would have no one available, and he would not be able to give an explanation to the court officials and the people.
Such a big fuss to arrest and capture all the ministers became a joke.
"Dad, I wonder if His Majesty will send you this time!" Zhao Dechuan said in a deep voice.
Old Master Zhao is much older than Shen Shuyi and is more aware of the situation of Daqian's military generals. He knows very well that although there are not many generals to choose from at the moment, there is still room for improvement.
Right now, I don’t know what the emperor’s will is.
"No matter who we send, defeating Luo State and defending the territory of Daqian is the top priority." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice.
Zhao Dechuan nodded: "My son thinks so too, he is just afraid..."
He didn't finish the rest of his words. After all, others didn't know that the Lu family was colluding with the Luo State, but Shen Shuyi had revealed the news to them.
Moreover, Zhao Dehai had been engaged in business for many years, so he naturally had some understanding of the movements of Lu He, the imperial merchant.
"Let's wait and see tomorrow morning."
Old Master Zhao stood up and looked at the spear hanging on the side of the study. The red tassel on it had become somewhat dim, but the spear head was still shining coldly in the dark night.
"Old Marquis, this is a letter from my cousin." Mr. Zhao's confidant reported from outside.
"Quick, please come in!"
Soon, Qin Xin handed the letter to Mr. Zhao, who looked at it with a sharp gaze.
"Go tell Yiyatou, yes."
Qin Xin nodded, turned and left.
"Dad, what did Yi say?"
Mr. Zhao burned the letter. "She asked me if I was willing to go to Yancheng and fight against Luoguo. How confident was I?"
"Ah, it's a pity that Yi girl was born a girl." Zhao Dechuan couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity! There is no distinction between male and female heroes in this world!"
"My father is right." Zhao Dechuan responded with shame.
Mr. Zhao said slowly: "Yi girl said that if I am willing to go, Han brother is willing to go with me secretly."
Hearing this, Zhao Dehai couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Han is a Purple Star sent from heaven, he is resourceful and resourceful. If he can help, father's chances of winning will be much greater."
"It all depends on your Majesty's opinion." Zhao Qi said nothing more.
This move is also a test for the Zhao family!
After receiving a positive reply from his grandfather, Shen Shuyi immediately wrote another letter to Xie Jingchi.
Although Xie Jingchi had a plan, he still had to let him know the attitude of the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion before he could make other plans.
*
The next day, early in the morning.
Another letter was thrown into the carriage of Master Wang.
There were only two words written on the letter: "Mingde".
"Quick, keep an eye on that person!" Upon seeing these two words, Wang Taifu's eyes immediately lit up.
The exposure of the Jiangnan flood case just confirms the views mentioned by this person in "On Flood Control".
Before this, everyone talked about water management from the perspective of water control, but this person was the only one who had a sharp vision and hit the nail on the head.
The key to water control lies in controlling people.
Since the last "On Water Control", Your Majesty has been looking for this person, but unfortunately, this person appeared out of nowhere and there has been no news since then.
Tutor Wang opened the letter and read it carefully while sitting in the carriage.
On the other side, Duke Cheng’s Mansion.
Xiao Tingshan stayed at Lou Yulan's place and slept soundly for a whole day and night. Because of the beating with the board, his already weak body had a high fever.
Lou Yulan felt so distressed that she took care of him without taking off her clothes.
It was not until last night when Wenren Zong sent the news that Xiao Tingshan's eyes lit up. No matter how Lou Yulan tried to dissuade him, he insisted on getting up.
He dragged his injured body and spent almost an entire night writing many ideas and countermeasures in the memorial.
The invasion by Luo State this time might be the work of Lu family.
But now, Xiao Heyu no longer values him, so this is an opportunity.
If he can help the Lu family break the impasse, he can at least return to Xiao Heyu's sight.
Wenren Zong asked: "Do you think the Third Prince's party will not fall?"
Xiao Tingshan coughed a few times and said, "Well, Xie Jingchi is indeed powerful, and Shen Shuyi is also secretly fanning the flames, but the Lu family is deep-rooted, Xiao Heyu has a father-son relationship with Your Majesty, and Concubine Rou has been with Your Majesty for many years. How could it be so easy for them to fall."
"This time I plan to recommend Lord Zhao from the Qingyuan Marquisate to go. When Lord Zhao is defeated at the front by the Luo Kingdom, His Majesty will be furious, and at the same time, General Lu Xiao's crisis will be resolved."
After saying this, Xiao Tingshan spat out another mouthful of blood...
Looking at the blood on the handkerchief, he couldn't help but think of Liancheng again. Then, Shen Shuyi's face appeared in front of him again.
It would be great if this girl could be used by her.
Yesterday he was so sick that he was unconscious and had another dream. In the dream, he successfully proposed to Shen Shuyi. With her help, he was unstoppable and in the end, somehow... he was promoted to the crown prince!
Xiao Tingshan shook his head, thinking that he might be possessed by a demon.
"In addition, I have also listed several strategies to deal with the enemy. I believe that after reading them, Your Majesty will change your opinion of me." Xiao Tingshan's eyes were full of hope.
Although he wanted to help the Lu family out of trouble and return to the sight of Xiao Heyu and Lu Xiao, he also understood that His Majesty is still Emperor Qianwu.
He also has to change Emperor Qianwu's impression of him!
When he thought of this, Xiao Tingshan thought of the Huang Ying family who had brought him to this point, and felt even more depressed. He failed to gain anything but ended up losing the rice. Not only did he not get any help from Mr. Liancheng, but he also incurred the disgust of His Majesty.
What a loss!
