Chapter 390 The Belated Hundred Days Banquet (2)
"Wanwan, come to the study."
Shen Xiangwan was just about to chat with them when a voice suddenly came from the intercom beside him: "Okay."
After giving a simple reply, Shen Xiangwan and Yue Ruyan nodded, then stood up and left the main room.
"Wanwan is so capable. He can really help Brother Yi and the others."
Watching her figure disappear from her sight, Mu Yunran said with envy that when she was in the capital, she saw her husband was so tired every day and she wanted to help him, but she could not do anything and could only feel distressed in silence. On the other hand, Wanwan helped a lot not only at home, but also in the army and the government office. If it weren't for him, Brother Yi and the others would not have developed so smoothly.
"Don't compare yourself to her. Wanwan is more capable than many men. We can't even compare."
Looking up at her, Yue Ruyan teased the little girl and said that if she were to say who she admired the most in her life, it would have to be Wanwan. It seemed that there was nothing she couldn't do. No matter what it was, she could do it perfectly. In just over a year, even they couldn't count how many practical things she had done for the people.
"No, I'm just envious."
She does have this self-awareness, but it doesn't stop her from envying and admiring Wanwan.
Wei family, study.
"What do you want me to do?"
Shen Xiangwan walked into the study without knocking. Wei Chengyi seemed to be talking to Yuan Xiu about something important. Both of them looked serious, but when he saw her come in, a smile instantly spread across his face: "Come and sit down."
"Ah."
Walking up to him, Shen Xiangwan pulled over a chair and sat down.
"check it out."
Wei Chengyi picked up a memorial and handed it to her. Shen Xiangwan took it and opened it with confusion. When she saw the contents clearly, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. The dog emperor was actually planning to let Chu Liang go to Binzhou alone as Wanqishan's deputy general to assist him in suppressing the rebels. It seemed like a normal transfer, but in fact it was a hidden conspiracy. First of all, Chu Liang could not lead his troops there. If something happened on the way, who would they go to for justice?
Even if he arrived in Binzhou safely, he was only a deputy general and had no access to military power. Moreover, his life was probably in the hands of Wanqishan. It was too easy to kill someone on the battlefield without anyone noticing. Did the dog emperor already know about Chu Liang's relationship with them? Or did he simply want to transfer Chu Liang away and take control of the East Border Army again?
"What do you think?"
Putting down the memorial, Shen Xiangwan looked up at Wei Chengyi. She wanted to hear their thoughts.
"Send someone to kill the messenger. As long as the imperial edict to dispatch Chu Liang does not enter Yuzhou, the emperor will be unable to do anything to him."
No matter what purpose the emperor had in mobilizing Chu Liang, as long as the imperial edict could not reach Yuzhou, they could pretend not to know. The emperor is far away and the sky is high is not just a common saying.
"Well, I'll go find Lin Wei. He's been to Yuzhou several times and is more familiar with the route."
At present, this seems to be the only way. Shen Xiangwan was about to stand up, but Wei Chengyi quickly held her back. With his other hand, he picked up a memorial and a letter and handed them to her: "Take the memorial with you. The letter contains the contact information of our people in the imperial city. In order to prevent the emperor from sending people to Yuzhou, Chu Liang and the others had better keep track of his movements."
"it is good."
Shen Xiangwan did not refuse. She put away the memorial and letter and left the study. From beginning to end, she never smiled again.
"Do you think Chu Liang and his men can successfully kill the person who delivered the imperial edict?" Yuan Xiu asked with a heavy face when they were the only two left in the study. It was not that he did not trust Chu Liang, but he had never met him before and had no idea of his strength, so it was difficult for him to have much confidence in him.
"Don't underestimate Chu Liang. His ability to command troops is no worse than ours. The fact that the Eastern Border Army is almost under his control is the best proof of this."
Looking up at him, Wei Chengyi picked up another memorial.
"Ah."
Come to think of it, Yuan Xiu quickly calmed down and discussed other things with Wei Chengyi. The number of refugees pouring into Chenzhou did not decrease because the wealthy grain merchants were dealt with. Instead, their number increased. If it weren't for the bumper grain harvest this time, they would have collected a lot of taxes and would not have been able to bear such pressure.
On the other side, Shen Xiangwan went downstairs and asked someone to find Lin Wei. She didn't smile at all the time. Mu Yunran and Yue Ruyan both felt that something must have happened. They held the child and leaned over: "What's wrong? Is the sky going to fall?"
"See for yourselves."
Not wanting to waste words, Shen Xiangwan took out the letter and handed it to them.
"Hmm? The dog emperor knows that Chu Liang is in cahoots with us?"
After taking the memorial and reading the contents clearly, they both frowned. Otherwise, why would he suddenly transfer Chu Liang?
"who knows?"
Pei Ji sneered. If she didn't want the dog emperor to watch the Tianqi Kingdom fall apart and perish in his hands, she would have killed him long ago. Why would she keep him alive until now? Besides, the dog emperor's several adult princes were almost as bad as him. Killing him and replacing him with a more despicable one didn't seem to be a good thing.
"You guys are ready..."
"lady."
Just as Yue Ruyan was about to ask about their thoughts, Lin Wei came in from outside. Pei Ji didn't bother to talk to him. He took back the memorial and handed it to him along with the letter: "Go to Yuzhou right away and give the memorial and letter to my brother. Tell him to send someone to kill the messenger."
"Yes."
Seeing that her expression was unusually solemn, Lin Wei also realized the seriousness of the matter. He took the memorial and letter and put them away carefully.
"Be careful on the way, and remember to hand it over to your brother personally."
"Yes."
Shen Xiangwan gave another worried reminder, and Lin Wei bowed respectfully, then turned around and walked out.
The incident with the dog emperor was just a small episode. Shen Xiangwan soon suppressed his dissatisfaction and took out a few little yellow ducks to tease the little dumplings. Unexpectedly, the little cubs seemed to like them too. After coming back, they scrambled to play with them. Shen Xiangwan simply made an excuse to go back to the room, took out a bag directly, and gave a few to each child.
"Today is the hundred-day banquet for little Tuanzi. Thank you all for coming to celebrate for him. My husband and I will not say anything extra. Here, we wish our little Tuanzi good health and all the best to you all."
It was already mid-September, and although it still hadn't rained, the sun wasn't as scorching, and the temperature had dropped a little. So they set up the table in the yard. Before the meal began, Ji Shaohan and his wife both stood up, and after they finished speaking, they raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.
