Chapter Ninety-Five: The City Is Full of Enemies


The Purple Golden Palace has a Yang Ling Zhai, can overlook the whole city, the top floor of the library pavilion, there is a stone carving dragon spit water outside the Zhai Building, the sweet potato aunt has five begonia trees planted by hand, Xu Fengnian has moved from the Qinghan Yuan to the Zhai Book Pavilion these days, often standing at the window, a stop is an hour, sweet potatoes in the Wutong Garden can only be in that one acre and three points of land to swim in the water, such as koi swimming in the water, in Dunhuang City it is categorically not good, now seventy or eighty thousand people have to look up to its snort, she is like a young empress who is ruling with a curtain, although there are a group of capable female officials in the Zijin Palace to help deal with political affairs, But the forces of Dunhuang City are entangled, there are thousands of things, a mess, all want her to make a final decision, fortunately, Xu Fengnian does not let her stick to her side, there is no impermeable wall in the world, even if this wall is the wall of the Son of Heaven's house, it can not be concealed, from time to time Xu Fengnian, who is hidden in the palace, perceives an undercurrent surging, the tentacles spread outward, and then feed back to the palace, Xu Fengnian does not know if this is the normal state of the Giant Immortal Palace and Dunhuang City, once asked sweet potatoes, she said that Dunhuang City is in the hands of her aunt, and she has always been unable to control people and mouths, At the beginning, the demon Luoyang was outside the city, Dunhuang City was a plate of scattered sand, and the forces that were favored by her aunt watched her go out of the city alone, and returned with heavy injuries, Luoyang left, and then did something icing on the cake, as for those ordinary people, most of them are regarded as a matter of course, you are the lord of Dunhuang City, you don't go out of the horse, you die is nothing more than a change of master, if the city is broken, Luoyang no matter how indiscriminately kills innocents, seventy or eighty thousand people, it is unlikely to kill us is not a change of master, the most unfortunate is just everyone to suffer together, It's better than being strong enough to slaughter the devil right now.

Xu Fengnian laughed when he heard this answer.

Sweet potato asked at that time: "If the 300,000 iron cavalry of Beiliang fails to defend the gate of the Northwest Country one day, and the millions of people in Beiliang Road are captured together, and even take refuge in Beimang, and deal with the Beiliang army in turn, will the son be cold?"

Xu Fengnian asked rhetorically: "If you are me, what should I do?"

Sweet potato wiped his lips with his fingers, and said with a smile: "If the slave maid is such a hereditary repudiation of the king of Beiliang like the prince, there is really such a thing, it's good not to be seen by me, see one, kill one." ” Xu Fengnian sighed: "You came to be the lord of Dunhuang City, it is still a bit overkill. ” Gentle Township is a hero's mound after all, sweet potatoes talk about going north to the territory of Jinxi Prefecture for five hundred miles, which is the site of the Wu family's nine swords breaking ten thousand horses, Xu Fengnian had the idea of leaving the city, that night on the dragon chair in the main hall of the Juxian Palace, she was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, and posing as a king in the world.

In the twilight of spring, a night of absurdity, fortunately Dunhuang City did not say a morning dynasty, before dawn, they returned to Qinghan Courtyard together, the two took a mandarin duck bath, Xu Fengnian wore back to the black mountain white background scribe dress under her service, carried the bookcase on his back, and the sweet potato went around twice, checking and filling in the gaps, just seeking perfection, it was really impossible to find fault, she said with a regretful face: "The son is dressed like a reader with poetry and books in his belly, it looks good, but the purple python clothes are even better." ” Xu Fengnian patted the Spring and Autumn Sword and said softly, "Don't give it away." ” Sweet potato shook his head and said, "Send it outside the Wish Gate." ” When he came to the door of the Dizang Wish, the sweet potato said that it would be sent ten miles away, Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "According to your delivery method, go back to Beiliang directly." ” The sweet potato took care of Xu Fengnian carefully, and asked: "I really don't want that nightlight jade lion, even if you are afraid of piercing your eyes, you can just get a good horse to ride, if you are impatient, throw it away." ” Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "I don't know who takes care of whom, but it's still easy to walk."

Feelings are coming, and I am reluctant to say that I will lose them. ” Sweet potato said softly: "Childe is good." ” Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "You also go back to Beiliang as soon as possible, I still say the same thing, I don't care how important Dunhuang City is in the layout of Beiliang, I want you to live well." ” Sweet potato lowered his eyebrows and said, "The slave knows." ” Xu Fengnian thought for a while and continued: "Little eunuch Tong Guan, you will watch coldly for two or three years, and then send it to Yanglingzhai, this child's literacy and reading and martial arts foundation will require you to put more effort into it, saying that it is free-range, completely ignoring fate, that will not work." ” Sweet potato said with a smile: "Gongzi put a hundred hearts, he will definitely surprise Dunhuang City after his winter life, and there are really a few secret books suitable for him to practice in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, count him lucky." ” Xu Fengnian snorted and said in a low voice: "I hope that there will be one more hard-working person in the world." ” "Gone."

Xu Fengnian turned his back to the sweet potato with the big sleeves of the brocade robe like a hibiscus and waved his hand.

Sweet potato seems to want to catch up, a foot out of the ground has not stepped on the ground to retract, stay for a long time, when the morning bell in the palace rings, then walk through the wish door, walk to the Yeting Palace, stand on the pile of spring mountain and look into the distance, Dunhuang City in her aunt's hands according to the routine of the fifteenth dynasty, this kind of court will be small in scale, that is, the city is eligible to get a piece of the pie of all parties gathered together to divide the interests, the aunt has always wanted to twist into a rope, but until death did not achieve, sweet potatoes do not have the luxury of hating the same enemy, but it seems that even the surface of harmony has become a luxury.

She squinted her eyes, revealing a completely different cold atmosphere from Xu Fengnian, the clown should surface, in fact, as soon as her aunt died, they began to make noise, especially after determining that the demon Luoyang was too lazy to meddle in Dunhuang City, these old foxes who pretended to be self-proclaimed veterans were going to take her as a weak fox to open the knife, and the crazy rumors in the city were now circulating in the city about stealing power, wasn't it the bait and sweet potatoes that were scattered on their house and slowly walked down the pile of spring mountains, although she was a first-class maid in the Beiliang Palace, but every year there would be two or three months in Dunhuang City, Watching her aunt handle political affairs with her own eyes, those forces who watched her grow up only knew that she was the niece of the "second king" as the next city lord to cultivate, but they didn't know that she was a brocade musk deer.

Walking down the mountain and passing by a flower garden, I accidentally met Dongshou, who got up early to do work for the old eunuch master, standing outside the flower garden, and the sweet potato stood quietly.

The little eunuch saw her from afar, and had a vague impression, and regarded her as a female official in the palace who had an affair with her benefactor, and smiled shyly, shy and sincere.

Thinking carefully, Lord Mason, it is really a good eye, this sister looks like the Dunhuang Flying Immortal on the mural.

Sweet potato said softly: "Your name is Dongshou" The little eunuch hurriedly put down the bronze kettle in his hand, and knelt down to ask for peace with his eyebrows and eyes, "Dongshou has seen the female official. ” Sweet potato smiled: "Get up, kneel for a long time, and your clothes will be washed again."

It is rainy in late spring, and it will have to be a game in these two days, in case the sun does not dry, and it is uncomfortable to wear. ” Dong Shou got up slowly, his eyes were clear, and he said with a bright smile: "Sister Bodhisattva, a female official, is blessed and blessed with a good fortune." ” Sweet potato smiled heartily: "Sure enough, I read it right, at a young age, he is a caring person."

Your master's phlegm is yellow and viscous, he has hemoptysis all year round, and he has tuberculosis. ” Dongshou cried out and kowtowed: "My sister and the stonemason are both living bodhisattvas, and Dongshou will never dare to forget your great kindness in this life."

Sweet potato said coldly: "Crying and kneeling more, entering the temple to burn incense, and kowtowing to the Buddha is a good habit in the palace." ” When the little eunuch raised his head, there was no trace of the fairy sister.

Sweet potato walked out of the Yeting Palace, and there was a Yulong Road with a line in the middle of the two palaces to make a thunder pool, and several dead female officials who had been trained by their aunts all stood solemnly, with a look of death between their eyebrows.

Walking towards the White Elephant Gate at the south gate of the Giant Immortal Palace, a goose-faced female official said softly: "City Lord, there are five hundred Jinwu guards outside the palace, three hundred cavalry are loyal, and the remaining two hundred have been bought. ” A female official who looked tall as a burly man said calmly: "Miss, the secret agent has sent news, in addition to the vacillation of the mending platform and the reluctance to show up early, there are also the two major families of Yuwen and Duanmu, and the remaining major forces have openly gathered outside the White Elephant Gate to take the opportunity to break into the palace for a coup."

Among them, the Mao family hired nearly 100 people from the rivers and lakes, wanting to fish in troubled waters while the Jinwu guards were fighting in arms, and the five hundred Jinwu guards outside the city were about to rush through the main city gate under the leadership of Mao Rou.

Miss, I'm afraid this will make many neutrals fall to those rebellious thieves. ” A female official in a purple satin robe with a baby face frowned and said, "Palace Master, why don't you let the slave maid contact the demon Luoyang, when the city lord was alive, he said that when this day comes, he can move out of this demon head to suppress the chaotic forces."

Even if it is to reject the wolf and lead the tiger, it is better than these unfamiliar white-eyed wolves to be the new masters of Dunhuang City, after all, Luoyang is the nominal palace master of the Yeting Palace, and the name is justified, and with the status of Luoyang, I believe that the dove will not occupy the magpie's nest too much. ” Sweet potato stretched out his hand and nodded the female official's forehead, and teased: "The elbow is turned to the devil, Luoyang has not entered Dunhuang City yet, and he will pay it back in the future, but he must not sell me."

The baby-faced female official blushed, puffed out her cheeks and said, "The palace master bullies people" Along the way, more than a dozen old eunuchs with blood on their sleeves were added one after another, and the internal troubles in the palace were solved.

In front of the sweet potato, they all regard themselves as courtiers, they are all sweet potato aunts who set up a dark chess game before her death, there is no shortage of characters who originally seemed to defect to the hostile camp, once the pot is really revealed, you know that these old eunuchs are indeed more men than those Jin Wuwei riders with crotch handles, and they know how to recognize a master to be loyal, and they have counted the infighting of the dynasty where the eunuchs were in power, and the faint emperor likes to give power to the eunuchs around him, and it is not completely unreasonable to reuse these eunuchs to intrigue with the power minister or relatives.

Powerful ministers can sit on the dragon chair, relatives can criticize yellow robes, who has ever heard of eunuchs who don't even have children and grandchildren to become emperors themselves More than thirty golden-armored warriors in heavy armor also joined the team.

Sweet potato smiled, and he had a grand death.

Before he died, he always had to bring hundreds of people to the funeral.

In this way, Dunhuang City was completely clean.

When the time comes, it will be the turn of the Beiliang forces, who even she doesn't know the details, to take over.

The last time she went out of Beiliang, she listened to Li Yishan of Chaoge Pavilion and taught her face-to-face, so she calculated, every step was not bad, and she had no complaints.

After leaving Beiliang, he will never return to Beiliang.

Sweet potatoes look back to the north.

Childe let's go.

But she didn't know that the gate of Dunhuang City.

A young man with a sword who looks like a scholar, facing 500 cavalry, is a man who guards the city gate for her.
