Chapter 175 Eavesdropping
Jixiang stuck out his tongue and made a face.
"I am not ashamed. I am still waiting to hold the young master in my arms."
Su Qingqing poked Jixiang on the forehead and said, "You are getting more and more ridiculous. Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I have something else for you to do."
Su Qingqing never imagined that this maid who originally followed Princess Zhao like a little dandy would one day become her right-hand man.
When she brought her from Zhao State, she only thought that this person was from the original owner's side, and she had to give her a good home and not let her down.
Su Qingqing scooped the cooked brains into the auspicious bowl and said, "Eat more. You will become smarter after eating it."
Jixiang rolled her eyes and said, "I am already smart enough. If I were any smarter, I would be overstepping my authority."
After eating hot pot, Su Qingqing asked Jixiang to go to Wang Yu's place again.
Wang Yu trained private soldiers for the emperor, but because Su Qingqing played a trick at the time, in the eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo, Wang Yu was from the Rong'an Marquis faction.
At that time, Nanchong County was providing disaster relief. Since Nanchong County Magistrate Zhao Bingchun had clung to the thigh of Rong'an Hou, it was time for him to stretch his leg out for a walk.
It is easier to fish when the water is muddied, and only then can the monsters become excited and restless.
Su Yunhe's manor was originally taken over by Su Qingqing to raise soldiers for Wang Yu. In order to prevent the emperor from finding out, Wang Yu stayed in the West Mountain camp at night.
The camp has now entered sleep mode. Jixiang was disguised by Su Qingqing as an inconspicuous servant in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion. He entered the Xishan camp and went straight to Wang Yu's residence.
The Xishan camp was originally in the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo. Although the commander-in-chief has been replaced and the atmosphere has been rectified, there are still many people who are loyal to the Duke of Zhenguo.
Seeing a strange young man being brought into the military camp and then to Wang Yu's tent by the guards of Commander Wang Yu, a soldier on duty immediately became interested.
Seeing the two men enter the tent, he immediately made an excuse that he had a stomachache and asked his companions to stay on duty while he went to the toilet.
Groping his way forward, he finally made his way to Wang Yu's tent.
"I am here to see the general on the orders of the Marquis."
As soon as Jixiang entered the tent, he imitated the servant of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion and bowed to Wang Yu to greet him, but he blinked at Wang Yu cunningly, then raised his hand to reveal a jade bracelet on his wrist.
Wang Yu recognized the bracelet.
It was a bracelet that Jixiang, the maidservant of the Crown Princess, usually wore. After a moment's pause, Wang Yu looked up and down at the person in front of him, and understood what was going on. He glanced at the door and told his trusted guard, "You go out and guard it. "
The guard understood and went out immediately.
As soon as he walked out of the tent gate, he saw a figure flashing by. He sneered, stretched, and called a soldier on duty not far away, "Go get me a pot of wine. It's so cold, my ears are about to freeze off."
The soldier smiled and said, "Give me a treat too. It's too cold to be on duty at night."
The guard kicked him in the ass and said, "Go now, stop talking nonsense."
The soldier left with a smile, but soon returned with a pot of wine. The guard took a sip himself and gave the pot to the soldier, "Drink it, drink some to warm your body. In this weather, Kyoto is so hot that the snow water has poured back into it, and we are still freezing like grandsons."
The soldier took the wine jug and gulped down two mouthfuls. "The backflow of snow water in Kyoto is not a good thing. I heard that it was caused by evil spirits..."
As they drank and talked, they unknowingly moved a little further away from the camp gate.
The man who was eavesdropping saw Wang Yu's guards coming out to guard the place and thought he had no chance. He quickly left, but he didn't expect that he had a better opportunity. He was immediately delighted and moved closer to the tent.
In the tent.
Jixiang's voice was neither too loud nor too low, just loud enough for the eavesdroppers outside to hear, "The Marquis asked me to tell the general that the Duke of Zhenguo has been ordered to be executed, and the Duke of Zhenguo's party will inevitably be desperate. If the Second Prince is going to kill his father and the emperor, the general must delay him until the Third Prince arrives in the name of protecting the emperor."
Wang Yu frowned, "Your Majesty and I only have common interests. I will not participate in your party disputes."
Jixiang smiled and said, "General, don't rush to refuse. The Marquis said that when the Third Prince ascends the throne, he will definitely reward you generously.
This time, the party of the Duke of Zhenguo is at the end of its strength. Once the Duke of Zhenguo falls, Xiang Zheng, whom they rely on, is actually the Third Prince's man. With this kind of internal and external cooperation, the Second Prince will undoubtedly be defeated.
Originally, even if the general did not help, the Third Prince could still succeed, but the Marquis appreciated and valued the general and did not want the general to miss this opportunity to serve the emperor.
"The merit of following the emperor, the hereditary title, this is an honor that may not be exchanged for any number of military merits, General, please consider it."
Wang Yu didn't answer directly, but just said, "Let me think about it."
Jixiang smiled and said, "Okay, General, I will go back and report to our Lord first."
Hearing the noise inside, the person eavesdropping outside immediately dodged with his heart pounding .
His mind was full of the words he had just heard.
The Second Prince wants to seize the throne by force?
Is Xiang Zheng the Third Prince's man?
Has the Third Prince been waiting to catch the turtle in the jar?
No, this matter must be told to the Duke immediately.
"What's wrong with your stomach? Why did you take so long?" The soldier who was eavesdropping on the corner came back restlessly. His companion asked him unhappily. After he finished speaking, he saw that his face was not very good, so he asked again, "Why do you look so bad? Have you had a lot of diarrhea?"
The man immediately came back to his senses and covered his stomach. "Don't mention it. I don't know what's going on. It hurts so much. I have to take a day off tomorrow morning to get some medicine."
"It's just a stomachache. The military doctor will give you two bowls of soup and it will be solved."
"No, I don't know what's wrong with my stomach. Last time I had a stomachache, the military doctor's medicine didn't work. My mother got some magic pills from somewhere, and I took two of them and I got better immediately."
"Can you do this? You look like you're dying. If you can't, go back and take a rest. I'll watch over you myself. If anyone asks me, just say you went to the toilet."
The man was uneasy, afraid that his companions would notice something, so he just went along with it and said, "Thanks, brother. I'll treat you to a drink when I get better."
The next morning, just as it was getting light, he asked for leave, left the military camp and headed straight for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo has been arrested and is about to be executed. The entire Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
The second prince has made up his mind. If he really cannot get the emperor to take back his order, he will order people to break into the prison on the spot.
The Second Prince and several of the Duke's sons were carefully planning the follow-up arrangements when they suddenly received a message, "Your Highness, there is someone who claims to be from the West Mountain Camp and wants to see you. He says he has something important to report."
Xishan Camp?
The second prince was suspicious for a moment, "Let him in."
The man originally came to see the master of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but he didn't expect to see the Second Prince himself. He saluted nervously with his hands and feet together, and then his thighs went weak and he knelt down directly, not caring about anything else, and blurted out everything he overheard last night.
These few words made the Second Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo's sons all look drastically different.
He was even glad that at this moment they did not discuss their conspiracy with Xiang Zheng.
otherwise……
Isn't this like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth and rushing to its death?
The second prince did not dare to delay and entered the palace immediately.
