Yanmenchun

Chapter 269

Wang Yan was stunned on the spot.

Shen Tuchan said that she would not be the main general. She had never actually been on the battlefield, but people outside did not know that she had said this.

Seeing that Wang Yan was still thinking about this matter, Jiang Lan reminded directly: "No one will think that it is Princess Yan who wants to take charge of military affairs. The person they see is this king."

Even if Shen Tuchan often shuttles in the army, the first thing people see is not her, but the Yan Palace behind her.

King Yan is the emperor's direct son, and everyone will think that he is about to take over Mobei.

Wang Yan looked at Jiang Lan and couldn't refute a word. If this is the case, then Mobei really has a traitor, or an internal agent. This person, or these people, revealed the news of King Yan's arrival to the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu came to test the Jin army and King Yan tonight.

A young prince, no matter how you look at it, he should have never been on the battlefield, and he only has an air of military art. If Jiang Lan is really such a person, then he will definitely fight back against the Huns immediately, and make sure he takes over Mobei. The rumors of the incident exposed his flaws clearly.

If Jiang Lan is not or does not move, the Xiongnu will also know that the new owner of this Mobei person is not an idiot, and they will find other ways to deal with this person.

In fact, no matter whether this person is Jiang Lan or Shen Tuchan, the Xiongnu's thinking will not change.

Wang Yan was in a cold sweat from shock. If Mobei has always had an internal response, wouldn't the tens of thousands of people in Mobei be living on the tip of a knife.

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he turned around and entered the camp. Before the artillery from the Zhenbeihou Mansion arrived, he had to clear the interior of Mobei. If there was no artillery, he had prepared for the worst.

Han Fei felt a little uncomfortable these few days, as if she was overdrawn on the road, and fell ill these few days.

Among the four new maids, the dark-skinned but very beautiful maid recommended by Mrs. Cao is called Hongdou, and she is also very clever. She is the one who serves Shen Tuchan closely when Han Fei is away.

When she walked to the door of Shen Tuchan's study with the kettle and the small hand stove, she was stopped by the woman at the door, she explained with a smile: "Nurse, the servants are here to add tea to the princess and replace the hand stove."

The mother-in-law looked her up and down, with scrutiny, and then said: "Miss, wait a moment."

Then he knocked lightly on the door of the study and said, "Your Majesty, the servants are here to exchange tea."

It wasn't until the inside said "Come in" that the mother-in-law gently opened the door, raised her chin and let the red beans go in.

Hongdou felt in her heart that the high-ranking family had more rules, and while entering the door, she presented the new hand stove to Shen Tuchan.

The blueprints and books on Shen Tuchan's desk were all in good order, and after replacing the hand stove, she watched the red beans add tea.

Hong Dou was a little nervous. It was the first time she saw someone from the royal family, and she felt that neither the appearance nor the demeanor was comparable to the people she had seen before, including Mrs. Zhao and Cao.

She finished pouring the tea and was about to leave when Shen Tuchan smiled and said, "Hongdou, are you the son of the prefect's mansion?"

Hongdou quickly shook her head and said: "Go back to your mother, this is not the servant, the servant entered the prefect's mansion when she was seven or eight years old."

Shen Tuchan nodded and asked again: "Then are you from Mobei? Have you seen the Huns?"

Hongdou knelt down nervously, still holding the small teapot firmly in her hand, lowered her head and said nervously: "This servant is not from Mobei, she was sold here when she was young, and she has never seen the Huns."

Shen Tuchan said for a lifetime: "Don't be nervous, I'm just chatting with you, let's go down."

Hongdou just got up and went out with the pot. A woman outside heard the conversation just now, and after Hongdou left, she came in and said, "Madam, what's wrong with that girl?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head and said: "Han Fei has been resting for two days, this girl always finds various reasons to come in while I am in the study, I told Han Fei after I came to Mobei, as long as I enter the study , unless I call her, you are not allowed to go in, I don't believe that Han Fei didn't teach her about it."

Because she was looking at the drawings and written records about the artillery, except for Jiang Lan, she was wary of everyone around her.

The two women guarding the door looked at each other, and asked the question just now: "Your Majesty, do you want to interrogate?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head and said, "Keep an eye on her and give her a chance to enter the study and inner room."

The two women bowed their heads and said yes.

Jiang Lan didn't come back until the next morning, and Shen Tuchan was waiting for him to have breakfast.

As soon as he entered the room, he took off his cloak and said, "I have something to tell you."

Shen Tuchan raised her eyebrows and said, "I also have something to tell you."

· Jiang Lan first talked about the Xiongnu’s raid last night and the possibility of secret work in Mobei, Shen Tuchan also mentioned the matter of Hongdou, Jiang Lan was a little skeptical: "Do you think Hongdou is a secret work?"

Shen Tuchan pondered for a moment and said: "Probably not. If she is the secret agent of Mobei, the prefect's mansion has enough news to pass on before we come. The Xiongnu may not be tempting at this moment. It is estimated that they have already reached Hanzhong."

Jiang Lan nodded, and while serving her vegetables, said: "Maybe the prefect's house wants to test you."

Shen Tuchan laughed and said, "Try her and you'll know. As for the rest, let's spread the word that King Yan is going to take charge of Mobei, how about it?"

This was originally Jiang Lan's plan.

At night, Hongdou's servant Shen Tuchan lay down and was about to help Jiang Lan take off his boots. Shen Tuchan looked at Jiang Lan and said, "My bracelet is gone."

Jiang Lan said with great concern: "You have been in the study today, did you fall in the study?"

Then he turned and looked at Hongdou: "Go to the study and look for it."

Hong Dou was taken aback for a moment, she knew that the study room was an important place, guarded by the woman next to the princess, and usually people would not let people go in alone.

She couldn't help but look at Shentuchan, Shentuchan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to speak, but looked at King Yan but didn't say anything.

King Yan walked over and took Shentuchan into his arms and looked up at Hongdou. Hongdou was still waiting for Shentuchan to refuse to accept King Yan, but King Yan reprimanded him directly: "Hurry up, why are you dawdling!"

Hong Dou then nodded in panic and ran out.

The door of the study was locked, so she had no choice but to call her mother-in-law, who looked at her carefully: "Was it said by the princess?"

Hongdou nodded and said: "The princess said that she lost her bracelet, let the slaves look for it, you can ask the prince and concubine."

The mother-in-law had no choice but to take out the key from her body and open the door for her. The mother-in-law went to light the lamp, and Hong Dou looked around the room for a while before walking to the desk.

On it are the notebooks that Shentuchan read, as well as neatly placed notebooks and some drawings of Mobei.

Hongdou didn't turn over those things, but let go after feeling for any traces of beads, and the mother-in-law held the lamp and came over and said, "Search carefully."

Only then did Hongdou roughly flip through. She was literate, and only saw the sentence "Everything in Mobei is under the control of the prince", and she closed it in a panic, her heart pounding.

The mother-in-law glanced at her and said, "Look under the chair."

Hongdou hurriedly bent down again to feel the lower part of the chair carefully. She did not lower her head and turned over the cushion on the chair again, revealing a string of crystal clear jasper jade strings in the gap between the handles on the side.

She quickly took it in her hand and said to the mother-in-law, "I found it!"
