After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 239 239 Insane
Shen Qingci's head was in a daze.

He waited until he heard the voice of Liuyun outside: "Master, we have arrived."

Her consciousness came back suddenly.

Sheng Tingye had already let go of her, and just hugged her silently in his arms without saying anything, but there was an indescribably ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.

For no reason, Shen Qingci's heart beat faster.

The carriage has stopped.

Shen Qingci blushed and jumped out of the carriage before Sheng Tingye.

It was still snowing heavily outside, and being blown by the biting north wind, Shen Qingci's dizzy mind suddenly woke up.

When she looked up, she realized that they had reached a side alley.

No wonder the noise became quieter as we walked, there was no one at the entrance of this alley.

The carriage stopped in front of the third house.

The house doesn't look like anything special from the outside.

Shen Qingci was still waiting for a closer look, when his shoulders suddenly felt warm.

Sheng Tingye, who came down later, took the cloak and put it under her hood.

The cold air from just now faded instantly, and Shen Qingci's whole body was wrapped in warmth.

Liu Yun bowed to lead him in, and was about to invite Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye in.

Shen Qingci wrapped his cloak tightly, and was about to stand on tiptoes and walk in, but Sheng Tingye hugged him by the waist.

"Huh? I can go by myself..."

Suddenly, in order to prevent herself from falling, she subconsciously hugged his neck.

"Your foot is injured, don't move rashly."

With just one sentence, Shen Qingci's words were beaten back.

In fact, the injury on her foot is not so painful anymore.

As long as you have a slight limp when you walk, and you don't use much force, it's not too serious.

But since he wanted to take care of her, she couldn't resist his kindness. Anyway, it wasn't the first time she was hugged by him like this.

Shen Qingci softened his body, allowing him to hug himself in under the eyes of everyone.

This is a big house with two entrances, there are seven or eight servants in it, and they have been cleaned inside and out.

But Shen Qingci looked at these servants, all of them were walking like flying, and their skills were extremely stable. It looked like a family member, giving people enough sense of security.

Most of them were the secret guards accompanied by Sheng Tingye.

Sheng Tingye sent her to the main house in the backyard, and ordered the servants to serve her wholeheartedly, before turning around to attend to his business.

He is really busy.

There are too many messages waiting for him to make a decision, and there are many hidden people who have been lurking in Yunzhou City for many years waiting to see him, and the matter on Yue Qi is even more difficult.

Shen Qingci also met him when he sent him back, even though he was in the study in the front yard, she didn't see anyone.

Sheng Tingye is busy, and she is also not idle.

Since she wanted to help, she first had to understand the current situation in Yunzhou.

Not long after she asked Ting Lan to express this meaning to him, Liu Yun submitted all the news reports that Sheng Tingye had read these days, and coupled with the explanation to Ting Lan beside her, the more Shen Qingci understood, It was only then that Sheng Tingye's headache became more and more serious.

The Zhang family took the iron ore in Qiankuling as their own and raised private soldiers. This Yunzhou herdsman and the Zhang family are also of the same breed.

Although Shen Qingci already had a guess before knowing about it.

After all, the Zhang family's ability to cover the sky with one hand is absolutely indispensable to the protection of the local state shepherd, but after seeing the contents of the online newspaper, Shen Qingci was still shocked.

Yao Zhaofeng, shepherd of Yunzhou, is an offshoot of the Yao family, one of the four major families, and also the natal nephew of Mrs. Zhang's family.

The father of Yao Qingruan, who is going to be engaged to Zhang Jincheng, is a blood brother.

The two families were broken, and even the bones were connected. Yao Zhaofeng protected Zhang Zongyao and others, not to mention that as a state shepherd, he could have [-] elite soldiers.

Just this year, taking advantage of the floods in the north of the Yangtze River and the displacement of the victims, they detained a large number of refugees to mine and smelt iron on Qiankuling.

Not only that, they also asked the court for money, food, and additional troops under the pretext that there were bandits in Qiankuling and they needed to suppress the bandits.

Brazenly increased the armament and configuration of the State Shepherd's Mansion, from three thousand elite soldiers to a full five thousand.

Eat at both ends, fat at both ends.

It's simply brazen and insane!
Due to the shortage of supplies in winter, the private soldiers on Qianku Ridge were even sent down the mountain to burn, kill and loot the nearby villagers, just like real bandits.

And no matter how bad the situation is and how miserable the people are, at that time, Yunzhou Mu Yao Zhaofeng will only need to get the money allocated by the imperial court to suppress the bandits, and lead his troops to Qiankuling with great fanfare.

He was originally from his own family, so he said hello in advance, and with the cooperation of the Zhang family's private soldiers over there, most of the banditry would be "eliminated".

At that time, with political achievements and money, the people will have to be grateful and have a reputation.

If he hadn't known that the banditry on Qianku Ridge was the private soldiers raised by Zhang Zongyao and Yao Zhaofeng of the Zhang family, Shen Qingci would have shouted hello for him.

The entire Yunzhou has already been firmly controlled by these two people.

Zhang Zongyao led Qiankuling and raised private soldiers, numbering over ten thousand.

Yao Zhaofeng is in charge of Yunzhou City, and he is in charge of five thousand elite soldiers.

The distance between these two places is not too far, and they echo each other from a distance. Once something goes wrong, the other place can get news and respond quickly.

Either way, it's tricky.

Shen Qingci looked at the topographic map, if Lin Yunzheng led his troops to go overland, he could only go around to the back of Qianku Ridge.

Even if Qiankuling can be captured in the first time, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in this Yunzhou city. If Yao Zhaofeng is cornered... No one can predict what kind of crazy people like him will do .

What's more, Qianku Ridge itself is very difficult, there is a unique terrain.

It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Lin Yunzheng led his troops from the west... Unless someone responds, cooperates from inside and outside, and you must be very familiar with the exact location of the Qiankuling soldiers, and defeat them one by one...

Seeing this, Shen Qingci could vaguely guess what Sheng Tingye was going to do.

A few more days.

Ting Lan brought the news that something happened to Zhang Zongyao's eldest son, Zhang Jinxuan.

It was said that Xuetian Road slipped and fell from the horse and fell to the critical point and lost his life, but in fact, someone shot secretly.

Zhang Zongyao trusted this son very much, and he was cultivating him as his heir.

Originally, Zhang Jincheng had limited access to things, because Zhang Zongyao handed over most of the things to Zhang Jinxuan, especially the part about Qiankuling, and Zhang Jincheng was not affected at all.

But after Zhang Jinxuan's accident, everything was different.

Zhang Zongyao has only two sons and one daughter.

The second daughter, Zhang Jingwan, was sent to the capital, where she was raised at Mrs. Zhang's lap since she was a child.

In front of Zhang Zongyao, only the eldest son, Zhang Jinxuan, and the third son, Zhang Jincheng.

Because he is the eldest son, he has placed high hopes on him since he was a child.

As for Zhang Jincheng, the third child, because he was one of the twins, he was still weak since he was a child, and with Mrs. Zhang taking care of him, Zhang Zongyao felt that it would be okay for him to be a rich and idle person in the future.

After Yue Qi replaced Zhang Jincheng's identity, he "unintentionally" revealed that he also wanted to make a career, and Zhang Zongyao assigned him some things to do.

But these never touch the core secrets of Qiankuling and Zhang Zongyao.

Until Zhang Jinxuan's death, Zhang Jincheng became Zhang Zongyao's only heir.

On the second day of Zhang Jinxuan's accident, Zhang Zongyao called "Zhang Jincheng" to the study and had a long talk all night.

Shen Qingci didn't know what they were talking about, but she knew that Zhang Zongyao was going to take Zhang Jincheng to Qiankuling himself.

This is a great opportunity.
