Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1677 The Queen’s murderous intention!
Even though Ye Mingsheng told An Miaoyi the truth and gave her peace of mind, the effect of this pill did not last long!

Seeing Jingxuan's increasing talent and intelligence in the palace, and Ye Mingsheng's growing love and attention for Jingxuan, all these made the Queen Daqian feel insecure!

Although Pei Zhixiu and Jingxuan, mother and son, acted indifferent to fame and fortune and did not seem to have any improper desires for the position of crown prince, this still could not eliminate An Miaoyi's worries. In the eyes of the Queen Daqian, Pei Zhixiu was a higher-level version of Chen Rouer!
Chen Rouer relies on her body and freshness to keep Ye Mingsheng, while Pei Zhixiu relies on emotion and intellect to keep Ye Mingsheng!
But whether it is her intelligence or indifference to fame and fortune, or her kindness in curing diseases and saving lives, they are all just Pei Zhixiu's disguise. This woman is just like other women in the palace, pursuing fame, fortune and power!

If she really didn't care about power and was really indifferent to fame and fortune, why did she stay with Ye Mingsheng for so many years?

If she was really that kind, why did she just sit there and watch Ye Mingsheng kill so many people!

In the final analysis, Bae Ji-soo is no different from other women in the palace, except that her methods are more sophisticated and she harbors more sinister intentions!
Now it seems that she has no intention of competing for the position of crown prince, it's just that the child is still too young, so she wants to protect the child. At the same time, it is also to confuse Ye Mingsheng even more, so that the image of her and her son in Ye Mingsheng's indifference to fame and fortune can be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...

When Jingxuan was in his first year of college, Pei Zhixiu was whispering in Ye Mingsheng's ear. Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in An Miaoyi's eyes.

Although she wanted to take action, An Miaoyi couldn't help but calm down when she thought of Pei Zhixiu's identity and the possible consequences.

An Miaoyi had investigated Pei Zhixiu. She knew that it would be difficult for Pei Zhixiu and Jingxuan to fall into her trap with the methods she often used. Besides, Pei Zhixiu was also very cautious. Even though she was a noble concubine, she usually cooked for herself and seldom asked others to do it for her. Besides, Pei Zhixiu herself was a first-class doctor, so it would be difficult to succeed by targeting her with medicines!
And once Pei Zhixiu finds out about his methods, it will probably be a fight to the death, and it will be difficult for Ye Mingsheng to let him go in his rage!
Although he has gathered a huge network around him through continuous efforts over the years, Ye Mingsheng has to be wary of him.

But An Miaoyi knew better that many of her little actions were done with Ye Mingsheng's tacit approval. After all, as the queen, she was sometimes also one of Ye Mingsheng's tools, helping him solve some problems.

However, once he touched Ye Mingsheng's red line, Ye Mingsheng would probably not show mercy to his men!
Ye Mingsheng doesn't have many red lines, but unfortunately Pei Zhixiu might be one of them...
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi's expression became more gloomy. Queen Daqian, who hadn't thought of any good solution, pondered for a moment and asked:
"Is there any good way to get rid of them?"

Although An Miaoyi did not say who this "they" referred to, Qi Qige, who was standing beside her, had followed An Miaoyi for many years and knew her master's character very well, so she naturally knew who this "they" referred to.

Qiqige, who understood An Miaoyi's intention, was also shocked. As An Miaoyi's confidant, she knew that An Miaoyi's desire to get rid of "them" was not a whim, but she had had this idea for a long time!

However, it is very difficult to get rid of the other party, and the consequences are very serious, so An Miaoyi has always put this idea on hold.

And now that Her Majesty has asked herself this question, it means that Her Majesty has already regarded the other party as a serious threat, and the time has come to deal with it!

Although she understood her master's intentions, Qiqige still felt very troubled by the question posed by An Miaoyi.

After all, if the opponent was so easy to deal with, the Queen would have taken action long ago, causing the opponent to suddenly fall ill and die of a sudden illness, just like she did to the little emperor Jiang Cong!
In addition, if the other party is really an ordinary concubine in the harem, she can also take action. Although there are many masters in the imperial palace, Qiqige believes that with her own skills, plus the help of the queen, she can definitely kill the enemy invisibly!

However, even though he had never seen the other party make a move, Qiqige knew with his martial artist's intuition that the other party's martial arts were far superior to his own. Not to mention being alone, even if he and the two hundred assassins raised by the Empress were to attack together, it would be difficult to hurt the other party.

Qiqige felt a little depressed when she thought of this. She seldom had such emotions, but facing that person, she really felt powerless...
Just when Qiqige didn't know what to do, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her mind and she thought of a possibility!
After careful consideration, Qiqige felt that this method seemed to make some sense, and immediately told An Miaoyi about it. After hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

After Qiqige finished speaking, An Miaoyi also fell into deep thought.

The Queen of Daqian pondered for a full cup of tea before she asked with some doubt:

"Will this method work?"

Facing the question from her master, Qiqige smiled bitterly and said:

"My queen, you also know the other party's ability. If we use our old methods, the other party may be better than us. She is a master of playing with drugs. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison. She is definitely proficient in this!"

"As for my martial arts, I don't need to mention it. Even if there were ten of me, I would not be her match!"

"Besides, His Majesty dotes on her so much. Even if we mobilize public opinion in the court, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything to her!"

"So we are left with this solution which is not a solution at all!"

After hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi felt uncomfortable, but she had to admit that what Qiqige said made sense. Her methods might be effective against others, but they might not be a match for her!
If you really want to get rid of them, this may be the only way!

Thinking of this, An Miaoyi couldn't help but ask:
"Is the person you are talking about reliable?"

"This man is a good friend of Chu He. Chu He said that he has great abilities and is very advanced in Taoism. As long as he can get something, he will definitely be invincible!"

Hearing Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi's heart moved, and after pondering for a moment, he said:

"Can anyone do it?"

Hearing An Miaoyi say this and looking at her expression, Qiqige immediately understood An Miaoyi's intentions. She was startled and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face. At this time, An Miaoyi was also quietly looking at this maid who had followed her for many years.

Just as Qiqige could see through An Miaoyi's mind, An Miaoyi could also see through Qiqige's thoughts.

Seeing Qiqige like this, An Miaoyi knew that Qiqige had seen through her thoughts. At the same time, she couldn't help but think in her heart that girls should not be kept as they grow up!
Just when Qiqige was confused and didn't know how to start, An Miaoyi also spoke:

"Don't worry, Qiqige! I'm not crazy about gains and losses!"

After hearing what An Miaoyi said, Qiqige finally relaxed, but after hesitating, she couldn't help but persuade:

"My Lady, it took ten years to finally be able to cross the river together..."

Hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi's eyes immediately turned cold, which made Qiqige stop talking immediately and swallow back what she wanted to say.

Under An Miaoyi's gaze, Qiqige seemed a little at a loss, as if she didn't know what to do.

Just as the atmosphere in the room became increasingly solemn, An Miaoyi waved her hand, and Qiqige immediately bowed and left the room as if she had been pardoned.

After Qiqige left, An Miaoyi was the only one left in the room, sitting in front of the dressing mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, An Miaoyi's expression became more and more complicated. After a moment, she lowered her head and looked at her hands. Although this pair of slender and white hands was Ye Mingsheng's favorite thing to touch, he would enjoy it to his heart's content every time.

But at this moment, An Miaoyi seemed to be able to feel the blood surging between her hands, and at the same time, the roar of wronged souls seemed to appear in her ears.

But An Miaoyi did not look afraid at all. On the contrary, the complexity in her eyes gradually faded away, replaced by coldness and determination...

Damao Mountain in Erlunqin grassland.

Countless Golden Horde soldiers were packing up their tents and preparing to retreat. Although everyone was working, a glimmer of hope always appeared on their originally numb faces. They were finally going to leave this hellhole and return to their hometown.

At the same time, surrounded by many close followers, Habib stood on the hillside on horseback, looking at the Damao Mountain in the distance, his eyes full of unwillingness and helplessness.

Looking at the broken flag standing high on the military camp, Habib knew very well that the defenders on Damao Mountain, just like the flag, although still looked strong, had actually been broken into pieces by the fierce attacks in the past few days!

Just give yourself ten days, no! Five days!
I can definitely take over Damao Mountain!
Thinking of this, Habib's expression became more unwilling and regretful. Although he was very reluctant, he knew very well that retreating at this time was the right choice!

Although he had previously ordered the news of the Daqian Second Army's northward attack on the Turte Grassland to be blocked, as Habib expected, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the news still spread quickly.

Before the news spread, although the soldiers of the Golden Horde were nervous and exhausted physically and mentally from months of high-intensity fighting, they were still willing to drag their tired bodies to continue fighting under the high pressure of Habib and the good wishes of conquering Damao Mountain, killing their arch-enemy Robe, and unifying the grassland, as well as the material rewards!
However, after learning that their rear was attacked by Daqian and that they might be robbed by Daqian, these Qipchaq soldiers were unwilling to fight...
Khabib showed no mercy and chopped off dozens of heads, but he still couldn't suppress the soldiers' homesickness.

Seeing that his past tactics of killing people to establish his authority were no longer effective, Khabib could only pin his hopes on spending a lot of money. However, this tactic also had no effect. The soldiers were still eager to return home and did not want to fight anymore!
Seeing this situation, Khabib felt very complicated!
His family is also in the city of Lesa. It would be a lie to say that he is not worried. He would definitely want to go back to provide assistance if possible.

He was just unwilling to give up halfway when victory was clearly in sight and watch Luo Bi go through this difficult time!
These days, Khabib's heart has been in agony and confusion, like an ant being roasted on fire, but now these Robi soldiers have made the choice for him, so that he doesn't have to suffer and be confused like this!
With a long sigh, Habib kept comforting himself in his heart that although he retreated this time, he still had a chance. This retreat was only for a better return!
Although he comforted himself in this way, Habib's reason also made him understand that he had tried his best in this battle and exhausted the manpower and material resources of the Golden Horde. Now that he has not won yet, he doesn't know when there will be such an opportunity in the future...

He is already in his forties, and according to the current average life expectancy on the grassland, he doesn't have much time left!
Thinking of this, Habib sighed deeply again, then looked deeply at Damao Mountain, then turned around and left.

The next night, on a hillside somewhere on the Turte grassland, the returning Cuman army was resting, and Chen Zhongshu was also summoned to the central army camp in northern Harbin.

"Chen Zhongshu pays his respects to the Khan!"

Habib, who was checking the map, heard this, raised his head and looked at Chen Zhongshu, forcing a smile on his face and said:

"Mr. Chen is here!"

Looking at the smile on Habib's face, Chen Zhongshu didn't feel relaxed at all. He didn't know why, but when he looked at the smile on Habib's face, Chen Zhongshu just felt that Habib was smiling with his lips but not his eyes. This made him even more nervous, and he even had a bad premonition!
After all, Chen Zhongshu did not play a big role beside Khabib in this expedition, and did not offer any tips to Khabib. He clearly felt that Khabib did not respect him as much as before.

He had a completely stern face when he talked to him a few days ago, so when he saw Khabib's smile at this time, Chen Zhongshu felt that the person who was trying to please him was either a traitor or a thief.

This also made Chen Zhongshu more alert.
Habib briefly asked about Chen Zhongshu's life in the past two days, whether he ate well, slept well, etc., and then he changed the subject and went straight to the point:
"Mr. Chen, what can you teach me about the current situation?"
