the first lady

Chapter 133

"If outsiders know about it, Emperor Wu's prestige among all the tribes in the world will be greatly reduced. At the same time, such a despicable method will make all tribes resist, especially the Yi tribe!" Qiao Linger heard him say this. Immediately realized, and then suddenly flashed again, and asked: "Then the purpose of Emperor Wu urging you so much now, is it...?"

Zongzheng Yi's smile deepened slightly, "Ling'er, don't look at me with such questioning eyes, I didn't do anything, I just asked my brother to report the military situation of General Wu who wants to seize his position as a general, I just accidentally leaked some of it."

Hearing what Zong Zhengyi said, the corners of Qiao Linger's mouth twitched fiercely.

What do you mean doing nothing?

Leaking military information is a capital offense!And let the elder brother Zong Zhengye secretly leak the matter of General Wu, one is to improve Zong Zhengye's prestige, the other is to relieve one of Emperor Wu's confidantes, and the third is to make Nanwu Kingdom suffer from the hatred of other clans!
The Yi tribe is not a small tribe, it occupies the largest position among all the tribes, but now it is actually being taken over by the Nanwu Kingdom.Not to mention the other minor clans, the Queen of the Yi clan who is also eyeing the Nanwu Kingdom alone will not be peaceful.

The power confrontation between the emperor and the empress, and the hostility between the Nanwu Kingdom and any other clan in the outside world, must now be besieged by enemies from both sides and surrounded by enemies.Although the patriarch of the Yi tribe is a member of Emperor Wu, it does not mean that all the tribe members of the Yi tribe will submit to Nanwu Kingdom.

Although these are just a few short sentences, the scope of its influence is extremely deep.

Qiao Ling'er looked at Zong Zhengyi, this man was too scary, he didn't do anything, he just asked his elder brother to do such a small thing... that's all.

"What's the matter, Linger?" Zong Zhengyi looked at her in confusion and asked.

Qiao Linger's forehead was covered with black lines, and she cleared her throat and asked, "Do you know that the 'unintentional' leak of military information by elder brother will put the entire Nanwu Kingdom in trouble?"

"Isn't this great?" Zong Zhengyi said calmly.

Hearing that, the corners of Qiao Linger's mouth twitched fiercely again, "The Emperor Wu urged you to go back quickly, just to use your prime minister's ability in foreign affairs to communicate with all ethnic groups?"

Zongzheng Yi nodded, "It should be so."

Qiao Ling'er suddenly had the urge to go up and kick this man's feet, but he didn't say anything about such a serious matter, and he didn't care about it.Nanwu Kingdom is in turmoil, this is big news!
At this moment, Qiao Ling'er also recalled the true reputation of the prime minister's husband, not only because of his gentle and modest personality, which had a great reputation in Nanwu Kingdom, but also because of his integrity and resourcefulness, in the relationship with him. Getting along with foreigners will always give people a deep impression. The small clans around Nanwu Kingdom have been able to maintain stability for so many years because of his credit.

Some individual small tribes, Nanwu Kingdom, are not taken seriously, but now Nanwu Kingdom has offended almost all the foreign tribes, and these foreign tribes unite. Under the leadership of the Yi tribe, the country may change hands up!
So at this moment of turmoil among the heroes, Emperor Wu naturally couldn't wait for Zong Zhengyi to go back and deal with it.

"Apart from these, did you do anything else?" Qiao Linger continued to ask after trying to digest.

A trace of surprise flashed in Zongzhengyi's eyes, but he quickly replied, "I just wrote a letter to Yan yesterday."

"What was written in the letter?" Qiao Ling'er asked eagerly, her heart beating a lot faster.

"Let him take good care of father and mother, and visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he has time." Zong Zhengyi said calmly. Qiao Linger was also relieved when he heard that, but Zong Zhengyi didn't let her relax completely. Go, and said: "The third family has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history under the pursuit of the seventh family, and now it is expanding from south to east."

From south to east?

"Our family?" Qiao Linger's pupils suddenly dilated, filled with words of disbelief.

Starting from Mocheng and going from south to east, many are the economic sphere of influence of the Qiao family, and of course more are the capital city that is in the wind with the Feng family of the first family.However, although the capital city is a piece of fat, there are also many external economic forces. If it is lost, it is equivalent to losing half.

Zongzheng smiled shallowly, "Half of the Qiao family is on the passage from south to east, and the entire Bai family is in the southeast."

Hearing Zong Zhengyi's words, Qiao Ling'er wished he had the urge to vomit blood, "You use the Bai family as a bait to take down all the Qiao family's economy, and let my uncle monopolize all the southeast economy, right?"

"The Feng family has also infiltrated the economy there, not all of them." Zong Zhengyi kindly reminded.

Qiao Ling'er's teeth itch immediately, the Feng family's influence in that place is very little, it's embarrassing to mention it, what a fart!

Although the Bai family is the fourth-ranked family of the fourth family, its total economic capacity is still less than half of that of the Qiao family. In the eyes of outsiders, it is intentional to deal with the Bai family. In fact, the deeper purpose is to take down the Qiao family's economy. Home is just a surface, used as a cover.

At the same time, Zongzhengyi also understood another reason for choosing the Bai family. If she only took the money from the Zongzheng family and the Qiao family, it would not be difficult to suspect that it was the Qiao family or the Zongzheng family who did it behind the scenes. If you do it in a circle, you won't be suspicious anymore.

The economic power of the third family in Mocheng and half of the Qiao family's economic power alone are enough to cause economic turmoil in the entire Nanwu Kingdom, not to mention that there is another Bai family that has been dragged into the water?

"But, let my uncle do so much by himself?" Qiao Linger asked.

It's not that the Qiao family and the Bai family can be taken if they want to take them down. Zong Zhengyan is alone, and even if he has the skill of avatar, he can't take care of them.

"Don't worry, I sent someone to help Yan, and he will finish it within a month." Zong Zhengyi gave her a reassuring smile.

Looking at the gentle and harmless man beside him, Qiao Ling'er felt terrified from the bottom of his heart. He only needed to pass on a few simple sentences, lit a gunpowder head and watched the show aside. This man...is really terrifying!

Seeing her trembling appearance, Zong Zhengyi couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Qiao Ling'er felt that she really needed to think about it seriously, whether she should consider being with this man, it's like killing without blood!
"But Ling'er, you don't think so on your face!" Zong Zhengyi said with a hint of ridicule.

"Why do you still have the ability to read minds?" Qiao Ling'er smiled embarrassingly.

The purpose of gathering the economic power of the Qiao family was also to let Emperor Wu let the Qiao family go. The Qiao family without the support of economic power was naturally of little use to him. Even the emperor could not use any excuses to deal with it.Therefore, Zong Zhengyi annexed the power of the Qiao family, also in order to take time out of Emperor Wu's persecution of the Qiao family.

This man is thoughtful, even though he never shows any signs of expression, he arranged everything secretly without others knowing. If she wants to be worthy of such a man, she must work hard.

Qiao Ling'er may not know that Zong Zhengyi hadn't planned to strike so quickly, but Emperor Wu had touched his bottom line unknowingly, so naturally he wouldn't just swallow his anger like this.If the matter of the fifth princess is really settled in the Zongzheng government, the Zongzheng family, Qiao Linger, and the Qiao family will all fall into another dangerous situation, and this situation is definitely not a situation they would like to see.

……

In the dark night, a strange darkness enveloped the entire sky over the forest, covering up the stars in the sky.

Small tents were set up one after another, and the soldiers lived there. Ten people were crowded into one tent, and there were also guards, who dozed off defenselessly.

A black figure walked out of one of the tents, walking lightly, obviously with a weight that he had long been used to.

Passing over the sleepy soldiers, he walked lightly into the depths of the woods, and at the same time, he didn't forget to look back to see if anyone would find him.

After walking for a while, a low whistle sounded, and only the sound of "swat, slap, slap" appeared from the top of the head, followed by a white pigeon that could be seen in the dark night.

The white pigeon flew to the man's arm, and after looking around, he took out a small roll of notes from his waist and stuffed it into the small bamboo tube attached to the pigeon's ankle.Looking at the surrounding situation again, he didn't notice any traces of people, so he threw the pigeon and flew out.

The pigeon flew out, the figure disappeared, the man turned and left, and yawned lazily when he reached the tent, as if he was still awake.

"Commander Liao, is it convenient to go again?" The guard just woke up from a doze, and saw the so-called Commander Liao.

Commander Liao looked confused, but he still led the army and said: "Don't be lazy and sleep, you know?"

"Yes Yes……"

After saying that, Commander Liao returned to his tent with vain steps, and from that far away, Qingye and Lanfeng leaned out, looked at each other, and looked into the depths of the woods.

In the depths of the woods, a figure that almost merged with the night appeared, jumped up and down among the woods, and turned over and fell down in two or three times.

"Qiao Ling'er, you're lying, I was obviously the one who saw it first." The voice of Zhuiming Nan Nunu appeared in the silent woods, and jumped down following the previous black figure.

A bright flame ignited, illuminating the face of the man in black.

The first one to come down was Qiao Ling'er in tight black night clothes. In fact, several of them had been ambushing here all along.

After Commander Liao went far away, Qiao Linger and Zhuiming who were waiting on the tree, shuttled between the leaves and intercepted the pigeon before it flew out.

Originally, Zong Zhengyi said nothing to let Qiao Ling'er be on the tree, but she also said something, like Yueying's martial arts is high, she can protect him below, if she follows her, she will become two burdens.And even if he was discovered on the top, there would still be a martial arts master named Zhuiming.
