Chapter 1057 Inaccessible
After Ruan Jing left, Rong Jiu was still sitting on the porch. Madam Su put a brazier beside her in case she would catch the cold.

In the twilight, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the snowy scenery of the city. When Shen Cheng came back, seeing her worried face, he couldn't help holding her hand: "It's such a cold day, why are you blowing the wind in the corridor?"

Rong Jiu looked at him and said, "Sir, the Xiao family is about to fall apart."

After several games, Rong Jiu pulled out the Xiao family's forces in the Forbidden Army and the Shenhu Camp, Prime Minister Xiao did not have much military power.

Shen Cheng pondered: "The Xiao family does not have military power, but they are determined to rebel. It must be well-prepared. If you guessed correctly, the Xiao family must have raised a lot of private soldiers over the years, but with so many private soldiers, it is necessary to deceive others. , is not easy."

Between Rong Jiu's brows, she tightened imperceptibly, and sighed: "Unfortunately, the Ruan family doesn't know where the soldiers and horses of the Xiao family are hidden."

It was windy in the corridor, Shen Cheng took her hand, went back to the bedroom, took out the map of Chang'an, and spread it on the desk.

"There are so many soldiers and horses. If you want to hide people's eyes and ears, you have to hide in the mountains, but they can't be too far away from Chang'an." Shen Cheng pointed a few places on the map with his index finger. Great place for the military."

Rong Jiu looked at the map on the case, and his eyebrows relaxed a little: "Send someone to investigate tomorrow, and then make a long-term plan. The time is not yet ripe, and Prime Minister Xiao dare not act rashly. We can also take this opportunity to make arrangements early .”

"I will discuss with His Majesty after the court tomorrow."

"But when King Ning returns to Chang'an, there must be troubles. The Xiao family has been silent for so long. If it doesn't move, it will be over. If it moves, the storm will rise." The floor heating was burned in the sleeping hall, and it was as warm as a spring day, but Rong Jiu felt cold all over his body. Looking at the evening clouds slanting across the sky, he said rather sadly, "I don't know how many more days we can live in such a stable life? The Xiao family wanted that position wholeheartedly, but they didn't know that after the war, all businesses withered, even if they were allowed to What's the point of getting a world riddled with holes if you fulfill your wish? How long can you keep it?"

Shen Cheng embraced her by his side, and said softly: "If we can take Lingnan without bloodshed, even if the Xiao family has different intentions, they will not dare to act rashly. When the country is prosperous and the people are safe, you and I will live in seclusion in the medicine farm, come to enjoy the flowers in spring, and enjoy the flowers in winter." Guan Xue, there is no need for you and me to worry about major events in the world."

Rong Jiu snuggled into his arms and laughed: "You always have a way to make me happy, if one day you're not by my side, I probably won't be able to survive."

Shen Cheng clung to her hand, clasped his fingers tightly with her, and smiled softly: "I will live a hundred years for my husband, stay with Ah Jiuyi, and protect Ah Jiuyi from worry."

Rong Jiuyang smiled, and the two quietly looked at the twilight outside the hall.

The whole of Chang'an is also shrouded in deep twilight, only the West Market is brightly lit like daytime, and the people are noisy and laughing. As everyone knows, under the prosperity and stability, there is already an undercurrent surging.

There is a deep lake in Shenji Camp, which is connected to the Outer River. Because of the snow in the past two days, a thin layer of ice formed in the lake.

Under the quiet night, there was a soft "click", and the thin ice on the lake cracked a crack. Immediately, a head broke through the thin ice and stuck out of the water.

In the distance, there was a fire shining in the distance, and the night patrol soldiers came over with torches, and the head sank slowly again.

The flames flickered on the surface of the lake, and the night watchmen walked by the shore of the lake. When the soldiers were far away, there was a sound from the lake, the thin ice cracked a large piece, and several black shadows came out of the lake and sneaked into the firearms foundry.
