The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 158
"Actually, the safest way is to completely cut off the communication between the capital and the outside world, so that we don't have to worry about Xu Zizheng sending agents to sneak back to the capital."

Leaning on the back of the chair, Sima Xukong frowned and said: "But this will also force Xu Zizheng to jump over the wall in a hurry, and I don't know what crazy moves he will make. It is very likely that the situation will be even more difficult to control. "

Hearing Sima Xukong's scruples, Changsun Jingrong smiled across his chest and said, "This man can hold his breath quite well. It's been so long, and he can still stand still. If it's later, the Second Prince and the others will lead the reinforcements." When we arrive, we will cooperate internally and externally, and it will be even more difficult for him to seize the capital."

"Not only is it even more difficult, but he is about to run away with his tail between his legs. Therefore, he will not push himself into a dead end, and he must be planning something." Sima Xukong said firmly, "I guess, The target of his operation this time may not be the capital."

"Isn't it the capital city?" Changsun Jingrong couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "If not, then why is he planning everything so hard? It's so unreasonable."

Looking sideways at Changsun Jingrong, Sima Xukong said: "It is indeed a thankless task, but if you think about it carefully, with Xu Zizheng's strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to capture the capital, but he did it with great fanfare." Don't you think it's strange that after the announcement, he always stays put? He is not waiting outside the capital to be beaten to the bum by the Second Prince. These behaviors are really not in line with Xu Zizheng's methods, and I also want to I don’t know what benefits this will bring him, so after thinking about it, I still feel that he doesn’t mean it.”

It seemed that Sima Xukong's words made sense, Changsun Jingrong nodded and said: "After you mentioned it like this, I think Xu Zizheng wants to set up another territory and establish himself as king. But now he is just announcing it to the world, and he is justified The prince of the land is qualified to compete for this great country. If you are stupid enough to protect the capital, he can take advantage of the fire and loot it and take over the capital. But if our resistance is stubborn, then he can also withdraw troops and pull out the stronghold."

"It doesn't cost a single soldier to spread its reputation far and wide. It's a good plan." Changsun Jingrong smiled and said, "Then you plan to let this guy mess up the water in the capital, Then he patted his ass and left?"

Looking sideways at his elder grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong smiled and said, "How is it possible, I am a very vengeful person. Since he dares to plot, he must come out and try it out."

"It seems that you are going to fight him?"

Confidently tugging at his robe, Sima Xukong said with a smile: "Naturally, I also want to let that guy see how good I am. Besides, I have long seen that person's yin and yang is not pleasing to the eye, and now I have the opportunity to teach him a lesson." Once, he's not bad."

Seeing Sima Xukong eager to try, Changsun Jingrong lowered his eyebrows and said: "Let the other generals do the fighting. You who have never been on the battlefield, don't join in the fun."

"Why, are you caring about me again?"

Feeling the hot air blowing on his cheeks, Changsun Jingrong gave Sima Xukong a blank look, then stepped back half a step, and said disdainfully: "I just don't want you to cause trouble, you must know that you are not just representing yourself now, how many capitals are there?" The lives of the people are in your hands, so don’t be careless.”

"Don't worry, I won't lose," Sima Xukong said confidently, raising his jaw, "I thought, what are you going to say, I can't go to the battlefield, otherwise I will die."

With his eyes fixed, the eldest grandson Jingrong looked away, and said sternly: "Anyway, I won't harm you. If you listen to me, you must be right."

"It's obviously a pedantic idea, but it's quite righteous." Sima Xukong nodded his eldest grandson Jingrong's forehead and said with a smile, "But it's not bad to have someone who cares about yourself, and you must continue to maintain it in the future. Good Well, go back and rest for a while, and I will discuss the countermeasures with the generals."

Looking at Sima Xukong's tired face, Changsun Jingrong opened his mouth and said, "Don't be too tired, you also need to rest."

The voice was so soft that even the eldest grandson Jingrong found it strange, and immediately covered his lips, feeling a little ashamed.On the other hand, Sima Xukong looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong as if he had eaten honey, and said, "Fool, I will take care of myself, and this little difficulty is not difficult for me at all. Don't worry, as long as I have you Now, I will definitely do my best to prevent you from being in danger!"

After rubbing the top of Changsun Jingrong's hair again, Sima Xukong turned and left.And grandson Jingrong looked at his back with deep worry in his eyes.She didn't want Sima Xukong to take risks, but she also hated to know this man's personality. Under the current situation, it is very likely that he will personally take the lead.But now that the situation is changing, it is far from what she originally knew. Perhaps Sima Xukong has also changed his fate.

The weather is getting colder, and after the baptism of the night, frost has begun to form on the blades of grass, a white layer, like the best icing.But as soon as the sun came out, it drove away all the darkness, and gradually melted the frost on the grass leaves, and there were no traces of it anymore.

Xu Zizheng stood on a slope, staring at the city in front of him with narrowed eyes. It was magnificent and majestic, like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes, full of wisdom.

Then Xu Shikang, who came up, saw Xu Zizheng standing there in a daze, walked over quietly, and asked, "The matter is almost settled, when are we going to retreat?"

Taking a light breath, Xu Zizheng said: "Wait, Sima Xukong is so proud, he will definitely not sit still. I want him to come and fight in person!"

The smile gradually froze, Xu Shikang carefully looked at Xu Zizheng's face, and after confirming that he was serious, he asked, "Why do you want to have trouble with the Ninth Prince? He is just a useless prince."

Shaking his head with a smile, Xu Zizheng said: "You are wrong. Among the several princes, the one who really threatens me is Sima Xukong. He just doesn't like fighting for hypocrisy." , Tired of getting along with people in the officialdom, and it has become a habit. However, this is not a good habit, I hope he can completely correct it, otherwise, there is no great meaning in dealing with this opponent."

Hearing what Xu Zizheng said, Xu Shikang couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect you to think highly of him. That's all, since you have your own plans, then I won't force you. It's just that everything must be measured. Don’t overdo yourself.”

"Master, don't worry, I will keep this in mind," Xu Zizheng respected Xu Shikang, and after listening to his arrangement, he expressed his gratitude in a very polite manner.

"By the way, you haven't answered what I just asked you. What are you planning to evacuate?"

"Of course, after I meet our Ninth Prince, I'm really looking forward to having a good fight with him to see who is better!"

Looking at Xu Zizheng's smug side face, Xu Shi was happy to have a small question slowly fermenting.But he didn't intend to ask, just patted him on the shoulder, and left quietly.

Xu Zizheng, who was alone, continued to stare at the city, as if he could see someone by doing so.

In fact, Xu Zizheng still had a small wish, which was to see that woman again.Once we parted this time, we don't know when we will meet again. The vicissitudes of life have changed, and the stars have changed. At that time, they don't know what kind of identity and status they will become, or maybe, they will never see each other again in this life.

Thinking of this in his heart, Xu Zizheng couldn't help laughing at himself, when did he think he became such a mother-in-law?What's more, he still has an eldest grandson Wanyue in his hands, and for nothing else, he will definitely meet his eldest grandson Jingrong again just for this eldest grandson Wanyue!Next time, he won't let go easily! !
Changsun Jingrong heard that Sima Xukong discussed countermeasures with several ministers all night without a break, so he prepared a light breakfast early in the morning and brought someone to send him there.

But before she reached the door, she heard someone arguing fiercely inside. The content was nothing more than whether or not the crossbow should be used.Those old ministers believed that under such circumstances, a safe method should be used instead of digging out the things that are at the bottom of the box and full of cobwebs.After all, there are not many craftsmen who can repair this kind of weapons, especially if they have to search in the capital, it is even more difficult.

However, Sima Xukong insisted on his own opinion, thinking that there is no difference between good and bad methods, as long as they can be effective, and he believes that the chance of crossbow is the strongest move to subdue the rebels, and it can make all the rebels who dare to come to provoke them come to nothing back.

After listening outside the door for a while, Changsun Jingrong found that these men still had no intention of stopping. While lamenting how energetic these men could be without sleeping all night, he handed the breakfast to Bao'er and asked him to wait outside. He returned to the room with a few maidservants.

Sitting at the table, Changsun Jingrong thought for a moment, then asked Lei Qinger to call He Nuo.Not long after, He Nuo came in a hurry, with some water stains on his cheeks, as if he rushed over without even washing his face because of his haste.

First he greeted his eldest grandson Jingrong, and then He Nuo smiled and winked at Lei Qing'er, and Lei Qing'er lowered her head shyly, like the most delicate daffodil flower.

Bi He couldn't stand it any longer, so she knocked on the phone and said in a loud voice, "Hey, don't show us your sweetness early in the morning. How can you make us lonely and lonely?"

Sensing that the little action between herself and He Nuo was discovered, Lei Qing'er's face turned redder, and she hurriedly whispered: "Miss, don't blame me, this slave will pay more attention in the future."

Shaking his head helplessly, Changsun Jingrong said: "It's okay, the air in this capital is already lifeless, so it's good to have some lively people and things."

He Nuo straightened his back again after hearing Changsun Jingrong's words, patted his chest and said: "Look at our young lady, what you say is so sweet!"

"Okay, stop flattering, and listen carefully to what the lady called you for."

As soon as He Nuo heard about the business, He Nuo hurriedly turned serious, and said: "If there is anything wrong with Miss, just ask."

"I really have something to ask now, I want to ask you," Changsun Jingrong restrained his smile, looked at He Nuo and asked, "Do you know anything about the Arrowhead?"

"Of course, I've disassembled one before." He Nuo said hurriedly when he heard that it was something he was familiar with, "I don't know what arrangements Miss has?"

"The Ninth Prince now needs a skilled craftsman to help repair the crossbow machine to defend against foreign enemies. However, such a craftsman in the capital is really limited, or there may be, and it is difficult to find it in a short period of time. Since you have a good understanding of the crossbow machine If you understand, then go to the prince to see if he can help you."

After hearing this, He Nuo said confidently: "So that's the matter, don't worry, miss, I will definitely assist the prince with all my strength."

"However, you can only follow the Ninth Prince to repair that thing after you have changed your appearance, and see how to maintain it so that the machine can be used to its maximum effect."

The eldest grandson Jingrong suddenly made such a request, which made He Nuo feel suspicious. He touched the back of his head and asked, "Miss, why do you want me to disguise myself? Aren't we already safe now? We still need to be on guard." Who are you looking for? Or, is there someone beside the prince that we need to guard against?"

Casting a comforting look to He Nuo, Changsun Jingrong said: "That's not true, it's just that you are the secret weapon in this battle now, and your safety must be guaranteed. I'd rather I was thinking too much, But sometimes, you have to guard against it.”

In the second half of the sentence, He Nuo didn't really take it to heart, just grasped the previous sentence with a smirk, looked at Lei Qing'er proudly, and said flauntingly: "Hey, did you hear me, I'm a secret weapon! It's not covered!"

The girls couldn't stand his stinky look, so they couldn't help but said: "Don't be so stinky, you should study more quickly, and don't disappoint the young lady and the prince."

"Yes, you also said that you have only disassembled one crossbow machine, so you need to find pictures to familiarize yourself with it, so that you can use it skillfully, so as to help the prince relieve his worries."

Different from the playful tone of other girls, Lei Qing'er was still a little worried about He Nuo, because just now she heard a hint of ferocity from her eldest grandson Jingrong's tone, she couldn't help but look at He Nuo worriedly, and said: "You must be safe."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself. Besides, isn't the prince also in the palace, why does it make it seem like we are going to part ways." He Nuo couldn't help but teasingly said, scratching the tip of his eldest grandson Jingrong's nose funny.

Looking sideways at He Nuo, the eldest grandson Jingrong said with a smile: "The lord is in the palace, but the Arrow is not there. Naturally, you have to face the Arrow every day."

"Ah, doesn't that mean we're going to be separated from Qing'er?" He Nuo widened his eyes in surprise, and said with some regret, "I just returned to the capital with great difficulty, and I don't want to be separated from Qing'er."

"In the future, there will be opportunities for you to be lingering every day, but now, you should seize it," Changsun Jingrong said casually, resting his chin on one hand, "If you can make meritorious deeds, your wedding with Qing'er will be even more grand, and you What can be given to Qing'er is not only glory and wealth, but also honor. Isn't this what you want to pursue? Don't you want Qing'er to be just a businessman's wife? If you love her, you don't want to give her More honor?"

Changsun Jingrong's words were like throwing a stone in He Nuo's heart, causing waves in waves.Glancing at Lei Qing'er, He Nuo said resolutely: "Of course I want to, I want to give Qing'er the best! Miss, please assign me a task, I will definitely try my best to complete it."

Seeing He Nuo's passionate appearance, the smile on Changsun Jingrong's lips deepened, and he said slowly: "I don't have any demands, but you must do your best to assist the Ninth Prince. Before repelling the rebels, you may It will be hard work, but you have to firmly believe that all the hard work is worth it, and for your woman, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. When the crisis in the capital is lifted, you and Qing'er will have a happy life!"

Biting her lip, Lei Qing'er looked at He Nuo encouragingly, there were both worry and encouragement in her eyes, and more, expectations and hopes for the future.

Responding to Lei Qing'er's gaze, He Nuo felt as if a fire was burning in his body, giving him infinite power to support himself and create a better future for Lei Qing'er.

Just when Sima Xukong was at a loss for the Arrowhead, Changsun Jingrong sent He Nuo to his side, which made Sima Xukong even more powerful. Not only did he quickly reassemble the Arrowhead, but also re-adjusted all parts. , Assemble a more lethal machine.

However, these were all done in secret. Externally, Sima Xukong was still trying his best to find craftsmen to repair the crossbow machine. Internally, he followed He Nuo's suggestion. While strengthening the effectiveness of the crossbow machine, he also began to prepare to fight fire with fire. , decided to use poison to attack the rebels.

He Nuo's many suggestions made Sima Xukong feel refreshed and gave him a lot of new inspiration. He began to feel that the situation was slowly moving in his favor.

At the same time, the eldest grandson Jingrong was not idle either. Taking advantage of the lack of business to do now, he took the shop assistants to walk around the streets, on the one hand to see if there are people in need of help, on the other hand, to check Could there be any suspicious people in the capital?By doing so, on the one hand, it can bring good reputation to the eldest grandson Jingrong, and in the future, the business of her shop will be better after the turmoil is over.On the other hand, being familiar with the topography of the capital, if something really happened, it would be convenient to arrange it.

However, when the eldest grandson Jingrong was very busy, Aunt Chang found her and said that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her very much.When he saw Aunt Chang, Changsun Jingrong knew that, out of emotion and reason, he still wanted to see the Empress Dowager after all.

Entering the palace again, Changsun Jingrong found that the magnificent palace was lifeless, and every palace person walking through it had ashen faces, as if they were experiencing something terrible.In the originally bright palace, there is not even the slightest sound. Standing in it, one can only feel a bone-chilling chill.
