Although Wang Yue knew it in his heart, he still frowned and pretended to be a little uncertain and said, "Is there a problem in the eastern part of Sha as well?"

Jia Ling did not expect Wang Yue to think of it so quickly, so he continued, "Ming Wang is wise, it is true. At that time, it happened that the two younger brothers of Queen Zhaojie were threatened by the Minister of Rites for occupying the pasture, so Queen Zhaojie's father also gave up the queen.

Later, Empress Zhaojie died in Yaoyue Tower. Emperor An said that it was Ren Xin, a member of the Red Guard, who killed her, but I think it was Emperor An who killed her, or she burned herself to death. "

"Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

As soon as Jialing finished speaking, Ruyi's voice came over. Her voice was a little cold, and everyone could feel that she was very unhappy.

Jia Ling looked at Ruyi with some confusion, and she felt that she was familiar with him. After a while, she asked in shock, "Ren Xin?! You are still alive."

Ruyi nodded and asked solemnly, "Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

Although Jialing was shocked, she was smarter. Ruyi could enter and leave Wang Yue's tent at will, which obviously showed that they had a close relationship.

Therefore, Jialing became very honest, first shook his head, and then immediately said with certainty, "I believe that Empress Zhaojie's father will definitely not give up Empress Zhaojie so easily.

I think it must be the Second Prince who wrote the letter himself and told Queen Zhaojie's father that the Emperor had agreed to make him the Crown Prince, which made Duke Cui give up Queen Zhaojie.

If you don't believe me, you can send someone to see Duke Cui, but don't ask him about what happened back then. I think if there are enough benefits, he will be willing to tell the truth."

Ruyi frowned and said to Wang Yue solemnly, "In that case, let me take care of the contact with Eastern Sha. I can take this opportunity to ask Duke Cui. I think with Shentu Chi's interest in this, he will tell me the truth."

Wang Yue saw that Ruyi had made up his mind. He hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this? I will arrange for Dagou to be the envoy to visit Eastern and Central Saudi Arabia. You go with him. If there is any danger, you should come back quickly. Dagou and his men will find a way to escape."

Ruyi knew that Wang Yue was worried about her, but he still didn't stop her, which touched her heart. She said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

When she said this, she looked at Wang Yue meaningfully. The meaning was very clear: her child had not been born yet and would definitely not die just like that.

Wang Yue also understood what was going on, so he said helplessly, "Go ahead. If you are ever in danger, I will lead my army to attack the two tribes with all my might. As long as they don't want to be destroyed, they will definitely let you go."

Seeing Wang Yue say this, Ruyi said unhappily, "You are just boasting. The entire Ming army has only 100,000 soldiers, most of whom are newly enlisted men. What can you use to fight against An Guo?"

Wang Yue said as a matter of course, "Of course I can't beat An Guo, but I can cripple him. In the future, no matter whether it is the other countries or the Su and Qi countries, they will not mind taking advantage of the situation to rob us."

Seeing that Wang Yue was not joking, Ruyi said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. Her steps became very light, no longer the gloomy look she had when she came in just now.

Jia Ling was somewhat envious when he saw this scene, but he still pretended to be serious and asked, "My king, do you want me to contact the trusted people in the Red Guards and ask them to pass on the message in time?"

Wang Yue saw Jia Ling saying this, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it. The news that you have been trapped in our Ming army must have spread. If you take the initiative to contact them now, you will put yourself in danger."

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Jialing was very happy. She felt that Wang Yue cared so much about her, so it was okay for her to give something for him.

So, she quickly said, "Sir, don't worry, I have been running Anguo for such a long time and I still have some confidants. I will definitely be safe."

Wang Yue didn't know why Jia Ling was so proactive. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then how about this? You write some letters and I'll arrange for someone to deliver them. As long as you don't show up, I think even if the people I arranged are exposed, they want to lure you out, so they won't act right away. Instead, you'll all be safe."

Jialing was completely moved at this moment. Wang Yue knew that she only needed to take some risks to get some useful information, but she was still unwilling to take the risk.

She immediately said, "Thank you for your care, sir. I will write a letter later and you can arrange someone to pass it to other confidants for me."

Wang Yue saw Jia Ling was so touched, which made him realize something. He might as well give this woman some sweetness, so he hurriedly said, "In that case, take my warrant and contact Changfeng Escort Agency. This is organized by our people. Not all of them are our people. In order to conceal our presence, a large number of employees are ordinary people.

If you ask them to help pass on the message, they will also deliver it as if they were escorts. Normally, no one will notice it, but the speed will be slower. "

Jialing understood that this was one of the hidden forces in Wang Yue's hands. Now that he knew about it, he was very moved.

She quickly bowed respectfully, and then said solemnly, "Sir, I will certainly not let you down, and I will definitely develop Changfeng Escort Agency into the most powerful escort agency in the Nine Kingdoms."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Jialing had misunderstood him. He originally just wanted Jialing to use the Changfeng Escort Agency to deliver the message.

Now that Jia Ling wanted to develop the Changfeng Escort Agency, he simply said seriously, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'm counting on you!"

Seeing that Wang Yue really gave it to him, Jia Ling bowed respectfully to Wang Yue again, and then said excitedly, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Wudu, Danyang Palace

After reading the letter, the King of Danyang pounded the table in anger and said angrily, "These guys who are always causing trouble but not doing anything good have been caught!"

Seeing his nephew so angry, Yongping Hou said with some shame, "Xingjian, what do you think we should do now? The Ming King has already caught us, and he actually wants us to fight for a throne for him, and he wants it to be hereditary! What should we do?"

King Danyang sighed and said helplessly, "What else can we do? He has already got evidence against us. Once he makes it public, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the emperor anymore."

Yongping Hou frowned and said uneasily, "But if we do this, the five cities he has occupied will be completely hidden in his fiefdom, and we will never be able to get them back."

King Danyang sighed and said somewhat depressedly, “He has 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in his small five cities, so it is impossible for us to take them back.

Moreover, if we don’t agree to his request, he might just send the delegation to Anguo. When my brother comes back, it will be difficult for me to keep the throne.”

Yongping Hou hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "How about this? At the grand court meeting tomorrow, I will be the first to propose that Wang Yue be crowned king, and see what the officials say first."

King Danyang seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he said seriously, "Thank you, uncle! This is also very safe."

Yongping Hou could clearly see that his nephew was waiting for him to say this. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Are you being polite to your uncle? We all prosper together and suffer together."

……

Andu, the Imperial Palace

After Emperor An was lost in Cangsongling, he felt that Guideyuan was not safe at all, so he led the Imperial Guards back to Wudu.

But just as he came back, Li Tongguang's letter came over. After reading the letter, he was a little shocked and said, "Shentu Chi and Huyan Zan were captured alive? How is this possible? Didn't they say they died in battle?"

The person in charge of delivering the message was Deng Hui. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I asked around in He County and heard that Hu Yanzan fell off his horse in the chaos of the army. After the battle, he was taken to He County. As for Shentu Chi, I really don't know."

Emperor An's reaction was even more angry than King Danyang's. He said angrily, "The civil officials died for their advice, and the military officials died for their battles. I treated all these generals well, but none of them were willing to fight to the death. No wonder Cangsongling and Xucheng were lost so easily! They all deserve to die!"

Deng Hui did not dare to respond. He lowered his head and asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Emperor An hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Then Wang Yue said he wanted to negotiate. Does he also have his eyes on gold?"

He is a money-loving person, and in his eyes, others also love money, so he asked this question without thinking.

After hearing this, Deng Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly, "Now that the gold is in their hands, it stands to reason that they don't have to negotiate with us."

Emperor An frowned and said in confusion, "You are right. They can take the gold but still want to negotiate. It seems that they don't want to conflict with us. So what is the meaning of them taking Changsongling?"

Seeing Emperor An say this, Deng Hui said uncertainly, "Does he just want to demonstrate to us?"

Emperor An hesitated for a moment and felt that it was possible. Otherwise, he would have taken advantage of the situation to attack. Now as long as the other party wanted to negotiate, there would be no problem.

So he said seriously, "Go back and tell Li Tongguang to try his best to keep the gold. All conditions can be negotiated."

Deng Hui quickly said respectfully, "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. He still needed to hurry back to the county.

After Deng Hui left, Emperor An was still a little worried, so he said to the eunuch beside him, "Give me an order to summon the leaders of the Hedong and Hedong tribes to come to Andu!"

Chapter 251: For the Ming Dynasty!

Shadong, Cui Guogong Mansion

When Duke Cui heard that an old friend wanted to see him, although he was a little suspicious, he still sent someone to let him in and waited in the reception room.

After meeting Ruyi, he felt as if he didn't know her, so he asked in confusion, "Who are you? I don't seem to know you, why do you call me an old friend?"

Ruyi was wearing a human skin mask at the moment. She did not take it off, but said very seriously, "I am someone close to Empress Zhaojie. I was persecuted by Emperor An five years ago, so I fled. Today I have something important to tell you, so I came to ask for an audience."

When Duke Cui heard Ruyi mention his sister, he immediately felt ashamed, because his sister died for them.

He felt upset, so he asked solemnly, "How can I trust you?"

Ruyi did not answer directly, but shook her head and said solemnly, "You don't have to believe me, Duke. As long as you answer a few questions, I will definitely give you an unexpected benefit."

Duke Cui was stunned for a moment, and then he asked curiously, "What benefits can you bring?"

Ruyi smiled and said, "Do you still remember General Shentu? As long as you answer one question, we will send General Shentu back and let you repay the Shentu family."

When Duke Cui heard Ruyi mention General Shentu, he immediately became alert and asked in confusion, "Are you the King's man?"

Ruyi shook her head and said seriously, "I am Queen Zhaojie's man. I just have some deals with King Ming. He is willing to do me a favor. Can he let me exchange General Shentu for a few questions?"

Duke Cui started to think in his mind that if he saved General Shentu, then the influence of their Cui family in Shadong would be greatly expanded, and they could completely regain the position of tribal leader.

He thought that they could make a deal, so he asked solemnly, "What question do you want to ask? How can I trust you?"

Ruyi smiled and said, "Does the Duke remember Ren Xin? She is a close confidant of Empress Zhaojie, and she is now the fiancée of Prince Xiao Ming. Do you think she is trustworthy?"

Duke Cui's eyes lit up when he heard this. Ren Xin was his sister's confidant, and he didn't believe that Ren Xin would betray his sister. He also felt that the girl died with his sister, and Emperor An was just looking for someone to take the blame.

But he didn't expect that the woman was still alive, which made Duke Cui feel a little surprised and a little happy.

The current emperor has caused great harm to their Eastern Shah family, especially their Cui family. It was because they supported the emperor in the first place that they suffered heavy losses and were unable to completely control Eastern Shah.

What no one expected was that after Emperor An ascended the throne, he did not help the eastern part of Shatuo consolidate its position at all, and he deliberately cultivated people from the eldest prince's lineage in order to check and balance them.

And if the queen of King Xiao Ming is Ren Xin, then King Xiao Ming will be the foreign aid of their Eastern Sha in the future, or should we say, the foreign aid of their Cui family, who can help them regain the initiative in Eastern Sha.

Thinking of this, he said solemnly, "We can not talk about General Shentu's matter. Let me finish asking your questions first. After that, please help me tell Ren Xinchuan a message."

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Duke, please tell me your question first. I'm afraid that after I ask you questions in vain, Lord Ruyi won't be able to do it."

Duke Cui said very seriously, "I would like to ask Miss Ren to persuade the young King Ming to help our Cui family regain the initiative in the eastern part of Sha."

Ruyi didn't expect it was because of this. She thought of what Jialing said. The Cui family was caught by someone at that time. It seemed that this handle would cause serious harm to them.

And this enemy is most likely the eldest prince's man, which is why Duke Cui must ask for external aid.

She said solemnly, "After I go back, I will definitely tell the Duke what he said. Lord Ren asked me to come here to ask the Duke, the Second Prince, whether he has written a letter to persuade the old Duke to give up Queen Zhaojie."

Duke Cui nodded and said helplessly, "To be honest, if it was just the Second Prince who wrote the letter, my father might not really give up on my sister. After all, my father values ​​my sister very much.

But at that time, we two younger brothers were not good enough and were caught by others. If it was disclosed, we would all be sentenced to death. My father had no choice but not to stand up for my sister.

But because of this incident, my father was very depressed and died within two years! The entire eastern part of Sha was also taken away by the Ji family. "

Ruyi didn't expect Jialing really didn't lie to Wang Yue, so she said solemnly, "In that case, then the Duke should be ready. After I go back, I will discuss with King Ming about the surprise attack on the Ji family ranch."

When Duke Cui heard Ruyi's decision, he was very happy and said respectfully, "If this matter is accomplished in the future, our Cui family will lead the eastern part of Sha to join King Ming."

Ruyi was very happy to hear Duke Cui say this. She discussed some details with Duke Cui, and then asked someone to pass the news to Wang Yue. She herself led people to monitor Duke Cui.

……

Jingcheng, Changfeng Escort Agency,

After Jialing arrived here, he also met Wang Changfeng, the chief of Changfeng Escort Agency.

After Wang Changfeng saw the letter Jia Ling sent, he frowned and said, "Sir, the master said that you can give us any letter you have to deliver. We guarantee that the letter will not go through any twists and turns and will be delivered directly to the target person. You can rest assured."

Seeing that Wang Changfeng just wanted to send a letter, Jia Ling said solemnly, "The brothers in the mountain stronghold have paid a lot to capture several cities this time, and many of them will be promoted and make a fortune in the future.

I'm going to say something that the chief escort may not like to hear, but I'm afraid that Changfeng Escort Agency has made little contribution this time, and the rewards in the future may not be much."

Wang Changfeng looked at Jialing's determined attitude and frowned as he asked, "From Miss Jialing's perspective, what should our Changfeng Escort Agency do?"

Jia Ling smiled calmly and said, "Of course, it is to help An Guo's forces to join the Ming King. As long as it can be done, Changfeng Escort Agency will definitely be included in the future when it comes to rewarding merits."

Wang Changfeng frowned and asked in confusion, "To be honest with you, Miss Jialing, the young master has already sent people to contact the eastern and central parts of Sha. It might be redundant for us to contact them again."

Jia Ling knew, of course, because some of the letters were probably delivered by Changfeng Escort Agency, so she said seriously, "I'm talking about the western part of Sha."

Wang Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then he said with some doubt, "There is a most favored imperial concubine in the palace in the Western Region of Sha. How could they betray Emperor An?"

Jia Ling shook his head and said with a smile, "She is just a concubine, not a queen. As long as Shaxi is willing to cooperate, King Ming can afford a concubine position."

Wang Changfeng felt a little excited when he heard this. While other colleagues were making great efforts, he didn't want to just wait there.

Therefore, he asked solemnly, "Miss Jialing, the people in the western part of Sha are strictly controlled by Duke Chu. We don't have a chance to get them."

Jia Ling was well prepared. She said calmly, "I'm afraid the chief escort forgot one person."

Wang Changfeng pondered for a while, then asked doubtfully, "Who?"

Seeing that Wang Changfeng didn't notice, Jia Ling said seriously, "Jinming County Princess!"

After being reminded by Jia Ling, Wang Changfeng said excitedly, "The girl is right. Princess Jinming's mother is a princess and her father is a duke. The emperor arranged for her to marry the son of a concubine. It is really a humiliation for her."

Seeing that Wang Changfeng finally understood, Jia Ling smiled and said, "Yes, she controls 30% of the power of Shadong. As long as she strikes unexpectedly, she can completely control Shadong.

If Miss Ruyi can deal with the eastern and central parts of Shah, King Ming will not need their help at all and can deal with Emperor An's Yulin Guards by himself.

By then, the three tribes would simply have changed their emperor, which would have had no impact on them at all.

But for us, it’s different, we are the dragon’s followers.”

In fact, if the master really changes, it will still have an impact on the three tribes, but the leaders of the three new tribes are all the beneficiaries.

Thinking of this, Wang Changfeng asked the most crucial question, "Miss Jialing, we are not familiar with Princess Jinming. Could it be that Miss Jialing knows Princess Jinming?"
