Concubine Gaomen(84)

What was supposed to come came.

Lin Yutong placed the information obtained by the scouts in front of Gan and said nothing.

Gan took it in his hand and looked at it, then frowned and looked at Lin Yutong: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"Weird? How strange? What do you want to say?" Lin Yutong looked towards Gan: "If you don't believe it, forget it. Let's stretch it for two more days?"

Gan glanced sideways at Lin Yutong: "You kid, did you choke on your beans? I mean, since we are only two days away from the capital, why haven't you received any report yet?"

Lin Yutong's brows slowly wrinkled: "This is what I want to find out too. But compared to the current situation, this is just a trivial issue." The key is not to waste time on this if you can't get to the bottom of it.

.

Mrs. Gan leaned back in the large chair and suddenly changed the subject: "There is no news about the consort until now?"

Of course there is news. This time 50,000 troops are approaching the capital, but the fourth master has not sent any news yet, and Mr. Gan said that he has not received any local report. Lin Yutong wondered if this was related to the fourth master. But no.

She couldn't tell Mr. Gan what the specific news was. In addition, Ms. Gan had always been very wary of Fourth Master, so she couldn't even tell Mr. Gan. Now that Mr. Gan asked this, Lin Yutong said: "There has never been any

News." No matter how much he said, he refused to say anything.

Mr. Gan shook his head: "The Marquis of Jingan is at the border. Although he arrived late, he will never watch 50,000 troops entering the border and do nothing. Even if it is too late to act, the news should have been sent. However, it has been half a month.

, there is no news at all. This is not normal. In addition, the prince-in-law left Beijing earlier than the Marquis of Jing'an, and still did not give you any more news. These two people behind the scenes... can be regarded as acting on their own initiative."

Lin Yutong didn't like to hear this, "I'm going to be out here, and I'm not going to accept your order." She stood up directly and said, "I'm going to the Royal Forest Army, and I'm leaving now. No matter what it is, we'll talk about it after this crisis has passed."

When Mrs. Gan saw that Lin Yutong really just left, she sat up and asked hurriedly: "Do you really have nothing else to ask?"

"Will you tell me if I ask?" Lin Yutong paused, without looking back, "When the clan encounters something like this... Nowadays, all the ministers in the dynasty, inside and outside the capital, don't know about it. You'd better think about how to deal with the aftermath.

?”

Mr. Gan just sat like that. Seeing that Lin Yutong had really left, he smiled helplessly. After a long time, he stretched out his hand, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said to Laifu on the side: "Please come, Prime Minister Guo and Mr. Fang.

"

Laifu responded and slowly retreated. He always felt a little frightened. Concubine Chen and Princess Yunyin didn't seem that close to each other.

Lin Yutong left the imperial study and went to Beichen Palace. She needed to change her clothes. She felt really exhausted. She hadn't slept for two days and two nights, and she spent most of the time jolting on the horse. She couldn't do it now.

After resting, we have to rush to the Royal Forest Army.

Aunt He came over and served Lin Yutong while she was eating. She said with some apology in her voice: "I'm sorry! Girl, this old slave is confused."

"Mommy, I don't blame you." Lin Yutong saw that Aunt He had become haggard after only two days, so she advised, "The things here are complicated. They have nothing to do with you."

Aunt He shook her head with some bitterness, poured some soup for Lin Yutong and handed it over, then advised: "You can't run away like this, it's unbearable. The adults in the court are not freeloaders. I'm afraid the master knows it well."

."

This is probably because he is afraid of another conflict with the Gan family.

"No." Lin Yutong finished the meal in a few mouthfuls, "Don't worry, I know what I know." After saying that, he drank the soup in one breath. He wiped his face casually, put on his big cloak and hurriedly

Run out.

She suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Wen Cai killed Xu Kill too simply. Her attention was diverted at that time, but she ignored a very important thing.

Wencai never expected that Lin Yutong would come out of the palace so soon and would see him as soon as he returned home.

"Your Highness." He was really trembling as he stood in front of Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong looked him up and down: "Have you explained everything clearly to Wenya and Wenwu?"

Both of them were very fooled, so it was easy to explain. However, the two of them found it a little hard to accept Liao Xu's death. Wencai nodded, wondering why she asked this, so she just said: "Yes!

Explained clearly."

Lin Yutong's eyes narrowed: "Wencai, you gave Xu a knife at that time. Although the person would not die, he would not be able to wake up in a short time. So, I simply killed Xu at that time. Because from his mouth

, I can no longer get the information I am eager to get. When I say this, you can understand what I mean."

Wen Cai glanced at Lin Yutong in astonishment: "Your Highness suspects that I have concealed important information?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Yutong snorted, "Your people were ordered to replace the urgent report. The report of success to the palace and the so-called true information to the prince were all fake. So, where did it really go?"

Wen Cai pursed his lips and revealed a bitter smile: "To be honest, it's not that I intentionally concealed it, but that His Highness may not believe what I said."

"This is strange." Lin Yutong looked at Wencai in confusion, "What is it that makes you think I won't believe it? You didn't say it, so how do you know I won't believe it?"

Wencai hesitated for a moment, then sighed, stretched out his hand to lift up the hem of his robe, and then tore it apart with his hands, and a plain white silk handkerchief fell out. He raised his hands and handed it to Lin Yutong: "This is the one at that time.

It was an emergency report. After getting it, there was no way to understand what it meant. If we put this thing back, no one would believe that the emergency report was true. On the contrary, it was a fake emergency report made by ourselves, which is even more trustworthy.

Believe some."

Lin Yutong took a look at Wencai and opened the silk handkerchief. There was not a single word on the silk handkerchief, but a hunting picture. But with just one glance, Lin Yutong confirmed that this was a real emergency report. Because no matter how you look at the picture, there are four

Grandpa’s handiwork.

The background of the whole picture is very strange. It is not a grassland or a mountain forest, but a crop field. The wheat stubble in the crop field is still covered with snow. There are villages in the distance. Green smoke is still rising from the chimneys of people's houses. Even the hangings on the door

The lanterns hanging on it are clearly visible. If you don't look at the animal figures on it and just look at the background, this landscape picture looks very quiet and peaceful. Anyone who looks at the hunting picture in such a background will feel that they have no common sense. Lin Yutong went carefully

Looking down, she had to know what Fourth Master wanted to express through such a painting. There were five wolves in the picture, and behind the wolves were two people. The relationship between the two people and the wolves was not like the relationship between the hunter and the hunted.

If a wolf is drawn as a dog, then this picture means a hunter taking a dog out to hunt. But this picture shows a wolf, and the relationship between the wolf and the person behind it is somewhat harmonious. Lin Yutong will

His eyes fell on the characters in the painting. They were wearing Bei Liao clothes, but their faces were undoubtedly Han. Looking at the five wolves again, there seemed to be differences. The leading wolf was different from the four behind them.

The first wolf is different. The eyes of the other four wolves are green, but the leader is not. Not only is it not, the tail seems to be a little upward. Lin Yutong's heart beats. This wolf looks like a wolf.

But it doesn't look like it wants to eat people, and it has a dog's tail. Could this mean that it is a wolf that has been tamed by Fourth Master? If so, then the people in the surrounding farmland have not been tamed.

There is a reason why it is still peaceful and peaceful despite disturbing you. This is all the credit of this wolf. Further down, in the fog in the distance, there seems to be a city looming, and on the outside of the city, there are four hunters holding bows and arrows.

The arc surrounded the wolf. The direction pointed by the arrow was not exactly the four wolves with green eyes.

Lin Yutong suddenly put away the silk handkerchief. She thought that she already understood the meaning inside. The first wolf represented the collaborator, and it led the remaining four wolves into the encirclement. Because of it, and the disguise of Bei

The Liao people and the Han people sandwiched these four wolves in the middle. As a result, these wolves had no time and opportunity to cause harm along the way. They did not know that the companions in front had betrayed, and they did not know that the people behind were not theirs at all.

The same kind. So, he was led into the encirclement in such a confused manner. And this encirclement was the message that the Fourth Master passed on to him. Five wolves are fifty thousand horses. Correspondingly, the four people outside the city, the Fourth Master

It means that at least 40,000 troops are needed to set up this encirclement. The 40,000 on our side, plus the 20,000 following behind, a total of 60,000, can completely encircle and suppress these 40,000. Even if the wolf ends up

They bared their fangs and wanted to take a bite. With 60,000 people against 50,000 people, they had an advantage just in terms of numbers. In addition, our side was waiting for work, and there was no chance of any other discrepancies. Not to mention victory, even total annihilation.

possible.

Her heart was pounding. Just from the meaning revealed in this picture, she knew how much the Fourth Master had done during this period. Not to mention taming the Crossbow Army, in such a short period of time,

It is not something that ordinary people can do to disintegrate Bei Liao from within.

Now for me, the question is where to set up this encirclement?

She unfolded the picture again and took a closer look. The lantern hanging at the door of the common people's house was a lantern. If it were a lantern for ordinary lighting, it would not look like this. Then, it could only be a colorful lantern hanging on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Deng. Fourth Master is equivalent to revealing a rough time to himself. This time is after the Lantern Festival. Comparing it with the news received now, the time is right again. In other words, his understanding is not wrong.

She looked at the vague city wall again, and upon closer inspection, she realized that the city wall was not the city wall of the capital, because there were no watchtowers around the capital. The one with the watchtower happened to be Wanping.

Lin Yutong took a breath and suddenly felt more at ease, "Let's go! Go to the Royal Forest Army!"

Wencai really couldn't see what Lin Yutong saw from this painting, but he still followed him and walked away. As he walked, he explained, "Your Highness, you must understand the reason why I didn't take it out before. If I had understood Xu Jiang's

If the real urgent report was given to Concubine Chen or to the prince, neither of these two people would believe it. Concubine Chen would only think that Xu was playing tricks in the middle... So, that false urgent report was really a mistake, and

It’s a game that has to be set down.”

Yes! If the Gan family had not used this matter to eliminate the prince, Liao Xu would not have thought of this idea, and almost missed this urgent report. And the fourth master's plan was very different from that of his teammates Zhu.

Wrong and ruined.

Lin Yutong didn't speak, she felt a little complicated. Gan had her reasons, but she had to say it because her selfish desires almost made things irreversible.

When it got dark, Lin Yutong saw Wen Yunshan. Instead of talking nonsense, she took out the fourth master's picture and explained her understanding to Wen Yunshan.

Wen Yunshan stared at the picture for a long time, "Your Highness, are you sure about this? If there is even the slightest error in your understanding, it will be a big deviation. That will cause big trouble."

Anyone can guess wrong, but Fourth Master himself will never guess wrong.

Lin Yutong glanced in the direction of the capital, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not wrong. Therefore, you have to discuss with General Xu how to deploy troops and generals. As for the palace's decree, you don't have to worry about it at all. I will take care of it for you.

With."

Wen Yunshan took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I will risk everything this time! But once the strength of the Royal Forest Army is concentrated, there will be a gap in the defense line in other places. In any case, some troops should still be deployed. Therefore, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Forbidden City

The Guards should dispatch some people to set up defenses. If His Highness's information is correct, these people will not face the enemy head-on. But we still need to take necessary precautions."

Lin Yutong frowned, "Then please ask the commander to prepare dry food for me. I will return to Beijing soon. The Imperial Guard... I will find a way to persuade you."

Wen Yunshan looked at Lin Yutong, who had a tired face and black eyes, "Your Highness... you have worked really hard!"

You can walk alone every day. No one can bear it.

Lin Yutong smiled bitterly. She had no one to use, but she couldn't convince the stubborn Gan. She picked up the teapot on one side and poured the herbal tea into her mouth. When she was full, she raised her hand to Wen Yunshan and saluted:

"Commander, I'm leaving this to you!"

"My family is in the capital. Don't worry. Even if it's for the lives of the whole family, I won't dare to be careless in the slightest." Wen Yunshan avoided Lin Yutong's gift and returned the gift. This princess is not easy either.
