GBP Chapter 266 Almost Exposed
Chapter 266 Almost Exposed
Qian Yuan left Prince Li's study and walked slowly towards his own courtyard.
Although his steps were slow, his mood was uneasy.
Given the current situation, the more chaotic it is, the better.
Jiang Zhu had no intention of competing.
No matter who sits on that position, it is not as reliable as someone with the blood of the Nalan family.
The stigma of the Nalan family still needs to be removed by the new emperor.
The best candidate is Jiang Zhu.
Qian Yuan returned to the yard and quickly wrote a secret letter using the Nalan family's unique communication method.
"Little eagle, go and tell your master! When you come back, don't forget to bring back a rabbit, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Qian Yuan fed the eagle some meat, then stuffed the secret letter into a copper tube and carefully tied it to the eagle.
"Go! You're not quiet in your room, but you played outside and forgot to come back."
Qian Yuan deliberately released the eagle outside, causing quite a stir.
He made such a big noise and acted contrary to the norm, but did not arouse the suspicion of the patrolmen.
"Mr. Qian, why did you let him out at night?" Lin Ge happened to be taking a walk outside and saw this scene.
Qian Yuan remained calm, "We have kept it in the house for the past few days, and it has been making a lot of noise. It is really too noisy tonight, so we might as well let it go outside to have some free time for a few days. County Magistrate Lin, are you still awake?"
This person is difficult to deal with. The only way to deal with him is to be more patient than him.
Qian Yuan had something in mind and started to argue with the person in front of him.
"I have a hard time falling asleep after changing places. From now on, Mr. Qian and I will be colleagues and neighbors. Mr. Qian, you can just call me Yu Ru. I wonder what your courtesy name is?"
Lin Ge had a smile on his face and was very humble.
"I don't have a courtesy name, I'm just Qianyuan. Yu Ru gave up his position as a county magistrate and instead entered the palace to abide by the palace's rules." Qianyuan's smile was even more fake than his, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and speaking a mixture of true and false words.
"Of course it's better to stay with the prince! I have always admired the prince, and it is my honor to stay in Prince Li's mansion this time. By the way, Mr. Qian's eagle can also deliver letters, right? It should be much faster than a carrier pigeon."
Lin Ge was constantly observing his expression, trying to find flaws in it.
Unfortunately, Qian Yuan was calmer than Lin Ge. He chuckled and said, "I rescued this eagle when I went hunting in the mountains. It has been refusing to leave. I didn't try to train it to be a carrier pigeon because it has a wild temperament and is difficult to train."
Qianyuan simply took him to talk about the origin of the eagle and some interesting stories, and he believed them all, both true and false.
They chatted until midnight and Lin Ge couldn't stand it anymore, so he said goodbye.
Qian Yuan stared at his back coldly, "You are far from being able to fight me! Do you really think that you have experience just because you are old? The heritage of the family is beyond the imagination of you people."
Lin Ge had just talked about a lot of the scenery and interesting things in the capital, and Qian Yuan agreed with him repeatedly in order not to arouse suspicion.
The first confrontation between the two gave Qian Yuan a wake-up call.
I will follow Jiang Zhu's instructions from now on and not use eagles to deliver messages. I almost got exposed today.
Lin Ge had sharp eyes, and I don’t know what he saw.
......
Jiang Zhu did not get up early this time. He had been studying the black stone recently and went to bed late at night.
As soon as he got up, Changhe came in holding Ying, "General, there's more news coming in."
"Flew here overnight?" Jiang Zhu looked at the eagle, which seemed a little listless, and touched its feathers.
"Yes! I wonder what news is so important that one would risk being discovered to deliver it."
Changhe was also a little helpless. The people of the Nalan family were stubborn and had their own ideas. They were indeed difficult to control.
"No news from Shanyin yet?"
Jiang Zhu was most concerned about two places, fearing that these two people would be in danger.
They all have the opportunity to get close to the vassal king, and if they are not careful, they will lose their lives.
"Yes, the last news came. But Shanyin is not doing well. Wei Dayong is always making trouble. He is not sure whether the two sisters Jinhua can come."
Changhe usually checks the letters in advance to avoid being clueless when Jiang Zhu asks.
"By the way, Jinhua, the person sent from the capital, has been released. Shanyin said that Jinhua disappeared on the road several times for quite a long time, and no one knows what she was doing."
Changhe reminded him again, he felt there was something strange here.
"It would be best if we could bring the two sisters here. Our foundation in Yuzhou is weak. If the remaining forces of the Hua family arrive in Yuzhou, it will be much easier for us."
Jiang Zhu did not dare to use people from Yuzhou easily. He could not take many people from Yanzhou with him, so he could only set his sights on the Hua family.
He didn't believe that this family of military generals didn't have any trump cards in their hands.
"Jinhua's sister Yinwu doesn't like Shanyin, but Shanyin, who doesn't understand romance, said that the marriage must be arranged by the parents and the matchmaker, and the couple must be of equal social status. This idiot, just agree first and then regret it when you return to Yuzhou."
Changhe muttered a few words under his breath.
"Don't think about taking shortcuts all the time. In this world, true love is the only thing that can move people."
Jiang Zhu heard what he said very clearly and felt a little dissatisfied.
"A real man should be upright and aboveboard. I agree with Shanyin. If you promise, you must do it. Marriage is not a joke. How can it be used as a bargaining chip?"
Chang He was reprimanded early in the morning and felt unhappy. "Yes, yes, I just wanted him to finish the mission quickly so that the general wouldn't worry about his safety. Stay away from this guy in the future, he's so stubborn."
He was complaining, but Jiang Zhu ignored him.
"Go feed the eagle and let it have a good rest." The two places are not close to each other, so it must have flown all night.
Jiang Zhu naturally felt distressed.
He pulled out the copper tube, took out the letter inside, and sent them out.
"Yes!" Changhe left happily without listening to the scolding anymore.
Jiang Zhu opened the letter, and it was still written using the special method of the Nalan family.
He took out a special lamp and toasted the letter over the candlelight. A sweet smell mixed with honey filled the tent.
"The prince was expelled, the eighth prince had a broken leg, and has no hope of becoming emperor. In addition, the emperor has another beloved son who may be hiding among the people. His mother is unknown, so you need to pay attention. The garrison in Jucheng has returned to the capital, and the number of troops is unknown. Regarding the Wei family affairs, Concubine Lian is interfering, and the emperor is using her own tricks to defeat them. The princes are all pawns. The emperor wants to use the resources of the Wei family to give them to his beloved son."
Just a few words reveal a lot of information.
Jiang Zhu quickly wrote a reply, only reminding Qian Yuan not to pry into the matter, not to act rashly, and to protect himself.
But after a while, the long river disappeared again.
Jiang Zhu could only put the letter away and ask Eagle to deliver it at night or tomorrow.
Several waves of foreign invaders have been repelled in the past few days, and it is rare that they have peace today.
This letter once again broke the rare peace.
If Jiang Chi hadn't made a name for himself these few times, he wouldn't have had the time to think about what the capital and Prince Li were going to do.
Beijing.
The group of people that Jinhua had let go hurriedly arrived before the emperor in just two days.
"Your Majesty, the Ming King is planning a rebellion."
