Chapter 520 Confession
While the people of Yancheng were fishing and collecting food, they consciously formed a patrol team and ran around the city all day long.
Xincheng is most famous for the perversion of the city lord, and the second most famous is their army.
There is a perverted city lord, and the soldiers he leads will follow his master.
Maybe they don't have the ability to fight one against a hundred, but they can still fight five against one.
There are only two thousand soldiers in Yancheng now, which sounds like a lot, but these days, due to physical exertion and weather conditions, many people are sick.
The number of civilian patrols has just exceeded 1,000, but they do not have a solid foundation. They may be able to fight on weekdays, but if they want to fight on the battlefield, they are still far away.
Since Xincheng has sent people to inquire about the situation, it means that they have already thought of attacking Yancheng.
Now we don't know how many soldiers and horses they have, nor what the situation of food and grass is. Everyone can only prepare for the worst.
Shen Wenchen and Liu Jie led the troops in drills all day long, and Aze and others took on the task of daily patrols and inspections of deployments in various places.
Sun Cui was in confinement, and Nanzhi was also pregnant. The city lord only did things cautiously in the palace, for fear of disturbing them.
As for those kids, they ran to the training ground all day long.
Shen Wenchen didn't care about them and let them stand beside the team and follow the training. As long as they didn't disturb everyone, he let them go.
The relationship between Shen Miaomiao and Su Tao also eased a little, and at least the two of them could sit in the same courtyard and drink tea.
"Miaomiao, do you have any news from Kyoto?"
Su Tao hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice what was on her mind.
She only heard that Princess Yunhua in Kyoto had succeeded to the throne, and that the consort and the general were fighting everywhere.
But I don’t know the other situation in Kyoto.
She was a little curious.
What is Lu Fengyun's condition now?
When he was in Kyoto, he only knew that while he was relying on himself to win over the people, he was also trying to get involved with people in the palace.
But who was that person? She was still unwilling to get the exact answer.
Shen Miaomiao's hand when pouring tea paused, and she secretly glanced at Su Tao opposite, and then she asked.
"What do you want to ask?"
"I, I just wanted to ask how Kyoto is recovering now."
"Kyoto has recovered very well. We have killed all those who deserve to be killed, and the ones left behind are the good ones."
Shen Miaomiao probably guessed that she wanted to ask Mr. Lu, but she refused to tell him directly.
That person Twelve's letter actually said that when he was in Kyoto, Mr. Lu was the one who was praised by everyone.
In the end, no one expected that while he was stepping on Su Tao, he tried every means to enter the palace, just to establish a relationship with Princess Yunhua.
After all the calculations, it turned out to be eleven.
According to Twelve, Eleven fell in love with the daughter of a noodle stall in Kyoto, and she ended up getting married early. But he didn't know that when he was about to propose marriage, he saw her fiancé going to help at the stall.
Feeling uncomfortable, he simply thought of drowning his sorrows with wine, and after having so many options to choose from, he ended up going to that hotpot restaurant again.
He was already in a bad mood, and when he encountered a playboy teasing a woman, he simply came to save her as a hero.
I don’t know if he is a hero or not, but the beauty is none other than Princess Yunhua who happened to sneak out of the palace.
The little princess fell in love at first sight and insisted on committing herself to him. Eleven found her annoying. The little princess became jealous at that time. After returning to the palace, she inquired about his identity and made a fuss about recruiting him as her consort.
Shiyi didn't dare to resist the order, and wanted to say that she had someone in her heart, but the girl was already engaged, so she couldn't ruin her reputation any more.
On the one hand, the imperial edict is irresistible, and on the other hand, Princess Yunhua is stalking her in disguise.
As a result, Eleven rejected the annoying girl, thinking that the princess would never be a talkative, so she accepted the imperial edict.
When the two met, Eleven realized that he was on the wrong track.
After getting along with her for a while, it was unexpected. Although Princess Yunhua looked naughty and noisy, she was extremely intelligent and capable of both civil and military affairs. She was not a very squeamish woman.
After going back and forth, Eleven was really moved.
This is how he "fighted for power" came about.
Because Princess Yunhua had always had a reputation for being naughty and beautiful, Lu Fengyun often used the various rouges and gouache in Su Tao's shop to go to the palace.
Yun Hua had no interest in any of this, and they didn't even exchange a few words with each other, but it was different with the concubines in the harem.
As time passed, some rumors started to spread.
Only then did Princess Yunhua clean up the harem after taking the throne, and suppress the officials of the previous dynasty.
The Minister of Household Affairs lost face and was demoted. Naturally, Lu Fengyun's situation at home was not much better.
Until now, he still didn't understand where such a prince-in-law came from.
When Su Tao heard Shen Miaomiao saying that everyone who deserved to be killed would be killed, Su Tao's heart trembled and she actually felt a little worried.
Will Lu Fengyun also be beheaded?
"Are you asking a friend?"
Knowing that she had gone too far, Shen Miaomiao asked again.
"I want to ask the young master of the household minister's family."
Su Tao knew that Shen Miaomiao had stayed in Kyoto for such a long time, and she had heard somewhat about her and Lu Fengyun's affairs.
But she felt uneasy, and she didn't care what Shen Miaomiao would think of her. It was better to find out the result than to feel uneasy all the time.
"The Minister of Household Affairs has been demoted. Mr. Lu's situation will not be very good. With the connections in the harem, I'm afraid there will not be too many people who will make things difficult for him."
After a moment of silence, Su Tao softly thanked him.
"Thank you."
Seeing that her mood was a little low, Shen Miaomiao couldn't bear it.
This Su Tao is a good businessman. Although she doesn't like him very much, her vision of men is a bit too bad.
"actually……"
She wanted to give some advice, but she was afraid of being offended. Now she saw Su Tao looking at her eagerly, so she simply said what was in her heart.
"That Lu Fengyun is not a good person. He relied on you to make him famous in Kyoto. While seducing you, he also went to please Princess Yunhua. Don't feel bad for a rotten person like him."
Having said what was in her heart in one breath, Shen Miaomiao felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
If you keep something in your heart for a long time, you will get sick.
"Well, I understand."
Su Tao nodded, stood up and left the yard after being silent for a while.
"Eh……"
Shen Miaomiao was a little annoyed all of a sudden, but it must not be because of her words that made her hide and cry.
"Shen Miaomiao!"
While I was feeling annoyed, I heard someone calling me.
Shen Miaomiao looked up and saw someone standing on the roof of the opposite room, staring at her with a smile.
"Why are you back!"
Shen Miaomiao looked happy.
We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, and now it’s just the right time for him to come back!
