Chapter 1102: Colluding with the Garrison Army, What Is Rong Leng Going to Do?
Fu Hongda's sudden voice, before the three women could react, made the snake keeper feel a little angry. He stared at Fu Hongda with provoked anger in his eyes: "Why are you crazy? explain."
Fu Hongda said: "Sir, there is something important."
After all, the snake keeper was not a person who did not distinguish between public and private affairs. He sighed, patted the woman in his arms on the butt, and said: "Get out first."
They were all women having fun, so if there was anyone who was ignorant, they naturally put on their gowns and went out together.
After the room quieted down, Fu Hongda went to close the door in person and said to the snake keeper: "Today is the day of success or failure. Sir, celebrate in advance. You shouldn't interrupt. It's just that the big thing hasn't happened yet, so we need to be cautious."
The snake keeper frowned: "Just say what you want to say, so as to avoid the nagging of this mother-in-law."
Fu Hongda said: "My people kept an eye on Fu Hongmei. He did go to the road to escape Qingzhou as we expected. It's just that the carriages changed from two to one."
The snake farmer laughed angrily: "Are you interrupting my leisure time because of a carriage? Fourth Master, are you kidding me?"
Fu Hongda heard the report from his subordinates on the way to Wandering Alley from Fu Mansion, and he didn't take it seriously at first. Therefore, when he arrived at Qianxifang, he heard that the snake breeder was in Xiaoyao, so he didn't bother him. , but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I should be cautious, and finally, I still felt that I should mention it.
He, Fu Hongda, has been able to get to where he is today by planning for many years, keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. As soon as something deviates from what he expected, he will investigate it vigilantly and make sure that he has taken all ninety-nine steps. He didn't want to make a mistake in this last step because of his carelessness.
"In short, before a major event is completed, Mr. Wang should be more vigilant to prevent failure."
The snake keeper was displeased by Fu Hongda's excessive caution, but he also understood better the key to Fu Hongda's success.
Unlike many people, the more critical the moment for Fu Hongda, the more he thinks, and he does not underestimate the enemy or be arrogant. This kind of nature is what makes him stand out from the crowd and become the ultimate partner of their Wu clan.
"Okay, I will wait with you until Fu Hongmei's head is delivered. By then, you and I will have two more drinks."
"Of course." Fu Hongda laughed, and his quiet eyes fell on the bright yellow candlelight on the table. The candlelight was swaying and the fire was gratifying.
…
At the same time, on the outskirts of Qingzhou Mansion, there was a military camp.
Leng Yi, the garrison general who led one hundred thousand elite troops to protect the safety of Qingzhou within a hundred miles radius, was sitting in the camp, chatting with two distinguished guests who had come from afar.
Leng Yi actually didn't really want to entertain the two of them, but they came to his door in person in the middle of the night, making him want to chase them out, but he was too embarrassed to chase them away.
He coughed, looked at the time, Leng Yi said with a sullen face: "It's getting late, otherwise, you two should rest first, what do we have to do, let's talk about it tomorrow?"
The two young men sitting across from each other did not move. The man sitting on the left was wearing a gray robe and had a high posture. He said: "I shouldn't bother you late at night, but the matter is urgent and I don't dare to delay. Mr. Leng and my father also have Friendship, this happened again in Qingzhou, so I came to bother you, hoping that Marshal Leng could help me."
Leng Yi had already begun to become anxious. He kept looking outside the tent and couldn't sit still no matter how hard he sat. He just didn't like chatting with civil servants. He was so long-winded that he couldn't finish a single thing in a long time.
Sighing, Leng Yi asked: "Master Fang and Master Qin said frankly, what kind of trouble did you two encounter, and what help do you need Leng?"
After bidding farewell to Liu Xiaoli, he rescued Fang Ruozhu, Fang Ruotong, and Li Yin with his personal bodyguards. However, due to the subsequent rescue efforts, they were monopolized by the queen's power. Qin Bi, who has been unable to leave Qingzhou Mansion so far, said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "If I were not really desperate, I would I don’t want to implicate the marshal, this matter concerns a big shot in the palace, I…”
"Marshal, the troops have been integrated!"
At this time, the deputy general outside the camp suddenly came in, gave a military salute to Leng Yi, and said truthfully.
Leng Yi was about to speak, but Fang Ruozhu squinted and asked, "Raising troops late at night, is there something going on in the camp?"
Leng Yi stood up and bowed his hands to the two of them: "What's the matter with you two? Please wait until Leng comes back. Don't worry, it's hard to tell about other places. You two are absolutely safe in my garrison camp." He said , while walking out, he said to the deputy general, "Can you control people? There must be no mistakes in today's encirclement and suppression. General Rong will also be there in person. Hurry up and go first. Everything will go according to plan..."
The coldness went further and further away. Fang Ruozhu and Qin Wei looked at each other in the room. They were both stunned when they heard the sound of "General Rong". Fang Ruozhu asked uncertainly: "But Rong Leng?"
Rong Leng had fought on the border for many years. Later, he was summoned by the emperor himself and returned to Beijing to report on his duties. He was appointed as the captain of Zhengemen. In Beijing, Rong Leng was called many people. In official matters, most people called him Captain Rong. In private, they were close friends. He is called the Third Prince, but there is another title that is only circulated among military officers. It is the title that Rong Leng was collectively called when he was suppressing rebellion on the border.
Although he has resigned for many years and has never marched again, the military attachés are still accustomed to calling him General Ke Rong.
Fang Ruozhu knew that Rong Leng was in Qingzhou. He was almost certain that the general Rong Leng mentioned in Leng Yi's mouth was Rong Leng. But he colluded with the Qingzhou garrison in the middle of the night. What was Rong Leng going to do?
"It seems that not only we have something to do, but Captain Rong also has something big to do." Qin Wei said this, walked out of the camp again, looked at the hurried troops and horses outside, and the other party Ruozhu said: "The matter of Li Qing , we’ll talk about it tomorrow, let’s take a rest today.”
Fang Ruozhu also came out of the camp and asked, "Qingzhou garrison, I remember, is it the Fu family's force?"
Qin Wei said: "The Fu family is the dominant one in Qingzhou. In terms of political affairs, Qingzhou has been coordinated by the Fu family. In terms of military affairs, no matter how reassured the emperor is, he will never send another hundred thousand troops to guard the Fu family's gate. Therefore, two years ago, the Fu family Years ago, the troops stationed in wealthy areas such as Qingzhou and Jiangnan were all under the personal control of the emperor. However, now that the emperor is seriously ill and the military power has been handed down according to the rules, it should now be temporarily under the control of the cabinet."
Fang Ruozhu sneered: "Cabinet, when I left Beijing, I heard that the cabinet once again jointly decided to appoint Rong Leng as the crown prince because of the sudden illness of the prince."
Qin Wei said in a deep voice: "Rong Su would not agree. Those veterans in the cabinet may be able to fight against the prince, but they may not be able to fight against Rong Su."
…
On the other side.
No news from the spies came, and Fu Hongda never left the snake keeper's room.
As the time got later and later, the snake keeper became impatient, slipped off the bed, put on some clothes and went out.
Fu Hongda didn't stop him. After seeing the snake keeper disappear, he put down his cup, walked to the window and looked outside.
It stands to reason that Fu Hongmei should have left the city by this time, but the person who responded to the message never came. Fu Hongda was calm on the surface, but he was not in a hurry in his heart.
