Chapter 634 Another Day of Worshipping Uncle
The King of England wanted to stay with Yan Huaiwen to have breakfast with him.
The latter politely resigned.
After leaving the yard, Yan Yu walked quickly carrying the food box.
I was thinking that I would have to heat up breakfast when I got back, and then walked from the kitchen to the prince's residence, and then back to the small courtyard where they temporarily stayed. It was already too cold.
"Xiao Er, do you know where Master Luan Yu is resting?" Yan Huaiwen suddenly slowed down and asked.
Yan Yu turned around and looked back, with some doubts in his eyes, but he answered without any hesitation: "Uncle, I know."
"Lead the way."
Yan Yu's body was faster than his brain. He just turned around, then turned back, and then turned back again. His calves were so tight that they clicked on the broken ice on the ground.
She originally wanted to persuade her uncle to eat first before going over, but considering her uncle's temperament, his priorities were very clear. There was still something to discuss in the lobby today, and she had to meet Mr. Luan before the meeting. There must be something important.
"Uncle, you chew one of our meat sticks first to cushion your stomach." Yan Yu stuffed a small spicy meat stick into his uncle's hand.
Yan Huaiwen frowned slightly.
Yan Yu paid attention to his expression and knew that he didn't like the burning sensation that washed over his body.
"Uncle, there is porridge in the food box, you can eat the porridge." Yan Yu turned his hands left and right, and with his free hand, he deftly took out the bowl of soft boiled rice porridge.
Eating while walking is extremely indecent.
But the child's fisting heart and eager thoughts are all in his eyes, clear and discernible.
Yan Huaiwen stretched out his hand to take it, slowed down a little, and held the porridge steadily. While chewing the meat strips, he sipped the cold porridge from time to time to reduce the burning in his abdomen.
The posture is dignified and the steps are measured.
Although I eat and drink in between walks, it is like taking a leisurely stroll.
Luanyu was about to go to the cell when he walked to the corridor and saw this scene.
Can't help but stop and watch.
Yan Huaiwen looked at him, stopped, stood still, folded his long sleeves, looked calm, and bowed from a distance.
Where can I see what is in his hands?
Luan Yu secretly praised in his heart: What a beautiful style!
…
"If Mr. Yan is here because of Leshan Prefecture's affairs, please tell His Highness the King of England that Luanyu came out of Beijing to work on a private mine in Xizhou. The ownership of Leshan Prefecture is a big matter. I don't know the inside story and dare not speak nonsense."
Luan Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the tea bowl on the table.
It is the intention of serving tea as a farewell to guests.
"Students come here for this reason." Yan Huaiwen said.
Luan Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with questioning eyes.
"The three private mines in Xizhou are all reported by Guanzhou."
Luan Yu's eyes opened slightly, and in an instant, he had thousands of thoughts.
Yan Huaiwen's tone was casual, as if he was chatting about romance, but every word was sharp: "There are more than just these three private mines in Xizhou. If a student dares to report it, Mr. Luan, do you dare to investigate it all?"
Do you dare to investigate?
Luanyu couldn't answer for a moment.
When he left the capital, His Majesty summoned him, and he revealed a lot in his words. He also planned to thoroughly investigate the private mining case, visit and investigate in person, and travel to all the cities and towns in Xizhou to find out what was going on in Xizhou.
But everything happened yesterday, from the private soldiers guarding the open-pit coal mine with armor and weapons, to the interrogation at night, when a group of people were tortured and refused to reveal a word. The more Luan Yu thought about it, the more chills he felt all over his body.
Yan Huaiwen's question hit him right where it hurts.
Yes, he weighed the pros and cons and really couldn't investigate further.
There is also circumstantial evidence that what he thought was correct.
Guanzhou is adjacent to Xizhou. If there is any change in the latter, Guanzhou will be the first to know about it, and it is also Guanzhou that will report to the capital to inform His Majesty.
"I will inform your Majesty about this matter and ask for His Majesty's Holy Judgment." Even if Luan Yu guessed that Guanzhou was the person who reported the matter secretly, he would not reveal the slightest hint.
Yan Huaiwen had no intention of discussing the rebellion in Xizhou with him.
"Sir Luan, this is just a moment when the student made a blunder in anger. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Luan. The student knows the seriousness of it, but he just feels aggrieved."
There was a hint of lingering sadness in Yan Huaiwen's eyes, and his voice seemed to be trembling:
"We, the Guanzhou Army, will know after we destroy the Beirong. The people captured by the Beirong over the years have a hard time surviving outside the Pass. It is even worse than cattle and sheep! Livestock can be traded, and people can also sell them. It is cold this winter, and the Beirong are buying coal. I asked Xizhou to exchange cattle, sheep and people. This population will be the people in my pass.
If you enter through life, you will not be able to escape through death!
Mr. Luan, what the student said is not false. The transaction between Beirong and Xizhou was witnessed by our army. When we first encountered Beirong, we didn't know about it. We only killed them all to save the people in our pass. Later, we met the Xizhou army to escort coal. When the car came, I didn't expect it, and I was shocked to realize that Xizhou actually... collaborated with the enemy. "
When Yan Huaiwen said these two words, it was as light as a whisper.
But it was like thunder exploding in Luanyu's ears.
"Really?" He asked anxiously: "Really?!"
"All the Xizhou troops escorting the coal trucks were captured and are now imprisoned in a safe and secluded place."
"Now that we have evidence, can we report it to Your Majesty?" Luan Yu asked solemnly.
"The situation at that time was extremely dangerous." Yan Huaiwen's eyes were filled with memories, and there was a hint of happiness and fear between his brows.
"Xizhou didn't see the coal transporter return, so we sent people to look for him one after another. We had no choice but to kill him, but we could only hide it for a while. If Xizhou learned that Guanzhou had peeked into his privacy and joined forces with Beirong to besiege him, Guanzhou is in danger!
At that time, Guanzhou was experiencing a cold disaster and the people's livelihood was difficult. At this time of internal and external difficulties, it was too late to ask for help from Beijing, so they had to come up with a plan to survive in the danger. "
Luan Yu blurted out: "Is this the reason why Guanzhou sent troops to conquer Beirong without authorization?"
Yan Huaiwen said earnestly: "As Lord Luan said, His Royal Highness the King of England took the risk, gathered the strength of the entire Guanzhou, dispatched food and grass, pretended to fight with the King of Qi for Leshan, and ordered the prince to join the army in person. He was determined to fight to the death with the Northern Rong. If we win, we can pacify the outside of Guanzhou, stabilize the people's hearts, and deter the four directions.
Even if we lose, we can first calm the suspicion of the Western Prefecture and prevent drastic changes; second, we can attract the attention of the court. If the Guanzhou army is defeated, the court will definitely dispatch a strong army to suppress the border and also pressure the Western Prefecture."
He changed the subject and said: "Fortunately, we won, the Northern Rong After the removal, Guanzhou can free up its hands to guard against Xizhou, so Leshan will be even more important. Guanzhou is bitterly cold, and it is not easy to obtain food and supplies. Although our army has won a great victory and the court has praised it, it can only be once or twice, not three times.
If His Royal Highness the King of England can control the two prefectures of Guanzhou and Leshan, devote the strength of the two prefectures, and get secret help from the court, there will be no worries in the future.
At that time, Guanzhou will station troops in Leshan in the name of suppressing bandits, blocking their way south to Beijing and stopping them in the northwest.
If Xizhou is in chaos, the Guanzhou army will be able to suppress it! "
Luan Yu's heart was in turmoil after hearing these words. Yan Yu was stunned when she heard it on the side.
This... is her uncle?
He is so eloquent? He is so good at acting?
Every bit of that little expression is just right.
In just a few words, the image of the King of England who is devoted to his country and the people and takes risks is established?
The King of England praised him in a subtle way. He even had a good reason to send troops without authorization. The small details of ambushing the spies in Xizhou were simply a stroke of genius. With the use of the time dislocation technique, everything has a reasonable explanation.
Yes! It was too fierce and dangerous at that time!
We were afraid that something might happen in Xizhou, so we took the risk of going out to fight Beirong.
Otherwise, we would be attacked from all sides!
There was a reason for fighting with Xizhou for Leshan.
Huh? The ownership of Leshan Prefecture is probably stable.
Her uncle...
He is really amazing!
Yan Yu's eyes seemed to be spewing sparks, crackling and jumping!
Her admiration was so full that it was about to overflow. (End of this chapter)
