RPAGF Chapter 458 Lost Contact Outside the Pass (3)
Chapter 458 Lost Contact Outside the Pass (3)
"The Yun family in Youcheng still took a laissez-faire attitude towards the drama, but King You had already removed many of the Yun family members from the court, and some of the Yun family members in important departments were either dead or disabled. The Yun family in Zhejiang West suffered heavy losses, but even so, they still did not deny it."
The five cities of Linyue State are autonomous in different areas. Youcheng is different from Zhuocheng. Their management system is very simple, and all decisions are made by Prince Zhuo's Mansion. The next level is the county magistrate, the local government office, etc. Prince Zhuo has absolute control over Zhuocheng.
On the other hand, Youcheng is actually more like the model of Luocheng, with a small palace, a small court, and officials at all levels who accept their orders. Everything has to be discussed in the morning court. This is also the result of the Yun family's operations over the years, with the aim of dividing King You's power.
Jin Yi's hand was still raised in the air. Lu Yingxing, who hadn't waited for the next fetal movement, obviously didn't want to pay attention to him. His left hand was around Shen Yu, and his right hand had no intention of leaving her belly. There was suddenly a hint of awkwardness in the warm room...
Finally, it was Shen Yu who took it. "Ah! That means the Yun family still has not given up on the silver and iron mines outside the Great Wall..."
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she patted Lu Yingxing in fear, "It's over, did I harm the people in Mohe? The Yun family suddenly arrested them because of the minerals, right?"
In fact, Lu Yingxing had guessed it a long time ago, but he didn't like these people in the first place, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to remind them, for fear that his wife would feel guilty.
I waited for so long but there was no fetal movement. Although I felt a little aggrieved, my wife was of course more important than the child.
Lu Yingxing held her in his arms again and sighed, "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to blame yourself."
The air was still filled with a faint smell of medicine. Shen Yu drank the medicine very obediently today, and the smell of the medicine was finally not as strange as yesterday. She leaned in his arms, her tone inevitably disappointed, "How can it be unrelated? I was careless..."
For more than a decade, the Yun family had only pretended to be the group of people who died in the war, and had never been so tough on the original Beirong people. But since the news of the mineral resources outside the pass came out, they changed their previous lurking attitude and first attacked the tribe where Moerte was, and killed their king and queen, who were Mogu's parents... and Tara's mother's family...
"These people could have been saved. I was too self-righteous and thought that I had the whereabouts of the Yun family members under my control. It was me..." Shen Yu's voice trembled involuntarily, choking a little, full of regret and self-blame, "It was me... I was careless."
Lu Yingxing did not comment, gave his subordinate a look, and the two of them left on their own accord.
"Madam did nothing wrong. First, she fundamentally destroyed the Yun family's qualification to continue to control Youcheng. Then, she used the mineral resources as a constraint and lured the Yun family into not daring to deny it..." "Madam did a really good job. At least she did what several generations of You kings could not accomplish.
"Although the Zhuocheng Army has been keeping track of the Yun family's movements, no one expected them to suddenly attack. They are too greedy. It has nothing to do with Madam..."
Lu Yingxing has never been good at comforting others, especially when facing the woman he loves. He has done his best, chattering and racking his brain to say everything he thought of.
In his heart, he really thought that this matter should not be blamed on his wife. Just as the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, how could the victory or defeat of the battle be entirely the fault of the commander alone?
Shen Yu suddenly looked up, "Yes, we have cut off all contact methods outside the pass, so who leaked the information about the mineral to the outside world?"
When she asked, Lu Yingxing reacted quickly. Even if this matter spread throughout Linyue, it would not spread outside the Great Wall, because they had sent people to guard all the checkpoints strictly. The purpose was to make the Yun family in Youcheng anxious, and it was easy to make mistakes when they were anxious.
This expedition team from Nan County was the only chance for the Yun family to come out of seclusion. As a matter of fact, even the second young master of Youcheng came in person this time.
But obviously, the movement of the Yun family outside the pass was earlier than the switch time. Even if it was switched on and off, the trajectory and range of the adventure team's activities have always been within a fixed range, so...
The two looked at each other, and there was only one possibility: embezzlement.
Lu Yingxing's expression became more and more solemn. If there really was a problem within the Zhuocheng Army, then it would be a serious matter.
After settling Shen Yu, he immediately called Gu Liu and others to discuss the matter.
"This is impossible!!"
After hearing the prince's speculation, Gu Liu's first reaction was disbelief. Although he had taken over the Zhuocheng Army for only three or four months, before that, it had always been led by General Feng. The commander of the main city garrison and the commander of the county garrisons had been replaced once. Those people now were either confidants who had followed his father for many years or confidants of Prince Zhuo's Mansion. How could such a big mistake occur?
Jin Yi was not as confident as him. There were so many people in the army, and the network woven by the Yun family and the aristocratic families was so large. Who could guarantee that there would be no fish that slipped through the net?
"It's not difficult to get out of the pass. Anyone from the gold and wood teams in the palace can climb over the city wall. Even if there are no horses, they can run very far. Even if they can't reach the Yun family's settlement outside the pass, how do you know they don't have a contact point? The news about the mineral resources has been spread for half a month. Can you guarantee that no one has been allowed to get out of the pass during this period?"
"I..." He really couldn't guarantee it.
Jin Yi's eyes were deep and sharp. "Besides... your garrison is at the border, but don't ask, there are still Zhuocheng troops stationed ten miles outside the border."
Gu Liu's eyes trembled slightly, "You...are you suspicious?"
"I don't suspect anyone. I'm just stating the facts. Since we want to find loopholes, we can't miss any of them." Jin Yi looked at him with a frank look. If they wanted to send a message to the outside world, it would be more convenient to send the troops under General Feng stationed outside. There would definitely be normal exchanges between the garrisons of the two places, so there would be more room for operation.
Gu Liu immediately turned around, knelt down, and knocked his head heavily on the ground. "Your Majesty, I am to blame. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to make amends. I want to investigate this matter first, and then let Your Majesty punish me after the results are out!"
"allow."
After Gu Liu left, Lu Yingxing looked at Jin Yi, who had been silent the whole time, and asked curiously, "You have become much more lively since you followed the princess..."
Jin's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately explained, "Your Highness, because the princess is always particularly happy when you are around, so I was infected by the princess's joy and said a few extra words without noticing. I deserve to die."
Lu Yingxing stared at him with interest for a while before speaking, "You seem to be getting more and more eloquent... So, do you have any news that you haven't told me?"
Jin Yi's heart suddenly shuddered, and he raised his head to meet the man's cold gaze.
