Chapter 252: Lure the Tiger Away From the Mountain

Jiang Yi had planned everything, but she didn't know that the plan didn't change quickly.

Two days later, urgent news suddenly came from the border. There seemed to be more troops in northern Xinjiang, and more sophisticated war horses and weapons were purchased. The Ninth Prince was asked to return as soon as possible.

After Mu Cang received the news, he held the letter and read it for a long time, his handsome and cold face looking calm.

No one knows what is going on in his mind.

"Your Majesty, do we want to go back?" Mo Yun, the personal guard, asked respectfully.

Mu Cang was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Be ready to set off."

"yes."

When Yan Li came back from the military camp in the northern suburbs at night, Mu Cang handed the letter to Yan Li and read it: "The latest information."

"More troops in Northern Xinjiang?" After reading, Yan Li walked to a chair and sat down. He asked the key question in one sentence, "Isn't Northern Xinjiang already under your control? How could there be a sudden increase in troops?"

Mu Cang said in a deep tone: "But others don't know about this."

Hearing this, Yan Li slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "So this information is false."

Not many people knew about Mu Cang's control of Northern Xinjiang, or in other words, no one knew except the people around him who he trusted very much.

That's why some people use Northern Xinjiang as an excuse to forge intelligence. As long as people believe that the intelligence is true, the border is a long way away and the military situation is urgent. Mu Cang will rush to the border without any further investigation.

This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Yan Li put the letter aside: "What do you think?"

Mu Cang poured a cup of tea, walked to the window and handed it to Yan Li: "Guess." ŴŴŴ.

"It's not difficult to guess." Yan Li took the tea and took a sip, "The ones currently at war with Mu are the Jin Kingdom and Beijiang. It is impossible for the Jin Kingdom to do such unnecessary and meaningless things. Beixin is yours Under my control, this fake letter was sent to me, it seems that someone wants to transfer you out of the imperial capital."

Mu Cang hummed.

Yan Li pondered briefly: "Based on the current situation, the most likely person is the King of Xijiang."

Mu Cang smiled lightly: "Why do you guess it's him?"

"The Queen of Jin and the prince are on an envoy to Mu. It's impossible that the King of Xijiang doesn't know such big news." Yan Li put down the tea cup, raised her hand and rubbed her wrist, "And the prince has been deposed for so many days, he deserves it. News."

Even if Emperor Zhaocheng wanted to suppress the news, he couldn't suppress it at all.

A vassal king with military power like the King of Xijiang naturally has his own sources of intelligence. If the information is blocked, he may not know how he died.

Mu Cang walked over and took her arm, starting from the wrist and squeezing all the way to the shoulder.

"I practiced aiming today, and my arms are sore and tight." Yan Li closed her eyes gently, enjoying Mu Cang's service, "I'd better pay more attention to the news outside these two days, I always feel a little too calm."

Mu Cang hummed and squeezed her arm intently.

"It's very comfortable." Yan Li squinted with an expression of enjoyment on her face, "I didn't expect that the Ninth Prince, who has a high position, is also very good at serving people. Look at your massage skills, even doctors who are not good at medical skills will be compared to you. "

A smile flashed across Mu Cang's eyes: "As long as you feel comfortable."

"Your Majesty." Mo Yun came closer and brought news that confirmed Yan Li's judgment, "Two mysterious guests came to the imperial capital and quietly entered Prince Xian's mansion half an hour ago."

Yan Li sat up, a deep luster flashed across his eyes: "It seems that the King of Xijiang has begun to take action."

Mu Cang ordered: "Just keep an eye on them secretly. There is no need to alert them."

"yes."

"As expected." Yan Li leaned against the brocade couch and picked up the tea cup again, "Would you like to guess their next plan, Your Majesty?"

"They took the risk to enter the capital, probably because they wanted to confirm Mu Xiuhan's true situation." Mu Cang took her other arm, "Besides, they also came here for Jiang Yi."

Yan Li nodded: "The arrival of Jin's envoys is directly related to whether Mu needs to reduce its vassal status. It is right for the King of Western Xinjiang to be nervous."

There has been no war between Jin and Mu for so many years. The king of Xijiang might have been murmuring in his heart for a long time. He did not expect that the queen and prince of Jin would personally go to Mu as envoys.

When he heard the news, he probably couldn't sit still.

"If we want to defeat the enemy faster, we can use our tactics." Yan Li raised his head and looked at Mu Cang, "Just taking advantage of this opportunity, you can go back to Northern Xinjiang to stabilize the situation there."

Mu Cang pursed his lips: "Are you staying alone in the imperial capital?"

"Why not?" Yan Li smiled lightly, "Everyone has to grow up, not to mention that I have to stay in Mu country for four months. You can't do nothing and stay with me for four months."

Mu Cang didn't say anything. Isn't it normal for a husband and wife to stay together for four months, even if they do nothing?

Yan Li thought for a while: "How about we make a one-year appointment?"

"A one-year appointment?" Mu Cang's eyes fell on her face.

"Yes." Yan Li nodded, "In a year's time, you can go to Jin State as the envoy of Mu State and see how much trouble I have caused in Jin State."

There was a smile on Mu Cang's face: "From what I heard, you are planning to go to Jin to cause trouble."

"Otherwise, why would you go back?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows, "I have no interest in going back and being a delicate little princess."

Mu Cang was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

A one-year appointment sounds really exciting and very exciting.

Yan Li changed the subject: "My lord, would you like to guess who are the two mysterious guests coming to Prince Xian's Mansion tonight?"

"The King of Western Frontier has two sons. The eldest son Guo Lin inherited his military power and title. The second son Guo Huai has always been Guo Lin's shadow, planning for his elder brother." Mu Cang said, "But the ability of this second son Guo should not be underestimated."

"I heard that there is another legitimate daughter of the Guo family who has practiced martial arts since childhood and has mastered the most tricky charm and disguise techniques." Yan Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Maybe this is the reason why they avoided many spies in the imperial capital and entered the capital quietly without being discovered?"

The princes and ministers in the imperial capital have many spies, and they pay attention to the movements of officials in various mansions and courts at any time.

Whose family entertained what guests today, whose son visited the brothel the day before yesterday, and whose son came to propose marriage to whose family... The private news spread quickly.

Since the Guo family was able to avoid so many spies and arrived in the imperial capital safely, it is enough to prove that they are extraordinary.

"The daughter of the Guo family is indeed proficient in the art of disguise." Mu Cang said in a light tone, "But even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't think of returning alive after entering the capital this time."

No matter how powerful the opponent is, once the whereabouts are known early, it means that they are trapped in this iron-clad imperial city. How easy is it to escape? .

"It is not difficult to identify the art of disguise." Yan Li raised his hand to support his chin, thinking, "After all, the art of disguise has never been something mysterious and profound, but the dignified King of Xijiang let his daughter learn the art of charm, which is obviously a bit inferior."

"Use any means to achieve the goal." Mu Cang said, "The King of Xijiang never claims to be upright and honest, and he doesn't care about his reputation."
