Chapter 140

"What's the matter?" Yun Xueyao looked up at him and asked.

The cloud view looked around, then cautiously opened his mouth and replied: "according to the report of the spy, at present, there seem to be many rabbits and pheasants with plague in the border between Yuncheng and the two countries. The spy suspected that someone did it deliberately."

"Deliberately, you can tell me more about what's going on." Yun Xueyao picked her eyebrows and asked.

"Princess, since Duke song left Yunzhou, his subordinates have sent people to follow their motorcade all the way. When they arrived at the border of Yunzhou, more than half of their horses were killed and injured. It was not different from what we expected. His subordinates were very strange at that time. The people in Jiangcheng obviously followed the motorcade, but they did nothing. Until not long ago, the spies witnessed him with their own eyes At that time, the Duke of the state of song shouted to write to the people in the palace. They stayed there for a while, and the spies found rabbits with plague. "Yunjing thought and said cautiously.

It happened that Yun Xueyao thought carefully for a moment when she heard this. If they quarreled with each other, in order to get rid of the crime, the Duke of song went to the master of the palace to preside over justice for him, and it was not impossible to get rid of the crime.

"Everyone knows that the Duke of song is a person who believes in the king. The mother Princess of the king is now deeply loved by the king in the imperial palace. At this time, the king is forbidden by the emperor. At this time, the person who asks for help from the Duke of song must be the imperial concubine."

"In this way, the so-called plague here is also the work of King Xin's mother, but it's too risky to do it. After all, at present, the Duke of song takes away the war horses they need from our cloud country. If these war horses go wrong, it's not easy for the Duke of song to explain. How can the imperial concubine save the Duke of song?"

Yunjing looks at yunxueyao in front of him, and seems to be confused.

The other party raised his eyes slightly, looked at him, stood up slowly, and the corners of his mouth tilted slightly: "Can't you see that now the 500 war horses we sold to Duke song are difficult to return to Chengguo and buy war horses. Duke song is doomed, but if there is any trouble in the middle, you will argue that our cloud country has been plagued. If such a thing happens, Duke song is still guilty, but His feelings are compassionate. In this way, the imperial concubine and empress have the guise of pleading for mercy. At present, the Duke of the state of song is difficult to ride a tiger. Only this method can preserve the Minister of King Xin. "

"The princess's analysis is reasonable, but although this thing has become like this, it is a good thing for us. After all, such a big event has happened in our cloud country. I'm afraid no one dares to use this horse."

"That's a good idea indeed. If King Xin's mother didn't do it, since she took pains to plan this matter, she will try her best to prevent Cheng Guo from investigating the authenticity of the plague. Our layout is naturally healthy, but I don't understand some things all the time.

King Xin's mother was originally born in Jiangcheng. Now she is trying so hard to save the Duke of song. Why do she have to run through this muddy water? To say the least, even if the Duke of song insists on coming, the people in Jiangcheng will go with her. After finding the clue, won't they ever persuade the Duke of song. "Yun Xueyao nodded and felt a little uneasy.

The two men were silent for a moment, and the cloud view just said, "she asked the people in Jiangcheng to accompany her, that is, she wanted to make this thing more realistic. Even the people in Jiangcheng were helpless at the time of the plague, so the Duke of song was just affected by the plague."

If so, why didn't the people in Jiangcheng try their best to cure the plague for a long time along the way? In this case, the Duke of song won a great victory and his position in the mind of King Cheng should be higher. Such a capable general is more like a fish and water under the hand of King Xin. In this way, wouldn't he be better able to suppress the prince hall I'm off.

Yun Xueyao always felt that there seemed to be something wrong: "also, what's the reaction of Cheng Yuan when such a big thing happened in Cheng Guo."

"The prince's house has been closed these days. It seems that he has no mind about these things. His subordinates think that the prince has found out the princess's intention, so he will avoid this muddy water." referring to Cheng Yuan, Yunjing feels that things on his side are much simpler.

Cheng Yuan has always been thoughtful. Now that he is in the Cheng state, the prince's position can be as stable as a rock, he must be superior. Now there is so much noise in the Cheng state because of the horse. There is no noise on his side. Yun Xueyao is more and more confused, and Cheng Yuan's mind is.

Seeing the master's face changing but speechless for a long time, he said, "princess, the information of the plague is good for us this time. We can take advantage of this time to recuperate. As for the affairs of the crown prince of Cheng, if the princess is not at ease, we will shoot the spies to inquire. If there is any news, we will report it early."

Yun Xueyao nodded and said nothing more.

……

Xie Yao and Feng Mo stood in front of the map, carefully outlining

Suddenly the door outside was pushed open, and an attendant hurried in.

When they turned around, they saw that the attendant took out a brocade bag from his sleeve, took it up with both hands, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, we found this when patrolling the mountain. It seems that there is saltpeter."

"Saltpetre?" both Xie Yao and Feng mo were surprised when they heard the speech. They hurriedly came over, opened it and looked at it carefully. It was really saltpetre. They looked at each other and took a breath. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing on the back mountain.

"How did you find it?" Feng Mo said quietly.

"When my subordinates were on a routine mountain patrol, they accidentally fell into a depression. Later, they found it in a cave."

It's no small matter. If the enemy finds out, it's afraid that this place will be razed to the ground in an instant.

If others find out in advance, they will naturally buckle their hat of not reporting the information. In addition, other people will incite the flames. In this way, they will accept the eternal disaster..

"It's no small matter. At present, who else knows except you."

Hearing the speech, the other party bowed his hand: "Your Highness, don't worry. Although your subordinates have a humble position, they also know the importance of this matter. Therefore, when your subordinates found this thing, they quietly packed a bag with a brocade bag and brought it to your highness without saying anything."

Seeing that the man was cautious, they both breathed a sigh of relief and said approvingly, "well done. Take me to see what's going on."

"Yes."

Feng Mo and his party walked quickly towards the mountain. From the foot of the mountain, he went all the way up and walked towards the hole where he found the saltpeter road.

When approaching the entrance, the bodyguard nodded to them: "Your Highness, it's 500 meters in front. Your subordinates are waiting here."

Feng Mo nodded and moved on with Xie Yao.

Sure enough, in the grass not far away, a half man high hole could be seen. When they saw it, they were all in high spirits and walked over there.

Xie Yao looked around for a moment, took out his long sword from his waist, and cut off several pieces of the wall towards the wall of the cave. After a while, he saw a pungent smell of saltpeter coming to his face.

Both of them hurried forward. Feng Mo reached out and gently stroked a handful of powder on the wall, and said to Xie Yao, "look."

"Your Highness, it's really saltpeter!" Xie Yao returned his sword into the scabbard and came forward according to his words.

"It seems he's right." Feng Mo glanced at the broken withered grass from top to bottom outside. "Look here, that's where the attendant accidentally fell."

Xie Yao also came forward and looked in his eyes: "Your Highness, since we have come, we might as well go to the mountain over there to see how many saltpeter there are in the back mountain."

"Yes."

The peaks in front of us are ups and downs. The mountains are divided into two, one is in the territory of the cloud state, the other is the closure of the state.

Now the saltpeter is discovered by the world because of this cave, but I don't know whether the cloud country knows about it.
