After the two armies of FengChuan met, they immediately surrounded Shenchi.
This time, Pingyuan army and Tianying army were sent out by Fengguo. Xiao MuQing was the commander-in-chief and Ziying was the Deputy commander-in-chief. The third and sixth corps of the Sichuan army are dispatched, with Shang general Wei Heng as the commander and Jin Zhuo as the deputy commander.
It was originally thought that the 400000 armies of the two countries could complete the encirclement of Shenchi. However, when the two armies began to take practical action, they found that the terrain around Shenchi was too complex. There were both hills and forests around. It was not easy to complete the encirclement, which was far from what the 400000 troops could do.
The commanders of the two armies, Xiao MuQing, Ziying, Wei Heng and Jin Zhuo, gathered together to discuss and unanimously decided to send letters to their respective imperial courts, and then continue to send more troops.
After the missionary was sent back to Feng state and Sichuan state, the monarchs of the two countries immediately responded. Tang Yin sent Feiyu army and Xiao Xuan sent the fourth corps of Sichuan state. In this way, the total force of the two countries gathered outside the Shenchi pool reached 600000.
Over 10000 people are boundless, and over 100000 people stretch to the sky. The 600000 troops can surround the Shenchi lake this time. Even the mountains and forests are reclaimed by the soldiers of the two armies, set up tents and put up camp defense.
Fengguo, Zhenjiang.
Now the encirclement of Shenchi by the FengChuan two armies is progressing very smoothly. There is no movement in Shenchi. Tang Yin is not in a hurry to go to the army in front. During this period, he needs to deal with some "trivial matters" in Zhenjiang.
That day, after the break of the dynasty, Tang Yin went directly to the Huaying palace where Wumei was located. When he arrived, Wu Mei was chatting with several close maids. When she saw Tang Yin, the maids quickly blessed him and then quickly withdrew.
Dance Mei got up and asked with a smile, "Why are you so early today? Don't you have to deal with government affairs?"
"Well, it's relatively free today." Tang Yin smiled, took Wu Mei and sat down and asked, "mei'er, is it your birthday in a few days?"
Wu Mei smiled and said in surprise, "so you still remember."
Tang Yin said, "of course, how could it be forgotten!" After a pause, he immediately said, "don't make too much of your birthday..."
Wu Mei was stunned, then asked suspiciously, "is it because the Treasury is empty? I heard that Lord Zhang is talking about that the Treasury is not enough."
Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "it has nothing to do with that. If the Treasury is really empty, Zhang Zhe's personality will not just talk." I guess I've already rushed into the palace to find my theory.
Wu Mei was also happy when she heard the speech. She felt that he really understood Zhang Zhe's personality thoroughly! She asked, "if it's not because the Treasury is empty, why?"
Tang Yin said: "mei'er's birthday is a little less extravagant, and there is no need to invite relatives and friends to the scene. Just get together with rou'er and Xiaomin."
Seeing Wu Mei's suspicious face, he said, "mei'er should have heard of what happened in the king's palace of Sichuan?"
"What the husband said is the detailed work of Shenchi?"
"That's right! Shenchi can put the fine work next to the pillow of the king of Sichuan. I'm worried that the same thing will happen to me." Tang Yin narrowed her eyes and said youyou.
"How is that possible!" Wu Mei shook her head reflexively. Although Tang Yin was not innocent, he was by no means greedy for women. His women were only the princess and four wives, not even a concubine. If there were fine works among the people beside his pillow, he was one of the princess and four wives.
Tang Yin said: "no nature is the best, but we can't help it!"
Wu Mei looked at Tang Yin in amazement as if she didn't know him. After a long time, she murmured, "don't you... Even believe us?"
Seeing her injury in her eyes, Tang Yin hurriedly pulled Wu Mei into her arms and said softly, "if I don't believe you, how can I tell you this?"
Among the girls, only Wu Mei has trained in Lingwu. Tang Yin also believes that she will never be a spy sent by Guang Xuanling. Because of this, he came to Wu Mei for help and asked her to help him make a test.
Tang Yin took out a small porcelain vase from her cuff and handed it to Wu Mei. She said, "this is a gathering elixir. On your birthday, you can invite your sisters to have dinner together. Then, mix the scattered elixir into the wine and let them drink it."
Wu Mei slowly took over the porcelain vase handed over by Tang Yin and didn't answer for a long time. Tang Yin said, "it's just a miraculous pill. It won't be harmful to people. I also believe they won't be careful, but they're not afraid of ten thousand. Just in case, it's better to be careful."
Holding the small porcelain vase tightly, Wu Mei asked, "does everyone want to drink?"
Tang Yin nodded and said positively, "since you want to make a test, you must be foolproof, otherwise you might as well not do it."
Speaking of this, he changed his words and said, "at that time, I will find an excuse to leave Zhenjiang. If I am not present, it will be more convenient for you to act."
Wu Mei answered softly, then frowned and asked, "is it really necessary to do this?"
Tang Yin was silent for a long time. The chief sighed and said, "just do what I said. I... hope they are all fine!"
Looking at the helplessness and bitterness on his face, Wu Mei suddenly understood him. Presumably, what happened in the Sichuan palace shocked him and reminded him that he must be careful all the time.
She can't help with the front palace, but she should help with the back palace. Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, took Tang Yin's hand and said, "don't worry, husband. Mei'er will do it well!"
Tang Yin patted the back of Wu Mei's delicate hand and said with a bitter smile, "it's hard for you."
Three days later, it was Wu Mei's birthday. According to Tang Yin, she didn't have a big banquet in the palace, and even her parents didn't invite her. She only had a simple banquet in her palace and invited Yin Rou, fan min, Yuan Qianyi and Xiao Na to attend.
There are also two other people on her invitation list, namely Huangfu xiutai and Jin Xuan.
Inviting them is Tang Yin's meaning. First, it shows that Feng Guo attaches importance to them. Secondly, it is also the most important point. If there is a fine work at the banquet and he is present, it will not only hurt others, but also be difficult to fly.
As for Tang Yin, he left Zhenjiang City on the pretext of a sudden accident in the garrison camp and went to the Fengjun camp outside the city.
In the afternoon, the invited people came to the beautiful Huaying palace. Of course, everyone didn't come empty handed. Even Huangfu xiutai and Jin Xuan prepared exquisite gifts. When fan min arrived, her giggling laughter immediately rang out in the hall and said to Wu Mei, the "birthday" sitting in the middle: "your birthday is a big day. Why did you only have such a small party? I heard that the king is out of town. It seems that the king doesn't favor you as much as before!"
Her words are full of schadenfreude. It's rare to have the opportunity to tease Wumei. Fan min won't miss it.
Wu Mei is not a bully either. She scolded angrily: "shut your crow's mouth. If you don't want to stay here, go back to your bedroom!" Fan min doesn't need to be tempted at all. Wu Mei can be 1000% sure that she can't be a masterpiece of Shenchi. She was so familiar with them that she knew each other since childhood. She quarreled from childhood to now. If fan min was careful, she dared to cut off her head and kick it as a ball.
Of course, fan min won't go. Watching Wumei eat flat, it's too late for her to be dark and cool. How can she go?
She sat down with a smile, looked around and said, "madam, there are only so few people here to congratulate you on your birthday. I'd better stay with you!"
Wumei looked at her and was about to answer, when Yan Rou came in from the outside. Yan Rou arrived at the scene, and Wu Mei took the initiative to get out of the main table and sit next to her. In any case, Yan Rou was a princess, and she was one class higher than her in status.
Later, Xiao Na and Yuan Qianyi also came to the scene one after another. The originally empty hall finally gained some popularity with the arrival of the people.
Yan Rou sat for a while, raised her eyes to look outside the hall, then leaned over to Wu Mei and asked, "is Yin really not coming? Today is sister Mei's birthday!"
Wu Mei smiled and whispered, "the king is on business. It's still important to deal with business..."
Before she finished, fan min blinked her innocent big eyes and interrupted: "it's strange that there was no accident in the military camp early or late. It happened that there was an accident on Mrs. Leping's birthday. The king didn't deliberately hide from you?"
Hearing this, all the women showed helpless faces. In fact, fan min is a good person. Although she treats people coldly on weekdays, she doesn't have any bad intentions, but as long as she is in front of Wu Mei, she immediately becomes mean. Of course, Wu Mei's attitude towards her is no better. They quarrel when they meet, and they can hardly find a time when they can talk well.
"Don't say that, sister min..." Yan Rou was very careful to cry out for Wu Mei.
"Rou'er doesn't have to pay attention to her. The dog can't spit out ivory. She is born with a villain's face!" Wu Mei glared at fan min fiercely, and then said to the maids around: "everyone is here. Serve wine and food!"
"Yes, madam!" The maids on both sides promised one after another and rushed out. After a short time, the maids came back from the outside with wine and vegetables in their hands and placed them one by one at the people's tables.
Although the pomp of the banquet is not big, the wine and dishes can be rich enough. Everyone's table is full, and there are full-time maids waiting behind. As long as you see any dishes that don't move chopsticks or are tired of eating, you can immediately replace them and replace them with new dishes.
As the palace maids filled the wine for the people, Yan Rou first picked up the cup and said, "sister, give Mei a cup first!"
Looking at Yan Rou's innocent and innocent smiling face, Wu Mei's heart was full of guilt. She forced to smile, picked up the cup and said, "I respect rouer's sister, too!"
