Chapter 095 – The city is full of enemies

Zijin Palace has Yangling Zhai, overlooking the city, the top floor of the bookstore, Zhai building outside the stone carving of a black dragon spitting water, sweet potato aunt hand-planted five begonias, Xu Fengyen these days by the Qingwu courtyard moved to the Zhai inside the bookstore, often stand in the window, one stop is a few hours, sweet potato in the Wutong Court can only be in the acres of land to roam freely, such as koi carp swimming in the water in the city of Dunhuang will not be able to, and now seventy to eighty thousand people have to look up to its nose, she is like a curtained young empress, although there is a group of competent female officials to help deal with political affairs, but the tangled forces of Dunhuang city, thousands of people are confused. A curtain ruling the young queen, although there is a group of elite female officers of the Zijin Palace to help deal with political affairs, but Dunhuang City forces entangled, a thousand and one, a mess of hemp, all to her to a hammer to make a final decision, the good thing is that Xu Fengyen does not let her stick to the side of the world, there is no impermeable wall, even if the wall is the wall of the son of God’s house, but also the same can not be concealed, and from time to time on the palace to hide and roam Xu Fengyen detected a surge of undercurrents, tentacles, spreading outward, and then feed back to the palace, and the palace is not a good place, but a good place. The palace is a place where the people can’t keep their mouths shut. When the devil Luoyang was outside the city, Dunhuang City was scattered, and the forces that were favored by her aunt watched her leave the city alone, and then Luoyang left, and only after that did she do something to add to the success of the city, and the people mostly regarded it as a heavenly gift, but the people did not. As for the people, most of them regard it as a natural thing, you are Dunhuang City, you are the master of the city, you don’t go out who go out? If you die, it’s just a change of master, if the city is broken, no matter how indiscriminately Luoyang, 70,000 to 80,000 people, it is unlikely to kill our head is not it? Change the master, the worst thing is that we all suffer together, it is better than to be strong and give the devil slaughtered. Xu Fengyen heard this answer and laughed it off.

Sweet Potato asked at that moment, “If Beiliang’s 300,000 iron horsemen fail to defend the northwest country’s gate one day, and Beiliang Dao’s millions of households of people all tied up together, or even defected to North Mang, and in turn dealt with the Beiliang army, will your lordship’s heart be cold?”

Xu Fengnian asked in return, “If you were me, what to do?”

Sweet Potato wiped his fingers across his lips and smiled, “If the slave girl is a hereditary and reckless Northern Liang King like Gongzi, if there really is such a thing, it’s better if I don’t see it, and if I see one, I’ll kill one.”

Xu Fengyen sighed: “You came to be the Dunhuang City Lord, or some great talent.”

The gentle countryside is ultimately a hero’s mound, sweet potatoes talk about going north five hundred miles to the territory of Jinxi state, is the Wu family nine swords to break the ruins of ten thousand riders, Xu Fengyen got up the idea of leaving the city, that night in the main hall of the Giant Immortal Palace on the dragon chair, she wore a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, posing as a king in the world, if it is on the age of the North Mang imperial tent ministers, to see this scene, will only mistakenly think that it is the female empress of the majesty of the emperor to return to the age of the child. Twilight spring, a night of absurdity, fortunately Dunhuang City does not have an early morning court, before dawn, together back to the Qingwu courtyard, the two took a mandarin ducks bath, Xu Fengyen in her service to wear back to the black mountain white background of the scribe’s attire, back on the book case, sweet potato around the circle twice, checking for flaws, only to be as good as it can be, is really can not be picked out, she only a face of regret: “Gongzi this kind of attire like the belly of the poetry and books of the reader, it’s very nice to look at, but that purple python suit, it’s even better.”

Xu Fengnian patted the spring and autumn sword and said softly, “Just don’t give it away.”

Sweet Potato shook his head and said, “Send it outside the Benwang Gate.”

Arriving outside of the Earth Zang Benwang Gate, Sweet Potato said again that he wanted to send it ten miles away, Xu Fengyen said helplessly, “According to your method of sending it, just go back to Beilang directly.”

Sweet Potato again gave Xu Fenian a meticulous care, asked: “Really don’t want that Night Shining Jade Lion? Even if you’re afraid of sticking out, just get a good horse to ride, if you’re impatient, just throw it away.”

Xu Fengyen shook his head and said, “Who will take care of who is still unknown, or walking is easy. If you have feelings, you don’t want to throw it away.”

Sweet Potato softly said, “Your Excellency walk well.”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “You also go back to Northern Liang early, I still say, I don’t care how Dunhuang City is the top priority in Northern Liang’s layout, I want you to live well.”

Sweet Potato lowered her eyebrows and said, “Slave servant knows.”

Xu Feng Nian thought for a moment and continued, “Little eunuch Tong Guan, you’ll be cold-eyed for another two to three years, after that, you’ll be sent to Yang Ling Zhai, this child’s literacy and reading and martial arts foundation building, you’ll have to put in more effort, to say that it’s a free-range, completely disregarded to listen to heaven’s destiny, and that won’t work either.”

Sweet Potato laughed: “Gongzi put a hundred hearts, Dongshou can surely amaze Dunhuang city in the future, there are really a few secret scrolls in the hidden scripture pavilion that are suitable for him to go and practice, count him lucky.”

Xu Fenian hmmm’d and whispered, “I hope that the world will not be disappointed by one more painstaking person in the sky.”

“Let’s go.”

Xu Fengyen turned his back to Sweet Potato, who was dressed in brocade with big sleeves like a hibiscus, and waved his hand.

Sweet potato seems to want to chase up, a foot out yet to step on the ground on the shrink back, long stay, when the palace morning bell ringing, only then walk through the door of the wish, walk to the palace, standing in the pile of spring hill looking into the distance, Dunhuang city in her aunt’s hands in accordance with the usual fifteen a dynasty, this kind of pilgrimage is not very large, that is, within the city is qualified to share a piece of the various forces get together to share the benefits of the aunt has been trying to screw together, but no matter to the death did not reach! The sweet potatoes also do not have the luxury of being on the same side, but it seems that even the superficial harmony has become a luxury now. She narrowed her eyes, and Xu Fengyin and the flow of a very different atmosphere of cold, jumping clowns should surface, in fact, the aunt died, they began to clamor, especially to determine the devil Luoyang lazy meddling Dunhuang City, these old foxes who call themselves patriarchs to take her this powerless fox winks to start, and now crazy rumors within the city of the head of the face of the theft of power is not precisely the bait that they spread out of the house? Sweet Potato slowly walks down the heap of spring mountain, although she is a first-class maid of the Northern Liang Wang Fu, but every year there will be two or three months in Dunhuang City, watched how the aunt deal with political affairs, those who are considered to be watching her grow up forces, only know that she is the “two kings” as the next head of the city to be valued to cultivate the niece, but do not know that she is a Jin Musi.

Walking down the hill past a flower garden, inadvertently encountered another early rise to do work for the old eunuch master Dongshou, standing outside the flower garden, sweet potatoes stand quietly.

The young eunuch has seen her from afar, vaguely some vague impression, will be her and benefactor fornication of the palace female officials, shy smile, coy and sincere. Carefully thinking about the stonemason adults really good vision, this sister looks like the mural Dunhuang Flying Fairy general.

Sweet Potato softly said, “Your name is Dong Shou?”

The little eunuch hurriedly put down the bronze kettle in his hand, and kneeled down to ask for peace, “Dongshou has met the female officer.”

Sweet Potato laughed, “Get up, after kneeling for a long time, that body of yours will need to be cleaned again. Twilight spring has a lot of rain, it’s going to rain in the next two days, in case it doesn’t dry out in the sun, it’s hard to wear.”

Dongshou slowly got up, eyes clear, smiling brightly said, “Female officer sister bodhisattva heart, guaranteed to be more blessed and more fortunate.”

Sweet Potato laughed brightly, “I was right, at a young age, you are a person with a heart. Your master’s phlegm is yellow and sticky, often repeated hemoptysis, is consumption, turn around I let someone give your master a cure, the root of the disease may not be eliminated, but can let him live out his twilight years in peace.”

Dongshou cried out with a wow, kowtowed: “Sister and Lord Stonemason are both living Goddesses, Dongshou will never dare to forget your great kindness in this life!”

Sweet Potato coldly said, “Crying and kneeling more, burning incense in the temple and kowtowing to the Buddha is a top habit in the palace.”

Waiting for the little eunuch to raise his head, has already disappeared the trace of the divine sister.

Sweet potato out of the tucked palace, between the two palaces in the middle of a delineation to do the thunder pool of the Yulong Road, a few by the aunt personally trained out of the death of the female officers are solemn standing, between the eyebrows through a look at death.

Walking together towards the White Elephant Gate, the southern gate of the Giant Immortal Palace, a googly-eyed female official said softly, “City Lord, of the five hundred Golden Golem Guards riding outside the palace, three hundred of the cavalrymen are loyal, and the remaining two hundred have been bribed.”

A female official with a tall figure resembling a stout man calmly said, “Miss, secret agents have sent word that, in addition to the Que Mending Platform wavering and unwilling to show up early, as well as the Yuwen and Duanmu two great clans holding their ground, the remaining several forces have openly gathered outside the White Elephant Gate, taking the opportunity to break into the palace for a coup. Among them, the Mao family has hired nearly a hundred jianghu people with heavy money, wanting to take advantage of the Jingwuwei weapon infighting to fish in troubled waters, and five hundred Jingwuwei outside the city will soon be rushing through the main city gates under Mao Rou’s leadership, and will then run towards the Giant Immortal Palace with great momentum, and the Purple and Gold Palace will not have any extra power to block it for the time being. Miss, I’m afraid that this will cause many neutrals to fall to that group of chaotic officials.”

A female official with a doll face and long purple satin dress frowned, “Palace Master, why don’t you let the slave girl contact the devil Luoyang, when the City Master was alive, he said that when this day comes, he can move this devil to suppress the rebellious forces. Even if it’s rejecting wolves and attracting tigers, it’s better than these white-eyed wolves that can’t be bred to be the new master of Dunhuang City ah, after all, Luo Yang is the nominal Palace Master of the Tucked Away Palace, the name is right and proper, and I believe that with Luo Yang’s status, he won’t be able to dove-tail too much.”

Sweet Potato reached out and nudged this female official’s forehead, teasingly said, “The elbow is turned towards that devil, Luoyang which has not yet entered Dunhuang city, in the future it will be better, may not I be sold?”

The doll-faced female official red-faced, puffed up her cheeks and said, “Palace Master is a bully!”

Along the way, a dozen more old eunuchs whose hands and sleeves were stained with blood were added one after another to solve the internal trouble in the palace. In front of the sweet potato are in the courtier to call themselves, they are sweet potato aunt before her death on the dark chess, there is no lack of originally seemed to fall into the hostile camp of the characters, once the real uncovering of the pot, know that these old eunuchs are indeed compared to those crotch with the handle of the jinwuwei ride more manly, more know how to recognize a master to be loyal, count those eunuchs under the rule of the dynasty of the internal strife, the dim emperor like to devolve the power to the side of the eunuchs, reusing the These eunuchs to fight with powerful ministers or foreign relatives, is not completely unreasonable. Powerful ministers can sit in the dragon chair, and relatives can approve the yellow robe, who has ever heard of a eunuch who doesn’t even have children or grandchildren to become the emperor himself?

Three dozen or so golden armored soldiers clad in heavy armor also joined the team.

Sweet potato smiled, he had a good grand death.

You always have to drag a few hundred people to be buried with you before you die.

In this way, Dunhuang City would be completely clean.

When the time came, it would be the turn of the Northern Liang forces, which even she did not know the details of, to start taking over.

The last time out of the northern Liang, listening to the tide of the pavilion Li Yishan face to face, is so calculated, step by step, she has no complaints.

Out of the northern Liang, will not return to the northern Liang.

Sweet Potato looked back at the north.

I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that.

She does not know, Dunhuang city gate.

A young man with a sword in the shape of a scholar, facing five hundred cavalry, a man of the pass, for her to guard the city gate alone.
