From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 693

After the recovery of the Central Plains, the situation in the southwest became increasingly tense. Ye Qingying could not rest, so she volunteered to be transferred to Guizhou and lurked in the Miao village.

The Inner Court had its own means, identity design, proof of origin, everything was comprehensive, and there were also hidden stakes buried for many years. Ye Qingying stayed here smoothly.

Calculating the time, there were only three months to two years. She almost knew everything about Shuixi and was just waiting for Zhou Yuan to come.

During this long period of time, earth-shaking changes had taken place outside. The Tianjin Peace Talks, the Assassination of the Emperor, the Fujian-Guangdong Naval Battle, the bombardment of the enemy chieftain, the Jiangnan Salt Inspection, the suppression of Mongolia, and the siege of Huang Taiji, she received intelligence on every single thing, and was shocked that the little junior brother continued to grow and had become a real pillar of the family and country, and her longing for him gradually deepened.

So now that they were hugging each other, although she was angry, she did not push him away, but felt his warmth and satisfied her longing.

"Hmph!"

Cai Ni snorted again, expressing her dissatisfaction.

But the two of them obviously ignored her. Zhou Yuan whispered, "Will Second Senior Sister be willing to throw me out?"

Ye Qingying bit her silver teeth and continued to whisper to him, "If you dare to take advantage of me, I will dare to throw you out."

Zhou Yuan said, "Back then in the Baihua Pavilion in Yunzhou, Junior Brother risked his life and didn't hand over Second Senior Sister."

Ye Qingying said, "Can't you just not mention that? Just for this one thing, how many years have you bullied me?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Is Second Senior Sister living well here?"

"Of course."

Ye Qingying smiled He said, "This place is far from worldly disputes. Except for the annoying Miao soldiers, everyone else is easy to get along with. Someone even introduced me to a partner."

Zhou Yuan said, "Did you agree?"

Ye Qingying said, "Of course I agreed. I've already given birth to a baby and it's hidden in the cellar."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but pinch her and said, "She's so beautiful, she doesn't look like she's had a baby!"

"Sir!"

Cai Ni finally couldn't help it and pouted, "Sir, you don't feel sorry for Cai Ni when you see someone you love!"

The two finally separated. Ye Qingying's face turned red and she glared at Zhou Yuan fiercely.

Then she looked at Cai Ni and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Hey, who is this? Isn't this the witch from the Wusheng Sect? Now she has become a good woman?"

Who is Cai Ni afraid of when she talks nonsense?

She immediately said proudly: "Hey, who is this? Isn't he the defeated general from the past!"

"In terms of martial arts, you are not my opponent, and you have to rely on the young master to save your life."

"In terms of other means, you are not my opponent either. When the young master and I were making out in Shenjing, you were still eating pickled vegetables here."

Ye Qingying was almost mad to death, pointing at Cai Ni and said: "Witch, don't be so proud! He is my junior brother! I will definitely report to Master and ask Master to separate you!"

Cai Ni tilted her head and smiled: "It's impossible to separate! I have already broken the young master's flesh and blood!"

At this point, she pretended to be shy and threw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms, saying in a delicate voice: "Oh, young master, Cai Ni accidentally Tell the secret!"

"Ah! You witch!"

Ye Qingying rolled up her sleeves and shouted: "If you have the guts, fight me again. Do you think I'm still afraid of you?"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Senior sister, calm down. Just admit it. When it comes to talking, you are no match for Cai Ni."

Cai Ni challenged: "It's not just quarreling. She is not as good as Cai Ni in martial arts, appearance, singing, playing musical instruments, dancing, writing and poetry."

Ye Qingying said angrily: "Nonsense! I may not lose to you in terms of musical instruments!"

Zhou Yuan was surprised: "You can also play musical instruments?"

Ye Qingying said: "I can play the flute!"

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth wide and was almost choked by the air.

Cai Ni chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, this instrument is very interesting. Let's compete and see who the master is more satisfied with."

Zhou Yuan whispered, "Cai Ni, stop talking."

Ye Qingying hummed unconvincedly, "Let's compete. My master taught me to play the flute. I won't be worse than anyone else."

Cai Ni said, "Then let your master participate."

"Cai Ni! Her master is my master!"

Zhou Yuan said with a gloomy face.

Cai Ni hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Master, Cai Ni didn't mean it."

"Let the master participate in the future."

Zhou Yuan said, and heard the movement outside, and his face became serious.

Ye Qingying was too lazy to argue with this witch, so she whispered, "Come to the cellar with me."

She opened the water tank and took up the cover at the bottom of the water tank. Everyone got in one after another.

Then, she blocked the cover and poured two buckets of water into the water tank. It was completely safe now.

Few people in the south dig underground cellars.There was no cellar in the cave, because it was too humid, and water would soon accumulate if it was dug out.

In order to hide some key items and to serve future plans, Ye Qingying slowly dug out this not-too-small cellar in the past two years.

She waited patiently until there was no movement outside, and did not call Zhou Yuan and others.

Sure enough, at noon, the Miao soldiers failed to find Zhou Yuan and others, and began to search door to door.

Several soldiers also came here, and after searching both sides and not seeing anyone, they hurried away.

It was not until this time that Ye Qingying cleared the water in the water tank, opened the lid, and said, "You can come out."

So, the five people slowly climbed out from inside, gasping for breath, and their clothes were almost wet.

It was very humid inside, and there was water on the ground. The two hours were like a year for everyone.

Seeing Cai Ni's embarrassed look, Ye Qingying felt relieved and said, "Witch, did you see that? I saved your life this time."

Cai Ni was about to refute, but Zhou Yuan covered her mouth. He smiled and said, "Cai Ni, we are under the eaves, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little loss."

Cai Ni smiled sweetly and said in a delicate voice, "I listen to my husband."

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Ye Qingying.

Ye Qingying was furious, until she couldn't argue with this witch, so she simply stopped arguing.

She took a few handkerchiefs and said, "Wipe them all, and then tell us what happened."

Zhou Yuan was about to reach out to take it, but Cai Ni took the handkerchief and wiped Zhou Yuan carefully.

Wipe hands and face, it seems that she played the role of a little wife to the fullest.

Zhou Yuan let her play and said in a deep voice: "Because we had no choice, we killed more than a dozen Miao soldiers and were discovered."

"This is Grandpa Li Song from Yuequan Village. He brought us here to find Shi Hai. We plan to unite with the anti-war faction and make a scene."

"Fortunately, I found Zhuang Xuansu before I left and asked for your detailed information here, otherwise there would be no way to escape this time."

Ye Qingying said: "I walked out the map here step by step, and it was very detailed, but you happened to find it. It's also a skill."

"But I want to remind you that I have been here for two years. I know very well that there are many anti-war factions, but they can't affect the overall situation. . ”

She frowned and said in a deep voice: "In the Hundred Villages of Shuixi, whether it is the Miao, Yi, or Dong people, almost all the major villages are against the war, but those who are against the war are the elderly and women, and only the middle-aged and young men have the right to speak."

"It is too difficult to use the elderly and women to influence the middle-aged and young men."

Zhou Yuan said: "Why are the elderly and women against the war?"

Ye Qingying said: "Life is hard. Men go out to fight, and women have to do all the work. How to do it? They are not strong enough, and can only watch the fields slowly go to waste, and can only watch the family get poorer step by step."

"The same is true for the elderly, who persuaded No matter how many times, it's useless. "

"These young and middle-aged men in the village have long been fooled by the chieftain. "

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "The chieftain can fool ten people, a hundred people or even thousands of people, but he can never fool tens of thousands of people."

"Don't the young and middle-aged men in the village care about the barren fields? Don't they care about the poorer family? Don't they care about the life and death of the elderly and women?"

Ye Qingying said, "Of course they care, but things have come to this point, and it's hard to get off the tiger."

"They are afraid of the chieftain, and they are also afraid that the Han army will come to take revenge, so there is no way out."

Zhou Yuan sneered, "Then let them hate the chieftain, let him They are not afraid of the Han army, let them have a way out, give them hope. "

"With hope and a way out, no one will be willing to fight."

Li Song said excitedly: "Well said! As long as there is a good life, who wants to fight."

Ye Qingying nodded and said: "This analysis is not wrong, I do have a way."

Speaking of this, she looked at Cai Ni and laughed: "Look, you can't say a word in this matter, you are just a little vase of my junior brother."

Cai Ni's face changed, and she immediately said: "Who said I can't say a word! I...I..."

She was at a loss for words for a while, and couldn't find a reason to refute.

Zhou Yuan looked at the old enemies and couldn't help laughing. Why do they have to quarrel every time they meet? The grudges in Yunzhou are really deep.
