Chapter 884 An army of 100,000 people with moisture
Shi Luo was not stopping him and asked someone to send Qiao Lin back to Ye’s mansion.
Mrs. Ye was excited and thought she would get rid of Qiao Lin, an annoying woman. Who knew that Qiao Lin was yawning the next day and came out for breakfast with a charming charm.
Mrs. Ye’s reaction was no less than seeing a ghost.
Qiao Lin sat down, picked up a piece of pastry, and looked at Mrs. Ye while eating, smiling: "What's wrong with sister? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Mrs. Ye kept her eyes calm and always felt that Qiao Lin smiled as terrifying as an evil ghost. She asked in a deep voice: "Where did you go last night?"
Qiao Lin pinched the pastry in her hand and looked at Mrs. Ye: "I haven't gone anywhere, I've gone out to drink, I'm back a little late."
Mrs. Ye stared at her for a long time, but she didn't say anything after all.
After breakfast, Mrs. Ye asked her to check where Qiao Lin went yesterday. She found out that she really went to drink last night, but not in the tavern, but in Wanhua Pavilion outside Pingcheng.
Mrs. Ye felt relieved, but she was so angry that she was so angry that she didn't think Qiao Lin was caught in the trap.
What a pity, I missed such a good opportunity to get rid of her.
In fact, Qiao Lin is helpless and it is easy for Mrs. Ye to kill her, but Ye Jiang likes her very much. If she is killed suddenly, it will affect her relationship with Ye Shoujie.
After so many years, she has been able to hold Ye Shoujie's heart all the time because of her brain and demeanor.
Ye Shoujie usually has women, but he just plays and never leads them into the mansion.
Qiao Lin was an accident, but Qiao Lin was also the object of jealousy and hatred by Mrs. Ye since she was a child. Her appearance was like a fish bone stuck in her throat. It was not fatal, but it was also uncomfortable.
Mrs. Ye thought that she had to find a way to get rid of Qiao Lin.
Mrs. Ye wanted to get rid of Qiao Lin, and of course Qiao Lin was not a person who was waiting to die. In the past, she was held in the palm of her hand by Mrs. Ye and dared not resist.
Now she has a backer, and the Princess of Nanyue is her backer. She is not fighting alone. Moreover, she has won Ye Jiang's favor and captured Mrs. Ye's weakness.
Mrs. Ye may not necessarily love Ye Shoujie, but she likes to be an official lady and likes the joy that everyone holds.
Her weakness is Ye Shoujie.
Qiao Lin felt that she had discovered something extraordinary.
She thought that the day of her revenge was not far away.
…
After seeing Qiao Lin off, when Wei Congxi came back, Shi Luo told Wei Congxi about the news that Qiao Lin was saying.
Wei Congxi said: "The guest they were receiving today was the shopkeeper of a tavern in the city. Ye Shoubei often went to his place to drink, but he never took the initiative to look for Ye Shoubei. Now that he is so anxious, he comes, which means there is something urgent."
Shi Luo said: "Is it related to Quanrong?"
Wei Congxi nodded: "When we came out, it snowed heavily in the Quanrong people. The life of the Quanrong people was not very good. Moreover, now Nanyue has captured Lanjing, and the King of Qi and Jin are busy competing for territory. The Great Zhou looked in chaos, and Quanrong naturally wanted to get a share of the pie. The first place they had to do was Hangu Pass Peace City."
They had expected this situation and were not surprised.
"Are we enough people here?" Shi Luo asked.
"It's okay." Wei Congxi counted. There were actually not many northwest troops in Hangu Pass Heping City, but more were defenders of the Great Zhou. They had heard of Xue Shao before, but recently they turned to Wei Congxi.
As for the 100,000 Northwest Army that they have always mentioned, it actually refers to the number of Northwest Army soldiers when Wei Xiao was alive.
Later, the Northwest Army was cut, framed and split by Li Shixiu, and the remaining ones were less than 40,000, plus those who died in battle and retired. In fact, the number of Northwest Army was less than 30,000.
Ten thousand people were transferred to Lanjing by Wei Congxi, and 10,000 people were scattered from all over the place, and the remaining ten thousand people were stationed in Pingcheng and Hangu Pass.
But the Quanrong army is not just such a few people. Shi Luo has been to Bailang City. It can be seen that they have been influenced by the Central Plains culture. The former leader was called Shanyu, but now he is called emperor, and has built palaces, etc. This is enough to prove that many people in the Quanrong are still brains. They are not fools. If they gather people to attack Hangu Pass, and Ye Shoujie cooperates with the inside and outside, Hangu Pass Peace City is theirs.
Now that I know that Ye Shoujie, as long as I capture the remaining fine work, my internal troubles will be solved. The 10,000 troops of the Northwest Army, coupled with Xue Shao's garrison and the strong city defense of Hangu Pass, the Quanrong could not take advantage of it.
Shi Luo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Every time you say 100,000 Northwest Army, I thought there were so many people."
Wei Congxi said: "I used to have it, but then I disappeared, and most of the troops were in the hands of Xue Shao."
"How many soldiers and horses do Xue Shao have?"
“Two hundred thousand.”
Shi Luo "..."
Prince Wei, who gave you the courage to use the emperor to command the princes?
Shi Luo felt that Xue Shao could quell the rebellion of the Great Zhou with his fingers.
Wei Congxi smiled and said, "Actually, every country likes to exaggerate. For example, 50,000 troops will be said to be 100,000, but Xue Shao's 200,000 are not that much."
Shi Luo laughed loudly: "That can't be 20,000 or 30,000."
Xue Shao is really interesting.
Wei Congxi looked at Shi Luo helplessly: "Don't look at me, I'm all elite."
Two thousand to two hundred thousand, the elite will be beaten to death.
Shi Luo did not continue to grab Prince Wei and asked, "What does Xue Shao mean there? Why doesn't this person care about anything?"
Wei Congxi's impression of Xue Shao was still based on Wei Xiao's evaluation of him. Wei Xiao recognized Xue Shao, so Wei Congxi did not feel disgusted with him.
"Will he help?" Shi Luo asked.
"Yes." Wei Congxi said: "My father said he was upright and loyal."
Shi Luo felt that Prince Wei was brainwashed by his father, and Xue Shao was loyal?
Lan Jingdu was occupied by Nanyue. Now Nanyue, King Jin and King Qi are fighting like black-eyed chickens. Xue Shao has an army of 200,000, but he just pretends not to know anything. If he had any loyalty, he would have acted long ago.
But he didn't.
Shi Luo reserved opinions on this person.
If it is a friendly army, everyone will be happy. If it is an enemy, Shi Luo feels that this person must be in trouble.
Mrs. Ye held several more banquets, and Shi Luo found that Mrs. Ye seemed very keen to hold a banquet of one kind or another to find a sense of existence.
Every time Qiao Lin is there, she appears out of place among the group of wives. Qiao Lin doesn't care at all, she just wants to disgust Mrs. Ye.
Other ladies and ladies also despise and dislike Qiao Lin.
Shi Luo participated several times and felt it was boring, so he didn't go much later.
However, the news brought back by Tang Feng was that Qiao Lin and Mrs. Ye had a fight at a banquet, and the Ye family had been very uneasy recently.
Shi Luo was a little worried about Qiao Lin, so he asked Tang Feng and Lan Yu to take a closer look.
The conflicts in Ye’s mansion are more serious than what they see.
Ye Shouzhen has been equipped with an honest man for so many years, and now he is with his sister-in-law. He feels excited and happy.
The whole person is relaxed.
With Qiao Lin's provocation, Ye Shoubei was determined to take a concubine.
This was strongly opposed by Mrs. Ye.
"Did you forget how you agreed to me when you got married? I have been ridiculed by so many people to marry you, and I don't care about how much you mess around outside, but I will never allow taking a concubine." Mrs. Ye cried.
Ye Shoubei left in a mess and felt a little guilty about Mrs. Ye.
But Qiao Lin was pressing her step by step. Ye Shoujie was sad to pass the beauty, but fortunately he kept Qiao Lin outside.
This time, Mrs. Ye broke out completely.
When Tang Feng spoke, Shi Luo was shocked.
Qiao Lin's operation is indeed surprising.
However, thinking of what she said, Shi Luo felt that nothing was left.
Who told Mrs. Ye to harm Qiao Lin first? It was said that when will the revenge be repatriated? But Shi Luo felt that it was unreasonable to say this.
Why should the victim forgive the perpetrator?
Qiao Lin's methods are not good, but she is a weak woman, which is probably the best way to avenge her.
What Shi Luo thought of was far less ruthless than Qiao Lin did.
