Chapter 102: The palace that's not quite right...
"Is Mr. Jiang here? The prince invites him to have lunch together."
The person talking outside the door was a young-looking girl. Liu Yan frowned slightly. The maids in the royal palace seemed to be of this type, young and beautiful, and no one was over twenty years old...
This is generally unlikely in the Dafu mansion. The bigger the house, the more trivial things, the more necessities it needs to work and be more neatly. It is unlikely that all of them are vases, but in fact, the entire palace, the maids she could see were so young, even the kitchen cook.
"Wait a moment, I will notify my young master..." Liu Yan replied slightly and retreated to the room. After a while, Liu Yan walked out: "Wait a moment, the young master washes and goes to meet the prince."
"Oh, then I'll go back first." The maid laughed and said with a smile, as if she had completed the task.
Liu Yan was stunned: "Don't you take us there?"
The palace is so big, and someone must lead the way where to have lunch.
"Oh..." The maid reacted and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "Don't blame me, I'm a little confused for a moment."
"It's okay..." Liu Yan smiled, but she became more and more confused. She didn't seem confused, but was very unfamiliar. These maids were not like maids trained in places of the royal palace at the level.
The nobler the palace, the more rules it is, and these maids feel like they have only bought them outside.
Asking the other party to wait outside and return to the room, Liu Yan whispered his doubts to Jiang Sheng who was washing. Jiang Sheng responded while washing his face: "Yuanshan also mentioned it yesterday. They were hungry at night and wanted to find food, but those maids couldn't even find the kitchen."
Liu Yan: "Why do you think this is the case?"
"It's all changed." Jiang Sheng wiped his hands dry and looked at the young maids outside through the window and said, "A subordinate of a royal mansion is basically a family child raised by several generations. He has been trained since he was a child. It is impossible to say that he doesn't even know where the kitchen is. These maids are so unfamiliar, they can only buy them temporarily from outside, which means that the former subordinates of the royal mansion have been replaced."
"Swap them all?" Liu Yan's eyelids twitched: "Class of the Crown Prince..." A terrible guess surged in his heart, but he thought it was wrong and always felt that it was not right. Everyone knew that King Liang was the only legitimate son, and his future position as the prince was his. Why do you need to do such a thing?
It was naturally inconvenient for Jiang Sheng to talk more about the body-taking to Liu Yan. After putting on his coat, he said, "Let's go."
Xiao Heng would attack Liang Wang and Jiang Sheng had expected that Jiang Sheng would do it, but he couldn't figure out why it was so smooth?
Liang's throne is of high power, so he has to be a little confidant after all. He is controlled without knowing his life and death, so no one can ask?
After the two went out, they followed the rash maid all the way to the East Courtyard. The royal palace was built very large, and the backyard was comparable to the park in a community in Echeng. It can only be said that the ancient aristocratic enjoyment was indeed not comparable to that of modern people.
When he was walking to the east gate, Jiang Sheng saw a young woman coming in from outside the mansion with several maids. Jiang Sheng was slightly stunned and asked in a low voice: "Who is that?"
"Ah?" The maid was confused when asked, which made Jiang Sheng even more speechless. This guy couldn't recognize everyone in the mansion, right?
"That's the second lady of the royal palace, Xiao Yue!"
A cold and faint voice suddenly came from behind, which shocked Jiang Sheng's eyelids and jumped. Liu Yan next to him also turned around in a terrifying manner. Someone was so close that she had no sense of consciousness. She had encountered such a thing for the first time since she merged with the green snake!
Jiang Sheng's eyes were flowing in black and white, and he was calm in an instant, and he turned around helplessly and said, "Miss Chen Ying, isn't it good for you to be like this? It's easy to scare people."
"I didn't see you were scared." The woman was the pioneer who held the Han Long master card. At this time, she looked at Jiang Sheng quietly and whispered: "But it feels very strange. It seems that it is not difficult to get close to you, but I always feel that if I hold the murderous intent, I can't get close to you. Why?"
"Ha...Is it an illusion..." Jiang Sheng beat him up and signaled his maid to continue leading the way. He pointed to the woman in the distance and asked, "Do you recognize that girl?"
"Well... I saw it once yesterday." Chen Ying nodded slightly and said, "The King of Liang only married a wife and gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son Xiao Heng was innately weak and kept him at home. However, the second daughter Xiao Yue was very popular. No one in the Moyang family did not recognize this person."
"It's very popular?" Jiang Sheng was stunned, feeling more and more that something was wrong.
"It's strange, right?" Chen Ying leaned closer and whispered: "Even though he had changed all the maids and guards, he made this sister who loves to show off and runs around..."
Jiang Sheng nodded slightly. This is indeed not logical, because if the other party used special means to control King Liang, then the diplomacy of acquaintances should be eliminated. After all, King Liang has many confidants, and it is easy to pose risks if he is found out by his subordinates outside.
But as Chen Ying said, why did this legitimate daughter who loves to show off? Are you not afraid of her going out to say anything? Or is this legitimate daughter a fool, and she has no sense of such a big thing happening in her family?
As he was speaking, the woman in red in the distance seemed to have noticed Jiang Sheng and others, bowed from afar and left the other one. Jiang Sheng frowned and said, "Have you tried to contact her?"
"No..." Chen Ying shook her head: "It's better to be low-key in other people's territory."
"It's good that you know." Jiang Sheng gave her a blank look.
The two of them chatted without a word. After a while, the maid in front of them led the way to the east courtyard. The yard was filled with fragrance. The food had already been arranged, and the people were also very well arrived.
In addition to Wang Ye and the Scar Man who were hospitalized together, the remaining few people living outside also came. Jiang Sheng knew that he was afraid that there would be news from Yuwen Hu.
Sure enough, as soon as I sat down, I heard Xiao Heng say, "Yuwen Hu is here, I will probably be at the city tomorrow!"
"How many people?" Jiang Sheng asked curiously.
"Thirty thousand Tianlin Army!" Xiao Heng said while serving rice: "From Tianshui and Qingyang, as expected, the leading commander was Yuwen Hu, and all the men he trained were brought with him!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. This is good news. If one or two are missing, I don't know where to find it.
"Then how many people are we guarding the city?" This time the question was Wang Ye.
"Five thousand!" Xiao Heng stretched out his five fingers and said.
"What?" Scarface was stunned: "That's the point? Mo Yang is the capital of Bingzhou, so this defender is not right?"
"No way..." Xiao Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The king and prince lineage have been reduced several times, and the taxes they can collect are getting less and less every year. How can they afford to support many soldiers? In other words, the situation in the past two years is wrong, and the father expanded his army temporarily, but they were all used to defend Mobei. Xiao went to the north. Moyang's position is so safe, so of course there are fewer defenders..."
Everyone: "......"
"But don't worry..." Xiao Heng smiled and said, "The Bagua Formation can trap 100,000 elite soldiers!"
When everyone heard this, they rolled their eyes and sniffed directly: "That is the Bagua Formation that Zhuge Liang personally set up. How many levels are you?"
"So..." Xiao Heng's smile continued to decline: "You can't make a mistake tomorrow, otherwise... everyone will be done!"
