Chapter 852 Do you really have the guts?
Mo Yu collected his thoughts and said again: "Didn't you say you wanted to present the mechanical crossbow to His Majesty? Why didn't you take it out?"
Shen Shuyi said coldly: "I've changed my mind. Let's send people to secretly deliver the mechanical crossbows to Yancheng and Liangzhou."
First, Xiao Heyu colluded with the Luo Kingdom, and later, Xiao Tingshan teamed up with the Li clan to harm the soldiers of Liangzhou.
Shen Shuyi felt that it would be better to keep some cards in reserve.
After all, one chariot crossbow is enough.

After returning to Xie's house, Shen Shuyi still hadn't received Xie Jingchi's letter until the evening, and couldn't help feeling a little absent-minded.
Ever since he arrived in Liangzhou, he wrote to her every day, and it seemed to have become a habit for her.
Why is today so late?
Thinking about the news of Liangzhou's defeat that had just been received, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that the battle situation in Liang Province was not going well, and Xie Jingchi...had also gotten into trouble?
When he thought of this, Shen Shuyi felt a little uneasy.
After all, he was a military inspector who had no martial arts skills and was carrying the secret decree of Emperor Qianwu, so it seemed that this trip would not be smooth.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Shen Shuyi felt.
It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Shen Shuyi asked, "Has Xie Jingchi still not written a letter today?"
"Yes, ma'am."
After receiving the response, Shen Shuyi silently calculated the time. Today's letter was almost five hours later than before.
If Shen Shuyi had not received any news from Xie Jingchi within six hours, he would go to Liangzhou in person.
"Let Jiang Li and Jiu Chou come to see me, and send a message to Sister Xue Qing and Bao Kun, asking them to come over."
If you want to leave, you must make some arrangements before leaving.
Shen Shuyi turned around and went back to his desk, opened the map of Daqian and looked at it carefully.
The places she looked at were mostly the specific city defense and orientation layout of the capital. After all, she still had a lot of time to look at Liangzhou.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Shen Shuyi turned around and picked up the pen to write.
The Qingyuan Marquisate, the Wei family which is the descendant of the late queen, the Yin family which is dormant and does not care about worldly affairs, the Sun family which is on good terms with the grandmother's lineage, the Wang family represented by Taifu Wang, the Gu family which has a deep friendship with the Qingyuan Marquisate, and the Cheng family which follows his brother.
In addition, there is Tong Guan from the Jinyi Division, Wang Xi who has not been released yet, Tong Xuan who has just entered the palace, Shi Qifeng who hides in the dark, Mo Yu who is good at making mechanisms, and Lou Chengxuan who follows his brother...
Shen Shuyi was silently calculating the forces in his hands, which ones were reliable and which ones could be used for his own benefit.
This inventory took nearly an hour.
Shen Shuyi put down his pen: "Has Xie Jingchi not written yet?"
"No." Jinzhu shook her head worriedly.
Shen Shuyi made a prompt decision: "Pack up your things, we will set off for Liangzhou tomorrow."
"Yes!" The maids were stunned for a moment and immediately began to pack up.
After Shen Shuyi made up her mind, she started writing a letter to Shen Shuhan. Her brother was still taking exams, so she didn't have time to talk to him in detail, but she believed that her brother would be able to understand many things without her having to say them.
The only difference between her and him is that she knows more about the final situation of her previous life, while her brother is unaware of this.
When Shen Shuyi was halfway through writing the letter, Zhao Xueqing and Zhao Baokun arrived. After waiting for a while, Jiu Chou and Jiang Li also arrived.
"Miss, I'm a little late because I was counting the staff. Please forgive me!" Jiang Li spoke first.
"You're welcome. Take a seat." Shen Shuyi got straight to the point: "I plan to leave tomorrow and take people to Liangzhou. I plan to take one of you with me, and the other one will stay in Beijing. As for the manpower, I may take one third with me."
As soon as Shen Shuyi finished speaking, Jiu Chou said, "I'll go!"
Shen Shuyi looked at Jiang Li, and Jiang Li nodded: "Then I will stay in Beijing. It happens that there are some of my father's old subordinates in Beijing, and I am more familiar with the affairs."
"That's the best." Shen Shuyi nodded and reminded again: "I don't know how long I will be gone this time, but there are a few things you must be careful of."
Jiang Li looked more serious and nodded: "Miss, please go ahead."
"First, except for Li Ye's men, if you meet anyone from the Li clan in the capital, kill them without mercy."
"Yes!"
Now that the Sixth Elder is dead and Li Ye has sneaked back to the Li tribe, Xiao Tingshan's proposal has failed and he is being suspected. He will definitely collude with the people of the Li clan.
Therefore, if anyone from the Li clan appears in the capital again, they must be from the lineage of Xiao Tingshan and the second elder.
She asked Li Ye, and learned that people in the Li clan did not necessarily have to cut their wrists when casting a Gu spell, so these people were good at using Gu spells and had evil intentions, so they were hard to guard against.
The best way is to kill them on the spot to prevent any disaster!
Otherwise, the most terrifying thing would be if our own people were controlled by the Li clan.
"Second, continue to keep a close eye on Xiao Tingshan. However, this time he will definitely clear out the people around him, so remind our spies to be more cautious."
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi said softly, "Third, keep in touch with Tong Guan and Tong Xuan, and keep a close eye on the situation inside and outside the palace. While I'm away from Beijing, Xiao Tingshan might become desperate."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment: "A desperate dog will jump over the wall. What do you mean, Miss?"
Shen Shuyi said slowly: "If His Majesty is ill, Xiao Tingshan might rebel..."
"What?" Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, wondering where a sickly prince like him got the courage from?
He admitted that Xiao Tingshan did have some power, but... he didn't have the confidence to rebel, right?
Shen Shuyi chuckled: "You don't understand his obsession with power. He has never been recognized by anyone since he was a child, so he doesn't trust anyone, but he wants to prove himself like crazy."
Based on her understanding of him in her previous life, he would not miss this opportunity if given one.
Even in the end, he could only sit in that position for one day!
Of course, if he really sat in that position, he would do whatever it takes to survive.
For so long, he has been fighting and competing with her, but he has never been able to win and has been defeated miserably. Now if she leaves Beijing, he will definitely seize the opportunity.
No matter whether he was risking everything or doing something desperate, after all, given his personality, he would never take several years to achieve it slowly. After all, his body would not allow it.
On the contrary, if he is really made the crown prince, or ascends to that position, then he will naturally have greater power in his hands, which will naturally extend his life.
"Therefore, you must integrate the forces in your hands as much as possible and be prepared to respond at any time." Shen Shuyi reminded again.
Jiang Li nodded solemnly.
"Cousin, are you really going to Liangzhou? I'll go with you!" Zhao Baokun couldn't help himself.
Shen Shuyi shook his head: "You have to stay in the army. Grandfather is in control of the army now. Xiao Tingshan will definitely be on guard against him. So if he wants to control me and grandfather, he will most likely attack our relatives. You have to stay in the capital to protect the safety of my aunt, grandmother and even my brother."
Zhao Baokun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be responsible for such an important task. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Cousin, does Xiao Tingshan really have the guts to do this?"
