C1760

After the two Feng Country and Chuan Country armies converged, they immediately began to surround the Divine Pool.

This time, both Pingyuan Army and Pingyuan Army came out, with Xiao Muqing as the commander-in-chief and Zi Ying as the vice commander-in-chief. The ones on Chuan Army's side were the Third and Sixth Legions, the Chief General's Wei Heng and Jin Zhuo's Vice Commander-in-Chief.

He had originally thought that the two nations' four hundred thousand strong army would be able to completely encircle the Divine Pool. However, when the two armies began to move, they realized that the terrain surrounding the Divine Pool was too complex.

The commanders of the two armies, Xiao Muqing, Zi Ying, Wei Heng, and Jin Zhuo, gathered together to discuss.

Tang Yin had increased the number of Feiyu Army, while Xiao Xuan had increased the number of troops in his Fourth Army. As a result, the total number of troops from both countries that had gathered outside of Divine Pool had reached six hundred thousand.

A man goes beyond ten thousand, and a man goes beyond a hundred thousand. The six hundred thousand strong army had surrounded the Divine Pool to the point where not even a drop of water could leak out. Even the mountain forest was cleared up by the soldiers of the two armies.

Feng Country, Zhenjiang.

Right now, the encirclement of the Feng Country and Chuan Country by the two armies was progressing very smoothly, there were no movements from the Divine Pool side, so Tang Yin was not in a hurry to go into the army in front, he had to take advantage of this time to take care of some 'trivial' matters from the Zhenjiang.

On this day, after the imperial court dispersed, Tang Yin headed straight for's place, Hua Ying Palace. When he arrived, Wu Mei was chatting with a few servants. When they saw Tang Yin, the maids hastily bowed to him, then quickly left.

Wu Mei got up and asked with a smile: "Why are you here so early? Don't you have to handle the government matters?"

"Hmm, today is a bit more leisurely." Tang Yin laughed, pulled Wu Mei and sat down, then asked: "Meier, your birthday is in a few days, right?"

Hearing that, Wu Mei's face beamed with joy, and she said in surprise, "So it turns out you still remember."

Tang Yin replied: "Of course, how could I forget about that!" Pausing, he immediately continued, "Don't overdo it on your birthday this time ?"

Wu Mei was startled, and then asked. "Is it because the treasury is empty? I heard that Master Zhang has been saying that there isn't enough silver left. "

Tang Yin laughed, and waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with that, if the national treasury is really empty, with Zhang Zhe's personality, it will not only be talk." Most likely, he had already rushed into the palace to seek him out for an explanation.

Hearing this, Wu Mei laughed, she really had a thorough understanding of Zhang Zhe's personality! She asked, "If it's not because the treasury is empty, then why is it?"

Tang Yin said: "When Meier was birthed, it was a bit smaller, so you do not need to invite your close friends to attend, you only need to gather with Rou Er, Xiao Min and the others."

Seeing the surprise on Wu Mei's face, he said: "Meier should have heard about what happened in King Chuan Palace, right?"

"Darling, are you talking about the spies of the Divine Pool?"

"That's right!" With Divine Pool being able to place the trifling matter next to King Chuan's pillow, I am worried that the same thing will happen to me. " Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly.

"How is that possible!" Although Tang Yin was not a pure hearted person, he was definitely not someone who coveted women. His women were only the princess consort and the four wives, and he didn't even have a concubine. If one were to say that there was a spy amongst the people he cared about, he would be either the princess consort or the four ladies.

Tang Yin replied, "It's naturally best if we don't have it, but we can't not be cautious!"

Wu Mei looked like she did not know Tang Yin, and looked at him with a face full of astonishment. After a while, she muttered: "You ? Don't even believe us? "

Seeing the injuries in her eyes, Tang Yin hurriedly pulled Wu Mei into his embrace and said softly, "If I don't believe you, how would I tell you all this?"

Amongst all the girls, only Wu Mei had trained in the Spirit Martial Realm, so Tang Yin believed that she was definitely not a spy sent by Guang Xuanling.

While Tang Yin was speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeves and handed it over to Wu Mei, and said: "This is the Spirit-gathering Pill, on your birthday, you can invite your sisters to come over for a meal. At that time, mix the Spirit-dispersed Pill in the wine and let them drink."

Wu Mei slowly received the porcelain bottle from Tang Yin and did not reply for a long time. Tang Yin said: "It's just a Spirit-gathering Pill, it won't harm anyone. I also believe that there won't be any spies amongst them, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it is better to be careful. "

Gripping the small porcelain bottle tightly, Wu Mei asked: "Does everyone want to drink it?"

Tang Yin nodded his head, and said seriously: "Since we are going to probe, we must do it with absolute certainty, if not, we might as well not do it."

After saying all that, he changed the subject and continued, "At that time, I will find an excuse to leave the Zhenjiang. If I am not present, it would be more convenient for you to act."

Wu Mei softly replied, then frowned and asked: "Is there really a need to do so?"0

Tang Yin gave a long sigh and said: "Do as I say, I... I also hope that they are alright! "

Seeing the helplessness and bitterness on his face, Wu Mei suddenly understood that the matters in the King Chuan Palace must have shocked him quite a bit, and reminded him to be careful at all times.

She couldn't help with the matter of Anterior Palace, but with regards to the harem, she should be able to help out a bit. Thinking about it, she took a deep breath, pulled Tang Yin's hand and said: "Husband, don't worry, Meier will take care of this matter well!"

Tang Yin patted the back of Wu Mei's delicate hand and laughed bitterly: "It's hard on you."

Three days later, it was Wu Mei's birthday. According to Tang Yin's intentions, she did not arrange a great feast in the palace, and did not even invite her own parents. She only set up a simple banquet in her own palace, inviting Yin Rou, Fan Min, Yuan Qianyi, Shauna, and Shauna to attend.

There were two other people among her invitations, namely Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan.

Inviting the two of them was Tang Yin's intention. Firstly, it showed that his Feng Country placed importance on the two of them, and secondly, it was also the most important point, if there was a small matter that was revealed during the banquet, with the two of them present, not only would the small matter not injure the others, it would also be difficult to escape.

As for Tang Yin, with the excuse that something unexpected had happened in the garrison, he left the Zhenjiang City and went to the outside of the city.

In the afternoon, the invited guests all came to Wu Mei's Palace of Hua-Ying one by one. Of course, none of them came empty-handed, even Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan had prepared exquisite gifts. When Fan Min arrived, she immediately laughed out loud in the hall, and said to the 'birthday' Wu Mei who was sitting in the middle: "Birthday is big, why only held such a small banquet, I heard that the King has already left the city, seems like the King isn't as fond of you as she was in the past!"

Her words were filled with schadenfreude, it was a rare opportunity to ridicule Wu Mei, she would not miss this chance.

Wu Mei was also not someone who could be easily bullied, she scolded angrily: "Shut your crow's beak, if you don't want to stay here, go back to your palace!" There was no need for Fan Min to probe her at all. Wu Mei was one thousand percent certain that she was not a spy from the Divine Pool. The two of them were too familiar with each other, they had known each other since childhood and they had quarreled ever since. Until now, if Fan Min was a spy, she would still dare to chop off her head and use it as a kick.

Of course Fan Min would not leave. Looking at Wu Mei being thwarted, she secretly felt that it was too late. How could she leave?

She smiled as she sat down and looked around, saying, "Missus, there are only these few people that come to congratulate you on your birthday, so I'll stay behind to accompany you!"

Wu Mei rolled his eyes at her, and was about to reply, when Yin Rou walked in from outside. When Yin Rou arrived, she took the initiative to give up the main seat and sat by her side. No matter what, Yin Rou was an imperial concubine, her status was a level higher than her.

After that, Shauna and Yuan Qianyi also arrived one after another, and the previously empty hall finally became lively.

Yin Rou sat for a while, raised her eyes and looked at the outside of the hall, then moved her body closer to Wu Mei and asked: "Yin, are you really not coming anymore? Today is the birthday of big sister Charming! "

Wu Mei laughed, and said in a low voice: "The King has matters to attend to, so it is better to take care of the important matters ?"

Before she could finish speaking, Fan Min blinked her innocent eyes and interrupted: "It's really strange, there's nothing wrong with the camp, nothing happened at night, and we just happened to rush over to Missus Le Ping's birthday, the King couldn't be purposely hiding from you, right?"

Hearing this, all the girls had helpless expressions on their faces. In truth, Fan Min was a good person, although she usually treated others coldly, she was not evil, but as long as she was in front of Wu Mei, she immediately became sarcastic and mean. Of course, Wu Mei's attitude towards her was not that bad, the moment the two of them met, they would argue, and it was impossible to find a time to talk to each other.

"Elder sister Min, don't say that ?" Yin Rou carefully cried out for Wu Mei.

"Rou Er doesn't need to care about her. She can't even talk like a dog, she's naturally a villain!" Wu Mei glared fiercely at Fan Min, then spoke to the palace maids on her left and right: "Everyone's here, serve the wine and dishes!"

"Yes!" "Madam!" The maids on both sides of the hall complied and filed out. Before long, the palace maids came back with wine and food in their hands and placed them in front of the tables.

Although the banquet was not grand, the dishes were quite sumptuous. Everyone's table was full, with a full-time palace maid waiting behind. As long as they saw any dishes that they didn't touch the chopsticks or were sick of, they would immediately switch to a new dish.

Following the palace maids pouring wine for everyone, Yin Rou picked up his cup first, and said: "Sister, please enjoy this one cup for now!"

Looking at Yin Rou's innocent and ignorant smile, Wu Mei's heart was filled with guilt. She forced a smile as she raised her cup and said, "I also want to toast Little Sister Rou Er!"
