After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Northern border, Dacheng military camp.

Heavy snow continued for several days, and the soldiers of Dacheng could only stay in the camp to rest.

Although it was a rest period, in order to maintain the army's high morale, Jiang Ci'an ordered the soldiers to continue their daily training as usual and not to slack off.

Yuan Guang had just led the soldiers to complete a set of training. During the break, he went to the toilet.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard two people talking behind a low wall.

"Hey, have you heard? Bei Xin fought with Southern Dynasty and was defeated." said one person.

"I know. Didn't you receive a letter early this morning?" said another person.

"There is one more thing. Although Bei Xin was defeated, they kidnapped the princess of the Southern Dynasty..."

Yuan Guang’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Princess? You mean... the one who just returned to the Southern Dynasty from Dacheng?"

"That's right. I heard that the Southern Dynasty is now doing its best to hunt down the Beixin people."

"Is your information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. I overheard it outside the general's tent this morning..."

After a while, the sound behind the low wall disappeared.

Yuan Guang stood there in a daze, his whole body as if frozen and unable to move.

The sound of gathering came from afar, Yuan Guang came back to his senses and walked out with heavy steps.

Hearing the sound of his leaving footsteps, the two Beixin people behind the low wall smiled at each other.

"Go put the things down, and don't let anyone else see it," one person warned.

"Don't worry, I know..."

Yuan Guang returned to the team and looked at the soldiers in front of him with lifeless eyes.

The subordinate beside him noticed that something was wrong with him, "Deputy General Yuan, are you okay?"

Yuan Guang came back to his senses after being stunned. "I feel a little uncomfortable. You guys...you guys continue to practice. I will leave first."

"Yes, I obey your command." The subordinate watched him leave with some concern.

Yuan Guang returned to his tent in a daze, and suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes.

"Who is it!" He reacted and hurriedly chased after him.

But the black shadow circled around and soon disappeared.

Yuan Guang frowned tightly and returned to the tent with a worried look on his face, and saw a letter on the table in the middle.

He walked forward and opened the letter. There was only one sentence in the letter:

The life of the Princess of the Southern Dynasty must be exchanged for Jiang Ci'an.

Yuan Guang suddenly clenched the letter paper in his hand, and his chest heaved violently.

Yuanxin......

The Lord will camp.

Jiang Ci'an is arranging the next deployment of troops.

Although he had seen this many times, he still wanted to be more certain.

Seeing Yuan Guang walking in, Jiang Ci'an called him.

"Yuan Guang, you've come just in time. I have a new idea for the deployment of troops here. Come and take a look."

Yuan Guang walked towards him step by step, and Jiang Ci'an finally realized that something was wrong with him.

"what happened to you?"

Yuan Guang's eyes were deep as he stared at Jiang Ci'an without blinking.

"My sister is in trouble."

Jiang Ci'an's face froze.

It seems that he still couldn't hide it.

"You already know everything..." Jiang Ci'an threw the pen in his hand onto the table.

"Why did you hide it from me?" Yuan Guang asked angrily.

"Don't be angry first." Jiang Ci'an quickly comforted him, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I'm just worried that this matter will affect your fighting spirit..."

Yuan Guang felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest. "General, do you really not trust me?"

"I don't distrust you."

Jiang Ci'an scratched his head anxiously.

"Don't worry, the Southern Dynasty royal family has sent people to search for him. I believe they will find Yuan Xin soon."

Yuan Guang lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang Ci'an gritted his teeth and patted his shoulder, "Yuan Guang, we have finally reached this point and are about to win. Don't let this matter disturb your mind."

Yuan Guang stood there in silence, his throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Well, I see."

-

Zheng's house.

"Hahaha!"

"Brother He, this trick of yours is really great!"

"With the Southern Dynasty princess as a handle in your hand, are you still afraid that Yuan Guang won't obey you?"

"As long as Yuan Guang gets rid of Jiang Ci'an before the next war, the Jiang family army will lose their morale without their leader, and it will not be a big deal for Bei Xin to take over Da Cheng."

Zheng Ye was in a good mood when he received the news from Bei Xin.

Only then did he look at He Mingrong with new eyes. He didn't expect that this man was so capable.

He Mingrong just smiled and said nothing.

He thought that Yuan Guang would not attack Jiang Ci'an before the war.

For no other reason, after all, he was promoted all the way by relying on Jiang Ci'an, and even if he got rid of Jiang Ci'an, he would not joke about the war.

Once Jiang Ci'an defeats Bei Xin, Dacheng will no longer have its biggest enemy, and he can just sit back and reap the benefits.

He Mingrong looked at Zheng Ye with a happy face and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

I'll let you be proud for a few more days, and then I'll let you go down and accompany your masters.

Zheng Ye did not notice anything unusual about He Mingrong. He asked expectantly, "What should we do next?"

"Don't worry, follow the plan." He Mingrong reminded, "Don't forget that we still have a bargaining chip."

Zheng Ye narrowed his eyes, "You mean... Lu Jinzhou?"

He Mingrong sneered.

"Next, it's the turn of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Qingze County.

Xiao Yujing is arranging disaster relief matters with Zhang Huaiyun.

Qingze County was hit hardest by the disaster this time. All the officers and soldiers brought here have been arranged to rescue the people. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far.

The next thing is to comfort and rescue the people after the disaster. There are too many homeless people, and we need to find enough houses to accommodate them.

As the two were discussing, Birch walked in with a stack of account books.

"Your Highness, this is the account book found in the home of the magistrate of Qingze County." Burch placed the account book in front of Zhang Huaiyun's desk.

When Xiao Yujing and his party first arrived in Qingze County, in addition to arranging officers and soldiers to provide disaster relief, they also ordered people to investigate previous disasters for prevention purposes.

As he expected, the magistrate of Qingze County did not make advance arrangements for the snow disaster as required by the court, but instead appropriated the disaster relief funds issued by the court for himself.

Before they arrived, the county magistrate had already fled with his family overnight.

"Has the person been caught?" Xiao Yujing asked.

Burch bowed his head and replied, "Your Highness, not yet. But now that the city is blocked by heavy snow, I don't think they can run far."

"Yeah." Xiao Yujing nodded slightly.

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Huaiyun was looking through the account book and couldn't help coughing.

"I didn't expect Lord Xiao Zhang to be so weak." Birch joked.

Zhang Huaiyun had only been in Qingze County for two days and he had already caught a cold.

Zhang Huaiyun smiled weakly and was about to speak.

Xiao Yujing's ears moved, and he spoke sternly:

"Take the good stuff out, quick!"

As soon as the words fell, Burch reacted.

He quickly took the account books on the table that had not been opened yet into his arms, and pulled Zhang Huaiyun, who had a dazed look on his face, and ran out the door quickly.

The three of them rushed out of the room as quickly as possible.

As soon as I stood in the yard, I heard a loud noise behind me.

"Boom——"

The ground beneath my feet was shaking.
