Female General And Eldest Princess

Sure enough, as Shao Yao said, before Lin Wanyue and Shao Yao sat down for a while, Su Xipo came down from the second floor in person.

He went straight to Lin Wanyue and Shaoyao's case and stood still: "Young master, you are on the lower Suxi slope, just now you saw his handsome appearance upstairs, I wonder if you would like to have a talk with me on the second floor?"

Lin Wanyue didn't expect to be caught by Shaoyao's words, she was overjoyed; she got up and bowed to Su Xipo, "I'm going to Lin Fei, so I'll bother you."

When Lin Wanyue stood up, Su Xipo immediately noticed the jade pendant tied around Lin Wanyue's waist, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lin's jade pendant is really unique."

Hearing Su Xipo's words, Lin Wanyue's heart immediately rang alarm bells, she looked at Su Xipo unobtrusively and said with a casual smile, "This jade pendant is a gift from a friend."

"Hahahaha, that must be a beautiful woman, brother Lin is so lucky!"

Hearing Su Xipo's words, Li Xian's smile flashed before Lin Wanyue's eyes, but she didn't answer.

In this way, Lin Wanyue made acquaintance with Su Xipo under the name of the young owner of the ready-made clothing business at home.He also made an appointment with Su Xipo to go to the capital to see the scale of Su's cloth shop, so as to do some business in the future.

Su Xipo had no doubts about what Lin Wanyue said, so he dragged Lin Wanyue to drink and chat without further ado.

In the end, Su Xipo not only covered all the money for the meal, but also picked a girl who had just been sold in for Lin Wanyue and hadn't made her face yet, so that Lin Wanyue could try something new.

Lin Wanyue said that she couldn't help it, so she had to punish herself with three cups. Amidst the laughter, Fang left Baihualou in embarrassment.

Lin Wanyue thought that if she found a reason to go on the road with Su Xipo, she would be able to find out the clues of Su's cloth business, but she didn't expect that Su Xipo was not in a hurry at all, and stopped in Fanli City all of a sudden. For more than ten days, I played and sang every night, and got drunk every day in the Baihualou.

For more than ten days, Lin Wanyue has been extremely anxious but has nothing to do...

On the one hand, Su Xipo moved away from Huzhou City overnight, but he was not in a hurry when he arrived in Fanli City. He stayed in Hualiu for more than ten days, which is really suspicious.

On the other hand, Lin Wanyue was afraid that if she suspected that she was in the wrong direction, if the Su family's business was innocent, then the more than ten days of delay would be in vain, and the clues to food and grass would definitely be broken!

In recent days, Lin Wanyue has always had a very bad feeling, a feeling of being seen through and having nothing to hide has been lingering in her heart.

She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she always felt as if she had lost the opportunity at the beginning, which made Lin Wanyue even more uneasy.

The food and grass were lost, and if the rations for the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yangguan City could not be found for the winter, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lin Wanyue didn't regret taking this matter over, she was just afraid that because of her own mistakes, countless comrades in arms would suffer from starvation and cold.

However, what Lin Wanyue didn't know was that during the more than ten days she had been dealing with Su Xipo, several major events had happened outside.

The first thing: Li Zhong, the prince of the Marquis of Pingyang, has returned. Regarding Li Zhong's return, the entire Marquis of Pingyang's mansion is secretive, but there are many versions circulating in the market...

Some said that the kidnappers just thought they had captured a rich man, but they didn't expect it to be the heir of Marquis Pingyang.

Others said that the tiger father had no dogs, and Pingyang Hou Shizi took advantage of the kidnapper's carelessness and snatched the kidnapper's weapon. He fought bloody all the way and ran away by himself.

Some people also said that the kidnappers took a sky-high ransom in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and then released him.

In short, there are different opinions and no consensus.

Which one is the truth of the matter?Nobody knows……

The second thing: General Li Mu listened to Lin Feixing's advice and withdrew his troops to Yangguan City overnight to defend. This has no complaints.

Li Mu's army has been standing outside Yangguan City to confront the Huns all year round, protecting the safety of the people in the entire northwest. Moreover, Li Mu's army is strictly governed and is a benevolent and righteous army, which is deeply loved by the local people. Half of the city was used as a place for troops to settle down. Instead of complaining, the people often saw smiles on their faces. They felt that living with the troops gave them a sense of security.

The third thing: According to Lin Wanyue's instructions, Meng Nida notified Li Mu on the one hand, and on the other hand took the handwritten letter stamped with Li Mu's seal to the patrol camp to second a troop.

General Li Mu's reputation spread far and wide. After seeing the handwriting, the chief of the patrol battalion immediately put under martial law in Huzhou City. All warehouses, rice warehouses, large private houses, including the former site of the prefect's mansion, and large motorcades passing by were all searched, but... nothing was found. There are hundreds of carts of grain and grass used by hundreds of thousands of troops for the winter.

Meng Ni was dumbfounded, and the people in Huzhou City were also turned on their backs. For a while, there were a lot of discussions and public grievances. Meng Ni couldn't hold back the scene and had to take the people sent by Li Mu to go door to door to apologize to the people. Finally, Meng Ni I can only pin my hopes on Lin Feixing, hoping that those "disappeared" food and grass will be hidden in Su's cloth line...

Otherwise, what would they eat for the winter?

Where did so much food go?Meng Nida couldn't figure it out no matter what!

The last incident can be said to have shocked the government and the public, and was even recorded by the officials.

Besides, after Lin Feixing left, Li Mu reacted belatedly: I am afraid that the food and grass will not be found.

Sitting in the big tent, Li Mu flashed several figures in his mind one after another, and finally let out a long sigh helplessly.

It's just that Li Mu never imagined that the smoke of the palace struggle would eventually permeate his northern border, and these people were so crazy that they were willing to take the risk of the northern border being destroyed and shaking the country.

Li Mu knew that this matter could not be concealed, and he couldn't just joke about the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northern border, so he immediately wrote a letter to the current saint, Li Zhao, and reported it to the capital in a hurry.

The herald traveled day and night without sleep, and rushed towards the capital one by one, almost exhausted, and finally delivered the report to Li Zhao's imperial case in the early morning of the fourth day.

Li Zhao was startled when he saw the scarlet mud on the bamboo tube: Could it be that the northern border fell?

After opening it, Li Zhao was silent, and the whole imperial study room was eerily quiet.

In the end, the officer in charge of escorting the grain and grass in the capital was directly sentenced to the head of the owl, and all the soldiers escorted were changed to slave status and sent to various places to serve in corvee for life.

And Li Mu...

Li Zhao fined him three years' salary and gave him a hundred army sticks to settle the matter.

For Li Mu, who owns thousands of households, the imperial salary is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and the real punishment is actually the army stick.

As the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Armed Forces, the uncle of the state, and Li Mulai, who was ranked first-rank army, he was beaten with a hundred military sticks in front of his sergeant. Even though no one dared to hit Li Mu hard, in the end, Li Mu's face was regarded as lost...

For the sake of the overall situation, Li Mu did not say that he was beaten because of the loss of food and grass. Any soldier in the army who spoke out against Li Mu and complained was rewarded with a stick by Li Mu, so no one stood up for Li Mu anymore. There are very few people.

Just overnight, Li Mu seemed to have aged a lot. After losing so much food and grass, Li Zhao's punishment was considered light, but Li Mu knew that Li Zhao must have become suspicious.

As for the imperial court, Li Zhao did not explain what was going on. After punishing Li Mu, he immediately issued an order to urgently allocate food and grass from the treasury. He ordered soldiers to escort the food and grass all the way to Yangguan City.

The discerning people in the court immediately knew that there was a problem with the food and grass a while ago, but Li Zhao deliberately pressed down, so this matter was not put on the agenda.

As for why Li Zhao lost so much food and grass, he would rather suffer this hidden loss abruptly than choose to keep it secret. Some people understand, while others are confused.

Li Zhao looked at Li Mu's handwriting over and over again, his eyes fixed on the seven characters "Missing, can't be found", speechless for a long time.

……

Lin Wanyue was looking forward to it, and Su Xipo finally sent someone to inform her that it was time to leave.

When Lin Wanyue and Bian Kai arrived outside the city on horseback, Su Xipo was already waiting outside the city with the convoy, and set off as soon as Lin Wanyue arrived.

Lin Wanyue felt dizzy and dizzy for a while, her hands were tightly clutching the reins, her expression was ugly and frightening.

Cloth, cloth, cloth!

Hundreds of cars are all covered with cloth, bundled together, stacked high, covered with tarpaulin, it is clear at a glance, each bolt is square and long!

Only a few cars were loaded with boxes, and the boxes were locked, but it was impossible for such a small number of boxes to hold so many meters!

Su Xipo looked at Lin Wanyue with a smile, and asked, "Little Brother Lin, you seem to be in a bad mood. Are you reluctant to part with a girl from Baihualou? Do you want my brother to redeem it and give it to you?"

Lin Wanyue rode on Long Ran's back, looked at Su Xipo, and then at the cars lined up end to end outside the city, feeling like a person stuck in a spider's web, unable to break free, Can't run away.

"Su...Brother, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the capital with my brother..."

"Oh... so, what a pity! But the green hills remain unchanged, and the green waters flow forever. Brother Lin, see you in the capital."

Lin Wanyue grinned, showing a dry smile: "Hey, see you in Beijing."

Su Xipo said to Bian Kai: "Take care of your young master." Then he waved to the convoy: "Let's go!"

For a while, the shouts of the coachman, the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of wheels can be heard endlessly.

Lin Wanyue has been watching Su's Buxing motorcade disappear little by little in front of her eyes. At this time, her mood is very complicated, powerless and frustrated, regretful and guilty, and finally mixed with a little bit of luck. Ni Da has made some progress!

Bian Kai, who was beside Lin Wanyue, watched the convoy slowly leave, his eyes widened suddenly, and a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

He took a deep breath, carefully looked at Lin Wanyue's slightly hunched back, and tightly closed his mouth.
