Southern Barracks.

General Zhang You hesitated in front of the door, took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and said respectfully to the person who was leaning on the table casually flipping through the books: "My lord, everyone has already assembled in the school grounds, just waiting for you to pass by." Inspection. About the inspections these days..."

"It's not urgent." Chu Mingyun interrupted him, still looking down at the book, "I have something to ask you."

"Yes."

"How much do you know about Huainan Shouchun?" Chu Mingyun asked.

Zhang You lowered his eyes and said, "This subordinate doesn't know."

"Oh?" Chu Mingyun raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You are so close, why don't you know?"

"The duty of the subordinates and the Southern Border Army is to guard the territory of our Great Xia, and the rebel party in Huainan is a civil strife caused by King Xiling's feudal kingdom. Moreover, during internal strife, foreign enemies may take the opportunity to invade. The subordinates only focus on border defense, and have not inquired about the people there. thing."

"When the reinforcements were sent to the central government, the Ministry of War also issued an order for the Southern Border Army to rush to support them. Didn't you see the order?" Chu Mingyun said.

"I saw it. It's just that my subordinates have just set off and set off when news of the disappearance of the rebel party and reinforcements comes. I don't know what to do, and finally withdraw them." Zhang You replied.

"So that's how it is." Chu Mingyun rested his chin idlely with one hand, and nodded slowly, "Zhang You, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you really have made a lot of progress."

"The adults have won the prize."

"Where is the prize?" Chu Mingyun chuckled, and pulled out a letter from the pages of the book, "The lies are flawless, and you are much more courageous."

Zhang You's calm expression collapsed the moment he saw the letter. He hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously, "My lord, please listen to me..."

"Shut up." Chu Mingyun said.

Zhang You stopped speaking immediately, and buried his head deeply, not daring to look at him.

"I randomly picked out a book for you to read, and just happened to find this letter. Do you think it's a coincidence?" Chu Mingyun slowly looked at the thin letter, "What's written in it?"

He opened his mouth, and after a while, he could only say in a low voice, "...Since your lord already knows, this subordinate..."

"I don't know," Chu Mingyun said, "raise your head, tell me."

Stiff, Zhang You struggled secretly for a moment, then slowly raised his face, met Chu Mingyun's gaze, and then lowered his eyes anxiously, "In the letter... it was Master Han, the governor of Jiujiang County, who sent a thousand taels of gold, but you I also saw that he only said that he was consoling and rewarding, and didn't ask for anything. My lord, although my subordinates did accept it, but... But I didn't use my power to do anything, and I didn't do anything for him. Pass!"

"You don't pay attention to Huainan, isn't it exactly what he wants, what else do you need to do?" Chu Mingyun raised his hand, gently tapped his forehead with his finger, and said slowly, "You each take what you want, and the two of you It's good for each other, but what should I do about my affairs?" Su Bai's fingers slowly slid down following the words, and finally stopped at the throat, the fingertips were as cold as a blade, Chu Mingyun frowned slightly, and looked at him, "Huh? "

Zhang You's face was already pale, and he didn't dare to move. He said in a trembling voice: "...My lord, in fact, my subordinates still know a little about Shouchun."

Chu Mingyun slightly raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you just say you didn't know?"

"...I was too flustered just now, so I didn't think about it for a while." Zhang You bit the bullet and said, "This is because my subordinates are confused, but I haven't been completely obsessed with money. My lord is wise, the governor of Han wants me to ignore everything, But the subordinates felt strange, so they secretly sent scouts to the vicinity of Shouchun, wanting to see what was going on, but the scouts kept guard for several days without seeing anything happening. Something happened tonight."

Chu Mingyun withdrew his hand, "Continue."

Zhang You breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "Speaking of which, that night was very weird. Many soldiers appeared after the city gate was closed in the middle of the night, and surrounded the entrance and exit of the city airtightly. Then," his expression changed slightly , "There were screams in the city, it was very weak at first, and then the screams became more and more chaotic, as if there was hell inside the city walls, and then another group of soldiers appeared and fought with the guards at the city gate , There was a scuffle, the scouts rushed back without looking any further, and when they reported it to me, they still had lingering fears, saying it was extremely tragic."

Chu Mingyun frowned, thinking silently.

Zhang You looked at his expression carefully, "I have told you everything I know, and I dare not hide it, my lord, this subordinate was confused for a while and made a big mistake, but... I haven't moved a penny of the gold, I would like to dedicate it all to my lord, to prove to you that I am absolutely loyal to you, my lord! Please also raise your hand high and give your subordinates another chance..."

"Give you another chance?" Chu Mingyun raised his eyes, looked at him and smiled, "Okay, but I need one more thing."

"My lord, please do as you please!" Zhang You showed joy.

"I want the letter Han Zhongwen wrote to you."

"...the letter?" Zhang You was stunned, "Isn't that letter in your hands, my lord?"

Chu Mingyun smiled softly, unhurriedly opened the envelope in his hand, then pulled out a blank sheet of paper, and put it in front of Zhang You, "Bring it here."

Zhang You froze fiercely, staring at the white paper, his expression changed a few times, and finally suppressed all his emotions, got up and walked to the hidden place of the bookshelf, and really pulled out a letter from the interlayer of a book.The hand holding the letter trembled slightly due to excessive force, he glanced at the real letter unwillingly, paused, raised his head with a smile on his face, and offered it to Chu Mingyun with both hands, "Subordinate... Thank you, my lord."

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and someone outside said: "My lord, it's getting late, it's time to go to the school grounds for inspection."

Chu Mingyun put away the letter and got up, the door opened, the lieutenant general Xu Shen outside the door bowed his head respectfully, and lowered his voice, "My lord."

"Well," Chu Ming agreed, "Let's go."

The school grounds are open, and looking down, tens of thousands of soldiers stand in order, the battle is cold, and the sound of drums is straight to Xiaohan.Chu Mingyun stood on the platform, and when the wind blew up, he stared at the flying banners in the distance, with the red "Xia" character fluttering on it, for a long time, Chu Mingyun sneered.

Han Zhongwen handed over the letter, returned to his original seat and sat down. He looked at Li Chenghua's gloomy expression, and couldn't help but add: "I haven't seen your son for a few days. He should have left a long time ago. When I sent someone to see There is only this letter on the table, presumably it is for you, my lord."

Li Chenghua didn't speak, but read the contents of the letter over and over again, pinning the words in his eyes, almost depressingly quiet, then suddenly there was a loud noise, he waved all the cups and inkstones on the table to the ground, He punched the table and was furious, "Nonsense!"

The maids knelt down to tidy up in panic, Han Zhongwen couldn't help saying, "My lord, my son..."

"This rebellious son is really rebellious! He left without saying goodbye, and dared to say that he didn't need to look for him! Just because of a woman, he threw away his career and his biological father!" Li Chenghua's eyes were red, and his hands clenched into fists trembled uncontrollably , "Go and collect her corpse, what kind of corpse? She has been dead for more than a year, what kind of corpse does he want! You bastard!"

The words have come to this point, Han Zhongwen can understand clearly, how could Li Chenghua himself not understand.Li Che never cared about this, and his father's hard work for the success of his father finally came to an end. After such a farewell, he might never return.

"Nizi, you have worked hard for your father for so many years, don't you really have no idea!" He clutched the letter paper tightly, wanting to tear it into pieces, but at that moment, he stopped his hand again, for a long time, Slowly smoothed out the letter little by little and placed it on the table.Li Chenghua leaned back in the chair wearily, closed his eyes, and sighed in a low voice, "Idiot..."

This angle is just right to see the white hair growing on his temples and forehead. Han Zhongwen looked at it, and suddenly felt that the King of Xiling had aged a little in an instant. It shouldn’t be too far away. My lord, why don’t you order a blockade..."

"No need." Li Chenghua raised his hand to interrupt him, "What can I do if I find it, my heart is not here anymore, even if I escort him back, I still have to run again."

"What does the prince mean to go with the son?" Han Zhongwen speculated.

After a while, Li Chenghua opened his eyes, and his eyes returned to calmness. Instead of answering, he asked instead, "How are Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu on your side?"

Han Zhongwen was also savvy, and responded, "Chu Mingyun went to inspect the soldiers in the southern military camp, but don't worry, my lord, I have already taken care of it there, and there will be no mistakes."

Li Chenghua nodded, "What about Su Shiyu?"

"Su Shiyu has been secretly inquiring about Luo Xin's news these days," Han Zhongwen smiled, "It should be said that he is the doctor Yu Shi, and his methods are powerful, but it is a pity that Shouchun City is my place after all, and his efforts are destined to be in vain. "

"You still have to keep an eye on it, lest something goes wrong."

"Of course." After a pause, Han Zhongwen hesitated, and said, "There is one more thing, I think it is necessary to tell the prince."

"What's the matter?" Li Chenghua asked.

Han Zhongwen's expression was complicated, "It's still Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu, what's unexpected is the relationship between the two of them," he struggled to describe, "...it's the kind of love that breaks the sleeve."

"... Broken sleeve?" Li Chenghua was obviously taken aback, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Yes, I also find it unbelievable. After all, how could two men..." Han Zhongwen's face was ugly, and it was difficult to say what he said afterwards.

"It really sounds like a joke. General Su Jue's only son, Su Shiyu, the censor, actually likes a man, and he is also a courtier." Li Chenghua laughed out loud, shaking his head and sighing, "If Su Jue is still alive, I don't think so. Is it possible to kill Su Shiyu directly in the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors." He looked up at Han Zhongwen, "Are you sure about this news?"

"This was admitted by them themselves, and the person sent to monitor also reported that the two of them behaved intimately, which doesn't seem to be fake." Han Zhongwen said.

Li Chenghua suddenly fell silent, thinking about something in secret, the old look disappeared, only saw the ambitious man sitting upright in meditation, the sharp light in his eyes flashed away.
