Through the palace of the king of subjugation

When Chen Bang led the people into the tent, Bai Ou was still fiddling with the ginkgo leaf in his hand, he was fascinated by it, and it was Chen An who reminded him before he raised his head.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Chen An standing in front of him with a thin middle-aged man. He looked at the middle-aged man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and said guiltily, "Sorry."

"The general speaks too seriously, and the villain can't bear it." The man quickly saluted, "It's all those bastards who deliberately set up a trap, and only wanted to make a fool of themselves. The guards are just following the rules."

"You are... Yueqin's elder brother?" Bai Ou raised his hand to avoid the middle-aged man's etiquette, and asked doubtfully, "What's your name?"

"Little man Yang Xing, and my younger sister is Yang Qin." Yang Xing got up and said, "We are indeed brothers and sisters, but Qin'er is my father's old son, and the age difference is slightly bigger. If my son is still there, it is true. It's also not much younger than Qin'er."

No wonder Bai Ou was confused, the person who came here looked to be 40 to [-] years old, it would be more reasonable to say that it was the girl's father just now; after listening to the explanation, think about the girl who said before that her parents died early——

It is probably because the eldest brother is the father that there is such a close relationship.

"Your son?" Unintentionally mentioned the other party's sadness, Bai Ou said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing." The man smiled honestly, "The family is poor, and the villain has been running around all year round. One day when he came home from business, his wife and children disappeared. If you run away, maybe you can have a good life with someone else."

"It's just that shortly after that, my parents passed away, and when I went out to do business, Qin'er was left alone to take care of her. I was afraid of losing my sister again, so I had to take her with me all the time, and taught her to suffer a lot with me at a young age. "

Bai Ou nodded clearly, "I heard from Miss Yang, are you from Beiyin?"

"It's...not counting..." Yang Xing looked a little embarrassed, "Qin'er is young, and she hasn't experienced many things before."

"As far back as I can remember, my parents have been traveling in and out of the city to do some small business. We live in a village not far from the city, and we can't tell where we are from."

"In the eyes of my parents' generation, they are all Daning people, and they don't have the concept of Shangning and Beiyin. No matter whether they live in Shangning or Beiyin, they will not feel that they are foreigners."

According to historical records, the Shangning Dynasty lasted only 41 years until the country fell. Before that, there was indeed no difference between Shangning and Beiyin. A powerful feudal empire.

Yang Xing looked to be 40 to [-] years old, his parents must have experienced the Daning Dynasty from unification to division.

However, in those years when Daning was in decline and split, the wars mainly broke out in the north, the capital of Daning, which is now the capital of Beiyin - Haojing; and the places slightly southerly were hardly invaded by Dao wars. There is nothing too profound about splitting.

In their cognition, they are not foreigners or foreign countries. They are not familiar with Shangning or Beiyin, and they are only deeply rooted in the Daning Dynasty that has existed for nearly 300 years.

Besides, no one can argue for an orthodoxy. The Li family represented by Li Yu is the descendant of the Daning royal family, but Haojing, the capital of the Daning Dynasty, is now the capital of Beiyin.

These things are not difficult for Bai Gu to understand, he is too familiar with this period of history.

He was silent for a long time and asked: "In the barracks, are there many people like you?"

"Many." Yang Xing affirmed without hesitation: "Many people living on this side of the border have their parents staying in Daicheng, but their younger sisters have married to Beiyin; The one who entered was the daughter-in-law waiting for the city."

"Those who can be caught in here either committed crimes and ran away, or have no status like my sister and I, they are all poor people at the bottom, where is it our turn to care about the emperor's surname, it's good to be able to fill our stomachs. "

Bei Yin had been serving as a minister to Shang Ning for decades, the two countries have always been on good terms and benefited from mutual business, and they are both citizens of Daning at root, not a foreign race; what Yang Xing said, Bai Ou was not surprised .

But at this moment, he fell into another deep thought.

It wasn't until the clapper rang outside the window that he came back to his senses——

It was getting dark.

"Chen Bang, take someone down to rest." After he ordered, he said to Yang Xing, who was saluting: "If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to reunite with your sister, you can tell the deputy general Chen beside you, and he will arrange .”

"General." After Chen Bang led his men back, Chen An said, "We are now..."

"Go and count the proportion of the personnel composition, I guess—" Bai Gu said in a deep voice, "How many young master soldiers can there be? After all, there are more stragglers like Yang Xing in this barracks."

"The officer has made a brief estimate." Chen An said and handed over the booklet at hand, which contained the things he recorded during the interrogation with Chen Bang in the afternoon.

When more and more people gathered around in the afternoon, he kept an eye out and roughly questioned the number of children from the noble families in the barracks.

The three cities in the northwest say that there are 1 garrisons, but [-] are stationed in Jingcheng and [-] are stationed in Yongcheng. At the moment where Baiou is stationed, there are actually only about [-] troops stationed; about [-] of them are less than official positions. , these people may not all be descendants of aristocratic families, but more or less they will have some relationship.

"They have less than 1 people, and it is not easy to restrain refugees who are several times their own. These people are all captured, and there are probably some grassroots fugitives who are exiled into the army."

Chen An continued to explain.

"So according to my guess, the garrison barracks should adopt a high-pressure policy. Under normal circumstances, those low-level soldiers are demarcated and their freedom is restricted."

That's why Bai Ou and Chen Bang and his party have been in the camp for so long without seeing a few people; so even if they tore down the tent and killed the captain, arrested people all over the world for interrogation, and caused such a big battle, it only attracted a small number of people Come one after another, watching from a distance; so——

Xiang Xingyan could keep all the news so tightly, even Li Yu and Chen Yu's repeated inquiries were fruitless.

White Gull frowned in thought.

The [-] elite imperial guards were stolen without anyone knowing it, and turned into a loose sand composed of [-] gaudy young soldiers and a group of vagrants...

Zhou Zheling is worthy of being a woman who has survived three dynasties.

Xiang Xingyan is Zhou Zheling's man, and Daicheng is Xiang Xingyan's territory, so he really does it impeccably.

But are they really not afraid of waiting for the city to fall?

In order not to give Li Yu a chance to command the soldiers, did Zhou Zheling cut flesh and feed tigers, cut off the wrists of strong men, or did they really just get used to it and didn't realize the horror of Beiyin people at all?

Zhou Zheling's purpose was no longer important to Bai Ou. Li Yu gave him everything he could, so he had to keep Li Yu's last hope.

The white gull closed his eyes and thought——

If he won this battle in the history books, he must not lose.

"Early tomorrow morning, teach Chen Bang to take someone to post a notice and announce it to the whole city—" When he opened his eyes again, the doubts in his eyes just now had been swept away. The whole city is under martial law, curfew, and entered a state of wartime alert, and everything in the city is handed over to the garrison.”

"General, we brought a total of 2000 people, most of whom are generals and know nothing about internal affairs." Chen An was puzzled, "Why do you want to make trouble for yourself?"

"The specific things can still be handled by the people who used to be in the city government office, but you have to go through them." Bai Ou explained: "What I want is money and food."

Waiting for the city to be a garrisoned army, the military pay and food are held in the hands of the local government, Bai Ou will not be at ease, since Xiang Xingyan left a mess and ran away, then he might as well take it all——

We must hold the power of money and food in our hands.

Li Yu asked Chen An to accompany him on the road in order to save him from worrying about the future, and he must also be clear about this matter.

"Besides, I have another purpose for doing this—" He raised his eyebrows lightly, and smiled, "The second item on the notice, write it down clearly for me, the garrison in the city will be led by a new general, and the situation will be completely new. "

"People in the waiting city, anyone who has suffered under the garrison before, whether it's a stolen embroidery needle, or the blood feud that killed the whole family, as long as they come to report, all of them will be recorded in the case, strictly investigated and dealt with, once verified , this general will personally deal with it and will never tolerate it."

"Seven days later, the public execution will be held at the gate of the camp. All the people in the city, whether they have been wronged or not, can come and watch as long as they are free."

"Seven days?" Chen An was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"General, this group of dudes are not good people at first glance. They can force Yueqin today. I don't know how many wicked things they have done before. How can they be investigated in seven days?"

"Beiyin people can't tell when they will arrive. The barracks are still in a mess, and they have no power to defend against the enemy. Do we really need to spend time doing this?"

"It is precisely because Beiyin people can't tell when they will come, so we have to hurry up. I can only give seven days to pinch this plate of loose sand together." Bai Ou stood up and said, "Teach Chen Bang about this matter." Go do it, pick up important cases to investigate, don't need to be too detailed, just let me take it if you have any clues."

When he was in the Chen Mansion earlier, Chen Yu once said that Bai Ou had also seen Chengbang's straightforward character, and he was a person who accepted death.

Back in the firewood room in Yongxiang, Chen Bang believed that Bai Ou belonged to Zhou Zheling, and even the emperor dared to contradict him. Can't speak.

"But even if Chen Bang can handle things well..." Chen An was puzzled, "What does this have to do with our training to defend against the enemy?"

"Let's do it." Bai Gu didn't explain any more, got up and was about to go out of the tent, "You will understand in seven days."

"General—" Chen An asked after Bai Gu: "It's not too late, where are you going?"

"Before it's dark, I'll go find something." Bai Guu stopped Chen An, slipped the ginkgo leaf out of his sleeve pocket, and quietly held it in his palm, "Hurry up and write the letter to report your safety." , just leave it on my desk with dinner."

As he spoke, he strode out of the handsome tent, "Do what I arranged quickly—"

Daicheng is farther north than Jiangning, and the ginkgo trees in Jiangning are all yellow, and most of the leaves in Daicheng have fallen.

On the way here earlier, Bai Gu vaguely remembered seeing a few privet leaves that had not yet fallen leaves by the raw ditch beside the road; fortunately, it was not far from the camp, he had long arms and long legs, and ran all the way along the memory, After a while, I picked one and came back.

When he returned to the commander's tent, Chen An had already left a letter declaring his safety and a simple dinner as ordered;

The white gull didn't even look at the dinner, but anxiously took out the letter that was pressed under the inkstone, glanced at the contents, carefully put the ginkgo leaf that he kept close to his body into the envelope, and sealed it with wax. .

"Find someone on your own to send the letter back to Jiangning." He whispered to the guards at the side of the tent, "We must send someone to deliver it to His Majesty."

"Yes."

The guards who were guarding were Chen An's confidantes, and they acted swiftly and resolutely, so they didn't ask too many questions, so they trotted all the way to do it.

Bai Gu watched the guard walk away, and then remembered that he was still holding the newly picked privet stalk in his arms.

"Is there a flower pot?" He asked another guard who stayed behind, and felt that the request was a bit too much as soon as the words came out, "Any pot, find me one and put some soil in it."

So far, in the garrison camp in the city, there will be a song that no one has heard before every night.

The author has something to say: Bai Gu: I am also an old gardener.

Someone should be able to guess the ginkgo leaf thing by now, right?As for what is engraved on the leaf, I will wait for Xiaoyuer to reveal~

But a new problem came up again, what was the white gull trying to do?

【Ayu is already bald anyway, why don't we go together~】
