Thank you sir, he is still outputting!

With Jingcheng taking the lead, even with the fastest speed, it took three full days to dispatch one hundred thousand troops.

The number of people has been assembled, but the biggest problem right now is that there are 10 people in a mighty force. With so many people starting from the capital at the same time, it will take five days at the shortest to reach Yanding.

And the time Xie Jiajun can last is obviously shorter than the five days.

Yang Xun mentioned this issue in the early court.

Regarding the question from Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the prime minister nodded and smiled calmly: "This matter is easy to solve."

He turned to look at the officials, and said slowly: "In my opinion, it is better to send a fast horse to Yanding first. As long as you hold the dispatch order, the cities of Yuanxu and Chifu that are close to Yanding can also send troops first. The amount of rations going to Yanding may not be comparable to that of Beiyan, but it is no problem to support the Xie family's army until the arrival of [-] troops."

Seeing the officials looking at each other and being speechless, Xu Yixin asked softly: "What do you guys think of this method?"

The matter of soldiers and rations is imminent, the situation is urgent, and there is really no better way right now.

The ministers stood in place holding the wat board, facing the prime minister's friendly inquiry, all of them shut their mouths tightly, silently expressing their approval with silence.

Since everyone does not object, then fine, let's do it this way.

The lucky man who was tasked with rushing to the frontier and aiding Xie's army was recommended on the spot—unexpectedly and expectedly, it was Li Ying, the servant of the Ministry of War who was in his twenties this year.

Xie Zhao raised his eyes to look at Li Ying, who was standing out of the queue at the moment, who was in the hall, and his eyes unconsciously contained some scrutiny.

As the recommended officials said, Li Ying is indeed the right candidate.

First of all, he was born in the Ministry of War, and his position is not low. It is barely justifiable for him to go to Yanding with a dispatch order.

Secondly, Li Ying is now at the right age. At the age of 28, he is calmer and more experienced than the fledgling young people.

When the Ministry of War recommended Li Ying for the first time, many people in the court still hesitated, but after the Ministry of War listed out the suitable places for Li Ying to be elected, the doubts on the faces of the officials also disappeared. has become a recognition.

Li Ying seems really suitable?

All the ministers agreed, and of course Xu Yixin would not object.

He called Li Ying, saw Li Ying bowed his head respectfully, and said gently: "This trip is of great importance, even if I don't say much, Master Li must know what heavy responsibility he shoulders."

Seeing that Li Yingsu responded with a sullen face, and his posture became more respectful, Xu Yixin finally said: "After the matter is completed, not only me and the adults standing in the hall at this moment, but also the tens of thousands of people in Dayu will all treat you. Master Li is very grateful."

At the end, the prime minister's expression became more serious.

Li Ying bowed deeply: "Li Ying will fulfill her mission."

I don't know if it was because Xie Zhao was too sensitive, now Xie Zhao stood behind and watched clearly, and suddenly noticed that Li Ying unconsciously raised his eyes to Xu Yixin after hearing Xu Yixin's words.

It was such a seemingly ordinary look, but Xie Zhao frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This Li Ying...

Secret doubts are like fine needles, which make people feel uneasy.

After the imperial court, Xie Zhao took the initiative to stop Pei Shaonan outside the palace gate.Seeing that the two got into the carriage, Bingwen obediently retreated outside the carriage and sat with the driver, leaving room for the two of them.

The situation was urgent, Li Ying was going to leave soon, Xie Zhao didn't let it go, and whispered to Pei Shaonan directly: "Do you have any available manpower?" Seeing Pei Shaonan nodding, he frowned slightly, and said his Plan: "I hope you can send someone to watch Li Ying all the way."

Pei Shaonan thought deeply and moved slightly, surprised: "Are you suspicious that that person will play tricks on this matter?"

Xie Zhaodao: "I'd rather be the one who thinks too badly about human nature."

Laughing at himself, he took a deep breath, stared at the side of the car in a daze, and said after a while: "Maybe I think too much, but now I can't take even a little risk—this time, I can't lose." , Liao Qingfeng can't lose, and Xie Jiajun can't lose."

Pei Shaonan sat at the side, and could only see his side face.

However, in the past few days, Xie Zhao's cheeks have become much thinner, and the jaw line has gradually become clear.He has a straight nose, long eyelashes and dense eyelashes. After losing weight, he looks even more handsome and handsome, like a green bamboo like a snow-capped mountain, and even his gaze has faded a lot.

The smiling child who followed her softly more than ten years ago has grown so big.

At this moment, Pei Shaonan had the illusion that he seemed to be in another world.

When he noticed Xie Zhao's questioning gaze, he came back to his senses: "Understood, I will take care of this matter."

With a soft sigh, Pei Shaonan suddenly stretched out his hand and gently pinched Xie Zhao's face, the smooth and delicate touch made him unable to hold back the corners of his lips, teasing him: "Xie Zhao, has anyone told you , do you really become less cute as you get older?"

This sudden action made Xie Zhao startled. Before he had time to say anything, Pei Shaonan let out another long sigh and said wistfully, "How can people grow up so quickly?"

Xie Zhao propped his chin with one hand, tilted his head to look at him, and finally showed some smile on his face.

He was not annoyed when he heard Pei Shaonan say that the older he got, the less cute he became. Instead, he took the time to look up at Pei Shaonan: "Now go to the street and ask, which one of the people in the capital doesn't praise me for being handsome? Cute is to describe a child Yes, I am no longer a child."

Why not?With his current appearance, he was clearly still a child.

Pei Shaonan laughed, glanced at him and got up, lazily said: "Forget it, I can't chase the past, I can only work hard and draw a few more pictures, which can be regarded as a record of the past."

As soon as he heard about painting, Xie Zhao immediately regained his energy, his eyes widened immediately, and he patted Pei Shaonan's arm hard without mercy.

He was dissatisfied: "Can you change this bad habit of always using me as a picture?"

Pei Shaonan held his forehead, looking extremely distressed.

"Old diseases, old diseases, can't be changed."

What kind of old disease is this?

Xie Zhao wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time. After being depressed for a long time, he finally laughed out loud. There was nothing he could do about Pei Shaonan.

That's right, when Pei Shaonan was determined to tease him, he always had no choice.It has been so for so many years.

All in all, thanks to Pei Shaonan's joke, Xie Zhao's mood was rarely relaxed.

It's a pity that this feeling only lasted for less than a day.

In the early morning of the second day, before the sky even illuminated the capital, the travel-stained Pei Shaonan rushed to Xie Zhao's residence and picked Xie Zhao up from the bed.

The usually gentle and refined family member rarely had a gloomy face, and said vaguely: "I lost my follow."

Xie Zhaochu's ignorance was easily dispelled by these three words.

He blinked, and looked at Pei Shaonan without pause: "What did you lose?"

"Xie Zhao, I lost my followers and Li Ying disappeared."

Pei Shaonan stared at Xie Zhao closely, and slowed down his speech: "Although he disappeared, he seems to have disappeared and continued to go north. If you choose the fastest route, going to Yanding from the capital will definitely pass through Fuyuan and Xinyu. Two places, but the people at these two post stations claim that they have never seen Li Ying come."

In this case, there are only two reasons that can be explained. One is that Li Ying gave up the fastest route to Yanding and took a detour, and the other is that Li Ying did not go to Yanding at all, but went to other places.

Li Ying has a heavy responsibility, so it is naturally impossible not to go to Yanding, the only possibility is that Li Ying took a detour.

So here comes the question again, why does Li Ying spend more time on the road?

The answer is obvious.

Xie Zhao was completely awake.

Anger rose from his heart, and he stared down at the lines on the quilt for a while, but Xie Zhao still couldn't calm down.He hammered the quilt hard, and gritted his teeth: "What a Xu Yixin! What a bold Xu Yixin!"

Li Ying's move was obviously delaying time!

Xie Zhao finally figured out what Xu Yixin was going to do at this moment.

In this battle with Beiyan, Xu Yixin didn't want to lose, but that didn't mean he wanted Liao Qingfeng and Xie Jiajun to win.Li Ying deliberately slowed down the trip on the road. Yuanxu, Chifu and other places did not receive dispatch orders, so naturally they could not send food and grass to Yanding.

In this way, Liao Qingfeng and Xie Jiajun were trapped in Yanding, lacked food and grass, and had to face the menacing Beiyan cavalry, how could they survive?

Xu Yixin had exactly this idea.

When the Xie family army led by Liao Qingfeng fell, he would naturally allow the belated Li Ying to take the [-] troops to take over the original positions of Liao Qingfeng and Xie Jiajun, and he could even completely reproduce Xie Yan's success back then and create a complete team. The army under his control!

——What a vicious scheme!

Thinking of what Liao Qingfeng and Xie Jiajun were going to face, Xie Zhao threw off the quilt with hatred, picked up the official uniform that Bingwen had hung aside last night, and put it on: "Xu Yixin still couldn't help but make a move." gone."

He sneered and said, "If he wants to stab a knife in the back, it depends on whether others agree or not!"

Pei Shaonan asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Zhao has already put on his official uniform, and is now putting on his official hat.

After quickly dressing up, he stood by the door and turned his head when he heard Pei Shaonan's words, revealing a clean and calm face.

"Xu Yixin tried in vain to achieve his prestige by stepping on the corpses of Liao Qingfeng and Xie Jiajun. Not only you and me, but many others who disagree."

At this moment, Xie Zhao's expression was obviously calm, but Pei Shaonan clearly saw many other things that were deeper and brighter from his deep eyes.

The emotions that have been suppressed for a long time finally broke out on this day, unstoppable.

"I will not let Liao Qingfeng lose, nor will I let Xie Jiajun lose, this is what I promised."

Xie Zhao pushed open the door and walked out firmly.

Bingwen, who was in a drowsy sleep, vaguely heard the sound, got up and went outside the house to have a look, just in time to see Xie Zhao who was neatly dressed and striding out.

He hurriedly asked: "It's not yet dawn, where are you going, my lord?"

Xie Zhao strode out of the courtyard, and without looking back, he uttered a word, loudly.

"—I want to enter the palace!"

The author has something to say: Mr. Pei likes to tease Mr. Xie~ This is not an old disease, it is a great joy in life.
