In the early morning, when the sun was rising, the official office was rarely cool.

Jiang Shu simply ate breakfast, then ordered Shutong to grind ink, spread out the letter paper, and began to write letters to Xunyang.

Although he believed that with Xun Ling's character, he would not do such a thing as stealing people's military exploits, just in case, he still told the contribution made by Bu Jingyun and his troops in the Battle of Bailanxing again.

As for how Bu Jingyun used 200 people to stop the Huns' [-] army, Jiang Shu used the tactic of ambush by falling rocks that he had told Xun Ling at the beginning, but Jiang Shu deliberately did not mention the explosive package that really worked.

When taking out the explosives, Zhang Zifang specifically told him and Bu Jingyun to keep the existence of this weapon a secret.

For one thing, the current structure of the explosive package is still unstable, and if it is used improperly, it may accidentally injure one's own side.

Secondly, if this object is offered to the imperial court, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not become a sharp weapon for the party in the court to eliminate dissidents. Not to mention the intensification of internal conflicts in Wei, those who develop and manufacture gunpowder weapons may also become political strugglers. victim.

All in all, Zhang Zifang expressed only one point of view to him—everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.

Before you have enough strength, you must first hide your treasures.

Of course Jiang Shu understood his intentions, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so he didn't tell even his family members.

After briefly writing a report letter, Jiang Shu put it in an envelope and sealed it, and ordered someone to send it to Xunyang.

Just as he was about to start work, a small official announced that he came in and brought a stack of documents.

Jiang Shu recognized him as an official of Jin Cao, and felt a little puzzled in his heart. He remembered that Xie Min handled most of Jin Cao's official duties.

He flipped through the documents, and found that what was written in it was indeed related to salt and iron, so he asked, "How did these get sent to me?"

The little official hurriedly replied: "I went to the side hall first, the guard over there, Yanjun Cheng, is ill today, so I sent the documents to you first."

Are you sick?

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xie Yin woke up and remembered what he did when he was drunk, and he didn't want to face it?

Feeling a little funny in his heart, Jiang Shu nodded to the little official calmly: "I see, you can go back."

"promise."

After the little official went out, Jiang Shu picked up the document and flipped through it again, but at this moment he became a little absent-minded.

Although he was skeptical about Xie Yin's "unhealthy health", last night, he was indeed very drunk, and he even imagined the non-existent wife.

After waking up with a hangover, headaches and discomfort are unavoidable, besides, Xie Min's health is not very good...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After struggling for a while, he got up and went to the back house.

Stepping into the courtyard, as soon as Jiang Shu saw the familiar scenery and stone paths, the scene of being led into the house by Xie Min's wrist last night appeared in front of Jiang Shu's eyes.

Unknowingly, his footsteps stopped.

At this time, Yuemo was informed by the servants in the courtyard, Xu Hai trotted up to him, saluted and asked, "Fu Jun, are you here to find Lang Jun?"

Jiang Shu looked in the direction of the porch, and through the gaps in the branches and leaves, he could see that the doors of the house were all closed.

"I heard that Brother Xie is not feeling well, is he better now?" He asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Lang is just a little dizzy and weak, and he will be fine after half a day's rest."

Jiang Shu nodded: "I don't worry if it's okay, tell him for me, let him have a good rest today, don't have to worry about official affairs, I will help him deal with it."

Xu Hai nodded in response to "No", originally thought that he would want to go in to see his lord, and was thinking about whether to help him refuse, but who knew that the other party turned around and left after saying this, which made him a little inexplicably anxious .

I wondered whether Jiang Sanlang liked his lord, why he didn't know how to grasp such a good opportunity, he was not feeling well, even if he didn't bring some nourishing soup over at this time, he should greet him face to face...

Watching the young man leave the courtyard, Xu Hai shook his head and said "hey" before returning to the house.

Pushing open the door, one can see that Xie Min, who was still lying on the bed just now, has put on his coat and is sitting in front of the desk.

"Lang Jun, are you feeling better?"

Hearing the sound, Xie Min raised his head, glanced behind him, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Going away?"

"Yes, Fu Jun asked me to tell you that today you can rest in the courtyard without worrying about business."

Xie Yin didn't make a sound, looked down at the poems on the case, the beautiful poems came into view, but all he thought about was last night's scene.

He can't remember the details of some of the conversations, but most of the events are still imprinted in his mind.

Knowing someone as madam for no reason, but people denying it, so they blocked the door to force people to admit it, and even forced people to call themselves such intimate names...

This is really...

Too frivolous!

He closed his eyes, trying to forget all the memories in his mind.

However, no matter how he hypnotized himself, the shy face of the young man still appeared before his eyes from time to time.

After closing the poem, Xie Min said to Xu Hai, "Go to the government office and fetch the official document for me."

"Ah?" Xu Hai was puzzled, "Didn't the Fu Jun say that you don't have to worry about the government..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yin's cool and indifferent gaze swept over him, and he quickly responded nonchalantly.

Duanmen County, Hongcheng.

In the hall, there was a suffocating silence.

Hu Yanyou sat silently in front of the hall, since he saw the battle report, he had been so silent for a long time.

Hu Yanyou let out a long sigh as he glanced at the two sons who were bowing their heads in front of them.

I thought it was a battle with a certain chance of winning, but as a result, one of them was ambushed by the enemy before reaching the battlefield and suffered heavy losses.

One launched an attack before the reinforcements arrived, but fell into the enemy's treacherous scheme, and was defeated like water. Of the 500 soldiers, less than [-] escaped from the battlefield!

Hearing such a tragic result, Hu Yanyou almost couldn't catch his breath, and it took a long while before he calmed down.

It's just that they've been victorious for so long.

Since last year when troops were sent to attack Xunzhou, tens of thousands of troops have taken over Laitu, Xizhu, Duanmen, and Xingjun all the way without a single defeat. What an impressive record this is!

Originally in Hu Yanyou's plan, the capture of the former royal city was a thing in his pocket, but before he entered Yanqiao, the Battle of Bailanxing gave him a blow in the head.

In retrospect, it seems that they have been losing since they met Yan Qiaobing.

First, none of the [-] cavalry sent to Zhaonan County returned, and then Miryang was captured, and Bai Lanxing was defeated... I don't know, after calculation, the total number of warriors who died in several battles was as many as four. Wan, how could this not make him feel sad.

Huyan Manman glanced at Huyanyou, who had a heavy complexion, knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Father, my son and the eldest brother were ambushed by the enemy this time, and failed to support the third brother, resulting in the defeat of the army and the death of [-] warriors on the battlefield. Please father punish."

Hu Yanchao gritted his teeth when he heard the words, and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake: "My son did not command properly, and I am ashamed of treating thousands of soldiers, please punish my father."

Hu Yanyou got up slowly after hearing the words, walked up to Huyan Manman, leaned over to look at him and said, "I ask you, have you ever thought about why the army was ambushed by the enemy?"

Hu Yan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Perhaps, the news of the march was revealed."

"Why did it come to light?"

Huyan looked up in astonishment: "Father means..."

Hu Yanyou narrowed his eyes, and patted him on the shoulder: "Go back and think about it, who did you tell this matter to?"

"Yes." Huyan frowned, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then he shook his head again, although Ying'er is from Wei, her parents were both murdered by Wei officials, and she once said to herself that the person she hated the most in her life was Wei.

What's more, Ying'er blocked the falling rocks for him and saved his life, it can't be a meticulous work.

But thinking about it like this, after all, there was a grudge in his heart, and when he returned to the room, seeing the dignified and graceful figure of his concubine, Huyan Manman didn't go over immediately, but sat aside with a heavy heart.

Yin Yunying sensed that his mood was not right, so she came over with the freshly stewed soup and asked, "Is Your Highness worried?"

"I just came from my father, and I was implicated by my third brother, and I was questioned." Speaking of this, Huyan Manman looked at Yin Yunying intentionally and said: "Father suspects that we were ambushed, and there is a spy leaking the news."

Yin Yunying widened her eyes in surprise, paused for a moment, and said: "It's not impossible. Now that I think about it, no matter what method the Wei people used to make the mountain collapse, they had to go to the road to ambush two days in advance. They arrived so fast. Someone must have leaked the news on purpose."

Huyan Manman said again: "The concubine thinks, who is the person who leaked the news?"

"Why is your Highness asking such a question?" Yin Yunying seemed to become sensitive suddenly, "Could it be that Your Highness suspects that the concubine is a spy?"

As she said that, she lowered her eyebrows, and looked at him with a bit of grievance in her pure eyes.

Huyan Manman looked at her four eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "How can my concubine be a secret agent? Isn't Ying'er always staying by my side? How can I have time to send a message to the enemy?"

"It's good for your Highness to know, but don't misunderstand my concubine just because I'm from Wei, and cause my concubine to be wronged for nothing." Yin Yunying said coquettishly and with some complaints, and then said: "But your highness asked about this matter. , I have a doubt in my heart."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"I heard that the captain was defeated this time because he didn't choose the right time to send troops. My concubine was puzzled. Why didn't the captain wait for His Royal Highness and the main family to arrive, and sent troops in advance?"

"What else could be the reason? Naturally, he couldn't hold his breath, and he was afraid that I would take his credit!"

After Huyan Manman finished speaking as a matter of course, when he finished speaking, he suddenly thought deeply.

Indeed, the instruction given by his father at the beginning was to let their [-] troops rendezvous before launching an attack, so that they could take Bailanxing with full confidence.

Although they encountered an ambush on the road and failed to arrive smoothly, Huyanchao has been waiting for so long, is it still a few days away, why take the risk of sending troops in advance?

Could it be that he knew they couldn't arrive?

Yin Yunying watched him suddenly fall into contemplation, and knew that her crisis was probably resolved, and then opened the bowl cover and said softly: "Your Highness, it's not too late to think about these troubles later, you must be hungry after working for so long, It's better to have a sip of soup first, this is the yokan stewed by my concubine just to nourish the body."

Huyan Manman smelled the aroma of the food, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I still care about my concubine."
