"Retreat?" Jiang Ning put down the food in his hand and listened to the news that Song Wan brought back.

"This Princess Jinzhi is really amazing. She retreated as soon as she said she wanted..." Jiang Ning thought in her heart, and couldn't help but smack her tongue.

Song Wan sighed, "But the circumference is surrounded, all in yellow clothes, they don't look ordinary soldiers. I asked with my connections. They were the soldiers of those named Lu Qinghou. There are a thousand soldiers and horses. Our blacksmith shop is very lively."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, but could only smile bitterly. Song Wan said this, which proved that this place had been exposed, but as the stronghold of Jing'an Division in Jinling City, it was exposed.

Jiang Ning pointed outside the wall, Qiangzi stood up and turned it out.

The only people in the hall were Zhou Yong and his wife, Jiang Ning, Lu Yutong and Song Wan.

Lu Yutong originally had a meal in the house. Because of her special identity, everyone dared not neglect it. But Lu Yutong insisted on joining Jiangning and eating wherever Jiangning was. She would eat wherever Jiangning was. In the past few days, except for helping Zhang do some work, saying it was a work, but Zhang did not dare to let her do it? She couldn't resist, so she had to let Lu Yutong watch and occasionally hand over something.

The rest of the time is to study Jiangning’s so-called Chinese pinyin and vernacular. Jiangning said what he said now, and said to Zi Zi at all. Although he understood the general meaning, he did not write daily words in the book. Except for those who have studied in private schools, who can recognize them? Who can recognize them in ordinary people? Take the few people in this yard to say that except for Zhou Yong and Song Wan, the others are illiterate.

Write down the principles in a simple way, translate them according to Jiangning's words, and use the simplest words to explain the most basic principles. These words are marked with the so-called Chinese pinyin. As long as you learn the pinyin, you will know how to pronounce them, and you will be able to understand the principles from shallow to deep.

Instead of like now, the old man in a private school can only teach the pronunciation and meaning of the words, the pinyin is simple and easy to understand, and the scope of the words is wider.

Lu Yutong was talented and learned a few days later. Once a few people were idle, she would pull them to learn Chinese pinyin. She was a princess, and they dared not to learn it. Especially Zhang, she already felt that having a princess as her teacher was her blessing for several lifetimes, and she studied harder and did not go to bed until night or even midnight.

It aroused everyone's envy, especially Zhang. She was definitely unable to eat with Zhou Yong before having dinner. Since Lu Yutong arrived, she and Jiang Ning disappeared, so she handed Zhang to sit next to her. No one dared to say anything more, and her identity and status were greatly improved invisibly.

Everyone was envious of Jiang Ning: "At a young age, he was able to get the princess. It was so powerful that the princess was still obedient, hey..."

"Since this place has been exposed, then we will use a single-line contact in the future, and the level will be increased by one level. There is no information about level 2 or above. Contact is not allowed, and keep silent..."

"Uh... Young Master... Jingmo is..." Song Wan was stunned.

Jiang Ning explained: "It's just not to contact us. This is a knowledge point. What I usually say to you, and the most meaning is expressed in the simplest words. This is the truth. The meaning of silence is that everyone except collecting intelligence, all activities to transmit intelligence must be cancelled, unless the above conditions are met, this is called silence."

Lu Yutong nodded in a slight sense of understanding, but said in her heart: "You speak lightly, so you can't learn my dialect slang for a while, but what you say makes sense."

Jiang Ning continued: "We must instruct everyone to be extra careful and be prepared for a protracted war. The front line will probably be very long."

"I understand..." Song Wan nodded.

"Who else knows Jing'anshi except for our own people?" Jiang Ning suddenly realized this problem. Sometimes the fortress was breached from the inside.

Zhou Yong frowned: "I have to think about it carefully. In addition to the second-general and the few presents, there are... and......"

Two names appeared in Zhou Yong's mind, but they flashed away: "Damn it, why can't you remember it at critical moments?"

But when facing Jiang Ning, he dared not not tell the truth. After all, Princess Changping was sitting next to Jiang Ning. If something went wrong, even if he had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut him down.

"It should be, there should be two..." Zhou Yong was silent for a moment, and still said: "But they are all his own people. One seems to be the scout of the Ministry of War in Jinling, and the other is the former Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army was adjusted for defense. Now there should be only the Ministry of War."

Jiang Ning shook his head, "No, the 200,000 permanent troops of the Ministry of War, the scouts should be more than 10,000. How could there be only one scout in such a large place as Jinling? Jing'an Division has only been in a few years, and its current scale is already like this, let alone the deeply rooted Ministry of War. What is the name of that person? Do you know this place?"

"Others call him Zhangguin Ge, who is the shopkeeper of a pawnshop in the east of the city. He only knows that I am in the north of the city, so he should not know the specific location." Zhou Yong said.

"Don't use it in the future. The news must be confirmed, otherwise there will be big problems." Jiang Ning continued: "It's a big problem to go out now. Ning Buhui and Fang Jinzhi already know our relationship, so we just put it in the clear place, and everything is as usual."

"Then will they let us out?" Song Wan said: "This is clearly a hostile force..."

Jiang Ning said, "They are just trapping us now, and the princess's affairs here should have been exposed, but there are some things that Fang La may not know about. Lu Qinghou's soldiers, haha, Lu Qinghou can't even make decisions about this matter, and he can only order Fang La. He is leaving behind the scenes, so there is no need to worry about this, just be careful when doing things, don't deliberately throw off your tail, and send messages underground in his eyelids."

Although Song Wan didn't understand why Jiang Ning was so sure, Jiang Ning said it was certain, so they could only try it first.

After dinner, Jiang Ning and Lu Yutong sat on the swing in the backyard. Lu Yutong looked up at the moon in the sky, looked at Jiang Ning again, and still expressed her doubts: "Why did they surround us without attacking? Wouldn't it be safer to capture us all?"

Jiang Ning smiled: "I thought too, wouldn't it be safer to hold it in my hand? But is Fang La 100% sure that he can overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Before Lu Yutong could answer, Jiang Ning continued, "No, no one is sure to succeed when the incident is uprising. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, etc., at the beginning, they were much more popular than Fang La, but what about the end? It was also a piece of loess, and the most successful one was Zhu Wen. After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were in vain. Fang La would also think about how to go the road. The imperial army had reached Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and it was only three or five days away from the front line of Chuzhou. Once it failed, he would have a bargaining chip, and you were the bargaining chips in his hand. He would not hold it in his hand unless he had to, because the ultimate goal was to negotiate."

"negotiation?"

"Yes, the situation in the north is probably not much better. If two fronts are fighting, the Daxia Dynasty will not be able to bear it. Therefore, in order to seek stability, someone will definitely propose to appease Fang La, give certain rights, and use Fang La to incorporate all threatening local forces for his use. So now, there is no fight. Both sides have their own ulterior motives. Fang La will not move if he can remain unmoved."
