He blinked and explained nonchalantly, "It's because there's sand in my eyes. I won't cry."

Zhan Beixiao entered the camp, and Wuying hurriedly followed him to make tea for him, "Although the general is not here, this place is cleaned every day. I just got the tea from the kitchen today. I know that the general can come back at any time."

.”

Zhan Beixiao had accumulated a lot of things to deal with when he was not in the army. Wuying was worried that his body could not bear it, so he did not mention these things. Zhan Beixiao took a few sips of tea and rested. Wuying was watching outside, and he slept

Very reassuring.

Early the next morning, military stewards lined up to report on various miscellaneous matters. There was not enough food and grass, so people had to go to various places to collect food and grass. The weather was hot and some soldiers were infected with the epidemic and there were no medicinal materials to treat it. If the war continued, supplies would be needed.

Bows and arrows weapons, etc.

He could foresee all these problems. Weapons were fine, and food and grass were a top priority. They had almost collected all the food in the surrounding area. If they had to run further away, it would be too late. Tens of thousands of people could not run out of food in one day.

Colonel Yang frowned, "General, thank you for coming back in time, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

How could Zhan Beixiao not know this? He thought about it and made a bold decision, "You take your money and go to a distant state to collect grain and grass. I will handle the matter here."

Colonel Yang let out a sigh of relief when he heard that someone finally took over the burden for him. He took the sign and paid the money and left.

Wuying looked at Zhan Beixiao and asked in confusion: "General, what are you going to do about the food and grass matter?"

"What else can we do? Changsun Wujue is hiding in the Qin Mansion. They must have food and grass in their hands. Let's go find out where their luggage is tonight. Let's borrow it for a few days."

Wuying's face suddenly became filled with joy, "The general is wise, I knew the general would have a solution."

After that, I dealt with some other chores and called all the lieutenants together to prepare for a martial arts competition. The top one was promoted to General Piaoqi, and those who performed well were awarded five taels of silver. After the news spread, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the morale of the three armies was boosted.

The enthusiasm for training is greatly improved.

The atmosphere was indeed different when the coach came back. Zhan Beixiao looked at the vibrant military camp and began to thank Feng Qinghua. If it weren't for her prompt decision, he would still be trapped in the palace prison, and he didn't know what the chaos would be like in the military camp after he came out.

After dinner, he and Wuying put on night clothes and quietly left the military camp. They arrived in the capital at 1:00 pm. The capital was silent at this time. It was during the war, and not many people came out during the day. There were few shops in the city.

The place in front of the door was sparsely deserted, and at this time it was even more like an empty city.

Qin Mansion and the others were familiar with the road and soon arrived in front of the door. The two of them went to the tree again like ghosts. Zhan Beixiao looked into the house and saw that there was no light today. Could it be that they were asleep.

This is a good time for people. Things like food and grass are usually left to the most trusted people. The two of them got down from the tree and returned to the inner courtyard. They hid in the root of a gable and saw a group of guards passing by.

Ying let the first few pass by, spotted the last one with lightning speed, grabbed his neck, and covered his mouth with his right hand, dragging him into the shadows.

Zhan Beixiao flashed the dagger in his hand and placed it on his neck. Only a pair of determined eyes were exposed above the black scarf, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't move and don't shout, otherwise you will die immediately."

The man was so frightened that he shook his hands in panic and his eyes widened with fear.

"Which room does Lord Qin live in?"

The guard pointed in one direction of the inner house and said, "There is an independent hexagonal building inside. I live there."

Zhan Beixiao and Wuying nodded to each other. Wuying hit the man on the back of the neck with a knife, and dragged him behind a rockery to cover him with branches and leaves. The two of them avoided the guards who patrolled the night and turned around a screen wall to arrive.

In the inner courtyard.

I saw a small hexagonal building from a distance. This small building stood out from the crowd and was very eye-catching. At this time, there was only one room with lights inside. "Wuying, you stay here to look out, I will go in alone."

When Zhan Beixiao passed by a wing, he heard the sound of a baby crying. His heart moved. He heard that the Qin family had recently added a grandson. Could it be that he lived here? This would be a good opportunity. He turned in right away.

.

There were two women keeping vigil outside, but now they were sleeping soundly with their heads tilted. A wet nurse was sleeping inside. He didn't take a closer look. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small rattle thrown on the table. He picked it up and left.

.

"This is enough."

He quietly left here and went to the bottom of the hexagonal building. After passing several building edges, he turned to the lighted room.

Marquis Qin's first wife had passed away many years ago, and his concubines and concubines were always scheming and fighting for power, which annoyed him, so he moved to this hexagonal building alone. As he got older, he always couldn't sleep. In order not to wake up late at night

When he woke up, he couldn't fall asleep. He always stayed up until midnight before taking a rest.

At this time, he was holding a chess book and looking at it in fascination. The child beside him had already fallen asleep on the table. Zhan Beixiao first threw a stone and hit it on the door frame, and then he hid in the shadow.

The Marquis of Qin suddenly raised his head, and there was no figure in the flickering light. His two secret guards came out from nowhere, "Master, did someone come here just now?"

"No, is it because I'm dazzled?"

The two secret guards walked out of the house and took a look in the yard. They didn't see anything unusual. They saw a wild cat leaping over with a meow, and a branch shadow swaying.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it turns out to be a cat. Let's go back and rest peacefully. Even thieves will not find us here."

Zhan Beixiao watched the two people enter the house, greet Lord Qin and then leave.

He just came out of the shadows and came into the room like a ghost. Lord Qin was watching in rapt attention when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. A cold light forced his throat, and then a small rattle was thrown to him with a snap.

In front of his eyes.

His heart trembled. He recognized this toy. He used this rattle to entertain his grandson during the day. What did this person mean? He felt cold all of a sudden, his face turned pale and he asked tremblingly: "You...this is

Why don't you even spare the infant baby?"

Zhan Beixiao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, he is sleeping well now. If you don't cooperate, he might die of a bad disease."

The Marquis of Qin did not dare to move, "Sir, tell me, I will agree to anything. I will give you everything including gold, silver, jewels, and the land deed of the village."
