early morning.

North of Anding City.

The city gate has not yet been opened. There is a team parked outside the city, waiting for the city gate to open. There are Han people, Mongolian people in the team, and there are also heavily covered baggage vehicles.

There are many Han and Mongolian people living in this huge city of Anding. There is enough food, grass and salt, but some daily necessities are not enough.

The city gate will open from time to time to receive some medicinal materials, cloth and other items.

However, goods and personnel will undergo strict inspection.

Soon after, the city gate opened. After an inspection, the team entered the city smoothly.

Martial law was implemented in the city, and apart from a few Mongolian and Yuan people active on the streets, there were only officials and Mongolian Yuan soldiers responsible for patrolling.

Ordinary Han people are hiding in their homes, closing their doors and windows.

Even if the people's hearts were drawn to the Han Dynasty, there were still brave heroes among them. But they were unarmed and could not resist the powerful Mongolian soldiers and open the city of Anding.

If you try to do it forcefully, it's just hitting an egg against a stone.

Governor's Yamen.

The yamen was crowded with people, there were many officials, and it was a huge place, but they were either drinking tea or in a daze.

Originally, the Governor's Yamen was really busy.

When the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong were in the hands of the Mongolians, now even most of the cities in Huanglong Prefecture have fallen into the hands of Wu Nian.

Qin Zhen became a polished commander, and officials like them became idlers, doing nothing all day long.

In the study room, Qin Zhen was sitting at the desk reading, looking very focused on the surface, but not calm inside.

The Mongolian Yuan propaganda said that there was one win and one draw.

Jin Xuanyun led Qianhu cavalry and invited the Han army to fight.

Feng Chong fought, but was defeated and fled in embarrassment.

Wan Yanxian and other 30,000 households encountered the Han army in the middle of the night. The Meng Yuan army was slightly defeated and the princess of Zhou was injured.

It's a tie.

At present, the morale among the Mongolian and Yuan armies is pretty good.

But he knew that Jin Xuanyun and Wanyan Xian were both defeated.

Before the decisive battle even started, Meng Yuan had already lost two battles in a row.

The strength of the Han army weighed heavily on his back. No matter what he was doing, whether he was eating, drinking, or sleeping, he found it difficult to concentrate.

"It's so powerful. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't be such a hothead and work for the Meng Yuan people." Qin Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, put down the book in his hand, and stretched out his hand to rub his temples.

He didn't know how many times he had regretted it, but the deal was already done and there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a servant came in from outside, bowed to Qin Zhen and said, "Sir, the County Prime Minister, please see me."

A smile appeared on Qin Zhen's face, he put down the book and said to the servant: "Invite me, go make tea."

County Prime Minister Wang Xue.

He was his student and had some indirect relatives. He was originally a scholar. After he became the governor of Liaodong, he promoted Wang Xue to become the chief minister of Anding County.

The daily relationship between the two is very harmonious.

It belongs to the category of "teacher is kind and son is filial".

At this juncture, everything has stopped. There is no official business in the yamen, and only disciples like Wang Xue will come to him to drink tea, sit down, and chat.

"Yes." The servant clasped his fists in response, turned around and went down.

Not long after, Wang Xue walked in from outside with his head held high. After standing still, he saluted Qin Zhen respectfully and said, "Teacher."

Respecting teachers is in the details. Wang Xue was as respectful as ever, which made Qin Zhen very useful. But he still said: "Xueer, how many times have I told you. Although I am your teacher, now

We are officials in the same court. You don't have to be so respectful all the time."

"Yes." Wang Xue responded very respectfully.

Qin Zhen felt even more useful. He pretended to be helpless and said a few words to Wang Xue until a servant came in from outside with a tea cup.

He asked Wang Xue to sit down, and they drank tea and chatted together. It was normal at first, until Wang Xue put down the tea cup, walked gently to Qin Zhen's side, and whispered: "Teacher. Although my name is

I have called you "Teacher" countless times, but in my heart I actually look down on you."

Qin Zhen was shocked when he heard this. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Wang Xue, who was about to speak.

Wang Xue shook his head slightly and said: "Teacher, please don't make any noise. The Meng Yuan people have placed ears and ears around you. The walls have ears. Let's pretend to chat and talk in detail."

"Teacher, I am a member of the King of Han. The King of Han kept his promise and said that as long as you find a way to open the Anding City, Teacher, I will spare your life and let bygones be bygones."

After Wang Xue finished speaking, he returned to his seat, raised his voice to a normal level, and said: "Teacher, this tea is good. It seems to be the good tea from Hangzhou."

"Now Liaodong is occupied by Wu Nian. Our sea passage has been cut off. The good tea from Chu State that came to Liaodong through maritime trade stopped outside Huanglong Mansion. This good tea is really rare."

Qin Zhen's heart was like a violent storm, and his eyes were filled with horror. He looked at Wang Xue as if he were looking at a stranger.

This disciple whom he single-handedly promoted turned out to be from Wu Nian?

Wu Nian’s detailed work?

Although he knew Anding City, no, the entire Huanglong Mansion was like a leaky sieve, with Wu Nian's spies everywhere.

But I didn't expect...

Qin Zhen's heart was filled with turmoil. He looked at Wang Xue with endless anger and wanted to eat Wang Xue alive.

This traitor, traitor.

But he is a very human being after all. After being shocked and angry, he managed to calm down.

"As expected of you. I tasted it right away. This tea is indeed a famous tea produced in Hangzhou. It came to my hands through the road. After all, trade is not limited to sea trade."

Qin Zhen's tone was relatively calm.

"You are indeed a teacher. You can even get such good tea." Wang Xue complimented with a smile.

The two were chatting as usual. But Qin Zhen was in a struggle inside.

I was accused by thousands of people and came out to work for Meng Yuan. All I wanted was fame and fortune. More than ten years ago.

The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was so invincible. Tens of thousands of households went south, sweeping through the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong, just like searching for something. Shanhaiguan is in front of them.

As long as Meng Yuan entered the pass, he would be the real emperor. He was both the Emperor of Meng Yuan and the emperor of the Han people.

When the time comes, given my status, I will be able to join the imperial court and become a minister or cabinet minister. I will then become a prosperous person. Moreover, the descendants of Deliu will be rich and prosperous for a long time.

The invincible Meng Yuan people are the good Meng Yuan people.

Today's Meng Yuan people are really bullshit Meng Yuan people.

If Wu Nian can fulfill his promise, he will not be held accountable.

Of course that means surrendering.

But the problem is.

Can Wu Nian's promise be kept true?

Seriously.

Wu Nian's reputation is very good, every spit is like a nail. The government decrees are never changed overnight.

What I said was basically true to my word.

Therefore it is very prestigious.

But he was a thorn in Wu Nian's side.
