late at night

Braving the heavy rain, the dark figure hurried to the largest and most powerful house in the city. After knocking on the corner door, he handed over a token, then entered through the corner door and hurried to the study.

In the study room, an elegant middle-aged man was reading a book. When he saw the person coming in, he looked at the next page calmly.

"What's the matter, in such a hurry?"

"The Five Tigers have received news that they have not received the goods for half a month overdue. Sir, I'm afraid something will change in Lomeng Mountain." The visitor reported cautiously.

A year and a half ago, Qishan suddenly stopped collecting taxes. The marshal named a general and led troops to Qishan to investigate the military situation. Since then, the army has completely lost its traces. No one is alive or dead.

The generals knew what was happening and were afraid that the army would be in danger. They were afraid that they would be destroyed. The whole army would be destroyed and no one would escape.

The marshal was very angry. After receiving the news, he wanted to send generals to Qishan to suppress the bandits. Unexpectedly, the foreign tribes suddenly started making trouble at this time, and then the prince and princess from the Duke's mansion came...

After procrastinating until now, after solving the foreign affairs, something happened again in Lomeng Mountain. Within a month or two, Lomeng Mountain was also out of their control.

In the past two years, they seemed to have had a bad time, and nothing went smoothly for them.

Without the grain collected from Qishan, they have other places to collect it. However, nothing can happen to Lomeng Mountain. In this business, there is only one weapons manufacturer in Lomeng Mountain.

All the deposits have been collected, but the goods have not been received for half a month. Those people are making trouble and are about to get out of control.

"Inform all the generals to come over for a war meeting." The elegant middle-aged man said.

"Yes, Marshal."

.....................

The days flew by and the golden autumn arrived.

What you see are pieces of golden rice, which is pleasing to the eye.

Without the bandits and troubles, Qishan is prospering under Qingyun's management, and the people's lives are getting better and better.

"My lord, my lord, Sir Du Zhubo sent me to inform you that there is an urgent matter in the Yamen and you need to go back to deal with it."

Qingyun held a sickle, rolled up his trouser legs, and was about to go to the fields to harvest rice. The sound of a police officer came from afar, so Qingyun went to see the old man first.

"There's something going on at the Yamen. I'll go back and deal with it first. I'll come back after it's done."

The old man only has one sentence: "Official affairs come first."

.....................

Qingyun walked into the courtroom. Du Chun'an and Bai Yanheng were already there. Bai Yanheng's face was still expressionless, while Du Chun'an's face was dark and solemn.

"You look so ugly, what happened?" Qingyun asked.

"Sir, this is the news from the border. Take a look." Du Chun'an handed him a thick stack of letter paper.

Qingyun took it and looked through it. He looked at the top few pictures, his expression gradually became serious, and when he saw the whole person behind him, he looked bad.

"What do you mean? He wants to send troops? Is he sick?" Qingyun dropped the letter in his hand, "A border marshal, instead of attacking foreigners who have offended our country, actually sent troops to the mountains to suppress bandits. Do you have any brains?"

Qingyun Qi is definitely a little angry, but it's not unexpected. It will happen sooner or later.

Qishan has not paid taxes to the superiors for two years, and the weapons from Lomeng Mountain suddenly did not come over. It is strange that the old thief Qian can sit still.

"The Marshal's Mansion is heavily guarded. Except for his die-hard subordinates, no one can enter or leave unless summoned. People from the intelligence network have been lurking for so long, and it is difficult to get close to the annex of the Marshal's Mansion.

Recently, many generals have been in and out of the Marshal's Mansion, and there have been some changes in the barracks, but the changes are not big, so the people in the intelligence network can catch clues and deduce this news." Du Chun'an said.

"Didn't it mean that those foreigners had a falling out with old thief Qian, and the princess was taken as a hostage, so they reconciled?" Qingyun clicked his tongue. They were fighting as if they were joking. They said they were falling out, but they were falling out, and they were making peace immediately after saying they were making up.

alright.

Foreigners have no principles at all.

If you are all torn apart, let’s fight to the end.

"It is difficult for hidden sources to get close to the Marshal's Mansion, and they cannot find out important or confidential information."

Du Chun'an was also helpless. It was good that Mad Wolf could find out the news about sending troops.

In other words, it is not clear why they reconciled, nor is it known whether the princess was rescued.

"They had negotiated privately and agreed to give the foreigners a batch of weapons and 100,000 shi of food. The foreigners agreed to withdraw fifty miles. The princess died. The old thief Qian's brochure said that the princess, for the sake of border peace and the people of the Dayong Dynasty,

Voluntary sacrifice." Bai Yanheng, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly said.

"How do you know so clearly?" Qingyun looked at him.

Bai Yanheng remained silent.

Du Chun'an was equally surprised, and then looked at Qingyun in surprise.

He didn't know it was extenuating. Bai Yanheng was the Lord's personal guard before, but judging from the Lord's expression, he didn't know this information either.

Something is wrong!

Du Chun'an lowered his eyes, had he discovered a great secret?

Qingyun blinked, glanced at Bai Yanheng, and suppressed the shock in his heart.

"The princess died and the court didn't respond at all?" Qingyun asked.

Regardless of whether the princess is favored or not, she represents the face of the Dayong Dynasty outside. If a princess of a country dies in a foreign clan, it must be the Dayong Dynasty that is embarrassed!

I heard that the third princess was a favored one and was deeply liked by the old emperor, so she had the arrogance to chase the fourth young master of the Duke's mansion all over the world, otherwise she would have been killed long ago.

It is impossible for the emperor to have no reaction at all.

"It's useless for the Holy One to be angry. The old thief Qian controls a million-strong army in the northwest. Besides, he praises the three princesses for their benevolence and righteousness. She sacrifices herself for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. She is a model and a hero for the people of the world.

All the soldiers and generals on the border admire her for what she has done, and hereby mourn her for half a year. This honor has only been held by the three princesses since the founding of the Dayong Dynasty."

Bai Yanheng said expressionlessly.

Qingyun sneered, everyone is dead, no matter how much glory there is, it has nothing to do with it. As long as the princess can survive, she definitely doesn't want to die.

"What a pity." Qingyun said suddenly.

As long as the three princesses don't die, they might be able to give Qishan some time to recuperate.

Du Chun'an and Bai Yanheng glanced at him, wondering what he was regretting.

"Old thief Qian is determined to come to Qishan to annihilate us this time. How many troops do you think he will send?"

They knew in their hearts that Old Thief Qian sent troops this time because they controlled Lomeng Mountain and touched the interests of Old Thief Qian, which was a big benefit.

Unexpectedly, they had controlled Qishan for two years, and the old thief Qian had not made any move. Once Luomeng Mountain was in their hands, the old thief Qian could not sit still.

Qingyun squinted his eyes and thought, if he was the old thief Qian, since he planned to send troops, he must take back Luomeng Mountain in one fell swoop, with at least one or two hundred thousand troops, killing all the chickens and dogs in Luomeng Mountain.

"The year before last, he sent a thousand soldiers and horses to Qishan, and the whole army was destroyed. How many people are there in the four villages in Qishan, and how many people are in Luomeng Mountain? Based on his experience, he can definitely guess how many troops we have. At least he sent

Fifty thousand troops and horses." Du Chun'an said.

Makes sense.
