Ling Xiaoran sat on the horse, his eyes falling on Jiang Yunxu for a long time and unable to move away.
Suddenly, I felt envious of Chu Xuanzhi, who could have someone beside him who could fight alongside him.
"Your Majesty Xiangya, what do you think of this matter?"
Jiang Yunxu raised his head and looked at the other party.
The two looked at each other, one showing admiration and the other implicitly questioning.
"Thank you, Empress Jiang, for reminding us." Ling Xiaoran responded with a smile, but suddenly his face darkened and he looked at the lieutenant who had just spoken: "Is it wrong for Empress Jiang to remind us? Why don't you apologize quickly?"
The lieutenant general who was scolded had a stern look on his face, but he couldn't resist the order. He raised his hands to Jiang Yunxu and said, "Queen Jiang, please forgive me."
Jiang Yunxu raised his hand generously to express his forgiveness.
The two sides dispersed.
"Thanks to the Queen's timely discovery this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Several of Lingyi's soldiers were grateful.
Jiang Yunxu smiled and said nothing, bent down and squatted in front of the big pit, and sent someone to find out how deep the tunnel was.
Several dexterous guards got into the tunnel and walked for a full two hours before returning.
"She's quite capable of digging." Jiang Yunxu smiled. Yu Qingzhou must have been furious. He had wasted so much time, but she saw through it at a glance.
"Empress, do you want to fill this hole?" Vice General Zhou suddenly asked.
Jiang Yunxu stood up and patted the dust on his body: "There is no need to waste energy. It is not a bad thing to keep it for the time being. By the way, does Vice General Zhou know if Yu Qingzhou has a powerful general or assistant under him?"
How can we not make good use of the handle that is delivered to our door?
Vice General Zhou lowered his head and thought carefully for a moment before he said: "There really is a capable general named Xu You. He was born poor but is a genius. He has been following the Nanyang Prince for two years. I was fortunate enough to experience Xu You's power once.
"
Jiang Yunxu fell silent after hearing this.
"If the empress wants to win over Xu You, I'm afraid it will be difficult. This person is unruly and can't stand the slightest anger." Vice General Zhou said with a frown.
Jiang Yunxu smiled: "Who said I would win over him."
When Vice General Zhou looked puzzled, Jiang Yunxu ordered people to pack straw into sacks and put them all into the tunnel. He also wrote a letter in his own hand, with thirty thousand taels of silver in it, and sent someone to quietly send it to Nanyang.
"Why does the master want to give money to Xu You?"
That was the private money that the master had worked so hard to save, and it was just given to a stranger for nothing?
Jiang Yunxu smiled: "Do you think it's worth spending thirty thousand taels of silver to drive a wedge between Yu Qingzhou and Xu You?"
In front of wizards, money is just an external possession and is not worth mentioning at all.
"But Xu You didn't help us. Could Prince Nanyang be fooled easily? If the letter was intercepted, wouldn't it be a waste of so much money?" Hong Qiao was confused.
Jiang Yunxu raised her eyebrows. This letter was not meant for Xu You. She just wanted the letter to be of maximum value if it fell into Yu Qingzhou's hands.
As she expected, a secret letter was intercepted. Yu Qingzhou looked at the words on it and found them familiar.
"The person who delivered the letter sneaked into the camp to be sneaky and ran away after being discovered. However, this letter was found in front of Mr. Xu's camp," the guard said.
Yu Qingzhou curled his fingertips and did not open the letter for a long time.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are out of control.
Finally, after struggling with his thoughts, he opened the letter. The banknote came into view, and his pupils shrank.
Followed by a few words of thanks.
Thanks??
Yu Qingzhou seemed to have thought of something, and his face became more and more gloomy.
His fingertips clenched the letter tightly as if he wanted to tear it into pieces.
"Where is Mr. Xu?"
"Go back to Your Highness, Mr. Xu went to the back mountain and has not come back yet."
Yu Qingzhou's breath was stagnant, and he was extremely angry. He couldn't believe that Xu You had betrayed him!
He summoned several close ministers to discuss the matter.
After hearing this, one of them said angrily: "No wonder Lingyi was not fooled and just avoided our trap. It turned out to be a spy!"
"Master Xu also bought a big mansion a few days ago. I was still wondering why he is so rich. It turns out that he got it with the dirty money from betraying His Highness!"
Several people cursed.
Yu Qingzhou rubbed his eyebrows. Xu You was the military advisor he had finally convinced. He was a prodigy on the battlefield. The reason why the black armor was well-trained was also related to Xu You.
He suddenly remembered the disappearance of nearly nine thousand black armored troops...
Is it possible that Xu You betrayed him from that moment on?
"Your Highness, Xu You cannot stay any longer."
"It's better to kill Xu You directly."
Several people expressed the opinion that they would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.
It is a taboo for such people to stay in the military camp!
Yu Qingzhou is in a dilemma. He cherishes talent, but also hates betrayal.
One of them saw Yu Qingzhou's dilemma and said, "Master Xu has a weird temper. He may not do this. It may also be Ling Yi's plan to alienate him!"
Yu Qingzhou's eyebrows relaxed.
"Your Highness, please don't take risks. If the plan is leaked on the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of troops will be lost, and the country may be destroyed. There are many capable people in the world, and I don't mind missing this one!"
Hearing this, Yu Qingzhou fell into deep thought again.
two days later
When the news of Xu You's disappearance came, Vice General Zhou exclaimed, his first thought was that the Queen was really a goddess.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Jiang Yunxu rushing back from Dakeng, and he greeted him respectfully: "Mother, Xu You is missing."
Jiang Yunxu was not surprised. Even if Yu Qingzhou knew it was a trap, he would jump in.
Human nature is suspicious, and Yu Qingzhou is also good at suspicion.
The longer time went by, the deeper the thorn in his heart pierced.
Furthermore, once an arrogant person like Xu You knows that Yu Qingzhou no longer believes in him, he will definitely find a way to leave.
There are two endings for Xu You, either he really leaves or he is imprisoned.
