Chapter 120

An Ruochen received another letter from Long Da. This letter contained quite a lot of content, but it was just talking about daily routines, writing about military camp life and war situations, and saying that I missed her and asked her to take good care of herself and not be tired.

An Ruochen read the letter several times, thinking over and over between the words and sentences, wishing to take apart the words and analyze their meaning, staring at the light from front to back for a long time, but never saw any mystery in the letter. If the last letter was unusually concise, then this one is unusually ordinary.

The two letters had only one thing in common: he did not respond to the events and doubts reported in her letter. It was as if he hadn’t read her letter.

The interval between the letters is one day, which means that I have written to her for two consecutive days. But it was written like this.

An Ruochen was sure that the letter was indeed written by the general, with his handwriting and tone of voice, so there must be deep meaning in the letter. It’s just that she can’t figure it out. An Ruochen was annoyed and anxious about this.

Qian Pei was sitting in the carriage, and there was a person sitting opposite him.

“How could Ye Qunfei come to deal with Qi Zheng?”

Qian Pei snorted coldly: “I said I know what’s in my heart, so I’ll do it. He just won’t listen. I don’t understand why one or two of them all think they’re great.”

The man opposite him pursed his lips, knowing that he was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, and he scolded both the previous two Mr. Xie.

Qian Pei glanced at him, “Where did I go wrong? Ye Qunfei just needs to take care of his Mao County, and there are many things to deal with there. But he just feels that he is omnipotent, so he intervened in my Pingnan County. ”

“After all, Tang Xuan is dead, someone has to take over Pingnan’s contact.”

“It’s not his turn.” Qian Pei stared at the person in front of him, and said, “Don’t tell me you have to be from Nanqin to contact the people in charge? It’s good now, another one died. This time, it’s not necessary to kill yourself this time. ”

“What’s the use of saying that now?”

“Of course it’s useful. If you don’t wake up, you won’t learn a lesson. Besides, be careful. You can’t get any news from An Ruochen’s actions several times. Does she have suspicions about you?”

“She’s probably suspicious of everyone.”

“That’s for you too.” Qian Pei snorted, “You don’t know that she is going to Xiushan, you don’t know that she provoked the villagers, you don’t know that she asked Qi Zheng to follow me, you still have by her side What’s the use?”

The man gritted his teeth: “You don’t have to arrange me on purpose. How many things I have done and how much information I have found out are all counted. I am the one who climbed the highest position in the Dragon Army in the whole plan. My role , not you, an old pervert in the market, can replace you.”

“I’m not interested in replacing you. Since you know your position, that’s the best. You have to understand that you are very important, and An Ruochen can’t be given another chance to dig you out.”

“After all, you just want to get An Ruochen.”

Qian Pei smiled and said: “It’s the right time, isn’t it? I’ve discussed this matter with Ye Qunfei, but Qi Zheng broke out halfway, and the surnamed Ye is self-righteous and self-defeating. Now I have to help him get some hands from Maojun.” tail.”

“Don’t be self-righteous. Mao County is not your territory. The inspector will be here soon. Don’t disturb that end.”

“Someone has to pass the news. Ye Qunfei couldn’t die in vain. Speaking of this, I have news for you. I received a message from Fei Ge that Long Teng left the barracks privately and met with Inspector Mr. Liang in Anhe Town.”

The man was taken aback: “Leaving the barracks privately? This is wartime.”

“What kind of crime can you be convicted of? What do you pay attention to in your army?”

“The defecting general can be killed immediately in front of the tent. What is Long Teng thinking?”

“I’m not sure about that. The letter is very short and doesn’t have too many instructions. It only said that he left the barracks privately. Let us find ways to obtain evidence, personal evidence, physical evidence, in short, there are real evidence, so that everyone knows That’s good.”

The man frowned: “Long Teng wrote a letter to An Ruochen…”

Qian Pei sneered: “Do you think he is so stupid that he would write such a felony in a letter?”

“Writing a letter at such a time should also be arranged.”

“There is an arrangement, maybe An Ruochen lures out spies from the army. You’d better not act rashly.”

It is very possible. The man stopped talking.

Qian Pei said again: “I just said that you are very important, so don’t expose it. Qi Zheng didn’t know whether he listened or not. At that time, Ye Qunfei was telling me that there was no information to be obtained from An Ruochen. Those who are interested are careful Once you think about it, you will know that there are spies around An Ruochen.”

“Don’t worry, Qi Zheng didn’t tell An Ruochen anything, he insisted that he didn’t hear anything.”

Qian Pei thought for a while: “That has to be handled with care.”

“You have to be careful. If you want to catch An Ruochen, the spies around her, the prefect, and the military will all have to deal with it. As you said just now, it’s self-defeating, but don’t make the same mistake. Even if you catch her People exposed us in the end, and the loss outweighs the gain. Long Teng arranged step by step, and even got engaged to her, maybe it was a trick, waiting for us to do it.”

“Naturally, we should take action when the time is right.” Qian Pei glanced at him sideways, and then asked, “Does the nun have any news?”

“No. I know what you are concerned about, and An Ruofang has no news.” The man paused, and said, “At least I haven’t heard any news. But An Ruochen is not the same as before, so I have to think about it. She recently What’s the purpose of provoking An’s family? Does she really care about her second sister’s marriage?”

Qian Pei sneered: “I really don’t want to make you useless. But you are by An Ruochen’s side, you don’t understand these things, and you ask me instead?”

The man choked.

Qian Pei said: “I will clean up the An family. After all, An Ruochen can’t let go of her sisters. An Ruofang’s mother is still there, and the An family is still useful. I have arranged for the evidence of Long Da’s private departure from the barracks. It’s done. As for you, just stay put and don’t let An Ruochen become suspicious. Keep an eye on Qi Zheng, keep an eye on Mrs. Lu, who are the spies under An Ruochen’s hands, and how many can be dug out.”

The carriage was galloping on the street, and the discussion between the two was hidden in the carriage, and no one knew about it. Qian Pei knocked on the carriage board at the front of the car, the groom heard the sound and understood. When passing through an alley, seeing no one left or right, he slowed down the speed of the car, and then heard a knock on the carriage, and let the horse gallop again.

The man in the car had already taken the opportunity to get out of the carriage, walked through the alley to the other side of the street with a normal expression, and walked into the crowd.

Qian Shixin received the news from Yatou Hou Yu, so he went to the prefect’s mansion and met Yao Kun. Of course, he didn’t directly say that Long Da was not in the barracks, but patiently discussed with the prefect. After talking about a murder case in Fu’an County, he went to the granary in Fu’an County, talked about the supply of military rations, and then asked about the frontline war .

“Everything seems to be going well, and there is no crisis yet. The Long family’s army blocked Nanqin’s several attacks on Shilingya. I also received a military report from General Long yesterday. For weapons, the general asked for three hundred long spears, two hundred broadswords, five hundred large bows, and eight thousand arrows.” Yao Kun said: “I’m afraid the arsenal in Zhonglan City is not enough, and most of the craftsmen have been transferred to the frontline village by the general. It’s time to repair the weapons. I’ve already sent orders to the counties, so that they can make castings quickly. Have you received the orders, Mr. Qian?”

“Got it, I’m ordering craftsmen in the whole county to rush to make it. Please don’t worry, my lord.” Qian Shixin replied while secretly thinking about Long Da’s cunning. He said: “I came here this time, and I also want to ask, I don’t know if there is anything missing, so I can make the whole county prepare early.”

“No shortage.” Yao Kun said: “General Long is indeed experienced in combat. Before the war, he asked for a lot of preparations. I thought he thought too much, but it turned out to be really useful. The weapon he mentioned this time , is also for preparation. Food and grass are also sufficient.”

“Having said that, my lord should still send a subordinate to the front line to have a look and ask. Even if there is nothing missing, let General Long know your lord’s concern. After all, the patrol envoy is coming. When Lord Baiying asks about the frontline war, what if If you don’t answer carefully, it’s not good to be caught by him.”

Yao Kun thought for a while: “You’re right.” Immediately he called the master Bo Jiang Hongqing and asked him to send people to Shilingya and Sixiajiang respectively to ask about the situation of the war and the supplies needed. Jiang Hongqing took the order to do it. Seeing this, Qian Shixin said a few more polite words, and returned satisfied.

If the people sent by Yao Kun went to the front barracks and found that General Long was not there at all, it would be done. At that time, the entire Pingnan County government will be witnesses, and there will be rumors in the city. Long Teng’s reputation will not be guaranteed, and the evidence of the crime will be conclusive. up. After all, the righteous master is gone, who needs hostages?

An Ruoxi sat upright, very nervous. She smiled, trying to look beautiful and dignified.

It’s just that Xue Xuran, who was sitting across from her, didn’t look at her face. He looked at the teapot on the table and asked her: “What do you mean by your family, that if my family doesn’t give an accurate statement tomorrow, the marriage will be forgotten?”

An Ruoxi was taken aback, she didn’t know. She was in a hurry, the matchmaker did come yesterday, she didn’t have the nerve to ask her mother directly, and asked the girl to inquire, but when she came back, she said that the marriage was almost done, and her father had already agreed. She was so happy that she didn’t sleep well all night, she was really thinking about it, she couldn’t help but come to Xixiu Hall again today, but with such good luck, Mr. Xue actually came to the shop. Seeing her there, he asked her to have a chat in the private room, but unexpectedly, he actually told her the news.

“Tomorrow? Then, then…” An Ruoxi tried hard to analyze the emotions on Xue Xuran’s face, but unfortunately she couldn’t tell. “Does Mr. Xue want to think about it for a few more days?”

Xue Xuran finally raised his head and glanced at her, it seemed that she didn’t know.

An Ruoxi muttered: “Then, how long are you going to think about it? I’ll go back and talk to my mother.”

Xue Xuran stared at her: “What did you say?”

An Ruoxi’s face was hot: “Just say, let’s wait a few more days…”

“Instead of persuading your mother to wait a few more days, why don’t you ask me what I think about it. If I don’t think well, it will be useless for you to wait a few days.”

“My lord is right.”

Xue Xuran really wanted to roll her eyes at her.

“How does the young man think about it?”
