Rong Heng's indifference and peacefulness made him quite popular with everyone in the foreign affairs mission, coupled with his calm style and understanding of Lou Lan's style, soon, everyone regarded him as their own person.

In the days when they were trapped in the northern country for a long time, Rong Heng became a booster for them when they were adrift. It's like when you're in a foreign country, you think that guests in a foreign land need to be accepted and tolerated, and Rong Heng is the first acceptance and recognition from Lou Lan in everyone's minds.

My father once said that the beginning of the greatest disaster in life is when you believe in someone you shouldn't believe. An Sui felt that that sentence was true, but the sadness is that you know that you shouldn't trust someone you shouldn't believe, but you don't know if the one you believe in is someone you shouldn't believe.

But the facts will prove whether that person should be believed, and Rong Heng has been proven by time that he should not be a person to be believed.

When Rong Heng's betrayal began, in fact, there is no way to test, perhaps from the fact that he followed the mission to meet the eldest brother who had become the first heir in line to the throne and once threw him into the wilderness, and then aroused his restless and hidden deepest thirst for power. Or from the beginning when he stepped into death with half a step, he was perfectly prepared for the revenge later, but just happened to encounter the platform and opportunity worth using as the Foreign Affairs Mission.

An Sui didn't remember when the man-made accident happened, and all she remembered was the constant smell of blood and stench, and when she came back to her senses, there were only two people left in the entire mission, her and her father. His father fled with him to the border of Great Chu, while Guizi's army was in hot pursuit. Why they chased and killed their father, the reason is unknown, but it is a fact that they wanted to take his father's life. During that time, they hid their identities and scattered among the crowds, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out.

The father hid An Sui in the woods, alone in the face of the Guizi army, An Sui watched the knife stab into his father's body, and then his father slowly fell, and the blood from the knife wound was still dripping blood. The group of people followed the traces to find An Sui hiding in the forest, in the dark, An Sui couldn't see the face of the person who came, but the person saw An Sui's eyes clearly, "Come to me, it's you." Since someone asked me for your life, I will leave you for the time being. ”

The man took out a token from his sleeve and threw it in front of An Sui, "This is a token, you can leave Lou Lan with it, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is your last chance." Before tomorrow, leave Lou Lan. ”

"I'm going to leave with my father's body!"

The man glanced behind him, "He can't leave until we're sure he's dead." ”

"And how do you know for sure?"

"I'll give you an answer by tomorrow."

An Sui was taken away in this way, locked in a dark room and unable to move, and then was sent back to Dachu with his father's "remains".

It was really a desperate experience, a total of twenty people went out of the mission, but only two people came back, for this matter, the first emperor was greatly furious, the Zongzheng family united with the queen at that time, shook out the past of Ning Guifei and his father, so the first emperor sent people to Anfu three times twice to apply for his father, coupled with his father's internal injuries Yan zhòng, and died of depression in a short time.

Before his father died, the original words were like this, "If Rong Heng is still alive, then the only person who betrayed the mission is Rong Heng, and the person who hunted us down is the royal family of Guizi, if this is the case, Rong Heng's identity must not be simple, he has always been ambitious, and now it seems that he is also ambitious." ”

If An Sui couldn't believe it back then, now he fully understands that Murong Heng and his brother must have the support of the forces to seize the throne, he did not choose Lou Lan's forces, but chose Gui Zi and betrayed the mission in exchange for Gui Zi's bargaining chips. This is an extremely dangerous but smart decision, just like his father's words back then, Murong Heng will definitely not be an ordinary person, and he must have his share in dividing up the world of the Northern Kingdom.

Ji Xuanyuan listened quietly to what An Sui said, and he knew that there must have been a lot of fragments in those words that she didn't want to recall, about Rong Heng, about the mission.

An Sui seemed to be tired of talking, Ji Xuanyuan stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, "It's all over." ”

After a few days, Ji Xuanyuan's hand injury was much better, Chen Ping and others gathered to discuss in the tent again, and An Sui went to the school to watch the cadre Mo Xie train the soldiers. Seeing that An was coming, the cadre Mo Xie and the others hurriedly stopped and got up to greet them.

"Lord Ann is here?"

"Look at you, are you all getting better?"

The cadre Mo Ye glanced at each other, "It's all better, this year's winter doesn't seem to be as cold as in the past, and this injury will heal faster." ”

An Sui also nodded, "It seems that this year is particularly warm, originally in this world, the north wind is blowing, and it is really cold." ”

One of the Mo Evil also agreed, "It seems that this is indeed the case, this year's north has not been blown anymore, it is really a strange thing, I heard that Qin Tianguan has been watching the celestial phenomena for a long time for this matter, and he didn't see anything, just said that he was okay." ”

At this time, a soldier ran over, "Lord An, the emperor announced that you are going to discuss the matter." ”

"Deliberations?" An Sui thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll come." ”

An Sui smiled apologetically at the cadre Mo Ye, and those clinths were also straight, and they all said, "If you have something to do, go quickly!" ”

An Sui nodded.

When An Sui entered the account, many generals were there, and the military simulation battle map was still in front of him, An Sui was a messenger, no matter how she said this kind of high-level military secret, she should not be called to discuss it, nor should she be asked to know. She looked at Ji Xuanyuan, and she really didn't understand his intentions.

Ji Xuanyuan instructed An Suiping to turn to Chen Ping, "General Chen, Lord An has also found a lot of news in Lou Lan's military camp these days, and it can be regarded as a chess piece that I have placed next to Murong Heng, she is also much more familiar with Lou Lan's situation than the generals here, if you have any questions, you might as well say it and ask Lord An to take a look." ”

The generals in the tent were a little hesitant, but Chen Ping opened his mouth first, "Lord An, that's the case, Lou Lan's army has been in confrontation with our Hanjin Pass for a long time before, and you know this matter very well, but after the day and night attack, Lou Lan's army seemed to disappear out of thin air, no matter how our spies probed, there was no sign of their army, the general suspected that they had withdrawn, but he was not sure, this Lou Lan's army was fine, why suddenly withdraw." This did not conform to Murong Heng's marching style. Could it be that there is a big chaos in the country? But if there is, there's no reason why we don't know! ”

An thought for a while, "I don't rule out this possibility, but I have been observing and thinking about this matter in the past few days, and I have a guess to tell you about it, if it is not appropriate, you will bring it up again." ”

Ji Xuanyuan gave An Sui a positive look, and An casually felt a little relieved, and then said slowly, "I have been observing the climate for the past few days, and I found that the climate in the north this year is very different from previous years, and now it is almost December, but there is no sign of the north wind." If the north wind forcibly changes direction, it usually provokes a plague of locusts. The siege of Hanjin Pass began in the middle of May in the summer, and it has been almost half a year now, and the lack of supply of grain and grass due to the locust plague in China or the cutting off of grain and grass supply and the mass death of livestock may be an explanation.

The other is because of discord within Lou Lan. But this possibility is relatively small, after Murong Heng seized the throne, he eliminated the royal people who disobeyed him, and the remaining royal people did not have the strength to let him return to the army.

The last possibility is because of the belief of the Loulan people, for the Loulan people, December is the fierce month, and the Tengli they worship died in December, so this month is for them to avoid traveling, sacrificing, and killing, but this custom was greatly weakened after Murong Heng ascended the throne, so it is difficult to say whether there is also this reason.

But Weichen thinks that it is most likely the first one, in addition to climatic reasons, because of the elongation of the grain and grass supply line, it has also increased many unstable factors along the way. What's more, Loulan itself is not an agricultural country, and the nomadic life has caused great restrictions for them to fight wars, especially not suitable for long-term and protracted wars, and in winter, Loulan's water source will also become a heavy restriction. By winter, most of the rivers in the north have dried up, a season that can be a severe blow to both agriculture and animal husbandry. ”

If the people in this tent had doubts and reservations about An Sui's ability before, they could only be convinced after hearing these words. They have been dealing with the Lou Lan people at the border for many years, and although they know some of their customs and habits, they have not yet seen the customs of Lou Lan transparently.

After hearing this, Chen Ping thought for a while before frowning and asking, "Then what does Lord An mean is that the retreat of Lou Lan's army this time is really and not deliberately avoiding the battle in order to seek other strategies?" ”

"The lowly position does not understand military tactics, so these are not in the consideration of the lowly position, and the lowly position can only give some relatively reasonable explanations for the sudden withdrawal of Lou Lan's army according to his own ideas, as for whether it is correct or not, the lowly position cannot be completely sure."

Ji Xuanyuan nodded, "It's true that you haven't been in contact with the military, but when you ask Lou Lan about the customs, you are asking the right person." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to take credit."

Ji Xuanyuan just smiled slightly, "Your credit for Hanjin Pass, I and all the soldiers know it very well in their hearts. Stand down! ”

An bowed and withdrew, but she became more and more puzzled in her heart, she was taken captive to the Loulan military camp, is it possible that she will be rewarded for her merits?
