The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but since the moment of the rebellion, Ren Qiu knew that he had only two ways to go: either he would become famous, or he would be reviled by thousands of people for 10,000 years. On the way back, both of them were silent, and Xu Yuan poked Ren Qiu with his elbow: "That assassin, what insight can he have?" Why should the general take his words to heart. "He's just a nineteen-year-old kid, and he's been implanted with such thoughts. I just think this is just the beginning, and the people behind it shouldn't be so simple. "What about the principal? Where is he? "General, the principal has nothing to do with the assassin on weekdays, and there is no direct evidence that he has anything to do with the assassination."

"It seems to be a random bite, general, this matter seems to be inseparable from the principals in the mansion." Ren Qiu nodded, "In this way, arrest all the principals in the mansion and interrogate them." Time has to be fast. The soldier was ordered to arrest someone, Ren Qiu looked at Xu Yuan with a wry smile: "Let's go, this day's farce has made you watch a lot of jokes." Xu Yuan followed him, returned to the mansion, lay down in his room, and took out his spear. Xu Yuan stroked the gun, but he didn't expect that fighting a battle was actually not that simple, and there were assassins who came to assassinate him, but fortunately, after so many years of hard work, it was finally not in vain.

In the room, Mrs. Wang had already changed her clothes, made tea, and was waiting for Ren Qiu to come back. "What are you going to do today, and you're coming back so late." "I was assassinated today, and I just went to interrogate the assassin." "Assassinated? What about you? She touched his arm with concern, but he gently put it down, "I'm fine, Xu Yuan also came today, as soon as he arrived in the city, something like this happened, I always feel that things are not so simple." Okay, I'm too tired to do it, I sleep. Mrs. Wang was still sitting on the chair, looking at the tea in front of her, and muttered to herself, "Then my child, why didn't he come back with him?" ”

As soon as the sun was bright, Xu Yuan got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and just wanted to go to the city tower to have a look. When he went out, he saw Mrs. Wang sitting in the pavilion not far from him, Xu Yuan scratched his head, so he had to go over and salute. "Junrui, why did you come back by yourself this time? What about the prince? Liqiu, how is Liqiu? "Liqiu and the prince escorted the baggage materials, and it will take a few days to arrive." "Liqiu has been following you for so long, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. "You don't have to worry, Liqiu is a family of generals, how can he be afraid of swords on the battlefield, besides, he is in the prince's personal guards, and he rarely goes to the battlefield to fight in person. "That's good, that's good, I'm relieved, I originally asked Ren Qiu, but the old guy didn't tell me. It's really infuriating, I'm just coming out and waiting for you to give me a letter. "You haven't slept all night?" "I can't sleep, I'm worried about my son, my heartless father let such a young child go to the battlefield. What do you see, look at me, I'm talking about you! Is Liqiu your godson, you treat him like this! He slammed the door and went to inspect the castle.

"Madam, you see that the general is gone, I have to leave quickly, don't worry, Liqiu is not injured." Xu Yuan stepped back as he spoke. People say that these two people should not care if they quarrel, and the more they manage, the more chaotic it becomes. He turned to keep up with any of the autumns, and did not forget to take the spear from the soldier's hand. "General, which city tower should we go to inspect first?" Ren Qiu stood at the door of the mansion and looked back and forth. "Southeast Gate."

While walking, Ren Qiu didn't say a word, or the sergeant on the side told Xu Yuan: This southeast gate is the closest gate to the enemy camp, and it is also the gate that has been harassed by the enemy the most and damaged the most in the past few days. Xu Yuan nodded while calculating the direction in his heart, he entered the city yesterday should be the northeast gate, then it seems that the battle situation at the southeast gate should be even more tragic. There were fewer and fewer dwellings along the way, and then there were only patches of ashes left on the road.

"The battle situation here is not like the city, but outside the city." Xu Yuandao. Ren Qiu took over the conversation: "King Qin's army only wants a quick victory, so when they arrived outside the city, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but wanted to kill all the residents of the nearby villages and cut off our food and grass." So most of the people you see outside the city are people who weren't involved in the war. The steps on the city tower were also damaged, Xu Yuan walked up to the city tower in a few steps, only to see that there were soldiers on the city tower he brought who were rushing to repair the city tower, seeing him come over and hurriedly stood up, Xu Yuan nodded and signaled him to leave himself alone.

Turning to the sergeant, he asked, "Do you know where the main force of King Qin's army is?" "General, the main force of King Qin's army is behind that mountain." Xu Yuan looked at the low mountain, "What is the name of this mountain?" "This mountain is called Wuhou Mountain." "Wuhou Mountain? Good name. How far is it from here? "It's about a day's journey." Looking down from the top of the city tower, he saw that the bones were piled up into a mountain, and Xu Yuan frowned. "Why are these bodies piled up here?" "There are enemy troops and our soldiers here, and we really don't know what to do." "In this cold winter, when the moon freezes, they will be harder than stones, and when the enemy army crawls on their corpses, then you ask what is good?" "My subordinates understood, so I went to find something and burned these."

After changing into civilian clothes, Xu Yuan took his lieutenant general in the city to inspect whether there were any fine works in the city, but saw an old woman sitting at the door of the governor's yamen crying: "My son is only seventeen years old, and he will die in your barracks." I worked hard to pull him up, and he was gone, who do you say I am pointing to to support the elderly? You officials are powerful every day, who thinks that a bad old lady like me is! The old lady's words caused the grief of the other old women who had lost their son, and a group of old women wept at the gate of the yamen. Xu Yuan frowned: "Someone just assassinated yesterday, and today they came to cry, it's too much of a coincidence, right?" The adjutant nodded: "General, why don't we go and find out the truth?" ”

"It's better not to, people can see our identity at a glance." "Why?" "You see that in this city, the children of seventeen are being dragged into the army, and the two of us, young and strong, are wandering around the city. This is also too counterintuitive. "General, I'm fine, but you..." The deputy general pointed to his head, Xu Yuan took off his hat, and sure enough, he had white hair, if it was decorative, it would not be so difficult to pretend to be an old man. "Okay, then I'll go, you remember to pick me up."
