Chapter 016: The Mystery of Reinforcements
"And what are you running away from?"
Yuan Minzhou never thought that one day he would be forced to be asked by a little girl to the point of being speechless.
He always thought that Xie Fenghua sacrificed for the country, although the ending was tragic, but it was also the fate of a whole soldier. But suddenly someone told him that her death was not so simple.
He was suddenly overwhelmed.
Almost subconsciously resisted this possibility, but with a pair of clear mirror-like eyes of the woman in front of him, that resistance seemed to have nowhere to escape.
He rubbed his eyebrows and replied resignedly, "I'm not trying to run away from anything. It's a reluctance to believe the possibility you're talking about. I'd rather believe that she died a well-deserved sacrifice for her country than that she died in a plot of intrigue. Do you understand that? ”
"What if she really died in a machination?" Xie Fenghua pressed forward step by step, as if he was looking for an answer.
Yuan Minzhou suddenly lowered his head, his face with the light on his back was obscure, and a trace of struggle was faintly visible.
He seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and seemed to be convincing himself, and only said after a while: "If this is the case, even if I turn the court upside down, I will find out and reveal the truth to her!" ”
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "The premise is that what you say is well-founded and not fabricated out of thin air. ”
Xie Fenghua looked at him quietly, his eyes were firm, his expression was cold, and he was not afraid of these words.
Several times, Yuan Minzhou wondered if that peerless woman had such a look on her face when she was marching and arranging the formation?
It seems that when he encounters something related to that person, he has no ability to refuse, and although he doesn't know the cause and effect at the moment, he still can't control the doubts in his heart, and his tone is a little frustrated.
He said, "I don't know what happened to your sister. But things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and you can't just blame them for a reason. What's more, at that time, the imperial court had already sent 50,000 reinforcements, and then I brought 30,000, if it ......"
"What do you say? The imperial court sent reinforcements? And fifty thousand? Xie Fenghua stood up vigorously, but she didn't want to bump into Yuan Minzhou's forehead, she only felt dazzled and tinnitus, and asked again uncertainly.
Yuan Minzhou rubbed the forehead that was bumped by her, and although he was a little surprised why she had such a violent reaction, he still nodded and replied, "It's true." As soon as your sister wrote to ask for reinforcements, the emperor issued an order. ”
Xie Fenghua's heart was shocked, his body staggered, and he stepped back. Her face also became ugly, as if she had thought of something, and continued to ask, "Do you know that I ...... Can my sister continue to write to ask for reinforcements? ”
Yuan Minzhou shook his head, "The documents I saw in the court were just that time." ”
It turned out to be so!
Xie Fenghua sat back in his chair suddenly, and an overwhelming anger ensued. At this moment, it seemed that the blood in his body was boiling, silently shouting for the unwillingness and deception of those who were mocked.
Her fingers curled up slightly, and she couldn't stop trembling.
She thought about countless possibilities, but she couldn't figure out why the imperial court didn't send troops until she died!
But I didn't expect that this would be the result.
It turned out that it was not that there were no reinforcements, but that the reinforcements did not arrive at the front. And she sent no less than ten urgent military reports in a row, but in the end, only one was submitted to the royal case.
Who dares to do anything about military aircraft?
Yuan Minzhou stared at her in confusion, Xu saw something, and couldn't help but ask: "Xie family girl, why did you react like this?" No, what's worth digging into here? ”
The man's deep and mellow voice sounded in his ears, and Xie Fenghua slowly came back to his senses, but he was struggling in his heart.
She couldn't say anything about the 50,000 reinforcements that hadn't arrived at the front, but she couldn't help but say it. If you really want to find out, the only person who can help her seems to be the only one left in front of her.
But what did she say?
Seeing that the doubts in Yuan Minzhou's eyes were gathering more and more, Xie Fenghua thought for a while, and then asked, "Is it true that the Hou Ye said that the imperial court has sent troops to reinforce it?" ”
"Why should I lie to you?" Yuan Minzhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he was questioned by her again and again, and he was also angry, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the second master of your Xie Mansion." Don't forget, he is a squire of the military department, and he knows best whether the court has issued an order. ”
Xie Fenghua suddenly brightened, and hurriedly arched his hand at him, and said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Hou for reminding me." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry like the wind under his feet, and he didn't even have time to close the door.
Yuan Minzhou looked at the empty doorway, remembered the abnormality of that person, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Just as Changying came in to restore his life, he thought about it for a while, and still said: "You go and check, what are the identities of those two people just now, and what are they plotting." If you can, follow the vine and find out who is behind it. ”
Changying was a little surprised, and said puzzledly: "Master Hou, are you planning to help Miss Xie Er?" ”
"You can say the same thing." Yuan Minzhou's fingers tapped on the tabletop one by one, and his face showed a touch of coldness and solemnity, "This matter may not be so simple, taking precautions is the best policy." ”
"Yes. Subordinates obeyed. ”
