Qi Ning felt that Han Yu was a little weird, and at this time, seeing him spitting and spitting, he frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xuanyuan Po was originally an observant person, he had long noticed that Han Yu and Mo Wenrui's expressions were a little abnormal, and he guessed that the matter was likely to be related to him, but he was a person from the Shenhou Mansion, and it was inconvenient to participate in such a major military situation, although he was present, he was not good at talking.

Han Yu and Mo Wenrui glanced at each other, and finally said, "Guogong, early this morning, Lord Mo received something here. ”

Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po couldn't help but move their eyes to Mo Wenrui, who had already gotten up and arched his hand: "Early this morning, a car passed in front of the yamen, and an object fell from the car. The soldier was surprised, went up to check, and found that the package also carried a letter on the outside, which was handed over to the Ximen Shenhou of the Shenhou Mansion. ”

Xuanyuan was slightly shocked, but remained silent and asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

Mo Wentui hurriedly said: "Xiaguan..... Xiaguan found General Han Lang and discussed whether this letter should be sent to the capital, but he hesitated and had not yet decided, Captain Xuanyuan happened to arrive today, and this letter was naturally handed over to you. Guogong, Captain Xuanyuan will wait a while, and the next official will go to get it. He quickly stepped back.

"In addition to the letters, there are packages, and what's in them?" Xuanyuan Po asked.

Han Yu's brows furrowed, he groaned slightly, and finally said, "It's a human head!" ”

"Head?" Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po were both taken aback, Xuanyuan Po seemed to realize something, got up suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "Whose head is it?" ”

"The first level is drenched in blood, and ..... Tattoos are stabbed on both cheeks. Han Yu wanted to speak and stopped, but Xuanyuan Po had already said in a deep voice: "General Han Lang, whose head is it, don't swallow it!" ”

"The humble general doesn't know who the head is, but the face of the head is tattooed with the word Lu Cun." Han Yu is the way after all.

Xuanyuan Po's face changed greatly, his body shook slightly, his hands were all clenched, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze for a while.

Lu Cun!

Of course, Qi Ning knew the meaning of these two words, the Big Dipper, Lu Cun was the fourth, and Qi Ning had already learned from Xuanyuan's mouth that the Shenhou Mansion had already sent Captain Lu Cun to lurk in Eastern Qi.

The word Lu Cun was engraved on the cheek of that head, could it be that Captain Lu Cun was killed?

"General Han Lang, can you take the head?" Although Xuanyuan Po was shocked to hear the bad news, he still tried his best to stabilize his mind, before he learned that Ximen Wuxian died in the Snow Mountain, his heart was already extremely sad, but this time he was shocked to hear the bad news of Captain Lu Cun, he was really hit again, but after all, he was not a general, and he still kept calm.

Han Yu got up and arched his hand, and also retreated.

Qi Ning could understand Xuanyuan's state of mind under his eyes, and comforted: "It may not be him." ”

Xuanyuan Po sat down slowly, just nodded slightly, but did not speak.

After a while, I saw Mo Wenchui and Han Yu enter the hall one after the other, Mo Wenchui was holding a letter in his hand, but Han Yu was holding a box, wrapped in black cloth outside, and entered the hall, Han Yu held the box in both hands and carefully placed it on the table, Mo Wenchui sent the letter to Xuanyuan Po, Xuanyuan Po stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that the letter was written on the outside, "Ximen Shenhou Wuxian personally opened", his face suddenly turned cold, and he didn't talk nonsense, opened the envelope and took out the letterhead.

This is a letter to Ximen Wuxian, but Xuanyuan Po opened it directly, Mo Wenrui didn't know that Ximen Wuxian had passed away, and he only felt that it seemed inappropriate for Xuanyuan Po to do this, but Xuanyuan Po was a disciple of Shenhou Mansion after all, but he didn't dare to say more.

Qi Ning saw Xuanyuan Po glance a few times, and the hand holding the letterhead was obviously trembling slightly, and then saw Xuanyuan Po turn his head and look at the box on the table.

The head was sent in a package, and Mo Wenrui received the head here, so naturally people immediately found the box and put the head in.

"Captain Xuanyuan .....!" Qi Ning observed his words and knew that things were not good.

Xuanyuan Po turned his head, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but more of it was sadness and indignation, he handed over the letterhead, Qi Ning took it, only to see the scribbled handwriting on the letterhead, but he could still make it clear: "Shenhou Qinjian: Your country is treacherous, needless to say, the two countries have fought each other, and the battlefield is low, but you have resorted to such ghost tricks, carried out assassinations, and humiliated your name. "The payment is none other than Shen Tuluo.

Xuanyuan Po had already stood up, walked to the table, opened the box, just looked at it quietly, then closed it, turned to Mo Wenzhui and said: "Master Mo, the head of the fourth junior brother, keep it here for the time being, I will naturally bring it with me when I return to Beijing, if I can't return to Beijing, you will send someone to send me and the head of the fourth junior brother back to the Shenhou Mansion together." ”

His voice was calm, but of course the few people present had already heard the deep meaning.

Captain Lu Cun was killed, and Xuanyuan Po was obviously determined to avenge Captain Lu Cun, either to kill Shen Tuluo, or to throw his life here, that was already an iron heart.

Mo Wentui immediately said: "Captain Xuanyuan rest assured, the lower officials will take good care of it." ”

Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po came to Huaishui this time, originally preparing to plan the assassination of Shen Tuluo, but Captain Lu Cun obviously took the lead in formulating the assassination plan and put it into action, but the result was obviously a failure, not only failed to assassinate Shen Tuluo, but lost his life.

Captain Lu Cun naturally saw that Huaishui was cut off and the Qinhuai Legion had no logistics, so he took a risk.

Qi Ning believed that since Captain Lu Cun had made a move, he would inevitably be carefully deployed, but the road was one foot high and the demon was one foot high, and Shen Tuluo was obviously prepared for it, and Captain Lu Cun's plan of action was likely to fall into Shen Tuluo's trap.

"The carriage dropped the head of Captain Lu Cun, and its whereabouts are unknown." Han Yu said in a deep voice: "The humble general asked about the appearance of the carriage, and then sent people to search in the city, but they didn't see it. ”

"They're not going to let you find it." Qi Ning's face suddenly became solemn: "They thought they were using this trick to intimidate the Shenhou Mansion, but they made a fatal mistake. ”

Several people looked at Qi Ning, Qi Ning's face was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent: "The four gates of Huize City are blocked, you can go out and you can't enter, and the guards are strict, but they sent the head, and the people who have already exposed Shen Tuluo have infiltrated the city." ”

"Not bad." Han Yu's body shook: "There are spies in the city. ”

Qi Ning said: "I only have one thing to worry about now. ”

Xuanyuan's eyes were like knives, and he said in a low voice: "Guogong is worried..... Granary? ”

"Not bad." Qi Ning said: "Huize City is a heavy place for grain storage, and the grain and grass supplied to the front line are hoarded here, and once it is lost, the consequences are unimaginable. Shen Tuluo did not have the ability to fly to the heavens and the earth, even if he knew that there was a large amount of grain and grass in the city of Huizawa, he could not loot it, and since he could not get it, it was very likely that he would send people down the mountain in the city. ”

Han Yu and Mo Wenrui glanced at each other, and cold sweat broke out in their vests.

These two people shoulder the responsibility of protecting the grain, once the grain and grass in the city are lost, the first to bear the blame are the two of them, even if it is Da Luo Jinxian can not save the lives of the two of them, the two of them have not realized the seriousness of the problem before, they only feel that Huize City is already heavily guarded, and several granaries have been heavily guarded, which can be regarded as foolproof, but at this moment, as soon as Qi Ning reminded him, he felt that the situation was serious, and Han Yu immediately said: "The humble general will immediately send more people to the granary." ”

Qi Ning groaned slightly and asked, "How many granaries are there in the city?" ”

"There are five of them." Mo Wentui had already taken out a map from his sleeve and spread it on the table, Qi Ning walked over and saw that this was a map of the layout of Huize City, the streets and alleys in Huize City were all over it, and there were several circles drawn on it, Mo Wentui pointed to those circles and said: "Five granaries, concentrated in three places, two in the east of the city, and one in the south of the city, the largest of which is in the south of the city, half of the grain is hoarded here, and there are more than 200 officers and soldiers guarding here." ”

Qi Ning turned his head and glanced out of the door, and then said, "Since those people can sneak into Huize City, it is possible to sneak into the granary. These grains were raised by the imperial court with great effort, and once they were lost, even if the grain route was opened, there would be no grain to continue to supply to the front. The tens of thousands of troops of the Qinhuai Legion may still be able to collect grain on the spot to support it for a while, but this is not a long-term solution, and in the end, it will depend on us to open up the grain road to send the grain over. With a solemn expression, he said: "There must be no problems with the grain here, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Xuanyuan said in a deep voice: "Shen Tuluo, this is a trick to attack the west. He sent a letter and the head of the fourth junior disciple, so that you do not have the heart to take care of the granary, but to put your mind on this matter. ”

"Quite possibly." Qi Ning sneered: "But this time Shen Tuluo is pretending to be smart, he wants to attack the west, but instead he exposes their whereabouts. ”

"As long as they send heavy troops to guard the granary, they will not dare to act rashly." Han Yu clenched his fists and said: "Even if Shen Tuluo really sends people to infiltrate the city, the number will never be too many, even if they have the idea of attacking the granary, they can only sneak in, and the inferior general will arrange people to guard the granary so that not a single fly can fly in." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "If you make a big move to mobilize troops and horses, it will only alert those people and know that you have taken precautions, and they will not act rashly." As the saying goes, if they are not afraid of thieves stealing, they are afraid of thieves, if they are just lurking in the city but do not do it for a long time, it will be more trouble, if they do not get rid of this group of people for a day, the granary will be in danger all the time, so ....... After glancing at a few people, he whispered: "Let's set a trap, wait for the rabbits, and catch them all!" ”

"Guogong, what do you mean?"

"Catch a turtle in an urn." Qi Ning sneered: "Since they have the idea of fighting the granary, let's give them a chance, instead of making a big move to mobilize troops and horses, we want to leave them with flaws and let them break into the trap by themselves!" ”
