Since taking over Meng Zhixiang's task of cleaning up the eyes of the military intelligence department and maintaining the internal stability of Yizhou, Su Yuan has not slept well in the past two days, and the cunning of the military intelligence department has greatly exceeded his expectations, and the more he investigates in the past two days, the more frightened he feels.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the infiltration of Yizhou officials by the Military Intelligence Department as pervasive, almost three or four out of ten Yizhou officials are connected with the Military Intelligence Department, but what really shocked Su Yuan was the slippery hand of the Military Intelligence Department.

Nearly half of the officials in Yizhou seem to be connected with the MIA, but Su Yuan can't catch the people from the MIA, which is like obviously the streets are full of thieves, but when you go to arrest people, you find that no one is a thief, which seems to be a contradiction, but it makes people tremble when you think about it.

The situation was so tricky that Su Yuan had to report to Meng Zhixiang, but to Su Yuan's surprise, Meng Zhixiang was no longer in the mansion, and it was also because Su Yuan was deeply valued by Meng Zhixiang and had an unusual identity, so he was told that Meng Zhixiang had left Chengdu.

Coming out of the political hall, Su Yuan was full of worries, the rampant and difficult to catch the activities of the Military Intelligence Department, and Meng Zhixiang's quiet departure from Chengdu made him feel a heavy pressure.

At present, how to deal with the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department has become a heavy task that Su Yuan has to bear alone. Because of his contemplation, Su Yuan was a little distracted, and not far from the political hall, he almost bumped into someone.

Hearing two coquettish voices, Su Yuan looked up in amazement, and saw several gorgeously dressed women in front of him, looking at him strangely, a little maid should be the object of his almost bumped into, patting her immature chest at this time, with a look of shock and anger, "You, don't you look at the road when you walk?" ”

Su Yuan smiled and said: "I looked at the road below, but I didn't see the little lady." There are many abruptness, forgiveness and forgiveness. ”

The maid couldn't help but be even more annoyed when she saw that Su Yuan was quibbling, "You are still reasonable, just looking at the road and not looking at people?" ”

Su Yuan smiled: "If you look at people, how can you look at the road?" ”

"You" The little maid was so angry that she turned around and stomped her feet to a woman who was the most gorgeously dressed among the few people: "Little lady, look at him!" ”

This woman is over twenty-eight years old, born with exquisite facial features, a slender figure, and full of the vitality of a young girl, which is unforgettable.

Su Yuan didn't see this woman until this time, and hurriedly bowed, "I've seen the little lady." ”

This little lady is Meng Zhixiang's second daughter, named Meng Yanyi.

"Sir, please come with me." Meng Yanyi said a word concisely, and walked in front of Su Yuan.

Su Yuan hesitated slightly, he was busy with official business, and he hurried back to check the matter of the military intelligence department's eyeliner, and Fang Cai didn't cause any actual harm to the hair, so he deliberately ignored the little lady's big temper.

"What? Mr. was rude first, don't you even have the courage to apologize? Meng Yanyi noticed that Su Yuan didn't follow, and said with a light look when he turned around.

Su Yuan had no choice but to follow.

After a while, when he arrived at the courtyard where Meng Yanyi lived, Meng Yanyi walked straight into the main hall, sat down in the main seat, and motioned for Su Yuan, who came to follow, to also sit down, and then ordered tea.

The other party didn't mean to ask for guilt, but treated each other politely, which made Su Yuan a little confused, and he didn't know what Meng Yanyi wanted, so he had to sit down hard, smelling the fragrant fragrance in the room, Su Yuan felt uncomfortable.

"Just now I saw that Mr. was worried and couldn't give up, but what is the difficulty?" When Su Yuan sat down, Meng Yanyi immediately asked.

Su Yuan didn't expect Meng Yanyi to say such a thing, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Fang Cai was abrupt and collided with the little lady."

"This is a trivial matter, Mr. Guoshi, why bother?" Meng Yanyi interrupted Su Yuan's words, and then said seriously: "I didn't invite Mr. to come here to talk about these things. ”

"What does the little lady have to say, but please advise." Su Yuan said busily.

"Now the war in Shuzhong continues, the imperial army is advancing all the way, I heard that Dongchuan is about to die, and my father has to go to the front line, when this time of crisis, although Yanyi is a daughter, I don't want to resign myself to fate in the boudoir, I only hope to be able to share a worry for my father and Xichuan." Meng Yanyi looked at Su Yuandao.

"The little lady has this thought, and it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows." Su Yuan gave up his hand again, seemingly respectful, but in fact, his words were not salty or light.

Meng Yanyi frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with Su Yuan's reaction, but she didn't say much, just said: "A few days ago, my father appointed Mr. to investigate the detailed work of the imperial court to come to Chengdu to plot against the officials in Xichuan, but now the matter is quite tricky?" ”

Su Yuan was surprised, "How did the little lady know?" ”

"Isn't that hard to think of?" Meng Yanyi asked rhetorically.

Su Yuan was speechless for a while. Indeed, he didn't belong to the government, and he just came out of the political hall in the marshal's mansion, naturally because his official duties were not smooth, and his most important official business at the moment was to check the military intelligence department.

It's just that how did Meng Yanyi learn that Meng Zhixiang had assigned him the task of investigating the Military Intelligence Department?

This is not difficult to speculate, because there are not many answers, and the biggest possibility is that Meng Zhixiang told you.

Why did Meng Zhixiang inform Meng Yanyi about this?

There will not be many reasons, the most likely is that Meng Yanyi's insight into the overall situation of political affairs makes Meng Zhixiang very recognized, and secondly, the relationship between father and daughter is very close, if it weren't for this, Meng Zhixiang would not talk to Meng Yanyi at this time.

So the question is, what does Meng Yanyi mean when he talks about this matter at this time?

Su Yuan couldn't think of an answer, so he could only hope that Meng Yanyi would tell him.

Meng Yanyi did not directly answer Su Yuan's question, but smiled and said, "I invited Mr. to come, naturally to share his worries." Mr. should not think that Yanyi is a little woman, and he can't solve his worries, right? ”

"Don't dare. The little lady thinks quickly, and she is grateful to be able to get the little lady to mention it. Su Yuan said speciously.

"Since the gentleman wants me to share his worries, shouldn't he tell me the details of the situation first? I'm afraid that even if Kong Ming is alive, he can't make suggestions without knowing the state of affairs. Meng Yanyi's smile became more intense, revealing two shallow dimples, looking a little naughty.

Su Yuan secretly smiled bitterly, Meng Yanyi just said a few words, and he had to explain the matter, which was really unexpected. Although helpless, the matter has come to this point, Su Yuan can only tell Meng Yanyi everything about the situation.

Meng Yan listened, tilted his head and thought about it, and laughed again, "What's so difficult about this, since the imperial court can't catch the eyeliner, it's okay if you don't catch it." ”

Although Su Yuan didn't expect Meng Yanyi to really solve the problem for him, he was still stunned when he heard such an answer.

Meng Yanyi said with a straight face: "Sir, why don't you want to think about it, if the imperial court is really in contact with the three or four officials in Yizhou, wouldn't this Chengdu have already become a pot of porridge and be in danger?" If this is the case, Xichuan does not need to send a large army to fight Dongchuan, and directly admits defeat and waits for death. ”

"What does the little lady mean is that the current situation that I found out earlier is just an illusion deliberately created by the imperial court?"

"It shouldn't be bad. The purpose of the imperial court is to make Yizhou chaotic! ”

"I see."

"My father handed over this errand to Mr., and the ultimate goal to be achieved is to seek stability in Yizhou, so as not to give birth to civil strife. So in my opinion, it's okay if this person is not caught! ”

Although Su Yuan felt reasonable, he still couldn't adopt this opinion.

Meng Yan insisted on Su Yuan, thought about it again, and suddenly said, "If Mr. really wants to arrest people, it is also simple. ”

"How easy?"

"Sir can play a play. First planted some people in the city to act as the eyeliner of the court, and then let people arrest them, and then announced to the outside world that the eyeliner of the court had been captured. In this way, it can calm the hearts of the people. If Mr. still wants to go further, he can release the news in a few days that these 'court eyeliners' have confessed to the list of officials connected with him. After that, if the husband only wants to stabilize Chengdu, he can use the name of his father to say that at this critical time, his father only hopes that Xichuan will tide over the difficulties, and as long as these people are loyal to Xichuan from now on, they will not be investigated; If the gentleman wants to take some officials to give him an errand, he can send someone to monitor the suspects, and those of them who have dealings with the imperial court will learn that the 'imperial court's eyeliner' has confessed to them, and someone will inevitably mess with them, and it will not be difficult for the gentleman to arrest them at that time. ”

Su Yuan was stunned there, savoring these measures, the key points of which made people amazed and impressed. He stood up and bowed to salute, "The little lady is really smart, with the little lady's plan, why can't you check the eyeliner of the court?" Thank you here! ”

Meng Yanyi received this thanks, but he was not very proud, but sighed innocently, "It seems that Mr. is planning to choose the last path." ”

What Su Yuan said was to investigate the eyes of the imperial court, so he naturally wanted to choose the last way, not only to choose the last road, but also to go further on this road, and torture the location of the military intelligence department from the mouths of the captured officials.

Su Yuan did not deny that although this did not meet Meng Yanyi's expectations, he had to choose this way. The two have different identities, different positions, different angles of looking at problems, different restrictions and desired effects of each, and their choices will inevitably be different.

Fortunately, Meng Yanyi seemed to be very considerate of Su Yuan, and had no intention of bargaining with him on this issue, so he asked another question instead. When he asked this question, Meng Yanyi's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "Mr. has been in Luoyang for a long time, and he knows a lot about the situation in the imperial court, so he can be said to know himself and his opponent, please tell me honestly, what are the chances of winning this time when my father goes to Dongchuan to fight against the imperial court?" Or, in this battle of Shuzhong, what are the chances of Xichuan winning? ”

This question is not difficult to answer, at least for Su Yuan, he said: "The marshal personally conquers Dongchuan, and he will be victorious, and in this battle of Shuzhong, the final victory will definitely be Xichuan!" ”

Although this answer looked gratifying, it was not what Meng Yan wanted, but after she asked this question, she seemed to expect Su Yuan to answer like this, and she was not discouraged at this time, and said, "It seems that I have to ask in a different way." Sir, you might as well tell me, how many soldiers and horses the imperial army has, which armies are composed of, what kind of armament is it, what kind of person is the commander Li Congjing, what is the atmosphere of the Luoyang court, and what kind of person is Li Siyuan? ”

After asking, without waiting for Su Yuan to answer, she added solemnly: "Sir, it is better to be more detailed, I helped Mr. solve a big trouble before, and now I don't ask Mr. to answer my question again, but Mr. at least has to tell the truth, so that I can make accurate judgments!" ”

Su Yuan didn't tell the truth in the end, he said six or seven points, and three or four points were to grow his own prestige and destroy the morale of others, so as to ensure that the final result of the comparison between the enemy and me was that Xichuan could win.

Meng Yanyi frowned, put on a good-looking face, pondered for a while, and finally stood up and sent Su Yuan out.

After Su Yuan left, Meng Yanyi called the personal maid, "You go and prepare, I will go to Dongchuan in half a day." ”

"What is the little lady going to Dongchuan for? That's the place of war! The little maid jumped up in surprise.

Meng Yanyi's bright eyes flickered, "Su Yuan's words can only be believed for seven points at most, so looking at it, this victory is unpredictable, my father went to Xuanwu County, it can be described as dangerous, I must go to help!" ”

"There are tens of thousands of troops ahead, there are many generals, gentlemen, and marshals, if this can't be won, what's the use of the little lady going?" The maid didn't ask this, because she knew the consequences of saying it.
