Yinxiang didn't dare to speak anymore, only lowered her head, she put all the residues in her coarse cloth skirt, and was about to get up, when she suddenly heard Xiao Heng sigh, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Heng, seeing Xiao Heng's sad face, the little maid hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Childe, are you...... Are you unhappy in anything? ”

Xiao Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Yinxiang, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I came here this time to discuss something with Chu Du." Seeing you today, I plan to go back to Beishan earlier, and then prepare to ask someone to come over and propose ...... to Chu Du! ”

Yinxiang was nervous in shame: "Childe, you ...... Do you propose to the master? ”

"I, Xiao Heng, always speak and do things neatly." Xiao Heng said: "Since I want to marry you, no matter how difficult it is, I don't care." I want to carry a sedan chair eight times, and welcome you through the door ...... scenery! Then he looked anxious: "But Shuoquan's affairs can't be done, but I can't leave, this ...... What can I do? ”

Yinxiang hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Xiao ...... Xiao Gongzi, is there a big deal for you to find the master? Master...... The lord is now discussing important matters with several officials, and they ...... They seem to be arguing about you...... Your affairs in Beishan ......! ”

The corners of Xiao Heng's eyes jumped, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "Chu Du is talking about Beishan?" ”

Yinxiang nodded and said, "Those officials are still quarreling because of the Beishan matter...... ”

"Oh?" Xiao Heng's heart tightened, but he asked with interest: "The matter of Beishan, they quarreled?" Why is that? ”

"I'm ......!" Yinxiang hesitated for a moment before lowering her head and said, "I don't know, Xiao Gongzi, you wait a while, slave maid...... The slave and maid retired first. The little maid hurriedly walked out, Xiao Heng had already gotten up, followed a few steps behind, the little maid walked to the door, looked back, her face was flushed, and seeing that Xiao Heng was also looking at herself, she hurriedly turned her head and walked away.

"Yinxiang, I'm ...... at Xinglong Inn!" Xiao Heng chased to the door, but saw that Yinxiang's figure had already run through the corridor and turned to another corridor.

A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Heng's mouth, and then his brows furrowed, he took out a red handkerchief from his arms, walked slowly to the house, carefully held the red handkerchief in his hand, entered the house, sniffed with his nose, looked intoxicated, and whispered to himself: "It's been so long, and there is still a lingering fragrance...... How soft is your body...... Other women, how can I see in my eyes, only you, only you, day and night in my heart...... Do you know that I want to hold you in my arms and press you under me day and night, and I want to kiss you...... Kiss your ......! He stroked the red handkerchief, as if he was caressing the woman's skin, a small handkerchief, it seemed to make him fall asleep in an instant, at this time, but he had faintly heard a quarrel coming, the sound seemed to be nothing, but the courtyard was very quiet, Xiao Heng had already heard it, hurriedly put the red handkerchief away carefully, listened attentively, the sound seemed to come from nearby.

Xiao Heng's eyes rolled, and then he went out, looked around, and made sure that there was no one, so he touched it softly and lightly, Xiao Heng inquired, although the area of the Xiguan Governor's Mansion is huge, but there are not many people in the mansion, and if they are other governors, their families and servants are added together, which one is not hundreds of people, but only this Xiguan Governor's Mansion, it is said that the upper and lower levels are only a few dozen people.

A huge mansion, the courtyard is scattered, there are many houses, the corridor is tortuous, and those who are not familiar with the environment can even get lost in the house.

Turning around a corridor, the sound of the quarrel came more and more clearly, walked to the outside of a courtyard wall, Xiao Heng had already heard the sound coming from the courtyard, he went around to the direction of the main gate, saw that there were soldiers guarding the courtyard gate, did not dare to approach, hesitated, went around to the back of the courtyard, saw that there was no one around, rolled up his sleeves, climbed up the courtyard wall, this is the inner wall of the house, so it is not high, Xiao Heng's skills are also neat, turned into the courtyard, and heard clearly, the sound of the quarrel came from a house with closed doors and windows.

The people in the house obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to climb over the wall in the Governor's Palace, so the sound of the quarrel was inevitably unscrupulous, Xiao Heng saw that there was a row of flower beds behind the house, and he had already hid in the middle of the flower beds, leaning against the root of the wall, and listened with bated breath.

He was a little surprised, how could there be a quarrel when the Governor's Mansion was discussing important matters, and according to Yinxiang, it seemed that it was still for the affairs of Beishan.

"Chu Du, even if we don't mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jinhe Erzhou, the troops in our hands will not be inferior to Beishan." A rough voice said: "Xiao Huanzhang wants to take advantage of people's danger, if we don't give him some color, he still thinks that we are easy to bully, and we will definitely gain an inch in the future." ”

Xiao Heng's heart sank.

"Chu Du, by all means." A voice persuaded: "Although Xiao Huanzhang Chen soldiers are at the border, but after all, they have not stepped into our Xiguan territory, they are all members of the official family, if we use troops against Beishan, how can we explain it to the imperial court?" ”

"It's not that I don't come, but I don't dare." The rough voice immediately retorted: "If our expedition to Jinhe fails, do you dare to say that Xiao Huanzhang will not take advantage of the situation?" At that time, did you think the imperial court would have the spare power to manage him? Xiao Huanzhang knew that the imperial court was unable to meddle in the affairs of the northwest, so he had such wolf ambitions...... Now that we have won, we naturally can't let him go. ”

"Not bad!" Another voice said: "Chu Du, Xiao Huanzhang is unkind and unjust, and he stabbed him in the back, we must not let it go." General Xuanyuan is in Koshu, so let's secretly mobilize our troops...... Didn't you say that Xiao Huanzhang's nephew had already come to Shuoquan? Let's lay out to confuse him, deliberately show favor to him, so that he is less guarded, and when he goes back, Xiao Huanzhang thinks that we will not take action, and will inevitably be slack, let's concentrate our forces again, take Qingzhou first, and then go straight to Xinzhou, and arrest Xiao Huanzhang's dog off-the-beaten-......! ”

Xiao Heng, who was hiding under the wall, was frightened, and a cold sweat was already on his back, secretly thinking that today's risk was really worth it, otherwise it would never have been possible to know that Xiguan had prepared such an insidious plan.

"Even if the imperial court has nothing to do, so what? Let's rush to send troops, the division is nameless, how can this battle be fought? ”

"Who said that the teacher is unknown?" Someone sneered: "Isn't Xiao Huanzhang's Beishan Army on our border?" That's easy to do, send people to disguise themselves as a small group of Beishan troops, loot one or two villages, as long as even one person is killed or injured, we have an excuse to send troops to attack Beishan. ”

Xiao Heng couldn't help but scold "despicable" in his heart, secretly thinking that Chu Huan was surrounded by such a group of insidious and cunning people, in order to attack the Beishan Division to become famous, he even had to use the despicable means of planting blame, but at this time, he forgot that he was doing things for Xiao Huanzhang, and the means of planting blame were also perfect.

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard, "That's a good idea!" ”

Although Xiao Heng had only seen Chu Huan once, he was a very observant person, knowing Chu Huan's status in the northwest, he had carefully observed Chu Huan's demeanor and expression at that time, and he still remembered Chu Huan's voice.

He immediately judged that it was definitely Chu Huan who said this.

It's just that this sentence made Xiao Heng's heart skip a beat, listening to Chu Huan's meaning, but it was a good idea to praise the method of framing him, does that mean that Chu Huan actually has plans to attack Beishan.

Xiao Heng is very clear, although the three northwest provinces are still the territory of the empire, but what really wants to happen in the northwest, half a year ago, the empire may still have the strength to intervene in it, but now the party dispute between the DPRK and China, and the outside of the court has to deal with the Qingtian King and Tianmen Dao, His Majesty the Emperor's infatuation with the Tao has not been alleviated, and the imperial court has no ability to actually intervene in the affairs of the northwest.

If Xiguan really wants to send troops to attack Beishan, it will undoubtedly be bad news for Beishan.

He was glad that when he heard such a major secret from Xiguan, he was even more worried about what Xiguan planned next, held his breath, and only heard that one of them had already said: "This plan is very good, as long as there are dead and injured people, we can say that Xiao Huanzhang sent troops to invade the territory of Xiguan, he Chen soldiers are on the border, ambitious, and have the intention of rebellion, when the time comes, it will be like dealing with Jinhe Erzhou, let's go and behead Xiao Huanzhang's thief under the knife, by the way, his family should not let go, well, didn't Xiao Huanzhang's nephew come over this time?" Chu Du, do you want to cut off that kid's head first? ”

Xiao Heng's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body was cold, he knew that this trip to Shuoquan was very dangerous, but he still had luck in his heart, he only felt that Chu Huan was not a foolish person, and he should not easily kill the officials of the imperial court, although he was only an official of the Beishan Ministry of Officials, but he was also an official.

"Kill him, how to confuse Xiao Huanzhang?" Someone immediately objected: "This person can't be killed for the time being, let's use him to let Xiao Huanzhang relax his guard, and wait until we break through Xinzhou and catch Xiao Huanzhang, and then it's not too late to cut off that kid's head together." ”

"That's a good point." Another humane: "It's just that we really want to send troops to attack Beishan, with our strength, can we really win?" Don't forget, Beishan has never been occupied by the Xiliang people, and the materials are not scarce, at least the food is much more abundant than ours. ”

"I don't think it's a big deal." A rough voice said: "Although Xiao Huanzhang has also expanded the army, there are a lot of soldiers and horses, but those soldiers under him are only local troops, we have the Pingxi Army in our hands, and many of the Pingxi Army are the Praetorian Guards and state troops of Xiguan before, and even some of the soldiers who originally belonged to the Northwest Army, these people are all survived by the bloody battle with the Xiliang people. As long as it is fought, the Beishan Army will inevitably fall into the water. Speaking of food, what you said is right, we do not have as much food as theirs, but it doesn't matter, without food, we will have it when we reach Beishan. ”

A clear voice said: "That's right, let's suddenly attack, the people of Beishan are defenseless at all, the first to take Qingzhou, there are a lot of gentry and wealthy families in Qingzhou, they have grain in stock, and when we take Qingzhou, they have not come to their senses, they have not evacuated at all, and the food in Qingzhou will be enough to supply our army!" ”

Xiao Heng clenched his fists, his face turned pale, and he thought to himself: "You are really insidious and vicious, God has eyes, fortunately I heard it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." "It's a great luck, I think it's very dangerous to stay at the root of this wall, if someone finds out, Chu Huan sees that he has overheard a major military situation, he will inevitably kill people, and he wants to leave secretly, but he wants to know what kind of result they discussed, he hesitated again and again, and he still had some courage, quietly, and eavesdropped with bated breath.
