"The 2nd Independent Division is in good condition, and now it is secretly hidden in the mouth of the sheep and horses, and it has complied with your orders, except for retaining a brigade of troops stationed at Guanshang, no one else is allowed to leave the camp to prevent leakage of the situation." Situ Qingqing glanced at his lover a little strangely, this question has been asked for the second time today, it seems that his lover is indeed a little absent-minded.

The 2nd Independent Division has been holding back in the Partridge Pass for a long time, and since the war in the western part of the country, Qin Dubian ordered the troops to enter the highest state of combat readiness, especially the 2nd Independent Division in the front line, which is even more in full array, and as long as Qin Dui gives an order, it can pounce on the Partridge Pass dozens of miles away according to the plan that has been practiced many times.

Not to mention that they have been waiting for it, Qin Dui himself has already been eager to try, but without the order of the imperial court, Qin Dui is unwilling to take the charge of raising troops without permission to gamble on this, it is better to wait a little longer, I believe that it will not be long before his side will get a real order, Qin Dui, who was looking at the night sky outside the window, thought, but he did not expect that the imperial court's vigilance against him had reached such a deep level, even if he was facing many crises, he still did not take into account the plan to let his troops enter the Guanxi to quell the chaos.

The girl calmly sat in the main hall and listened to the report of her captain of the guard, while fiddling with the jacquard silk embroidered fan in her hand. This is a tribute from Gusu Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, the workmanship is fine, the embroidery is ingenious, especially the two birds on the fan surface are vivid and lifelike, very exquisite.

Although the late autumn in the northwest is already cool, it is an item left by his mother before leaving. She still cherishes it very much, at least in the far northwest, without relatives. It brings back memories of family back home.

The news from the empire is very bad, the Kansai rebel party has swarmed, and it has spread all over the five prefectures of the six prefectures of Kansai, it seems that only Lujiang Prefecture is slightly better, as for the other five prefectures, they are either completely fallen or are in chaos, and continue like this. I'm afraid it won't be long before Kansai County will be returned to someone else.

And I heard that the two counties of Beiyuan and Yanyun are also sparkling, but the empire doesn't seem to have made any strong reaction until now, thinking of this. The girl couldn't help but be a little dazed, is the empire really going to sink like this?

Why didn't my father deal with it? Is there anything to hesitate about? A feeling of indignation arose in the girl's heart. The urgent information that could come from the imperial capital was to know Qin Duan's whereabouts, especially the movement of the army. Thinking of this, the corners of the girl's mouth showed a disappointed and self-deprecating smile.

Father and Shousuke-sama can't help but think too highly of themselves. I have been in the northwest for more than a month. But in the past thirty days, I have only seen my so-called fiancé in front of him a few times, and most of them are on those high-sounding occasions, either visiting the factory market, or inspecting the grassroots villages, or participating in various banquets that I don't know, and it seems that there has never been a time when I can really avoid outsiders, and it seems that this festival, known as the king of the northwest, makes the lord also quite wary of himself, the royal fiancée princess.

Before, he was still reserved. Maintain a haughty demeanor, hoping that he can take the initiative to find himself. She was far more conceited than the women around him, both in appearance and blood, but she was soon disappointed, and the fiancé didn't seem to take himself seriously at all, and apart from a few routine outings, he had little more attention to himself.

When he asked for his identity to visit, it was difficult to find the trace of this fiancé, and the Jiedu envoy's mansion seemed to have become an ornament, and he didn't even run into him several times, and asked about the whereabouts of the guards, but they all told themselves without exception, that the whereabouts of the Jiedu envoy were confidential, and the subordinates had no way of knowing.

It's been a month in a flash, and he has a heavy responsibility, but he has no clue, and wherever he goes, he is greeted with politeness and respect, but behind it is a trace of intentional or unintentional vigilance, which makes the girl feel extremely discouraged, and even almost gives up her task.

But the urgent letter from the imperial capital forced him to cheer up, but fortunately, the identity of the fiancée of the princess of the empire and the envoy of the festival still has a certain effect, at least the entry and exit of many important places will not be subject to too many restrictions, and the guy under his command, who is clearly the captain of the guard but is actually his mission assistant, is quite shrewd, and after a few days of investigation, he has always learned some useful clues.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I really can't know the specific whereabouts of Lord Li at the moment, but it is understood that Lord Qin has not appeared in the Jiedu Embassy Mansion for at least five days, and almost everyone said that Lord Qin went to the Northwest County to inspect the work, but his subordinates are very skeptical of this statement." The captain of the guard replied respectfully with his head bowed.

"Oh? So what do you think? The girl's eyes were still on the fan, and she asked casually.

"My subordinates wonder if Lord Qin will go to Lishan County?" The captain of the guard whispered his guess.

"What's the credentials?" The girl remained silent.

"This, the subordinates don't have much basis, but Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that the rebellion in Kansai is rampant, the situation in various prefectures is tense, and Lord Qin has always paid great attention to military affairs, maybe he went to inspect the work of Lishan County, and it is possible to learn about the situation on the border by the way."

Although the captain of the guard used a hypothetical tone, the implication was undoubtedly positive, and there was no sense of color in his tone, so that people could not hear the slightest flaw.

Slowly retracting her gaze from the fan, the girl gently glanced at the man in front of her, the man only felt that the starlight glance seemed to have seen his inner world clearly, without missing the slightest, and his body couldn't help shrinking.

"Is there anything unusual about the movement of the Northwest Army stationed in Tokugawa now?" The girl finally put down the fan and took a sip of the teacup.

The man shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and said in a regretful tone: "Back to Your Highness, since the return of the 3rd and 5th Divisions of the Northwest Second Army of the Northern Expedition, these two divisions have never appeared again, there is news that they have gone to Beiloulan, and there is also news that they actually went to Lishan County. We don't have enough intelligence network here to find out accurate information, but I think the Empire's intelligence department should know that after all, it is difficult to hide such a large troop movement. ”

"It's not difficult, and the empire can master it through other channels. What we want to know is how many troops Qin Du is going to put into the Lishan County Mansion, and is there any other troops besides these two divisions? From the troops he stationed in Yeosan County, we can guess what his idea was? Will it be a simple defense to stop the rebellion from spreading to the northwest, or will it prepare to intervene locally in the war in neighboring prefectures, or will it march into Kansai on a large scale? This only needs to be judged by the number of troops he placed in Yeosan County. ”

The girl's incisive analysis made the man in front of her have to secretly admire, and the original trace of contempt suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by incomparable respect. (To be continued......)
