"My father's soldiers and horses are all in the north, and I have to take into account the border defense, and there are about less than 100,000 people who can be mobilized." Si Xian continued the previous topic, "Of these 100,000, most of them are going to be stationed in Jinsui to guard the royal capital. There are only 30,000 troops that can be transferred to Luohe. And it takes a long time. ”

Kwong Yu understood another message behind his words.

"When did the Jinsui patrol record start to change?" He asked bluntly.

"When I left, my eldest brother was finding out about Anhe for fourteen years. It was about ten years ago. ”

Decade.

Kuang Yu furrowed his brows.

"Private soldiers have infiltrated the Jin Sui Army for at least more than ten years." He deducted the case twice, and needless to say, both of them knew how serious the situation was.

If there can be one Lu Tao in Luohe, there can be a second and a third. For more than ten years, I don't know who has woven a dark net and planted the seeds of sparks everywhere in Gu Han.

"Prime Minister Fu also has some protégés and courtiers who are good friends, and his father and Si Luo are verifying. But the question is—"

"The king can't wait." Kuang Yu followed his words and made it clear.

Si Xian nodded again. "The 100,000 soldiers of Luohe cannot be trusted. This time, it was our Queen Mother who realized it. ”

"If you are afraid that Luohe will be lost, I can help send King Gu Han back to the royal capital." Kwong Yu proposed.

"Difficult." Si Xian shook his head, "It's uncertain how prosperous the fire will be when it reaches Luohe." But Jin Sui must be the center of gravity of the disaster. ”

The plague he spoke of was the plague of civil strife.

"Let's leave people in Luohe first." After all, the mountain city is difficult to attack, and there are generals from him and Lin Guo here. He recognized Kuang Yu's military exploits in Linguo.

"Then the arming and rotation will need to be adjusted slightly." Sure enough, Kuang Yu had already planned the arrangement in his mind, he thought for a moment, and looked up at Si Xian, who was waiting for his reply, "The city guards also need to change." ”

"Okay." Si Xian bowed, "Zhang Qiming may be trustworthy." But he is more eye-catching, and it is easy to startle the snake. The captain of the Humen team is the second rank of the imperial front, and in terms of official rank, you are qualified enough. I will give Zhang Qiming a point or two, although you gradually become more guarded, let him be in front of others, so that it is convenient for you to act. ”

After speaking, Si Xian got up, raised his arms and expanded his chest, "Let's go, let's go around the prison." ”

"I'm not going." Kuang Yu got up and straightened his clothes, "Long'er should wake up." ”

Si Xian glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and was noncommittal, "Okay." I don't like to have people around me when I'm interrogating. ”

The two of them, who were breezy and moonlight, parted ways when they got out of the thatched hut covered with snow.

Luohe Prison is very wet and cold, especially in winter. The charcoal fire in the prison kept the jailers warm, and the further they went, the more piercing they became. I don't know how many people freeze to death in prison every year.

Anyway, it's not weird.

Lu Tao was in the deepest single cell.

Si Xianping retreated and walked inside, the warden on the side seemed to have something to say, he raised his hand to silence people, and the other party swallowed the words back into his stomach, waiting in place and moving forward by himself.

The long corridors are lined with prisoners huddled under the covers to keep out the cold. They were so soaked in the cold that they couldn't sleep in the winter night, and they were all shivering in the middle of the quilt, when they saw Si Xian's figure floating in front of them.

Naturally, those people didn't know the appearance of Yelang Guan. I just saw this man walking silently under the hazy moon shadow in the window, under his dark mink fur cloak, with a vague smile, and his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like he was an arraignator, but like he had gone to the front to play.

Some, faintly pressed with great interest.

Someone was curious, so he simply rushed to the door of his cell to take a look, and greeted him in a vulgar manner.

The young man under the cloak heard the sound, his pace slowed down but did not stop, he lowered his eyelashes, and glanced at the reckless men out of the corner of his eye.

The prison that had been coaxing suddenly fell silent.

The prisoners who rushed in front of them froze in place, swallowing their saliva unconsciously.

It's not a surprise or an unexpected distraction.

It's more like the primitive reaction of a prey when it sees a predator.

The man had a mild, smiling face. Why are your eyes so intimidating.

Like an ice blade in the fog, with cruelty and sharpness, I don't know from what direction it will shoot at itself.

A few of them were the first to come to their senses, and they all subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes, and hurriedly retreated to the depths of their cells.

Si Xian raised his eyes, but he tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders, and still walked in freely.

It's as if nothing happened.

But the further you go, the warmer it gets. He untied his cloak and hung it on his arm.

Then he came to the end.

It was brightly lit, charcoal-fired, and warm as the winter sun.

He cautiously stopped and looked toward the cell.

The cell door was wide open. Under the oil lamp, the candle flame reflected the long shadows on the ground. He saw the silhouette of a wheeled car in the shadow, and when he looked up, he saw a wheelchair parked in front of the door with his back to him. On the left arm of the wheelchair, a withered hand hangs. Lu Tao was outside the prison, leaning over the right side of the wheelchair and whispering something to the owner of the chair. Nearby, there stood a familiar guard.

Isn't this the guard guarding the gate of the Green Mountain Palace?

Si Xian's eyelids jumped, and he saw Lu Tao straighten up, the guard surnamed Su was about to push the wheelchair, and the rattling sound of the rut turning suddenly hit his ears, and it was too late for him to turn around and leave. I had to look away, just look at the pair of golden boots on the footboard, and the rabbit fur blanket hanging down the hem.

Si Xian only felt that his heart was beating fast. A muffled voice slammed his chest.

"Second brother."

He raised his head at the sound of a spirit, and when he saw her in front of him, his eyes turned red.

"Why are you ......" he trembled, not daring to step forward, for fear that the wind and dust brought up by his steps would hurt her when he walked.

Si Xian has thought many times about what kind of crime she has suffered, and what is her current situation. Didn't Kuang Yu still say that she could go to the ground during the day? How...... But it's so fragile......

He couldn't associate the pair of miserable hands in front of him, the pair of sunken and dim eyes, and the lifeless face with the original smiling and bright-eyed sister.

He was frowning, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he let himself loosen his brows, and quietly breathed out before Wen Yan asked, "I heard that you are resting, why did you come here?" ”

Jiang Linglong didn't speak, blinked slowly, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and slowly stretched out her hands towards him - Si Xian stepped over and gently held her in his arms.

"Second brother." She hugged Si Xian, patted him on the back slowly, and whispered comfort in his ear, "Don't be afraid." ”

Si Xian felt that what he was holding was not a living life, but a skeleton with incense.

"I'll be fine." She whispered again.

Si Xian came back to his senses, nodded heavily, put her back in the chair and sat down, and covered her with a rabbit fur blanket.

When he got up again, he had regained his normal color, and asked the guards next to him, "What's going on?" ”
