Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Huai Enhou ordered his men not to fight, let alone to get entangled too much with the bandits, and only pretended to be defeated and retreated.

After coming back, as soon as he came in, he saw Zhao Qingyan already sitting inside waiting for him.

When he saw him come back, he hurriedly got up and greeted him and asked, "Father, you are back!" ”

Huai Enhou nodded and sat down directly.

Zhao Qingyan's eyes sank, and when she looked around, there were still others, and she didn't take the liberty to ask Huai Enhou those doubts in her heart.

It's just that she can't hide things in her heart, although she didn't say anything, but all of them were written on her face.

She absentmindedly poured a cup of tea for Huai Enhou and presented it to him, "Father, are you tired?" Have a cup of tea, and I'll get someone to bring you something to eat. ”

Huai Enhou took the tea and looked up at it, and in an instant, Zhao Qingyan's puzzled expression was in full view.

He thoughtfully raised the teacup in his hand and took a sip lightly, "It's okay, you can go get something to eat." ”

"Okay, father, I'll go get you something to eat!" Zhao Qingyan nodded in response after hearing this.

After that, she bowed her body and went out, and went to get food according to the instructions of Huai Enhou.

After seeing Zhao Qingyan leave, Huai Enhou also got up and looked around and shouted: "You all go down first, I want to think about countermeasures quietly alone, except for Zhao Qingyan, don't let anyone else come in and disturb me!" ”

"Yes!" The people next to Huaienhou replied in unison when they heard it.

After a while, Zhao Qingyan walked in with a plate of food and said, "Father, the food is here, you can eat it while it's hot." ”

As she spoke, she leaned down and laid the meal in front of Wynnehou.

"Don't worry, you do it first, I have something to tell you." Huai Enhou looked at Zhao Qingyan, who was busy next to him, and said.

Zhao Qingyan nodded without refusing, sat opposite him and said, "Father, if you have something to say while eating!" ”

Huai Enhou nodded and said bluntly: "I know that you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, and now I have divided the people on the left and right in order to tell you the mystery of this." ”

Zhao Qingyan, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but show a knowing smile when he heard this, nodded and said, "Father, thoughtful, now there are only you and I left, you can rest assured." ”

Huai Enhou nodded and explained, "This time we were defeated in a hurry, it's not really that we can't defeat their bandits!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but widen his eyes with some joy.

It seems that more than half of her previous speculations and suspicions are true, which also confirms many of her previous thoughts.

Zhao Qingyan, who was anxious to listen to Huai Enhou's explanation, did not interrupt, but sat quietly on the side and waited to listen to Huai Enhou's more detailed explanation.

"When we went, we noticed that these bandits seemed to know that we were coming, and they seemed to have taken precautions."

Huai Enhou couldn't help frowning slightly when he said this, he didn't know who it was who sent the news to these mountain bandits.

Whether it was the officials who colluded with the bandits, or whether there was an enemy in their midst, he did not know.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious and asked, "Father, why don't you continue?" ”

After hearing this, Huai Enhou sighed a little helplessly and said: "Hey, you don't know, this matter is not only our face is disgraced after our defeat this time, but more importantly, it means that someone must have reported to them." ”

When the words fell, Zhao Qingyan was like hearing a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and she was caught off guard.

"How so?" Zhao Qingyan hung his head and couldn't help muttering.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be overshadowed in an instant.

"Who could it be that people are colluding with those bandits?"

Zhao Qingyan couldn't help biting the corner of his lip after speaking.

Just those evil mountain bandits are enough to make people feel upset and upset, and now there are still others who collude with the mountain bandits to commit adultery, and all the bad things are rushed together.

Huai Enhou shook his head, frowned, and sighed: "I don't know, it's because I don't know who is also colluding with that mountain bandit, it's difficult to do things!" ”

After a pause, he spoke again and added: "It may be that the officials here have secretly communicated with them to smuggle Yin Ping Chencang, but these are just speculations. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Qingyan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Father, then, what about Wen Qiao?" ”

Hearing her ask about Wen Qiao, Huai Enhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smug smile.

"Haha," he laughed twice before explaining lightly, "Yes, I was worried about this matter that I asked Wen Qiao to go undercover to investigate and figure out this matter thoroughly." ”

Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but suddenly realize when he heard this: "I see, my father is really resourceful and cautious, so I must find out who is doing the ghost." ”

Huai Enhou didn't laugh but shook his head after hearing her words, he knew that things would not happen overnight, let alone be clear in one or two sentences.

These people who collude with mountain bandits must be powerful and powerful, otherwise they would not have been rampant for so long.

Even he, Huai Enhou, led people to clean up bandits, and dared to report the news, not to mention that if they were others, their behavior would be even worse.

"Qingyan, even Wen Qiao and I can't deal with this matter, so don't embarrass yourself anymore!"

Seeing that Zhao Qingyan's expression was solemn, Huai Enhou seemed to be still struggling with the collusion between the mountain bandits and the officials to report the news, so he comforted him.

With that, he got up from his chair and stood aside.

Seeing him get up, Zhao Qingyan also stood up and said: "Father, it turned out that I was too self-conscious, you and Wen Qiao didn't come up with a countermeasure, and I still tried in vain to hope that I could come up with a countermeasure to help you." ”

After listening to Zhao Qingyan's words, Huai Enhou couldn't help but nodded and said: "I naturally understand your intentions, but you don't have to blame yourself too much, now Wen Qiao has gone out to investigate this matter undercover, and I believe that it will soon be revealed." ”

His words made a big stone that Zhao Qingyan was originally hanging on finally fall to the ground.

I also have to admire Huai Enhou for being really well-informed, and what she thinks in her heart seems to be guessed by him, which makes her admire.

Zhao Qingyan's eyes sank, and his eyebrows wrinkled as if he had nothing to say.

Seeing this, Huai Enhou said: "If you still have any doubts, if you don't understand something, just ask, but it's okay to say!" ”

Zhao Qingyan lowered his head and smiled shallowly, there was really nothing on his mind that couldn't escape Huai Enhou's eyes, and it would be fulfilled immediately!

"Father, you really saw my mind at a glance, I just wanted to ask why you reported to the capital that Wen Qiao couldn't find it?" Zhao Qingyan looked at Huai Enhou and asked puzzledly.

After Zhao Qingyan's question was finished, Huai Enhou followed and smiled.

Where does he know how to read someone's mind, but he can only think of one thing with her.

Huai Enhou looked at Zhao Qingyan and explained lightly: "I asked people to report to the capital that Wen Qiao's whereabouts are unknown, and it is also to hide people's eyes, otherwise for no reason, a member of the imperial court will disappear, and the mountain bandits will definitely be suspicious to investigate!" ”
