After staying by Cao Xun and Wang Meng's side for a while, Bai Ling made an excuse to leave there, and when she exited the door, she saw Shao Kuan walking this way with a straight face from a distance.

Bai Ling bowed to Shao Kuan from a distance in the same place, and nodded his head on the other side.

After seeing Shao Kuan enter the room, Bai Ling looked at his back and pondered for a moment. I can't tell why, she has a good impression of this Lord Shao for no reason, maybe because today's Wang Meng's narration made her feel a few wisps of untimely stubbornness in this Shao County Commander.

Bai Ling returned to his room.

"Don't hide it, it's me." She whispered.

Li Yiru walked out from between the gap between the bed and the wall, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did the second brother go for so long?" ”

"Because this Lord Cao was more than an hour late this morning, it was delayed." Bai Ling took off his robe, and then opened a few windows to the south to ventilate, "I also asked Vice General Wang today, when the Jin people officially withdraw from the army, we can set off for Yanzhou." ”

Bai Ling also told the young man all the things he heard from Cao Xun at noon, and Li Yiru breathed a sigh of relief and sat in front of the charcoal fire with Bai Ling.

"Yanzhou is really miserable." The young man stretched out his hand and approached the brazier, "If Lord Wang had led his troops to continue to march north, maybe this would not have happened." ”

Bai Ling smiled.

"Probably General Chang thinks that between the destruction of several county towns in Yanzhou and the loss of two hopes, the price of the latter is even more unacceptable."

……

In the evening, Bai Ling and Li Yiru were waiting for dinner in the house, and when someone knocked on the door, Bai Ling got up to pick it up, but found that the person who came was not the official servant who delivered the meal.

"...... you?"

"We were sent by Governor Cao."

Bai Ling's heart sank slightly, "Looking for me?" ”

"Yes." The person who came had a serious face, "Tonight, the grain will be inspected in the city, and Governor Cao will let Mr. Wei go with him." ”

Bai Ling frowned, "Why do you want me to go with me?" I am not an official of the Zhuozhou Prefecture, nor have I ever participated in the unloading of grain and grass from both sides—"

"That's what Governor Cao ordered," the man quickly interrupted Bai Ling's words, "I'll wait for you when you're late." ”

"Then it's okay for me to change my clothes and leave, right?"

"No need," the visitor waved his hand, and the two of them walked around behind Bai Ling, and went straight to Bai Ling's cloak, "Let's go." ”

Bai Ling looked at the inner room with his peripheral vision.

After all, Li Yiru escaped from Cao Xun's captivity...... Could this be a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain and secretly arrest him?

"Come on, don't make it hard for us." The visitor lowered his voice and said.

Bai Ling snorted lightly, put on his cloak and followed everyone into the wind and snow.

……

When Bai Ling came to the outside of the county office that looked at both ends, everyone had indeed gathered.

Everyone was silent, save for the sound of the wind and torches burning softly in the air.

"Everyone is together," Cao Xun looked at Shao Kuan, "lead the way." ”

Bai Ling faintly felt that Wang Meng and Shao Kuan looked at him a little strangely, but it was difficult to ask what was going on right now, so Bai Ling still followed behind the Xue brothers as usual.

Shao Kuan and his chief officials walked in the front, led everyone to the backyard of the county office, and along the winding bottom steps, Bai Ling saw the underground warehouse at both ends for the first time.

It looks very similar to the warehouse that Lao Xu wanted to detonate outside the city of Huizhou, both sides of the road and the top of the head are huge and neat rock blocks, although they have long been prepared for the underground grain reserves at both ends, but seeing so many and such well-preserved granaries, everyone can hardly hide the surprise in their eyes.

No wonder Chang Sheng is so desperate to keep this place.

Cao Xun didn't say a word during the whole process, his dark eyes had long been tightly grasped by everything here, and he greedily looked at the grain stored here over and over again.

Out of the warehouse, Cao Xun's face returned to its previous coldness, "How many warehouses like this are there?" ”

"Four." Shao Kuan replied.

"Four...... Four? Cao Xun was shocked again, and his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, "Wow, Shao Kuan, it's been almost five years since this official took over Zhuozhou, and you have never done this kind of thing-"

"Every year, I deliver surplus grain to the prefect's yamen." Shao Kuan said coldly, "If Lord Cao doesn't know, then he probably has never seen these folds." ”

Cao Xun glanced at him coldly, "Who knows which corner you handed the fold to?" ”

"I don't know," Shao Kuan's face turned pale, "Several times, General Chang and General Shen directly sent people to negotiate with me, and I said that the two heads are the county seat under the Zhuozhou government, and they can often come over with all the documents with seals in a few days, but the payment is often full of words...... It is also surprising that the officials in the yamen of the Futai Lord are not even familiar with their own names. ”

Cao Xun glanced at Shao Kuan deeply, and then his face slowly changed, and finally showed a warm smile.

"Since the grain has been tested, then it will be dispersed tonight."

"Scattered?" Shao Kuan glanced at Cao Xun, "There are still three granaries, Lord Cao, don't you see it?" ”

"Since it's all the same as this, what else is there to see?" Cao Xun looked ahead, "It's a waste of all these grains to exist here, I will give you an order tomorrow and transfer some of them to Zhuozhou for emergency." ”

Shao Kuan arched his hand, saluted Cao Xun, and dropped a sentence, "Then wait for the news of Lord Futai", and turned away, as if he didn't want to stay by Cao Xun's side for a moment.

"That'...... Song Qing," Cao Xun suddenly turned around, and talked to Bai Ling for the first time tonight, "You come with me, let's talk for a while." ”

Bai Ling frowned, she looked at Xue Ziping and Wang Meng, both of whom looked at Shao Kuan, as if they deliberately avoided making eye contact with themselves.

Bai Ling tilted his head slightly and followed Cao Xun's footsteps.

At least the people, Cao Xun stopped, turned around and smiled, "Songqing has really had a good time, I said that General Chang specially instructed Vice General Wang to send you to Yanzhou safely...... is worthy of being a person who has entered the general's blue eyes, which is not ordinary. ”

"Lord Cao has won the prize."

"If I knew that you had such a ability, the official would not have let you be so overused." Cao Xun said softly, "The imperial court is the time to employ people, and this official is also thinking of recommending it in person-"

"No need, Master Cao." Bai Ling opened his mouth and said, "The grass people have never had such thoughts, so let's leave the opportunity to those who need it more." ”

"Oh, let's talk about something else." Cao Xun laughed, "Let's say those two friends of yours ......"

Bai Ling raised his eyes, "Are you talking about Li Yiru and Mu Cheng?" ”

"Nature." Cao Xun said with a smile, "The little young master of the Li family has slipped away again, and we are also sending people to look for him." But Mu Cheng's injuries are almost healed, and he is still recuperating in my house at this time."

Bai Ling sighed, "...... Thanks to Lord Cao's care. ”

Cao Xun shook his head, "After all, Songqing, you're still outside doing things for me." ”

"...... is Lord Cao?"

"You've been on both sides for so many days." Cao Xun's eyes deepened, "Didn't you find anything suspicious?" ”
