Conceited? I have never made a mistake in the things I have arranged, Qin Li and Xue Yi will handle all this, but the General's Mansion needs you and me. “

Xiao Mohan's face did not change, his thin lips were lightly lifted, and his tone was heavy, it seemed that something should have happened in the general's mansion, but it was clear that Qian Qianqian was still calm when she left.

Qian Qianqian followed Xiao Mohan in, at this hour, most of the subordinates in the general's mansion were resting, and only a few teams of family members took turns patrolling, but there were no patrols in sight.

Xiao Mohan seemed to think of something, and took Qian Qianqian straight to the courtyard where Jiang Sheng lived, and as he expected, Jiang Sheng's room was turned over, and the herbs in this courtyard were also knocked to the ground, and it seemed that they had undergone a lot of sweeping.

Walking inside, looking around, I couldn't see half a figure, it seemed that the thief who had infiltrated had gone, and the patrolling family members of the General's Mansion should have been subdued a long time ago.

"The spies of the Central Kingdom actually sneaked into the General's Mansion, fortunately Jiang Sheng is gone, otherwise something will happen."

Qian Qianqian suddenly realized, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that Xiao Mohan was right to let them leave before, but she couldn't rest assured, and secretly ran back by herself.

"Those spies from the central country are everywhere, this time you know how powerful."

Xiao Mohan's expression was calm, his deep eyes were not shocked, and he deliberately took Qian Qianqian to see this scene, just to let Qian Qianqian have a number in her heart.

"Since those spies can sneak into the General's Mansion while you are away, they will definitely not let the people in this city detoxify smoothly, so will they do anything with the medicinal herbs?"

Qian Qianqian didn't care about this, she was only worried about the safety of the people of Jincheng, and now the situation has finally improved, so many people have died, and she can't go back to before.

Xiao Mohan didn't respond, just took out a small bone flute from his sleeve, put it to his mouth and blew it, a few black shadows suddenly flashed in the night, a gust of wind blew, rolled up the layers of fallen leaves on the ground, and several men fell from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Mohan.

"Subordinates, see generals." The man at the head was dressed in black, with tough facial features, solemn eyes, a thick layer of slag on the side of his mouth, and a tall and burly figure, at first glance, he was a person who practiced martial arts.

"Get up." Xiao Mohan put away the bone flute, put his hands behind his back, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and there was indescribable nobility and recklessness between his eyebrows.

"General, the matter has been settled, those spies have all been captured, but before they could be interrogated, they took poison and committed suicide."

The man at the head of the report reported that Xiao Mohan had already prepared to let those spies come and go.

"You take people to search in the city, try to find out the fish that slipped through the net, and make this Jincheng cleaner."

Xiao Mohan opened his mouth lightly, lowering his eyes slightly, the cold moonlight sprinkled on his side face, and a layer of silver light was plated on his shoulder.

"Yes, General." The man nodded immediately, not daring to disobey him, it could be seen that he was also Xiao Mohan's henchman, but looking at his dress, he should not be the same as Xue Yi's status.

"This is Yufeng, the leader of the dark guard under my hand, who is on par with Xue Yi's status, and has been operating for me in this side of the frontier all these years."

Xiao Mohan turned his face straight away, looked down at Qian Qianqian from top to bottom, and explained unhurriedly, regardless of whether Qian Qianqian was really interested or not.

"I see, it seems that your power is really not to be underestimated." Qian Qianqian remained silent, in fact, she was surprised for a moment in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of Xiao Mohan.

"The general is the protector of this frontier, if there was no general, these people would have fallen into the hands of the central country a long time ago, and this Jincheng would not be so lively, so I am waiting for the general to do things, and I am also doing things for Xiao Guo."

Yu Feng looked resolute, and seemed to feel that what Qian Qianqian said was a little inappropriate, and every word was righteous and righteous, and no one could refute it.

Qian Qianqian also realized that she had lost her words, this is the land of Xiao State, no matter how high Xiao Mohan's status is, he is only a general after all, not an emperor, so if what she said just now is heard by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to Xiao Mohan.

"You go back to the room first, just don't know about it, I'll take care of everything here."

Xiao Mohan gave Qian Qianqian a look, as if she was deliberately trying to break away from her, she had always been an interesting person, and she didn't want to stay here listening to Xiao Mohan and Yufeng, the master and servant, talk.

"The people in the capital, have they all been solved?" Seeing Qian Qianqian walking away, Xiao Mohan lowered his voice and asked, a cold light crossed his deep eyes.

"Back to the general's words, everything has been resolved, they haven't passed on the news, please rest assured general."

Yu Feng bowed slightly, and said it categorically, so that Xiao Mohan felt a lot more relieved.

"You guys step down, remember, don't reveal your identity, and you have to send someone to secretly protect Qian Qianqian."

Xiao Mohan's thin lips were lightly lifted, and he never forgot to protect Qian Qianqian's safety, although Qian Qianqian saw Yufeng for the first time, but Yufeng was very familiar with her, so she quickly nodded and agreed.

Early the next morning, Xue Yi rushed back to the capital, with the dust of the servants on her body, and the leather whip pinned to her waist.

"General, in the battle last night, the soldiers and horses of the Central Kingdom were almost wiped out, and we captured a large number of weapons, but we just let Yueji escape."

Xue Yi bowed to Xiao Mohan, it seems that last night was a fierce battle, so presumably Yang Guo must be unable to fight anymore.

"Yueji is cunning, it's not so easy to be caught, anyway, the central country is now at the end of the crossbow, if she wants to escape, let her escape, don't care."

Xiao Mohan sat in front of him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, patronizing and talking, without tasting tea, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

"Now that the central country surrenders, it is a matter of time, after more than ten battles of all sizes, our people have also suffered a lot of casualties, so general, is it time to report to the court and prepare to return to the court?"

Xue Yi cautiously asked, after staying here for many months, many soldiers are homesick, and many of those soldiers who volunteered to join the army have relatives still in their families, so if they can go back one day earlier, they will try to go back one day earlier.

"Don't worry, although the central country is not enough, they still have a lot of minions, and now Yueji is still at large, we must let them have no chance to turn over."

Xiao Mo spit out a sentence coldly, and put the tea cup on the table, and the tea in it overflowed, wetting the corner of the table.

"Yes, general, his subordinates obey orders, but Qin Li has been guarding the soldiers outside Jincheng, can you send some wine and meat over to comfort those soldiers?"

What Xue Yi said is exactly what Xiao Mohan thinks in his heart, those soldiers have also suffered in the past few days of fighting, and now they have won a big victory, and they should indeed be rewarded.

It's just that the military salary of the imperial court has not been allocated at the moment, if it weren't for Qian Qianqian's so much grain and grass from Lianzhou, I'm afraid they would have run out of food a long time ago, and many people in Jincheng have just struggled back from the underworld, and they may not be able to get together so many good things at this time.

"Let's put this matter off for a while, the poisoning of the people has hit Jincheng hard, I'm afraid it will take a few days to recover, we can't add a burden to those people."

Xiao Mohan thought about it in his heart, and in the end he favored the people, although the soldiers were very important to Xiao Guo and fought the country, but the people were weak, and they should not be exploited.

"The general is right, then I will go back and inform Qin Li and ask him to appease the three armies."

Xue Yi did not object, she knew that Xiao Mohan had always loved the people like a son, even if he was a saint today, I am afraid he would not be able to do this, so it was normal for him to make this decision.

Just as Xue Yi was about to retreat, Qian Qianqian suddenly walked in from outside, and she overheard the conversation between Xue Yi and Xiao Mohan just now.

"Those wine and meat can make the general's mansion pay fifty percent, and then the people can pay fifty percent, so that the soldiers can be rewarded, but also will not add too much burden to the people."

Qian Qianqian stood in front of Xiao Mohan, raised her head, stretched her eyebrows, her eyes showed indescribable tenacity, and her words were full of certainty.

"Boss Qian, there are a lot of soldiers outside, where is there so much wine and meat in the General's Mansion?"

Xue Yi felt very ridiculous, Qian Qianqian had just arrived, and she might not know the situation of the General's Mansion, although in this Jincheng, the General's Mansion is a place with a higher status than the Yamen, but Xiao Mohan feels sorry for the people and never exploits the people, so the general's income has always been good, and it can only be spent by these slaves and masters.

"I remember where Steward Li has an account book, which records the monthly expenses of the general's mansion, in which the daily food, meat, and vegetables for each maidservant are all men's portions, not to mention those given to the family, and there are about one or two pieces of silver for them every month, with all due respect, is the general too good to these subordinates? And the General's Mansion doesn't need so many subordinates. ”

Qian Qianqian remembered that when she escaped from the General's Mansion overnight with Steward Li, she saw the account book that Steward Li was carrying, so she also had a little understanding of the expenses of the General's Mansion.

But Xiao Mohan's eyes were not shocked, and there was no superfluous expression on his face, he knew well the expenses of the General's Mansion, and it had been the same all these years.

"Boss Qian, I'm afraid you don't know, the people who come to the General's Mansion on errands are all people who can't even eat in the cities of Xinjiang, and they all have elderly parents and young children in their families, so these things given to them are actually for them to subsidize their families, after all, if the General's Mansion doesn't help, their family will not survive."

Xue Yi explained in a fifteen-ten-ten-way manner that although Xiao Mohan was far away in Lianzhou before, and the general's mansion had always been taken care of by Steward Li, he still knew everything about the expenses in this mansion, so all the things he gave were counted.

Qian Qianqian suddenly realized, but she always felt that it was not a matter if it had always been like this, the things given by the General's Mansion still had to be in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, these people had been supported by the General's Mansion, and over time, they would not be self-reliant.

"There is a lot of wasteland on the outskirts of Jincheng, although it is not as fertile as those in Lianzhou City, but if someone cultivates it and then plants wheat, it will be able to ensure that these people have food and clothing, and it can also make the food in Jincheng more abundant."

Qian Qianqian had gone out for a walk before, and she had also observed the land on this side of the frontier, so she had long wanted to wait for the war to end and make use of all the land.
