Lu Heng said: "The Great Zhou has just ended the war, and there is no intention of invading the north at all, Utkin Khan did this, nothing more than to take the opportunity to expand the territory, when I was by Utkin Han's side before, he once revealed this intention in his words. ”

Qin Yining nodded in agreement when he heard this, "Utkin Khan is indeed extremely ambitious. ”

By now, the situation has become clear, and it is obvious why Siqin killed Anari, she and Lu Heng just took the blame for Siqin.

Therefore, since Siqin was preparing for war before mobilizing grain and grass, they had to intercept this grain and grass.

First, they made up for the lack of food and grass.

Second, did they bring so many clansmen out for sightseeing? How can you let go of the opportunity to stab Utkin Khan?

The three rules are also the most important point in Qin Yining's heart, according to her observation, Tatar is not very rich, a nomadic people, grain and grass are not as abundant as the previous Great Yan Dynasty, intercepting their grain and grass is likely to delay the pace of the war, and it can also reduce some pressure on the Xiaoxiao.

Qin Yining doesn't need to be in the capital, as long as he calms down and analyzes it a little, he knows that once the war starts, regardless of the south or north, Li Qitian will definitely let Xiao Xiao go on the expedition, because Li Qitian does not trust Xiao Xiao now, and will definitely not hand over the safety of Gyeonggi to him to guard.

And once Li Qitian wants to murder Xiao Xiao's heart, and Xiao Xiao is outside, Li Qitian will be better able to shirk responsibility.

Thinking about it this way, there is a crisis everywhere around him. Qin Yining couldn't wait to fly back to the capital immediately.

It's a pity that she can only work hard to move towards the border now.

When everyone's discussion was in full swing, Qin Yining already seemed a little absent-minded, and when Lu Heng saw her frowning slightly, he could already guess her thoughts, and his heart was a little sour.

Even if Xiao Xiao didn't protect her, even if he was the one who went through the ordeal with her, Qin Yining would always have Xiao Xiao in his heart and couldn't see others. Lu Heng envied the good luck of Xiao Xiao, he could get such an excellent woman to treat him wholeheartedly, and he also sighed his infatuation, I am afraid that he will not be able to get a return in this life.

After some deliberation, it was finally decided that the grain and grass must be obtained.

With food and grass, they can find a way to bring their tribesmen one after another, and they can find a safe place to start a new life.

Because of the attraction of grain and grass, everyone was full of energy, and Uncle Arhan and the scouts spied twice, roughly guessing the route of the grain and grass, and then everyone gathered together and discussed the best ambush location.

On the day of the operation, Lu Heng and Qin Yining were left in the camp, and Uncle Arhan and Halbala led more than 500 clansmen to act, while Chaganbala stayed with the rest of the clansmen to respond at any time.

The battle lasted all day, and the next day, Uncle Arhan successfully escorted the grain and grass back, because Qin Yining and Lu Heng's strategy was not missing, this operation, only one person died, three clansmen were injured, they not only robbed the grain and grass, but also annihilated the escorted army.

This is already a rare miracle.

Uncle Arhan has a new level of understanding of Qin Yining and Lu Heng's resourcefulness, and his admiration and admiration for them is simply incomprehensible, for a while, all the clansmen know that Qin Yining and Lu Heng are two extremely outstanding military advisors, their strategies are unparalleled, and they have no omissions, as long as they listen to their arrangements, their actions will definitely be able to win at the minimum cost.

After getting the grain and grass, Qin Yining and Lu Heng discussed the route, and did not stop in the same place for a long time, but rushed to a valley that they bypassed when they came overnight, taking advantage of the heavy snow to cover their footprints, and perfectly avoided the scouts arranged by Siqin.

At the same time, the news of the interception of grain and grass quickly reached Siqin's ears.

"What? Annihilated? Ben Khan arranged more than 100 elites, each of whom could be wiped out so easily with one enemy of ten! Who did it? ”

The general who replied had a face as white as earth, and when Siqin yelled, his face turned pale again, and he knelt on the ground and saluted: "The Khan is angry, and the ministers are incompetent." Now that the road is closed by heavy snow, the situation outside is very bad, and the ministers are ...... I don't know who did it. When the minister sent people to investigate, only the corpses of the warriors were left in the camp, and the grain, grass, horses, and blades were gone. ”

"Missing?" Siqin's voice was simply grinding out between his teeth, but he pursed his lips, he was still able to perfectly control his emotions and expressions, and said unhurriedly: "Is it true that there are immortals who are not used to the strength of my Tatars, and they don't want us to avenge Anari Khan, so they will make such a farce?" ”

"No, no! Khan must not think like this, it is useless for the ministers to take advantage of the loopholes, where is there any saying that the gods do not protect them? ”

"Yes, Khan, this loss of grain and grass, there will definitely be traces, and the ministers immediately ordered someone to closely track down, and the whereabouts of the grain and grass will definitely be traced! We must not let our food disappear in a vacuum! ”

Siqin nodded and said, "In this way, Ben Khan will be relieved." Ben Khan also believes that we are a country protected by the gods, and he also believes that no one should use demon magic to quietly take away the grain. ”

When they came out of the palace, the ministers were blown by the cold wind, only to find that their backs were soaked with cold sweat, and as soon as the wind blew, they were chilled.

Utkin Khan was a mighty khan, he didn't need to be angry, just a few words, it was even more frightening than the anger of Anari Khan in the past.

Utkin Khan was obviously not angry just now, but they were all trembling from the depths of their souls, which is called the real imperial majesty.

%

Xiao Xiao also got the flying pigeon here.

The Tatar grain and grass were cut off and disappeared, and now Siqin's people are tracking down the whereabouts of the grain and grass, and the date of the war may be delayed.

When he saw it, his heart shook. Although there was no evidence, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, Xiao Xiao still decided that the matter of grain and grass must be related to Qin Yining.

Siqin was a very good man, and after ascending to the throne, he not only treated the courtiers well, but also exempted the people from paying taxes, and improved the lives of many slaves.

It is the cohesion of Tatar that has reached an unprecedented height in the past 50 years or so.

The Tatars want to avenge the Anari Khan and want to start a war, believing that no one will bother to rob the grain and grass, and I also believe that Siqin will definitely arrange the elite to transport it, and the idle bandits will not be able to snatch the grain and grass.

Therefore, he concluded that the matter of grain and grass must have been planned and premeditated by someone.

And Qin Yining is the most motivated to do so. Because doing so can relieve Da Zhou's pressure, and it is equivalent to relieving his pressure. Xiao Xiao never doubted Qin Yining's intelligence and ability, but he knew that she was still alive, which had made him happy for several days, and now she still had the strength to go to such a big thing, which really surprised Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao quietly went to find Qin Huaiyuan.

When Qin Huaiyuan heard the news, he couldn't help laughing, "This girl, I originally thought about how hard she didn't know how hard she had worked outside, who knew that she still had the ability to rob other people's grain and grass, at least I don't have to worry about her not having enough to eat outside." ”

Xiao Xiao also laughed, but after laughing, he was a little worried: "In case I guessed wrong, it wasn't Sister Yi'er who did it." She might still be starving. It's colder in Tatar than in the capital, and Sister Yi was born in the south since she was a child, so I'm really afraid that she won't be able to adapt to it. ”

When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle at the gains and losses of the owl.

"Don't worry, I can be sure that it was indeed done by Sister Yi'er. I received news today from the Tartary border. Although it cannot be confirmed that Sister Yi and Lu Heng killed Anari Khan, they have already left Dadu with the people of the Tatar Mino, and are now being hunted down by Siqin. ”

"Mino? Once upon a time it was one of the most powerful tribes of the Tatars. However, it is said that the persecution of Anari Khan was very serious, and there are not many young people left in the clan. ”

"Yes, even this tribe, which regime is not an iron bucket, not without loopholes. Now Utkin Khan, who is so pleasing to the Tatar people, is using the bad things she did during the time of Anari Khan to set off his current benevolence. ”

Hearing this, there was silence for a while.

Siqin's method is extremely scary to think about.

Siqin has been calculating since the day he approached Anari, and even when he helped Anari seize power, he had already paved the way for his future self, and his vicious and meticulous mind made people shudder.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but think of himself.

The person next to his pillow is also very smart, and he is also a resourceful person, but he will not harm him, he will only help him, even if he is in danger, he will not forget to take someone to snatch Siqin's food and grass to reduce the pressure on his side, not to mention the help she helped when the earth dragon turned over and was hit hard by the disaster area in the past.

Xiao Xiao's body and mind seem to be soaked in honey.

However, the more this is the case, the more the bone-eating thoughts invade the blood with unscrupulousness. If he could, he hoped that Qin Yining would stay by his side safely. It doesn't matter if she can't help him, as long as she can accompany him safely.

"Siqin is so cunning, Sister Yi'er's situation in Tartary is also very dangerous now." Xiao Xiao's worried brows tightened, "If I could, I would have wanted to go to Tatar myself and get her back." ”

Qin Huaiyuan patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Don't be too anxious, things haven't come to that point yet." Sister Yi'er is now with the people of the Mino Department, although we don't know the details, but one thing is certain, Sister Yi'er is safe for the time being. Now that our relations with the Tatars are tense, if you act rashly, if you are charged with treason, it is not a joke, and you must not forget that your life and death are no longer just on behalf of yourself. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.

It is precisely because he knows that he still has responsibilities that he can't shirk, so he has no choice but to wait for news here. Otherwise, he would have been unable to hold back and rushed directly to Tatar.

When Weng and his son-in-law were worried about Qin Yining, Qin Yining hugged Cao Yuqing very happily.

"Aunt Cao! You're okay! That's great! ”
