"Where's his old man's letter?" The commander asked the son.

The boy stood up, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to the commander and said, "The scholar still has a few private words that I hope Xiaosheng will convey, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"Okay, please." The commander led him into his study, closed the doors and windows, and said, "Young Master Ling, there is no one else here, you can say it." ”

"Xiaosheng heard along the road that the Japanese are rampant, and they all command the envoys but adopt a policy of not resisting, why is this?" The boy asked with a serious face.

Du Commander's eyes showed offended anger, and he restrained his emotions and said, "Could this be the private words that Scholar Xiao wants you to convey?" ”

"His words are related to this, and Xiaosheng has to ask before he can convey it."

"This is a military secret, and you can't hear it. Moreover, scholars have never cared about current affairs, so how could they let you convey words related to this. Say! Who are you? The commander suddenly drew the sword from the wooden frame and asked the son.

Before the tip of his sword could get close to the child, a stone shot from the roof struck him on the wrist with precision, and he groaned, and the sword fell to the ground.

He looked around nervously, there was no one else in the house, and the son on the opposite side did not attack him, he was suddenly attacked, it can be seen that the son in front of him is secretly protected, not to be offended, and hurriedly said: "Childe is offended, this matter is really confidential, Gai must not say it to anyone casually." ”

"Gai Qingtian, known as Gai Qingtian. At the beginning, he fought side by side with the former prince in Shandong to resist the Japanese and became famous. Later, he married the niece of Xiao Daxue, rose step by step, and became the commander of the North China Coastal Guard. Why did you suddenly seem to be a different person? Peacock Island was lost overnight, the villagers of the entire fishing village were slaughtered, many villagers fled with their families, and the coast was desolate, why did you turn a blind eye and ignore it? Is this still the same Gai Qingtian at the beginning?! The boy was indignant and told him what he was doing.

"Say no more!" Gai Qingtian patted the case, his face full of shame: "It's not that Gai doesn't resist, but he can't!" For the sake of my non-resistance, even my daughter ran away from home and ignored me, I am in pain! ”

"Why is that?" The boy asked curiously.

"I can't say it to you. You are not qualified to listen. Gai even wanted to take off this official hat, so that no one could control him, and he could go to the battlefield as a righteous soldier. Even if Gai and the widows die together, it will be happier than now! He said bitterly.

There was admiration in the eyes of the prince, he was testing him just now, and he seemed to be worthy of his reputation and a loyal man.

"Then please take a look at the letter." He suggested in a soft tone.

He took out the letter, unfolded it and read it, a shocked look appeared on his face, his eyes looked up and down at the prince in front of him, and suddenly knelt down on his knees: "Your Highness, the lower official has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it's really damned!" ”

"Is that Hongu qualified to know why you didn't resist?" Zhu Qi's tone softened a little.

"It was the Governor's Office of the Five Armies who secretly ordered the subordinate officials not to send troops." Gai Qingtian answered truthfully.

"What's their reasoning?"

"The secret order says that the target of the Wako is Peacock Island. Peacock Island is full of goblins, and there is nothing wrong with using these goblins to destroy the goblins, we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When those pirates invade our coast, we will not be too late to strike. ”

Zhu Qi's eyes condensed into a fierce light, crooked reasoning and heresy!
