Whether he was concerned about Su Yi or wanted to confirm the authenticity of this case, when the military case broke out, Luo Qingluan asked Xu Lian and Xu Wei to immediately investigate the matter. Although Xu Lian and Xu Wei had just gotten married, they would definitely take Luo Qingluan's matter to heart and implement it without hesitation.

Xu Wei was responsible for contacting the people of the Ministry of War, and inquiring about whether Dou Chengtong, the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, had any troublemakers in this matter, as well as the recent movements of several shopkeepers of the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion, etc. And Xu Lian was in charge of the interior of the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion, especially Mrs. Su's actions, and who she had met alone.

Before she had time to investigate this clue in detail, she saw a large number of servants from Dali Temple dispatched on the street, including Zheng Puguang, the secretary of Dali Temple, who brought people to the Chu Palace.

If it weren't for the purpose of taking Luo Qingluan back to investigate, it would not have bothered Dali Siqing to go out in person. After all, before the case was clarified, Luo Qingluan was the identity of the princess of Chu, and this case broke out at the beginning of the emergency military intelligence written back by Nalan Ye, the king of Chu.

Knowing that Dali Temple Qing was on the way here, Luo Qingluan was only puzzled for a moment, and then settled: "Don't panic, after all, I also suggested to her at the beginning of Mrs. Su's matter, if Dali Temple wants to investigate in detail, it's normal to ask me if there is anything." ”

Let Dai Yue put away the pen and paper, Luo Qingluan turned around and walked out of the study towards the main hall, since the other party came with great fanfare, then she would also take the opportunity to act, just to see whether the other party really investigated the case or was entrusted by someone to frame her.

"But Miss ......"

Dai Yue was in a hurry, because Xu Lian was there, she couldn't say some words directly, she only glanced at Luo Qingluan's plump figure, and said without words: "You, don't be too tired, in case your body ...... Alas, or write a letter to the prince......"

Before she finished speaking, she herself felt that it was too late, so she changed her words again: "The prince is too far away, and it is too late, or Miss should tell Your Majesty, how can you be involved in this case, Miss, they must have wronged Miss." ”

If it weren't for Nangong Qing's consent, how could Zheng Puguang, the secretary of Dali Temple, dare to come to the Chu Palace's mansion to take her away?

Luo Qingluan had already guessed the facts, but I was afraid that because of Su Yi, Nangong Qing would have to investigate the matter thoroughly. But she knows that she has a clear conscience, since it is something she has not done, no one should think of wronging her, even if she wants to investigate, it is just a formality.

After changing his clothes, Luo Qingluan was sitting in the hall, but after a while, Zheng Puguang, the secretary of Dali Temple, brought someone here. Luo Qingluan had already ordered to go down, not to block the drive, and to let them in directly.

When Zheng Puguang saw Luo Qingluan, he was still a little weak in his heart.

Regarding Luo Qingluan's affairs, Zheng Puguang didn't deliberately pay attention to it, but he knew a little bit about it.

The queen mother even likes this princess of Chu, and because of the princess Chu's medical skills, she has her own little prince. As for the feelings of the King of Chu, who has never been close to women, for this princess, it can also be seen and cannot be doubted. Even His Majesty today once remembered her, and the rumors of the North Vietnamese Emperor Han Xun and her aroused the jealousy of the Emperor Taishang, so much so that it triggered an even more unpredictable mutiny......

Although this princess of Chu looks young, she is a character who is not easy to mess with, even if Zheng Puguang is in the spirit of discernment, when he sees Luo Qingluan with his own eyes, there is still something unspeakably strange in his heart.

As far as he knew, this case was urgently raised by the King of Chu for 800 miles, with a questioning tone and the meaning of strict investigation, and the parties involved in the case included the military procurer of the Ministry of War, and the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, Dou Chengtong. It was even later discovered that there was also Mrs. Su of the Marquis of Weiyang who provided supplies, that is to say, it was about the queen's mother.

But after the case was investigated, Princess Luo Qingluan of Chu was implicated again, and it was the people from the princess's mansion who caught the absconding Boss Liu and confessed, the matter is getting more and more complicated, more and more people are implicated, and it is becoming more and more difficult to provoke. Even though Zheng Puguang was determined to handle it impartially, when he knew that all the people involved in this case had a lot of backgrounds, especially the princess of Chu in front of him, he was really a little apprehensive.

"I have seen the princess of Chu, Zheng Puguang, the official of Dali Temple, and thoroughly investigated the military quartermaster case by His Majesty's holy order." Facing Luo Qingluan, who was sitting at the top, Zheng Puguang had a feeling of going up and down for the first time, and he was not so confident in speaking, "Now there are some situations that require Princess Chu to cooperate with the investigation, and I also ask Princess Chu to go back to Dali Temple with us." ”

This was said with great anxiety, and Zheng Puguang was even prepared for Luo Qingluan to turn his face and deny people, and directly asked a group of palace guards to tie him up and send him to His Majesty to ask for guilt. After all, the person he was going to take away was the princess of Chu, the famous concubine of King Leng, besides, the king of Chu is still fighting on the front line, but he took the princess of Chu away later to investigate, and he didn't know about it, and the anger would burn on his head.

Zheng Puguang was really embarrassed, and wanted to come to the King of Chu to be angry and ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the matter in order to give an explanation to the officers and men in the army, but who knew that when the matter was found out, the princess of Chu was implicated? If the King of Chu knew in advance, I'm afraid that this matter is another situation, right?

"Okay, I'm sorry for Lord Zheng to come in person, the military case is very important, Lord Zheng must find out clearly, and I will naturally fully cooperate." After speaking, Luo Qingluan stood up, and there was no displeasure at all.

Finally came back to his senses, Zheng Puguang gave up his hand again and again, and his back was already a little sweaty: "Thank you Princess Chu, this official is just bothering Princess Chu to cooperate with the investigation and routinely ask some information, Princess Chu don't worry." ”

Dai Yue helped Luo Qingluan to go down, and said: "Please take care of our princess, the princess is not very well, if someone in Dali Temple dares to be disrespectful to the princess, something goes wrong, and when the prince comes back, I am afraid that Lord Zheng will not be able to deal with him." ”

"Yes, yes, there will never be such a thing, Princess Chu can rest assured." In the face of a maid's words, Zheng Puguang was cautious and didn't dare to be angry.

"Princess Chu, please." He said respectfully.

Soon, the main gate of the Chu Palace, under the eyes of everyone, the princess of Chu Luo Qingluan got into her own carriage, Zheng Puguang, the secretary of Dali Temple, led people to walk behind, and the group soon went towards Dali Temple.

It was the first time to see such a majestic suspect, and everyone was talking and pointing, and soon all kinds of rumors spread, and everyone was in the clouds.

……

In the Beiyue Palace, Bai Yixuan finally waited for the best opportunity to get off the phone. Soon, a group of people secretly left North Vietnam, and after seven or eight days, they finally made a detour to the border city of Sulang on the border with Western Chu.

Pei Liao has been blaming himself for a while, if it weren't for his negligence, he wouldn't have failed to check that there was a problem with that batch of military supplies. Although no one wanted this to happen, and Pei Liao was not blamed above, he himself knew how much damage he had caused because of his negligence.

Thousands of his comrades endured frostbite from the bitter cold, and the plan of the king of Chu also failed, and although the counteroffensive the next day still defeated the North Vietnamese reinforcements from Puning, it suffered more than 3,000 casualties as a result, which made Pei Liao deeply guilty.

If he had checked more carefully and carefully, what would not have happened later. It's a pity that everything is a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to regret it. If it weren't for the fact that this was in the barracks, Pei Liao would have borrowed wine to kill his sorrows a long time ago, and he would forget about it if he got drunk, but unfortunately, he could only be full of torment and blame himself for himself.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Pei Liao, who was the highest-ranking person in the battalion, personally led the troops to patrol at night. Countless people persuaded him, but Pei Liao didn't listen, only thinking that he could relieve some guilt, and he had been patrolling in person for five days.

The city was almost empty, and most of the North Vietnamese people in the city had migrated at the beginning, and then there were fewer and fewer people, and more and more deserted, and the few remaining people also changed their minds and followed them to Ninghai. Now, there are 30,000 Western Chu soldiers led by Pei Liao in the entire Shuqian City, who are still in charge of logistics.

Under the night, the fluttering snowflakes have become smaller, and the snow foam accumulates with the cold wind and falls from the sky, and under the glow of the firelight, it is like a white star, falling on the body and hair, and it will also dye people white.

There was a fire around the tent, and the people stationed in the city lord's mansion naturally did not need to light the fire, but those who stayed outside the city were inevitable. The piles of fires were golden and dazzling, and sometimes burst into crackling and exploding sounds, which made people somewhat infected with the temperature of the firelight.

"Under this snow, alas, it is always non-stop, and the sky in North Vietnam is really cold and dead!" In the distance, several soldiers gathered, stomping their feet and whining.

"No, this North Vietnamese winter is simply not human." Someone immediately chimed in.

Pei Liao was fully armed, wearing leather armor, a long sword hanging from his waist, and holding an iron-headed silver spear of pear blossom wood in his hand. The words of these subordinates drifted into his ears with the wind and could be heard clearly, but he didn't care, but smiled bitterly.

Although the city has been occupied by them for almost a month, it is quite safe, and even if you don't patrol at night, there will be no accidents. However, Pei Liao strictly implemented the military order, and did not allow himself to be negligent, and he was even more strict with himself in the matter of military quartermasters.

But for the soldiers below, he still turned a blind eye.

The night is the hardest, and it is cold and tired, if you don't find something to do, just on the alert patrol, I am afraid that it will not take an hour or two to doze off. All these people are chatting and bragging, Pei Liao never cares, as long as people are awake, there is basically no big incident.

A snowflake flew into his neck, and the irritated Pei Liao suddenly became excited, he shook his neck, tightened his spear again, shook his head with a smile, and was about to walk around and go to patrol other places. Who knows, there seemed to be a strange sound in the darkness, which was particularly obvious, and he suddenly turned his head to stare into the distance where he couldn't see his fingers, with a look of alarm.

It was facing the direction of Xichu, there were no shrubs in the open, the heavy snow had already buried all the rocks and gravel, and the creaking sound seemed to be the sound of someone stepping on the snow one deep and one shallow, and it was approaching this side.

"Someone!"

Pei Liao let out a dull voice, and a murderous aura suddenly erupted in his eyes.

At this time, no one should have appeared at all, even those North Vietnamese who had left their dreams and headed for Western Chu would not be able to come back at this point. Therefore, it is absolutely suspicious that someone will appear at this time and in such a place!

Pei Liao's voice immediately attracted the attention of the others, and immediately a team of people rushed over, several of them were around him, and a few of them drew their long swords and aimed them forward, dealing with the sneak attack that might appear at any time.

"Go and see what the hell is going on. Be careful! ”

At the sound of an order, seven or eight of his men cautiously walked forward, slowly blending into the night. But after a while, a voice came from the front: "Chief, it's a woman, it's quite beautiful, and there is another one who looks like a guard, and they all fainted......"

Woman? Or a pretty woman?

Pei Liao suddenly wondered, this small city is still in the middle of the war, how can there be a beautiful woman? Strong suspicions suddenly popped up, could it be a spy? He immediately rushed over, and sure enough, he saw a young woman lying on the snow.
