Jiang Xiren looked at her ridiculous gaze and smiled helplessly, this was the first time that anyone dared to laugh with him like this, and the other party was still a seven-year-old girl, and she was her niece, and she wanted to have a seizure, but she couldn't raise the slightest anger.

"Three days ago, I asked Ling Shan to go to Sanguan City to check on the Jiang Mansion's business there, but I didn't want her to come back yet, and today I got the news of the heavy losses there, what does my uncle think?"

She withdrew her gaze and sat down leisurely, her eyes contemplative, her face not as relaxed as before.

"Ling Shan? You let her go there? I said why didn't I see her, she was sent by me to protect your safety, and it was really inappropriate for you to send her away like this. ”

"How can you not understand your uncle's thoughts? It's just that this matter is not for her to do, it has to be someone else, and if she goes, she will have a greater grasp. ”

"It seems that you expected that something would go wrong in Sanguan City."

"I didn't expect it early, but I just thought that Warat wouldn't be peaceful this year, and something happened to my grandfather, so I was a little worried."

"Xiwarat is located in the grassland, and this year is the dry season, and the cattle and sheep there look fine at present, but as soon as winter comes, both people and livestock will starve."

"That's what I thought of that led to this bold conjecture."

She looked at him solemnly, her eyes were blazing, although it was conjecture, but her eyes were full of confidence.

When he heard this, his heart was shocked, it was not that he hadn't thought about it, but that the Jiang family was just a merchant family, and he had always stayed away from this kind of thing, even if he really had any ideas, it would definitely support the Celestial Empire, but now that he thought about it, wealth would be coveted by any country.

In particular, the Jiang family's business is mostly concentrated in Daimyo, Bingzhou, and Sanguan City, although other places are involved, compared with here, it is only one-tenth of the business of Jiang Fu, and Sanguan City is the closest to Yulin Pass.

"Sixth Miss, Ling Shan is back!"

Yi Han walked in, she has not eased up until now, before she was waiting for Miss to return in Ruyiju, but she didn't expect to walk in a woman in red with a scar on her face, her face was immediately frightened, but in the end, she also experienced something, and quickly calmed down, and then asked to know that her name is Ling Shan, and now she is by Miss's side, and there is something important to report when she comes back from this trip; She thought of Ling Yi beside her uncle, so she chose to believe it and came to look for it.

"Let her come here!" She said without moving.

Jiang Xiren looked at her very regretfully, if this was a man, he would be a shocking talent, but it was a woman, even if she had the ability to shock the world, she could only stay in the inner house, which was a pity.

"See Miss, Young Master!" Ling Shan came anxiously, but she didn't forget that now she was Qingyan's subordinate, so she met her master first, and then the young master of the Jiang family in the back; Jiang Xiren nodded secretly in this regard, and saw that she was very respectful to Qingyan, and secretly said in her heart: It is worthy of Yan'er, and such a hard bone can be surrendered.

"Get up! What did you find along the way? Let's talk about them one by one! ”

"Yes!"

Ling Shan pondered for a moment and slowly said what she had encountered along the way, it turned out that she had already heard some news on the way to Sanguan City, so she hurried day and night, but it was still too late, when she arrived, all the Jiang family's shops in Sanguan City were looted, whether it was gold, silver or grain, there was nothing left;

Almost at the same time, she heard that all the caravans of the Jiang family had been robbed, she hurried there, saw the corpses in one place, and then followed the traces left by the robbers, and finally found that the people who robbed the caravan were actually a group of Warats pretending to be members of the Celestial Empire, and their leader was actually - Jade.

"What do you say? Jadeite? ”

Jiang Xiren was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and then sat down again, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Go on!"

"When the subordinates saw that it was from another country, they felt that there must be something strange in it, so they didn't dare to act without permission, for fear of startling the grass and snakes, so they came back first, but they had already sent people to watch along the way, and as long as there was wind and grass, they would report back to the Jiang family."

"Stand down!"

Qingyan waved his hand, looked at his uncle who was in deep thought, sighed and stood up, looking in the direction of Yulin Pass:

"Uncle, the Jiang Mansion has lost 100,000 taels of silver, and the grain has not yet been counted, plus the soldiers of the Warat State are strong and strong, it is still possible to support them to go to war for a month, it seems that there will be a war at the border pass."

"It's just - I didn't expect Jade to be from Warat, so she, it should be, this matter still has to be notified to my father, if I don't make a decision, Jiang Fu will probably be crowned with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

Qingyan was silent, this matter was a family affair of the Jiang Mansion, and it involved her grandfather's private affairs, and now that the matter was getting bigger, she believed that they would make the right choice, so she gave a slight salute, walked out of the barrier pavilion, and went to Ruyi with Ling Shan and Yihan who were waiting outside.

Yulin Pass

Chang Tianyou, Chang Wei, and Yuan Ruyi used pseudonyms to enter the barracks, starting from small soldiers, at this time, the three of them were guarding the pass, looking at the endless grassland outside the pass, they were very shocked, this was the first time they saw such a vast grassland.

"Do you say that the group of people who left the border yesterday are really merchants between the two countries?" Yuan Ruyi thought about the group of people who seemed to be nouveau riche yesterday, but had a strong physique that was different from ordinary people, and felt very suspicious.

"Of course not." Chang Tianyou's tone was slightly solemn, without the excitement and shock at the beginning.

"What?"

"There's nothing surprising to do, if it's true, it's the Warats." Chang Wei glanced at him like an idiot.

"Then you still ...... Let them pass? He was startled, and at last he looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to it, and his voice was much quieter.

"How to stop it? Although the two countries are enemy countries, they are in a state of acquiescence to this kind of business that communicates with each other, even if their identities are exposed, it cannot be said that they have malicious intentions, not to mention that they have never said that they are from the Celestial Empire, but they are just wearing Celestial Empire clothes, this kind of thing also happens from time to time in Warat, it is not unusual, and we have only been in the military camp for a few days, and people are soft-spoken, and no one will believe it at all. ”

"I see, that's fine, I thought I was really going to ......"

"War is coming, so be ready."

Before Yuan Ruyi's breath was released, he was speechless for a long time by Chang Tianyou's sudden words.

"Indeed, the war is coming, don't be that guts deserter!" Chang Wei sneered and patted him on the shoulder.

Ruyi Ju

As soon as Qingyan came to the main courtyard, he saw the people of Jiang Mansion hurrying over with Qingning, who had already met with Jiang Xiren in the famous city and returned to Qingzhou Mansion. Seeing this, she smiled faintly and brightly, and then entered the main room.

"Madam, the old lady asked you to go back, the old lady is seriously ill!"

Jiang Yingyue was stunned, seriously ill? Isn't the body tough? Why did you suddenly get sick?

"Mother-"

"Yan'er, you're here!"

"Hmmm! Mother, my grandmother is seriously ill, let's go back! Maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother have an uncle here, and Yun Fei, there will be nothing more. There was a smile between her eyebrows, and it was impossible to see through her thoughts.

"Good! Then I'll be back tomorrow! ”

She touched her childish hair lovingly, although she didn't know what this daughter was thinking about, but she knew that no matter what her plans were, the starting point must be for this family.

The next day, Jiang Yingyue and her parents resigned, and the group went out of the city under the escort of Jiang Xiren, and then said goodbye to him, and set off to Qingzhou Mansion under the escort of Qingning and Qing'an.

However, what they didn't expect was that the road should have been smooth but there were many more people who fled, and after inquiry, they learned that last night, the country of Wara suddenly launched a war, and the soldiers guarding the pass were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Qingyan's face was heavy, although she expected that there would be a war, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, that life, there was no such battle, so for this, she did not have any preparations, and now she is on the way back to Qingzhou, these fleeing people do not know whether there will be a mob, if there is, I am afraid that my side of the female family will suffer, but if you want to go back, it is too late, besides, the old lady is seriously ill, it is reasonable, her own side has to go back, otherwise if the charge of unfilial piety is deducted, the mother's life will be even more sad.

Yulin Pass

Chang Tianyou fought bloodily, and his fierce and cruel fighting style made both the enemies of Warat and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire feel extremely cold.

I saw that he was holding a steel knife, and every move fell with the stump and head of the enemy, and on both sides of him stood Chang Wei and Yuan Ruyi, the three of them cooperated seamlessly, killing all sides in the enemy's army, and it can be said that he was the main force in the battle of Yulin Pass.

If it weren't for the desperate fighting of these three people, this would have been broken at dawn, and now it was the middle of the day, the battle lasted all night, both the enemy and us were exhausted, and Yulin Pass was still firmly in the hands of the Celestial Empire, and General Wara saw that the best time had passed, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

The officers and men of the Kannai were relieved, but their spirits could not be relaxed, because they all knew that a more difficult war was coming.

On the other side, Ji Mingchen, the captain of Yulin, had already written down the situation one by one in the folds, and sent it to Yingtian in the capital in an urgent manner for 800 miles.

Chang Tianyou stood on the wall of Yulin Pass, looking at the Wara camped thousands of kilometers outside the pass, his face became more and more gloomy, the other party has 300,000 strong soldiers and strong horses, but his own side only has 50,000 guards and orders, and he has been damaged by three percent before, like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and walked straight to the Captain's Mansion.

"What are you going to do? Let's not forget that our identities cannot be revealed. Yuan Ruyi pulled him into the corner and said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to ask for a meeting in my own capacity."

"Then you-"

"Warat came prepared, and he wouldn't give us time to wait for reinforcements at all, so Jinzhiji could only take the initiative to attack, burn their grain and grass, and force them to retreat."

"You're right, of course, but who can do that? There are 100,000 troops outside the gate, and the grain and grass are surrounded in the middle, how difficult is it to burn the grain and grass? ”

Although Yuan Ruyi is a gentleman, he is not a teenager who doesn't know anything, especially along the way, even Chang Wei is deeply impressed by his changes, so they are not surprised by these remarks.

"I have my own way!"

"What can you do? With a bow and arrow? They were stationed a kilometer away, beyond the reach of a bow and arrow. ”

"Don't worry, I won't joke with my life, at this time the war has started, it is a great opportunity for you and me to make military achievements, as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, not to mention that I am very sure of this!"

patted him on the shoulder, and then pushed away the standing guard who was blocking in front of him, striding forward, Yu Shouwei said a few words, and saw that the soldiers of the house hurriedly ran towards the house, and after a while, Chang Tianyou was invited into the house.
