The battle situation at the front was very good, and there was only one step left to defeat the enemy, and everyone in the marshal's tent was full of interest, except for one person who sat quietly in a corner, frowning.

"Now that victory is in sight, why is the eldest brother depressed?" An Ruiqi held the teacup, smiling, and fluttered.

Seeing his leisurely attitude, An Ruixiang sighed. "Hey...... Second brother, since I received the messenger from that day, there has been no news about Xue'er, so how can I not be anxious......" After speaking, he looked at An Ruiqi in distress, hoping to get some comfort.

"I'm afraid that the eldest brother is too worried, and the lack of news does not mean that the matter is still in the hands of that person, after all, it is not easy to pass the letter through the messenger in the army, and if there is no change, that person does not have to bother so much." An Ruiqi took a sip of tea and said leisurely, seeing that he was still silent, he continued: "Big brother is not alone here to worry about, it is better to have fun with everyone, remember that in the past, my father once instructed that it is the duty of a wise general to win people's hearts." ”

"But I'm not sure, I'm really relieved...... If the second brother has any clever plans, don't hide it, and the eldest brother will repay him in the future! An Ruixiang stood up and looked at An Ruiqi with eager eyes, looking immortal in the Yellow River, and he had to come up with an idea for him.

An Ruiqi saw that he had such a deep affection for Ning Xue, and his heart was touched, so he said gently: "Big brother, don't worry, it's incumbent on you to give advice to your eldest brother." The marriage of the two Shangshu lords is a major event in the city, and it is a happy thing, thinking that the messenger returning from the capital is about to arrive at this time, and the eldest brother can find out a little bit of news from his mouth. ”

An Ruixiang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and after thanking him repeatedly, he quickly walked out of the tent and went straight to the messenger camp. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, An Dingguo looked at An Ruiqi suspiciously, but saw An Ruiqi smiling lightly at him, and the clouds were light.

After the reunion, An Ruiqi felt a little tired, and he returned to his tent, which was furnished with a few items, a couch, a long table, one side of which was neatly stacked with a book of soldiers, and on the other side was a topographic map full of markups. In the past, he would always read military books at night, and from time to time he planned strategies against the topographical map, but since the beginning of autumn, the cold wind is bleak, and whenever he goes to a place where the wind blows, he feels a dull pain in his head, afraid that the disease of the head wind will recur. He smiled bitterly, although he has been practicing internal skills for several years, but to this day, he has not been able to completely get rid of this disease, and galloping on the battlefield like a big brother, which is really sad...... That's it...... Do not force anything...... He walked straight to the couch, where he half lay down and rested for a while. By the flickering candlelight, he took out the embroidered brocade bag from his bosom and looked at it intently. Yue'er ...... The war is coming to an end, and I'm going home, do you miss me as much as I miss you? Will you marry me when I return? Thinking of this, he unconsciously showed a knowing smile, and forgot the pain in his head. After quietly looking at the bag for a long time, An Ruiqi was about to take the antelope horn comb out of the bag and play with it, but was interrupted by a shout.

"Second brother! It's a big deal! An Ruixiang violently opened the tent curtain with one hand, rushed in, and looked at An Ruiqi with a serious face.

"Why is the eldest brother so at a loss?" An Ruiqi carefully took the bag back into his arms, half stood up, and looked at his eldest brother leisurely.

"Just now, I went to the messenger camp to look for the messenger who had just returned from the capital, and wanted to inquire about Xue'er, but I was unexpectedly told that Duan Shangshu's son had been murdered and died in the Ning Mansion more than 20 days ago......," An Ruixiang said in a huff.

"Oh? There is such an unbelievable thing, who is so rampant that he dares to kill Duan Shangshu's son in Ning Shangshu's mansion? An Ruiqi smiled lightly after hearing this, and replied calmly.

"This ...... It is said that the suspect was arrested on the spot and is now detained in the government office, and I am afraid that he will be sentenced soon......" An Ruixiang secretly glanced at An Ruiqi with his spare eyes, and did not dare to confide more.

"In this way, although it is a pity, at least for the eldest brother, it can end the worries of many days." After speaking, An Ruiqi turned his head to look at An Ruixiang, but saw that he was full of sadness, bowed his head and said nothing, and did not see the intention of leaving. So I was puzzled, I had never heard of the relationship between the eldest brother and the young master of the Duan family in the past, even if Duan Shangshu lost his son when he was old, it was indeed pitiful, but it was not so melancholy...... "Big brother, do you still have something to explain to me?" An Ruiqi slowly stood up and walked towards An Ruixiang, wanting to ask questions.

An Ruixiang was very entangled in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he saw An Ruiqi standing in front of him, and he knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to whisper: "Big brother...... The eldest brother also inquired about who the suspect was...... It's just that...... The second brother should not be excited after hearing this......"

An Ruiqi was shocked when he heard this, and a heart-rending headache suddenly struck, making his face pale and almost fainting to the ground. Without his explanation, An Ruiqi knew who the suspect was, and in the Ning Mansion, who else could make him worry about him besides Ning Yue!

"It's impossible!" An Ruiqi sat on the couch, held his forehead with his hand, and took a deep breath.

An Ruixiang saw that he was so anxious, and he was very uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to rack his brains, but he couldn't think of half a word of comfort, so he had to sit next to him timidly, not daring to make any movement. He knew very well that although his brother was calm and calm on weekdays, he was very easy to mess up in the face of the things he valued. Second brother, don't you act rashly......

After a long time, An Ruiqi concentrated on adjusting his internal strength, and finally suppressed the severe headache. At this time, I must not mess with my mind, otherwise how to save Yue'er from fire and water! "Big brother, after thinking about it, for the sake of now, the only way to do this is to let me go back as soon as possible and assist in the thorough investigation of this case, so that Yue'er's innocence is feasible."

An Ruixiang was about to speak out against it after hearing this, you need to know that going out on an expedition and leaving wantonly is tantamount to desertion, but after all, he can't resist An Ruiqi's deep gaze and can't bear to say no.

An Ruiqi saw that An Ruixiang was able to betray his principles for himself, his heart warmed, and he said gently: "Big brother, please rest assured, I will not let my father and eldest brother bear the infamy, since I am under the emperor's order, I will have a beginning and an end, but Yue'er's matter is urgent, and now the success or failure of the war is immediate, can the eldest brother help me to solve the battle quickly?" ”

An Ruixiang was overjoyed when he heard this, second brother, you didn't disappoint me after all! He patted his chest vigorously, looked at An Ruiqi firmly and said, "The sword mountain and the sea of fire are not to be resigned!" ”
