After the fire was extinguished, the more Chu Lixue thought about it, the more wrong it became, although the weather had been dry in recent days, but Taiping was guarded by soldiers, how could it suddenly catch fire? And the fire is out of control, so there is only one answer, someone deliberately set fire to the fire.

"Wanyue, you go and keep an eye on it, wait until everyone is gone, and come back to inform me."

"Princess, you ......"

"I'm going to go to the scene to investigate, I think this fire is very weird, it's snowing heavily, how did this fire start? With such a big snowfall, a small flame can be extinguished in an instant, so I don't believe that an oil lamp is accidentally lit or anything like that. ”

"Yes, princess, the slave and maid will go and stare at it secretly." After speaking, Wanyue turned around and walked out the door.

After about an hour, I saw Wanyue hurrying back, "Princess, everyone has dispersed, and the scene is a mess, do you really want to go over?" ”

From the time Chu Lixue said that she suspected the cause of the fire, she knew that the princess was going to the scene to investigate in person, but this snowy day was the scene after the fire, so I was afraid that it was not safe.

"You must go, if it is past tonight, I am afraid the evidence will be annihilated." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.

At this time, where can she Chu Lixue think more, if she delays for a minute more, there is a possibility that the evidence will be annihilated, for the sake of King Chen, who is far ahead, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and for the safety of the people of Cloud City, she must not ignore it. Thinking of this, Chu Lixue picked up the cloak and went out with the remnant snow and the waning moon, the fewer people there were, the less noticeable the target was.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, Chu Lixue tightened the cloak on her body, followed the remnants of snow and the waning moon in the snowy night, and when she came to the vicinity of Taiping, she saw a mess of land, the footprints on the ground were messy, the burnt wood, and there was still curling smoke, and there was a smell of mold during the period.

When I walked in, I saw that all the items inside had been burned, leaving only a few corners of the sacks.

"Princess, this fire is so clean, nothing is left." Wanyue said lightly.

"Not necessarily." Chu Lixue smiled and said lightly. Immediately, Chu Lixue walked to a corner and saw the remnants of some weeds and sand.

"Princess, how can there be weeds and sand in this granary?" Remnant Xue also discovered something strange.

"It seems that someone transferred the grain in advance, and then set fire to this granary, so that the soldiers in front of them will have no grain and grass, if there is no grain and grass, our army will be defeated, and at that time, the enemy army will break in, and the lives will be ruined, and it is inevitable that the people will suffer." Chu Lixue frowned.

"Princess, what should I do? Now what about the prince's grain and grass? Wanyue said anxiously. They all understand the power of this, the hateful Nangong Anyi, what to do at this time, it is really unconscionable.

"Rean Xue, you quickly report to Ye Wushuang and ask him to send someone to secretly protect this place, I want to find out where the food is in the shortest possible time and uncover their skin masks."

The Cold Moon Palace naturally has their way of transmitting information, and it only takes an hour to do it, Ye Wushuang personally rushed over with someone, looking at the little granary that was burned, Ye Wushuang who paid attention to his image couldn't help but burst into foul language, "Damn, which bastard did it?" Burning the granary, is it to kill the soldiers at the border? ”

"Wushuang, it seems that you have to work hard and help me find out where this grain goes." Chu Lixue said lightly.

"This investigation is definitely going to be checked, but I look like it was all prepared in advance, and now there is no clue where this grain is."

"Let's go back and talk about it, I'm afraid there are still eyeliner left here, in case the partition wall has ears." Chu Lixue said lightly.

The group returned to King Chen's Mansion, and Chu Lixue asked people to tidy up Jinhuaxuan for Ye Wushuang to live in.

"Lixue, now the person in charge of the household department is Zhou Xiang, he is the mother and daughter of the Bai family, and he is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Bai."

"Oh? It turns out that there is still this relationship. "Although Chu Lixue knows that the Bai family also has concubines, but I heard that the concubines of the Bai family all live in the Cheng'en Mansion, and the concubines have long been separated, so it can be seen that this concubine is not close to the concubine, will Zhou Xiang throw himself out because he helped the Empress Dowager Bai? You must know that if anyone finds any clues, the Empress Dowager Bai will definitely kill him to block the mouth of the world.

"That's right, and I've heard that he bought a new yard before they set out on their expedition, and maybe the grain was transferred there."

"Lord Ye Zun, since that's the case, then let's go to their new courtyard and find out the grain?" Ning Xiang said in surprise.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang glanced at Ning Xiang, "You girl, why don't you use your brain?" Not to mention that the newly bought yard is already inhabited, even if it is an empty yard that no one lives in, if there is so much official food hidden, don't you send people to watch it? ”

"Ah...... So what to do? Didn't so much of the official food be eaten by these big rats? ”

"Ning Xiang girl, you don't have to worry, your princess is so smart, she will definitely have a perfect way." Ye Wushuang looked at Chu Lixue and said with a smile.

Chu Lixue's intelligence, he has seen it with his own eyes, such a small thing will definitely not stump her, maybe he can take the opportunity to step on the Bai family a few more times.

"Wushuang, don't think too well of me, what if I disappoint you?"

"No, it won't."

"Hehe, okay, then I'll do my best. Just wait for news from the remnants now. Chu Lixue took a sip of tea.

Ning Xiang scratched her head, she really didn't understand, what kind of dumb riddle the princess and Ye Wushuang were playing, but seeing that the two of them were confident, they thought they already had a countermeasure.

The winter night is cold, and the soldiers guarding the city of Yunxia Pass stand on the city wall in the face of the wind and snow to protect the peace of the side. King Chen, Shangguan Tianyu and Xiao Yao, looking at the amount of grain and grass reported, the faces of the three of them were solemn.

"What does the emperor mean, after so many days, the grain and grass have not been delivered, do you want the soldiers to fight for him hungry?" Xiao Yao pounded the table hard.

"General Xiao, don't be angry, this matter can't be known to the people and soldiers in the city, if you know, it will mess up the hearts of the people and the army." Shangguan Tianyu said lightly.

"Yihan, what do we do now? Is the message I received in the morning true? ”

"Tianyu, it's true, Wushuang sent news that last night there was a fire in Taiping, and all the grain was burned down."

Hearing this, Xiao Yao couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't send grain and grass, and now even the granary of the official grain has been burned, is it that the sky is going to kill their Beichen? "Lord Wang, if Taiping is burned, then soon the people and soldiers in the city will know, this is not a trivial matter."

"Well, yes, at the moment, we can only let the people eat first, if not, we will go to the Zizhi County next door to buy, the most important thing at present is to let the people and soldiers eat enough, we really can't go up the mountain to hunt some game and come back."

It is said that it is to go up to the mountains to hunt game to eat, where is it so easy, it is now a cold winter, most of the animals in the mountains and rivers have long hibernated, even if some do not need to hibernate, they will not come out of their own caves.

"yes, I see." Shangguan Tianyu said lightly.

Chu Lixue was in Cloud City, but her heart had already flown to the border pass, looking at the snow falling from the sky, thinking that the border pass would be even more bitterly cold.

"Princess, it's so late, you should rest early, the lord has been sending people to keep an eye on Zhou Xiang these days." Rean Xue comforted.

"Remnant Xue, tomorrow you and Wanyue will go to a nearby farmer's house to buy some to raise back, the weather is cold, the prince is short of food and grass, send some sheep over, they can stew meat and drink soup, in this season, drinking sheep soup is very warm." Chu Lixue said lightly.

She is in Cloud City, she can't do anything, the food has not been accounted for until now, and the people who went to follow Zhou Xiang found that he had not been in contact with any special people at all, let alone went to see any food, could it be that she was wrong? Is the grain really burned?

No, no, there must be something that made them overlooked, as long as they find the place where they missed, maybe it will really be clear.

In the early morning of the next day, Wanyue and Rean Xue went to a nearby farmer to buy more than a dozen sheep and came back, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate, "What are you going to do with so many sheep?" ”

"My princess is weak, and the doctor said that she would use mutton stewed Dong'e Ejiao to eat to replenish qi and blood." Remnant Xue said lightly.

"Your princess?" The soldiers guarding the city circled around the remnant snow and the waning moon.

"My princess is Princess Chen, if you don't believe me, you can follow me to have a look." Wanyue said coldly.

"Hmph, Princess Chen? Where did your princess eat so many sheep alone, you brought back one enough for her to eat, and the rest was for the uncles to enjoy. With that, he instructed a few soldiers around him to come forward and snatch it.

Because of Chu Lixue's orders, Remnant Xue and Remnant Moon didn't dare to use martial arts, but they didn't use martial arts, they just simply competed with them, that didn't work, the other party was overwhelmed, what could they do if they were two weak women?

When he was hesitating about whether to use martial arts, he heard Chu Lixue scolding coldly, "Bastard, you dare to rob other people's things." ”

"Yo, it turned out to be the princess, King Chen is not at home, it's better not to show your face as a woman."

"The matter of this concubine, when will it be your turn to be an outsider to put the beak."

"Princess Chen, King Chen is going to the battlefield, there is no food and grass, maybe he will be starved to death without fighting, you princess's shelf still doesn't need to be placed, it's better to coax a few brothers to be happy, it's such a cold day, it's good to give you a warm quilt." After that, the hands of the officers and soldiers defending the city were about to touch Chu Lixue's face.

Hearing only a scream, Chu Lixue's face was splashed with a few drops of blood, and then looking at the ground, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were already holding bloody hands and howling.

"How dare you touch her with your dirty hands? Tell you, King Chen is not only fine, but will definitely win and triumph, you still think about what he will do with you when you see King Chen. Ye Wushuang said coldly.

"You are not a man, a woman is not a woman, you follow Princess Chen's ass all day long, you shouldn't be her concubine."

"The deity sees that you are tired of being alive." Then he raised his sword and killed the officer and soldier.

"Slow...... Slow ......, don't kill me, I know the whereabouts of the grain and grass. In a hurry, the officers and soldiers blurted out.
