Xia Ye thought about it and walked out, walking as he went; "I'll go to my father's, and my sister will go back first!"

He was going to ask what this rumor was all about, and who had spread it.

Xia Li also wanted to go with him, but when she thought of her brother's attitude just now, she had no choice but to follow behind after this person walked a short distance.

Seeing her brother Xia Ye enter her father's study, she and Chu Han also sat down by the back wall outside the study.

How could she forget that she could hear it, and if she meditated a short distance outside the house, she could basically hear the voices inside.

Chu Han looked at Miss and said puzzledly: "Miss, why are you sitting here?" ”

Xia Li said there: "Shh, I want to wait here for my brother to come out, if you don't want to sit here, you can sit there"

Chu Han said there: "Then I'll stay here with Miss and wait for the young master to come out."

Xia Li didn't say any more, she listened carefully to the excitement inside, and she heard her brother go in and say directly:

"Father, there are bad rumors in Beijing today, is anyone doing it on purpose?"

Xia Zhi'an said there: "That's true, when he came out of the palace, Jing Zhaoyin had already gone to investigate the matter."

Natsuba is in that way; "Father, I don't think things are right in the northwest, there are just two Chicheng lost on that side, and there are such rumors in the capital, do you say that it was done by barbarians?"

Xia Zhi'an walked around the ground twice and said: "This is indeed possible, but it can't be guaranteed, after all, the distance between the northwest and the capital is not close, and how this news came is still to be discussed."

Xia Ye nodded there, "That's right, but today the number of troops in the northwest is about 300,000, and the barbarians are only 100,000, is this true?" If so, then the defeat of the Northwest is not accidental, someone must have done something"

Xia Zhi'an also thought so, and said there: "The emperor has figured out this matter, so he ordered someone to investigate, but I see that the result is not far from ten."

"Why is my father so sure?" Natsuba didn't quite understand.

Xia Zhi'an said there: "Last time, the king's privy counsellor said that the northwest framed the treasury of silver and lied about the number of people, and at that time he brought it up and asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly, but other things were delayed, and now it is impossible to investigate the number of people in detail, after all, there is a war, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is dead."

Xia Ye said in disbelief: "How could General Nanming do this? Over the years, I haven't heard any bad rumors about him, he has been in the northwest for nearly 20 years, and he has been managing very dedicatedly, and Erchen feels that this matter cannot be done by General Nanming, and there must be a spy who is obstructing it."

Xia Zhi'an knew that his son had made another tendon, and said there: "How is it impossible, or why would he have suffered a defeat today, if there are really 300,000 people, I don't believe that he will not be able to defeat the 100,000 barbarian army, even if the barbarian army has experienced harm, it is impossible to explain it with one enemy and one hundred."

Xia Ye said there: "If you fall for the enemy's tricks, you don't know, after all, General Nanming has been dutiful and loyal all these years, how can he lie about the number of people to deceive the treasury and silver, maybe this time the battle went out of the situation is an accident, after all, the barbarians have been strong and strong over the years, and they are good at riding and shooting, how can our army be its opponent, and defeat is not impossible"

Xia Zhi'an heard this and said angrily: "Bastard, how can you raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige"

Xia Ye didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his analysis, he just talked about the facts, and in that way:

"Erchen is just talking about things, and he is not targeting anyone"

"Your statement is not objective at all, and the analysis is unreasonable" Xia Zhi'an was really angry.

Xia Ye didn't say anything when he saw that his father was really angry, and muttered there, "I just think it's impossible for General Nanming, he's not that kind of person."

Xia Zhi'an said angrily: "You know what kind of person he is, how much do you know about him"

Xia Ye didn't reply, he wanted to think about the scene when he first met General Nanming on the street when he was a child.

At that time, it was General Nanming's triumphant return, and the streets were crowded with thousands of people, and almost all the people in the capital were waiting for General Nanming's arrival.

Xia Ye ran out with the little guy and waited for a long time before he saw the returning army.

He saw that the person in front was wearing shining armor, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall posture, riding a tall horse under his crotch, and a handsome face in a military outfit, which made the girl on the street crazy.

At that time, he didn't know that he was General Nanming.

He kept his eyes on the orderly march of the man in front of the group.

But just when everyone was fascinated and looked at this handsome general, it stopped suddenly because of an old man who fell halfway.

Everyone thought that this ragged old man would die in front of the horse, but they didn't expect General Nanming to get off the horse and personally help the person up and said: "Uncle should be careful when crossing the road, don't break your legs and feet."

At this time, everyone shouted from their hearts, "Look at General Nanming, kind-hearted General Nanming!" ”

Although Xia Ye was young at that time, it was from then on that he remembered this handsome Nanming general in his heart, a good person, heroic, and loving, and he has always remembered this person until now.

Xia Zhi'an didn't know this, he was an old minister, and he just analyzed them one by one based on the things in front of him.

And Natsuha got it based on his previous impression of this person, so he felt from his heart that General Nan Ming was a good person and couldn't do anything wrong.

Xia Zhi'an snorted angrily, and no longer fought hard with his son, he knew that unless he saw the truth with his own eyes, he would not change.

Zai said angrily: "Hmph, no one will talk to you about this anymore, and you will have your own judgment whether it is true or false." But you can only judge a person in such an arbitrary way, and you can only suffer from it."

Xia Ye was not convinced, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Let's go to the palace and see how it goes?"

Xia Zhi'an was uneasy, he didn't know what the situation was in the northwest, and he always felt unsure.

At this time, Xia Li, who was eavesdropping outside, heard the footsteps of the two coming out, and hurriedly called Chu Han to the side, looking like he had just walked from the house to this side.

It didn't take long for Xia Zhi'an and Xia Ye to come out of it.

She pretended to be puzzled and ran over and said, "Father, brother, are you going out again?" ”

Xia Zhi'an nodded, "Well, I heard that you went out again in the morning"

Xia Li was asked by his father and said in a low voice: "My daughter is worried about you, so she ......."

"If we're worried, let's save some snacks, don't think about running outside all day, don't you know what's going on outside? Everyone is panicking, in case there is a gangster who molerates you and picks on a girl's house, how can it be good, you are not allowed to go out from today onwards, and let me hear that you are disobedient and sneak away, be careful in the future, I will ask someone to lock people up."

Xia Zhi'an now feels more and more that this daughter is not worrying, she is not obedient at all, and she always thinks about going out, in case of any dangerous things, how can a girl be good?

Xia Li said without the slightest fear: "Father, don't worry!" They can't beat me! If it's dangerous, I won't go."
