Orange Hong had a long face in front of her own lady and Cui Zhenyi, and went in a hurry, and in less than half an hour, she hurriedly came back to report that the two generals had arrived, and also instructed Shi Wei to ask Bai Poria to talk.

Cui Zhenyi's face sank when she heard this, she didn't want to face Bai Poria face to face, so she said to Tang Hong: "You go and inquire about what they said." ”

Orange Red took three steps and two steps and ran out again.

In the hall of the main hall in the front yard, the atmosphere of the meeting between Bu Jiao, Shan Daogen and Bai Poria was friendly and warm, and they were talking about the spy who wanted to open the city gate and let the barbarians into the city yesterday.

"I really didn't expect that Galangal, that bastard, who is silent on weekdays, would run away to be a spy for the barbarians! That guy has been under Lao Tzu for several years, and Lao Tzu didn't even see that he was a wolf-hearted bastard! Fortunately, the eldest lady was shrewd and caught him, hum! Otherwise, not to mention the chaos in this city, Lao Tzu would have to be affected by him. Bu Jiao was both angry and happy.

Shan Daogen laughed and slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "You guy's lucky, just in time for the eldest lady to be in the city." But Miss, how do you know that bastard is a spy? He also sent him to guard the city gates. ”

Bai Poria took a slow sip of tea and said, "Because his acting skills are not superb enough, he has done too much in acting." ”

"From the analysis of the two adults, I know that the barbarians suddenly came to attack Beiguan City abnormally, there must be some doorways, the simplest and most direct way is to cooperate with the outside and open the city gate, this is the general is not in the city, as long as they enter the city, after a loot, they can leave calmly, even if the general comes back, they can't catch up. So the person who is most likely to go wrong is the person in charge of guarding the city gates. The barbarian must be a gatekeeper or a person who can openly operate around the city gate in order to complete the task. Things started in a hurry, the goalkeeper was selected temporarily, and it was not so simple for the spies to get in. ”

The two of them nodded again and again when they heard this, and even the maids such as Bai Guo beside Bai Poria could also hear it.

"These galangals must also know in their hearts, so he tried his best to become one of the goalkeepers, and he suddenly came to intercept and inspect my convoy, and for this reason, he wanted to try to make a big deal about it to increase his chances of being selected. Guarding the city gate requires calm and meticulous strict execution of orders, while mobilizing personnel and materials requires familiarity with the situation in Beiguan City and being good at dealing with people. He knew who I was, and insisted on searching my carriage, just to show everyone that he was a man who faithfully carried out orders and was not afraid of power or favoritism. ”

"Think about it, no matter what he says, he is also a general, except for the two adults in Beiguan City now, there is no one with a higher official position than him, how can it be his turn to search suspicious carriages and interrogate relevant people? Isn't he a dog meddling with a mouse? ”

When Lilac heard this, she couldn't help but say, "What if he is not a spy and is really a strict and serious person?" Isn't that the fault of the good guys? ”

"Of course, this is also possible......" Bai Poria put down the teacup and looked around at the people in the hall, knowing that everyone had some doubts in their hearts, because others did the right thing, but they doubted him, isn't this a bit too hasty? This time it was a blind cat and a dead mouse, but what about the next time? It is easy to become a persecutor of the faithful.

"That's why I said that his acting skills were too poor and he was overdoing it. If you're worried that someone is hiding in my wagon, where will you check? Bai Poria asked.

Lilac replied: "Of course, look inside the carriage!" ”

Bai Guo thought for a while and said, "The bottom of the car and the roof of the car." Poria nodded in encouragement.

Another maid named Hongyeast hesitated for a while, and finally whispered: "The ice grid under the coachman's seat ......" The ebony carriage of white poria, the coachman's seat looks like a large rectangular wooden box with a row of ventilation holes, and ice cubes are placed in it, and when the carriage travels, the wind pours into the box from the ventilation holes, blowing the cold air inside into the carriage, and the ice grid is just the size to hide a person.

"You're very careful!" Bai Poria did not hesitate to praise it, and then said to the others: "You are just ordinary people who want to search these places, this galangal has been a soldier for several years, but he only looks at the situation in the carriage, what is the reason?" ”

"At the end of the day, he didn't really want to offend me, so he didn't rummage through our convoy and cross-examine everyone like a regular search, he just wanted to show his integrity and dedication in front of me, so as to leave a deep impression on me. If he really offends me severely, not only may he not be able to share the errand of guarding the city gate, but he will also be transferred back to the barracks by Master Bu, lest he get tired of me and be punished when the general returns. ”

"However, I was really only suspicious at first, so I deliberately proposed that he go to guard the city gate, and then let Bai Ah Liu and Bai Ah Shi secretly stare at him, and asked the two generals to focus slightly on the defense of the west gate. If he is not a spy, then it should be my villain's heart, if he really is, then it is just through him to lead the barbarian army and horses to the west gate, and we can also concentrate our forces to deal with it. ”

When the others heard this, it was really the truth, Bu Jiao slapped his thigh hard and said: "Miss, everyone in Beiguan City says that you are the best at seeing people, and I, Bu Jiao, am really convinced today!" ”

The two sides were talking happily, and suddenly a single cronie came to report, saying that the falcon had brought back the news of Lu Ying, and everyone did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly asked people to send the letter.

Lu Ying's letter was contained in a small iron cylinder on the eagle's claws, and a seal with a special seal was pasted on the opening of the iron cylinder, but this small seal was pasted crookedly, as if it had been glued on in a hurry, and Bai Poria felt a little uneasy when she saw it.

A single knife and one hand privately unscrewed the iron cylinder, pulled out the paper note, and only a few words were simply written on it: Hold the city gate, and return in three days!

When Bu Jiao saw it, he couldn't help but shout: "Beiguan City is only less than two days away from the territory of the Great Arrow Department, why does it take three days for the Great General to come back?!" Shan Daogen glared at him fiercely, blaming him for being too talkative.

Bai Poria also thought of this, and her heart sank, knowing that Lu Ying was also in trouble, she said to Shan Daogen: "Master Shan, I want to ask the two of you to send a letter to the general for me, can it be done?" ”

Shan Daogen knew very well her status in Lu Ying's heart, so naturally there was no reason not to agree.

Bai Poria asked the maid to take a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter, folded it and put it in a small iron cylinder and handed it to the single knife. He didn't even look at the root of the knife, immediately put a seal, and told his cronies to take it and send it.

"There's one more thing to discuss with the two adults." Bai Poria's eyes turned around.

"Miss, please." Bu Jiao and Shan Daogen originally had a good impression of Bai Poria because of Lu Ying's relationship, and because the Bai family had been raising military funds for the Zhenbei Army and relocating disabled retired soldiers and their relatives, plus she was convinced by her last night by quietly catching the spy for them, and there was more respect and closeness between her words.

Bai Lingling said with a smile: "The two adults said yesterday that during the period of the general's absence, the first thing is to guard the city gate, stabilize the security in the city, and avoid spies and chaos. At present, the foreign merchants are all temporarily detained in the official office and the Chengnan Commercial Office, and there are not a few of these people, so there is naturally no problem in restricting their movement for a short time, but the general will not be able to return for at least two or three days, and the two places are limited, and it is a problem for them to eat and rest. In addition, the people in the city are also affected by the martial law order and are not allowed to go out at will. I wonder if the two adults have any plans? ”

Bu Dan and the two of them had a big head when they heard it, and they were very good at letting them manage the soldiers and horses, but let them manage such a large number of merchants and ordinary people, they would have no clue, and the people would not tell them what military discipline and military rules they had, and they could not scold and punish them at will.

Bu Ji couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "Go back and call the master book and the canon history in the official office to ask......

Knowing that Bai Poria asked this, he must have already been confident, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Bu Jiao, but instead asked Bai Poria and said, "I don't know what the eldest lady has to do?" ”

Bai Lingling smiled and said: "The northern army in the town in the city plus the errand in the official office is about 1,000 people, and there are at least three or four thousand merchants locked up in the official office and the commercial office......

At this moment, even Bu Jiao understood that the Qi country valued agriculture over business, even if they were soldiers, they thought that these small businessmen were just ant people among the ant people, and if they were offended, they would be offended, it was not a big deal, but after Bai Poria said this, they immediately thought of the issue of military expenses and military salaries, which was not trivial.

For those merchants, as long as the turmoil in Beiguancheng has passed, even if they know that there is danger, they will continue to come, after all, compared with other border cities, Beiguancheng is already the safest one, and under the governance of Lu Ying, the environmental conditions here are very suitable for trade, and various services for merchants are also very perfect.

Therefore, this turmoil may affect the prosperity of Beiguan City in the short term, but it can be restored in a year and a half. However, from Bai Poria's standpoint, she can't afford to spend this time, so she must try to minimize the impact to ensure that her plan can go smoothly in the remaining three years, so that she can leave with confidence.

Bu Jiao and Shan Daogen can't imagine so much, since they followed Lu Ying's men, they have never been hungry for military salaries, and the Zhenbei Army will be so brave and loyal, a very important factor is that Lu Ying proved that there is meat to eat when he goes with him!
