Qingyu tried to guess, "Could it be that it has something to do with this medical hall?" ”

"Yes, originally there were two medical centers in Suming County, one of which was opened by the Zhou family, and the Fushou Building that I took over was a mortal rival, and the two were originally competing against each other, and even that Anrentang sent someone to sneak into me in a vain attempt to steal the account book, but later Gu Jinfeng saw through it and fought back fiercely."

"After that, An Rentang sold fake pills in order to make money, and finally caused public anger, and the business plummeted, and then Zhou Cheng came here, and when he saw that Fushoulou's business was good, he wanted to take revenge on me, but he met Brother Ning and was taught a lesson, and then he held a grudge."

"So there's such a thing?" Qingyu was surprised, why Zhou Cheng wanted to kidnap Qi Ling before She had been puzzled for a long time, it turned out that this grudge started here!

"Okay, now there is only one medical hall left in this Suming County, although I don't think there's anything wrong with competition, but it's too unreasonable to use yin tricks or something, to put it bluntly, An Rentang is also self-inflicted!"

Qi Ling rolled comfortably on the bed, the golden nest and the silver nest were still not as comfortable as his own kennel, originally there was no sleepiness, but not long after lying down, there was an inexplicable sleepiness welling up.

Qingyu hurriedly put the things away, and when she saw her eyes closed, she lightly took the door and went out.

The thirteenth in the courtyard had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Qingyu, he knelt down on one knee, "My lord! How did you come here? ”

Qingyu hurriedly helped him up, "Hurry up, now I'm just a maid serving Miss Qi, but I'm not an adult in your mouth, you ask me why I'm here, aren't you yourself here?" ”

"My subordinates are here on the orders of Lord Ning."

"That's really a coincidence, you are on the orders of Vice General Ning, and I am on the orders of Lord Xu, Gu Gongzi has already gone to the front line this time, I am worried that Miss Qi alone is not safe, so I explained to the adults to come together."

"Gu Gongzi... Went to the front?! Thirteen's face was incredulous, "Isn't it the border city you're talking about?" ”

"It's the border city, what, listen to what you are talking about?" Qingyu has been on the road with Qi Ling for the past few days, and she didn't dare to delay at all, so naturally she had no way of knowing what was going on.

"Yesterday came the news that the border city was broken!"

"What did you say?!"

In the capital Xu Mansion, Xu Yu looked at the urgent report with a pale face, Wang Ye didn't dare to speak on the side, the news of the city being broken here had spread in the capital, and he was a little unbelievable when he got the news.

Obviously, Lord Ming had already sent people from nearby cities to support immediately, how could there be a situation where the border city was destroyed?

"Kaiming has been a complete defeat this week!" Xu Yu was furious after reading the letter, "My worries have really come true, this guy actually ignored the people of the border city and let the soldiers defending the city delay sending troops!" ”

After hearing this, Wang Ye was also indignant: "My lord, he must have wanted to avenge his sister-in-law and deliberately framed you!" ”

If Ning Ke hadn't stopped Zhou Cheng who was making a fortune, then he wouldn't have been imprisoned for this, this was definitely premeditated!

"Avenging Zhou Cheng is still one thing, or is it because I took away his errand and embarrassed him in front of the saint." Xu Yu put away the letter and frowned, "Now that the border city is broken, it's useless to blame, it's been three days since Zhang Mo set off, where have they arrived now, but there is news?" ”

Wang Ye shook his head, "Go back to my lord, there is no news now, the city here is broken, and the next one to suffer will be the nearest Fengcheng, if you want your subordinates to say that this group of generals guarding the city is brainless!" ”

"Now is not the time to complain about this, presumably the saint knows the news, he must be angry, you go down and prepare for me, I want to go to the palace."

"Yes, my subordinates will prepare."

When Xu Yu came to the hall, he saw that Zhou Kaiming had already knelt in front of the saint and persuaded him bitterly, his words were sincere, his expression was sincere, if he didn't already have a letter in his hand, he would really be deceived by this guy.

Hengzong's face had long since lost his smile, and when he heard the eunuch report that Xu Yu was coming, he said, "Let Xu Qing come in." ”

"Yes, Lord Xu, please."

Xu Yu straightened his sleeves and walked in quickly, kneeling down in front of Hengzong, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Xu Qing doesn't have to be polite, just get up and speak." Hearing Hengzong's tone, Xu Yu knew that this old man only believed half of his words, after all, no one was a fool, what tricks were being done in the neighboring cities, he must have thought about it in his heart.

Zhou Kaiming: This is really a bad game.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Yu then got up, and without waiting for Hengzong to speak, he explained his intention: "The minister came here this time to come to the lost border city, as early as the night of His Majesty's order, the minister had already written a letter overnight and ordered people to send it to the front line, but I don't know why several nearby cities still refused to send troops on the day of the Dacheng army's siege of the city, what is the reason for this......"

Zhou Kaiming on the side hurriedly replied, "What else is the reason for this, naturally your letter was not delivered, or the general who became arrogant, thinking that he could defend the border city, and felt that others would rob him of his military merits...... Your Majesty, I heard that the current border city seems to be Lord Xu's subordinates......"

The meaning of this is self-evident, but Xu Yu laughed low after hearing it.

Hengzong unhurriedly picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and asked, "What is Xu Qing laughing at?" ”

Xu Yu did not shy away from it, and said loudly, "The minister is laughing, why can such a dull person as Lord Zhou sit in such an important position for so long." ”

The latter was furious, "Xu Yu, what do you mean by this?!" Are you saying I don't deserve this position? ”

"This is what your lord said, as far as the minister knows, last time because of the mistake of the general under Lord Zhou, the original number of people stationed in the border city was reduced to 30,000, you said that my letter was not delivered, this matter was requested by His Majesty, who would dare not obey this stamped letter?"

"If you don't comply, it's disrespectful, and this is going to kill your head."

As he spoke, he took out the secret letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the chief eunuch on the side, who also handed it to Hengzong with a very good look.

"Your Majesty......"

Hengzong raised his eyebrows, "Xu Qing, what is this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is naturally evidence." Xu Yu hooked his lips and chuckled: "It was written that Lord Zhou is now sending a message to the neighboring city, ordering people not to send troops to help!" ”

Zhou Kaiming's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened, thinking that this was in the main hall, so he had to lower his voice and asked, "Xu Yu, don't you want to spew blood?!" When did I send a message to the border and tell them not to send troops?! ”

"You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!"

Hengzong took the letter and opened it directly, according to Chen Li's request, the end of this letter was with a city seal, which was enough to prove that this was definitely transmitted from the front line, and he quickly read the contents of it at a glance.

When even was so angry that his face turned pale, he pasted the letter paper on Zhou Kaiming's face.

"Zhou Kaiming, you are really bold, you actually did this kind of thing?!" If he made a small mistake before, he can be forgiven casually, but today's incident is a great crime!
