General An and the others looked at each other, and they couldn't say for a while, but finally An Huai opened his mouth and said to Yun Yao:

"Miss Yun, General Gu must have more important things, please Miss Yun follow what the letter says, and leave Chicheng first. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that even the identity of the girl will be exposed. ”

"I'm not leaving. Yun Yao refused very simply, "I said to wait for him here, if he doesn't come back, I won't go anywhere." ”

"Miss Yun, the battlefield is dangerous, General Gu is not here, in case of another war, we rough people can't take care of you. General Li persuaded, "What's more, this is General Gu's handwritten letter, he let the girl go first, there must be some arrangement......"

"Generals, I won't trouble you, let me stay here for a while. Yun Yao said, "I won't stay long, I'll wait for his next letter." If he had come back before that, of course, everyone would have been happy, but if he had not returned, but had delivered the secret letter again, then after I saw the letter, I would not stay longer, and leave immediately. ”

"But what General Gu said in the letter is about the life and death of Daning, in case it is delayed......" General Xu hesitated.

"Just follow what Miss Yun said. An Huai is the calmest one, "If Beidi wants to invade my Daning, he must pass through Chicheng." A few of us are stuck here, as long as we stop the Beidi army, nothing will happen for a while. The content of the letter is one step earlier and one step later, it is not a big deal, and the war between Yiguo and Ninggong is also stalemate, no matter which side it is, it probably doesn't have time to pay attention to the north. ”

Hearing An Huai's words, Yun Yao was immediately grateful: "Thank you, General An." ”

After finishing speaking, several people didn't stay long, and left the big tent, leaving Yunyao to stand alone, fear and hatred growing from the bottom of their hearts.

She looked at the letter in her hand, how could she not have imagined that the truth that Gu Qingming found out would be so cruel, Empress Dowager Qin and Qin Yuankai actually did such a thing of collusion with Beidi in order to fight King Yi?

It turned out that the leader of the men in black who assassinated Gu Qingming in Ji'an County in the past was none other than him.

In order to ascend to the throne of Beidi, Bo Bing spent a long time planning, and even thought of using Gu Qingming's death to add a merit to his ascendancy. But unexpectedly, when he went to Ji'an County, not only did he fail to kill Gu Qingming, but he was also seriously injured.

As a result, the pace of his seizure of the throne was forced to slow down, which is why Beidi has been relatively calm in recent years and has not invaded south. Because Beidi is also very chaotic internally, if you want to go south to fight, you must first have internal stability.

Now, Bol Bing has succeeded in ascending to the throne, and the previous injuries have almost recovered, and all the tribes within Beidi are unified, so he has the idea of Daning again.

Originally, he didn't want to completely conquer Daning, he just wanted to cross Chicheng to grab some grain for the winter, just like what Beidi did in previous years.

There were originally 300,000 northern troops in the north of Daning, but King Yi rebelled, and the Empress Dowager Qin transferred 200,000 northern troops in order to suppress King Yi, which just gave Beidi an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, under the persuasion of Gu Qingming, the southwest garrison voluntarily went north to help and assist the northern army in resisting the enemy, which also dragged Beidi's footsteps southward.

What's more, Bolbing didn't think of coming to the border in person, but not long ago, he received a letter from General Qin Yuankai of Daning, saying that Gu Qingming appeared in Chicheng and asked him to find a way to delay Gu Qingming's footsteps, on the condition that after Daning pacified the civil strife, he would give Beidi a million loads of grain.

One million quintals of grain is just the tip of the iceberg for Daning, which is rich in products, but for Beidi, who has always lacked winter food, it is a life-saving thing, so Bo Bing agreed without hesitation.

What could be worse than getting a million loads of grain without bloodshed?

But some things always backfired, and before Bor Bing could make a move, he received a report of the border battle, and the left vanguard led by Tu Wuhan was defeated in two battles, and was even attacked by the enemy, burning grain and grass, and asked for troops to rush to help.

Bolbing remembered Qin Yuankai's letter, and knew that the reason why the border war happened was probably because Gu Qingming was in Daning Chicheng, and the previous two tricks to break the Beidi army.

figured this out, so Bo Bing came in person, not only that, but he also sent Ge Shu to lead the troops, and there was a posture that he wanted to leave Gu Qingming in the border city completely. Because only Ge Shu is crazy has the strength to fight Gu Qingming.

And Gu Qingming's transmission of the letter this time was to use Daning's meticulous work buried in the Beidi army, so that he could successfully send the letter to Chicheng.

The letter also said that Bol Bing and Ge Shu were not good at it, Gu Qingming couldn't leave for the time being, and he had to find a way to break through from within Beidi, so that they would have no time to send troops to Chicheng again, so let Yun Yao leave first, find a way to go back to Yiguo or find King Yi, and report the matter, so that Qin Yuankai's treacherous plan could not succeed.

Yun Yao originally wanted to burn this letter, but after thinking about it, if His Royal Highness King Yi succeeded, then this letter was evidence that Qin Yuankai collaborated with the enemy and treason, and it must be kept.

Thinking of this, Yun Yao found a set of clothes, sewed a sandwich in it, stuffed the letter in, and then sealed it. From the outside, no one knew that such an important letter was stuffed inside the garment.

After doing all this, Yun Yao was free, thinking about what had happened during this time.

She knew that no matter how hidden she and Gu Qingming's whereabouts were, there were still many people in the entire army who knew that Gu Qingming had arrived in Chicheng, and it was not surprising that the news would spread.

What's more, the minions in the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin are pervasive, maybe the Empress Dowager Qin has already discovered that the person in Jeju's hometown is not the real Gu Qingming, but Gu Yan is pretending, so she will be sure that Gu Qingming is in Chicheng, so she conspires with Beidi to drag Gu Qingming's footsteps.

Thinking about it, the people on the Ning Palace side should have already found out about Gu Qingming's help to King Yi, otherwise they would not have taken the risk to cooperate with Beidi. Only Gu Qingming was left at the border, and King Yi's subordinates were equivalent to one less fierce general, and when facing Qin Yuankai, he would also lack confidence.

Thinking of this, Yun Yao wrote a letter, described the situation in the border city in detail, and then sent someone to leave Chicheng quickly and hand it over to King Yi.

Since he has stood on the side of King Yi, no matter what, he must focus on the great cause of King Yi. After all, this is not the business of one or two people, this is the result of the emperor and King Yi's careful planning for many years.

Next...... Just wait.

The wind and snow in the north are getting heavier and heavier, and they are heavier than when they were in Ning Palace in the past. The overwhelming snowflakes fell on the snow that had already fallen in a thick layer, and there was a little rustling sound.

Yun Yao sat in the tent reading the medical book, occasionally raised her head, listened to the sound of snowflakes hitting the tent, watched the light outside go out brightly and extinguished, it was dark and dawning, and she didn't know how many days and nights had passed.

"Miss Yun is here, General An has an invitation, saying that she has something important to discuss. Suddenly, the sound of soldiers announcing was heard outside.

Yun Yao put down the book, walked to the shelf standing next to the fire, and removed the soft and heavy black cloak from it. It was a cloak that belonged to Gu Qingming, when they went north together, they were wrapped in this one, but when Gu Qingming went to visit the Beidi camp, he didn't take it with him.

Wrapped in a cloak, Yun Yao shrunk her whole body inside, then lifted the tent and walked out, coming to An Huai's tent.

In An Huai's tent, General Li and General Xu were also present, the atmosphere was a little dignified, and on the desk in front of the three of them, there was a wooden box five inches long, five inches wide, and five inches high.

"General An, I don't know why you came to me?" Yun Yao's gaze swept over the wooden box and asked.

Her intuition told her that An Huai came to her this time because of the wooden box in front of her, but she didn't know what the origin of this wooden box was, so that the three generals were so solemn.

"Miss Yun, you said a few days ago that you would wait for General Gu's second letter, or wait for him to come back. Judging by Ben, you probably won't be able to wait. An Huai glanced at Yun Yao and spoke.

Yun Yao was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"

"This box was brought by the soldiers guarding the city half an hour ago, and it was the Beidi people who sent this box. According to the soldiers defending the city, when the Beidi people left this box, they said a word, they wanted to return our Daning's things to us. An Huai explained, "The general and the two generals have studied for a long time, and they haven't opened the box yet, so I don't know what is inside, but according to our guess, General Gu's whereabouts have been exposed......"

Listening to An Huai's words, Yun Yao looked at the box, walked straight over, put her hands on the box, and was about to open it.

"Wait!" General Xu hurriedly stopped her, "Miss Yun, let me come, I don't know what is in this box, it's better to be careful." ”

"The things that can hit this box are just dark arrows or poison, and that's what the Beidi people are capable of. General Li said, pulling out the long sword at his waist, the tip of the sword against the edge of the gap in the lid of the box, and with a slight pick, the box was opened.

There are no hidden arrows, and there is no poison.

The moment the box was opened, what greeted her was a letter, and the envelope was stained with blood, Yun Yao walked over and picked up the letter, but saw that what was pressed under the envelope turned out to be a bloody human head.

In an instant, Yun Yao's body shook, and she was almost unstable, but when she looked carefully, she found that the head was not Gu Qingming, and the boulder in her heart was slightly lowered.

"It's a fine work we buried in the Beidi military camp, and it has been well hidden for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be discovered. An Huai looked at the human head and said, "It seems that it should be when General Gu contacted him and revealed the clues." ”

Yun Yao took a deep breath and forced herself not to think about what would happen to Gu Qingming after she was discovered, she only opened the letter in her hand and read it word by word-

I Beidi has always been hospitable, and I specially stayed with General Gu for a few days.

Full of paper, Yun Yao could only see this sentence, which meant that Gu Qingming really fell into the hands of Beidi, but fortunately, he was still alive and safe, otherwise Bol Bing would not have used this fine head to give Daning a dismount.
