Of course, Wu Nian's statement is also grounded, if the Jinchuan army marches into Lingnan, it will inevitably have to attack the city and pull out the village, and the large siege weapons must be carried with the army, so the speed of the march will definitely not be fast. [No pop-ups]

Hearing the analysis of the two of them, Shangguan Xiu sighed lightly, compared to Beiqiu County, Jinchuan County, and Zhangshui County, Lingnan County has the smallest population, but the largest area, and is typically vast and sparsely populated, Shangguan Xiu believes that as long as he leads the army into Lingnan County, he can knock down the entire Lingnan County without much effort, and Guan Jian is that there is a fierce Shi Kaiwen by his side, as Wu Nian and Kong Di said, as long as they send troops to Lingnan, Shi Kaiwen's rebels will definitely take the opportunity to fight.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "I heard that the number of soldiers and horses under Skevin's command has increased by tens of thousands recently?"

"Yes, my lord!" Dong Zhe nodded in response: "Since the defeat of Shi Kaiwen's rebels in Beiqiu County, Shi Kaiwen has been recruiting troops on a large scale, and the people who defected to Shi Kaiwen are not all from Zhen County, more than half of them are homeless people and grass robbers from other counties. ”

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "It's really strange that in less than a month, Shi Kewen was able to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which requires a large amount of silver to support, but he came with so much silver? The treasury of the county government should have been emptied by him a long time ago." ”

Wu Nian and Kong Di looked at each other and smiled, and said, "It's very simple, Shi Kewen is secretly funding him by relying on the Ningnan forces!"

"The Ningnan forces have hoarded so much silver in the Wind Country?"

Kong Di said: "Ning Nan is hoarding silver in the Wind Country, that is certain, but it is unlikely to hoard so much, Mr. Wu and I both think that Ning Nan is secretly transporting silver to the Wind Country." ”

Shangguan Xiu's heart moved, and said: "If Ningnan wants to transport silver into the Wind Country, it must go through the border pass, the border pass situation in Ningnan County is tense, the two countries have hoarded millions of troops each, it is impossible for Ningnan to transport silver through Ningnan, although Yujun and Huan County also border Ningnan, but the border pass has been closed for more than ten years, where else can Ningnan transport silver into the Wind Country?"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Xiu subconsciously glanced at Wu Nian and Kong Di, and said in disbelief: "The two of you don't think that Ning Nan transported silver through Huya Pass, right?"

Kong Di smiled and arched his hand and said, "My lord is wise! According to his subordinates, the most likely place in Ningnan to transport silver into the Wind Country is Huya Pass!"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said, "Impossible! The silver transported by Ningnan is not one thousand taels or ten thousand taels, but one hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of taels. ”

Wu Nian said: "In fact, Shi Kaiwen has never been worried about money, no matter how aggressively he recruits troops, he has enough silver in his hand for him to squander, which shows that the funding of Ningnan forces for him has always been endless." And the border passes bordering Ningnan have been closed, and have been no longer open for more than ten years, which is also hoarded with heavy guards, Ningnan wants to directly transport silver through the border passes of the two countries, unless it is a pair of wings, the only possibility is that Ningnan bypasses Shah and enters the territory of our Feng Country through Shah. ”

Shangguan Xiu frowned and said, "However, Huya Pass is right under our noses, and we have never found anything abnormal. ”

Wu Nian sneered and laughed, and said, "Therefore, the people of Ningnan are skillful, and they are perfect in using the technique of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea. ”

Shangguan Xiu slapped the table.

Duan Qiyue, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei, who were standing outside the pavilion, were all shocked, and they all walked over and intervened and asked, "Brother Xiu?"

"Find Luo Fu and Zhao Chen, go quickly!"

"Yes!" Duan Qiyue responded, as soon as he raised his hand, a black mist first filled the shadows under a tree not far away, and then, a big man in black appeared out of thin air, he walked from under the tree to Duan Qiyue, and intervened to give a salute. Duan Qiyue whispered a few words in his ear, and the black-clothed man nodded, his body was empty, and the person had disappeared.

Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, his squinted eyes flashed with essence, and he said word by word: "Huya Pass is extremely strict with the caravans entering and leaving, if someone carries a large amount of silver into the pass, it is impossible for the soldiers guarding the city to be unaware. ”

He came out of Huya Pass, and he is very familiar with the situation of Huya Pass. There are indeed a lot of caravans that pass through Huya Pass every day, but there are strict regulations on the silver taels carried by caravans when entering and exiting the pass, and if the amount is particularly huge, Huya Pass will be temporarily detained.

Wu Nian and Kong Di shook their heads helplessly. They could calculate that Ning Nan must have transported silver into the Wind Country through Huya Pass, but as for what means Ning Nan used, they couldn't figure it out.

When Shangguan Xiu was pondering what the problem was, a soldier walked quickly into the back garden and came to the pavilion.

"What's the matter?" Shangguan Xiu asked absentmindedly.

"Uh, sir......"

"What the hell is going on, why are you so spitting?" Xiao Jue reprimanded with displeasure on his face.

"My lord, outside the door...... A girl came from outside the door, claiming to be ...... Lady who claims to be an adult!" the soldier stammered.

Hearing this, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and the others were all angry, Brother Xiu obviously hasn't married yet, where is the wife? Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "It's just nonsense, you go back and send her away, the county governor's mansion is not a place for crazy women to mess around!"

Seeing that Xiao Jue's face was not good, the soldiers shrank their necks in fright, he couldn't provoke the people of the Shadow Banner, not to mention that Xiao Jue was still the deputy flag owner of the Shadow Banner. He said yes, but the man stood still. Seeing this, Xiao Jue frowned and asked, "Why don't you go yet?"

She ...... She said that her name was Ye Feixue, and if the adults refused to recognize her, she would ...... She'll just tell the secret of the adults......" said the soldier cautiously, hanging his head.

Is it her?!Shangguan Xiu burst out laughing, but it was a wry smile. Xiao Jue was about to speak, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at him, stood up, and said, "Please let her in!"

Others don't know who Ye Feixue is, but Dong Zhe knows. Isn't Ye Feixue Liu Tian's woman? Why does she claim to be Brother Xiu's wife? His face was full of inexplicability, he looked at Shangguan Xiu in bewilderment, and asked, "My lord, what ......is this?" It's ......"

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Liu Tian didn't die in Beiqiu County, he was killed by me a long time ago, as early as when he went to Yicheng to buy spiritual weapons from me. ”

Dong Zhe's face changed when he heard this, in fact, he didn't believe that Liu Tian was killed by the rebels in Beiqiu County, and guessed that he was killed by Brother Xiu, and Brother Xiu's purpose was naturally to further control the White Shirts.

He was surprised that Liu Tian died when he went to Yicheng, so who was that Liu Tian who came back from Yicheng?

When he was muttering in his heart, he saw Shangguan Xiu lower his head, and when he raised his head again, he already revealed a face exactly the same as Liu Tian. He changed into Liu Tian's voice and said, "The person who returned to Longan Town from Yicheng was actually me!"

Dong Zhe opened his mouth wide in surprise, even if he had seen Wu Nian and Kong Di who had changed randomly, they were all surprised.

As Shangguan Xiu spoke, he lowered his head again, changed back to his appearance, and told Dongzhe about the general story.

The reason why he told Dongzhe the truth was that he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, Dongzhe's mind was too shrewd, instead of letting him speculate by himself, it was better to take the initiative to tell him the truth, and secondly, the relationship between Dongzhe and Liu Tian was not deep, even if he knew the truth of the matter, he would not resent himself because of this.

After Shangguan Xiu finished speaking, Dong Zhe suddenly realized and muttered, "So that's the case!" Although he has never practiced spiritual martial arts, after all, he was born in the rivers and lakes, and he is familiar with spiritual martial arts skills.

Thinking of this, he smiled wryly and said, "The subordinates are still too stupid, although the subordinates felt that Brother Tian was quite different from the past, but they didn't think about random changes. ”

"Don't you blame me for killing Liu Tian?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile.

"Liu Tian just regarded me as a strategist and military advisor, but he never regarded me as a brother, but Brother Xiu regarded me as a brother, willing to treat me with sincerity, and it was Dongzhe's honor to be able to assist Brother Xiu, even if he died, he would die without regrets!" As he spoke, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Shangguan Xiu to the ground.

Shangguan Xiu secretly said yes, Dongzhe was worthy of his sincerity, he said: "This matter, don't tell Li Qiu and Chang Feng first, they have a deep relationship with Liu Tian, and it is not appropriate to let them know the truth now." ”

"Brother Xiu, don't worry, your subordinates understand!" Dongzhe nodded in understanding.

As they spoke, a soldier ushered in a young woman in a green dress from outside the courtyard.

She is not very old, at best, she is twenty-eight years old, her skin is snow-white, and her appearance is also beautiful and watery, especially a pair of big eyes, from which a breath of aura is revealed.

Duan Qiyue, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei looked this young girl up and down curiously, and they also secretly said in their hearts that they were all beautiful girls!

This beautiful young woman is Ye Feixue. Entering the garden, she ignored the others, and saw Shangguan Xiu standing in the pavilion at a glance, she smiled with crooked eyes, walked forward quickly, and said, "Shangguan Xiu, how is it, I didn't break my promise, right?"

Shangguan Xiu was stunned by her brainless words, and looked at her puzzled.

After not seeing her for many days, Ye Feixue has recovered a lot, although her figure is still thin and petite, the complexion on her face has improved a lot, her little face is puffy, and her pale face is very different from her pale complexion, and the whole person looks more lively and smart.

"When we broke up last time, I said I would come to you!" Ye Feixue put her two little hands behind her back and looked at Shangguan Xiu for a long time.
