In Yun Qin's military headquarters like Dongling, the briefings and military information on the front line are still flowing in and out.

Meng Bai's main work at the military intelligence center has gone from examining whether there are any errors or omissions in the military orders issued a month ago, to now judging whether the military information transmitted to him is completely correct, whether there is any element of the other side luring the enemy, and beginning to make overall arrangements for the movement of troops.

Although everyone in the military department still thinks he is timid and cowardly, but his ability is to win everyone's respect, he has become one of the most important military divisions on the front line at an astonishing speed, although some of his plans and transfers tend to be moderate and conservative in the eyes of the military, but the Yun Qin army does not seek quick success, only cautious and prudent, so as long as he has maintained such a performance, he will definitely occupy a more important position in the front line army.

Faced with the casualty figures in the briefing, Meng Bai seemed to be used to it, no matter what emotions he felt in his heart every time he saw the numbers on the briefing that represented a loyal and brave Yunqin soldier, at least his expression was able to be numb and calm.

A bulletin containing the deaths of more than a dozen sergeants reached him.

Such a number is extremely small in the course of the entire war, but the moment he saw this briefing, his white and fat fingers kept trembling, and his hands could not even pinch this thin piece of paper.

He began to sobb quietly, sobbing as if he were convulsing.

Thin pieces of paper fell to the ground between his violently trembling fingers.

The sky in Nanling Province has been overcast for a few days.

At the moment when this briefing fell from Meng Bai's hands, as if the heavens were also sad and angry, the snow finally began to fall.

A priest who was on his way out of a military camp somewhere in Nanling Province looked up at the sky.

He was sure that the snow would last for several days, and that the vast majority of the land in Nanling Province would be covered with white snow.

Is it just that white snow can hide the filth on the soil, but can it hide the ugliness and conspiracy of the human heart?

The priest looked at the snowy sky and was silent for a long time.

Fine snow fell on the top of the big tent in the barracks, and all the Yun Qin generals in the big tent had angry and ashamed expressions on their faces.

"Why was this reckless army able to discover General Li's whereabouts! Why was this reckless army able to penetrate deep into the southern shore of the Falling Star Mausoleum!"

One of the generals kept asking questions in an extremely angry voice, and because of the anger, the knuckles of his hands were pinched whiter than the snow outside. This general was Zeng Rou, one of the highest generals in the entire southern army, and the highest general of the military in the First World War of Dongjingling.

No one answered.

Because all the generals present knew the answer.

That's why they all have angry and ashamed expressions on their faces.

The transfer of those troops and generals on the front line, the orders came from the military headquarters.

If it is a large-scale transfer, the number of troops in the thousands, it may be possible to attract the attention of the reckless, but a squad of more than ten people has been withdrawn from the front line to what the military considers a safe area... If you are caught by the enemy at night, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

In fact, because there are important students of Qingluan in this team, and they are also outstanding generals on the front line, the entire dispatch is more secretive, and it is even more unlikely that something will happen.

So there's only one possibility.

Zeng Rou's angry and sharp question only reminded them to fully understand this possibility: this team was sold by their own people!

Only if the people of the military headquarters betray the route of this squad to the enemy army, the squad will fall into the encirclement of the enemy army.

Dying on the battlefield is a very common and glorious thing for any general in this big tent.

But the death of these empire's best soldiers because of the conspiracy of their own people was enough to completely annihilate their sanity with anger.

And for these soldiers, defending their families and defending the country and fighting for the empire is in itself a matter of military affairs, the cultivators of Qingluan Academy, and the other cultivators of Yunqin are just helping the military with a fearless spirit... However, now, this team is dying because of the problems of the military and because of the betrayal of the military insiders.

So they felt a deep shame, they felt an immense sense of shame.

"You are all people who have participated in the battles of Dongjingling and Shaohualing, and you have also seen with your own eyes how Lord Lin and those cultivators fought for Yun Qin. I can tell you that Master Li is a good friend of Lord Lin... I don't know how many military exploits he has made on the front line and how many battles he has experienced, but he did not die in those battles, but died in the hands of his own people!" Zeng Rou's calm and cold face in the past became a little hideous, he looked at all the generals present, and said in a cold voice: "I don't care who is secretly doing this, I only know that this is the biggest shame of our military... No matter who it is, we must find out clearly! Find out who this person is!"

In the snow-soaked Nanling Province, on a hill, two black-robed professors from Qingluan Academy stood silently.

"Do you want to tell Lin Xi the news?" one of the very bookish female black-robed professors asked softly.

"It's impossible to hide this news. Since Vice President Xia supports all his decisions, all we can do is to tell him the news. The one-eyed professor next to the black-robed professor narrowed his eyes slightly, "He will do whatever he wants." ”

......

Yanlai Town.

The sound of thousands of galloping horses suddenly sounded on the calm river.

With the opening of several gates of the barrage at the same time, the river water stored in the reservoir behind the dam rolled out like millions and tens of millions of fierce horses, and the water level at the shallows suddenly rose.

Patches of cheers on the surface of the river.

Dozens of huge merchant ships laden with tung oil and other goods took advantage of the brief rise in the water level and the strength of the wind to sail with gust air through the shallow waters of the past year, which had been impassable in the shallow season.

Suddenly, many of the townspeople and merchant ships on the riverbank let out a loud exclamation and admiration.

A flat boat, going upstream, is unimaginably stable in the rolling and pouring river, like a sharp arrow breaking through the water.

"It's King Zhang!"

Many people reacted, and a tsunami-like sound rang out.

Previously, when King Zhang Long quietly left Donggang Town, not many people knew about it except for his brothers who were begging for a living on the river, but today, all the people along the Xizi River knew that their dragon king on the river had become the dragon king of the Falling Star Lake, and they all heard that this figure in the rivers and lakes had secretly made many great achievements for the naval army trained by Gu Yunjing in the Falling Star Mausoleum.

Lin Xi stood on the barrage and smiled at King Zhang Long, who was coming in the wind and waves.

Compared with when he just returned to Yanlai Town a few days ago, the people in the town were no longer as excited as when they first saw him, but only returned to respect from the heart, which also made Lin Xi finally have a few days of real quiet and leisure.

Gao Yanan, who has completed the transformation from a beautiful girl to a wife, is even more indescribably beautiful, and her eyebrows and eyes are more gentle, and she is full of happiness.

Lin Xi waved towards King Zhang Long.

Zhang Longwang saluted Lin Xi, and there was a roar of applause along the coast and on the river.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Everyone wants to continue to be happy and enthusiastic like this.

It's just that the townspeople around Yanlai Town all know that the Lin family has something to do to go far away, and the shopkeeper Lin also apologized when he went door-to-door to send happy sugar and red eggs, and said that he would go out soon after the wedding, which seems to be a little unreasonable, but it is indeed a bit urgent, and he can only wait for the neighbors to come back from the far away door and then invite the neighbors to get together.

Because now everyone knows that Lord Kobayashi is not an ordinary person, and all the neighbors did not ask what the reason was for the Lin family's anxious trip, but the town specially discussed it, and finally agreed with the merchant on the river to use this way of opening the gate and releasing water to the boat to see off Lord Kobayashi.

This barrage was built by Lin Xi's plan, and with this barrage, more tung oil produced in the upper reaches of the Xizi River will flow into all parts of Yunqin.

This was the merit of Lord Kobayashi, and they knew that Lord Kobayashi must have enjoyed seeing such a scene.

"You have to come back by coincidence, otherwise it will be late tomorrow, and I will leave Yanlai Town, and I will just miss it. ”

Seeing that the penny was propped up in the water, he jumped on the river dam, and jumped in front of him Zhang Longwang, Lin Xi smiled and said: "Zhang Longwang is a real success at this moment, and in the future, he will hide his fame and play between this river." ”

"I just hate that it's not He Baihe and Lord Lin and the like, otherwise you can also exert more strength. Zhang Longwang looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan with emotion, "It's just a pity that I missed the big day." ”

Lin Xi smiled: "That's going to make up a few more glasses of wine." ”

Zhang Longwang smiled and said, "If Mrs. Lin doesn't stop me, I can accompany a thousand cups and not get drunk." ”

Hearing Mrs. Lin's three words, Gao Yanan, who was wearing a long jacket with a white fox fur collar, looked extraordinarily pink-carved and jade-carved, and her face suddenly turned slightly red.

At this moment, Lin Xi raised his head and looked at the sky in front of him.

In the rushing river, above the high masts of the huge merchant ships, a faint yellow light was revealed in the higher clouds.

Looking at this Shenmu Feihe, who was an ordinary person and couldn't see clearly, Lin Xi thought, I don't know who from the academy has arrived.

Shenmu Feihe flew closer, and a wind fell.

A feathered arrow with an arrow pinch fell towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and he grasped the feather arrow that fell from the air.

Lin Xi untied a small roll of sheepskin on this feather arrow and unfolded it.

Then the feathered arrow and the little parchment roll fell from his hand and fell into the foaming river in front of him.

The smile on Gao Yanan's face also quickly retracted, she wanted to ask Lin Xi what news she had received, but Lin Xi just held her hand.

She felt that Lin Xi's hand was extraordinarily cold, extraordinarily cold.

"We'll go back and talk about it. Lin Xi said this softly, and then said goodbye to the surrounding Yanlai Town people one by one and left Jiangba.
