This small village is like a microcosm of the country.

There are heavy casualties and a bleak future.

Despite his advanced age, the village chief is still trying to maintain order.

Yi Mingxue did not stay in the village for long.

She needed to get the letter forwarded to her by the sergeant to the barracks in Qiyang Town as soon as possible.

But this place is far away from Qiyang Town, and the time she agreed with the Chu family is tomorrow.

After thinking for a while, Yi Mingxue immediately decided to send the letter to a nearby intelligence station.

This intelligence station was cultivated by her, which is both convenient and efficient.

And it's absolutely safe.

Before leaving, the little boy took his sister's hand and came to see him off.

His parents and sister were killed in the massacre, leaving him and a young sister alone.

But the little boy showed himself strong.

When saying goodbye to Yi Mingxue, he promised very seriously.

"I'm going to get stronger! Strong enough to protect everyone I care about. ”

Yi Mingxue hooked her lips and chuckled, and reached out to rub his head.

"I'm sure you will."

"Hmm!"

The carriage was gone.

The brother and sister watched Yi Mingxue leave. Two small figures snuggled together, like two small shoots breaking out of the ground.

It has planted new hope for this vast scorched earth.

……

The next day, Yi Mingxue met with the Chu family steward as promised.

But to her surprise, the person who came was actually the chief butler of the National Teacher's Mansion.

She originally thought that it was not uncommon for the Chu family to cooperate with her own businessmen.

Unexpectedly, this time he actually directly sent a big housekeeper at the level of the general government.

"The eldest young master of my family heard that Boss Yi wanted to do business with the Chu family, so he specially ordered me to discuss it in detail." The butler of Chu said with a smile.

While he spoke, he was still looking at Yi Mingxue quietly.

However, he was polite and kind, and did not mean to be offended.

Moreover, while he was looking at Yi Mingxue, Yi Mingxue was also looking at him quietly.

This Steward Chu's attitude was a little strange.

He didn't seem to be very interested in business, but he was more curious about Yi Mingxue.

asked several questions one after another, all of which were Yi Mingxue's private topics.

Yi Mingxue tried her best to suppress the strangeness in her heart and took the initiative to lead the conversation to the main topic.

After more than half an hour of detailed discussions.

Yi Mingxue used her strength to really arouse the interest of Steward Na Chu.

"What does Boss Yi mean is that you are willing to provide the Chu family with food and armament transportation?"

"Not only that, but also my intelligence network."

She knew that armaments and food salaries might not be in short supply for the Chu family's army.

But the powerful intelligence gathering and transmission capabilities are the kind of help that any force wants to get.

Sure enough, when she played the intelligence card.

Steward Chu's expression became rare and serious.

"Are you saying that a secret intelligence organization has suddenly emerged in the southwest region in recent years, and it is your handiwork?"

Unconsciously, he even changed his name for Yi Mingxue.

Yi Mingxue nodded, "I have enough sincerity, and I also have the bargaining chips to cooperate with the Chu family, and I also ask Steward Chu to bring my words truthfully." ”

"And what are your requirements?" Steward Chu asked directly.

"It's easy! I hope to be an ally with the Chu family and share the fruits of victory together...... Ally. ”

The two talked secretly for nearly two hours.

Before Steward Chu came, the eldest young master of his family had personally dialed him.

He saw that the eldest young master was so interested in this Yi girl, and he thought that she was a pink beauty with a lot of means.

Until he really talked to Yi Mingxue.

Only then did I understand what the eldest young master meant by telling him not to take it lightly.

Yi Mingxue had a smooth conversation with the Chu family.

What she wants, the Chu family is willing to give.

But when she returned to the inn in the evening, she couldn't sleep.

She had clearly made the most correct and sensible choice, but her mind always flashed the picture of the sergeant delivering the letter before he died.

He escorted a letter with his life.

Until death, they are still guilty of not being able to defend the country.

Such an emotion is easy for Mingxue to resonate, but at the same time, it is like a fish bone pierced into her throat.

Yi Mingxue couldn't ignore it.

For a long time, she blamed this destined war on the inevitability of setting.

But she seems to ignore that these individuals who are caught up in the vortex are no longer the cold and ruthless symbols of the original book.

They are human beings, flesh and blood, sorrows and joys, living people.

……

In the barracks of Qiyang Town.

Qiao Xin unexpectedly received a letter of information from the army.

The letter was sent from the remnants of the garrison at Baitu Pass.

They wanted to take advantage of the invasion of the enemy's large army to surprise the rear of the enemy camp.

Cut off the food and grass of their main army, and then come to an urn to catch turtles.

But the number of the remnants of the troops at Baituguan was too small.

With them alone, there is no way to make the raid a success.

So, General Chen's old department sent a secret letter to General Qiao.

I hope to get the support of General Qiao.

The letter had been sent 10 days earlier, and they had agreed on a date of 15 days from the day.

That is, their plan will be implemented in five days.

"Baitu Pass is only three or five days away from us, why is this secret report so late to be delivered?"

Qiao Xin asked the people who came to deliver the letter.

That person is a confidant in Yi Mingxue's intelligence dark web, and he doesn't know much about the ins and outs of things.

"Our host said that the sergeant who delivered the letter was attacked and died halfway through, and I think it was delayed because of this."

Qiao Xin was very cautious and did not believe the words of people at will.

"Who are your hosts?"

"The big boss of Mingji, Yi Mingxue." The person who sent the letter told the truth.

The name is somewhat familiar, but Qiao Xin has never dealt much with merchants. just nodded without seeing any emotion, and then ordered someone to send the person out of the barracks.

After the messenger left, Qiao Xin handed the secret letter to Ji Rongshan on the side.

"Rongshan, what do you think?"

Ji Rongshan didn't dare to draw conclusions easily, so he had to tell his opinion truthfully.

"I've dealt with Yi Mingxue a few times, she is a person who is dedicated to business, and she doesn't look like she is colluding with the rebels. So the credibility of this piece of information is very high. ”

"No, I'm not talking about it." Qiao Xin shook his head.

Ji Rongshan pondered for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

Surprised: "You mean, this channel of her communication? ”

"Not bad! During this time, messengers between the camps were repeatedly ambushed by the rebels. A piece of information often needs to be sent out by more than a dozen teams in separate ways to have a chance of being successfully delivered. ”

"But this Yi Mingxue, I don't know what means she used, she was able to send superstition all the way to our camp unimpeded."

Qiao Xin's index finger tapped lightly on the table, "Have you seen the master copy of the information taken out by the person who reported the news?" Even if the characters on it are placed in front of you and me, they may not be recognized. ”

“…… But they can interpret it into a complete piece of information. ”

Ji Rongshan has followed Qiao Xin in the army for many years and knows how important the transmission of information in troubled times is.

Yi Mingxue's people can be accurate, fast, and top secret, which is undoubtedly a huge treasure.

Ji Rongshan no longer hesitated, and immediately got up.

"The subordinates will go here in person to bring this Yi Mingxue back."
