Chapter 130: Secret Deal

Chen Ruzhi also realized that this matter was important, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so he invited Lin Feng and Leng Xuanyue, who were with him to Lin Zhendong's tent, out.

Lin Zhendong, who was seriously injured, looked at Chen Ruzhi and asked the two of them out to make a deep gesture at the end of the year, but he didn't show it immediately, feeling that Chen Ruzhi was still very knowledgeable about current affairs.

When the two of them went out, they directly told them all the things they knew.

"Some time ago, when the last general was leading people to patrol, he accidentally found traces of the southerners in the territory, and because he was worried that they would make some trouble in the territory, he specially asked people to follow them."

"But I didn't expect that some of them were discovered, and the other part escaped death and was seriously injured, but they also brought back a very important news."

When he said this, Lin Zhendong didn't know if it was deliberate, or he couldn't remember the incident, so he paused here in the middle of his words.

Looking at Lin Zhendong in front of him, who didn't know if it was because of the wound pain or the headache, Chen Ruzhi frowned.

"General Lin said that it doesn't matter, this king will arrange for his subordinates to do those things that should be done, and as for the wounded soldiers under General Lin, this king will also find someone to take care of their injuries."

Lin Zhendong changed his posture on the couch and began to continue: "The last general's people found that those southerners who came to the territory seemed to be making secret transactions with the people in my territory, and wantonly hoarded war materials in the valley to the south."

"Then the general, your people can find out what they have in these deals?" Chen Ruzhi didn't expect that the people from the south would trade with the people in the territory so hatefully, and presumably the ambush at the racecourse was inseparable from them.

Lin Zhendong shook his head and said that he didn't know very well, but he already had a very bold guess in his heart.

"I don't know this, but I guess it should be, war horses, grain, copper mines, these things, after all, we need these things to fight, if we don't have these things, we may not be able to fight this war."

After listening to these words, the expression on Chen Ruzhi's face can be said to be very exciting, and he glanced at it again, because he had just woken up and reported the situation to himself, resulting in Lin Zhendong, who was now very pale.

I didn't want to continue to ask him what he meant, so I asked Zhang Zhao to lie down on the bed with the young general who was waiting, and let him rest well.

"General Lin's discovery is to help this king, and you are here to live and recuperate, and this king has his own decision." After saying that, Chen Ruzhi left a sentence and left in a hurry.

has been waiting outside the tent, Leng Xuanyue and Lin Feng who came out of Chen Ruzhi, and Chen Ruzhi came out in a hurry, and hurriedly followed.

"Lord, what new discoveries have you made?"

Leng Xuanyue was very puzzled by what Lin Zhendong and Chen Ruzhi said in the camp just now, and as soon as she caught up with Chen Ruzhi's footsteps, she couldn't wait to know the truth of the matter.

Chen Ruzhi also wanted to tell him what he knew, but he was afraid that there would be those eavesdroppers around, so he said, "Let's go back and talk about this matter, and be careful of the eyes around us."

This made Lin Feng, who originally wanted to follow Leng Xuanyue to ask Chen Ruzhi on the side, subconsciously closed his mouth, and on the way back, he didn't forget to observe the surrounding situation and make sure that there were no suspicious characters.

However, in the end, after Chen Ruzhi and Leng Xuanyue entered the camp tent, they specially circled around to ensure safety before entering Chen Ruzhi's camp tent.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have just walked around here for two or three miles, and they haven't found any suspicious characters."

After Lin Feng entered, he found that Chen Ruzhi and Leng Xuanyue seemed to be waiting for him, so he hurriedly told him what he had just investigated, and said that there was no one around.

Seeing this, Chen Ruzhi was relieved, looked at Leng Xuanyue and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will take all the people to the valley in the south to investigate the situation, and if you find anything wrong, you will immediately send red smoke as a signal."

Although I don't know why Chen Ruzhi suddenly wanted to let himself explore the valley

situation, Leng Xuanyue still nodded and agreed.

"Remember, you must do it secretly, and don't let too many people know."

"Leave this matter to me, don't worry." Leng Xuanyue has always done things very safely, and many things are done unconsciously, so this point is very sure that it can be done.

Lin Feng on the side was a little puzzled, "Lord Wang, but General Lin provided some useful clues, so you suddenly want to explore the valley?"

Although Chen Ruzhi very much recognized the clues provided by Lin Zhendong, he did not guarantee that he did not have any suspicions about Lin Zhendong.

When the horse farm in the territory was attacked, most of the men and horses of the other generals were basically damaged, why did Lin Zhendong's men and horses only lose a small part, and they were all injured because of saving the horses.

Not only that, but he also had a lot of information, and when Leng Xuanyue asked just now, he didn't seem very willing to let others know, but he told him and Zhang Zhao.

This made Chen Ruzhi a little suspicious, but in order to be able to confirm the authenticity of the matter as soon as possible, he asked Leng Xuanyue to go to the valley early tomorrow morning to investigate the situation.

"Lin Feng, you have been observing the generals who have dealings with General Lin more recently, closely observing General Lin's every move, if there is any suspicious move, you must report it to this king as soon as possible."

Chen Ruzhi didn't directly tell Lin Feng what he told him in Lin Zhendong's tent just now, but let him secretly monitor Lin Zhendong, because he always felt that this matter was not simple.

"Yes, Lord."

As for the prince who did not immediately answer the question he just asked, but let himself closely observe General Lin Zhendong's every move, presumably the prince has also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"If it is all right, go down." Chen Ruzhi left the two of them in the room for a short while, and then gave the eviction order.

At the same time, the Kyoto Hou Mansion

Bai Wanrou's elder brother Bai Qingting followed Bai Wanrou's instructions and sent his father Bai Fengqi back to the mansion safely.

Thinking that he would have to live in Jian'an Wangfu for the next few days, he returned to his courtyard, took a few changes of clothes, and was about to go back to Jian'an Wangfu directly, but was stopped by Bai Fengqi who came in a hurry.

"Ting'er, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay and have lunch before leaving, because my father has something to tell you."

For Bai Fengqi's retention, this made Bai Qingting a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, after all, he was now living in the Jian'an Palace, and it was all to protect his sister.

Thinking that his father must have something to tell him, he agreed to stay for lunch before leaving, and put the packed package on the table in the room.

Although Bai Fengqi said that he would leave his son after lunch and let him leave, he was now standing in his son's room and had no intention of leaving.

Bai Qingting thought that his father was embarrassed to say something, so he took the initiative to speak, "Father, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly?"

Bai Fengqi, who was standing there and didn't know how to speak, heard this, so he first made it in front of the table and poured himself a glass of water, pretending to be sad.

"Alas, it's all because my father is useless, I can't protect your sister, I originally wanted to worry about your sister's safety, and wanted her to return to the Hou Mansion to live here for some time, but I didn't expect her to be unwilling, which made my father really feel a little cold."

Listening to his father say this, Bai Qingting was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, in his eyes, his sister was very understanding.

Thinking that even if she rejected her father, it was because he was now a married daughter, and it might not be appropriate to go back to assist.

"Father, don't say that, Rou'er is quite safe in the palace now, aren't there so many people in the Jian'an Palace? They can protect Rou'er."

Originally, Bai Fengqi had a purpose in talking to his son, but now that he heard him say this, he said in passing, "Yes, there are so many people in the palace who can protect Rou'er.

After saying this, he sighed deliberately, and his scheming eyes were constantly turning back and forth at the moment, as if he asked inadvertently:

"Ting'er, you should know everything about the palace during these days in the palace, right? Do you know where the people in the palace who were left behind by the prince to protect Rou'er have been arranged?"

Originally, I thought that Bai Fengqi really cared about Bai Wanrou, so he would leave him behind and leave after lunch, but he didn't expect him to know this.

This made Bai Qingting instantly feel that his father was inhumane, and even the expression on his face revealed his displeasure with his father's behavior.

"Father, the son only stayed in the Jian'an Mansion last night because he was worried that his sister would be frightened, and now I don't know what you said, if you don't have anything else, the son will go to the palace first, and he won't come back in the next few days."

After that, Bai Qingting was about to pick up the table and leave the few clothes he had sorted out just now.

"Ting'er, for my father, this is caring for your sister!" As soon as he saw that Bai Qingting was leaving, Bai Fengqi got up from the chair in a hurry and blocked his way.

Looking at Bai Fengqi in front of him, who did not hesitate to sell his children for the sake of profit, Bai Qingting felt that he was very strange for the first time, and expressed his dissatisfaction with his treatment of Bai Wanrou like this.

"Concerned about Rou'er? Is there one you care so about? What are you doing with me to inquire about the troops on the other side of the palace? Do you want to see how many people the prince has left, and do you want Rou'er to be attacked again? After all these years, haven't you used Rou'er enough?"

Bai Fengqi didn't expect his son, who had always been respectful to him, to talk to him like this, so he was stunned and didn't know what to do, but he was afraid that he would leave directly like this, so he grabbed his arm tightly.
