Volume 2 A Trip to the Northern Xinjiang Chapter 156 Another Letter
Xue Zhen was in the military camp in the north of the town all these days, and he didn't even find time to go back to the General's Mansion.
In addition to military intelligence, mainly because Xiao Ningchen always looked for opportunities in the military camp to show his status as a superintendent of the army, so that Xue Zhen had to deal with him, and all his energy outside of business was involved in such trivial matters.
Xue Zhen didn't mind King Huai's flaunting of his might in the army, but he minded his spying and provocation among the generals, and even more mind his fingering of the military deployment in northern Xinjiang.
It's just that Xiao Ningchen really has very little ability, he has to know everything and intervene, but because he really can't put forward useful suggestions, in the end, it is still the generals of Northern Xinjiang led by Xue Zhen who make a decision.
"The general is like this, didn't he give King Huai an excuse?" Mr. Lin, his think tank in the army, said, "He has to pass the secret fold to Beijing every day, and there will definitely be no good words."
Mr. Lin's name is Lin Qi, and he used to assist his father, but after his father died, Lin Qi stayed behind, and has been silently helping him take care of affairs from the capital to northern Xinjiang.
Xue Zhen couldn't hear Xiao Ningchen's voice for a while, and he really didn't want to listen to King Huai's affairs anymore, so he pressed his temples and said indifferently:
"It's okay, Your Majesty won't be so confused that you just listen to him, and King Huai should know why he's here? Hengzhu has recently had military exploits, and he can't be treated badly."
Lin Qi sighed, and everyone looked a lot of vicissitudes: "The general could have ...... Why is that?"
Xue Zhen smiled: "We've said it many times, Mr. should understand me, so why bother talking about it?"
"It's because the prince has a great wish," Lin Qi said solemnly, "I don't want the prince to give his life for such a senseless fight."
「…… I'm not still alive."
"But in the future, I will resist the suspicion of the king and conquer the world with my crippled body," Lin Qi was even more dissatisfied, "So the prince, listen to the old man's advice, don't always compete with him."
Xue Zhen had no intention of arguing with him any longer, and was about to change the topic and talk about the new idea of the military camp, when suddenly a herald outside: "General Yu, the brave general Tao Shu of the third battalion of the capital, General Tao is asking to see him outside the camp gate."
Xue Zhen was stunned for a moment, and looked at the drip on the side, it was already the end of the Shen time.
And after Tao Shu sent a letter to himself who was still in Huimao at that time, he should have returned to Beijing, so why did he suddenly turn back?
Xue Zhen glanced at Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin understood and walked behind the screen. , Xue Zhen commanded:
"Come in, please."
In a short time, Tao Shu strode into the tent with the air of a servant, and the two horses that followed him carried a well-tied sack.
"Brother Ziyan, this is ......" Xue Zhen frowned slightly, staring at the sack and asked.
"Shh," Tao Shu made a silent gesture as he told his men to throw things on the ground, "Go out of the tent and stay away."
"Yes." His two horses retreated obediently, but the sergeant on Xue Zhen's side naturally did not move.
Seeing this, Xue Zhen also raised his hand and said to the sergeant, "Go outside and guard twenty steps away, and no one is allowed to approach."
"Yes!" The sergeants withdrew.
"Brother Ziyan, what the hell is going on?" Xue Zhen asked, lifting his chin towards the sack, "Who is there?"
Tao Shu didn't speak immediately, just looked at his gaze, and there was a hint of sympathy.
"Zhong Jing, some fate is just a bad fate after all, and you don't like her anyway......" He spoke with difficulty, and the first sentence was an inexplicable comfort.
Xue Zhen was still stunned for a moment, only to realize that the person Tao Shu said was about Li Yuejiao.
His heart suddenly tightened, and every time he thought of her before, he would always feel sick in his heart, shouting in his body again.
Not because I heard her name, but because I heard people comment directly on their relationship in front of him.
Tao Shu saw that his face became ugly, and he thought that he didn't like to hear Li Yuejiao, so he immediately stopped and didn't say anything, but took out a letter from his arms, and looked at the color on the envelope, and knew that the letter was a few years old
Head.
He handed the letter to Xue Zhen and said solemnly:
"On my way back to Beijing, I bumped into this person, and I thought he was sneaky, so I followed him for two days, looking for an opportunity to take him, and as a result, I found this on his body. Zhong Jing, you must be calm."
Xue Zhen looked at the envelope and didn't even need to open it to think of what might be in the letter.
is related to Li Yuejiao, which can make Tao Shu say such a thing as if he were facing a great enemy.
He took the letter and opened it.
Sure enough, it was another letter between Tang Ying and Shan Yetang, which was written about Tang Ying's understanding and application of firearms.
The opening chapter is written about the senior brother, and the date of the payment office is exactly December eight years ago.
In May of the following year, the bombing occurred.
Xue Zhen carefully read every delicate and neat little word on the letter, and the blood churning in his heart was just as he had when he first got those clues.
Only this time, he could be sure that the letter was intended for him, and perhaps not for him.
These contents are very similar to the contents of the two letters that Li Yuejiao confessed to him.
Tao Shu looked at Xue Zhen's uncertain expression, thinking that he was stunned, so he could only ask cautiously, "Zhong Jing, I remember, my younger sister's mother...... It seems that the surname is Tang?"
Xue Zhen folded the letter, calmed down the surging blood, stared down at the sack on the ground, and asked slowly for a long time:
"Where did Brother Ziyan catch this person?"
"Beigui County Boundary." Tao Shu immediately said, "He's coming to the north."
Xue Zhen was speechless.
No, there is something wrong with things that he can't say.
He was about to open the sackcloth bag and interrogate him properly, when suddenly another voice sounded outside: "General, Madame has sent someone to say that there is an urgent matter to see the general."
Tao Shu immediately became nervous, and Xue Zhen signaled that Tao Shu was okay, and said loudly, "Let him in."
Soon, Hu Mu entered the camp tent, and suddenly saw Tao Shu, including Tao Shu, frowning almost invisibly and not speaking.
Xue Zhen glanced at him, "Madame, what's wrong?" But it doesn't hurt to say that."
"Yes." Hu Mu pondered, but still didn't tell the truth in public, but said, "That Chen Niangzi has arrived in Anhua County."
Chen Sanniang? Xue Zhen thought about it for a while, and then said to Tao Shu, "I will arrange for someone to send Brother Ziyan to rest in the city mansion." Then he pointed to the sack and said to Hu Mu, "Send this to Madame."
"Yes." Hu Mu immediately went over, put the sack on his shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Zhong Jing." Tao Shu called him worriedly.
"Brother Ziyan, don't worry, I know this letter in my heart. Thank you, brother." Xue Zhen said, bowing solemnly.
Tao Shu moved his mouth and didn't continue to speak, just shook his head helplessly, and followed Xue Zhen out of the camp tent.
Unexpectedly, he saw Xiao Ningchen, the king of Huai, leading people outside, but because of the obstruction of the sergeant, he could not walk within twenty steps of the camp.
Seeing Xue Zhen come out, Xiao Ningchen's already gloomy face became even more ugly: "Zhong Jing, it's so late, what are you doing?"
He recognized Tao Shu and frowned: "General Tao? Why are you here?"
Tao Shu saluted Xiao Ningchen: "I have seen King Huai, the last general is not here for a military position, but for a private trip here, so I came to see Zhong Jing."
Say it above board.
Xue Zhen had already walked in front of Xiao Ningchen and arched his hand, "Your Highness, this is just a private matter of the last general's family, not a military situation, so it is inconvenient to report it to Your Highness. The last general is going back to his house tonight, and the affairs of the army are taken care of by their own generals, and there is a prince in charge, so it must be foolproof."
"What private matter ......?"
But before Xiao Ningchen finished speaking, Xue Zhen had already passed by him and left in a hurry.
What Xiao Ningchen was about to say later was choked in his throat, and he looked extremely embarrassed in front of the sergeants.
He hates
Staring at Xue Zhen's back, the doubts and hatred in his heart swelled infinitely.
*
Before Chen Sanniang brought Su Fang and Yanmo to Li Yuejiao's mansion, Li Yuejiao had already been mentally prepared for the appearance of those two people because of Chen Sanniang's words.
It's just that when the two couples really appeared in front of her, Li Yuejiao was still shocked by their appearance and gasped.
The clouds on the side exclaimed even more in surprise, and they covered their mouths again, looking at Li Yuejiao helplessly.
Su Fang's face was intricately intertwined with countless knife marks, and the exposed skin on her hands and neck were all severe burns, which made it difficult for Li Yuejiao to distinguish whether she was a man or a woman.
And Yanmo's two legs were cut off from the knee down, and one ear was cut off, and there were also several old knife wounds on his face.
From the moment they entered the door, the two people looked at Li Yuejiao in horror, their bodies kept trembling, and they were even more close to Chen Sanniang, as if only her presence could make them feel at ease.
"Your name is ......" Li Yuejiao sat opposite them, and it took a long time to calm down and decide to talk to them.
But as soon as the words came out, the man and woman on the other side wailed, fell to the ground, and kept shrinking back, and said upside down:
"Don't kill us, don't kill us...... Mrs. Chen, you said you wouldn't kill us......
Mrs. Chen immediately squatted down to help them, comforting, "Yes, no one will kill you......
But before she finished her words, Su Yi pointed at Li Yuejiao and said sharply:
"I know she...... She is a girl from the Li family! She is the granddaughter-in-law of Lord Hou! You said you were going to vindicate our grievances! You lied to us! You're lying to us!"
There is no need for more words, just this sentence, Li Yuejiao knows that what Chen Sanniang said is the truth.
Li Yuejiao opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but Su Fang just screamed and didn't give her a chance to interject at all.
Now that it was evening outside, Chen Sanniang heard her shouting so badly, for fear of being heard, she simply covered her mouth and knocked people out with a knife in one hand.
Seeing this, Yan Mo exclaimed in despair.
He had no legs, so he could only desperately hold the unconscious Su Fang with his hands, and pleaded in a hoarse voice:
"Kill me, don't kill her, she doesn't know anything, she doesn't know anything."
"I'm not going to kill you." Li Yuejiao finally found a chance to speak, and immediately said, "Yanmo, your name is Yanmo, right? I'm not going to kill you, I really won't."
Grinder stopped screaming and stared at her distrustfully.
"Miss, you really won't kill us?" He asked, dumb and trembling.
