Dingguo Gong and Lu Yuntao successfully captured Zhuchuan County and captured hundreds of people from the Western Jinyun Kingdom, including Hou Chuanyun, the general of the Western Jinyun Kingdom.

The Western Jinyun Kingdom is composed of a large number of tribes, the largest of which is the Tuoba Tribe, in which the Tuoba surname is respected and the surnames of several famous families are honored.

This includes the Hou clan.

Hou Chuanyun is a descendant of the Hou family, and has a certain prestige in the Tuoba Department and even the entire Western Jinyun Kingdom.

After capturing Hou Chuanyun, he had the confidence to negotiate some conditions with Xi Jinyunguo.

"That's great news." Qin Peiyou was overjoyed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." When Tuoba Yu heard the news, he made a big salute in a dignified manner, "I have a reluctant request, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can agree."

Qin Peiyou closed the door and said in a low voice, "Prince Yu doesn't have to be so polite, if you have something to say, you can just say it."

"Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promise me to meet General Hou?" Tuoba Yu said, "Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, I also have contacts with the Hou family, and I have known Prince Yu since childhood, and I have some friendship."

"Although General Hou is brave and good at fighting, he does not advocate war like Tuoba Duan, and he has more ambition to serve the country and the people in his heart, and he is a reasonable person, if I can have a good talk with General Hou, I may be able to persuade General Hou to oppose Tuoba Duan."

Behind Hou Chuanyun is the entire Hou clan.

As Tuoba Yu said, if he could convince Hou Chuanyun, maybe he would have a chance to pull the entire Hou clan into his camp.

The clans between the tribes are inextricably linked, and the Hou clan will definitely contact other clansmen, if they can gather the forces to oppose the war in the West Jinyun Country, and when Tuoba Yu is safely sent back to the West Jinyun Country, they can be attacked inside and outside to completely eradicate the Tuoba Duan.

Qin Peiyou and He Yanxiu glanced at each other, and both of them nodded slightly in unison.

"I understand what Prince Yu means." Qin Peiyou said, "I will order someone to send a letter to the Duke of Given, treat General Hou well, and arrange for Prince Yu to meet with General Hou."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Tuoba Yu thanked him repeatedly.

The good news that the Great Qin army had recaptured Zhuchuan County soon spread throughout the border passes, and all the soldiers stationed in the city were excited and overjoyed when they heard the news.

But when He Liangyi heard the news, his expression sank.

Didn't you say that you were going to attack Yuanping County, why did it suddenly become Zhuchuan County.

But when listening to the people below talk about this matter, it was also mentioned that Zou Yunqi also led an army to attack Yuanping County, although there were some gains, but it did not cause substantial damage to the defending army of Xijinyun Kingdom.

Is it carried out on both sides at the same time, but Zhuchuan County was beaten down?

No, probably not.

Judging from the situation arranged by the generals on both sides, their purpose is only Zhuchuan County, and Yuanping County is just a pretense.

But they announced to the outside world that they were going to attack Yuanping County......

Do you know that there is a woman in the army?

Then do they know, is that inner girl him?

He Liangyi was so worried that even in the middle of the night, he still couldn't sleep because of this.

Moonlight spilled into the house through the window paper, and even the mottled shadows of the branches in the courtyard falling on the windows could be seen clearly.

He Liangyi looked at the shadow of the tree, but his eyes widened in an instant.

A figure stopped at the window and stayed for a long time.

Are you here to keep an eye on him?

Just as He Liangyi shook his head, the shadow moved quickly, and after a while, the door was opened with a "squeak", and the figure flashed into the room and quickly closed the door.

He Liangyi hurriedly closed his eyes without thinking.

After closing his eyes, he could no longer see the scene around him, but He Liangyi could feel the figure approaching him through his breath.

The figure stayed at the head of his bed for a moment, as if to check to see if he was asleep.

He Liangyi tried his best to keep his breathing steady, pretending to be asleep, aside

Prick up your ears and listen carefully.

It squirms, like the sound of paper being opened.

This is followed by a subtle sound when the water hits the wall of the cup when the glass is shaken.

After both sounds died down, He Liangyi heard the sound of doors opening and closing, as well as small footsteps, again.

The footsteps faded away, and He Liangyi dared to open his eyes.

After confirming that there were no more suspicious figures in front of the window, He Liangyi struggled to pick up the water cup on the bed next to him.

On the edge of the water glass, there is still some unknown powder left.

Obviously, the purpose of the person who came in was to put these medicinal powders.

But in this courtyard, you can avoid the layers of guards outside the courtyard, the dense patrol guards in the courtyard, and the guards outside the door......

It can only be those who are familiar to the guards.

Did they find out what he was doing, so they poisoned him and let him die quietly?

Or did he fail to deliver the news because of the attack on Zhuchuan County by the Great Qin army, which angered Tuoba Duan's dissatisfaction, so he sent someone to kill him?

But no matter who wants to do this, if he dies like this, it will save him some trouble, and even save his dignity.

He Liangyi hesitated for a moment and drank the water in the cup cleanly.

Then he gasped and lay on the bed, staring wide-eyed at the moonlight that he could see on the last night of his life.

After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes......

----

The news of Dingguo Gong and Lu Yuntao leading the army to recover Zhuchuan County soon spread to Shilin County.

When Su Yujin and Lu Wenjing heard about this, they were both overjoyed.

Especially Lu Wenjing, the whole person almost laughed like a peony flower, "Grandfather is out of the horse, it's really different, old and strong!"

"It's nature." Su Yujin echoed on the side, "Dingguo Gong is strategizing and has excellent ability, so he naturally wins a big victory."

"In that case, we should celebrate." Lu Wenjing blinked.

Where is this to celebrate, it is clearly greedy.

Su Yujin stretched out his hand and nodded Lu Wenjing's forehead, "You said that since this is the case, then we will eat stewed mutton soup at noon."

"Hmm...... Eat it with the scones here." Su Yujin thought about it and added another sentence.

Lamb is abundant in this place, and there are many delicacies that use lamb as an ingredient, and stewed mutton soup is one of them.

The lamb is stewed with lamb bones, and the soup is white, and the rich green onions, coriander and pepper are added to stimulate the deliciousness of the broth, and even drinking two large bowls will not feel boring.

The scones here are somewhat similar to the hanging oven baked cakes in Qinghe County, but they are larger and more crispy and fragrant to eat.

Especially if these two things are from Su Yujin's hands, there is a bonus of cooking skills, and the deliciousness is doubled!
