Shi Yu was stunned, is it such a coincidence, Weizhou is indeed in the west of Hecheng.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Shi Yu's reaction was wrong, Jiang Xia asked.

Shi Yu regained his expression and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just thought about sending a message to the Overseer and asking him to pay more attention." ”

Jing Heng only set off quietly with a very small number of people this time, on the surface, he is still in the barracks, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better.

As for the hexagram that Jiang Xia said......

Shi Yu held back the uneasiness in his heart and silently told himself that instead of believing in hexagrams, it was better to believe in Jing Heng.

Soon, Shi Yu ordered to go down and strengthen the defenses of all parts of the city, and if he encountered someone who was wrong, or something wrong, he would immediately report it to prevent Beiyuan from secretly making a move.

Although there was an accident with the grain and grass in Beiyuan, and Hecheng seemed to be safe for the time being, the solemn atmosphere did not dissipate.

In the evening, there was a light rain, and the air was damp and slightly cool, and when you took a deep breath, the coolness mixed with the earthy smell rushed straight to your heart.

Shen Qingshi finished dinner and walked to his room alone, and when he walked through the corridor, he saw a figure at the turn in front of him from a distance, hidden in the dim light, with his back to Shen Qingshi's direction, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Who's there?" Shen Qingshi subconsciously spoke.

After speaking, he was about to step forward, but a small servant came to deliver the letter behind him.

"Lord Shen, this is a letter from the Imperial City, it is for you."

"For me?" Shen Qingshi took it in surprise and nodded at the little guy, "Thank you." ”

When the little guy left, the man at the turn also walked out.

"Imperial Doctor Lin, it turned out to be you." Shen Qingshi looked at Lin Huaijin who came out.

Lin Huaijin smiled gently, "Lord Shen." ”

"Isn't your room on the west side, why is it here?" Shen Qingshi asked casually.

"Come out and take a walk, breathe." Lin Huaijin replied, as he spoke, his eyes swept over the letter in Shen Qingshi's hand, "Lord Shen's family letter?" ”

Shen Qingshi shook his head, "It shouldn't be." ”

When he opened the envelope and saw that the signature on it was Chu Yan, Shen Qingshi was stunned, and then his heart burst with joy.

It turned out to be Chu Yan!

Looking at the look of surprise on Shen Qingshi's face, Lin Huaijin didn't ask anything, but said with a smile: "Then I'll leave first, and don't disturb Lord Shen to read the letter." ”

"Okay." Shen Qingshi nodded hurriedly, waited until Lin Huaijin left, and began to read the letter carefully by the light of a lantern on the corridor.

In fact, there was nothing special written on the letter, but the imperial city had already known that the two countries were at war, and Chu Yan couldn't rest assured, so he wrote a letter to ask if they were okay.

Although he didn't just mention himself in the letter, when he thought that this was the first letter Chu Yan had written to him, Shen Qingshi felt happy and excited in his heart.

Carefully folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope, Shen Qingshi quickened his pace and went back to the room to reply to Chu Yan.

The spring night is quiet, but for the border pass and Hecheng at this moment, every night cannot be taken lightly.

Early the next morning, shortly after they got up, they received news that they had caught several assassins who wanted to infiltrate Crane City last night, and also captured two husbands who intended to set fire to it.

After this incident, the defending generals of Hecheng were even more energetic, for fear of any accidents, not only strengthened the guards, but also began to check all parts of the city during the day.

At nightfall, a not-so-good news came from the barracks, Beiyuan successfully raised grain and grass, although it was estimated that it was only enough for two or three days, but it was enough for them to support the escorted grain and grass until they arrived.

Once the Beiyuan grain and grass crisis is resolved, the next thing to do is naturally to continue to launch an offensive, and this time, the offensive may be more fierce than before.

"Now I can only wait for the news from General Wang Ye's side, I hope he can successfully intercept the grain and grass in Beiyuan." Su Cheng spoke seriously.

"Indeed." Shi Yu nodded in response.

"After all, General Wang Ye has been stationed at the border for many years and has rich experience, so there should be no surprises." Shen Qingshi's tone was firm, but it sounded more like words of comfort.

It's just that neither Shi Yu nor Su Cheng broke it, but silently agreed with Shen Qingshi's words, and naturally couldn't pour cold water on his own people at this time.

Fortunately, Wang Ye's side went even more smoothly than they imagined.

Another day passed, although a lot of manpower was lost, Wang Ye and the remaining soldiers returned to the barracks with most of the grain and grass in Beiyuan.

When Shi Yu and the others got the news and rushed to the barracks, the entire barracks was full of joy, and many people were jubilant.

"I have seen the emperor, and the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, not only blocking the grain and grass escort in Beiyuan, but also bringing back some grain and grass!"

Wang Ye clenched his fists and knelt down on one knee to speak, with bandages wrapped around both arms, and a wound on his face about two inches, obviously having experienced a vicious battle.

The soldiers behind him were all slightly or severely wounded, but everyone was in good spirits.

"You've done a great job." Shi Yu stretched out his hand to help Wang Ye up, "This time you have made great contributions, and when the war is over, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ye spoke again, although he was injured, he still sounded like a bell and was full of energy.

Nie Mingyu, who was on the side, looked at this situation and didn't say much.

After Wang Ye and the others retreated, Shi Yu asked Nie Mingyu, "Uncle Huang, you don't seem to be very happy?" ”

"The grain and grass in Beiyuan were robbed, which is naturally a great thing, but this king is always a little unsteady in his heart."

"Are you worried that Beiyuan's side is in a hurry, and will make a desperate bet and start a war immediately?" Shi Yu said.

Nie Mingyu shook his head, "I can't say." ”

He couldn't describe the feeling, there was no reason or basis, it was more like an intuition.

In short, the worry in his heart did not decrease because he succeeded in blocking the grain and grass, but faintly gave birth to a more uneasy feeling.

Taking a deep breath, Nie Mingyu softened his expression and said to Shi Yu: "Maybe this king is worried, a lot of adjustments have been made in the past few days, even if Beiyuan attacks now, we may not fall behind, the emperor should not be affected by this king." ”

Shi Yu nodded, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Huang, has there been a message from the overseer?" ”

"Nope." Nie Mingyu shook his head, "Calculating the time, he should have only arrived in Weizhou for a short time, and he may be busy investigating and not bothering to write letters." ”

Shi Yu nodded in response, didn't say anything more, and after staying in the barracks for half an hour, he returned to Hecheng.

However, no one expected that on the same night, a soldier eagerly knocked on the gate of Tsurucheng and sent a very bad news......
