Listening to the footsteps, Jiang Ning relieved himself and let out a long breath, and there were already beads of sweat on his forehead.

Lu Yutong helped Jiang Ning to lie down on the bed again, and he was also quite jealous in his heart, fortunately he came today because he was a member of the Nangong family, if he changed to a Manichaean soldier, I am afraid that today would inevitably be another bloody battle.

Song Wan sent away the people of the Nangong family, and he also sent a sigh of relief, if he had to break in, the knife on his waist had already been pulled out.

Qiangzi brought back a canvas from outside, which was printed with the portraits of Jiang Ning and Lu Yutong, so the two could only stay in the blacksmith shop for a while, waiting for the limelight to pass before making plans.

Every day, Song Wan wandered in the ordinary alleys, collecting all kinds of news, and Jiang Ning also sent Song Wan to the alley for the first time to get back the box left behind, and the two hundred and forty gold in it took out one hundred gold for activities and news, and if possible, let the people who went out of the city pass the information outside, especially in the imperial court.

On the day of March 12, Jiang Ning just got out of bed to move, then took a walk with Lu Yutong in the small courtyard, Jinling in the spring of March, has taken off the cotton clothes, put on a green shirt, the small courtyard is full of flowers, quite a spring breath, the willow trees above the head also began to bud, the yellow oriole chirping, if you don't hear the sound of quarrels and blades from time to time, it must also be a good scene.

"I heard my sister say that the Nangong family sent a daughter into the palace to serve Fang La, this woman is also quite scheming, she was in charge of the Nangong family alone, but her brother is not angry, the Nangong family ...... in order to keep her at home to take care of the business" Lu Yutong helped Jiang Ning, as he spoke, as if he realized something, and paused in the middle.

Jiang Ning smiled, and said in a weak voice: "I see, but this happened a few days ago?" ”

"Well, what, you know?" Lu Yutong looked at Jiang Ningdao.

"Do you remember when I said that I came to Jinling to celebrate my birthday, do you know who I was celebrating my birthday for?" Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"I remember it seems to be ......" Lu Yutong's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Nangong family? ”

"Not bad......" Jiang Ning said the friendship between the Wang family and the Nangong family, and then said that Bai Yiyi risked death to save him, Lu Yutong listened to it and watched the fire, and now it seems that the Nangong family and Manichaeism have long colluded, and the major families also know about it, otherwise they would not have decided to run away at the first time, they are in Jinling, which is tantamount to fish and meat on the chopping board, slaughtered by others, and there are rumors before that these Manichaeans are everywhere, burning, killing and looting are all evil, and the gentry landlords are frightened when they hear it.

"This Nangong family is really too resolute, and there is no way back, if Manichaeism is defeated, wouldn't it be suspected of causing chaos?" Lu Yutong frowned.

Jiang Ning said: "This is Nangong Jing's cleverness. ”

"Clever? Where's the cleverness? Lu Yutong asked.

Jiang Ning said: "Things started from Nangong Mansion, but Nangong Mansion was also the first place to be attacked by Manichaeism, this is in everyone's eyes, the family is said to have died a lot, Song Wan brought back the news, Lu Qinghou and others entered Jinling on the same night, they sent troops to guard Nangong Mansion, in this way, it is equivalent to directly taking over Nangong Mansion, and now Nangong Wan has been taken to the palace, in other words, it can be said that Fang La's bullying of the people's daughters is not an exaggeration, so like this, it is not difficult for Nangong Mansion to be whitewashed, besides, Nangong Mansion is not short of money, even if the Great Xia Dynasty takes Jinling City, how much silver will the imperial court allot? ”

"Since the Nangong family has money, then just take the money to buy their lives, those fugitive families, if they don't leave, they may be able to get a piece of the pie, but they escaped, at best it is to flee, at best it is to abandon the city, but the Nangong family is not, one mouth is reversed black and white, it is not impossible, Nangong Jing is afraid that he will not go out for more than ten days, what is he thinking, what is he doing, how do we know?"

"Then according to what you say, the Nangong family is not only without fault, but has meritorious?" Lu Yutong said unhappily.

Jiang Ning laughed: "I didn't say it, all this will be decided in the future, but not now." ”

Jiang Ning thought that Nangong Wan could enter the palace and be rumored to be a saint, and it was not surprising to think about the letter in the box, but He Shili became a victim of politics.

And at this moment, Nangong Wan was in the palace, sitting on Fang La's lap, accompanying him to read the battle report in front of him.

"Well, go and invite the military, I have something important to discuss with him, and Marshal Deng." Fang La pinched Nangong Wan's ass and said to the palace maid beside her.

The maid of the palace bowed her head and left in a hurry.

Nangong Wan sat on Fang La's lap, and naturally could clearly see what was written on the two battle reports.

The first letter came from Gaoyou in Chuzhou, and the person named Si Xingfang said that he received a military order seven days ago, and now the army has marched towards Chuzhou, and he will be able to take Chuzhou in a few days, and ask Fang La for further actions after taking Chuzhou, whether to continue to attack and march to Haizhou, or to garrison Chuzhou and do a good job of defense, and there is a possibility, that is, directly along the Huainan Road, directly approaching Yingtianfu.

In Si Xingfang's view, the 100,000 army in his hands is already a sure thing to take Chuzhou, after all, according to the report, the strength of Chuzhou is only 15,000 people, and they are all government soldiers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

The second letter is sent from Chaohu, the name of the payment is Shibao, the big topic is not much different from what the company said, for the battle of Luzhou is determined to win, Luzhou extends in all directions, westward is Shouzhou Liu An and other places, take Shouzhou can enter the Central Plains, the north is the land of Haozhou and Suzhou, can be connected with Chuzhou, are feasible strategies, Luzhou will guard only 10,000, according to Shi Bao, go all out to attack the city, two days can be taken.

Nangong Wan got up and was about to leave, but she heard Fang La say: "You don't have to go, you are a saint, you are an assistant to me, I have been talking to you in the past few days, some of your opinions are quite pertinent, you can also listen to them, you don't have to tell them, just tell me." ”

Nangong Wan hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said: "The Holy Father's life, the little girl is only willing to always accompany the Holy Father, relieve fatigue for the Holy Father, and the military plan, the little girl is bold, and she doesn't dare to say a word or two, now is the time of the Spring and Autumn Cause of the Holy Father, and you must also beware of the words of the villain. ”

"Hmph, whoever dares to scream, I will cut off his tongue and divide the corpse." Fang La slapped the table suddenly, and the two columns of palace maids knelt down in unison.

"Huh." Fang La immediately smiled again, got up and walked in front of Nangong Wan: "Wan'er, please, hehe, I know that you think about me, if I am always Wan'er's idea, why worry about the big thing, the world is uncertain?" ”

"Go to the back of the account, listen to what they have to say, and think about what is the best choice, this is a big matter, and you have to do it deeply." Fang La helped Nangong Wan up.

Nangong Wan got up and said with a slight blessing: "Thank you, Holy Father." Then he walked towards the back of the tent and hid behind the bedside tent.

Fang La changed his clothes and sat on the middle hall, and after half an hour, Deng Yuanjue and Lu Qinghou entered the middle hall, and after saluting, Fang La let the two read the battle report on the front line.

The two glanced at each other, Fang La knew what he meant, and stepped back and said, "Now if the two of you have something to say, you can say it." ”

Deng Yuanjue said: "There is something that I just knew, I was about to come to meet Your Majesty with Brother Lu, and it happened that Your Majesty summoned me and hurried over. ”

As he spoke, he also took out a letter from his sleeve and personally put it on Fang La's dragon case.

The envelope was not signed, nor did it have a beginning, and after opening it, it was a plain white paper, but the information on it shocked Fang La after reading it.
