Seeing the flush on her face that had not yet disappeared, Chu Yan's eyes were deep, and there seemed to be residual softness on the woman's skin on her fingertips.

Thinking of the scene just now, he pursed his lips, said "um" and went outside.

The dry and biting cold wind blew in, and the heat in his body was no longer turbulent. He looked at the person beside him, his indifferent gaze revealing fierceness, "What's the progress?" ”

The people who came to report were the officers and soldiers stationed here, and when Chu Yan came out of the house, he remembered that Su Liuye had come to the mine, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

Chu Yan glared at him before he hurriedly reported, "Mr. Chu, people didn't catch up!" ”

Chu Yan's face turned cold.

The officers and soldiers were afraid that he would be angry, so they hurriedly said, "Our men chased all the way up the mountain, but they threw the carriage on the side of the road and ran along the mountain road!" We chased all the way to the bottom of the mountain, they had already gone in another carriage, and our men were still chasing! ”

That being said, Chu Yan also knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to catch up.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and there is a wind and snow, let alone a horse-drawn carriage, and it is difficult to even walk up the mountain. The officers and men finally chased them to the mountain, but the cunning gangsters temporarily abandoned the carriage and ran all the way to the foot of the mountain to change to another carriage.

The officers and soldiers did not know this, and directly abandoned their horses to chase them, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that they had been fooled, and at that time, they had no time to look for the horses, so they could only watch them leave.

"Mr. Chu, guessing from the direction they are going, they are probably going here!" The officers and soldiers took out the map they had prepared long ago, pointed to the direction of the border, and said, "If they go all the way south, the final destination will be the barbarian!" Mr. Chu, the person behind the scenes should be a barbarian. ”

"Prepare your horses and go now!"

Hearing the barbarian, Chu Yan's face appeared with slaughter.

The officers and soldiers immediately went to prepare their horses, and they were sure to stop the barbarians before they returned to the border, and if they waited until the drawings were handed over to the barbarians, they would surely suffer countless casualties!

The Great Xia Kingdom has always been at odds with the barbarians, and there will be conflicts on the border almost every year, and the barbarians want to get the rich land of the Great Xia Kingdom, and they ruthlessly kill countless ordinary people in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Great Xia Kingdom also hates the barbarians.

What's more, there has been news of frequent harassment from the barbarians on the other side of the border, and it is estimated that they want to attack them again.

Although the barbarians were brave and good at fighting, they lacked military training, and in terms of weapons, in addition to bows and arrows, they could only pick up what was left over from the battlefield. When the two armies went to war, the barbarians were defeated almost every time, but the Xia Kingdom did not get any benefits, and could only rely on the superiority in weapons to repel the people, and there were a large number of casualties every time, although the wealth of the Great Xia Kingdom could not withstand such attrition.

On the other hand, the barbarians, they are just inferior in weapons, and the casualties are far lighter than those of the Great Xia Kingdom, and they are only afraid that they will consume the Great Xia Kingdom to death in the long run.

This time, the military department finally developed a new weapon, and the emperor ordered someone to hurry up and build it, Xiao Yun happened to be sent to supervise the mine in Pingyang Town, and Chu Yan also had to come with him.

If the blueprints of the new weapon were really obtained by the barbarians, it would lead to the annihilation of the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, and their only advantage would be gone.

So the drawings are to be chased back no matter what!

Chu Yan returned to the room, and there were two lit charcoal stoves in the room, which warmly dispelled the cold. The woman who had been sitting on the bed was already fully dressed, and when she heard the door open, she blushed and looked at him, and the unlost emotion in her eyes teased his emotions like a feather.

Chu Yan suddenly felt dry again, but thinking that the officers and soldiers should come to him in a while, he forcibly suppressed his emotions and stepped forward and said, "Ah Liu, the officers and soldiers chasing the miners have probably already grasped some news, I want to go over and take a look now, you can wait for me here." ”

"Shall you leave now?"

Su Liuye knew that this matter had a huge impact, and Chu Yan had to deal with it as soon as possible, but when he really heard that he was leaving, his heart still felt empty, and they had just met Chu Yan and was leaving.

Thinking about her, her heart was sour, and her eyes were slightly red.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yan hugged the person into his arms in pain and comforted him softly, "Ah Liu, don't worry, I will be back soon." Those people don't go far, just catch them and I'll be back. ”

"I know."

Su Liuye leaned into his arms and listened to his powerful heartbeat. Thinking that the New Year was just a few days away, she said softly, "Husband, the New Year is coming soon, and Lianlian is still waiting for me in the capital." If you don't come back a year ago, I'll go back with Xiao Wu first. ”

"Okay."

Chu Yan agreed without much hesitation, after all, it is much safer in the capital than here, this is a house in the mountains, and a large number of miners come in and out every day, which is indeed inconvenient.

"When the time comes, you talk to the steward of the mine, and let him arrange for someone to send you back, not just Xiao Wu."

"I see, husband."

Feeling the man's concern for her, Su Liuye's heart was slightly warm.

The two said intimate words again, and Su Liuye took advantage of the time to pack up dry food for him and let him take it with him on the road.

When the horses were ready, Chu Yan left, leaving Zhou Shan, the manager of the mine, here, and one person who was the deputy head of the officers and soldiers, named Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei is a person under Chu Yan, who is only responsible for managing the officers and soldiers outside, and Zhou Shan is in charge of everything in the mine.

Su Liuye went to the door of the mansion and watched Chu Yan turn over and get on the horse. Perhaps sensing her gaze, the man suddenly turned his head as he left, and his deep eyes looked at her fixedly.

Only after others urged him did Chu Yan whip away, and the horse trampled the snow on the ground and splashed up.

Su Liuye watched all the way until his back disappeared into the pipe.

Back in the courtyard, Xiao Wu had already returned, and he was anxiously trying to go out, until he saw her head-on, Xiao Wu was surprised, "Mrs. Chu, why did you go out?" I thought you didn't come back and was trying to go out and find you! ”

"No, I just went outside to do something." Su Liuye said, looking at the person behind him.

She still remembered that Chu Yan deliberately suppressed his voice when he spoke to her, avoiding the surrounding ears and eyes, if she guessed correctly, there were traitors among these miners!

Chu Yan didn't know who else was, so he could only suppress his voice to talk to her, so as not to be heard.

Xiao Wu is also a smart person, after seeing Su Liuye's small movements, she immediately put on a relieved expression, "It's okay!" Mrs. Chu, I just went to the small village at the foot of the mountain and bought a lot of snacks for you. ”
