Qin Yuefeng seemed to be casually eating and asked who I saw today.

My heart instantly stiffened, and my mind went blank for several seconds.

"Huh?" I asked subconsciously.

Looking at my reaction, Qin Yuefeng raised his eyebrows, and instead put down the meal, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"It's just casual...... I calmed down: "You know, I don't know anyone in this barracks, and you're so busy......"

My mouth was deflated as I spoke, and my expression was still full of grievances, and I looked like a little daughter-in-law.

Qin Yuefeng looked at it, raised his big hand, touched my head, and said, "It's just an ordinary way to ask you, how Xiuxiu is still wronged like this." As he spoke, he lowered his head and rubbed his lips against my red eyes.

Originally, I thought that Qin Yuefeng had found out about my connection with my little brother, after all, although this Qin family's military camp was large, it was really in Qin Yuefeng's hands, if he wanted to know something, it would be very easy.

But now, seeing Qin Yuefeng's natural expression, it seems that he really just asks casually, and he has settled down at the moment, and the grievances in his heart are even more real.

It's not me who has wronged me, but the news that my brother Mingzhe was captured by the crown prince, which really makes me sleep.

"Qin Lang," I hesitated and hesitated, but still whispered: "Actually...... Today I...... I heard what you said in the Great Tent. ”

"I know. Qin Yuefeng said lightly: "After listening to the guard's description, I knew that it must be you." ”

"My brother......" I said, and I knelt down all of a sudden, "Ask Qin Lang to save my brother!"

Qin Yuefeng didn't move, didn't even say anything to get me up, I knelt on the ground, lowered my head and begged Qin Yuefeng, "Ask Qin Lang to save my brother for the sake of the past." ”

What followed was a suffocating silence, and I waited quietly for Qin Yuefeng's response, and after a long time, he spoke, "Get up." ”

I didn't move, I knew that no one could help me except Qin Yuefeng at the moment, seeing that I didn't move, Qin Yuefeng sighed and said in a deep voice: "Sima Yang has already led people to the capital overnight." ”

Hearing Qin Yuefeng's words, my tears finally burst out of my eyes, and then I couldn't cry anymore.

Qin Yuefeng finally stepped forward and wanted to help me up, but the more I cried, the worse I cried, hugging Qin Yuefeng's thighs with snot and tears flowing all over my face, Qin Yuefeng had no choice but to look at me and cry enough.

After crying enough, Qin Yuefeng asked me to sit down in the seat and said, "Eat, I'll give you a gift after eating." ”

I was a little dazed, I really didn't know what kind of gift Qin Yuefeng could give me in this barracks, not to mention any surprises, just don't be frightened.

After eating, I poured Qin Yuefeng a cup of tea, watched him take it up and drank it, and couldn't help asking, "Qin Lang, why did the prince arrest my brother? After all, he is just a scholar." ”

"It's a scholar, but it's not an ordinary scholar. ”

“？”

"Not to mention your brother, do you think you are an ordinary girl?"

"Of course," I blurted out, thinking for a moment, "well, no." ”

Qin Yuefeng nodded, "At that time in the cottage, you let Mingzhe defect to me, so I let him stay in the capital with Xingque, on the one hand, he took care of Mingzhe's body, it is better to raise it in the capital, on the other hand, Mingzhe is a rare good strategist, and he helped Xingque plan in the capital, and he did fight for the best situation for us to the greatest extent." ”

"You mean the Weapons Division?" I thought about what I heard about the Weapons Division today.

Qin Yuefeng nodded: "Lin Dongyang, the master of the Weapons Division, has a strange personality and is difficult to make friends, and the technology of making weapons is only mastered by Lin Dongyang, and the people under him are even more loyal, so even the Holy Lord has to give him three points of thin noodles." What's more, Lin Dongyang only produces a certain number of weapons every year, and refuses to produce more. ”

I was really taken aback when I heard this, and said, "This master is too willful, doing things at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but he has a style of not taking anyone in his eyes, so that the Holy One can tolerate him?"

"There is still a way, this iron-smelting room originally belonged to the Weapons Division, but the prince wanted to swallow this piece of fat but had no way to take Lin Dongyang, so he made a proposal to the Holy Superior to divide the iron-making room from the Weapons Division, so as to hold Lin Dongyang hostage, and the Holy Lord felt justified and agreed. Qin Yuefeng said: "Since the ironmaking room was separated from the Ordnance Division, although it nominally belongs to the imperial court, in fact, the officials in charge are all the prince's people, and there are countless filthy collusions in it, and the quality of the iron ore supplied to the Ordnance Department has also declined year by year. ”

, I said in my heart that Rong Que is not a brain problem, the quality of iron ore is not good, it will seriously affect the quality of the weapons made by the Ordnance Division, and then it will directly affect the combat effectiveness of all armies, the prince is the prince in the end, if he does not die, he will be the one who inherits the throne when the saint ascends to heaven, this kind of behavior completely disregarding long-term development for the sake of immediate interests is really burying himself for his future rule.

"What do you want?" Qin Yuefeng saw me rolling his eyes and puffing out angrily.

"It's nothing," I pointed to my brain and shrugged, "I just don't think the prince's brain is very good." ”

Qin Yuefeng laughed out loud when he heard this, nodded and said, "Indeed, although Rong Que is the crown prince, he is not as far-sighted as a little girl like you. ”

I said in my heart that I was a smart girl, okay?

"In the past, although Lin Dongyang was domineering, the quality of the weapons was indeed first-class, and several new weapons were designed every year, but since Rong Que controlled the iron-making room, a series of things he did completely angered Lin Dongyang, and since then, the weapons produced by the weapons department have also become coping, and there is no quality at all, as for the new weapons, there has never been a case. Qin Yuefeng sighed and said: "If it is a peaceful time, it will be enough, it just so happens that the Youta clan has invaded many times, this battle, the problem of weapons has been exposed at once, and the saint has the intention to rectify the iron-making room, but it is not easy, so he ordered me to use military merits to ask for the iron-making room, in fact, I want to take back the control of the iron-making room through me." ”

I probably understand the process of the matter, listening to Qin Yuefeng's meaning, it has not been a day or two for Rong Que to control the iron-making room, I am afraid that the officials inside have already been corrupted, if it is strictly investigated, I am afraid that dozens or even hundreds of officials will be involved, and in the case that the border is already very unstable, such a big movement in the imperial court will definitely not be conducive to internal stability.

In addition, if Rong Que is the prince personally determined by the saint, if it is found out that the corruption of the iron-making room is inseparable from the prince, then it is estimated that he will not be able to abolish this prince by then, but who will be the prince if Rong Que is abolished? It is bound to be another bloody storm.

From this point of view, it was indeed a feasible way for the saint to take back the control of the iron-smelting room step by step through Qin Yuefeng, who had always been loyal, who knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, and Qin Yuefeng really didn't want to hand over the control of this iron-making room when he got it.

Thinking of this, I smiled: "I'm afraid that even if the saint calculates everything, I didn't calculate that you, an honest general, would have the courage not to give him back this control." ”

Qin Yuefeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm forced by the situation. Who let Donrick that wolf cub snatch someone and grab me. ”

I listened, and swallowed my spit, which was so loud that even I was startled.

"But what does all this have to do with my brother?" I quickly shifted the subject away from Donrick.

"The Holy Lord has a lot of concerns about rectifying the iron-making room, but I don't, from the day I decided to keep the iron-making room for myself, I have begun to gradually infiltrate my own people into the iron-making room, and I intend to make friends with Lin Dongyang. Qin Yuefeng continued: "But he is very strange, although I have intended to make friends many times, but it was not successful, until Mingzhe came to the capital. ”

"How did my brother do that?" I wondered.

"I don't know exactly what he did, but after Mingzhe visited Lin Dongyang a few times, Lin Dongyang agreed to meet with me," Qin Yuefeng said: "After meeting, everything will be easy to say, I already have the heart to revitalize the iron-making room and the weapons department, which is very in line with Lin Dongyang's mind, so after coming and going, the matter is done." ”

After listening to Qin Yuefeng, I probably knew the ins and outs of the matter, and I also understood why Rong Que desperately wanted to capture Mingzhe, Mingzhe successfully made Lin Dongyang stand in Qin Yuefeng's camp, and the iron-making room was also under Qin Yuefeng's control.

Thinking of this, I felt a little more uneasy in my heart, and walked around the big tent anxiously.

Qin Yuefeng grabbed my wrist and dragged me into his arms, I fell on his lap, my hands were held in front of his chest, the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I cried again as soon as I opened my mouth: "It will take more than ten days from here to the capital at the earliest, not to mention that the army is moving forward, it will only be slower, you don't know how terrible the prince is to use the punishment, I can't stand it with thick skin and meat, brother he ......"

"Xiuxiu," Qin Yuefeng cupped my face and comforted, "Don't think about it, Xingque regards Mingzhe as a treasure, and he will definitely not let Mingzhe have anything to do." Besides, Rong Que is using Mingzhe as a bargaining chip, and he will not hurt him easily. ”

"But ......"

"I have always refused to tell you because I don't want you to worry about this," Qin Yuefeng said softly: "I have sent a rapid march army to rush back to support, with the current strength of the Qin family's army, there will be no accidents." ”

I raised my eyes and stared at Qin Yuefeng's eyes when I heard this, and said in a low voice: "If I hadn't found out that I had overheard this matter there, would I dare to ask the general if he would have sent troops back?"

When I eavesdropped, I could see it very clearly, and the hesitation on Qin Yuefeng's face was so clear. At that time, how I hoped that Qin Yuefeng would immediately send troops back to save Mingzhe, but he didn't.

"Mingzhe is my advisor, and of course I will save him. Qin Yuefeng said in a deep voice: "He is my hero." ”

"I know that the general will save him, not only the general, but also the star sparrow, and all the troops in the capital will save him," I said, "but I am asking, will the general send troops back from the border to support?" or ......?"

I didn't finish speaking, I knew very well that if I gave up Mingzhe, the situation in the capital would become very clear.

As long as Mingzhe is abandoned, with the power that Qin Yuefeng and Xingque already have in the capital, even if they can't overthrow the regime all at once, they are bound to take the biggest initiative.

But if you choose to rescue Mingzhe, then you must Qin Yuefeng send reinforcements, this time is delayed, and when General Jia Ying and General Suda return to the capital, the situation will become very stale, and at the same time, the border side that lacks troops will be very passive if it is attacked by Tang Rick at this time.

"Xiuxiu, I need to think about a lot," Qin Yuefeng said in a deep voice, "It's not that simple. ”

The price of choosing to rescue Mingzhe is very high, I know, I also see Qin Yuefeng's inner torment, I believe that he really wants to save Mingzhe, and I also understand that he is different from before, he needs to think about a lot, many people's lives are pressed on his choice, he must take care of the overall situation.

I know all of this, but I just selfishly want him to save Mingzhe unconditionally, and I resent his hesitation.

"I'm sorry," I tried to keep my sanity, "I know I'm selfish. ”

After all, Qin Yuefeng finally chose to save Mingzhe, and I know that I should be grateful.

Qin Yuefeng didn't speak, just pinched my face silently.

"Don't worry," I held Qin Yuefeng's hand and said firmly, "In a short period of time, Don Rick will not come over to look for trouble." ”
