Chapter 240: Suspicion
In the early dynasty, the sound of muttering above the court of Bai Guo was endless, until Bai Boxian sat on the court.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what's going on?" Bai Boxian's voice was tired, and the news of Bai Du's naturally reached his ears.
"Enlighten the monarch, the minister has something to play. "A minister came out of the crowd, it was Situ Qiren.
"Speak. "Situ Qiren is in charge of civil household registration, and also oversees the service of the subjects of the White Kingdom in the matter of labor and military service, and this incident took place in the territory under his jurisdiction, and it should be up to him.
"Qiqi Monarch, there has been a burst of remarks in the near Bai Capital that are detrimental to my Bai Guo's society, and many people have been arrested, dare to ask the monarch how to deal with these people?" Qi Ren looked at Bai Boxian, and Bai Boxian had already heard the rumors.
It's just that there are few people talking about it in the first few times, and this Bai Du has always commented on Bai Yingwu's style, so he didn't care too much.
It's just that I didn't expect that Bai Yingwu's remarks about leading Chen Guobing into the white capital became more and more outrageous, and the influence became more and more widespread. When Qi Ren intervened in this matter, he could no longer block the mouths of the people.
The silence of the whole death, Bai Boxian's face sank like water, and those ministers did not say a word.
Everyone knows the current situation of Bai Guo at this time, Bai Yingwu has a heavy army in his hands, and he is the pillar of the empire to put it mildly, as long as he wants to, he can replace Bai Boxian!
In the past, there was still the right army to hinder it, but now the right army is nothing more than a plate of scattered sand.
Now that it is the time when Chen Guo is using troops against Bai Guo, it is not necessarily empty to raise such remarks......
Everyone is waiting for Bai Boxian to make a statement, once those remarks are true, the consequences are unimaginable.
"General Bai is the son of my Bai Clan's temple, and he is the general who has protected my Bai country for more than ten years. Now that General Bai is fighting bravely to kill the enemy on the front line, how can we speculate on him because of some rumors?" Although Bai Boxian also maintained a skeptical attitude towards this matter, he still had to believe in Bai Yingwu above this court, if the court was in chaos, then everything would be over!
"Qi Ren, you alone lead the Bai Du guards to arrest those who maliciously slander General Bai, don't let any of them go!"
"No. Qi Ren retired from the ranks, how many people in Bai Du were talking about this matter, he knew better than Bai Boxian, it stands to reason that the news ahead should not have spread so widely in Bai Du, as if someone was adding fuel to the fire.
However, the people Qi Ren caught were all innocent residents of Baidu for three generations, and no matter how he tortured them, those people couldn't tell where they heard it.
The entire Bai Capital is now in a public opinion turmoil, and everyone is panicking.
But Bai Boxian has already ordered, he is a courtier, and he must obey orders. Besides, this matter is full of suspicions, if you believe these messages like this, wouldn't it be in the hands of Chen Guo?
The early dynasty dispersed, and Bai Boxian left Sima Jiangqian: "How did Lone let you find out?"
Jiang Qian bowed and said: "Four years ago, General Bai did meet with Xu Meng, the general of Chen Guo, in front of the battle, and all the soldiers can testify. ”
“
What did they talk about?" Bai Boxian's tense strings in his heart suddenly broke, he didn't believe Bai Yingwu in the first place, so his suspicion was even more serious.
"This ...... The subordinates didn't know that Bai Yingwu did not disclose the content of the meeting to his subordinates when he came back, and it is estimated that he only told his son Bai Zimo. Jiang Qian looked up at Bai Boxian, this was his disadvantage.
"Hmph. Bai Boxian snorted coldly, and privately allied with the enemy generals before the battle, he really has a good brother!
"The things I asked you to check had better rot in your stomach, don't let me hear any rumors, you know the consequences. "No matter what Bai Yingwu talked about with Chen Meng, since he didn't let others know that there must be ghosts in it!
It's just that Bai Yingwu is in charge of half of the soldiers and horses of the White Country, and Bai Boxian has nothing to do with him. For today's plan, it is to transfer Ah Ning back, lest Bai Yingwu really defect.
"What did you say?" Bai Yingwu glared at the tiger, and the quartermaster lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
"Tell the general, Bai Du said that there are some difficulties, and this month's grain and grass cannot be supplied in sufficient quantities. "The quartermaster is also helpless, the ministers of Baidu have always been strict with the left army, and they will not give half a cent more for all materials.
This time, we didn't get enough food and baggage, and once the war started, there would be a shortage of enough materials, and even if Bai Du was willing to send them here, it might not be too late.
It's okay to say that the left army has its own tuntian, and even if Bai doesn't send grain here, it will be enough to eat for more than three months.
However, the bows and arrows urgently needed to defend the city and the Tongyou Cold City did not have the conditions to be manufactured, especially the bows and arrows, which were supplies that could only be supplied by the strength of the whole country.
This time, however, the number of bows and arrows was extremely small. Once the wars are frequent, they will soon be poured out.
"Why is this so? Didn't you tell those ministers that you were going to fight? Chen Meng's army is already under the cold city, and there are no bows and arrows, what can we do to stop them from attacking the city?" Bai Yingwu walked around the hall, the reason why the defensive battle was easy to fight was because he could condescendingly raise the bow and arrow.
Even if it is right, it can take the lead, and now there are no bows and arrows, is it difficult for the Chen ** team to climb to the top of the city and fight with them?
You must know that the left army is now short of manpower, and it is impossible to fight hard.
"I said it, but it didn't work. Those ministers said that the banditry was serious, and it was difficult to collect supplies in the White Country...... "The quartermaster's voice became quieter, and he could feel the temperature in the hall getting colder and lower.
"Bandits, bandits!" Bai Yingwu couldn't hear it, this Bai Boxian was still holding on to his pigtails.
If the cold city is lost, everything will be over! Even if you want to take care of him, you have to divide the time.
"General, there is another word, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. The quartermaster said cautiously, he not only looked at a lot of cold eyes in Baidu, but also heard some words that should not be heard.
Say. Bai Yingwu sighed secretly, his brother regarded him like a tiger and wolf, and he had not changed for so many years.
Immediately, the quartermaster informed Bai Yingwu of the remarks he had heard in Baidu. will also say the decision of the court, the court for this
matter, still on Bai Yingwu's side.
Bai Yingwu snorted coldly, seemed to believe him, and turned his head to withhold the supplies of the left army. His brother's scheming skills are really getting more and more exquisite.
Immediately, he became worried, if Bai Boxian did not send the right army because of this, how could he defend the country with the left army alone?
"You go to Baidu again, I will repair a book, and you will help me present it to the monarch. "Bai Yingwu ordered the quartermaster, the monarch and the ministers did not trust each other, and this battle would be lost if it was not fought.
"Also, don't tell anyone about those remarks in the white capital, I'll handle this matter myself. Bai Yingwu didn't expect that he would have such an incident just by meeting Chen Meng.
If he has a heart of disobedience, how can he, Bai Boxian, sit on this position?
The quartermaster left with Bai Yingwu's handwritten letter and went to the changing place.
In a ravine, a man sat cross-legged on top of a boulder, a sword resting flat on her lap.
The empty valley is leisurely, the mist is faint, and it is the time when everything is silent and will not be born.
Wisps of white qi followed Ah Ning's breath into her abdomen, and then sank into the dantian. In the past three years, she has never slackened off in every practice.
She originally wanted to learn Qi refining from her father, but Xu Dingbang said that she was light and thin, and such qualifications could not be refined.
Life is the soul, and she can't be like her father, so she can only retreat to the second best thing and learn the swordsmanship of killing the enemy on the battlefield.
But three years ago, she discovered something. Although she couldn't refine qi, she used the method of refining qi to feel that there seemed to be something else in this heaven and earth.
It was an energy that was not exactly the same as "qi" but was similar, and her father told her that qi was stronger than the soul, and that qi moved at will, and that power was born from the heart!
But this kind of energy is different, it resonates with heaven and earth between one breath and one breath, and stays in the body after winding through the entire meridians.
This power is attached to it, and every move has great power, and it is not a problem to attach it to the sword to open up mountains and crack stones!
But after three years, Ah Ning's internal strength has been making slow progress despite his cultivation. Not all meridians can carry internal forces, and if they are not very good, there is a possibility that the meridians will be disordered.
When his father was alive, he also carefully investigated the internal strength she cultivated, and it seemed that she was born on her own after practicing her physical skills to the extreme.
It's just that the Qi Refiner has a heritage, and Xu Dingbang's strength comes from Qi, although his physical skills are complete, but he has not given birth to this kind of internal force, because even his physical skills are from the feedback of Qi refining.
And Ah Ning is different, she can't refine qi. Under hard work, the internal force is self-generated. The so-called ghost army is mostly soldiers like her who give birth to internal strength.
Although these soldiers were not much stronger than the other soldiers in strength, they far surpassed them in endurance.
Ah Ning is not the first nor the only one to give birth to internal strength, Xu Dingbang has long paid attention to this group of people, and gathered them together and trained them into a special army that can run long distances.
That's why they are called the Ghost Army, and they can do many things that seem impossible with this internal force.
In addition to Xu Ding
Bang's use of surprise soldiers shrouded this army in a veil of mystery.
It's just that even the soldiers themselves can't know about the birth of internal force, and Xu Dingbang only accidentally checked the wounded and found that there was a special aura in the person's body, like the qi of a qi refiner but it was not pure.
It cannot be used actively, and can only be used passively to recover physical strength.
I don't know if other people have noticed these slightly special soldiers, Xu Dingbang has been looking for soldiers with internal strength in his right army.
It's just that he didn't expect that her daughter also gave birth to internal strength, and Ah Ning was stronger than those soldiers because her father had taught her the method of refining qi.
The matter of inheritance is very important, and Xu Dingbang didn't think about letting those ghost armies who gave birth to internal strength cultivate, but just let them develop freely, and when he found one, he incorporated them into the ghost army.
But Ah Ning used the method of refining qi to find a way to control this internal force!
