"According to Director Xiao, do you suspect that someone has leaked information?"

Wu Qingshi stood aside, bent over and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yue closed her head and replied: "For now, this matter is very likely. ”

I have to say that Na Boyan is indeed powerful, by secretly reducing the strength of Lingtai, he also mobilized his men and horses to Pengyang City, and then took advantage of the lack of strength of the Chifeng Army to launch an attack, if it wasn't for Xiao Yue's sudden appearance, I was afraid that Anding would be captured by Boyan.

At that time, he can not only use this to cut off the connection between the Chifeng Army and Qingyang Mansion, but also lead his troops south to cooperate with the main Mongolian force after defeating Qingyang Mansion, and further compress the space for the Chifeng Army to maneuver.

If this strategy is completed by Boyan, then the Mongols can continue to entangle with the Red Phoenix Army, and may even regain the lost territory.

Xiao Yue thought about this, and was even more disgusted with the person who secretly leaked information.

Wu Qingshi looked annoyed, opened his mouth and scolded: "Alas. That guy is really hateful, knowing that we are about to complete the goal of encircling each other, who expected that because of that guy's trick, the whole situation has become complicated again. What if that guy comes out like this again while we move on to the next step?"

"Don't worry, since I'm here, I'm sure I'll find out this person and comfort the soldiers who died in battle. Xiao Yue swore an oath.

She had never hated someone more than she did now.

If it weren't for that man, they would have launched a general attack and completely annihilated the Mongols now, instead of continuing to work here and do some useless work.

Wu Qingshi saw Xiao Yue's sinister face, although it was still beautiful, but he was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

Xiao Yue was a little strange, glanced at Wu Qingshi, and asked, "I'm talking about a spy, why are you so scared?"

"This, it's really because Master Xiao is too powerful, so I'm a little scared. Peeking at the corpse in the distance, Wu Qingshi felt a twitch in his heart, and he had destroyed so many people in just an instant, which was really beyond his imagination.

Xiao Yue chuckled lightly and replied, "As long as you keep your integrity, how can I harm you?" Even so, her scrutinizing gaze still stared at the other party, as if she wanted to collect everything in her heart and leave nothing behind.

"What Director Xiao said is that his subordinates should respect themselves. Wu Qingshi continued, but he was still afraid.

Xiao Yuezhen shook her head lightly and waved her hand to let Wu Qingshi go down and let him clean the place.

The corpses lay on the ground, blood flowed everywhere, and the cracks in the stone slabs were filled, and although it was already winter, if these corpses were not disposed of, it would eventually make people feel disgusting, and it was even possible to breed insects and mosquitoes, leading to the creation of a plague.

After Wu Qingshi retired, he also began to arrange his subordinates to deal with this matter.

Xiao Yue was not interested in staying here, nor did she tell Wu Qingshi, so she left Anding directly, but went all the way north to Qingyang Mansion.

That Qingyang Mansion is about 300 miles away from here, and ordinary people have to walk for a week, but for Xiao Yue alone, it is just an hour to be able to arrive.

Stepping into the city, she looked at the lively crowd on the street, and then she felt much more relaxed.

"Whew, it's much easier to be here, at least without the smell of blood. Xiao Yue muttered a sentence and walked through the crowd.

Xiao Yue still remembers the scene when she was a child, at that time, whenever her father finished dealing with official business, he would take her and her sister to walk in this crowd together, and the people she met on the road would also cast respectful glances, if she met those who set up stalls and sold snacks, she would also directly send one or two small ornaments and snacks to her, and Xiao Yue would feel very happy at this time.

So Xiao Yue will do this whenever she has her spare time.

Because only in this way will she feel some warmth in her heart, because it will make her feel that her father is still with her.

——————

"I didn't expect that at this time, there are still people planning to gather to fight?"

Looking at the report in his hand, Chen Ziang felt annoyed.

Since dealing with the rebellion of Jin Wuji, Chen Ziang has been deployed to Qingyang City to investigate the intelligence of the surrounding cottage bandits full-time, so as to provide sufficient intelligence sources for the Chifeng Army to suppress the local rebels.

The clerk said helplessly: "No way." Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. There are so many bandits, how is it possible for you to let them all stop at this time?"

"That's right. Chen Ziang thought about it for a while, and felt a little pain in his brain.

This place is not as good as Chang'an, because the mountains are undulating and the terrain is steep, so there are few cities as huge as Chang'an City, even Qingyang City is more than 100,000 at most, and most of the people in the entire area are cottages and villages.

Most of these cottages and villages exist in the mountains, with little communication with the outside world, and the interior is completely stagnant, controlled by the local gentry and bureaucracy.

And because of the previous behavior of the Red Phoenix Army, these gentry have always been hostile to the Red Phoenix Army, and they will start a rebellion if they are not careful, and this is the fifth time this month.

"I see. You should first send this letter to General Liu Bingkun Liu. After all, I am only responsible for intelligence work, and if I want to eradicate it, I need General Liu's help. Chen Ziang was a little discouraged.

That Liu Bingkun was the Zhizhou who was arranged by Xiao Feng to be in charge of this place when he left.

In addition to the 3,000 Red Phoenix Army under his command, there are still 5,000 new annexed troops, and it is naturally impossible to resist the Mongols with this force, but if it is to suppress the bandits in the territory, it is more than enough.

After receiving the news from Chen Ziang, Liu Bingkun also came here immediately.

"Are you sure it's true?" Liu Bingkun asked.

Chen Ziang was a little puzzled and said, "That's right." This is news from the spies I have arranged, do you suspect that it is wrong?"

"It's not wrong. It's just that don't you think there are too many rebellions?" Liu Bingkun looked bitter, and noticed the strange look from Chen Ziang, so he had to reply: "You also know." Although the news you sent is indeed true, each rebellion is limited to a dozen people, and at most there are only a hundred or so people, is it possible to mobilize troops for such a small matter?"

Chen Ziang suddenly became angry and retorted: "Then let us sit idly by and let them harm the people?"

"Not this one. ”

Liu Bingkun felt bad, and hurriedly explained: "It's just that you know that in order to suppress these people, I sent half of the troops in the city, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid that I will have to mobilize my own army." And you also know that the Mongols are at war with our army, and what will we do if they send an army to attack?"

Intersect with Chen Ziang has been immersed in the work in front of him, Liu Bingkun has always paid attention to the movements of the Chifeng Army, and he also has some understanding of Na Boyan's capture of Pengyang.

After Chen Ziang heard this, he also felt that he was a little unreasonable.

He smiled bitterly: "No matter what, since the lord has asked the two of us to ensure that this place is safe and sound, then we must do our best, at least not to make this place unstable." After all, the lord had promised the people in the city at the beginning, and he gave everyone a peaceful world. ”

"Well, it looks like we'll have to deal with it first. Liu Bingkun was a little absent-minded, he thought secretly in his heart.

"I just hope that the lord can be safe and sound, and everything can go according to plan!"

It was getting late, and the two of them were leaving.

Chen Ziang felt sleepy, and also stood up straight, ready to return to the room to rest.

Just waited for him to push open the door, and suddenly saw a person standing in the room, stared at it, and was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down on one knee and complained: "It turned out that Director Xiao was here, and his subordinates didn't greet him, so it's really damn." ”

"This time I came here, it's a secret. You don't need to be so restrained, get up and speak. Xiao Feng waved his hand and motioned for Chen Ziang to stand up.

Chen Ziang didn't dare to refuse, although he stood up, he felt that his body was a little stiff, his two hands hung down on his waist, and he looked sincerely afraid: "Since Director Xiao has orders, his subordinates don't dare to disobey." It's just Master Xiao, I don't know why you came here late at night?"

"Nothing. It's just that I'm curious, what have you found here?" Xiao Yue said with a smile.

Chen Ziang felt a little ashamed: "It's all trivial, if you say it, I'm afraid it will make Master Xiao feel funny." "Since the annihilation of Jin Wuji, although there have been repeated rebellions near Qingyang Mansion, those are limited to small families and are not considered to be on the table.

"What about the little things?" Xiao Yue didn't feel bored, just as a pastime.

Chen Ziang had no choice but to explain the things one by one, and fortunately, thanks to his amazing memory, he remembered every case clearly and without omission.

After listening, Xiao Yue fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did she complain, "You mean, in the last month, there have been more and more rebellions?"

After the annihilation of Jin Wujian, the surroundings of Qingyang Mansion were quiet for a while, after all, Jin Wuqian was a bandit who was rampant here, and after being defeated by the Chifeng Army by strong means, the rest of the people were afraid, so they naturally did not dare to take the lead. But as time goes by, those people can't bear it, especially in the recent period, and the number is increasing.

Chen Ziang lowered his head, with a tired face: "That's right." Just today, an incident happened, and General Liu began to deal with it. ”

Although he worked hard and conscientiously, after all, he had limited energy, and he was tossed down like this, but he didn't sleep well for several days.

Xiao Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she asked again: "Then do you know who is behind them?" After all, there are people who do the business of killing people, and no one does the business of losing money. These people suddenly appeared, I'm afraid that behind them, someone should be plotting. ”

Xiao Yue's words immediately made Chen Ziang wake up.

"Yes. The reason why they did this should have been instructed by someone, but what was the purpose of that person?"

"Now that you have a direction, let's start investigating this matter first. Xiao Yue chuckled, but her figure disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a sentence: "It's just that you have to remember that you must not tell others about today's events." Got it?"

Come without a trace, go without a trace.

Chen Ziang looked at the stool in the distance in a daze, if it weren't for the sword mark left on it, he still thought that what had happened before was just a dream.

"It seems that this time, it's busy again!"

With emotion in his heart, Chen Ziang also made up his mind and prepared to go to the prison tomorrow to interrogate the captured rebels and see if there was any news in their mouths.
