Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 639 Speculation
"Commander Lu, Commander Lu, please wait a moment. The Military Hall does not allow people to enter without permission."

"Where's Zhan Xian'an?! I want to see that bastard!"

"Hey, please don't make things difficult for me. Commander Zhan has suddenly launched a battle, there must be a reason for that. Please wait a moment."

"You talk like a eunuch, get out of here! Zhan Xian'an, more than a dozen of my men died in obscure circumstances, get out here and give me an explanation!"

"."

When Si Zijing followed Huang Shiwei to the Military Hall, a loud noise came from the half-open courtyard door.

Through the gap, one can see that there are already more than a dozen people in military uniforms gathered in the yard.

He basically recognized all the people inside. Except for the civil servants blocking the entrance of the hall, the rest of the people in military uniforms were senior generals in Zhenxi Prefecture.

The commander Lu who dared to scold Zhan Xian'an was the commander of the Xuanting Army, the second town of Zhenxi Prefecture, Lu Bozou.

Five divisions make up one battalion, two battalions make up an army, and a town is composed of two to five armies depending on its affiliated forces. The second town of Zhenxi Prefecture is neither too large nor too small, consisting of three armies, among which the Xuanting Army is the elite and is almost fully staffed.

With this information flashing through his mind, Si Zijing frowned and looked at Huang Shiwei to inquire about the situation in the hospital.

"This is what the young master meant. The princess does not know who in Zhenxi Prefecture is loyal to her and who has defected to the sect. She can only take this opportunity to see the reactions of the generals below and make a rough judgment."

Huang Shiwei explained in a low voice, and then sighed, "The situation here is even worse than you imagined. Not only has Zhenxi Prefecture been infiltrated by the sect like a sieve, but even the director of the Black Scale Guard in Xizezhou has been turned against us."

Hearing this, Si Zijing's eyes twitched unconsciously:

"Mu Qing?"

"Yes, the young master confirmed it himself."

"Oh, I was thinking of going to see the Master and reminiscing about the past."

"It doesn't matter. Young Master has no intention of getting rid of him for the time being."

"."Si Zijing rolled his eyes.

There is really no need to get involved in the cause and effect of a dying person.

However, based on the information Huang Shiwei provided him, he felt that they could now start preparing to escape.

Since the sect has made a huge bet here, they can just evacuate immediately. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has passed the difficult period when it had to risk a lot to survive, there is no need to continue taking risks here.

But unfortunately, since the Third Young Master is here, the decision-making power on this matter is not his.

With a sigh in his heart, Si Zijing whispered:

"If we go in right now, it might affect your plan. Should we wait outside for a while?"

Huang Shiwei glanced at Si Zijing and said:
"Who told you that the Military Hall only has a main entrance?"

"."

"."

Junshu Hall is a three-courtyard building. Its interior decoration does not resemble that of a military camp, but rather that of a study of elegant scholars.

The pavilions and terraces are elegantly located.

Entering from the back door, Si Zijing and Huang Shiwei soon arrived at a three-story building with flying eaves and pointed corners.

The door was ajar and not closed, and the people inside seemed to have known of their arrival.

Looking at the half-open wooden door, Si Zijing frowned unconsciously.

The smell of incense was very strong inside. Before he even entered the room, a jasmine-like aroma went straight into his nostrils. However, underneath the fragrance, he could also smell a faint smell of blood.

There must be someone dead inside.

As the young master's voice of agreement was heard, as soon as he entered, Si Zijing confirmed his previous speculation.

A screen embroidered with a gorgeous picture of mountains and rivers divided the room into two parts, and a corpse was lying quietly beside the foot of the screen.

It looked like it was crushed to death from top to bottom by some huge force, and the flesh and bones were mixed together and could not be identified. However, considering what Huang Shiwei had told him on the way, the identity of this pile of meat was obvious.

The Third Young Master actually got rid of Zhan Xian'an, the top military and political leader of Zhenxi City, without saying a word.

Emotions surged in my heart, but I didn't know how to react.

Before coming here, Si Zijing actually had the intention of persuading the Third Young Master to leave, but once this corpse appeared, it meant that the Third Young Master was already prepared to go down this path to the end.

Si Zijing suppressed his thoughts, and together with Huang Shiwei beside him, he bowed his head to the person inside through the screen:
"Third Young Master."

Behind the screen, a smiling voice came out quietly:
"No need to be polite. Talking across the screen is the tone that Zhan Xian'an likes. He is dead now. You can just come in."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shiwei and Si Zijing walked around the screen and saw what was going on inside.

There were two people in the hall.

They were both located behind the design table, one man and one woman, one standing and one sitting, with a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary.

After a quick glance, Si Zijing recognized the identities of the two.

The woman should be the princess of Zhenxi Prefecture, and the man with a strange face should be the Third Young Master in disguise.

After a moment of silence, before Si Zijing could speak, he heard the man standing behind the heroic woman speak slowly:
"Mr. Huang, please follow Jun Wu to the front yard and send those generals to prepare for battle. Jun Wu will take care of the details and you only need to show your skills according to the situation."

Huang Shiwei didn't ask for details when he heard this, but just bowed:
"Yes."

Xu Yuanze gently patted Li Junwu's shoulder and whispered:
"I have analyzed everything I need to analyze. You can use your own judgment to identify which of the generals are loyal to your family. There is no time to lose. Go now."

Hearing this, Li Junwu curled his lips slightly, did not respond, and simply stood up and led Huang Shiwei out of the building.

After watching the two of them leave, Si Zijing's voice suddenly rang out in the silent room:

"Third Young Master, are you planning to secretly support the princess to take over the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuan looked back at Si Zijing for a moment, chuckled and said:

"I have never concealed the fact that I helped her get to the top. How can you say that Mr. Si secretly supported her?"

Si Zijing lowered his head, knowing that the young master had made up his mind, and sighed in his heart:
".Si was not thoughtful enough."

Xu Yuan sat down on Li Junwu's seat and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Si, I told you not to be so polite. You should have seen the situation in the front yard when you came. Do you think Lu Bozou can be trusted?"

Si Zijing's eyes flickered for a moment, but he did not give a direct answer:

"Although the old man, the Marquis of Zhenxi, rose to prominence in the military, he has come this far, so his ability to control his subordinates must be quite strong."

Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, squinting his eyes:

"It's the same whether you said it or not."

Si Zijing showed a trace of embarrassment, but these few words also allowed him to roughly outline the character of the Third Young Master in his mind, and then he began to analyze:

"Although Lu Bozou seems to have a rift with Zhan Xian'an, if he is really a direct descendant of the Marquis of Zhenxi, he would not express it in this way, or at least he would not be so obviously against it."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes lit up with interest:
"That makes sense. Such an obvious defensive attitude will inevitably make his subordinates feel disheartened. Are you saying that the generals who protect Zhan Xian'an are the ones who are loyal to the Marquis of Zhenxi?"

Si Zijing lowered his eyes and bowed:

"The information is unclear, so I dare not make any rash conclusions. I hope you will forgive me."

Xu Yuan tapped the table, looking at the other party's attitude of not wanting to be involved in the cause and effect, and did not force him, but said:
"Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. I just called you here to ask you something."

Si Zijing raised his eyes and took a look at Xu Yuan's expression, and whispered:

"Please ask, sir. I will tell you everything I know."

Xu Yuan was silent for a long time before he asked slowly:
"I heard that you split your forces into two groups to hunt down Qin Weishu, and the other group seemed to have encountered the master of Jiantian Pavilion. Xu Changge should still be alive, right?"
