"I even suspect that they have a brain disease. We should ask Zhiyi to open their skulls and take a closer look."

My brother is so awesome, he can see through the little bastard’s true nature at a glance!

Xie Yuheng tapped the pages of the book lightly with his knuckles and thought for a moment, "I always feel like something is wrong."

Xie Mingcheng's eyes widened immediately and he stole a glance at the little prince outside.

He stood up, leaned close to Xie Yuheng's ear, and lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be, this is a trap?"

"They deliberately let me lead the troops, then dug a big pit, buried me, and then implicated the Xie family!"

Xie Yuheng looked at her second brother in confusion. She really didn't understand what was going on in her second brother's train of thought.

With her disguised as a man, is there any need to go around in so many roundabout ways?

He was directly charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor, and all nine clans were delighted!

Besides, she had made arrangements in advance and also had the ability to counterattack with hot weapons, so it was impossible to defeat her. The one who could defeat her would be someone else.

Xie Yuheng was helpless and explained: "With the Wusun coalition army in front, the Eastern Xiongnu and Fusang mobilized troops together with them. I thought they should be in the same group."

"After the Wusun coalition was defeated, there were rebels again."

"It is reasonable for Fuso to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. After all, there is a saying that goes, 'attack while you are ill'."

She leaned over, took the teacup, quenched her thirst, and continued, "But now that the Wusun and the civil strife have been quenched, only the Eastern Xiongnu are left, and they are not a force to be reckoned with."

"Although Fuso will not withdraw its troops immediately, it should not continue to fight and charge forward headlong."

After listening to this, Xie Mingcheng nodded in approval and then fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Xie Yuheng did not say anything to disturb him, but just picked up the book silently and continued reading.

After a long while, Xie Mingcheng clapped his hands suddenly, "The Japanese poisoned Yangzhou before, and you arrested two people, Yuheng."

"What did the court announcement say at the time..." He paused and immediately continued.

"Isn't it that the shogunate is in turmoil and they need to rely on foreign wars to divert people's attention?"

“Could this be because the civil unrest has intensified and they are eager to produce results?”

Xie Yuheng searched in her mind and found the corresponding memory. She said, "It's possible."

"We'll have to catch him alive and interrogate him to find out the details."

Speaking of this, Xie Mingcheng sighed heavily, "It's hard to catch him alive!"

"Once the Fuso gourds were surrounded and failed in their attempts to break out, they immediately committed seppuku."

“When I first saw it, I was shocked.”

"I thought they were going to go all out, and kill one to get their money back, and kill two to make a killing."

Xie Yuheng suppressed his laughter, "Then Second Brother really overestimated them."

Seeing the sister laughing, someone also smiled foolishly.

Just as he laughed, his eyes turned red and Xie Mingcheng lowered his head.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have studied hard and passed the imperial examination when I was young."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be with you guys for so long."

Xie Yuheng looked at his furry head and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

“Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses.”

"Besides, without the soldiers' hard work in defending the country, how could the people of Daliang live a stable life?"

"If Second Brother is really tired, Master can also arrange a job nearby. Yu Heng's connections are Second Brother's connections."

Feeling the warmth coming from the top of his head, Xie Mingcheng's face turned red.

Fortunately, I'm outside all year round and have a tan, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

He cleared his throat, straightened his back embarrassedly, and moved his head away from Xie Yuheng's hand.

"I, I'm just being casual, just saying it casually, don't take it seriously!"

"I have thought about it carefully. This is my first time serving as a commander."

"If you make great contributions, you may be able to be promoted to a general of the second or third rank."

He said with a grin, "When the time comes, I will protect Yu Heng, so there is no need for big brother!"

"Heh." A light laugh came from outside the inner room.

Xie Mingcheng looked puzzled and looked around.

"Strange, how come I heard my elder brother's voice..."

His voice stopped abruptly when his eyes reached beyond the veil.

Xie Mingli had just finished paying his respects to the little prince when his good brother's guilty voice came through the layers of curtains.

"Hahaha...Brother, why are you here too? Why are you walking so quietly?"

Xie Mingli's voice was flat and there was no sound of emotion.

"I came at an unfortunate time. I just heard someone trying to take my place."

Xie Mingcheng felt like crying but had no tears. It turned out that next time before he spoke ill of someone, he would first check if there was anyone behind them.

He had no choice but to turn his head and look to his sister for help.

"Xiao Yuheng, help!"

Xie Yuheng couldn't help laughing and asked, "When will the second brother leave?"

Although it was just a question, at least it solved the problem.

"I will be there in three days, but General Ji will leave early tomorrow morning."

Xie Yuheng nodded slightly. Speaking of which, General Ji was really a busy man.

At least, she had never seen it when she was 'awake'.

During their brief conversation, Xie Mingli had already checked the ice, tea and other items.

He picked up the fan that Xie Mingcheng had put aside, brought a stool, sat down beside the bed, and gently fanned it downwards.

The wind drives the surrounding air to flow, but it does not directly face Xie Yuheng. It can be said to be meticulous.

Seeing this, someone secretly gritted his teeth again, damn big brother! Humph!

Xie Mingli said, "I passed by the Ministry of Justice when I came here, and Minister Yan happened to be leaving the government office, so I asked him a question."

"What did you ask?"

"Ask Nie Nishang if she can explain which side colluded with Fusang."

"Since we started the war together, it's hard to say it was a coincidence, and the time difference was only a few days."

Xie Yuheng and Xie Mingcheng looked at each other and said, "My second brother and I were discussing this matter just now."

Xie Mingcheng agreed, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at his eldest brother, "Nie Nishang hasn't confessed yet."

Xie Mingli nodded, "I really don't have any idea. According to Minister Yan, his words are as hard as steel."

Xie Mingcheng couldn't help but gasp, "The way the Ministry of Justice interrogates people was improved by Xiao Yuheng."

She doesn't even do this, and she is considered a heroine.

Xie Mingcheng didn’t say the rest, after all, there was a little prince outside.

The three of them kept chatting until Meng Wanning came to deliver the meal, and then they stopped talking.

The sun sets and the moon rises, the stars move.

The next day, Ji Qinglin led his troops eastward by boat to support Qingzhou.

Two days later, Xie Mingcheng carried the tiger talisman and headed north to Bingzhou.

Chu Zhen, the only one left in Beijing, also has another mission - to confiscate property!

I have to say, it feels great to raid a house!

Apart from anything else, she was happy to see so much money flowing into the national treasury!

Every day I’m either raiding houses or on the way to raid houses. It’s this kind of house raiding, it’s so cool!

When the leaves turned yellow, Marquis Jiangling's "illness" was completely cured.

On the first day of August, when the weather should have been clear and pleasant, heavy rain suddenly hit several states in Daliang.

It was also on this day of the grand court meeting that an urgent report came from Yangzhou that a hurricane had landed.

Several cities were endangered and the houses of people along the coast were all destroyed by the hurricane, causing heavy losses and affecting the autumn harvest!
