heart pole

In the lobby of Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion, Yan Lingxi said a word, and the atmosphere became tense again.

"Yan Lingxi!" Yan Xun was furious because of this.

"Eleventh Young Master, you let three hundred craftsmen fall into the trap, yet you are still plausible." Meng Yiran stood up, her delicate face furious, her left hand reached behind her waist, and grasped a short black blade.

Cheng Tianya raised his eyebrows, his sharp eyes stared at Meng Yiran's small movements, but Yan Lingxi raised his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Ha, keep eating."

"Eleventh Yan, the two armies were fighting, and because one of them fled the battle, the army's morale was in turmoil, leading to a big defeat. Should this soldier be beheaded?" Yunzhou Governor Shi got up and bowed his hands to Yan Lingxi.

Yan Lingxi responded without changing his face: "Then Sun Changshi, the army's morale was in chaos and he couldn't control the situation, leading to a big defeat, should he kill this commander?"

"This..." Governor Yun's speech faltered, and Governor Youzhou stood up and continued, "If it is the reason, it is the disaster of the fugitive. Can this soldier be exonerated?"

"Of course," Yan Lingxi looked at each other with raised eyebrows, raised his gray robe lightly, covered his cheeks with a folding fan, and said with a drawn out tone, "No."

"Eleventh Young Master, is this a confession?" Youzhou Governor Shi said contemptuously.

"Zhang Changshi, it's not the young man who escaped, but rather." Yan Lingxi's eyes became more suspicious, the gray fan shook, and he said eloquently: "General Qin Liyan."

"Yan Lingxi, General Qin is a good general loved by everyone in Jiangzhou, you are not allowed to insult him!" The three generals on the right stood up and pressed their sabers at the same time, and the three double iron shoes took a step forward, and the threatening atmosphere suddenly opened up.

"Huh?" Cheng Tianya raised his sword eyebrows, raised his arms and slapped the table, the orange sword intent fluttered out with Mo's sleeves, knocking back the approaching generals.

Yan Lingxi tapped the table with the handle of the fan in his hand, looked at the cold sweat on the foreheads of the three generals, and said with a smile: "Generals, calm down, um, calm down." Then, he picked up the teacup on the table, "Come on, Pour tea."

Cheng Tianya glared at those generals with a sharp gaze, and the latter three knew that they were not easy to mess with, so they immediately retreated to their seats.

After the tea was filled, Yan Lingxi sipped a few sips, smiling unabated, "I would like to ask you one thing first, you know the Yan family signal is on."

Youzhou governor Shi snorted and said, "That's natural. The Yan family provided Jiangqin Youyun four prefectures with border defense signal flares, using Shiqing bullets as an attack and Shifei bullets as a retreat. Everyone in the four prefectures knows."

Yan Lingxi asked back: "Does my lord know about Shihu bombs?"

Hearing this, Yanlu narrowed his eyes slightly.And Youzhou Governor Shi replied without hesitation: "What kind of stone ammunition, there are only these two kinds of border guard signals."

The generals and Chang Shi of You and Yun prefectures also shook their heads to show their ignorance.

But Yan Lingxi glanced at the expressions of Jiangzhou Changshi and the general at the moment, and caught a trace of hesitation from their faces.

Jiangzhou Changshi's eyes met Yan Lingxi inadvertently, and his expression was cramped for a while.

Yan Lingxi smiled happily, "It seems that Mr. Shang has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Jiangzhou Governor Shi was taken aback, "This..."

"That's enough, Brother Eleven." Yanlu wanted to interrupt the conversation.

Suddenly, a familiar figure in black clothes appeared in front of the lobby door, and a leisurely and clear voice sounded, "Hey, I'm late again, my lord, please forgive me."

"Ah, ah," Yan Lingxi immediately got up when he saw the situation, "Commander Fu, you are here, come here, this is your seat." Then he took two steps forward, staring at the governor of Jiangzhou and the general, "Where did we just talk about?" Yes? Oh yes, please tell the two officials of Jiangzhou about the purpose of the stone ammunition."

"This..." The two in Jiangzhou looked at each other nervously, faltering and fumbling at the same time quietly looking at Yanxie.

"Thank you, Eleventh Young Master." Fu Mingchuan naturally stepped forward and sat down happily, with the account book in his hand spread out on the table, flipping through a few pages from time to time, and he said, "Oh, I'm talking about Shi Hudan, don't you both agree on this matter?" Do you know?" He casually pointed to Meng Yiran and Ye Gushu beside him.

Ye Gushu just sneered, and there was no trace of emotion on his sharp-edged cheeks.

Meng Yiran let out a small sigh, "This is the amber bomb."

Yan Lingxi waved his folding fan, "The stone ammunition bullet is the assembly order. The army who sees this signal must rush to the place where the signal was sent. Lord Shang, am I right?"

Jiangzhou Governor Shi hesitated and nodded, "Yes. But so what?"

Yan Lingxi nodded and said: "The Battle of Youdieling, just when our army was about to annihilate the Turkic army, General Qin Liyan suddenly left his post and came to a place far away from the battle line. Take the main force of our army. It caused chaos in the formation of our army, so it was destroyed. And just this month, someone took a stone ammunition from the Yanjia warehouse."

Meng Yiran laughed, "But Eleventh Young Master, according to what you said, why did General Qin Liyan still die in battle? If he wants to escape, he can directly lead his army back after the signal."

Yan Lingxi replied calmly, "General Qin is loyal, but he was maliciously instructed by someone above to interfere with him, but in the end his conscience did not allow him to do so. Why did Commander Meng change the topic? The most critical stone ammunition in the battle situation, who actually took it?"

"Everyone back down." Yan Xun said suddenly.

"The governor?" Almost everyone looked at her in surprise, their eyes full of puzzlement.And Fu Mingchuan turned the black Buddhist beads in his hand, yawned after a moment of short thought, picked up the account book and went out first; Ye Gushu also stepped out of the hall door without saying a word; A piece of biscuit on the table was eaten.

"Go out. Only Eleven Young Masters will be left." Yanlu waved his hand, and there was no trace of panic on his serious face.

Yan Lingxi immediately winked at Cheng Tianya, who snorted coldly and walked out with half a biscuit.

After the door was closed, Yanlu spoke first, "Eleventh, what do you think about this matter."

Yan Lingxi looked contemptuous, folded the folding fan in his hand, and said immediately, "Ha, General Qin has already told me."

Yan Xun was startled slightly, and his tense face relaxed a little, "General Qin's army, on the surface, is the imperial army, but in fact it is my Yan family's own soldiers. I made this arrangement to protect this team."

Yan Lingxi tapped his palm with his folding fan, "Just now when Fu Mingchuan was sitting next to me, I hinted him with gestures to turn the account book to the page where the signal flares are collected, and your name and the name of General Qin Liyan are indeed written on it. But what? , General Qin Liyan has never used stone ammunition."

Yanlu's eyes sharpened, he patted his seat and stood up, "Are you threatening me?"

Yan Lingxi squinted at his third sister, and after a long time laughed, "Ha." With a dusting of the gray robe, something seemed to fly over.

Yanlu raised her hand to take it, "Huh?" She spread out her palm, and there were three Turkic soldier symbols.

"Although the battle of Youdie Ridge was not won, it also wiped out the troops of the Turkic Three Battalions." Yan Lingxi smiled.

"You want to offset the merits and demerits, and write off the damage to the Ministry of Industry and the defeat?" Yan Xun weighed the iron token in his hand, looked up at him, "Is it that easy?"

"Presumably the governor has his own way." Yan Lingxi turned his back to Yan Xun and walked a few steps. Suddenly, the wooden window in the lobby opened, and a white figure flew past. Yan Xun was startled, and held his right hand The Xuanmo sword beside the chair.

"Great governor, don't panic." The visitor's white clothes were like snow, his long sword was like a drill, his brows were quiet and bright, and his deep blue eyes sparkled under the bright lights. "Ning is just a messenger."

"Report the letter?" There were ripples of hesitation in Yan Lai's cold expression.

Ning Jingyuan raised a black jade arrow, engraved with the word "工" on the black jade, which made Yan Xun startled. "This is the arrow made by the Ministry of Ink Industry? Where did you come from?"

"Everyone in your ink industry department has returned to Jiangzhou. Ye Gushu and Meng Yiran are resettling them."

When Yanlu heard about Ye Gushu and Meng Yiran, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and his expression eased.However, the cloud of doubt squeezed out between Yan Lingxi's brows became deeper and deeper.

Tranquility observed his abnormal state, "Lingxi?"

"Ah." Yan Lingxi suddenly came back to his senses, "As expected of Brother Jingyuan, you came back so fast." Then he smiled friendly and patted Jingyuan on the shoulder.

"This is your report?" Yan Lai stared at Ning Jingyuan.

"More than that." Yan Lingxi raised his folding fan, Tranquility threw out another white letterhead, and flew into Yanlu's hand.The gray cloud cross pattern on the seal of the letter was impressive, which made her awe-inspiring. Although the letter had not been opened, she knew who wrote it.

"You informed the head of the sect before you left?" Tranquility looked at him calmly, "I just arrived at the Luochen station, and the envoy of the alliance who is in charge of connecting the various sects handed me this letter."

"Jingyuan, Jingyuan." Yan Lingxi glanced coldly at Yanshang whose expression changed subtly, then picked up the folding fan and tapped on Jingyuan's chest, "The cunning rabbit always wants three caves, learn more. Oh , you are an ice rabbit, you may not be able to learn."

"..." After reading the letter, Yanlan's tone was uneven, "Eleventh brother, you have a good relationship with the leader."

"It's okay. However, after a while in the lobby tonight, I realized that there are so many officials and generals in the four prefectures belonging to my Yan family, and the third sister is also doing well. She really deserves to be the head of the first family in Hedong." Yan Lingxi Pacing in the lobby while laughing, "By the way, is father in Qinzhou these two days?"

"Father never goes out, why do you ask this suddenly."

Yan Lingxi pondered for a while, and the corners of his eyes moved slightly, "Then, when did the second brother arrive in Jiangzhou?"

Yanlu is in control of the Moying Department of the Yan family, and he knows all about intelligence, "I just came here not long ago. There are a lot of supplies needed to mobilize this war. He has been dispatching this matter in Qinzhou before."

Yan Lingxi nodded, "Oh..."

Yanlu narrowed his eyes, "I always feel that you have something to hide from me in the battle of Youdie Ridge."

Yan Lingxi turned around and took three steps forward, standing face to face with his third sister, "What about the third sister, did you not tell me something? For example, why did my six elder brothers all die shortly after birth? ?” After finishing speaking, a scroll of bamboo slips was thrown out from under the sleeve of the gray robe.

As soon as this remark came out, Ning Jingyuan only felt that the lobby of these three people was as cold as an ice cave in the abyss.After a few weeks of turning around, the bamboo slips landed on the table in front of the sitting hall, and they were spread out suddenly, and twelve lines of characters with correct engravings jumped out: "

The eldest daughter Yanxue died at [-]

Two son Yan Linghai

Three daughters

The fourth son Yan Linghe died young

Nine daughters Yanshuang disappeared at the age of nine

Twelve son inkstone zero ripples"

Under the starry night, the carriage was galloping, the wind was blowing, and the vegetation was rustling.Mu Xingying and Ye Fengting were facing each other with their eyes closed. Hearing the rustling of the grass and trees, the former gave a sneer and gently lifted the curtain of the car.

Outside the carriage, there is no woods or vegetation, but surrounded by a sword array formed by thousands of gray swords and blades, the swords flying all over the sky are like falling leaves and fluff, and the carriage seems to be moving forward on a long and narrow sword .
