Aruna's face was gloomy, but finally he didn't say anything else, he just pointed out on the map.

Jiang She nodded slightly as he listened, but he felt that what he said was probably true, and since his goal had been achieved this time, he had to say a few good words, and told Jiang Yuan to leave.

The two walked on the street one by one, and it was already night, but the lights in the city were still on. From time to time, patrol soldiers would pass by in a row, greeting her politely and respectfully.

She responded one by one, but she was somewhat absent-minded, wondering if she should have a few more words with Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan suddenly called her and said: "If the general has no other orders, the subordinates will leave first."

Jiang She was immediately surprised, "Aren't you with me?"

"General Rong." Jiang Yuan lowered his eyes, "Those comrades brought by this subordinate, although they are loyal and courageous, they are quite impatient, and they don't know military discipline. Then it won’t be pretty.”

"Is that so..." Jiang She pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled. He wanted to change his light tone and tease her a little bit, but seeing her serious and respectful attitude, he couldn't help restraining his smile, "Then Let Yuan go, and... let them rest assured that this is all meritorious service and will be rewarded in the future."

Jiang Yuan said: "That's it, this subordinate first thanked the general on their behalf."

She was clearly still respectful and obedient, as unwilling to exceed the rules as before.But Jiang She still felt that something was different, and she could hardly bear to ask her, are you angry?Angry at her for allowing Aruna's arrogance just now, but angry at her to stop her from killing the enemy with her hands, or angry at her for losing the opportunity and causing the city to fall?She really wanted to explain a few words, and also wanted to ask clearly, but before she opened her mouth, she suddenly thought of her hug and that fiery look in her eyes, and couldn't help trembling in her heart, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. With a better birth, I still have to pretend nothing happened and coax her to be happy like before.

After such a hesitation, Jiang Yuan turned around and walked away.

Jiang She came back to his senses, but he didn't call her back, he just sighed involuntarily, then turned his head, and saw a figure flickering in the alley in front of him, he became suspicious, before he had time to reprimand, he saw the black shadow As soon as he moved, he came forward, cupped his hands and said: "The villain has seen the general."

It was none other than Zhu Ying who first entered the city to inquire about the news.

Jiang She thought about the imperial envoy who was still under house arrest by her, and felt on guard, "Why is Captain Zhu here?"

Zhu Ying didn't see anything unusual, and said respectfully as usual: "The villain heard that the general entered the city, but he was too late to greet him earlier, and now he just got away, but he has something important to report to the general. Hearing that the general is going to the prisoner camp, he also I hurried over, but luckily I didn’t miss it.”

Jiang She looked around, "I'm afraid this is not the place to talk."

Zhu Ying smiled, "But the villain thinks that this place is open and open, with no ears behind the wall or worries outside the window."

Jiang She glanced at him calmly, thought for a moment, and finally said calmly: "In that case, Captain Zhu might as well talk about it."

Zhu Ying thanked her, and then said: "My villain heard that the new imperial envoys are not acclimatized, and are even sick in bed, unable to announce the decree. If things go on like this, it is not suitable. I have a recipe here, maybe you can give it a try."

He spoke sincerely, but Jiang She couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said that it was as Qin Caisang said, this Master Zhu is a master with all aspects.Could it be that he doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't know what his intentions are when he speaks provocatively at this time, but he doesn't reveal anything on his face, "The general has been quite worried recently, if Captain Zhu has a magic formula, it would be great. I also ask the captain to enlighten me."

Zhu Ying hurriedly said: "The general is making a fool of himself by saying that. If the folk prescription is useless, I hope the general will not be blamed."

Jiang She glanced at him, "Lieutenant Zhu originally had a good intention, even if it didn't work out, it was God's will, so why would you say something strange?"

"Since that's the case, the villain has the guts to say it directly." Zhu Ying didn't continue to play riddles with her, "The villain heard that this imperial envoy seems to have had a close relationship with the Guozhang's residence."

Jiang She's eyes froze immediately, "What does Captain Du mean by this?"

Zhu Ying smiled silently, but she answered irrelevant questions: "Before leaving Beijing this time, Your Majesty called us into the palace and taught us the opportunity face to face, so that we only obey the general's orders."

Jiang She said nothing, but only looked at him coldly.

Zhu Ying smiled unhurriedly, took out a square box from her bosom, and handed it over with both hands, "Your Majesty wrote this decree with his own hands, and I ask the general to read it."

Jiang She stared at him, finally lifted his robe, and slowly bent his knees.

Zhu Ying hurriedly said: "General, there is no need to be like this..."

Jiang She shook his head, still knelt on the knees, lifted the yellow scroll with both hands, looked at it by the light of the lantern, and just got up, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Emperor Zhaoning really ordered the six of him to obey her orders, even if... one day, he will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted.But if this is the case, why is there the previous decree?She had a close relationship with the Guozhang's mansion... She couldn't help being startled, could it be that Du Guozhang dared to pretend?

Zhu Ying said in a low voice from the side: "Qi Linwei is dedicated to His Majesty all his life, and he must obey orders. If the Lord dies, he will be martyred. However, His Majesty is merciful and has removed the six of us from the book. From now on, I will wait for you The general is the main one, and wherever the general orders, he must do his best until he dies."

After saying that, he folded his knees and knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and there were voices responding one after another.

Jiang She's expression remained unmoved, but he turned sideways, glanced at the five black figures that appeared in the alley at some time, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Ying, "Why did you dare to speak out until today?"

Zhu Ying lowered her eyes and said: "General Mingjian, Your Majesty treats the general very dearly, so we think that what the imperial envoy said may be strange, I'm afraid we can't fully believe it."

Was it because of her disobedience?It's barely plausible.Jiang She was silent for a moment, but did not pursue further, "Then what should I do in the opinion of the captain?"

Zhu Ying still respectfully said: "The villain is blunt and dare not speak out, but if the general wants to, he can also make the imperial envoy report that he is seriously ill."

This is for him to deceive the emperor. Jiang She had thought about it, but in the end he still felt that it was not right. No matter whether the will was true or not, and whether she was disrespectful or not, "Even if he changed his words alone, I'm afraid he couldn't stop it." There are many people talking. If General Ben takes the lead in pleading guilty, I wonder if the captain thinks it is okay?"

Zhu Ying paused slightly, as if intending to look at his colleagues, but in the end he still didn't raise his head, but said in a respectful tone: "The general is loyal to the country, and it should be stated in the above table. Your Majesty is kind, if you know what is right and wrong , will not be punished, but this move may also come true, I am afraid that it will damage the general's reputation."

He was still cautious in his words, but the meaning behind his words was vaguely revealed, Jiang She suddenly snorted, "Do it and do it, are you afraid of people talking about it?"

Zhu Ying seemed to be taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer the words, and then fell silent for a moment.

Jiang She shook his head, "That's all, let's discuss this matter again. The captains please come up."

But none of them got up, Zhu Ying said something eloquently, inside and outside the words, but they wanted a title.

Jiang She didn't say yes or no, just passed it vaguely, and handed him the sheepskin roll, "I'm still bothering the captain to give this thing to Colonel Shi Qin."

Seeing that Zhu Ying was not sure what to say, she didn't bother anymore, she answered in a low voice, took it over and put it away carefully.

Jiang She said a few more innocuous greetings, and then left with them.At this time, after walking two streets, the cold wind swept by, and I felt the cold behind my back, and my inner robe was already wet with sweat before I knew it.When I got back to my house and lay on the couch, even though I closed my eyes, my heart was still overwhelmed. Sometimes I thought about the repeated actions of Emperor Zhaoning, sometimes I thought about the bloody situation in Liangzhou, and sometimes I thought of Jiang Yuan who was so close, I couldn't bear it. Live tossing and turning.

He didn't get a good night's sleep all night, and it was hard to wait until dawn, and the various ministries came to report back, so that they were able to forget everything about the night and concentrate on thinking about how to march.After resting in Jicheng for a few days, although Zhang Tu and others still had objections, they failed to stop her from going north again.

On this day, the camp was set up, but there was a noise of gongs and drums, the tent soldiers reported that Hao Dalong had returned, and that he had brought an important prisoner with him.

Jiang She didn't expect him to really capture any important person. He was asked to ambush at the beginning because he didn't want him to bear the name of resisting the decree, but he didn't want him to go away for many days without hearing from him. Kindly invite him in.

I saw him rushing in the next moment, and said in a thunderous voice: "General, this bearded girl is extremely cunning. It took a lot of effort to capture her, but the way is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high, and she was still captured." I'll take it!" As he spoke, he pushed the woman forward, announcing her identity as if asking for credit, "General, this is Li Wangba's favorite concubine. bad idea."

Hearing his plausible words, Jiang She suddenly felt his eyelids twitch, looked up, and saw the bearded girl raised her head, with a helpless smile on her face, "Cousin, long time no see."
