Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the court fell into a brief panic.

Early this morning, a military report came from Western Xinjiang. The Beiwu army led by the third prince Qi Changting was ambushed by the Western Turks as soon as they arrived at the edge of Yiwu County.

No one knows how the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks quietly crossed the border and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yiwu County, and no one knows why the 5000 reinforcements led by Qi Changting were scattered and fled by the [-] cavalry. even--

The main general is missing.

As soon as Emperor Huicheng's condition improved, he was shocked by the news again and couldn't stop coughing on the spot.

Resentment and hatred flashed across the eyes of the old emperor. He knew that it must be the fault of the poisonous woman of the empress.

However, Emperor Huisheng never expected that in the Chunhe Palace at this moment, the empress was also surprised.

The Turks actually broke into the territory of Dahui to intercept and kill the reinforcements? !

How could this be so, did the Xifu army sit and eat dry food? !

They didn't even notice the Turkic army that was able to beat [-] troops to flee?

For a moment, the queen even wondered whether Qi Jingmin had colluded with the Western Turks and let the enemy in on his own initiative.

And, moreover!

The queen curled her fingers, and the long armor almost carved scratches on the sandalwood makeup case.

The bureau she worked so hard to set up was abolished.

Contrary to what Baiqiao thought, the queen didn't intend to spend too much time on Qi Changting, a little wild species without the support of his mother's family. The tampering with food, grass and medicinal materials was to flatter him. Qi Yunzheng prepared it.

So the queen directly manipulated the army horse allocated to the Beiwu army.

Those horses were all infected with the disease. They look fine now, but they should be sick when they arrive in Xijiang.

At that time, Qi Changting has no horses, so what can he use to compete with the cavalry of the Western Turks?

If he wants to retreat, the court will punish him for his crimes. If he is forced, he will die without a whole body. What's more, if he directly rebels, that would be even better.

Qi Jingmin's treasonous crime committed in the palace could also be pinned on his head, and the court justifiably sent troops to kill him, taking advantage of the trend to pacify the western border.

What a perfect plan.

The queen is in a hurry.

But right now, I can only pray that Qi Changting is not just missing, but completely died at the hands of the Western Turks.

In Qianfang Cabinet, after He Cheng changed his clothes, he returned to Qi Tonghe's private room, where Qi Tonghe was talking about the specific situation with Baiqiao.

"The Turks went deep into the territory of Yiwu County, and caught the young master and the [-] Beiwu army by surprise. A large number of horses were thrown off the horses and abandoned," Qi Tonghe said solemnly.

"Now what is lacking in western Xinjiang is not only food, but also horses. The former can survive for a while if they are hungry. Fight back!"

"Can the girl do it?"

He Cheng listened outside the door for a while, his knuckles pressing on the door turned white.

Lord Qi is no longer playing with fire, but with firecrackers. Isn't he afraid that His Highness will strip him alive?

In the room, facing Qi Tonghe, Bai Qiao raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, and said irritably, "Horses and everything else are secondary, shouldn't finding out where others are is the first priority right now?"

Qi Tonghe choked, but didn't catch up for a while.

He Chengcheng pushed the door open at this moment and interrupted Baiqiao's pressing questioning.

There was a gash under his left eye with an unknown weapon, and the eye would be lost in two minutes, which was enough for Bai Qiao to imagine how critical the situation was at that time.

The girl took a deep breath, pressed the things in her head, and asked in a calm voice, "What's going on? Don't talk about your highness's kung fu. Hidden weapons and light kung fu should be first-class. Who knows?" He shouldn't have disappeared if he disappeared."

The girl's eyes were sharp, staring at He Cheng's every expression.

She didn't believe that Qi Changting would just disappear, neither the villain in the book nor the boy in her eyes could be so weak!

Although she didn't want to admit it, she believed him from the bottom of her heart.

Qi Tonghe frantically winked at He Cheng.

He Cheng took a deep breath, lowered his eyes and bowed his hands, and just about to speak, he heard Bai Qiao shouted in a low voice: "Look up, look into my eyes and say!"

He Cheng: "!"

For some reason, He Cheng had the illusion that Qi Changting was interrogating him at this moment, and he was terrified.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

These two people... these two people, really.

He Cheng's eyes suddenly felt a little sore, he gritted his teeth, ignored Qi Tonghe's murderous eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, he didn't actually disappear, he left on purpose."

"It's fake that the Turks went deep into the hinterland of Yiwu County, it's to confuse the Queen and His Royal Highness."

Qi Tonghe choked on his chest, wishing he could smash the teacup in his hand on He Cheng's head.

It's a fake, it's a game he set up.

Baiqiao didn't say a word, but it felt like a stone fell heavily in his heart, and his hands and feet felt weak for a while.

He Cheng swallowed his saliva, and continued: "It was when he was about to enter Yiwu County, that His Highness's mount, Wu Hao, was suddenly in a wrong state."

"Your Highness has been with that black horse for seven years, and they are very familiar with each other. At first, His Highness suspected that there was a problem with the drinking water in the team. After investigation, it was discovered that the problem was with the horses accompanying the army."

"There are dozens of sick horses in the horse herd, and almost the entire horse herd was more or less infected with the disease along the way. Such horses must never be brought into the Xifu army, but the Xifu army is in urgent need of war horses..."

"So he faked a Turkic raid and took away the war horses. In fact, he brought the large group of war horses into the Turkic territory pretending to be a caravan, and wanted to sell these horses to the Turkic people." Bai Qiao suddenly continued the conversation.

He Cheng was taken aback by Bai Qiao's refutation of the plan, and he nodded hesitantly after a long while, and added: "I still plan to, when the Turkic army collects these horses and sends them to the racecourse, the gate of the field is wide open, and he can take a bunch of horses with him." A small team raided and snatched back the healthy horses from the Turkic racecourse.”

Behind the table, the girl sneered.

The two men in the room wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads at the same time. After wiping off the sweat, they didn't show it on their faces, and their hearts hung high.

"So in the beginning, you two were lying to me."

Bai Qiao first looked at He Cheng, and said quietly: "Your Royal Highness doesn't trust me, and dare not entrust me with buying horses, so he just coaxed me like someone else, and only said that he disappeared."

He Cheng was taken aback, and even if he wanted to refute, Bai Qiao turned to Qi Tonghe, "The shopkeeper Qi, you trust my ability but not my character, I'm afraid that I'll defect like before because I'm afraid of the power of the court, So he exaggerated his situation, like when he forced me to raise food for Xijiang, using the people of Xijiang to threaten me to die."

He Cheng: "No!"

Qi Tonghe: "Yes."

The two men looked at each other, and He Chengxian hurriedly said: "It's not that your highness can't trust a girl, but buying a horse is different from raising food. You just have to buy it if you have the money. The whole process is full of dangers. Your highness is afraid..."

"He's afraid of shit!" Bai Qiao swears suddenly, and his eyes are red, "He's not afraid that he will die in the border, and I'll be a widow in Dongdu!"

"..."

live, live widow...

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and even the crackling charcoal stove seemed to shut its mouth suddenly.

The room fell into a long silence, He Cheng and Qi Tonghe looked at each other with different expressions in their eyes.

As for Bai Qiao himself, he wished he could bury his previous self alive in Qian Fang's pile of money.

Look what magic words this says!

Widow?To be widowed by Qi Changting? !My brain is flooded!

But the brain, but the brain, let you talk but the brain!

The white girl whose eyes were reddened by the aggressiveness just now stood up suddenly, strode towards the door, sneered, and dropped the last horrifying speech:

"It's fine if he's dead. If he's dead, I'll sell Qianfang's land deed and go to the little mansion to make him one, two, three, four, five little princes!"

"..."

Qi Changting is not really missing, this should be good news for Bai Qiao.

But everything has two sides.

Bai Qiao had some guesses in his head, so that afternoon he thought of a way to sneak into the prime minister's mansion to find out what Ye Huan said.

However, the defense of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been strengthened by a small amount. If Baiqiao hadn't been astute, he would almost have been caught by the servant.

——Ye Fu's position is very clear.

Qi Changting has already disappeared, and his life and death are uncertain, who would dare to pin their hopes on him?

As for raising food?People in Xijiang?If you can't even take care of yourself, you still care about them?

Bai Qiao was still a little bit unwilling to give up, trying to find out Ye Huan's own meaning, but a letter sent to Qian Fang that night completely extinguished this idea.

It was a half-written proposal that had not yet been signed.

A letter from Ye Huan was attached at the back, tactfully expressing his refusal.

Bai Qiao was flipping through the case files in the secret room at the time, feeling dizzy and almost nauseated.

Bai Xiao was able to get up and handed her the letter in person.

For a moment, Baiqiao didn't know whether to mourn for the author of the original book, or for the world he created.

The flames engulfed the handwriting that was as proud as it was described in the same book, unable to reflect the indifference in the girl's eyes.

Some people risked their lives to move forward with heavy burdens, while others racked their brains to fight dog dogs.

It's really... irritating.

Baiqiao is very irritable, and the consequences are serious.

Bai Xiao, who was standing aside, clearly saw a murderous intent in his sister's eyes for the first time.

If you don't want to take the money out, don't blame her for beating them up.

The girl twirled the quill between her fingers, walked to the pipe in the corner of the secret room, and bent down to pick up today's latest information.

"Ticket number." The girl raised her eyebrows slightly.

Her shallow historical knowledge told her that the next stage of Guifang was indeed a bank, and it was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that it officially evolved into a bank.

Although the ticket number seems to be just an extension of the counter shop, it has actually changed the "quality" of the counter shop little by little.

It must not be ordinary people who can come up with such a change.

Coincidentally, this is a book, and there are often only a few extraordinary people in a book.

The corner of Baiqiao's lips raised a bright but somewhat sinister smile.

It's just that this unusual master is still too immature. Even after being severely beaten by Gan Fang, he probably still didn't realize the following things:

Since ancient times, although war is terrible, it can only kill people in the invisible.

And finance, while bringing infinite power to the world,

——It can also kill people invisible.

The girl hummed an unknown song, sealed the still hot file, and put it in the corresponding position on the shelf.

Then he walked back to the desk, dried the document he had just written, folded it in half and stuffed it into his sleeve.

The net has been cast.

Fish, when can you take the bait?

The author has something to say:

Bai Qiao: It's good to die. After you die, you can go to Xiao Xianrou in an open and honest manner.

Qi Changting: ...

After the new emperor came to power, everyone was guessing where the first fire would burn.

Qi Tonghe: Corrupt officials?

Chang Cen: Yellow River water conservancy?

He Cheng: Enemy old party?

Qi Changting: Oh, superficial!I want to sweep pornography!All over the territory of Dahui, completely clear up the small halls!
