After the salt case, the DPRK and China have been at peace for some time.Seeing that nothing serious happened, Ye Mingfei began to study her sword-making skills again.Soon, her foundry practice hit a bottleneck, so she decided to turn to research on gold and silverware, hoping to find inspiration.The Ye family's sword casting is in a luxurious style. It is not a waste of time to study gold and silverware and integrate it into sword casting in the future.

Knowing about Ye Mingfei's new hobby, the emperor gave her a token, allowing her to enter and exit the Shanjin Bureau at will, and ask the craftsmen of the Shanjin Bureau for advice.The Shanjin Bureau is the royal workshop, which not only gathers the top gold and silverware makers in the Tang Dynasty, but also countless artisans from the Western Regions who come here admiringly.

Today's general supervisor Shar Khan is a native of the Western Regions. With his exquisite gold and silverware making skills, he has become the favorite of the emperor.Ye Mingfei has the emperor's decree and is Di Renjie's granddaughter. In addition, she is good at making friends, so she can get along like a duck to water in the Shanjin Bureau.Shar Khan, the general supervisor, is very enthusiastic about her, and she has benefited a lot from teaching several times.

Besides, not long after Li Yuanfang and Di Ruyan got married, a letter from Bingzhou said that Master Di was ill.Di Ruyan recognized Di Renjie as her uncle, and hung her under the elder's knee. Although she had never met him before, she had the names of father and daughter.Seeing that Di Renjie was worried about his elder brother, Ruyan volunteered to go back to Bingzhou to serve the elder.

In the past, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang had official duties, but Di Ruyan and Xiao Qing were not boring as companions.Now that Ruyan has gone to Bingzhou, Xiaoqing seems to have nothing to do.Ye Mingfei saw that she was bored, so she discussed with Xiao Qing, and handed over her horse farm and other properties to Xiao Qing to take care of.

Xiaoqing was shocked when she heard that Ye Mingfei was going to hand over her property to her.Xiaoqing was willing to take over after Ye Mingfei explained that she would accept these industries and continue to subsidize the free clinics in several medical clinics and Dorjia civilian schools on her behalf.This kind girl always hoped that she could do something to atone for what her father and sister had done.

It's just that when Xiaoqing was at home, he didn't want to participate in the illegal activities of Crouching Tiger Village, and he didn't have much experience.On Di Renjie's suggestion, Ye Mingfei took Xiaoqing to visit Ning County Lord and invited Ning County Lord to join his gang.

Lord Ning is Ning Shi, the widow of Master Li Han, the doctor of the Ministry of Water, who died in the salt case. The secret letter of Master Li Han was successfully handed over to Di Renjie. Although Li Yuanfang and Di Ruyan were desperately protecting each other, Ye Mingfei rescued Ning Shi in time. But what's more, Ning's resourcefulness kept this most important secret letter.At the end of the salt case, the true face of Lu Jiying, the naive and treacherous magistrate of Shanyang County, was revealed, and it was also inseparable from Ning's contribution.

After the salt case was over, Mr. Li Han was wronged, and the emperor rewarded Mr. Li Han, who died in the line of duty. As a widow, Mrs. Ning received the imperial order from the county magistrate. .In addition to imperial orders, the emperor also rewarded a large number of gold and silver artifacts.

The Ning family and Li Han met at the end of their lives, and they had a strong relationship. After inheriting the inheritance, they had no intention of remarrying.The Li family is not an aristocratic family, and Li Han's brothers are honest and responsible, and no one competes with her for inheritance.The Ning family then negotiated with the Li family's brothers and sister-in-law, and adopted a son and a daughter to raise them under their knees, and Li Han, the dead husband, kept offering sacrifices.

The two adopted children of Mr. Ning County are both five or six years old. There are servants at home to take care of them.Although she is a widow, she is not easy to sit and eat. If she can do something with others, realize her own value, and benefit the future of the children, why not do it.

Ning was an orphan when she was young. Before marrying Li Han, she was a wandering entertainer and she had some knowledge.In addition, she and Xiaoqing are both quite intelligent, and with the foundation laid by Ye Mingfei and the backing, they have actually started this career.In less than half a year, a restaurant was built in Beijing, and the number of medical clinics and students funded increased.

Ye Mingfei knew that she would not stay here forever, and thought that in the future, she would just leave it to the steward of the Di Mansion and die day by day.Now it has been transferred to Ningxian Jun and Xiaoqing, and it is a surprise that they have made such a career.

This day Ye Mingfei returned home from the Shanjin Bureau, and saw Mr. Ningxian and Xiaoqing sitting in the courtyard to settle accounts.

Ye Mingfei sat down beside the two of them, Xiao Qing poured her tea, Ning County Lord suddenly said: "Xiao Fei, the business of the racecourse is very good recently, but there is going to be a war at the border?"

Ye Mingfei sighed and said, "Yes! In the past two years, the militant aristocrats in Turkic countries have begun to gain the upper hand. Although Jili Khan has the support of Hushi and Shibi Khan, he can't hold back the Lu Wubu gradually."

Jili Khan and Shibi Khan tend to be soft-tempered, which has advantages and disadvantages.The advantage is that the two khans advocate peace and want to stick to peace, but the disadvantage is that their soft personalities cannot suppress the belligerent nobles below.

Not long ago, in disregard of the peace covenant between the two countries, the five Turkic nobles invaded the four towns of Kucha, Shule, Khotan and Suiye in Anxi, the hubs on the Silk Road. Team.Because Jili Khan and Shibi Khan are in the main battle, the emperor and Di Renjie ordered the Anxi Dufu to restrain themselves, so as not to start a full-scale war.

If Da Zhou took the initiative to attack, due to his position, Ji Li Khan and Shibi Khan, who were in charge of peace, could only participate in the war, which was in the arms of the warlike nobles.But the restraint of the Great Zhou was regarded as cowardice by the Turkic militant nobles, and it intensified and began to be blocked.

General Wang Xiaojie sent [-] troops to Dunhuang County to guard against the Turkic customs.But because the emperor strictly prohibited the army from taking the initiative to attack, Wang Xiaojie had to defend the long border line exhaustedly.Often when the frontier army arrives, the village has already been massacred.For a leading general, this kind of slowness is simply maddening. Wang Xiaojie understands the overall situation, and also knows that the imperial court's order is to avoid light weapons and start a full-scale war.But to know is to know, to accept is to accept, for this reason, General Wang, who believes that offense is the best defense, did not skip a lot.Ye Mingfei saw Wang Xiaojie's complaining letter from Li Yuanfang many times. The letter was written to Li Yuanfang, but it was insinuating. She wanted to find out Di Renjie's tone.

"Then will this battle be fought?" Xiaoqing asked with concern.

After Crouching Tiger Village returned to normal, he was dispatched to serve in the army. Xiaoqing's father and sister were both under Wang Xiaojie's tent.If there is a war, Dunhuang County must be on the front line, which means that Ge Tianba and Ge Yayun's father and daughter will also go up to kill the enemy.

"Your Majesty and Grandpa don't want to fight. The court has not been rich in recent years. If there is a war, the court's finances and taxes will be tight. What's more, in such a war, I don't know how many people will have their wives and children. But if they don't fight, these belligerent nobles are really annoying. Annoyed, the people on the border are too miserable."

"The best way is that Geely Khan can suppress the militant nobles." Ningxian Jun said.

"That's what you say, but Geely Khan—" Ye Mingfei felt a little helpless, "If His Majesty hadn't sent troops to help, Geely Khan would not have been able to defeat his uncle Modu. Shang Modu's son also seems to be somewhat powerless."

The three of them were talking when they saw a pigeon cooing and landed on the table.

Ye Mingfei took the small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, and jumped up in surprise: "Brother Meow finally got news! It has been more than a year since he said he was going to the Western Regions for business, and he thought he would go back by himself, instead of waiting for me. Dangling in the Western Regions."

"Now that the border is under martial law, Brother Ah Chen may not be able to leave when he comes back from the Western Regions. I will go find my grandfather and pick him up at the border."

"Who is Brother Meow?" Ning Xianjun asked curiously.

Xiao Qing shook his head blankly.

When Ye Mingfei went to the study, she heard Li Yuanfang and Di Renjie talking about something.

"Grandpa, Uncle Yuanfang, what are you talking about?"

"What can there be? It's not the last case."

"Oh, the case of reselling arms? Is there any clue? Right now the border is tight, so it happens that someone resells arms, but it cannot be ignored."

Di Renjie nodded approvingly.It is for this reason that he wants to verify the clues he has found so far, because the clues they have found now all point to the Wu family.But what are the benefits of being an enemy of the Wu family, overthrowing the emperor?Hmph~ Those trashy wretches of the Wu family are only relying on the emperor. If the emperor does not get better, they will only be unlucky first.

Li Yuanfang didn't elaborate on the meaning of the case, but instead asked, "What's the matter with you coming here at this time?"

"I want to go to Dunhuang County."

"But Lu Chen is coming back?"

"Nothing can be hidden from grandpa." Ye Mingfei muttered.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Ask Qi Hu and Pan Yue to accompany you, and visit Xiaojie by the way."

"It's nothing to visit Uncle Wang, I'm just worried!" Ye Mingfei said with his hands behind his back, "Uncle Wang's first sentence when he saw me must be to say hello to grandpa, and the second sentence must be to ask whether the battle will be fought or not."

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang smiled helplessly.

"A big war cannot be easily started, but if you can seize the opportunity, a partial battle can be done, and it is best to scare people at once."

"Uncle Wang must also understand this ideal, but the battle line in Dunhuang County is so long, and Uncle Wang's command is mainly infantry, which is not as mobile as the Turkic cavalry. He can't evenly disperse the [-] troops on the border, so how can he fight? "Thinking about Ye Mingfei being aggrieved by Wang Xiaojie.

The three looked at each other, and finally sighed together.

Ye Mingfei is an activist, she said she was going to Dunhuang, and set off with Qi Hu Pan Yue the next day.The three of them arrived at Dunhuang County quickly, and Wang Xiaojie received the letter and went to the door to greet them in person.Sure enough, as Ye Mingfei expected, Wang Xiaojie first asked Di Renjie how he was when they met, and then complained.

Ye Mingfei listened carefully to General Wang's complaints about this, and then expressed to him her stance of sharing the same hatred with the enemy.General Wang was very moved, so he asked about the purpose of Ye Mingfei's trip.

"Brother Ah Chen went to the Western Regions and is coming back. I'm afraid that the martial law at the border will make it difficult to leave, so I came to pick him up."

Wang Xiaojie thought for a while and said: "It's simple. I will write you a warrant to allow you to come and go freely. If you can contact Mr. Lu, let him go through the Zhenyuan pass. The Zhenyuan pass is not convenient for large troops to pass through, and the Turks will not heavy troops there. Defensive, relatively safe."
