The general said she doesn't take a wife

Hearing the guards outside the tent say that a captain under Pei Qing was asking for an audience outside the tent, Lin Aoxue immediately cheered up and immediately asked someone to come into the tent for a detailed discussion.

This young general's name is Xue Guan, he doesn't look very old, he is in his early twenties, his eyes are bright and shining, he can be seen as a person with extraordinary mind, even though his appearance is ordinary, he can't hide his aura Lin Aoxue couldn't help but let Lin Aoxue sigh secretly because of her capable demeanor, Pei Qing also has a vicious vision when it comes to selecting candidates.

Whether it is Pei Qing or Yunyan, their ability to gain a foothold in the northern border has a lot to do with their insight to a large extent.Needless to say, Yunyan, she had been in a crowded place like Yanyu Building for a long time, and she had already developed a pair of discerning eyes, but Pei Qing's ability in this aspect really surprised Lin Aoxue.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly, her ability was far from enough to support the overall situation.

After Xue Guan entered the tent, he first bowed to Lin Aoxue, and then said straight to the point:

"General, my subordinate is Xue Guan, the captain under General Pei's command. Before General Pei and General Yu left the camp today, he told his subordinates that if he did not return within an hour, he would ask his subordinates to hand over this order to the general and write The subordinates lead the general to Fuyunzhuang."

Lin Aoxue took what was handed over from Xue Guan, it was a sapphire plaque, the material of this jade plaque was the same as the jade pendant she used to contact Pei Qing earlier.Lin Aoxue stroked the surface of the jade tablet with her thumb, she couldn't help staring, and asked in surprise:

"Fuyunzhuang?"

Xue Guan nodded, then said:

"There is General Pei's eyeliner in Fuyun Manor, please move to Fuyun Manor to take charge of the overall situation."

Lin Aoxue couldn't help but be surprised. The meaning revealed by Xue Guan's words was that the entire Fuyun Village was under Pei Qing's power, and that Fuyun Village was actually operated by Pei Qing, and behind Pei Qing was a power related to her father's old department. It began to surface, and Pei Qing made arrangements for it early.

After a few breaths, Lin Aoxue came back to her senses. She breathed out a foul breath and stood up. She asked Ying Er to find her first, exchanged clothes with Ying Er, and let Ying Er stay in the tent to wait for Ying Er. Si came to report the progress of the investigation, and told Ying Er that if something happened to Ying Er, he would try to find her at Fuyun Village.

After getting everything in order, Lin Aoxue left the barracks behind Xue Guan.

Lin Aoxue buried her head and turned into a soldier behind Xue Guan. Not many people in the barracks had seen Lin Aoxue's appearance, and they all judged from Lin Aoxue's general uniform and the scar on her right face whether this person was their general At this time, Lin Aoxue changed into an ordinary soldier's uniform, walking behind Xue Guan was unremarkable at all, passed several checkpoints in a row, and no one recognized Lin Aoxue's identity.

Xue Guan led Lin Aoxue out of the barracks smoothly, and then the two of them hid in the dark and took off their military uniforms. Someone came to hand over in secret. They changed into ordinary coarse clothes and wore bamboo hats to cover their faces. go in.

Xue Guan led Lin Aoxue all the way into the firewood house in the backyard of Fuyun Manor, and found a secret passage in the firewood house. Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart. It seemed that she was too shallow. There was a secret passage in Yunyan House, and there was also a secret passage behind Fuyun Manor. She said that she was the only one who was stupid enough not to have made such preparations.

She thought in her heart that when she would build a secret passage like this in the barracks, she wouldn't need to be careful every time she left the barracks, changing her clothes back and forth.

She followed Xue Guan into the secret passage, walked along the dark secret passage for about a stick of incense, and at the end of the secret passage, Xue Guan pushed away the stone slabs that sealed the entrance of the secret passage, and led Lin Aoxue away. go out.

Outside the secret passage is a clean courtyard. They are located on the water, with their backs against a rockery. As soon as Xue Guan walked out, hidden guards appeared on both sides, and they pressed sharp daggers on Xue Guan's throat until Xue Guan showed his waist badge, and the two hidden guards put away their daggers and pushed them away.

Lin Aoxue also received the same treatment when she walked out of the secret passage. Xue Guan asked her to take out today's jade token. Seeing that Lin Aoxue was holding the jade token in her hand, the hidden guards were startled, their pupils constricted, and they took two steps back. Kneeling down on one knee respectfully, he called out to the Lord.

Lin Aoxue was not without shock. Judging from what she saw and felt, the power behind Pei Qing should be far greater than that owned by Yun Yan. After all, Yun Yan was always constrained by her work for Bei Chenhe, unable to fully use her hands and feet, but Pei Qing was not. .

Pei Qing is the son of Lin Aoxue's father, Ning Yiyun's old department. Behind him, there were originally forces loyal to Ning Yiyun backing him. In the following years, Pei Qing has been committed to developing these forces. With the prince's ostracism, the power behind Pei Qing naturally grew bigger and stronger.

Compared with the eleven shadow guards in Yunyan's hands, there must be no less than a thousand people behind Pei Qing, and in the Xingbei barracks, it is unknown how many people are loyal to Pei Qing.

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, Pei Qing handed over this jade card to her so that she could use these soldiers and horses, it was another kindness that could not be repaid easily.

Lin Aoxue kept Pei Qing's great righteousness in mind. Pei Qing inherited the magnanimity and loyalty of his fathers. He was magnanimous and loyal to the people. In his heart, the most important thing was never who sat on the throne or who led the army, but the people of Beichen Whether to live and work in peace and contentment.

He was willing to support Lin Aoxue, perhaps because of Ning Yiyun's face, he was willing to give Lin Aoxue a chance, but in the few months after Lin Aoxue took the general position, he witnessed Lin Aoxue's efforts for the people of Xingbeiguan , if there were no strategies for benefiting the people, Lin Aoxue would not have come here today.

Lin Aoxue was naturally transparent in her heart, so she secretly made up her mind to live up to Pei Qing's trust.

After the dark guards retreated to the two sides, Xue Guan led Lin Aoxue to continue forward, and walked around behind the rockery. In his eyes, he saw a magnificent manor with a strong aroma of wine permeating the garden.They walked out along a narrow bridge over the water, Xue Guan explained to Lin Aoxue as they walked:

"General, this is the winery on the southern outskirts of Xingbeiguan. The wine in Fuyunzhuang is sent out from here. This place is also the stronghold of General Pei and the former Ministry of Zhen Guogong. When the general received the Qingyu Order From now on, General, you are the master of this Zhuangzi."

Lin Aoxue's eyes flickered with a gloomy light. She frowned and looked at the Yuli pavilion in the distance, and asked in a deep voice:

"What kind of people are there in Zhuangzi, and how many troops are there?"

Xue Guanzhi said everything:

"Returning to the general, there are [-] private soldiers in the winery, all of whom are soldiers under the Duke of Zhen. Zhuangzi's housekeeper is Xue Renyi, an uncle of his subordinates, and the former subordinate of the Duke of Zhen. Everyone in the village calls him Mr. Third Uncle, if the general needs anything, he can speak to Third Uncle."

As he said, the pontoon bridge had come to an end. A middle-aged man stood on the shore and bowed deeply in the direction of Lin Aoxue. He had gray hair but was in good spirits. His eyes were very similar to Xue Guan's. There is no doubt that the two are blood relatives.

"General Lin."

Xue Renyi obviously knew Lin Aoxue, and when Lin Aoxue approached, he called out respectfully.

Lin Aoxue took two quick steps, put both hands on Xue Renyi's arm, and lifted him up:

"Senior Xue, you don't need to be too polite."

Lin Aoxue didn't know if Pei Qing revealed her identity to the old subordinates, but she called Xue Renyi a senior, it was only natural.

Xue Renyi raised his body and looked at Lin Aoxue. When Lin Aoxue came from the bridge just now, he was secretly observing Lin Aoxue.

He has always been curious about what kind of person General Lin is that Pei Qing often talks about. He only knows from Pei Qing that Lin Aoxue is a new general that he can trust. He didn't ask, but in the past few months, he also learned about the various military orders issued by Lin Aoxue for the benefit of the people of Xingbeiguan, and he really admired them in his heart.

Looking at it right now, Lin Aoxue is really handsome, she looks thin and small, but she has the iron-blooded spirit of a soldier who has gone through life and death, and she is young, and she has not shown impetuosity and frivolity after taking the position of general. Xue Renyi couldn't help nodding in his heart with a calm and calm air of a general.

When Lin Aoxue came down from the bridge and took the initiative to help him up, the moment he raised his head, he looked at Lin Aoxue. He found a familiar feeling from Lin Aoxue, but this feeling was fleeting, and when he wanted to distinguish it carefully, it disappeared again.

Xue Renyi let go of his doubts, nodded and smiled at Lin Aoxue, and then said straightforwardly without beating around the bush:

"General Lin, Xue has been waiting here for a long time. Xue has received a report about General Pei's disappearance, and now he has sent people to track it down. As long as General Pei is not killed on the spot, he will leave a mark wherever he goes. It won’t be long before news comes back.”

Lin Aoxue let go of the stone hanging in her heart when she heard Xue Renyi's words. She let out a long breath and sighed:

"General Pei has already made such a complete arrangement, but I don't know what else the junior can help with?"

Lin Aoxue's demeanor was humble, and she didn't show any arrogance just because she was a general of Xingbei Guanzhong Army. Xue Renyi admired her character, and when she asked her, he replied:

"Xue has always been in charge of the interrogation of Zheng Bai and Wei Yi. Once there is news, Xue will pass it on to General Pei. Now General Pei has no time for himself and has transferred the power of the village to General Lin. As for the progress and results of the interrogation, Xue reported it directly to General Lin."

When Lin Aoxue heard this, she was very emotional. Her father's old department had been hiding in the dark all these years. While avoiding the emperor and the clan's princes, avoiding exposure of their identities, they also developed and expanded in secret. They have already formed their own set of operations. Way.

Even for such an important person as Pei Qing, if something happens in the middle, it will not affect the forces behind him. How to proceed will continue according to the original rhythm, and the disappearance of one of them will not affect the whole situation. deal a serious blow.

Presumably, even if Lin Aoxue hadn't come to take over these important tasks today, Xue Renyi would have been able to lead the overall situation immediately, continue to operate the entire winery, continue to receive information from all over the northern border in an orderly manner, and at the same time try to rescue Pei Qing.

Lin Aoxue nodded, followed Xue Renyi's words and asked:

"What did you ask?"

Xue Renyi nodded, and led Lin Aoxue into a small pavilion with Xue Guan on the left and right. There was a charcoal stove in the pavilion and screens were erected on all sides, so it was still warm inside.After Lin Aoxue walked in, Xue Renyi asked Lin Aoxue to sit down at the main seat, and then continued what he had just said:

"General Pei asked us to interrogate Zheng Bo and tell what he did in the army. This Zheng Bo is a tough guy, and he refused to confess at all at the beginning. For this reason, Xue used some means. Under severe torture, Zheng Bo Bai also had no choice but to let go in the end."

"He confessed the details of Xuanhe's placement in the army one by one. Xue recorded it in the record, and he has briefly checked it. It should be correct."

As he spoke, he took out two folded letter papers from his cuffs and handed them to Lin Aoxue with both hands.

Lin Aoxue took it and unfolded it. Seeing that there were more than a hundred names densely recorded on these two sheets of paper, and their respective official positions were also marked. Everyone is there.

Lin Aoxue raised the corners of her lips, and a stern light flashed in her eyes. Xuanhe's ability should not be underestimated. Don't look at the hundreds of names on these two pieces of paper. These people are all Xuanhe's confidantes. Under the eyes of a suspicious person, Xuanhe's ability to insert so many people for his use is evident.

Although there are more than a hundred people, they are hidden in the barracks. If something happens, the disaster that can be caused is beyond Lin Aoxue's imagination. Leaving aside the dozens of soldiers below the county lieutenant, Li Qun is still on the list above the county lieutenant. There are more than [-] people, accounting for [-]% of the generals above Xingbei Guannei County.

This means that as soon as Xuanhe opened his mouth, he could mobilize about [-]% of the soldiers and horses in Xingbei Pass.

This number gave Lin Aoxue a chill. If it wasn't for Pei Qing's great help, how could Lin Aoxue have the opportunity to get such a complete list?

She pursed her lips and sighed, then raised her head and asked:

"Besides, for Yuan Fang's poisoning, can Zheng Bo give a detailed explanation?"

Xue Renyi nodded and replied after hearing the words:

"Yes, Zheng Bai said that he poisoned three people in the army, namely Yu Jingshan, Wu Nanshi and Lu Sheng."

"Although there are only these three poisoned people in the army so far, this is not the first time Zheng Bo has done this. Nearly half of the people on this list were restrained by Zheng Bo in this way, so as to get Their tricks forced them to pledge allegiance to Xuanhe."

"Except for these people on the list, there are still many people who have been secretly recruited by Zheng Bo, but they would rather die than surrender, or refuse to follow Xuanhe for some other reason, so Xuanhe used his strength in the army to send These guys cleaned up with different means."

Xue Renyi spoke calmly, but Lin Aoxue understood the bloody storm hidden behind his words.

People like Xuanhe, once it is confirmed that they cannot be used by him, they will be eliminated immediately. Of the more than a hundred people recorded on this list, excluding the people he brought into Xingbei Pass at the beginning, there must be more than half of them. , it was later that he secretly wooed her.

What is recorded on the paper is only those who Xuanhe tried to win over and successfully subdued, and those who did not succumb to Xuanhe, there are probably even more people. As for their fate, Lin Aoxue is not difficult to imagine. Reasons let it fend for itself, and the battlefield is the best place to eliminate disasters.

Lin Aoxue didn't know how many of the soldiers who died unknowingly when the barbarians attacked Xingbei Pass these years were murdered by Xuanhe.

Her heart was very heavy, and she felt pity for those who couldn't resist their own fate and were manipulated by superiors like Xuan He and Bei Chenlong, they were really pitiful.

"As for the reason why Zheng Bai poisoned Lu Sheng, General Lin must have already had some calculations in his mind, but Yu Jingshan and Wu Nanshi are an additional reason. The reason why Yu Jingshan and Zheng Bai got close is because Yu Jingshan was originally a Xuanhe's confidant."

When Lin Aoxue heard this, she didn't feel much surprise.Before that, when Yingsan talked to her about the relationship between Yu Jingshan and Zheng Bai, she had a faint premonition in her heart, but she heard a clearer and more accurate answer from Xue Renyi, which confirmed her guess.

"Yu Jingshan has been in Xingbeiguan for many years. After countless battles, he has become indifferent to life and death, and is unwilling to continue to participate in the battle. Especially after the death of Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng, Yu Jingshan became more and more tired of the conspiracy of the superiors. I want to get out of the vortex."

"Xuan He will naturally not let a person who knows many of his secrets get away safely, but Yu Jingshan, from the official to the general, also has some say in the army, so he can't just clean it up like ordinary soldiers. I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Yu Jingshan, but Yu Jingshan was so fateful that he went to the battlefield several times and was even attacked by hidden guards, but he still survived."

"Zheng Bai thought about the old friendship with Yu Jingshan, and persuaded Yu Jingshan many times, hoping that he would change his mind and continue to surrender to Xuanhe, but Yu Jingshan was determined to break away from Xuanhe's control, and ignored Zheng Bai's sincerity. After several times of persuasion to no avail, he poisoned Yu Jingshan, trying to force Yu Jingshan to submit in this way."

Xue Renyi's voice was very calm, and he downplayed the ups and downs of the fight.

"But even so, Yu Jingshan still didn't change his mind. He knew that his time was short, but he didn't want to favor anyone. He just wanted to bring the secret into the loess by himself."

When Lin Aoxue heard this, she suddenly snorted coldly, and a cold light appeared in her eyes:

"It turned out to be so, why did Yu Jingshan go to find General Pei today and bring him into the Misty Rain Tower?"

If Yu Jingshan really wanted to draw a clear line with Xuanhe, even disregarding his own life, wouldn't his actions today be contrary to his beliefs?

Lin Aoxue felt ridiculous about this, the facts were in front of her eyes, even though she knew in her heart that maybe Yu Jingshan was forced to do so, but since Yu Jingshan had obeyed Xuan He, then he used epiphany as an excuse to get out of the turbulent current, he was deceiving himself and others, foolishly dreaming.

Lin Aoxue didn't know whether the Yu Jingshan that Zheng Bai said was really as noble as he thought, but at least from her point of view, Yu Jingshan was a shameless villain who wanted to set up a memorial arch after being a bitch. The experience sounds a little pitiful, but a poor person must have something to hate.

Knowing that Xuan He would harm Pei Qing, he kept saying that he would not do anything for Xuan He and wanted to draw a clear line with Xuan He, but he still led Pei Qing to the Yanyu Tower, and he had already been pressed in Lin Aoxue's heart A crime that cannot be cleared.

It's a pity that Pei Qing doesn't know Yu Jingshan's true face, if these news can be sent to the barracks earlier for Pei Qing to know, Pei Qing will not leave with Yu Jingshan today!

Xue Renyi also let out a sigh. In fact, he also found this matter very strange. At least judging from Zheng Bai's frank words, Yu Jingshan really made up his mind, and he didn't care about his old friends at all. As for today, Yu Jingshan will lead Pei Qing The reason for going to see Xuanhe is unknown at the moment, but Xuanhe must have done something about it.

"Besides Yu Jingshan, another poisoned person in the army, Wu Nanshi, is the steward of the dossier department. This year, he was promoted by Bei Chenlong to be the military governor, but he has no real power. Xuanhe knows that this person has an old relationship with Master Hongming, so he wants to win him over, win him over. If it doesn’t work, there will be a heart of evil.”

Xue Renyi had already explained to Lin Aoxue the reason why the three of Lu Sheng were poisoned. Lin Aoxue groaned inwardly. Although the detailed work list was in her hands, she and Xuan He hadn't completely fallen out yet. After thinking about it for a while, she decided that she and Yunyan would work together to drive a wedge between Xuan He and Bei Chenhe, and then remove those people who secretly worked for Xuan He one by one.

Lin Aoxue hid the two lists in her sleeves, and asked Xue Renyi about some things in the village. Xue Renyi answered them one by one. About half an hour later, a falcon circled down from the sky and landed on the gazebo on the nearby dwarf tree.

Xue Renyi walked over, took off the bamboo tube on his legs and feet, and poured out a piece of information hidden inside. Instead of opening it himself, he handed it over to Lin Aoxue, signaling Lin Aoxue to take a look first.

Lin Aoxue's face was solemn, Xue Renyi's move was tantamount to respecting Lin Aoxue as the master, and was showing his loyalty to Lin Aoxue.Lin Aoxue didn't dare to be negligent, took the note with both hands, spread it out in her hands, and then, she read out what was written on the note:

"The trace of green has appeared, a small and medium-sized temple in Quyang Mountain."

Xue Renyi showed a smile on his face, and said to Lin Aoxue:

"Is General Lin going to rescue people with me, or is he staying in the village?"

Lin Aoxue handed the note to Xue Renyi, shook her head helplessly, and said:

"I can't reveal my identity in front of Xuanhe for some reason, so I can only ask Senior Xue to make arrangements for this matter."

Xue Renyi was not displeased by Lin Aoxue's non-participation in the rescue, he readily said hello, and then turned to tell Xue Guan:

"Choose a hundred experts from the village and go to Quyang Mountain to save people."

Xue Guan, who had been standing by the side all this time, immediately answered loudly "Yes", and then trotted to complete the task Xue Renyi had explained.After Xue Guan walked away, Xue Renyi turned his head to look at Lin Aoxue, smiled at her, and said:

"General Lin, you don't have to be cautious, you can call Xue a third uncle just like the people in the village."

Lin Aoxue raised her eyes to look at Xue Renyi when she heard the words, with a smile on her face, she nodded, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and said:

"Since that's the case, third uncle doesn't have to call junior general, please call junior by his first name."

Hearing this, Xue Renyi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and let go of his restraint.

The author has something to say: Well, the second half of today’s chapter has been rushed out, and tomorrow is finally a holiday, oh yeah, anyway, the tailbone hurts and I can’t go anywhere, so I can code at home with peace of mind_(:з」∠)_
