Before that, Yan Qing still trusted the ANBU intelligence information until he met Yan Zhongqi.

Looking at his previous expression of being bored even if he looked at him more than once, it didn't look like the behavior of a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

I have never met him, let alone provoked him, so how could I arouse his disgust?

Yan Qing couldn't figure it out, but at least this man didn't just throw up his sleeves and leave, and he could still talk.

This is enough.

As for his inexplicable hostility, Yan Qing didn't bother to explore it.

There are enough things that she needs to dig into, and there is really no need to distract her energy and manpower with unimportant things.

Yan Qing thought like this and asked one more question: "General Yan, who do you think may have done this?"

Yan Zhongqi lowered his eyelashes, lowered his eyes like willow leaves, and slightly raised the ends of his eyes with a sharp expression: "Evidence."

Yan Qing pursed her lips, looked into Yan Zhongqi's cold eyes, was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "There is no evidence."

"Without evidence, it's just spreading rumors to cause trouble."

Yan Zhongqi sneered, "If you want to sow trouble, such an excuse is too despicable."

"Why should I sow discord between the general and his colleagues?"

Yan Qing also turned his eyes coldly, with sharp eyebrows, "If General Qin is not old and the Snowy People are ready to take action, and the North cannot be left unattended, why would I have to do such a thankless task despite the general's cynicism?"

"Young general, do you want to resign and return to your hometown just to fulfill your filial piety?"

Yan Zhongqi remained cold, but his words were full of ridicule and questioning, "Although the Northland is not as good as the Western Xinjiang, it is also a place where troops are hoarded. Who knows what you have in mind?"

Hearing this, Yan Qing suddenly smiled, with the corners of his lips slightly curved, and his eyes like the stars at night: "This is not something that the general needs to worry about. Qing Bucai, before rushing to the North, he had just moved to Jingcheng, Mocheng, and the North.

Defense envoy. If it had not been for the fact that the general was killed and there was no successor in the north, and that the roads in the north would be closed after the heavy snow, the Qing Dynasty should have rushed to Yangcheng first, and the Northern Marquis of Tongzhen would have taken office."

As he spoke, Yan Qing's eyes became more sarcastic, "I never thought that Qing would risk offending the Marquis of Zhenbei by delaying his appointment and rushing to the north to inform the general of the danger, but the general was instigated by a power-seeking instigation."

Suspicion. How can you blame me?"

Yan Qing's words finally made Yan Zhongqi's unchanging cold face waver, and he was slightly surprised by Yan Qing's promotion to the defense envoy of the three places.

I saw her cold and stern face again, and the coexistence of sarcasm and coldness in her phoenix eyes, which was very similar to the eyes that my sister looked at when he gave up on himself after his father passed away.

The cold questioning, with disappointment and hidden grievance, finally made Yan Zhongqi's heart as cold as stone, and he felt a little guilty and unbearable.

Because of this, he couldn't bear the guilt. When Yan Zhongqi looked at Yan Qing again, he felt that she was not so similar to Yan Kangming. The discomfort hidden in his heart was a little less, and even the words he spoke were a little softer: "

If there is no evidence, we should not make random suspicions, which can easily disrupt the morale of the military."

Yan Qing has been in the army for nearly seven years, so he certainly knows these principles.

"If there is evidence and we know who the person behind it is, the Qing Dynasty will definitely arrest the person."

Although Yan Zhongqi's tone sounded a little softer, Yan Qing had no intention of exposing the matter just like that. His words were reasonable but tinged, "I will never annoy the general here at this time."

, don’t be too talkative to ask such a question.”

Yan Zhongqi, who had always been the only one to silence others, was either speechless or extremely angry. This was the first time that he was silenced and unable to argue.

Because of this, the discomfort that had just subsided a bit in his heart not only returned but now increased even more.

They, father and daughter, were probably here to cause trouble for him.

"Then do you have any clues?"

Yan Zhongqi changed the topic and said in a cold tone, "Since you can tell that person's detailed plan in the letter, you must have someone suspicious in your mind. Who is it?"

Yan Qing glanced at Yan Zhongqi, then turned away, somewhat unreasonable: "No."

"No?"

Yan Zhongqi lowered his eyelids and chased Yan Qing's eyes with unkind eyes, "Then how did you learn about the other party's detailed plan? Before the other party took action, he was so kind as to give you a roundabout reminder to save my life and sell you a favor?

"

Yan Qing's heart was filled with confusion.

How did she know?

In her previous life, she thought his death was strange and she had to inquire about it from various sources!

But can she say this directly?

cannot.

As Yan Zhongqi was guarding her as if he were a formidable enemy, not only could her words not win his trust, he might even think of her as a lunatic talking nonsense.

However, this is also quite reasonable.

"After the list and route of the Northland patrol are drawn up, they will be filed with the government. There are many people who have access to this information, and the other party has not designated anyone to do this."

Yan Qing answered calmly, "It is now the beginning of February. Considering that the mountains are closed by heavy snow, the patrol road is not easy to walk, so the patrol team will set off at the end of February and complete the border patrol by the beginning of April and return to the North. So now,

The inspection list and route have been decided, am I right?"

"right."

Yan Zhongqi nodded, looked at Yan Qing leisurely, and waited patiently for her next words, which seemed to mean "it depends on how you want to make it up".

This attitude made Yan Qing unhappy, but she was relieved that the man did not turn away and leave. At the same time, she once again doubted the ANBU's intelligence.

Yan Zhongqi, according to the information, apart from his tendency to put on a cold face at any time and place, what else does the information say about treating others in a measured manner, being friendly and courteous?

He is clearly a porcupine with thorns all over his body, and he pricks everyone he sees!

Yan Qing suppressed his emotions and kept his expression unchanged as he continued: "The last section of the border patrol, from Langkou Pass to the past, is full of snow-capped mountains and deep valleys. The climate in late spring and early summer is here in the North, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

This is when the snow on the mountain is prone to collapse. Once you enter a deep valley and encounter an avalanche, there is no place to run even if you run away. Isn’t this a good time and place to kill someone?”

"so what?"

Yan Zhongqi asked again, "The snow-capped mountains behind Langkou Pass are prone to avalanches, but they can also easily become a place for hiding soldiers in the snow. Since we are on patrol, it is absolutely impossible to bypass this place."

"And, as you said, it was a time when avalanches were easy to occur. It was even more difficult to get up to the snow-capped mountains. And if he wanted to set up an ambush in the middle of the mountain, wouldn't he be afraid that he would also lose his life?"

"General, you know that there is a kind of person in this world called a dead man."

Yan Qing stared, "Since he is a dead soldier, he has already risked life and death. Besides, the general and his party should have dozens or hundreds of people at least. If one of his lives is exchanged for hundreds of lives, I'm afraid it will be worth it."
