After leaving the Northwest Joint Defense Battalion, Yan Qing did not immediately rush to Yangcheng to take up his post, but returned to the Qin family in the North first.

As soon as she arrived in the north, General Qin asked someone to deliver a letter saying that Mrs. Qin was seriously ill and asked her to go home and take a look if things here came to an end.

I saw old General Qin again. The old general who was still energetic and energetic that year ago was now full of white hair and looked depressed.

Seeing Yan Qing, Qin Mang's spirits improved a little, and he forced a smile on his old face: "Qing Qing is back, your grandma should be relieved now."

Looking at Old General Qin with red and swollen eyes, bloodshot eyes and a tired face, Yan Qing's heart tightened.

On the way back to Northern Xinjiang, she heard Yan Qi talk about Yan Zhongqi.

In early April, Yan Zhongqi was inspecting the northern border and encountered an avalanche while passing through the snow-capped mountains and canyons outside Langkou Pass.

There were more than a hundred people traveling with him, but no one survived.

That's the external version.

The ANBU people discovered a suspicious person at Langkou Pass. After Yan Zhongqi's team arrived at Langkou Pass, they went to the snowy mountains overnight to secretly arrange the situation, and finally captured him.

As they had expected, the other party was a dead soldier.

After being captured, he took poison and committed suicide.

Their people only had time to intercept the message he was sending out.

Now Yan Zhongqi and a group of soldiers have changed their names and surnames in disguise and settled in Jingcheng.

He only claimed that his whereabouts were unknown and his life and death were unknown.

When the snow melted, in order to prevent more people from being in danger, people could not be sent to search immediately.

It was not until the end of June and early July, during the summer season, when the snow had completely melted and the frozen soil of the ice sheet was exposed, that people dared to enter the snow-capped mountains and canyons to search for traces of Yan Zhongqi and others.

In order to deceive others, the ANBU people put the dead people who had been prepared long ago into the clothes of Yan Zhongqi and others, and buried the bodies in the snow ditch before the searchers entered the mountain.

After the snow melts, these corpses, whose body shapes are not much different from those of Yan Zhongqi and others, will be swollen and deformed by the snow, making it difficult to identify them.

But because they wanted to conceal the whereabouts of Yan Zhongqi and others, the two elders of the Qin family did not know that Yan Zhongqi was still alive.

Although life and death are unknown now, the avalanche is coming so fiercely that Yan Zhongqi and others, who are in the middle of a snow-capped mountain canyon, have no choice but to escape. The chance of survival is very small.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, it will not be easy to get out of this snowy mountain.

Now more than a month has passed since Yan Zhongqi's accident. Even if he thinks that the person may still be alive, he can't help but think about the worst possibility that the person may have been in trouble.

The second eldest son of the Qin family is already quite old.

Coupled with the unstable climate at the turn of spring and summer, the uneasy mood, and the entry of external evil into the body, Mrs. Qin became ill.

Old General Qin saw this and was anxious in his heart. In addition, there was no news at all about the people sent to look for Yan Zhongqi in private, and he suddenly became much older.

If Mrs. Yan Qin hadn't always been by Mrs. Qin's side, constantly persuading the two elders,

Fingertips ran over the ink marks on the note, Meng Shulan's eyes were cold and cold, "Send all the people under your command and search for the whereabouts of King Duan with all your strength. If you are alive, you will see the person, if you die, you will see the body. Is it an accident or someone deliberately tried to find it?"

, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

"yes."

Suiying bowed his head in agreement, but before leaving, he paused and asked, "Do you want to have a branch meeting with General Yan at this time?"

According to past practice, if such an important thing happened here, Meng Shulan would send a message to Yan Qing under previous instructions.

Meng Shulan's eyes softened, thinking about what Mu Lao said, and pursed her lips: "Keep it a secret for now. Until Prince Duan's person is found, completely block the news about this matter and keep a close eye on those spies."

Her trip to northern Xinjiang to fight for power with Guo Youning was already a laborious matter, and it would be a good thing if she could do it less.

Besides, even if she knew about this matter, there would be nothing she could do except add worry.

The situation is uncontrollable, and depending on her temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep all night again.

But with Yan Qi's ability, even if she concealed this matter, she probably wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

After pondering for a moment, Meng Shulan stopped Suiying again and changed his mind: "Send this matter to the Holy Emperor in a secret letter so that he can make preparations in advance. He may be the next one to attack."

Follow the instructions and leave.

Meng Shulan raised her eyelashes and rolled the paper into a ball. When passing by the blacksmith shop at the city gate, she threw the small paper ball into the blazing fire and strode towards the city's defense department to find Bai Shu.

After receiving the imperial edict, he did think that the other party might attack Wen Zhehan.

But I didn't expect that the other party would move so fast.

Since the emperor had noticed everything early in the morning, he would definitely have told Wen Zhehan, the branch secretary, to be careful.

Under such circumstances, Wen Zhehan was confused.

That means that the person who did this is very familiar and trusted by Wen Zhehan.

Most of the people Wen Zhehan trusted were Xu Xianfeng's people.

So, is the person behind the scenes who always hides his head and tail, the same person who is praised by both the government and the public?

Meng Shulan is unknown.

But now that we have reached this point, the person behind the scenes will finally come to the stage.

And what he has to do now, what he can do, is to take back the forces he can control before the opponent shows his claws, so that he can not be controlled by others in what may happen next.

The best thing is to get everything in order as much as possible before Ah Qing learns about it.

If I want to be with her, I can't just follow her footsteps.

Even if he was riding on the wind, he wanted to at least be able to look up at her for a moment.

A few days later, at the Northland border, outside Rocky Town, the Northwest Joint Defense Battalion.

Yan Qing returned to the Northwest Joint Defense Battalion, and under Ma Zhi'an's sarcastic remarks, he and Lin Jianghai handed over a number of military affairs, as well as pensions for fallen soldiers and other matters.

Before leaving, Yan Qing looked deeply at Ma Zhi'an, but in the end said nothing.

Ma Zhi'an was very dissatisfied with Yan Qing's attitude, and complained to Lin Jianghai: "I really thought that I had gained the emperor's trust, but I got such a broken sword that I became so arrogant! What's the result? This time I have made such a great contribution, and what's the point?

I retreated from the enemy and attacked the country, but I received no reward, and my salary was deducted for one year."

"I was really used as a swordsman, and I was so happy that I thought I had taken advantage of it!"

Ma Zhi'an glared at Yan Qing's retreating back, and smiled at Yan Qing stupidly, "This woman is a woman. She has long hair and short knowledge. She deserves to be sold for counting money! This woman should get married when she is old enough to support her husband and raise her children."

. She came to a man's military camp to mingle in public, and she didn't know anything about the men in the camp. She really felt worried for her future husband..."

"Ma Zhian!"

Lin Jianghai sternly interrupted Ma Zhian's increasingly arrogant speech and warned him in a deep voice, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that although the personnel mobilization rights of the Northwest Joint Defense Battalion belong directly to the marshals of the troops in Western Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang. But the Northwest Joint Defense Battalion
