Longxi, Longzhou City

Yuwen Xingchen, the eldest grandson of the Yuwen family and the governor of Longxi Road, was sitting in his mansion quietly listening to music. There was a young maid in the house who was gently strumming the strings of the piano, and the moving music sounded under her slender fingers.

Nowadays, among the younger generation of major aristocratic families in the Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Xingchen should be at the top of the list in terms of official positions. When the Taoist government of the world was just divided, he was awarded the post of economic envoy, and was undoubtedly a feudal official. In contrast, he was

, Xue Leihan is now only the deputy economic envoy of Liaodong, and the Zhao family and the Shangguan family are not the younger generation who can do anything.

Even though Yuwen Xingchen got such a high position because of his family background, it is undeniable that the talents of this Yuwen patriarch and grandson are beyond the reach of ordinary people just because of the prosperous scene in Longxi in the past two years.

"Hmph, hum hum~"

Yuwen Xingchen closed his eyes slightly and hummed softly along with the maid's melody, which felt very comfortable.

It is said that Yuwen Xingchen's requirements for choosing a maid are very high. He must be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and must be of decent appearance, but no one has heard that he is a womanizer.

His younger brother Yu Wenhao was different. He was notoriously lecherous. He even molested Princess Liang and was slapped in public. If the identity of the Yuwen family hadn't been there, he would have been chopped into pieces long ago.

It’s time to feed the dog.

This matter is still talked about among the princes of the aristocratic families in the capital, but it is always mentioned in private as a talking point, and no one has the courage to mention it in front of Yu Wenhao.

After a while, slight footsteps sounded at the door, and a burly middle-aged man called softly:

"Star~"

Yuwen Xingchen slowly opened his eyes and chuckled: "Uncle, what's the matter?"

The person who came was none other than Dugu Xin, the governor of Longxi Province, who was also the head of the Dugu family. Because these wealthy nobles in Longxi often married each other, they were all related by blood.

For example, Dugu Xin and Yuwen Chenghua were of the same generation, so Yuwen Xingchen always called him uncle.

In terms of status, Dugu Xin has the highest official position in Longxi Road except Yuwen Xingchen.

Dugu Xin glanced at the maid playing the piano next to him and said in a deep voice: "I received two secret reports."

Yuwen Xingchen narrowed his eyes and waved his hand casually: "You go down first~"

He heard a hint of solemnity in Dugu Xin's tone, and the maid naturally bowed and retreated very wisely.

"Uncle, please sit down." Yuwen Xingchen stood up and poured a cup of tea in front of him: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Hot steam comes out of the cup, and the faint fragrance of tea floats in the air.

Dugu Xin didn't seem to be in the mood to drink tea, but spoke first: "There is news from the Southern Border Road that our people have basically been inserted into each army and are climbing up step by step. The fastest one has arrived.

General, Fifth Xinrou plans to end the war within half a year, and the good days of the rebels are over."

"Hmm~ This is good news." Yuwen Xingchen said in surprise: "But my nephew doesn't seem to have a good look on his uncle's face?"

"Here's the bad news." Dugu Xin took out a letter from his arms and said with cold eyes: "Dugu Yue, who was sent to Liaodong, lost news, and everyone in the Longkou Escort Bureau also disappeared."

"How can it be?"

Yuwen Xingchen's hand holding the teacup hung in mid-air, and his calm expression turned into a look of astonishment.

"Oh~ take a look." Dugu Xin sighed and handed the secret letter to Yuwen Xingchen.

His eyes kept scanning the letter, which was from the blood droplets still surviving in Liaodong.

As the intelligence gathering place in Liaodong, the Longkou Escort Bureau naturally needs to communicate with the outside world frequently. Many spies stationed in Liaodong will send news to the Escort Bureau.

But for a whole month, there was no news from the Longkou Escort Bureau. Those who were lucky enough to survive went to investigate and found that the entire Longkou Escort Bureau had been sealed by the government, and the people inside were completely missing, which was very strange.

Those bloody men secretly visited the local people, and what they got was that after the Chinese New Year, Yan people's spies were discovered in the Longkou Escort Bureau. They were guilty of collaborating with the enemy, so they were suppressed by the army. As for how many people were killed, it is unknown.

People know the exact numbers.

The two roads are far apart, so it was not until today that this secret letter was delivered to Longxi.

"Suppress the Yan people's spies?"

Yuwen Xingchen snorted coldly: "It seems that Duguyue and the others are in danger."

Dugu Xin didn't say anything. In fact, he was sure that those people were already dead. As long as this business was discovered, they would definitely die. Why did the Liang army use the excuse of annihilating the Yan people's spies? Wasn't it just to cover up the truth?

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Dugu Yue is the grandson of a father in his clan. He was originally considered an outstanding member of the younger generation in the Dugu family, but it is a pity now.

After Yuwen Xingchen read the letter, he murmured: "This is really beyond my expectation. They even found the blood droplets."

If Yuwen Xingchen knew that the reason for the exposure was that a rich boy fell in love with Princess Liang, and sent out blood droplets to snatch the talent, but Chen Yue saw the flaw, I don't know how he would feel.

"Now that Xue Di Zi has been discovered by Liang Jun, our actions will be much more difficult in the future." Dugu Xin rubbed his brows in annoyance.

The intelligence network in Liaodong was built with great efforts, but now it has been almost uprooted by the Liang army. How can you not feel distressed?

"How is the situation in Beiliang?" Yuwen Xingchen raised his head and asked.

Dugu Xin shook his head: "It's not optimistic either. Most of the hidden piles we planted have been found, and the remaining people can only hide."

"Oh shit!"

Yuwen Xingchen made a rare outburst, and hummed with cold eyes: "This King Liang is also very capable, and he quietly made us suffer a hidden loss."

Dugu Xin raised a finger and said: "I think Beiliang may have an organization similar to the Blood Drops. Otherwise, there would be no reason to find our hidden stakes so accurately, and we wouldn't even have time to react and evacuate."

"Leave this matter to the blood droplets. Inform the remaining people in Liaodong and Beiliang not to act rashly. They should go into the dark and pick two blood-clothed envoys to take charge.

The remaining manpower must not be lost, as they will be of great use in the future."

Dugu Xin nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

Yuwen Xingchen looked a little tired and rubbed his forehead and said: "The blood drop is not the most important thing. What is important is the war in the south. If it is going to end in half a year, we won't have much time left~"

"After the victory in the counterinsurgency battle, I am afraid that the Zhao family will fall out with the Shangguan family because of this minister of the Ministry of War."

"Humph, they're just two losers." Yuwen Xingchen snorted coldly:

"But now that the war is about to end, it's time for me to plan to go to Beijing. Uncle, the people who should be sent there can be moved first~"
