The sky is high and the night is dark, and the three or two stars are exceptionally clear and bright.
Bonfires were lit in the garrison camp. People came and went to make soup and cakes in front of the stone stove, and then sat back to eat in front of the bonfire.
The smell of fireworks, the smell of a group of rough men, the smell of food, and the smell of horses, mounts or livestock are all mixed together, and it really doesn't smell very good.
A woman walking among the bonfires made a group of men look at her with suspicion, and even started laughing and whispering some unpleasant words to each other.
The woman is wearing a cloak, her hat is hanging on her back, she has flaming red lips, and her face is delicate. She is truly as beautiful as a flower, and a gorgeous flower. Her bright eyes are full of frivolity, and she looks like that comparison.
Easy to hook up with.
The woman is none other than Dayesi's current leader, Lan Xuan.
Accompanying her and pacing with her hands behind her back was Mi Yunzhong, the governor-general of the foreign affairs, and the garrison commander accompanying her...
Not far away, a eunuch came quickly with a large cloak on his arm. He followed Mi Yunzhong's steps and carefully put it on him. At the same time, he said, "Duke, it's getting a little cold."
Mi Yunzhong raised his hand slightly to signal him to step back. He moved his ears slightly and stared at the whispering soldiers. He knew that he could hear the whispers, and Xiang Lanxuan must have heard them too. He immediately comforted: "Everyone is talking."
They are some lowly rough guys who are used to talking nonsense behind their backs, so don’t be like them, Daxingxing.”
Upon hearing this, the accompanying commander immediately changed his expression, and was about to call someone to give orders to restrain the people below. Unexpectedly, he smiled at Lan Xuan and said: "It's okay, it means that I am beautiful, good-looking, and charming. Today
Let them feast their eyes."
It looked like they couldn't get me anyway.
Seeing that she was enjoying herself and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight, the commander had no choice but to shut up, but muttered in his heart that it had nothing to do with whether she was beautiful or not, as long as she was a female, it would be the same.
Mi Yunzhong chuckled. As a eunuch, he didn't like to openly talk about women's beauty, so he changed the topic, "Da Zhongxing came in person. Could it be that he was standing in front of 'Your Excellency'?"
The "adult" he calls refers to the Earth Master. There are many people here, so it is taboo to talk about it.
The accompanying commander also understood immediately. Who else could be the "adult" who could make this great leader of the Dayes Division come to the front station in person?
Xiang Lanxuan shook his head slightly, "I don't know whether 'Your Excellency' will come. If there is nothing that 'Your Excellency' is interested in, this thousand-year-old sect in Kunling Mountain may not be able to have such a big reputation. I am here to talk to 'Your Excellency'
'It doesn't matter. After all, this grand event is within the territory of Yin State. After all, it is held on the territory of Daye Division. It is impossible for Daye Division to ignore it."
Mi Yunzhong nodded in agreement, "That's natural."
The commander accompanying him listened quietly, with only his ears and no mouth.
Xiang Lanxuan continued: "After all, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, enough for many new people to grow up. I wonder if there are any talented people. Daye Division also needs to add and recruit new people. I came here to pick and choose, and I can't give others the advantage.
Bar."
Mi Yunzhong nodded again, "That's natural."
In fact, this is also one of the purposes of the "Chaoyang Conference". Newcomers need to use the platform to make a name for themselves so that they can earn a good salary. All parties also need to use the platform of the conference to recruit people, including the military and those who can afford it.
of wealthy families.
"The other thing I hope is that the conference goes smoothly. After all, it is a grand event on our ground. If it crashes, everyone will look bad. Our Daye Division has to keep an eye on it. We don't want to take care of it. But if it's our Daye Division's turn,
I, the Daye Division, cannot be vague about accepting the offer. I heard that the Governor came in person to take care of this matter. You have many eyes and ears, and you must have an idea of what the situation will be like, so I came here to find out what happened to the Governor. If anything happens, we can communicate with each other.
Learn from each other’s strengths, what do you think?”
Mi Yunzhong immediately laughed and said: "I am naturally very happy to have Da Xingxing personally come to take charge. Don't worry, Da Xingxing, I will communicate with you in time if anything happens."
Xiang Lanxuan also chuckled.
At this moment, the deputy general in charge of foreign affairs ran over quickly, followed the commander and reported: "Commander, something is wrong, Cao Wei is missing."
"Gone?" The commander stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you mean missing?"
Mi Yunzhong, who knew something about it, stopped when he heard this and turned his head slightly to look.
They all stopped, and Xiang Lanxuan naturally also stopped to look and listen, wondering what could attract the attention of the foreign governor.
The lieutenant general said: "After receiving the letter, the people in the mountains opened their pockets and waited. Unexpectedly, when it got dark, Cao Wei did not lead anyone there. They felt something was wrong, so they sent someone to look over. The result was:
No one could see Cao Wei on the road, so he sent someone to report it. But the secret sentry in our town saw with his own eyes that Cao Wei had brought people there. Commander, there is a high probability that something happened."
The commander said in a deep voice: "Looking for it, send more people to look for it."
The deputy general said: "I have ordered someone to look for him."
Commander: "Be prepared if you can't find them. Find people who have seen the appearance of the three people. If you can't find them, immediately draw their pictures and spread nets everywhere to capture them."
The lieutenant general said: "I have brought back the secret whistle who has seen the appearance of the three of them. I am asking him to describe them orally while the painter is already drawing the portraits."
Mi Yunzhong suddenly answered: "I have a carving master brought here from the palace. The portrait has been painted, and you can bring it over."
The commander hurriedly praised: "The Governor Mingjian, it is best if we can engrave the engraving immediately. If the portrait can be printed, it will be faster." He turned around and waved to the deputy general and scolded, "What are you waiting for? Let's get it done quickly."
"Yes." The deputy general quickly accepted the order and left.
After they finished their explanation, they asked Lan Xuan with concern: "Duke, what happened?"
Mi Yunzhong extended his hand politely, indicating that he should continue walking. As he walked, he slowly told the story of fishing and arresting people with evil intentions who were trying to sneak into the "Chaoyang Conference".
This was also one of the things that Xiang Lanxuan was concerned about here. She nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed a good idea. Have you caught it before?"
The commander hurriedly replied, "More than ten people have been arrested and their identities are being verified."
Xiang Lanxuan said to Mi Yunzhong again: "Duke, let my people try again?"
Mi Yunzhong smiled and said: "It's better to be more rigorous. If we don't do it right, we can make up for it in time."
He insisted on saying this, and Xiang Lanxuan was not polite. After all, the situation grasped by the two sides may still be somewhat different. She asked the commander again, "Your method is not bad, and the plan is thorough. Logically speaking, there should be no mistakes. The previous arrests
Was there any accident during the arrest?"
The commander hesitated for a moment, "No, everything went smoothly before. I don't know what happened this time, but something unexpected happened."
Xiang Lanxuan looked thoughtful, then smiled again, "Accidents? I like accidents the most. People who can give people surprises must have a reason. They are either cunning, capable, or simple.
It was an accident, or there was something wrong within us."
Mi Yunzhong hesitated and said: "Da Xingxing suspects that someone among us has leaked the news?"
Xiang Lanxuan: "I'm just saying it's possible. As the Governor said, to fix leaks, accidents can best reflect problems. If there are any internal problems, you can find them naturally if you catch the person. If there are any problems, it is a good thing to expose them in time.
What do you think?"
Mi Yunzhong nodded slightly, knowing what the other party meant. If there was really an internal loophole or a traitor, then it would be really easy for big problems to arise, and it would not be as simple as a few suspects. Then he said with a determined expression: "I want to see if they can
Get away from me!"
The conversation stopped here, and the three of them continued to tour the night view of the army.
Without waiting too long, the deputy general hurried over again, taking the portrait of the suspect painted by the artist and handing it to the commander.
After the commander looked at the bonfire one by one and confirmed that it was clear and unblemished, he folded it together and presented it to Mi Yunzhong with both hands.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Lanxuan on the side said: "Wait a minute."
Mi Yunzhong, who was about to reach out to take the painting, and the commander who handed the painting, including the deputy general, were stunned. They all turned to look at her, wondering what this woman meant.
Mi Yunzhong was puzzled. He was so confused now that he didn't know whether he should accept the portrait or not, and asked: "Is there something wrong?"
Xiang Lanxuan, who had an obvious look of doubt on her face, stretched out her hand to grab the portrait. She spread it out and said, "I just took a glance at it and didn't see it clearly. Let's take another look."
Several people on the side were speechless. Could it be that one of them didn't see clearly what all the fuss was about? The commander and the deputy general couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that this woman didn't behave like a big shot.
Who else could the portraits be? Of course they were those of Yu Qing, Nan Zhu and Mu Aoti. The paintings were just a rough look. It was a question of how similar the portraits were from the oral description.
Xiang Lanxuan tilted her head and stared at it for a while, then raised her eyes and stared at the deputy general, "What are the physical characteristics of these three people?"
The lieutenant general hesitated and said: "It seems that there are fat and thin people, and the one with a fat face is a fat person."
Nonsense! Xiang Lanxuan couldn't explain clearly when she saw him, "Is there anyone who has seen the suspect? Bring him to see me."
The deputy general looked at the commander's intention, then accepted the order and ran away quickly.
At this time, Mi Yunzhong saw something was wrong and tried to ask: "Does Da Xingxing know these three people?"
Xiang Lanxuan was also a little puzzled, "I'm not sure if I know them. Logically speaking, if they are really them, they should be unable to hide. How dare they come to the Chaoyang Conference to join in the fun?"
Mi Yunzhong asked more, "Who is it?"
But he didn't get a reply from the other party, but he also knew in his mind that the person who could be remembered by the Dayesi Daxing might not be that simple. In that case, it seemed that it was not difficult to understand that he could escape from the open network port.
Not long after, a secret whistle was brought back to the camp to describe the suspect's appearance.
Xiang Lanxuan didn't bother to bother with the red tape. She directly showed the portrait, pointed at the first Nanzhu and asked, "Is this big fat man about the same height as your commander?"
The visitor looked at the commander's size, nodded and said, "Yes, it's about the same."
Pulling out the second picture, Xiang Lanxuan asked again: "Is this a big guy with no expression on his face?"
There is only a head in the portrait, not a figure.
The visitor was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, he is a big man, and there is really no expression on his face."
Xiang Lanxuan immediately pulled out a third picture, "Doesn't this mustache look a bit obscene?"
This kind of portrait failed to capture the feeling she was talking about.
But the person who came nodded again and again, "Yes, he looks quite young for his age. It's rare for people to have that kind of beard. It looks a bit weird."
"Haha." Xiang Lanxuan was so happy that the flowers trembled for a while, and then she tore up the painting in public, rolled it into a ball, and threw it directly into the bonfire.
Seeing the hard-working portrait turn into flames, everyone present looked stunned. Mi Yunzhong pointed at the burning portrait and frowned: "What does Da Xing mean?"
Xiang Lanxuan reached out and pressed down his hand, sighing: "Oh, I didn't expect these three bullshit guys to come. It's not a surprise that they ran away. Forget it, I'm just here to save you trouble, everyone.
It can save some trouble. In short, there is no need to arrest these three people. If you arrest them, you don't dare to do anything to them. If you invite them back, you have to let them go. There is no need to mobilize troops. Okay, since these three people are here, leave them to me to deal with.
