The sunset is like fire, dyeing the western sky into golden red. The clouds are piled up and white and flawless. The wind is mixed with a moist breath, which is cool and refreshing on the body.
Outside Luoche City, from the low adobe houses, thin men walked out one by one and headed towards the trench position. Moreover, their bodies were straight, as if they had found the goal of life and were willing to do everything for it.
Say hello to people you know well, talk and laugh.
Gradually, more people gathered together, like a stream flowing into the sea, with a huge momentum. After arriving at the trench position, they spontaneously went to their respective posts, picked up weapons, and their eyes were a little more determined.
The reward of silver and extra horse meat gave everyone a sense of belonging, and more importantly, peace of mind.
In a slave country, it has become normal for the nobles to curse at will and plunder everyone's little property. No one has ever shown respect, not to mention giving silver rewards or meat. The fulfillment of Tang Jun's promise allowed everyone to see the destiny-changing
Opportunity, don’t want to give up.
The superior nobles and officials do not treat us as human beings, and no one cares whether we are Tibetans or not.
On the city wall, Qin Huaidao saw a large number of people returning, and his heart was completely relieved. Although he had already guessed, it was still a guess and could not be true. Now that the people's support can be used, as long as he persists, there is no chance of taking over Tubo.
Not long after, a large army suddenly ran over, very fast, with the roar of horse hooves. The soldiers quickly got into position and prepared to fight. The temporary troops stationed outside also entered the position one after another and were ready.
However, this army did not attack after it rushed up. Instead, it stopped near the Gonpot army stationed west of Luoche City. Several generals came up and said a few words to Gonpot. It seemed that the scene was very harmonious, but after a while
Due to the distance, Qin Huaidao couldn't see clearly, and he had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that Tenzin sent someone to persuade him to go back?
If Gongbu leads his troops back, it will affect the morale of other armies. I am afraid that something will happen to the thousand men stationed in Gongbu. Duan Zan should be prepared immediately and rush out of the city if necessary. He must pick up his own people no matter what.
return.
Not long after, Gongbu came over with a few people. The situation was not what he had predicted. Qin Huaidao looked at Gongbu calmly and asked: "General Gongbu, what's the situation?"
"Sir." Gonpo bowed solemnly, and then explained: "They led their troops to surrender, but the general did not dare to agree, so they brought them here to see you, and ask you to make a decision."
"Lead the army to surrender?" Qin Huaidao looked at the others in confusion.
One person stepped forward, bowed solemnly, and explained: "We received letters from our parents and elders, and we have wanted to come for a long time, but there was no chance. In addition, each of us had a small number of troops, so we did not dare to act rashly. After withdrawing our troops, I looked for an opportunity.
The soldiers rushed out of the camp. Unexpectedly, other people also rushed out with their troops. I thought they were sent by Tenzin to chase them, but I didn't expect that they all received letters from their elders at home and led their troops to surrender, so they came together.
Please take me in, sir."
"Please take me in, sir." Others also shouted in less proficient Tang dialect.
Qin Huaidao did not dare to agree rashly, and asked Duan Zan one by one for their names and who were the elders in the family. Then he arranged for Duan Zan to go to the side hall where the prisoners were held to inquire. After he was sure that they were correct, he was overjoyed. When he asked about the number of people, there were more than 20,000, so he directly adapted it into a temporary
Organize five armies and let them nominate a chief general named Jia Yang.
This army was stationed five miles due south of Luoxe City, next to the living area of the local people. Qin Huaidao did not send people to garrison like other temporary armies, but sent a team of people to reorganize, and several teams were combined. There were some internal
If there is chaos, they should be reorganized according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty to facilitate command and form combat effectiveness.
As a result, there were temporary troops in the four directions outside Luoxe City, with a total of about 70,000. Adding the 50,000 Duoji who were watching Tenzin, we had 120,000 on hand. This kind of behavior is tantamount to a tightrope.
If the dance goes wrong, 120,000 people will rebel, and the consequences will be serious.
However, the situation was complicated, and the Tang army had too few troops. Qin Huaidao had no choice but to use it. Fortunately, Wang Meng sent people to report. Many people came to see the rewards of silver and meat, and asked to join the army. Preliminary statistics showed that
More than six thousand people.
Qin Huaidao was so happy that he sent more than 6,000 guan of silver as a settlement fee for the newlyweds. All of them were collected and incorporated into a temporary army. This army of ordinary people was more reassuring. This was also the reason why Qin Huaidao arranged to be stationed in the east.
If something happens, you can fight out from the east.
The Tang army was very happy to expand its army. On the other side, Tenzin learned that another person had rushed out of the camp and defected to the Tang army. He was so angry that his face became gloomy and he chopped several slaves to vent his anger. Only then did he regain his composure and suddenly discovered that
There are less than 40,000 around, and these 40,000 may not be trustworthy.
"You bastard, you will never die." Tenzin scolded his mother angrily, blaming all the faults on his father-in-law. If he hadn't written a letter to take away Gongbu and Luosang, his food and grass would not have been burned, and the king's heart would have been destroyed.
If there is no chaos, no one behind will escape.
Looking at the dejected army of 40,000, Tenzin knew that he was finished. He had no food, no morale, and no trust. How could he fight this battle?
A hundred thousand troops came rushing in with high spirits, but they were already in such a state of despair after just two days. I couldn't help but think of the defeated Lun Qinling. I originally looked down on him, thinking that he had a false reputation, but I didn't expect that I would be even worse. At least Lun Qinling ran away.
Can you run?
Tenzin couldn't help but look at the Western Army stationed on the other side. There were 50,000 in total, and their morale was high. The general was Songtsen Gampo's sister-in-law. He had been to Luoche City and had surrendered to the Tang Army. Would he let him go?
A sense of sadness surged into his heart, no matter how high-spirited or ambitious he was, at this moment, Tenzin just wanted to go back to the north and live a peaceful life in his own tribe.
Thinking that the remaining 40,000 were direct lineage and composed of clansmen, and the possibility of betrayal was low, Tenzin waited for a moment, and immediately summoned officers above the captain to discuss it, and finally decided to run overnight and return to the north.
With an order, the army started and rushed north.
Dorje sent people to monitor Tenzin all the time. Knowing that there were more than 20,000 people missing, he saw that Tenzin was about to run away, so he could not be polite. He gave an order and led his army to pursue him.
On the wall of Luoche City, Qin Huaidao smiled when he saw the situation, and Tenzin had nothing to worry about.
Duan Zan was watching the craftsmanship in the workshop. He heard the noise and thought someone was about to attack, so he hurried over. He was a little surprised to see the chase, but he quickly reacted and said excitedly: "Sir, Tenzin is dead, we
We won again, my lord’s strategy of dividing and winning over was wise.”
"It's all the result of the sacrifice of the soldiers." Qin Huaidao said politely, but suddenly changed the subject and said in a low voice: "General Duan, according to the stationing situation of the Tubo army, there are 100,000 in the west, Duoji brought 50,000, and the remaining 50,000 are guarding the border.
To express his attitude, there is nothing to worry about. Tenzin brought 100,000 troops to the north of the 200,000 troops, and the remaining 100,000 troops guarded the border. It is hard to say whether they will support the troops with self-respect, but at least they know that Tenzin will not go south after his defeat, and there are three more troops to the east.
One hundred thousand, this is the biggest threat, it depends on whether Brother Xue and General Zhang Yu can stop it."
"In other words, there is no threat to the army in the west and north. How about sending a temporary army to assist? Or wait until Duoji comes back from the pursuit and let him go. This person looks relatively reliable." Duan Zan suggested.
"Let me think about it." Qin Huaidao was deep in thought when he was suddenly noticed by a burst of noise. He raised his head and looked to the east. He saw a carriage approaching slowly. There were only about ten people driving the carriage. It was a bit far away and could not be seen clearly.
The temporary army stationed in the east stopped the carriage. After some negotiation, the carriage went straight to Luoche City and was not detained. Could it be that it was one of our own?
"Did something happen to Xue Rengui and the others?" Qin Huaidao couldn't help but become nervous.
Not long after, the carriage approached, and Qin Huaidao could clearly see that the people escorting the village were the village guards. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked everyone's expressions. They were neither sad nor happy, and their expressions were calm. It didn't look like there was anything bad going on. He waited in his mind and waited for them to get closer.
He shouted loudly at the city gate: "Why are you back?"
The team leader saluted: "Young Master, Commander Xue asked us to send Lun Qinling over."
"On Qinling?"
Qin Huaidao was shocked. He asked how Qinling fell into Xue Rengui's hands. He quickly got off the city wall and rushed to the door. Just as the carriage came forward, he opened the curtain and saw that there was indeed a person lying inside. He was unconscious and his face turned pale. When he touched it,
My forehead was very hot, so I quickly asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Back to my young master, on the way to seize the city, I encountered the remnants of Lun Qinling. Commander Xue advocated an attack. An arrow hit the front leg of Lun Qinling's horse. The horse fell down and the man fell off the horse. Commander Xue captured him. The army will Lun.
The remnants of Qinling were defeated and fled in all directions. We were small and did not pursue them. Later, we pretended to open the city gate and captured the city. Commander Xue asked us to send some people over and report the news."
"Great, are there many casualties?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"There are not many casualties. There is only one baggage force left in the city, about 2,000 people. They don't have much combat power. Kill them all. Commander Xue asked me to tell the young master that there will be enough food in the city for a while and there are many equipment. Defending the city is not a big problem.
, please rest assured, young master."
"Well done." Qin Huaidao's heart dropped and he said to Duan Zan: "General Duan, why don't you go and form a temporary army and find Wang Meng and ask him to take the temporary army to help defend the city?
With Zhang Yu as the chief general."
"Let us form an army temporarily?" Duan Zan was a little worried.
"Execute the order. Zhang Yu and the others only have 2,000 people, which is not enough. It is most suitable to form an army temporarily. I don't know how many days it will take for Duoji to return after chasing Tenzin. I can't afford to wait. We can't go and spend these two days."
Bring all the arrows you made." Qin Huaidao reminded.
When Duan Zan heard that it made sense, among the temporary armies, only one of the temporary armies had helped the Tang army fight with real swords and guns, so it was relatively trustworthy, so he agreed and hurriedly made arrangements.
Qin Huaidao continued to warn the team leader: "It's hard work for coming all the way. Eat something, take a rest, and then set off with the army and return to Brother Xue."
"Okay." The team leader quickly agreed.
Qin Huaidao asked a captain of the village guard team who stayed with him to lead everyone to rest and eat, and then asked another captain to drive the carriage and follow him to the entrance of a side hall in the palace.
The mausoleum was carried out of the carriage, into the side hall, and placed on a long table.
After some inspection, Qin Huaidao knew what he was doing and ordered: "Go and bring Zan Xiruo."
Qin Ling's wound seemed to have been cleaned with white wine, but without any dressing. Along the way, the wound was re-infected and blood flowed out. Xue Rengui's arrow had been soaked in gold juice made from various kinds of feces, and there were various bacteria on the arrow.
, bacteria enter the body, not only inflammation occurs, but the blood appears to be infected by bacteria.
Not long after, Zan Xiruo came in a hurry and was stunned when he saw the unconscious second brother. The pride of the family, his sustenance and hope were just gone?
Qin Huaidao stepped back a few steps and got out of the way. Zan Xiruo stepped forward to check the injury. He was very anxious, but he could still maintain restraint. He knew that the only hope to save his brother was Qin Huaidao. He solemnly saluted: "I beg you, sir, to help me."
Save my second brother."
"You and I are hostile, give me a reason." Qin Huaidao said silently.
Zan Xiruo gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I can write a letter to my family and withdraw from the competition. However, I have a request. Let my family have a way to survive."
"It's not enough. With the foundation and influence of your family, it won't take long for it to become bigger again. Tubo will not allow factors that are detrimental to the Tang Dynasty to exist." Qin Huaidao refused bluntly.
If Zan Xi was not stupid and knew that the situation was over, he could die, but his family could not. Qin Huaidao asked him to come here as an ultimatum. If he missed this time, he would never have another chance in the future. He knelt down with a thump and solemnly said: "I am willing to sell myself as a slave.
, I will never regret it for the rest of my life, I just ask you to save my second brother and let my family go."
"You are a smart man and have made a wise choice. Get up. I don't like the word slave. From now on, you will follow me as a staff member. I have also seen your brother's situation. It is poisonous to the bone. Whether he can be saved depends on his fate.
Who is the best doctor in Tubo? Find it yourself."
"Thank you, young master." Zan Xiruo saluted again gratefully and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao waved his hand and asked a team of village guards to follow him. He watched Zan Xiruo's back disappear into the side hall, and sighed in his heart. Even the young master called him. This guy is indeed a smart man, ruthless and decisive enough.
People are difficult to control and may rebel at any time. If there were not 300,000 troops in the east, Qin Huaidao would never take them in.
However, this man has a deep affection for his brother, and his conscience is still intact.
If you have talent, you can use it, but you must be on guard.
After waiting for a while, Zan Xiruo came over with an old man and said something anxiously. Qin Huaidao stepped away and let Zan Xiruo handle it by himself. Since he agreed, there was no need to stop him. Whether he could be saved or not had nothing to do with him.
The old man carefully examined the injury and said a few words to Zan Xiruo. Zan Xiruo asked for a while, and then said to Qin Huaidao: "Young master, you need a ginseng that is more than five hundred years old to survive. Treat it slowly. Only the palace
We have it in the warehouse, please help me."
Qin Huaidao glanced at the captain of the village protection team.
The other party nodded and hurried away.
Zan Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, sir. No matter what, I owe the young master a huge favor."
"You can't help anyway, just write a letter." Qin Huaidao urged. Without the 300,000 troops, Qin Huaidao would never use his good intentions to help the enemy.
There were banknotes in the room. If Zanxi did not refuse, he also knew that he was not qualified to bargain. He had to show sincerity, otherwise he would die, so he quickly wrote a letter, this time in Tibetan script.
After the letter was written and the ginseng was brought back, the old man began to prepare medicine to save people. Qin Huaidao took the letter and found someone to translate it. He found a few more people and returned after confirming that the content was correct. He asked Zan Xiruo to choose his confidants to deliver the letter. He was not afraid of Zan Xiruo at all.
If you bring private goods.
Now that the matter has come to this, Zan Xiruo dare not bring in private goods and cause disaster.
I thought that my second brother's military ability was unparalleled, that no one in Tubo could defeat him, and that the family could take advantage of the opportunity to do something good, so he made the decision at the risk of his own life, all for the benefit of the family. Unexpectedly, he was no match for the Tang army and was captured alive. His so-called military talent was
Tubo may be the strongest, but it is not worth mentioning in front of the powerful Tang army.
Hopeless and disheartened, if we don't seize the last chance, the family will disappear from this world. For the benefit of the family, if Zan Xi is willing to be a slave, how can he dare to act recklessly?
Qin Huaidao admired this guy a little. He was really flexible and could do anything for the benefit of the family. Such a ruthless person should be careful, but if he controls his family, he is a sharp knife.
Inexplicably, Qin Huaidao thought of Lu Dongzan. In order to avenge his daughter, he did not hesitate to betray Feng Yulou and Prince Yin. The second son talked about Qin Ling and did not hesitate to fight for the interests of the family. This family is crazy and will do anything for the interests of the family.
Come out and don't care about anything.
However, this is not the case for the children of the big families with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. Perhaps this is a common problem among big families in this era, where family interests come first.
After a dose of medicine was prepared and Zan Xiruo fed it himself, Lun Qinling opened his weak eyes and was excited after recognizing his elder brother. Qin Huaidao was too lazy to listen and couldn't understand what he was saying, so he simply came out and stood in the side.
At the entrance of the palace, a gust of cool breeze blew, refreshing my heart and mind, and I felt inexplicably better.
If the 300,000 troops from the east also surrendered, Tubo would be destroyed.
I don’t know what’s going on in Chang’an?
The shadow of He'er flashed in his mind, and soon it was Yu Zhang. The two of them were smiling and looking forward to each other. They were graceful and graceful. They were walking towards him, waving to him, calling for something.
"What the hell."
Qin Huaidao shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts and continued to be busy. There were too many things waiting to be dealt with.
…
Inside Chang'an City.
The sky at dusk was a bit gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain. He Erben was busy in the workshop. He came over in a hurry after hearing the inquiry. He was confused when he saw the fire burning in the barbecue bar. Okay, how could it catch fire and burn?
It happened so quickly, someone must be targeting the house again.
In the past few days, He'er has been assassinated three times. If Shen Mei hadn't led people to protect her secretly, her reputation would have disappeared. She didn't expect that the murderer failed to assassinate her and burned down the shop. His methods were so vicious and vicious that it was simply unbelievable.
The waiters at the barbecue bar, both men and women, were frantically fetching water to put out the fire. Neighbors also came over to help. A forbidden army also rushed over and joined the fire-fighting under the command of Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin explained and hurried to He
Er came forward and asked: "He'er, what happened?"
"General Cheng, the servants have just arrived, so we don't know yet." He'er said quickly. Seeing Hu Zi, the captain of the village guard team stationed at the store, he quickly shouted: "Hu Zi, come here."
Huzi was rushing to the river with a wooden bucket to fetch water to put out the fire. When he heard the shouting and rushed over, Heer hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
"A group of killers suddenly came in, killed a few of us, and set the store on fire. There were so many of them that we were entangled and couldn't stop them. When the fire started, they ran away. They all wore masks and didn't speak. We don't know.
Who is he?" Huzi said quickly.
He'er then discovered that Huzi still had stab wounds and was bleeding, and quickly said: "You are injured, go and take care of it quickly, your life is at stake."
"No, the young master handed over the store to me, but I failed to protect it well. I'm sorry, young master, but I have to put out the fire first even if I die." As he said that, the dignified man shed tears, full of guilt.
Cheng Yaojin gave Hu Zi a high look and shouted: "Go, you are not too much. You have to live until your young master comes over and informs you of the situation. If you die, who will tell your young master the truth.
"
Huzi was stunned by these words, and he suddenly reacted and said: "Yes, I can't die yet. I want to wait for the young master to explain the situation, and then I will die to apologize."
"What about those who are not dead? Tell me, how many people have come and how many of you have died?" Cheng Yaojin interrupted, with a gloomy and terrifying face. Before, it was a catapult attack. Now it is time to attack by force and set fire to it.
It finally opened and not many innocent people were affected.
However, it has just been repaired and it has to be done again, which is a huge loss.
Huzi quickly said: "Fifty people have come, all of them are masters. We only have ten people and are not opponents. Five of them were killed, three were seriously injured and two were slightly injured."
"Fifty people can't beat ten of you, how can they be masters?" Cheng Yaojin asked in surprise.
"Of course, forget it if you don't believe it." Huzi's temper grew and he did not allow anyone to tarnish the combat effectiveness of the village guard team, but when he thought of Qin Huaidao's repeated reminders to keep a low profile, hide his clumsiness, and not reveal his true strength, he left in a hurry without explanation.
"Hey... brat." Cheng Yaojin cursed, but he was Qin Huaidao's man after all, so he was really angry. As for the experts, he didn't take them seriously. Although fifty of them were defeated, they were not able to annihilate them all.
This kind of fighting ability can be said to be very strong, and it can really put one's face on the line.
He'er didn't know how strong the fighting power of the village guarding team was, but he believed in his young master. If the young master said it was strong, then it would definitely be good. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it, he didn't say much and looked at the people following him.
Shen Mei asked: "Can you find out their identities?"
"No need to check, it must have been done by Fengyulou." Shen Mei said bluntly.
Cheng Yaojin recognized Shen Mei. It was Cheng Yaojin who led the attack on Meihua Castle in the first place. Shen Mei was the person who was rescued by the Holy Spirit before setting off. He knew her identity and asked, "Do you know their stronghold?"
"I don't know." Shen Mei shook her head, thinking of something, and added: "Shenjian Villa is the headquarters of Fengyu Tower, and now it has been captured by the Supervisory Office. It has suffered heavy losses, but many people have escaped. How could these people just give up? They may have escaped.
People come here to take revenge, and these people will not let me go, and I will definitely tell you if they know."
Cheng Yaojin of Shenjian Villa also knew that he cursed Su Dingfang, Fang Yiai and Li Yixie who led the team for their incompetence. Looking at the raging fire, he became worried in his heart. The barbecue bar was burned down again, and Qin Huaidao would not be able to come back.
Crazy, I wonder how many people are involved?
At this time, Xu Shiji hurried over with his army, asked about the situation and said: "Cheng Heizi, the Holy Father has ordered us to conduct a thorough investigation. If there is no result within three days, we will punish him severely."
A thorough investigation revealed too much information. Cheng Yaojin knew that the Holy Emperor was really angry. Qin Huaidao was fighting in Tubo, but he was bullied in the rear. He could not explain it until the murderer was caught. He rushed up with anger and shouted: "Send an order to blockade all cities."
Door, I want to check door to door."
"Obey the order." Someone immediately ran to deliver the order.
Xu Shiji reminded: "The Holy One has said that whoever stops it will be punished for treason."
"Your Majesty, this is a great decision." Cheng Yaojin said with emotion.
"Nonsense, they are making trouble again and again, and if Chang'an doesn't ask, how can the court lose face? The news that Qin Huaidao led his army to attack Tubo has spread, and the Holy One suspects that someone is deliberately causing trouble, intending to disturb Huaidao and force Huaidao to withdraw his troops.
, maybe more cruel methods are waiting behind, we must find out as soon as possible, and I am ordered to personally lead people to protect the Protector's Mansion and the property under his name to prevent any unexpected events."
Cheng Yaojin understood that this was not a simple revenge, it involved national affairs, so he quickly led his troops to leave. Xu Shiji looked at He'er and suggested: "Leave it to them to put out the fire. Otherwise, don't decorate this store first and leave it alone."
Wait until Huai Dao comes back. I will escort you back to your home. Try not to go out during this period. If you have anything to do, send someone to take care of it, just in case. This is also the wish of the Holy One and the request of Princess Yuzhang."
He'er said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you for your mercy, Princess. I can stay in the house and not cause trouble to Your Majesty, but what about the Qin Family Village?"
"Don't worry, we've arranged for someone to come over and protect you. Everything will be fine."
"This slave will thank General Xu on behalf of my young master." He'er saluted gratefully.
"Where are you housekeepers? Call us together. You are all important people around Huai Dao. The murderer will definitely not let go. You have to be careful in the past few days." Xu Shiji reminded.
He'er quickly asked Jia Youcai to explain the situation. Jia Youcai was experienced and knew that Xu Shiji had made the best arrangements. He was worried that the murderer would not find him and kill others in revenge, so he called all the barbecue bar staff and went back together.
As for the fire, it is basically under control. The Forbidden Army and the neighbors will take care of it.
The barbecue bar was completely changed after being burned, so it was better to close down for now. Anyway, the Forbidden Army was watching, so they wouldn't throw anything away, and there was nothing valuable to throw away.
The group returned to the house in great force. As soon as they arrived at the door, they met Princess Yuzhang's carriage coming. He'er stepped forward to greet her and entered the house together. When they came to the backyard, the two of them went straight to the study in tacit understanding. Yuzhang liked to stay at Qin Huaidao every time he came.
In the study room, I can make tea and read books, which is very enjoyable.
The two sat down and Yu Zhang said eagerly: "He'er, I've heard about the situation. My father said that it might be revenge from the killers of Fengyu Tower, but I feel that there may be something complicated behind it. Let's stay at the house for safety.
For the best."
"General Xu said, thank you princess for interceding and taking care of the house."
"What you said is untrue. We are sisters." Yuzhang complained and asked, "He'er, is there anything I can do?"
"It's okay for the moment. The barbecue restaurant is closed for now and we will wait until the young master comes back to make a reservation. Otherwise, someone will burn it again after the renovation. Obviously some people don't want us to open and say we are killers. I don't think it is necessarily competition among peers," He'er said seriously.
, experienced several assassinations, and suddenly became mature.
Yuzhang didn't expect this, his expression changed, and he quickly said: "That's right, then I'll ask my father to check it out."
"No, your Majesty must have thought of it. It doesn't matter if you don't think of it. It's just a guess on my part. I can't be sure. Let's wait until the young master comes back. We can handle the matter in the Protector's Palace ourselves without bothering your Majesty."
Yuzhang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of his identity. Although he was still a princess who had not left the palace, she had a marriage contract after all, and she was considered a member of the Protector's Palace. When considering the problem, she could no longer just think about it from the perspective of the princess, but also as the mistress of the palace.
, there are many differences between the two.
After thinking about it from the mistress's perspective for a moment, Yu Zhang asked: "He'er, you and Brother Qin grew up together, and you know him better than I do. How do you think he will deal with it?"
He'er hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
Yuzhang felt He'er's reservation, and was a little disappointed, but he was not angry. After all, He'er was thinking about Qin Huaidao. After thinking about it, he said: "I will stay here in the past few days. When Brother Qin comes back, what's in the house?"
We will bear the responsibility together, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"This..." He'er was a little embarrassed, but couldn't refuse.
Yuzhang solemnly said: "That's it. I have a marriage contract with Brother Qin, and I am his. If there is trouble in the house, I can't just watch from the side. The killers outside will be more wary if they know my identity."
"Okay, He'er just obeys the order and goes to clean up the room." He'er thought of his status as a servant and didn't dare to be more polite and violated the rules, so he had to agree.
"Then there's sister Lao He'er, let's come together. Yu Zhang is not a person who doesn't distinguish between grains and grains." Yu Zhang stood up.
Not long after, everyone came to the backyard, cleared out the room next to Qin Huaidao's sleeping room, and made two beds. Yuzhang slept in the inner room, and the maid Xiao'e slept in the outer room. As for the guards, they were arranged in the courtyard where the servants lived in the east courtyard.
Qin Huaidao was away, and there was no one in the backyard. It was too deserted. Princess Yuzhang and her maid Xiao'e were a little scared, so they asked He'er to move in as companions and find a room to live in.
After settling down, He'er had food delivered to him, and the three of them ate and chatted in the backyard. After a while, He'er suddenly said: "Princess, the barbecue bar was attacked last time. The Imperial Army searched the city, but nothing was found.
What, now the killer has appeared again, could he be hiding in someone's house that cannot be investigated?"
"What do you mean?" Yuzhang grew up in the palace, saw intrigues and intrigues, and was very politically sensitive. He immediately thought of many things and said to Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, you will pretend to be me and ride back to the palace in a carriage. Follow me.
My father told me to stay here for a few days and then find Princess Jinyang and ask her to contact the sisters and keep an eye on their respective houses to see if any suspicious people appear. Princess Jinyang is smart and knows what to do."
"Here!" Xiao'e quickly agreed. She also hated the killer in her heart. After all... the Duke Protector's Mansion will also be her home in the future, and she cannot be bullied by others.
"Do you have any other good ideas?" Yu Zhang looked at He'er and asked happily.
When He'er saw that Yuzhang actually understood his intentions and was supportive, his good feelings doubled immediately and he continued: "Those killers must be hiding in a corner of Chang'an City. Although they cannot be found, as long as they are there, someone will definitely know.
We can follow the example of the young master and offer a reward of a thousand silver coins, maybe we can get some clues."
"It makes sense. The killer also needs to eat and sleep, so he cannot avoid contact with people, but will Qian Guan be missing?" Yu Zhang reminded.
"Young Master has offered a reward of 100,000 yuan, but no one reported Fengyu Tower. It is estimated that no one dared, or found a suspicious person but was not sure that he was from Fengyu Tower, so no one reported it. Let's not say it is Fengyu Tower this time, just say that we collect suspicious people
There are a thousand clues, one for each, as long as they sound similar, they will be given, and they will be given to more than one family, maybe you will be lucky enough to run into them."

Maybe we can really catch them, He'er, you are so smart, this is a good idea."
"It's all Young Bishop's. It's like doing business, small profits but quick turnover, expanding the market. If there are more people buying, you will always be unlucky and encounter one or two people who are looking for trouble. Let's turn around. If there are more people selling information, there will always be
If there is an accident, the total reward amount will remain the same anyway." He'er said modestly.
"What else does Brother Qin teach you? Tell me." Yu Zhang became interested and asked.
"That's a lot." He'er smiled proudly.
"Then let's talk slowly, we have plenty of time."
He'er thought for a while and concluded that it would not be harmful to her to have a good relationship with her future mistress, but a quarrel would only make it more difficult for the young master. She agreed: "In this case, I will arrange the reward first, and we will talk slowly in the evening.
