The mountain breeze in early autumn blew from far away, blowing over the hills and rustling the treetops.
"Do your words still count now?"
Faced with this question, Youjia cannot give a negative answer no matter what.
"Your Majesty, Longque's mind has never changed."
Looking up into Ning Yongnian's eyes, You Jia tried to make her tone calmer: "My subordinates will always be members of the Dragon Guard, and they will always be... the Emperor's people."
"Is it?"
Shaking his head slightly, Ning Yongnian let go of his hand and turned to look at Fengxian County at his feet.
"Longque... In my eyes, you are just Youjia, not Longque."
"From now on, you will still be my concubine."
"..."
You are just Youjia, and you will still be my concubine in the future.
These two sentences made Yu Jia's heart tremble for no reason.
But before she could say anything else, Ning Yongnian had already retracted his gaze and walked down the mountain.
"Let's go down the mountain."
"..."
...
Yuanzhou City.
Like Feng County, this place has also been freed from the war since Dafeng's army retreated to Yuanzhou City, and now everything in the city is gradually getting back on track.
After all, for most people in the city, it doesn't matter whether the flags on the city wall are embroidered with "Ning" or "Feng", as long as they can save their lives in this troubled world.
Therefore, although Dafeng's 500,000 troops are now stationed in the city, there have been only a handful of "military-civilian conflicts" incidents that have occurred in more than a month.
Under such circumstances, the Dafeng army's control over Fengyuan City is no longer as strict as it was at the beginning, and even the curfew was lifted a few days ago.
Several night markets have reopened, and Fengyuan City is once again lively at night.
The common people took to the streets one after another, and they were no longer frightened even when they met the Dafeng soldiers in armor. Some people would chat with the latter, and those who were familiar with them had even started doing business in the military.
These transactions involve a wide range of contents.
For example, fresh fruits and vegetables, such as prostitutes, such as coolies, and another example...information.
"..."
"Brother Wang, what's new recently?"
In the private room of a teahouse, a man in ordinary clothes poured a cup of tea for the soldier opposite, with a flattering smile on his face.
This person is none other than the Shuzhou soldier Li Si whom Wei Changtian met when he first arrived in Yuanzhou City.
The two of them seemed to have a predestined relationship, and Li Si was quite smart and cautious in his actions. Therefore, before Wei Changtian left Yuanzhou, he made an "exception" and "promoted" him to become the master of the Masonic Hall in Yuanzhou City, and
A lot of "active funds" were left.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Although he knew that it was not easy to be the master of the hall, Li Si, who had been mediocre all his life, finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the job. From then on, he officially became a "senior" at the level of master of the Masonic Hall, and had the power to directly contact Chu Xianping.
But compared to other hall leaders, he is basically a polished commander right now.
In more than a month, less than ten gang members have been developed. Now most things need to be done by oneself... From this perspective, Li Si is indeed no better than Wang Er and Zhang San, and may be more suitable to be a gang member.
An executor, not a leader.
"Brother Wang, a little money for tea is disrespectful..."
He pushed the teacup in front of the military man, along with a small money bag.
Li Si's face was still full of compliments, and the soldier in civilian clothes opposite him also showed a smile when he saw the money bag.
"Ahem, Brother Li is too polite."
Calmly putting the money bag into his sleeve, the military man leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice: "Listen carefully, something big may happen in the Japanese army in the past few days."
"oh?"
Li Si's eyes lit up, and he quickly stuffed another fifty-tael banknote in his hand: "I don't know what the big deal is... If it's not a military secret, I should tell Brother Wang something about it."
"My business is all in Yuanzhou City, so it's better to be prepared in advance, right?"
"..."
All intelligence in the military is naturally confidential, so "all business is in Wonju City" is the worst excuse.
The military man naturally understands this, but as long as the money is enough, this is not a problem.
"Brother Li, just know this yourself, don't tell others..."
Accepting the banknote happily, the military man glanced around, then whispered in Li Si's ear: "In this Yuanzhou City, it won't be long before there will be no more great soldiers."
"this......"
There is no doubt that such a piece of information is absolutely shocking.
Li Si calmed down his somewhat rapid breathing, and quickly asked: "Brother Wang, is there another war?"
"No."
The military man smiled and shook his head: "We are not going to the west, but going back to the east."
Go back east.
The meanings represented by these three words are very clear.
"withdraw troops?"
Li Si suddenly widened his eyes: "Da, Dafeng wants to withdraw his troops?"
"Hahaha, just maybe..."
Reaching out and patting Li Si's shoulder, the military man stood up with a smile: "Brother Li, I have said everything that needs to be said. If nothing else, this should be the last time you and I see each other."
"There are still important matters in the army, brother, I will take the first step."
"I wish your business in Yuanzhou City will get better and better."
"Farewell."
After saying what needed to be said, the military man stopped writing and quickly walked out of the teahouse in a hurry and disappeared into the night.
Li Si sat in the private room for a while, but still couldn't figure out why Dafeng suddenly wanted to withdraw his troops.
Although the war in Yuanzhou has stopped for a month, Dafeng's side still has the advantage no matter how you look at it.
Even if you don't want to fight due to some changes, you shouldn't give up so easily after you have obtained Yuanzhou City.
Back then, an army of 500,000 men crossed the border with great momentum, vowing to retake the original and western states... Why is it that now this battle has just begun and is ending so hastily?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Could it be that the two courts have already reached an agreement?
Li Si was puzzled for a long time, but finally gave up thinking about it. After paying for the tea, he was ready to go back and send a message to Chu Xianping.
In any case, finding out such a piece of information can be regarded as a great achievement.
After taking so much money from Mr. Wei, I have finally done something practical, so I am not the leader of the hall for nothing...
While thinking wildly, he walked quickly along the wall to his residence.
Although there is no curfew in Yuanzhou City, there are not many pedestrians on the street after dark, so Li Si's figure that almost blends into the night seems a bit lonely.
Go around a corner and turn into an alley called "Shimo".
Shimo Lane is only a few miles away from the West City Wall, and most of the residents have fled. Today, including Li Si, only four or five families still live there.
Such an alley is already inaccessible, and no one would be walking in it so late at night.
But tonight, Li Si rarely encountered a few men wearing bamboo hats.
A group of five people came towards each other, their faces hidden under the curtains and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
There are undoubtedly many doubts about such a group of people, but they are not uncommon in Yuanzhou City today.
In line with the principle of "no extraneous matters", Li Si certainly would not do anything rash, so he lowered his head slightly and quickened his pace.
The five people opposite seemed to have the same mentality.
Soon, the two sides passed each other in the narrow alley, and then they continued walking forward.
"call......"
Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther behind him, Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Just now, he actually looked at each other's leader.
And it was this glance that made me feel as if I was in a trance for a moment.
Illusion?
Resisting the urge to look back, Li Si shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
At this time, the five people behind him slowly let go of the daggers hidden in their sleeves.
"Sir, that man should be from the military..."
"Let him go, there won't be any trouble."
The cold voice paused for a moment, then sounded again with infinite indifference.
