At night, Shang Shixu went to the barracks to count the number of people and had not returned yet. Lin Jingmo sat in the tent and started looking through the account books on the table.
Shuangyin pushed the curtain in with the brewed tea, and saw Lin Jingmo flipping through the account book. She squatted in front of the table, put down the tea, and asked softly: "What are you looking at, madam?"
Lin Jingmo raised his head, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip: "This is the accounts of the Lu Family Army in the North over the past three years."
"Isn't the purpose of Madam's trip to help Mr. Shilang check the accounts of the Northern Territory?" She picked up the teapot and added tea to Lin Jingmo, and continued: "Madam, did you see any clues?" p>
Lin Jingmo closed the account book, put it aside, stretched and said, "How can I understand this?"
Shuangyin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "But in the past two days since Shuangyin and his wife were separated, I heard some things."
When Lin Jingmo heard this, he didn't think much about it. He just picked up another account book, flipped through it, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"
Shuangyin approached Lin Jingmo and whispered: "I also heard from a teahouse owner that the guards in the northern border town collaborated with the enemy. The war between the two countries was just a show. The people there knew it." p>
Lin Jingmo heard this and asked hurriedly: "Border Guard General? Does he mean General Lu?"
Duanyin nodded.
Lin Jingmo didn't believe it, and said suspiciously: "The enemy people told you on purpose, right? How could General Lu be treasonous and collaborating with the enemy?"
Shuangyin replied: "Those people said it in a realistic way, it doesn't look like they were making it up, and it is said that they also know a lot of inside information!"
Lin Jingmo tilted his head, and his facial features twisted together: "How could they tell you such an important thing?"
Shuangyin laughed and said: "They and I are from ordinary people. They had no suspicion about me. Seeing that I came from Southern Qi, I lied to them and said that I was going to Beiyan to join my relatives. They wanted to keep me in Beiyan.
, that’s why I said that.”
Lin Jingmo was doubtful. After all, she knew that Shuangyin grew up with her. Although there were some misunderstandings before, this time she risked her life to come to Beiyan with her, which showed her loyalty. There was no need for her to lie to herself.<
/p>
Lin Jingmo stood up and said to Shuangyin: "In that case, how about you take me to that store and ask?"
Shuangyin shook his head: "Last time I told him that I was going to seek refuge with my relatives. This time I am taking my wife with me. What excuse should I use?"
Lin Jingmo took out an ingot of gold and said, "Even if the coins used by the two countries are different, this is gold. Even if it is melted, it is still worth a lot of money! We only need to give him money, as long as he gives a rough idea. If it is true,
The Lu family has an evil plot. If the husband continues to investigate, he may be in danger. Plus, he has a member of the military department beside him... If we find out as soon as possible, we can report it to the court and send the news back to the capital as early as possible.
Return to Beijing as early as possible."
Shuangyin nodded and said: "That's right! Why don't we go tonight?"
"Tonight?" Lin Jingmo was thinking about the best time to go, when he suddenly heard that the businessman outside was coming back.
Shang Shixu looked at the ledger flipped by Lin Jingmo on the table, and waved his hand to signal Shuangyin to go out.
Shuangyin also shook his head at Lin Jingmo, and then walked out of the tent. After Shuangyin went out, Shang Shixu sat at the low table and reclassified the accounts and sorted them out.
Lin Jingmo was sitting next to him, and when he was about to talk about what Shuangyin mentioned just now, Shang Shixu spoke first: "What is the purpose of Madam coming to the north this time?"
Lin Jingmo on the side was stunned by the question: If I told him that it was to help him find out the affairs of the Northern Territory as soon as possible and to be wary of Yu Gaizhi, a close associate of the Minister of War, he should let me return to Beijing as soon as possible, right?
"No matter why Madam came to the north, it's very dangerous here, so you should start your journey back to Beijing." Before Lin Jingmo could answer, Shang Shixu had really begun to make plans to send her back.
Lin Jingmo thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I'm actually here to see General Lu."
Shang Shixu stopped what he was doing and raised his head to look at Lin Jingmo's bright but guilty eyes. It seemed that anything related to Lin Jingmo would be guessed by him. He curled his lips and said, "General Lu? Are you here?"
Look at Old General Lu, or Young General Lu?"
"Lu...Old General!" Lin Jingmo said with a playful smile: "Husband, don't you know, Lu...Old General is good friends with dad, but it's a pity that they haven't seen each other for a long time. I think they must want to meet, and it happens to be my father.
His birthday is coming soon, and I specially invited General Lu to attend the birthday banquet!"
Shang Shixu lowered his head and continued to sort out the accounts while saying: "I only know that if the matter can be solved with a letter, the teacher will definitely not let you come to this war-torn northern border." After that, he raised his head.
Lai smiled slyly: "So I will send someone to take you back to Beijing tomorrow."
Lin Jingmo pursed his lips, turned to the other side angrily, and said angrily: "Then I'm not here to see the old general."
Shang Shixu stopped his hand and raised his head to look at her.
She didn't know which muscle was wrong, so she suddenly raised her neck and started talking nonsense: "I'm here to see General Lu."
Shang Shixu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes wandered again. He lowered his head in confusion and said nothing.
Lin Jingmo regretted in his heart: Lin Jingmo, Lin Jingmo, what nonsense are you talking about! You have no impression of Lu Feicheng at all...
However, Shang Shixu took it seriously. He had already felt guilty that he had killed Lin Jingmo, but now there was another Lu Feicheng who grew up with his childhood sweethearts and was better than him in terms of family background, fame and wealth...
At that moment, he even felt in his heart that since he was not worthy of Lin Jingmo and could not bring her a comfortable life, maybe Lu Feicheng was more suitable for her and more likely to bring her happiness.
He raised his head slightly, looked at Lin Jingmo who looked confused, and replied lightly: "Yeah."
Seeing his cold reaction, Lin Jingmo's heart suddenly went cold: Oh no, he took it seriously. Just now he was eloquently arguing that he wanted to send me back to Beijing, but now he just said casually?
Lin Jingmo carefully called out softly: "Husband..."
Shang Shixuan acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to sort out the account books.
So Lin Jingmo raised his voice and shouted: "Shang Shixu!"
Shang Shixu raised his head and looked at Lin Jingmo. Lin Jing lowered his head again and heard Shang Shixu say calmly: "The young general is very promising. Not only has he helped General Lu to repel the enemy many times, but now in the northern border
He is an indispensable and important person. You have grown up together, and it is no secret that you are fond of him. This time you are brave enough to come to the north. If you really fall in love, I can reconcile with my wife."
After hearing this, Lin Jingmo slowly raised his head and looked at Shang Shixu with a look of disbelief on his face: "Heli?!"
