In the military camp full of big men, a soft voice suddenly floated out, making everyone jump.
Turning around, he saw the little girl sneaking in out of nowhere with two clusters of branches on her head.
"Miss!"
"It's Miss!"
They looked overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him. Before they could express their joy, Si Nannan made a silencing gesture.
There are Imperial Guards sent by the Emperor to guard the barracks outside. Don't make any announcement. If you attract them, you will be in trouble.
We are all smart people. The soldiers immediately dispersed and went to look around. The five lieutenants welcomed Si Nannan into the camp and knelt on one knee in front of her:
"Miss, General, he..."
Si Nannan had heard a little bit about the war between the two countries in Nanyuan and the barbarians in Northern Xinjiang.
Northern Xinjiang is a poor land, half plateau and half snow-capped mountains, with extremely cold winters and extremely hot summers. There grow ferocious barbarians who are aggressive by nature. In order to compete for resources, they have been attacking Nanyuan for hundreds of years in an attempt to move south. .
Three months ago, a war broke out.
Dad took command of the expedition himself, and Si Nannan knew everything about his troop strength, itinerary, defense plans, war habits, etc.
Half a month ago, it must have been Daddy's trusted lieutenant who stole the military defense map, thus trapping Daddy in an unjust situation.
With deep thoughts in her eyes, she glanced at the five people in front of her.
These five people were all her father's confidants and uncles who had watched her grow up, but there was one man in sheep's clothing who was hiding among them.
She pursed her lips and said, "My father is temporarily imprisoned in the sky jail, and the charges are pending. Before we leave, he asked me to investigate something that can help him get out of jail."
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that the five people were about to sacrifice their lives in excitement, they immediately said:
"I need to question you individually, and what I say alone is secret and must not be known to a third party."
"good!"
The five of them all agreed, but when they went out, a middle-aged lieutenant wearing green clothes and a beard turned his head and looked at Si Nannan with deep meaning...
The first person to ask questions was Lieutenant General Wu Sheng.
Si Nannan thought for a moment and then said, "Where did my father put my mother's portrait?"
Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment: "This..."
Although he knew that the general and his wife had a deep love, and even though his wife had passed away for five years and had never taken a concubine or remarried, the general still carried his wife's portrait with him when he went to war?
"Here, miss, please forgive me for being useless in my humble position. I don't know how to be humble."
"Okay, it's okay, you can go out first."
"yes."
Wu Sheng was a little confused as to why the young lady suddenly asked this question, but when he went out and saw the other four people, the young lady had just told them that it was a secret, and the one who kept his word didn't mention it at all.
The second person who came in was deputy general Yang An.
Si Nannan asked the same question. Yang An hesitated and answered apologetically:
"Sorry, ma'am, I've never seen anything like this around the General."
The third and fourth people all gave the same answer. It was the turn of the fifth deputy general Wang Xiangtian.
When Wang Xiangtian heard this question, he paused, as if thinking about something quickly. After two seconds, Fang said:
"When the general went to war, he didn't seem to take his wife's portrait with him."
Si Nannan suddenly raised his eyes, "Dad has a deep affection for mother. How could he not take mother with him when he marches and fights?"
Wang Xiangtian smiled bitterly.
Speaking of this couple, they are really a pair of mandarin ducks that are both enviable and regrettable.
"When Madam was alive, she kept a low profile and didn't like to stir up trouble. Therefore, there is only one portrait of her during her lifetime. If it was damaged, broken, or lost during the war, how could the general part with it?"
