In the hall, Cui Zhaoquan watched the commander of the Southwest Army in front of him apologize, with a cold expression, but he had to wink at the soldiers and ask them to stop Qian Zhidong.
"Qian Shuai, did my father-in-law and I say that we don't believe you?" Cui Zhaoquan sighed: "You can already see that withdrawing the troops is a helpless move if you can lead the army to rescue the next day. And this time, it was also me and It's not your fault that father-in-law rushed in, so you don't have to worry about it."
Qian Zhidong walked down the slope: "The two imperial envoys are really generous. Qian is really guilty!"
At this time, Supervisor Zhao seemed to be reluctant to say: "Well, I can't really blame Qian Shuai for the situation at that time. If you really stayed, you would have fallen into the enemy chief's plan. Then the situation would be really bad." It’s out of control.”
Seeing that even the most arrogant eunuch relaxed and accepted the explanation, Qian Zhidong was secretly relieved.
"Although the previous withdrawal of troops may have made them dissatisfied, I immediately led the troops to rescue. It only took one night and half a day, so it should not make them suspicious too much."
"And I can also explain it to the court."
Thinking like this, and saying some polite words, Qian Zhidong took the initiative to propose that the two imperial envoys could write the document jointly submitted to the court. He only signed it in the end, which was considered to be a compromising gesture again, and the atmosphere became better after that. .
When he heard Qian Zhidong leaving, Su Ziji frowned slightly: "I didn't expect the two imperial envoys to talk easily this time. Do they really believe in Qian Zhidong and are willing to take this opportunity to turn enemies into friends? They don't mind the previous targeting." Are you going to die without saving anything?"
"No, Cui Zhaoquan may be able to do this for the sake of the overall situation, but when it comes to being petty, Inspector Zhao will definitely not be able to do such a life-and-death feud."
"If the yin and yang monster damages Qian Zhidong and refuses to give up easily, maybe it can be resolved, but if you let it go so easily, I'm afraid there is something wrong with it."
At this time, the two imperial envoys came in to talk.
Both sides were a little absent-minded. The imperial envoy just promised that he would record the merits of Su Ziji in the document submitted to the court, but Su Ziji was thinking about it and did not forget Qin Mao's merits, so he mentioned it casually.
"Qin Mao is quite loyal and brave." Cui Zhaoquan nodded. Although the other party was guilty, he was handed back to his father Qin Fengliang when he arrived in the southwest. In Qin Mao, he followed Su Ziji to rescue him. Cui Zhaoquan had a good impression of him. After reading a lot, and then thinking about Qin Mao who had volunteered to kill sea monsters when he was at sea, he felt that this was a general he could train.
"I will remember this, but you, I heard that some of the cavalry teams were also pruned. It has been really hard these days."
"The stronghold has been destroyed and many rooms can no longer be inhabited. It's too late to clean up now. You can rest in the Qin camp. There are two thousand people here. Even if you live in a tent, it should be safer than living in the stronghold." It seems that he has thought again. Cui Zhaoquan laughed at himself about what happened before.
Supervisor Zhao on the side had already received Sun Baihu's report. He looked at Su Ziji with admiration in his eyes and said with a smile: "Su Juren, my master returned early, maybe you can still catch up with the examination. Now you can go back and review your homework. It will definitely be good for you if you can be named on the gold medal list."
When Su Ziji's eyes met his, his heart moved and he hurriedly thanked him.
It wasn't until he left the hall, was escorted by his own soldiers, returned to the Qin camp, and entered the tent that Su Ziji breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chirp!" The little fox, which had been running around happily since arriving in the southwest, actually appeared at this moment, got into the tent from nowhere, stood up, and looked at Su Ziji carefully, as if checking whether he was injured.
Su Ziji immediately picked it up, touched its head, and said, "Xiao Bai, I was just looking for you, but you came here unexpectedly."
"Chirp!"
"Yes, I have something for you to do. You are the uncrowned king in this mountain. Help me ask your friends why the imperial envoy was attacked?"
"This information about the enemy is too accurate. The two imperial envoys are not idlers. It is impossible not to be wary of ambushes, but they still fell into the trap. I am afraid there is something hidden in this."
"Chirp!" the little fox responded, jumped down from Su Ziji's arms, and walked away from the hole he drilled out.
"There really is a hole. How was it dug?" Su Ziji hurriedly covered the hole with a chair. At this moment, the voice of a soldier sounded outside again: "Master Su, Mr. Cui, please come over."
If he hadn't just come back, why was he summoned again? Su Ziji was startled.
At the same time, Qian Zhidong frowned when he returned to the main account. He had originally relaxed, but on the way back, he couldn't help but think about it again.
At this time, the sky was dark, but the other staff members had dispersed. Only Jian Qu was still under the lamp. Although Qian Zhidong was deep in thought, he still teased: "You are over forty. You are an older person who has traveled dozens of miles." , If you don’t rest, what are you still thinking about?”
"Commander!" Jian Qu didn't pay attention to Qian Zhidong coming in. When he heard the question, he stood up quickly: "I'm thinking, even if the villagers are fighting, they still need food, grass, weapons, and information. The mountains are surrounded by water, why are they still here? Does the enemy chief still have food, grass, and ordnance available?"
"You know, a knife can be used as long as it is sharpened, but as for arrows, the arrows may become bent after being shot a few times and must be repaired in the workshop. Why do they have new arrows?"
"The most important thing is that the two imperial envoys advanced too rashly, but this short-term mistake can be made up for as long as the army keeps up. The gap between them is only one or two hours. Why can the enemy chief seize the opportunity? Is it possible that there is something else? clairvoyance?"
Qian Zhidong listened to the first half with no expression on his face, but after listening to the second half, his pupils flashed with gloomy light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, this general is also confused. I have seized opportunities many times, but the enemy chief You can always predict the enemy beforehand. Is there a traitor? Is it Qin Fengliang who is causing trouble? "
Jian Qu frowned: "Commander, that's wrong. Several times we took action, but we still avoided Qin Fengliang. He shouldn't know our plan!"
Qian Zhidong walked a few steps with his hands behind his back when he saw someone coming in and said, "Go and pass on my order to strengthen the supervision of Qin Fengliang."
Waiting to go out, he said: "Mr. Jian, I don't care about this in advance. Tell me about the imperial envoy's reaction. Are you trying to trick me?"
After saying that, he recounted the conversation and scene just now and asked, "What do you think?"
When Jian Qu heard this, his heart trembled with shock and cold sweat suddenly broke out. He looked at the commander and felt the danger. After thinking about it, he said: "Commander, I really have a grudge against you. Why don't they take advantage of this moment? After all, you Having pleaded guilty, I can completely take advantage of the situation.”
"Since I didn't do this, I comforted you, Commander-in-Chief, which means that you immediately rescued them and eliminated most of their suspicions."
"They probably don't want to start internal strife at the critical moment of the war."
"But it seems a little too easy to get through. Am I being paranoid?" This was a reasonable and polite statement, but Qian Zhidong still frowned, feeling really uneasy.
