After Song Xin discovered that it was safe, he immediately came out of the bottle and rushed to Xiangyang.
The deserted village returned to calm, leaving only a few lonely tombs. From then on, no mortal in the world remembered the custom of Zuosang that had been passed down for thousands of years.
As soon as he entered the city, he went directly to the Dian School Office and found that the morale of the entire Dian School Office was a bit low. Upon inquiry, it was found that the school office was punished because of Lu Ying's escape.
"Master Hua, Song Xin is back from school."
"What? He's back. Let him in quickly." Hua Xin was overjoyed. He vaguely felt that Song Xin would bring him some surprising news.
After a while, Hua Xin looked at the head in the wooden box on the table and laughed.
"School Minister Song, do you know how much contribution you have made this time?"
Song Xin said: "Sir, I don't ask for promotion or wealth. I just ask that I don't punish my mother and sister because of Song Chou."
"Haha, don't worry. Captain Wei has already reminded me about this, and the documents have been delivered. Your mother-in-law and sister will not be harmed, and the local officials will take good care of them!"
"Thank you, sir!" Song Xin knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"On this trip, I also killed the Lu family's dead soldiers..." Song Xin then told the news about killing the Lu family's dead soldiers.
Hua Xin was stunned for a moment, then happily jumped up from the seat cushion, "Hahaha, why didn't you tell me earlier? The dead men of the Lu family have been fighting with our school office for a year, but we haven't been able to defeat them. Eradicate it, I will definitely report this to the Prime Minister. You go back first, Wei Duwei is also waiting for you."
This time Song Xin not only killed Lu Ying, but also almost killed all the dead soldiers trained by the Lu family for many years, which was equivalent to blinding the enemy's eyes. For the current war, this is great news. After Song Xin returned, Hua Xin immediately set off to Cao Cao's Xiangyang shogunate to report the matter.
.......
At Wei Tong's residence, the two were chatting about recent events. Especially when he heard the ferocity of the prison beast, Wei Tong couldn't help but take a breath. At this time, a junior official from the prime minister's office came to see Song Xin.
"What, the Prime Minister is going to see me so soon?" Song Xin also didn't expect that Cao Cao would see him soon after meeting Hua Xin.
"Can you wait until I take a shower and change clothes? These clothes all stink..." Song Xin scratched her head and said with some embarrassment.
The clerk smiled and said, "It's natural. The villain is waiting here."
Wei Tong came over, sniffed and said, "Haha, yes. You should go take a bath and change clothes before meeting the Prime Minister."
"You guys hurry up and fetch some water, and take some clean clothes to my brother's room." Wei Tong said to Zhang Hu and others outside. After a while, Song Xin cleaned up and changed clothes. The whole person seems to be more energetic.
Not long after, the two stood outside the Xiangyang County Sheriff's residence, waiting for the gatekeeper who had passed the message in to bring back the news.
"Brother, what does the Prime Minister want to tell me? I want to be prepared."
"The Prime Minister didn't summon me, so I can't accompany you in. I'm afraid he will ask about Jiang Ling and the Lu family. When he asks you, you must answer truthfully. Don't let him think you deceived him."
"Thank you, brother, for reminding me. Song Xin will remember it."
...
"Song Xin, the Prime Minister has asked you to come in." The doorman came out and said.
"No!" After saying that, he followed into the mansion.
"Oh, Song Xin, you're here." Cao Cao leaned on the couch, turned his head and glanced at Song Xin who was saluting on the ground, and then returned to a battle report.
Next to him there were several commanders and counselors who were busy with something. From the corner of his eye, Song Xin saw that among them were several important counselors such as Cheng Yu, Xun You and Jia Xu, each holding a volume of documents and reading them.
There was a fat young man in his twenties sitting next to Cao Cao, helping him deliver official documents and review them. Hua Xin was sitting at the foot of the steps to the left of Cao Cao and nodded slightly to Song Xin.
"Song Xin, the villain, pays homage to the Prime Minister."
Cao Cao said: "Well, the last time I saw him was about a month ago."
"The Prime Minister is busy with everything, but he still remembers Song Xin. I'm scared." Song Xin replied lying on the ground.
Cao Cao slowly turned around, leaned forward, stretched out his hand and handed over the battle report he had just read.
"Song Xin, look what this is."
When Cao Cao said this, several counselors nearby glanced at Song Xin inadvertently. Hua Xin was also stunned and a little confused. He knew what the battle report was, but he was a little worried.
Song Xin didn't know why and was a little surprised, but when he saw Cao Cao reaching out, Song Xin went over and took the battle report with both hands and stepped back.
But just as he was about to open it, he found two beautiful Chinese characters on it: "Secret Level".
When Song Xin saw these two words, it felt as if someone had carved a knife into his back, and his flesh tightened instantly.
Seeing these two words, he remembered what Lu Ying once said about the level of military reporting. Although Lu Ying was already dead, he saved Song Xin's life again at this time.
He quickly held the military report in both hands and said: "Prime Minister, this report is not for those who are above the generals of the Four Expeditions. If there is no special military order, the rest of them will be killed if they read it. Song Xin does not dare."
Cao Cao had been staring at Song Xin just now, and when he opened the battle report, his face gradually became grim. Then when Song Xin realized it, his expression immediately softened and he smiled again.
"Very good, the truth now allows you to read the contents." This time Cao Cao made the order very clear.
Hua Xin also realized the meaning of Cao Cao's actions just now, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He originally wanted to remind him, but when he saw that Song Xin found the seal and did not open it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He really didn't expect that Cao Cao would suddenly give a test question like this. If Song Xin hadn't been cautious enough just now and directly read the battle report with a "secret level" seal, I'm afraid he would have been dragged out and executed by now.
Hua Xin didn't understand what Cao Cao's intention was. Originally, the prime minister seemed very happy when he heard the news that Lu Ying and the dead members of the Lu family had been eradicated, but now he was so serious for some unknown reason.
After hearing the order, Song Xin slowly opened the battle report and read it carefully. Cao Cao did not urge him, but leaned back on the table and looked at Song Xin with his eyes.
"This is General Cao Ren's battle report, explaining the situation in Jiangling at this moment. General Xu Huang was ambushed by Guan Yu and lost hundreds of soldiers and more than a hundred horses. He asked the Prime Minister to send reinforcements quickly. The wounded soldiers in the city are now short of medical treatment and medicine. If If we don’t help each other, I’m afraid there will be a plague.”
"Moreover, General Cao was bluffing against the enemy. Zhou Yu didn't know what was going on in the city for a while, so he didn't dare to attack rashly. If the enemy intercepted this battle report, Jiangling would be in danger."
Song Xin thought to himself.
Cao Cao pointed at Song Xin and said, "Tell me, if you saw this battle report, how would you plan it?" Cao Cao stared at Song Xin.
Seeing Song Xin's hesitation, he added, "You can speak frankly."
Song Xin, like Hua Xin who was here, was confused, but in the end he calmed down and said, "Prime Minister...Song Xin has two strategies, long and short."
