Han Changmu tilted his head and looked at Yao Yao for a moment. Seeing that she looked a little nervous, he couldn't help but sneered: "Why, apart from these, Yao Canjun doesn't know anything else?"
Yao Yao was speechless for a while, complaining in her heart. She could never have guessed that Han Changmu would ask such a thing. She and Jin Zhong were really not familiar with each other. What Han Changmu wanted to know, she was afraid of being blamed if she told too little, and she was afraid of making mistakes if she told too much. .
But Han Changmu knew very well that Yao Yao came from the Forbidden Army, and if he was not familiar with these three words, he would not be able to get through it no matter what.
Yao Yao was frightened for a while, and a strong sense of crisis that she had never felt before tightly gripped her mind.
Moreover, now that things had happened, she couldn't help but begin to suspect that Han Changmu was either making things difficult for her or testing her.
Where did she reveal her flaw and violate Han Changmu's taboo? How could she still be so ignorant!
She felt a little bit creepy, pursed her lips, and said with difficulty: "This is all I know for a humble job, why don't you tell me carefully, what do you want to hear?"
Hearing this, Han Changmu couldn't help but be startled. Yao Yao had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. No matter whether he was justified or not, he would never be soft-spoken. How often had he ever talked to someone in such a low voice?
Gu Chen and He Zhenfu also looked at Yao Yao in surprise, wanting to rush up and open her mouth to see if her tongue had been removed.
Yao Yao seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and glared at Gu Chen and He Zhenfu: "Why, I'm not like you, the best at figuring out your intentions. I'm an honest person, so I won't say anything." She turned to look at Xiang Han Changmu said pitifully: "Your Excellency, this is all I know, and I have told you all. However, your Excellency is still dissatisfied and feels that I have something to hide. I have no choice but to ask your Majesty what you want to know, so I can surrender." It's up to the adults to say what they want to hear.
Gu Chen and He Zhenfu were even more surprised. These words sounded aggrieved and pitiful, let alone something that Yao Yao could say with his sharp mouth.
After hearing this, Han Changmu calmed down. He didn't know what he thought of. He took a deep look at Yao Yao, and a smile suddenly appeared on his gloomy face: "Yao Canjun is so considerate. He has a guilty conscience. Already?"
Yao Yao looked at Han Changmu who seemed to be smiling, but actually had a gloomy and deep expression, and felt something bad in his heart.
Complaining like this does not help the matter, but actually pushes the matter to a more dangerous edge.
She opened her mouth but was speechless.
Han Changmu looked at Yao Yao and smiled deeply. He was supposed to pursue the victory, but suddenly changed his subject: "I heard from Gu Chen that you sent me a letter from a flying slave the night before. I wonder what you wrote?"
"Didn't your Excellency receive it?" Yao Yao exclaimed in surprise, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I just reported the situation at Yuhua Mountain that night to Your Majesty, and didn't write anything important. Even if the letter was lost, it wouldn't be What kind of trouble will it cause, otherwise the humble position will really be irredeemable."
Her words were humble, her expression of surprise didn't seem to be fake, and there was no flaw for a moment.
Han Changmu didn't go into details. He just said "hmm" vaguely and waved his hand: "Since Yao Canjun and Commander Jin are not familiar with each other," he paused slightly and changed the topic suddenly: "Then Yao Canjun went to freshen up and change. Wear official uniforms and go with me to see Commander Jin later.”
Hearing this, Yao Yao said "Ah" in shock. He never expected such a result, nor did he expect that Han Changmu would be so unexpected.
Han Changmu smiled, and his smile was treacherous: "Go ahead, we'll set off in a moment."
This was an offer that could not be refused, so Yao Yao withdrew in despair.
The deserted yard was covered with mottled tree shadows. On a windless afternoon, the tree shadows remained motionless, as if they were carved on neat blue bricks.
Looking at the quiet courtyard, Han Changmu felt a little heavy and asked Gu Chen thoughtfully: "Mr. Gu Qi, when did Yao arrive at Yuhua Mountain on the day he joined the army?"
"I remember it was almost dawn," Gu Chen pinched his fingers and thought for a moment, "Yes, it was around one quarter of the year, and it was almost dawn."
He Zhenfu also nodded beside him: "Humble job
When I saw Yao joining the army, it was already dawn and it was this hour. "
Han Changmu felt strange. If he dared to arrive at this hour, then Yao Yao's horse speed would not be called fast.
For ordinary people to travel this way, this time may be ordinary, but it is definitely not Yao Yao's speed.
She has excellent riding skills and can fight with the Turks on horseback without falling behind. She can never be so slow on the road.
The situation was urgent at that time, and it was even more impossible for her to delay deliberately.
This is totally not her way of doing things.
Han Changmu felt more and more strange, his eyes narrowed, and his voice was as cold as the wind: "When Yao Canjun arrived, was there anything unusual?"
"Abnormal," Gu Chen was full of doubts: "What do you mean, sir?"
Han Changmu looked solemn and said calmly: "The clothes, the bun, the aura, the expression, and..." He paused slightly and said, "Are there any signs of being attacked?"
Gu Chen's expression changed, and he looked at each other with He Zhenfu, and said eagerly: "She seemed to be in a hurry when she came, her breath was a little unsteady, and there was nothing else that could be seen." He gritted his teeth and continued: " I have seen the horse that Yao Canjun rode, and it is indeed a horse from the Department of Internal Security, and the horse showed no signs of being frightened."
Nothing unusual is to be expected.
If someone really did something, they would have to go to great lengths to cover it up afterwards, and it would not be so easy for others to see through the flaws.
And Yao Yao should have the ability to make people unable to see any flaws for a moment.
Thinking of this, Han Changmu's heart moved and he said "hmm" expressionlessly.
Seeing Han Changmu's silence, Gu Chen and He Zhenfu looked at each other, with sadness in their eyes and uneasiness in their hearts.
When you work in a place like the Department of Internal Security, you can recover if your job fails, but if you lose the trust of your boss, you will be thrown into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Doubt will always be with you, and it will never come out.
After a moment of silence, He Zhenfu couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you still think there is something wrong with Yao joining the army?"
Han Changmu's eyes were deep, and he slowly swept across the faces of the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Whether she is suspicious or not depends on how she acted, not what I think!" He paused slightly, and there was a hint of emphasis in his words. The meaning is particularly obvious: "You must also remember that when serving in the Internal Security Department, you are not afraid of mediocrity, only afraid of double-mindedness! If you are disloyal once, you will not be tolerated a hundred times!"
Gu Chen and He Zhenfu were shocked, and they both said yes, and they didn't dare to ask for Yao Yao's favor any more.
Not even a moment later, there were footsteps outside. Han Changmu stretched out his sleeves, stood up suddenly, and said solemnly: "Let's go, Mr. He Qi and Yao Canjun will go with me to see Commander Jin. Mr. Gu will stay at the Internal Security Department."
Yao Yao stood outside the door, leaning slightly, watching Han Changmu and He Zhenfu walk out. She turned her head and took a deep look at Gu Chen. Seeing that Gu Chen looked normal, she felt relieved and followed Han Changmu. .
There are so many Beiya Imperial Guards that they occupy a large area at the foot of the mountain. The campus is extremely spacious. Flags are flying on one side of the campus, and swords, guns, swords and halberds are neatly arranged. They flash with a dazzling cold light in the sun, which contains a lot of meaning. Endless killing intent.
The terrain of this campus is extremely high. Standing on the high campus, you can see far into the distance, and you can see the rows of courtyard houses at the foot of the mountain.
By building the Bei Ya Forbidden Army's garrison at the foot of the mountain, echoing the Interior Guard's garrison on the mountainside, most of the houses in Yuhua Mountain can be put under surveillance.
When Han Changmu and his two men arrived, Jin Zhong was watching many forbidden troops training on the high school grounds. After someone announced the drill, he hurriedly came out to greet them.
"Lord Han is here, and you will be welcomed from afar or not welcomed from afar." Jin Zhong, with a simple and honest smile on his face, hurried down the stone steps to meet Han Changmu and his party.
The commander of the Imperial Guards in Beiya is a military general of the fourth rank, while the Commander of the Imperial Guard is a civil servant of the second rank. Although in terms of rank, the Commander of the Imperial Guards in Beiya is lower than the commander of the Imperial Guard, the commander of the Imperial Guard is the emperor. He is a close guard, but the envoy of the Internal Guard Department is a foreign minister.
In Emperor Yong'an's heart, it can be seen that who is close and who is distant.
How could Han Changmu really accept Jin Zhong's gift? He hurriedly returned the gift: "Golden Finger"
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. "
Jin Zhong smiled naively: "Why don't you bother me? I was planning to go see the Chief Minister today."
The two exchanged a few words, and Han Changmu walked forward while introducing the two mute people standing behind him.
"Commander Jin, this is Mr. He Qi from the Internal Security Department, and this is Yao Canjun from the Jingzhao Mansion." Han Changmu said calmly, looking at Jin Zhong's expression quietly.
Yao Yao and He Zhenfu both saluted Jin Zhong.
Jin Zhong laughed loudly: "I know, I know, you two don't have to be polite. Although I have never met Mr. He, I have heard about the prestige of Mr. He. As for Yao joining the army, we banned the army."
What Han Changmu saw on Jin Zhong's face was a magnanimous smile, but on the contrary, he saw a fleeting look of shock on Yao Yao's face.
Weirdness arose in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't figure out where Yao Yao's shocked look came from.
As the group walked towards the meeting hall, He Zhenfu secretly looked at Jin Zhong.
It is said that Commander Jin is only in his mid-twenties, but looking at his appearance, some people believe that he is forty-five or six years old.
His face was dark and rough, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. There were fine wrinkles on his face, as if he had been weathered, and the traces of time were engraved on his face.
What makes him even more old-fashioned is his beard that covers his entire lower jaw.
He Zhenfu looked back and clicked his tongue. They all said that saints are the most important. But with such an honorable commander of the Forbidden Army hanging in front of his eyes every day, how could the saint endure it?
It can be seen that the rumors are not credible.
Jin Zhong seemed to see the fleeting surprise on Han Changmu's face. He stroked his beard and chuckled: "The general is a rough man and scared the envoy."
Han Changmu burst into laughter: "The commander is too polite. I also fought hard on the battlefield. How could I be frightened? Rumors say that the commander is a very honest and straightforward person. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
Jin Zhong laughed and said, "You are so honest and forthright. Sir, don't expect the general to be so flattering. They are clearly saying that the general is stupid."
Han Changmu suddenly felt good about this commander who looked rough but was actually extremely clear and careful. He smiled and said, "The commander is too modest. Some people look smart, but they are really stupid."
Jin Zhong laughed loudly: "What you said is very true. Some people also said something similar to the general, saying that they are all foxes with thousands of years. They can smell the arrogance from eight miles away. It's not true that they don't smell it. Pretending to be stupid means your nose is sick."
Han Changmu was stunned and suddenly laughed out loud. He felt that these words were particularly interesting and reasonable, but they were also very familiar.
He asked thoughtfully: "This person's words are really interesting. I would like to get to know him."
Jin Zhong didn't think about it carefully and blurted out with a smile: "This is easy to handle. This person is now serving under the Commander-in-Chief."
Han Changmu and He Zhenfu looked at each other and asked in surprise: "What did Commander Jin say?"
Jin Zhong turned to point at Yao Yao and laughed loudly: "This is Yao Canjun from Jingzhao Mansion. Isn't she in the Department of Internal Security now?"
Han Changmu was stunned.
And Yao Yao was equally astonished as him.
Han Changmu did not miss the change in Yao Yao's expression, and asked with a meaningful smile: "Why, don't you remember what Yao Canjun said?"
"..." Yao Yao pursed his lips, his mind whirled, and he chuckled: "It seems that in the future, I will record everything I have said in a book, so as not to take the blame for those sharp-tongued people."
Jin Zhong pointed at Yao Yao and burst into laughter: "Have you noticed, Sir, that she is a venomous person herself and dislikes others for being sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. Speaking of which, Leng Shaoyin is not less angry with her. Si Shi Your Majesty has got rid of such a scourge, and Leng Shaoyin can laugh out of his dreams this time."
Yao Yao curled his lips and snorted, but said nothing.
Han Changmu had a smile on his face and was secretly amazed in his heart. He knew that Yao Yao was from the Beiya Forbidden Army and must have known Jin Zhong, but he did not expect that Yao Yao and Jin Zhong were so familiar with each other that they could talk and laugh casually.
He pretended
His face was astonished: "Yao Canjun can still joke? You honestly didn't say a word in front of me."
"..." Yao Yao simply didn't know whether to believe Han Changmu's words.
Hearing this, He Zhenfu twitched his lips and secretly slandered Han Changmu.
Pretending, pretending again, I don’t know who it is that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven because of Yao Yao’s anger all day long!
Jin Zhong didn't know much about the affairs in the Internal Security Department, and he didn't expect that Han Changmu was trying to trick him. He looked at Yao Yao and said with a hearty smile: "This girl is just a little fox. She is talking to the Secretary-General. If you’re not familiar with her, you’ll know when you’re familiar with her. She’s so naughty, and the fact that she’s alive today without being beaten to death is all because of her luck!”
"..." These words were simply unacceptable. Yao Yao shrank his neck and tried to reduce his presence.
He Zhenfu nodded in agreement.
She had such a cunning and mean mouth, but she was still alive today without being beaten to death, not because she was lucky, but because they couldn't beat her! Han Changmu was even more surprised, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "It seems that Commander Jin is very familiar with Yao Yao."
Jin Zhong was completely unaware of the probing meaning in Han Changmu's words, and laughed: "Are you not familiar with her? She was young when she joined the Forbidden Army. She was so thin that she could be blown over by a gust of wind. Even the generals despised her to death. If it weren't for the She is tough, stubborn and can endure hardships, so the general has sent her back to Yeting long ago."
Han Changmu concealed the strange look in his eyes, looked at Yao Yao, and said with a meaningful smile: "But Yao joined the army and said he was not familiar with Commander Jin."
Yao Yao had already sensed something was wrong when she heard Jin Zhongjiang recounting old things. When she heard Han Changmu say this, her heart suddenly sank, her lips curled up, but she didn't say a word.
Jin Zhong was surprised. He looked at Yao Yao with a troubled face and laughed out loud: "Hey, the sun is rising in the west today. First he said that he was not familiar with me, but now he is being squeezed and said nothing. Ah Yao Have you changed your gender?"
"..." Yao Yao neither retreated nor retreated. His face was a little pale. Under the sun, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of heat or urgency.
Han Changmu has already understood that Jin Zhong is not just a simple colleague to Yao Yao, but has a deep feeling of protection.
This kind of love and intimacy cannot be faked, nor can it be hidden.
The words will be revealed unabashedly.
Han Changmu couldn't help but feel suspicious.
What kind of relationship can produce such intimacy and love?
But looking at Yao Yao's expression, she seemed to be secretive about this relationship and tried her best to avoid it, but she didn't know why.
Han Changmu looked at Yao Yao deeply, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of an incredible possibility. In order to avoid disturbing the situation, he did not continue to test the situation, but instead talked about the defense of the hunting ground.
The defense of hunting grounds is a serious concern for Jin Zhong, and it is the urgent matter that worries him the most right now. Even if Han Changmu doesn't mention it, Jin Zhong will mention it after a few gossips. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Speaking of Regarding this matter, I would also like to ask Your Majesty the Secretary to move to a side hall."
A group of people walked in and saw a huge sand table in the middle of the side hall. The sand table was full of mountains and hills. It was dotted with courtyards and clumps of mountains and forests. The position was almost the same as that in Yuhua Mountain. It was actually made of mercury. The rivers and streams meandering through the mountains.
The whole sand table is lifelike, exquisite and breathtaking.
Han Changmu didn't think that this sand table was so special. It was exquisite, but it was far less majestic than the sand table he made when he was marching on Jiannan Road.
Jin Zhong took the long sword, pointed at a place in Yuhua Mountain, and said in a deep voice: "The hunting ground is here, with a radius of tens of thousands of hills. Among them," the long sword trembled lightly, and pointed at one of the mountains with high mountains and dense forests, which was particularly special. Deep and secluded place: "Among the tens of thousands of people here, tigers, leopards, bears and other fierce beasts often appear, and there are few people."
Han Changmu's face was solemn and his brows were furrowed: "This hunting ground is vast and the terrain is complex. It is indeed difficult to set up defenses. Even a small oversight may lead to catastrophe."
Jin Zhong's honest and honest face was filled with sorrow: "That's right. It was just a few years ago. Those who hunted were all from the imperial court.
My generals, this year is different. The two princes and envoys from Tubo and Tuyuhun are here. The hunting must not only enhance the prestige of our country, but also not let the two princes and envoys get into trouble. This scale is really difficult to set. "
Han Changmu thought: "How many imperial troops does Commander Jin still have available?"
Jin Zhong has been worrying about the shortage of manpower in the past few days. He is already familiar with the number of the Forbidden Army. He said solemnly: "Excluding the Forbidden Army stationed in the palace and at the foot of the mountain, there are less than three thousand people."
Han Changmu's heart sank. There were less than three thousand people, and it was indeed a bit stretched to arrange them in a hunting ground with a radius of more than ten square meters.
He thought about it: "What was Commander Jin's original plan?"
Jin Zhong said without any concealment: "The general originally planned to send two hundred forbidden troops to follow the two golden princes on the day of the hunt to see what else they could do!"
Han Changmu was dumbfounded: "This is not a bad idea."
Jin Zhong stroked his bun and smiled naively: "Sir, please don't make fun of me. The general is stupid and can only come up with such a stupid idea." He said cheerfully: "Sir, you have a good brain. I’ll definitely be able to come up with a perfect solution.”
Han Changmu smiled.
Why did he feel so close to the honest Jin Zhong?
He Zhenfu poked Yao Yao and lowered his voice and said, "Hey, Yao, Commander Jin is quite cute."
Yao Yao trembled obviously, looked up at He Zhenfu, and said "Ah" in confusion: "What did you say?"
He Zhenfu squinted his eyes, looked at Yao Yao carefully, and shook his head: "I didn't say anything."
Yao Yao said "Oh" and looked at the sand table with his big and dull apricot eyes, gradually falling into a trance.
Han Changmu didn't notice Yao Yao's strange behavior. He concentrated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If we really send two hundred forbidden troops to follow those two princes, I'm afraid they will misunderstand our court's good intentions and damage our country's national prestige."
Jin Zhong was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded repeatedly thinking that it was true.
Isn't it? Everyone goes out hunting together to compete with each other to see who can hunt more prey. Now a group of forbidden soldiers are sent to follow them. Those who know are to protect them, but those who don't know think they are here to create obstacles. Why? The best thing is to let them return empty-handed.
If they really return empty-handed, they will probably feel that Dajing Chao has a villainous heart and cannot afford to lose.
But if they return with a full load, they might think that the Dajing Dynasty is just a bunch of people with nothing to lose, and they will start to look down upon it.
Jin Zhong thought at first that his idea was good once and for all, but now that he thought about it, it was not an idea at all. He was clearly handing a knife out, hoping that others would stab him to death quickly.
He was so frightened that he held Han Changmu's hand and said gratefully, "Sir Shi Shi is really smarter than a rough guy like Mo General. When it comes to setting up defenses in the hunting ground, Mo General completely relies on Sir Shi Shi."
Hearing this, He Zhenfu was a little confused.
He felt that Jin Zhong had dug a hole for his own chief minister and kicked him in the back.
Han Changmu looked calm, calmly took out his hand and said calmly: "It is the duty of the Internal Security Department to keep Yuhua Mountain safe, and we will definitely obey Commander Jin's orders."
He Zhenfu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Yes, our own Commander-in-Chief climbed out of the pit again, and then dragged Commander Jin in by the way.
good very good.
Jin Zhong seemed to have not heard the profound meaning of Han Changmu's words, and smiled honestly: "The general will do whatever the commander-in-chief tells me to do, without any hesitation."
