Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 100

Fortunately, this informant letter did not leak out.

But why did Wei Yao not contact her when she received the letter?
Is it because he feels that what she said in the letter needs to be verified, or is he worried that there will be another trouble after contacting her, so he plans to deal with the matter secretly?
Speculation is fruitless.

But Zheng Quchi is not a person who hesitates. Since she decided to take this step, she will not back down. She plans to stop at the gate of the camp and ask Weiyao herself.

After all, it has come.

The price she had to pay for taking the risk was not small.

However, many times things don't follow people's wishes.

Zheng Quchi waited at the gate of the camp until the sun set and the road was poor. It was almost night, but Weiyao was still nowhere to be seen.

Tired of standing, she squatted at the deer village, propped her chin with her hands, and stared at the passage in a daze. From the eyes of others, this appearance was very pitiful.

Seeing that she had waited for a long time, the guard couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward to persuade her when the guard was about to change.

In the past few days, Wei Jinwei has often returned with an uncertain date, and sometimes he will stay out overnight. If she really has something urgent to find him, why not leave a message, and he will ask the guard at night to convey it to her at that time.

Zheng Quchi stood up, her legs were numb from squatting, she inhaled "hissing" between her teeth, and waited for the soreness to pass before thanking the guard.

"Brother, just now I troubled you to search for someone in the camp for me. I don't have any message for brother Wei, but if he comes back, you should tell him that Sang Xuanqing came to look for him."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

"Oh, by the way, it's a rare trip. I participated in the construction of the camp with the carpenters recruited from Fuxian County. I saw that the wooden fence of the village wall seemed to have some unstable foundations, and there was no mud around it to prevent water leakage or enemy attacks. Fire attack, this is one of the hidden dangers, if I don't enter the camp, can I walk around the camp to check? I will write an improvement report and submit it to the general."

If someone else said this, the guard would think that the other party was talking nonsense or boasting, but the guard just knew that Sang Xuanqing was a carpenter, and not only was she responsible for many of the fortifications in the camp, but now the city wall is in charge. She also holds the position.

Therefore, he naturally would not suspect her ulterior motives.

"Well, that's okay. I'll go talk to the watchtower guards in a while. You go first, but be careful. There are many thorns and furs around here, which are easy to get hurt."

"Since the person can't be found, it's worthwhile to do some practical things." Zheng Quchi thanked him.

Zheng Quchi said so, but the real reason was that she couldn't just leave like this, otherwise, even if she had a mouth, she wouldn't be able to speak clearly.

She had to do one thing so that Ya would not suspect her true motives for coming to the camp.

Ya gave her two days on that day, and asked her to draw a detailed topographical map of the camp for him.

After some threats from him, she agreed.

This was the best reason she could find for coming out this trip.

She pretended to observe around the perimeter of the camp, and then ran to a high place to look at it. Because the guards made arrangements in advance, she was not arrested and interrogated as a suspicious person.

After she had finished her posture, she pretended to work overtime to make the topographical map of the camp that she wanted after she went back.

Of course, this topographic map is a fake that she specially processed.

She had indeed thought about being a double agent before, and being a grasshopper. In short, she didn't want to give up her little life so easily just after time travelling.

However, with the fermentation of certain things and the influence of these people around her, her mentality has also changed greatly from the beginning.

On the one hand, they are using and threatening her to the utmost, and on the other hand, apart from Yu Wensheng, the "Living Yama", who makes her afraid and want to avoid, the rest, including her husband-in-law Liu Fengmian, and those who treat her sincerely, make her uncomfortable. I am willing and unwilling to be a sophomore again.

They treated her with sincerity, and she wanted to return that sincerity.

Therefore, her heart has a bias, and she will no longer waver.

She decided that even if she became an enemy of the Mo family from now on, even if she had to bear the risk of betraying the Mo family, she would firmly stand in Ye Kingdom.

No, to be more precise, she was on Yu Wensheng's side.

She will not choose to betray just because of a verbal lure.

"Brother, Fengmian, play this game with me."

-

When Ya sneaked into Guijiao Ridge and successfully obtained the topographic map from Zheng Quchi, he opened it up and looked it over. At first glance, some layouts and locations were roughly in line with the direction he had imagined the intrusion into.

But after all, he sneaked in secretly, and he didn't know it well, so he was not sure about anything else.

"Are you sure that this topographic map of the camp is correct?" Ya asked her sideways.

Zheng Quchi looked very calm, she smiled: "What? Worried that I will draw a fake topographic map for you? Then you think too much, am I not afraid of death?"

For a while, Ya couldn't think of the reason why Zheng Quchi would betray him, but he still felt a little bit of concern about her previous attitude and changes in his heart.

"Zheng Quchi, you have to keep in mind that you shouldn't think that you can really erase your past after you sneaked into Ye and lived as an ordinary person for a few days. Except for the Mo family, no one will really accept a person like you. Careful work." The childish eyes warned her in a low voice.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Quchi accepted it well: "I see."

After Ya left, Zheng Quchi slowly raised his eyes, staring at the erratic flames.

"I'm afraid you don't know, Yu Wencheng already knew that I am the master of the Mo family, Mu Shu, Wei Yao and Liu Fengmian, those craftsmen who work with me, they will all accept a brand new me, I am no longer Zheng Quchi from the Mo family, I will only be Zheng Quchi from the Sang family in Fu County."

As long as he disappears completely, her identity will not be revealed, and her secret will always be just a secret.

-

After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the weather in Ye country began to change suddenly and intensified the chill. It seems that there will be a heavy snowfall in the near future.

This may be the last snow of this winter.

On the seventeenth, hope.

In the hazy sky, the weather that looks like clouds but not clouds, fog and not fog appears near Guijialing, and the sky is also gray from morning to night.

Zheng Quchi was standing at the Weilan station. For some reason, she had been in a state of anxiety and tension these days, as if something unexpected would happen to her.

She suddenly remembered her artisan rating.

Obviously Uncle Mu said that the results would be brought to her after the end of the year, but she never received any news.

There is also Wei Yao, who has not heard a single word in the past few days, and even the girl has disappeared.

Her surroundings were blurred, she couldn't see her fingers, and she couldn't see what the final result would be.

In the end, whether Ya can successfully rescue Qiu, maybe, because of her informant, he will be invited into the urn by Yu Wensheng and become the same as Qiu.

Someone from below shouted upwards: "Sang Gong, Qi Gong asked you to go and have a look at the coupon door, saying that the frame seems not strong enough, and he also found that some of the blue bricks did not have the maker's name engraved on them. Do not use it?"

Because Zheng Quchi once strictly stipulated that every stone and every blue brick used on the city wall must be marked with the person who handled it. In this way, the responsibilities are implemented layer by layer and a quality tracking system is formed, which can effectively prevent people from being lazy and profiting from it. .

When Zheng Quchi heard this, he hurried down from the top: "Who is responsible for the purchase and transportation? Why not use the northern stone blue bricks that were commonly used before?"

The stonemason who passed on the message was also helpless: "I heard that the replacement of bricks was arranged by people in the county, and they were also transported to Guijiaoling. I don't know who handled this matter. We have to investigate. When these craftsmen were still moving bricks, they found something was wrong, so Qigong sent me to call you over to discuss it."

Zheng Quchi let go of the stone that weighed on his heart for the time being, and first focused on the immediate fortifications.

As soon as Qi Gong saw her coming, he hurriedly led her to have a look at this batch of green brick materials.

Zheng Quchi strode forward, took a few steps forward to lift off the tarpaulin covering it, and then stared intently at the green bricks.

No, these are not green bricks fired with the technique she taught, but low-quality fired bricks made by cutting corners.

She stepped forward and grabbed a piece vigorously before breaking it off. The sparse gap and the crunchy feeling that the water content did not meet the standard made her angry burn into the depths of her eyes. She let go of her hand and put it under her feet. Stepped into powder.

"This batch of bricks can't be used anymore, so they can be returned wherever they come from!"

At this time, a group of people rushed over from the other side, led by a worker and several stonemasons.

The worker, surnamed Bai, waved his hand and stopped other people from carrying them: "No, this batch of bricks was sent after being ordered by the county magistrate, and it complies with the conditions and procedures. How can you do it casually?" If you say no, don’t want to return it? Who will be responsible for the loss?”

Zheng Quchi saw that the visitor surnamed Bai was not friendly, so he didn't answer his words, but said: "The county magistrate is busy with many things, maybe it has nothing to do with the county magistrate, it's just that some irresponsible person under him did something wrong. If you dare not go, let me go."

Officer Bai Gong stopped her, and said in a vicious tone: "Sang Xuanqing, don't think that if someone calls you Sang Gong respectfully, you are really our boss. You can't decide this matter. This batch of bricks today It must be used."

At this time, Zheng Quchi was completely irritated by him: "How do you use it?"

She pushed him away, casually picked up a piece from the pile of bricks, and then slammed it on the ground in front of everyone, and it shattered into cinders.

"Look at it, with this quality, just this kind of brick, how many times do you think it can withstand the wind and rain, and how many times it can withstand the enemy's impact and blown up?"

Bo Gongguan was shocked by her hand, and suddenly fell silent.

Zheng Quchi inspected him and the people behind him with cold eyes.

"Do you know that this is the strongest line of defense that our Fu County has erected from now on? There are some things that I don't need to say, you should all know how many times we have expeled and deployed defenses against nomadic barbarians over the years. The measures have had little effect, and how much financial resources and human lives have been lost, have you calculated it?"

These nomadic barbarians have always sent small groups of cavalry without warning to plunder the surrounding areas of Ye Kingdom. Due to the wide range of borders, in many cases, the defenders cannot predict which direction these nomadic barbarians' cavalry will march.

In addition, the cavalry of the nomadic barbarians will leave quickly after looting the property and women of the people, and they are not interested in fighting, so it is difficult for the defenders to rush to rescue in time.

This is the original intention and purpose of building the city wall of Ye Kingdom.

Over the past few years, due to the damage and destruction of the surrounding city walls, coupled with years of disrepair, the deployment of defenses in extensive areas has gone out of control, which has also made these nomadic barbarians even more arrogant and complacent, thinking that Fu County is powerless to take them.

And now she filled all the previous omissions and vacant positions with the attrition line, and re-established an indestructible line of defense, preventing them from having any chance to invade.

Even if it is an invasion, you must be aware of paying a huge price for it.

Some fellow craftsmen behind Bo Gongguan said nonchalantly, "Do you still need to talk about these things?"

Zheng Quchi laughed, full of sarcasm: "So, since even a three-year-old child understands something, why do you still do such immoral things? You dirty this life-saving money, shoddy it, have no intentions Who will be the last victim and victim?"

Seeing that all the truth covered under the fig leaf was unreservedly torn apart by Zheng Quchi, their faces turned blue and black.

"It's you, your family, your homeland, and your country! Just for such a small amount of money, is it worth it?" She asked them loudly.

Seeing that many people were attracted by her voice, Bai Gongguan hurriedly stopped: "Don't talk nonsense here!"

Official Baigong rushed over furiously, and raised his fist to punch Zheng Quchi, but was blocked by Qi Gong beside him.

"Officer Bai Gong, what are you going to do?!" Qi Gong glared at him.

The veins on Bai Gongguan's forehead were throbbing: "What are you doing? I want to teach her a lesson! Let go!"

Naturally, Qi Gong couldn't just watch Sang Xuanqing being beaten by Bai Gongguan, so the two started fighting.

At this time, Qi Gong's helpers and Bai Gongguan's people joined in together, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Although Zheng Quchi hid behind Qi Gong, he would still accidentally be affected by him, and the corner of his mouth would be hit, cracking the mouth.

Hey!
Deception is too much!
It is said that this officer Bai Gong is the county magistrate's nephew, for this reason, she has tolerated him again and again, and now, she really can't bear it anymore.

She waved her delicate fists, intending to punish him, but from the corner of her eye, she inadvertently glanced at the mountain-shaded bend not far away, and saw an unbelievable scene.

She saw a group of wolf-like cavalry attacking towards Guijiaoling. She recognized the cavalry's body and equipment, and her eyes were in a daze, as if returning to the ruthless massacre not long ago.

Her teeth interlocked, and they creaked.

It's You, Mu, Man, Zi!

It's these slaughterers!
But why, why are they here again today?What about Yu Wensheng?Did he pretend to travel today, or has he already gone to the western grassland to inspect the border?

"Quick, run! The nomadic barbarians are coming!"

She suddenly yelled sharply and hissed, which directly stunned everyone.
