Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 319 Fishing
Her voice was loud and clear, as if she was speaking deliberately for others to hear.

Zhang Xi knew it in his heart, and nodded in cooperation: "Since that's the case, it's a pity, sir, take care all the way."

"Have you received the farming notes copied by Situ's mansion? If not, I'll send someone to send it directly later." Song Yuan said silently: "Jiuquan is in a special situation, and it is impossible to develop farming. The only way is to supply food. In order to continue the lives of the people, but even so, you have to be self-sufficient. Mr. An said that you can use it, and it is good to collect an extra catty of grain. That's it."

Zhang Yun nodded earnestly: "My lord, I have written down the words of my lord. Don't worry, my lord, I will distribute them well. I just hope that the food can be delivered sooner. In this way, the common people can have a way to survive."

"Yes, the food will be delivered as soon as possible." Song Yuan promised, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

According to this situation, it is uncertain whether Song Ling will cause trouble when the food is delivered to Jiuquan.

They entered the house, before Zhang Yun entered the door, his gaze was deliberately slanted, and he glanced at the other two bright halls.

Jiuquan is remote and impoverished, and it is not a place where one can make political achievements at all. There is no hope of promotion.

And what they can come into contact with are these generals who were born as princes and are now knighted. As long as they have a chance to succeed, the fawning people can ascend to heaven. If the other party can climb to the throne, then they can leave this desperate situation in the wilderness. .

The lieutenant and the governor of Jiuquan had always been close to the commander-in-chief Song Ling. The two of them served Song Ling in front of and behind the horse, and almost praised Song Ling as the local emperor of Jiuquan. However, Zhang He did not give him this honor. The reason was simply that Song Ling had deducted the imperial court several times. People starved to death due to the food provided by the relief, and the entire responsibility was placed on Zhang He. The Situ Mansion even reprimanded Zhang He for this and criticized his poor political performance.

Even though he explained repeatedly, Situ Mansion never responded, which also made him have no hope of promotion in Jiuquan for ten years. No less looking for trouble.

Now that Song Yuan is here to inspect, he still comes to make trouble.

Zhang He had a premonition that he was going to be cleaned up. Thinking of this, Zhang He felt happy.

Whether in public or private, he hopes that Song Ling will be punished for the injustice he has suffered, and for those people who starved to death because of his embezzlement of food.

In the quiet night, Song Yuan sat cross-legged on the kang and checked his crossbow. When he was in the boat, he leaned on the kang at the other end of the room and took a nap. The guards were busy packing their luggage.

Wei Yan came in from outside, hesitated for a moment and walked over and asked, "Your Highness, let's take another route tomorrow."

"Why?" Song Yuan adjusted the crossbow and put the crossbow arrows into the quiver one by one.

"My subordinates are worried that something will happen." Wei Yan looked at the people in the room: "There are not many people coming out this time. If Ba Ye intentionally causes trouble for His Highness, my subordinates are worried that there will be accidents."

Others looked over and obviously had this worry too, even An Zhoushi opened his eyes and looked at her.

Song Ling has a small stomach, they have only been here for a day, and they have arranged for someone to watch them secretly. This obviously has other plans. If he is uneasy and kind, they will suffer too easily.

Song Yuan's business stopped temporarily: "What can the starling do? He wants to benefit from me, and he doesn't have the capital to negotiate with me. My own brother can eat alone, it’s not my fault that he won’t get anything here, if he’s more courageous and sells the news that I’m here, it might be worth a little.”

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Wei Yan came to her and said, "Jiuquan is a vast and sparsely populated area. There will definitely be no shortage of Xiongnu spies. His Highness's patrol has exposed his whereabouts. It's uncertain whether the Eighth Master is involved, but once If His Highness is in danger, he will never take action, so I ask Your Highness to take a detour to ensure safety."

Song Yuan looked serious: "Since his whereabouts have been exposed, no matter which way he goes, it is not safe. I am not afraid that he will not help, I am afraid that he will be confused."

Confused?Collude with the Huns?
Wei Yan's heart was shocked. He couldn't guarantee whether Song Ling was so bold, but everyone knew that Song Xi colluded with the Xiongnu, and it was hard to guarantee that Song Ling would follow suit. Yuan's whereabouts betrayed to the Xiongnu?
Wei Yan felt worried. He looked at Song Yuan and his mind was spinning rapidly.

In terms of status, His Majesty is really nothing worthy of the Xiongnu's concern. Even if they knew her whereabouts, the Xiongnu would not take any action.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan was relieved a lot.

"Although we are brothers, the relationship is very thin. If he is just making trouble, I don't need to pursue it. If he dares to sell my whereabouts to the Huns and put me in danger, I will definitely not let him have a good time." Song Yuan held up his hand. The bow and crossbow: "It has become a norm for the Huns to let loose riders come and go in and out of the Wei border to harass the people. This year, I can make it easier for them to get out of the way. What about next year? Their appetite will only get bigger and bigger. I I can't afford it, and I don't want to be threatened by others, I really hope that Song Ling will be more courageous and let me take advantage of it, so that I can make an example for myself in the future."

So, she purposely yelled at Zhang He today that she was going to Xihai County tomorrow, in order to lure the snake out of the hole?

Knowing her plan, Wei Yan and the others exchanged glances and stopped persuading her.

They are no strangers to taking personal risks, and only in such circumstances can they catch big fish. If Song Ling is innocent, he is not afraid of being caught. If he is not clean, he can't blame them for using tricks.

Early the next morning, when they set off, Zhang Yun offered to send them off, but Song Yuan refused. Zhang Yun had only a few government servants under his command, and if they were really in danger, they would just die in vain, and there was really no need to see them off.

They set off and rode their horses away in the direction of the rising sun. An Zhou also abandoned the ox cart and rode on the same horse with the guards. In the morning light, the horseshoes lifted up a trail of smoke and dust, without the cover of lush trees, the land was open Barely naked, they galloped over the hill and completely disappeared from the sight of the sentinels on the arrow tower outside the town.

Wei Yan walked in the forefront, he was always vigilant about his surroundings, there were no clear roads and signs on the wasteland, he had to lead the way, and he had to pay more attention to the possible dangers around him.

The horses were galloping all the way, and there were several fast horses that were also galloping not far away from them. The people on the horses were dressed in casual clothes and had excellent riding skills. They were not far or close, and it was impossible to see whether there was any malicious intention, but even so, The guards also became vigilant, and after a while, a group of people also caught up behind them, also dressed in civilian clothes, and followed closely at a distance from them.
