Chapter 45 Unexpected Gifts
In the battle inside the city, the enemy army retreated, and the people were all happy. They all praised Yuan Hongjin's plan as a god, but Yuan Hongjin's face was not half happy, and his brows were wrinkled and worried all day long.

The Great Zhou Kingdom has a vast land and rich resources, picturesque scenery, and a comfortable life. Except for a few small countries that have surrendered, other countries have been spying on them for a long time, and they all want to defeat the Great Zhou Kingdom and make them bow their heads.Although Linjiang City is far away from the capital, it is an important place in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Half of the heavy troops of the Great Zhou Kingdom are placed here to prevent the enemy from attacking at any time.

In the past three years, people from Shenghui Kingdom and other countries often disguised themselves and tried to sneak into the city to spy on everything, but they were all discovered and captured by the guards. I don't know.

As a general of an army, he couldn't bear the blame, and ten days had passed since the battle that night, but every time he thought about it, he still felt terrified.That day he saw the totem belonging to the warriors of the Tianxu Kingdom, so he went to the Fortune Inn in person, but he didn't see the people of the Tianxu Kingdom, instead, he heard the conspiracy of the Wumeng Kingdom.

"General..." Sang Ming walked into the tent hesitantly.

"Have you found out who that person is?" Yuan Hongjin stood in front of the window of the tent and looked at the patrolling soldiers outside, frowning deeply, without turning his head.

Sang Ming replied, "This subordinate is not good at work, please punish me, General." After finishing speaking, he lifted his clothes, folded his fists and knelt down on one knee.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, get up." The frown deepened a little, Yuan Hongjin turned around and said, "Continue to investigate until this person is found out. But this matter is of great importance. Don't mention it to anyone?"

Sang Ming was taken aback for a moment, "Aren't the military advisers and lieutenant generals not mentioning it?"

"What I just said was not clear enough?" Yuan Hongjin stared at Sang Ming, his eyes suddenly sharp, "Or do you want me to say it again?"

Sang Ming stared blankly, cupped his fists and said, "I swear, no one will know about this except me."

"Okay, you go down first. Wait, treat those surrendered soldiers well, and tell others not to make things difficult for them at will." After thinking for a while, Yuan Hongjin said again, "Try to continue to start with those people, maybe you can find out something. information."

Sang Ming took the order and turned to go out.

I don't know anything about it, except that I learned from those surrendered soldiers that they disguised themselves as merchants and sneaked into Linjiang City three months ago with fake documents, and waited for time while inquiring about the military situation, so that they could take down Linjiang City through cooperation. Make sure there are spies in their army. .The defense of Linjiang City has always been strict, and it became even worse after he took over. This time, the Wumeng people had been blatantly operating in the city for three months under his nose.

"Brother, who do you think that person will be?" Yuan Hongjin walked over, poured a bowl of tea, sat down beside him, and drank it down.

Yuan Hongyi continued to stare at the book in his hand as if he hadn't heard it, but his handsome eyebrows slowly moved closer. After a while, he raised his head and looked at him, "Except for the previous soldiers, everyone else is suspicious, including you and me. You have to investigate this matter carefully, so as not to wrong the innocent."

Don't look at Yuan Hongjin's informality on a daily basis, but he is as meticulous as dust in major matters, so he naturally grasped the key point in Yuan Hongyi's words, "You seem to know who that person is?"

Yuan Hongyi glanced outside the tent, dipped his index finger in some water, and wrote a word on the table.Yuan Hongjin was taken aback, then shook his head again and again, "Impossible, impossible, anyone could be a spy, except him. If it wasn't for him, three years ago..."

"Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, painting the skin of a tiger is difficult to paint the bones." Yuan Hongyi said quietly, "Don't forget how he came to the military camp back then."

Looking back on the appearance of that person and the troubles that followed, it seems that there are indeed many doubts.Yuan Hongjin nodded himself, "I will pay attention to this matter. But this time it is thanks to my sister-in-law. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I would really feel ashamed of the people of Linjiang City."

Yuan Hongyi curled his lips into a smile, closed the book and put it aside, and said lazily, "Hearing you say that, it seems that you want to thank her well."

It's time to thank my sister-in-law.If it weren't for my sister-in-law, Linjiang City would be in jeopardy.Yuan Hongjin leaned closer and said seriously, "Brother, do you know what my sister-in-law likes?"

"It's you who wants to thank her, how to thank her, you can find a way to do it yourself." Yuan Hongyi drank half a bowl of tea that had already cooled down, got up and went straight outside.

Ever since she learned how to play chess, Rue Xiang has been completely fascinated. As long as Bai Ziwan is free, she will involuntarily pull her to play chess together. Children who didn't grow up.

This day, when Bai Ziwan woke up to take a nap, when she saw Yunxiang sitting at the table with her hands propped up, and blinking at herself, she knew that she was 'doomed'.

"master……"

"Ruxiang, playing chess is for passing the time. Don't you feel bored when you play chess every day?" Bai Ziwan avoids Ruxiang's hand, puts on her own clothes, walks to the table and pours a cup of hot tea, "Liu What about Auntie and Xiao He, have they all gone out?"

"Four days will be New Year's Eve. Aunt Liu said to go and see what Mr. Mo and the others need, so that I can buy for them..."

Bai Ziwan didn't listen to what Yunxiang said later, but just stared blankly at one place, time flies, she has been here for three years.Looking back on the experience of the past three years, there are helplessness, sadness, resignation, but more joy.

"That's right, you haven't told me where Xiao He is yet." Gathering his senses, Bai Ziwan looked at Yun Xiang. Xiao He has always been mysterious these days, leaving early and returning late, so he doesn't know what he is up to.

"How does this servant know where he's going, and this servant is not her mother." Yun Xiang pursed her lips, and then she put on a flattering face, "I want to play chess even more when I'm tired. Didn't the master say that playing chess can improve one's self-cultivation? Good master, you can play with this servant." Just one game, one game, one game." She raised her index finger. "

One round?It's game after game and game after game, right?Bai Ziwan took a sip of tea, pointed to the stool next to him, and motioned for Yunxiang to sit down, "Did something happen between you and Xiao He? Why do you always dislike Xiao He?" If Yunxiang didn't look strange in Xiao He's eyes, otherwise She would really suspect that Yun Xiang treated Xiao He like this on purpose.

"Nothing happened between us, I just don't like to see him, the fifth prince treats you that way." The more Rue Xiang spoke, the voice became softer, and finally, she was like a mosquito.

Bai Ziwan was taken aback for a moment, never thought that it was because of him that Yun Xiang didn't give Xiao He a good look, and she dared not move.Hearing footsteps outside, Zi Wan said, "The matter between me and the fifth prince has nothing to do with Xiao He, don't treat him like that again, you know?"

Xiao He is also a man of words, no matter what he hears or sees these days, as long as she doesn't say anything, he never asks a word.He also tried his best to do everything she ordered, and he never disappointed her.

Although she didn't understand why her master favored Xiao He again and again, Rue Xiang still agreed, but the look in her eyes was sly.

"Master is up?" The door was knocked twice, and Xiao He's voice came from outside.

Bai Ziwan pointed to Yunxiang, telling her to remember what she said just now, and went to open the door, "Let's talk about anything in the house."

Xiao He handed over the brocade box in his hand, Bai Ziwan blinked suspiciously, took it over and opened it, "Why do you have this thing?"

Xiao He remained silent.

Looking at the contents in the brocade box, Bai Ziwan seemed to think of something, closed his eyes gently, took a deep breath, and smiled gratefully at Xiao He, "Xiao He, thank you."
