Chapter 388: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (22)
Meng Chang went on to say: "Those injured veterans have nothing to do every day, but they receive their military pay for nothing, and they are worried and anxious. Some soldiers dare not report their illnesses, for fear of causing trouble to others.
Now it's good to get them all moving and having something to do, so they won't have to think about random things anymore."
Thinking of this, Meng Chang couldn't help but wonder: "Strange, when I proposed this matter to the prince before, he was clearly firmly opposed, why did he agree this time?"
Qin Yu coughed twice. Could he say that the Prince was scolded by the Princess for an hour because of this matter?
"The prince has come to terms with it now. People still need things to do to have a purpose. Oh, by the way, the prince asked, have you found all the spies?"
General Meng shook his head helplessly, his tone heavy: "Alas! This general is really unworthy of the trust of the prince!
It took us five years to find 13 spies.”
He paused, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, "But I firmly believe that there should be far more than these people."
At this point, General Meng's eyes became sharp, "Who shot that cold arrow back then is still a mystery."
At this moment, Qin Yu suddenly recalled the words that the Princess had told him before he left.
She once said that if one wanted to find out the traitors hiding in the army, some extraordinary measures must be taken.
Qin Yu's heart moved, knowing that he was not the only one who understood the principle of "don't release the eagle until you see the rabbit".
So he whispered a few words to General Meng, who nodded slightly and lit an oil lamp.
Their figures were then reflected on the tent.
The two stayed in the tent for an hour, and then Qin Yu quietly left the tent.
Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, General Huang strode into the tent in high spirits.
He clasped his hands together and saluted Meng Chang respectfully: "General, at midnight last night, a soldier from the third battalion sneaked out of the camp;
A groom from the fourth battalion also left; at one o'clock in the morning, a squad leader from the second battalion left without saying goodbye; in addition, there was also a fireman from the third battalion.
At the hour of Mao, a lieutenant general under the right general released a pigeon in the grove.
After saying that, he handed over the pigeon in his hand.
Meng Chang took the pigeon and carefully removed the small paper tube tied to its leg.
When he unfolded the note, he saw that it clearly said: "It is suspected that the Prince of Xiping and General Meng had a secret conversation for an hour last night."
Meng Chang nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied smile: "Very good, very good! Immediately detain all these people and interrogate them carefully one by one."
"As you command, General!"
After three hours of interrogation, it was finally confirmed that three of them were indeed spies sent from there.
As for the others, it was purely coincidental.
After Qin Yu learned the news, he did not dare to delay and immediately reported it to the Prince of Xiping.
Yan Xue was very curious when she saw that Duanmu Ci didn't come to show his courtesy today.
I saw him and Qin Yu hiding in the study, whispering to each other about something.
After Qin Yu left, she walked into the study and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Duanmu Ci held the girl's hand, smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, I can handle it myself."
Yan Xue also put her other hand on Duanmu Ci's big hand and held it tightly.
This was the first time that Duanmu Ci truly felt the warmth of a girl's palm, which made his heart warm.
Yan Xue looked at the man in front of her and said firmly: "We are husband and wife now. No matter what happens, we should be honest with each other. Maybe I can help you!"
Duanmu Ci hesitated for a moment, and finally told Yan Xue that the Xuanjia Army had found the traitor.
But he was still full of worries, fearing that if he found three traitors today, that person would find a way to send in thirty more tomorrow.
After all, the Xuanjia Army has retired veterans every year, and new soldiers join as well.
After listening to Duanmu Ci's words, Yan Xue leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
“It really works.”
"Believe me, you don't know my ability to make pills?"
Duanmu Ci only recently found out that the famous Peiyuan Pill was actually made by his own princess, and he was secretly proud of it for a long time.
Qin Yu took a small bottle of pills and left in confusion.
General Meng frowned after hearing Qin Yu's words. Although he was puzzled, he still fed the pills to the three people as instructed.
Who would have thought that after the three people took the pills, their eyes became blurry, as if they had lost their self-awareness.
They began to tell everything, including how they contacted each other, what the code was, how often they contacted each other, etc.
Meng Chang opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Qin Yu was also shocked. He didn't expect that the Princess's elixir was so magical.
General Meng ordered the three men to be detained again and assigned someone to guard them.
This would give them plenty of time to plan their next move...
The problem of the Xuanjia Army was solved, and Duanmu Ci felt particularly happy.
With his soft and hard persuasion, he finally ate meat that night. When he looked at the white patch and the two big, white and shaking ones...
It soon died down.
This time Yan Xue finally believed what the man said before. It was indeed the first time.
Duanmu Ci secretly hated himself for being useless, but fortunately he was not completely useless. The second time he finally regained his confidence.
By the third time, the little woman had already started crying and begging for mercy, and Duanmu Ci finally gave up the idea of asking the housekeeper to buy tonic the next day.
He fell asleep holding the sweet-smelling girl in his arms.
The next day, the sunlight poured into the room through the window. Both of them slept soundly and did not wake up until noon.
Yan Xue vaguely felt a big hand on her waist. She gently tapped the man's handsome chin and said softly, "Wake up! Take your hand away~"
The man seemed to be still asleep and uttered a low hum.
Murmured: "Be good, sleep a little longer, it's still early..."
Yan Xue smiled helplessly and poked the man's cheek: "What's so early? It's already noon! I still have things to do today, let me go!"
Duanmu Ci refused to let go, instead he held the little woman tighter in his arms and coaxed her gently: "Nothing is more important than sleeping~"
Yan Xue sighed helplessly, yawned loudly, and then snuggled in the man's warm embrace and fell asleep again.
Another hour passed and she slowly opened her eyes, meeting the man's deep and mischievous eyes, looking at her with a smile.
Yan Xue glared at the man coquettishly, "It will be noon if you don't get up now."
Duanmu Ci looked at the lovely little woman in his arms, his heart full of love. He stroked Yan Xue's hair and whispered,
"Okay, my dear."
He pecked the girl's little mouth gently, then smiled brightly again.
When he learned the news of his father's death, he wanted to rush back to the border, but his mother held him back and would not let him leave no matter what.
My mother must have expected this, which is why she claimed to be sick and asked him to come back.
He did have some intention of taking advantage of Yan Xue when he married her. He had never lived for himself in the past few years.
But now he is deeply attracted to this woman, she is the salvation of his life.
