Xiahou Dun took the letter.

Pei Yi's face was full of smiles, and his words were full of ridicule: "I didn't expect that the people around Mu Zhao would be so stupid.

The young general of divine soldiers is no more than this. ”

Xiahou Dun unfolded the letter and read its contents carefully.

He said calmly: "Mu Zhao is smart and knows how to verify from multiple sources, but his subordinates are not smart."

Xiahou Dun put down the letter and looked up at Pei Yi: "Did you witness Mu Zhao's trusted men returning to the city?"

Pei Yi nodded: "The spy followed all the way and saw Song Yuan return to Guyan County with his own eyes.

Still waiting outside the city of Guyan County for an hour.

The spies brought back news that no one from Guyan County left the city anymore. ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun felt relieved.

...

...

He picked up a pen and wrote a letter, signing it with Xiao Jingzhou's name.

He waited until the ink dried before putting the letter into the envelope.

Xiahou Dun said calmly, "Send someone to deliver this letter to Mu Zhao tomorrow evening."

Pei Yi's lips curled slightly: "Yes, Marshal!"

The tent of the Beiliang commander was filled with the smell of conspiracy.

The lights were on in the Eastern Zhou army camp in Guyan County.

After Song Yuan returned to the camp, he rushed to the commander-in-chief's tent immediately.

Mu Zhao was sleeping soundly on the bed, so Song Yuan squatted beside him and waited.

Ever since the destruction of Guyan County and the disappearance of the eldest lady, the young marshal has not slept well, and he couldn't bear to disturb him.

An hour and a half passed, and Mu Zhao was still sleeping soundly.

Song Yuan noticed something was wrong and went forward to check the situation.

Mu Zhao's forehead was covered with sweat and he was mumbling something.

"Young Marshal?" Song Yuan called softly, trying to pull him out of the nightmare.

"Sister!" Mu Zhao shouted and suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes.

Song Yuan whispered, "Young Marshal, you have a nightmare again."

He brought a basin of water, soaked the dry cloth in it, wrung it out, and handed it to Mu Zhao to wipe his face.

Mu Zhao wiped his face; the cold water made him more sober.

He asked coldly, "How is it going?"

Song Yuan reported respectfully: "As Young Marshal expected, the Beiliang people are guarding near Dajingzhiyi City.

They wore Dajing's clothes, spoke Dajing's official language, and stopped their subordinates to intercept the letter.

He also sent people to follow his subordinates all the way back to the city, and guarded outside the city for a long time before leaving. ”

Mu Zhao asked for details about the person who intercepted the letter.

Song Yuan said: "That man is big and strong, and he let the cat out of the bag when he gave his name.

Now, Zhiyi City has Prince Dajing in charge, and at worst there is General Zhenbei, but that person actually reported Yang Jin's name.

There are many loopholes and he is unaware of it. ”

Mu Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, very observant."

Song Yuan smiled and was about to ask for more praise.

He has followed Mu Zhao for many years, and as soon as he raises his butt, Mu Zhao knows what he is going to fart.

Mu Zhao: "Be careful not to be arrogant or impatient. How is Dajing doing?"

Song Yuan stopped laughing and said solemnly, "Song Xing is leading people to Zhiyi City. I think it's time for him to meet Crown Prince Dajing."

…

After Xiao Jingzhou carefully read the letter from Dong Zhou, he ordered someone to invite Song Xing into the government hall.

Song Xing strode into the hall and saluted Xiao Jingzhou.

"Song Xing, deputy general of the Eastern Zhou Mu family army, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Dajing."

Xiao Jingzhou raised his hand: "General Song, there is no need to be so polite."

Song Xing stood up straight, looked at Xiao Jingzhou's face clearly, and was stunned for a moment.

He had never thought that Prince Dajing was so handsome.

Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "General Mu asked for confirmation in the letter. I can tell you the answer right now."

"What Xiahou Dun said is true, there is indeed a woman from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in Zhiyi City.

These women were not from the Dajing Army, but were captured and looted from the Guyan County of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Instead, when they were repelling Hu Riwei from Chibei, they discovered these women and took them in in Zhiyi City.

I once wanted to send them back to Guyan City, but they were unwilling to leave. ”

Song Xing said anxiously, "Impossible! Why wouldn't they want to return to their homeland? Could it be that someone is not willing to let them go?"

Yang Jin stood aside and couldn't listen any more.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince was kind enough to rescue an innocent woman from Dong Zhou, yet you dare to turn the tables on him.

Where were you when Hu Riwei oppressed and abducted the women of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? ”

Song Xing: "I..."

He lowered his head dejectedly and sighed heavily.

Song Xing clasped his fists, his eyes full of expectation: "Your Highness, please tell me the reason."

Xiao Jingzhou was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth.

But they don't want to open the wound again. ”

Song Xing was a little anxious, but didn't know how to start.

Xiao Jingzhou: "General Yang, take him to the canteen of the garment factory. They should be having lunch at this time."

"yes."

Not long after, Song Xing came back.

But his straight back bent slightly.

He couldn't understand why they spit on him and drove him away.

Song Xing stepped into the hall of the government office and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking them in and giving them a place to stay."

Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "They earn their living by doing needlework in exchange for food, and they earn their living by their own ability.

No need to thank me, it's not your turn to thank me. ”

"Go back and tell General Mu."

"These women returned to Dongzhou on their own will. If they don't want to return to their homeland, Dajing has a place for them."

After hearing this, Song Xing was shocked.

It was the first time he heard such remarks, and he was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Jingzhou ignored his changing expression and continued, "General Mu wanted to find my sister, and I accepted it."

"Leave the portrait behind."

"If General Mu wants to take back the Eastern Zhou woman, wait until the war subsides and have him come to pick her up in person."

"Besides, I also hope that General Mu will keep his promise."

Song Xing nodded heavily: "I will report the Crown Prince's words to General Mu truthfully."

Before leaving, Song Xing left behind a jade pendant.

"This item is not expensive, but it is a token of my gratitude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jingzhou nodded and let Lu Chen accept it.

Zhiyi City is surrounded by wolves, and you need money to buy weapons and equipment.

Miss Jiang told him that valuable things sell for a higher price.

This jade pendant should be able to exchange for a lot of knives for Da Jingjun.

When Song Xing saw Xiao Jingzhou accepting the jade pendant, tears welled up in his eyes and he left with great gratitude.

…

“I didn’t expect it to be like this!”

Mu Zhao slammed the desk heavily with his right hand, making a loud noise.

The soldiers patrolling outside the tent heard the noise and rushed into the tent to check the situation.

Song Yuan drove the man away.

Song Xingdao said: “Young Marshal, those women are laughing happily in Dajing.

However, when they heard that I was a general from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they were all scared and screamed, and ordered my expulsion. ”

Song Yuan was obviously stunned: "How could this be? What on earth happened to them?"

Song Xing shook his head: "I don't know, I was afraid that they would get emotional and do something stupid, so I left."

Song Yuan was so disappointed with his silly brother. Why didn't he take the opportunity to find the eldest lady?

After a long while, Mu Zhao said, "Prince Dajing has agreed to help find my sister, so this trip will not be in vain.

When the war is over, I will go to Dajing in person to welcome them back! ”

Song Yuan thought of something and frowned slightly.

He asked in a low voice: "Chibei has returned 3,000 Eastern Zhou prisoners, but Beiliang still wants Eastern Zhou to send troops. What is the young commander planning to do..."

Mu Zhao's eyes were full of light: "The plan remains unchanged, we will mobilize troops to besiege Dajingzhiyi City!"
