"My people intercepted a letter from my second brother." Po Nu said, and then handed a letter to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing took it, but unfortunately, he didn't recognize the words on it, so he asked Po Nu to read it to him.
The slave was obedient.
After hearing this, Wei Qing looked shocked.
The information above is very important, as it concerns the fate of the entire Qinzhou City and even the entire Great Zhou.
After Po Nu handed over the letter, Wei Qing did not let him go.
Po Nu was a Hun. If he did anything detrimental to Qinzhou City, his wife would definitely blame herself, and then it would be too late for him to regret.
The Huns were very cunning and he couldn't be fooled.
So Wei Qing brought Po Nu back to the inn and stuffed him into the room where Zhang Qian lived.
The slave who was tied up and locked in the house: "..."
He told me everything he needed, and yet you still won’t let him go!
Po Nu finally witnessed the cunning of the "farmer"!
His face was puffed up and he was about to explode with anger!
Wei Qing quietly entered the room he and Tang Li shared, took off his outer robe, and got into bed.
He waited until he felt warm before hugging his wife in his arms.
Tangli has been dreaming very frequently these days, and she dreamed again tonight.
She dreamed again, this time in a military tent, where Cao Shao was lying and sleeping.
A dark shadow sneaked into the tent and stabbed Cao Shao in the chest with the sword in his hand.
The blood from Cao Shao's body splattered all over the man's face, and the man raised his head...
Tangli woke up suddenly.
She breathed heavily.
Wei Qing woke up in an instant, sat up, hugged her in his arms, and patted her back gently.
"Husband, I had a nightmare again." Tang Li said.
"What did you dream about?" Wei Qing patted her back and asked softly.
"I dreamed that General Cao was assassinated in the tent." Tang Li said.
Her mind raced, connecting these three dreams with recent events.
"My lord, originally it was an insider who opened the city gate, and General Cao died in the chaos of the army. However, you went to see General Cao yesterday and asked General Cao to strengthen the defense of the city gate. Therefore, the future course of events was changed. The insider gave up opening the city gate and chose to assassinate General Cao. Once General Cao died, the Qinzhou City would be leaderless and would be broken." Tang Li said.
In this way, the direction has changed, but the ending is still the same.
Cao Shao was killed... Her uncle Cao was such a good man, she couldn't bear to see him die.
If the Qinzhou city was broken and the Huns invaded, they would inevitably massacre the city, blood would flow like a river, and innocent people would die tragically.
Tang Li felt depressed and uncomfortable when he thought of the bloody scene in his dream.
Tang Li suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Wei Qing's ear, "My husband, I also dreamed about who killed General Cao."
Wei Qing looked at her.
"It's Cao Hua."
In the dream, Cao Shao's blood sprayed on that face. The man raised his head with a ferocious look in his eyes. It was Cao Hua.
I'm afraid that when he went to the brothel, he was not just visiting it, but perhaps he was conveying some message.
"Husband, why aren't you surprised?" Tang Li couldn't help asking when she saw Wei Qing's calm look.
Tangli was surprised himself.
Cao Hua was considered Cao Shao's adopted son, and Cao Shao trusted him so much.
"I have something here too." Wei Qing handed a letter to Tang Li.
Tangli was puzzled.
She didn't recognize the words on it and wondered how her man got the letter.
Wei Qing recounted what happened last night.
Tang Li's eyes widened. This actually happened while she was sleeping.
The young man they casually rescued turned out to be a Hun prince!
Her husband is so powerful that he actually caught the person?
"This is a communication between the Xiongnu and their accomplice. Judging from the content, this accomplice has a close relationship with General Cao. I didn't expect it to be Cao Hua."
"Is Cao Hua mentioned here?" Tang Li looked hopeful.
After hearing Cao Hua's words, this letter was the evidence that could make Cao Shao believe them.
Wei Qing shook his head.
"Then General Cao will definitely not believe us."
On one side is the person you have raised yourself with and whom you trust very much, and on the other side are two people you have just met. It is obvious who you should trust.
However, even if Cao Shao did not believe them, they could not sit there and wait for death, so they still went to see Cao Shao.
When Tang Li and Wei Qing went downstairs, they saw Shopkeeper Hua looking anxious and restless.
They both knew why she was like this. It must be because she got up and couldn't find the boy.
When Manager Hua secretly kept the young man, did he know that he was a Hun?
The Xiongnu and the Great Zhou have a long-standing feud, and the two countries have always been at odds. Especially at this sensitive moment when the two armies are confronting each other, it is better for Manager Hua not to get involved in this matter.
The two men looked at Shopkeeper Hua, left the inn without saying anything, and went to Cao Shao's military camp.
…
Military camp, tent.
Tang Li rushed into the tent angrily, staring at Cao Shao with anger in his dark eyes.
Cao Shao was wiping his knife. Seeing this, he asked curiously, "Little girl, what's wrong? Who offended you? Whoever offended you, I'll chop him down!"
As he spoke, he swung the sword twice.
Tangli pointed at him: "You!"
"Me? I treat you as my own daughter and love you so much, how could I possibly mess with you?" A hint of innocence appeared on Cao Shao's resolute and heroic face.
"You want to lure my husband into the army again." Tang Li said angrily.
Cao Shao suddenly realized: "Oh, this matter. Wei Qing is a good seedling at first glance. I can't help but..."
Tang Li's eyes became more and more fierce, and Cao Shao's voice became lower and lower. Finally, there was silence and no one dared to speak.
"Uncle was wrong." Cao Shao admitted his mistake obediently.
Outside the tent, two young generals stood there.
The one who looks like a scholar is Cao Hua, and the other one who looks rough is another deputy general, Cao Ji.
Back then, Cao Shao adopted many children, and Cao Hua and Cao Ji were the best among them.
Cao Hua smiled and said, "I've never seen the general look like this before."
He would pamper them and admit his mistakes, but he was like an ordinary father, and he would never treat them like that.
Cao Ji's expression was not very good. "Why do these two come here every day? Do they really think the military camp is their home? They come here just to talk nonsense to the general. It's already late, isn't this just a waste of time?"
Cao Hua had a smile on his face: "The general is very brave, nothing will be delayed."
"You have a good temper, but I get annoyed just looking at these two people. The general has set so many rules, but he made an exception for these two country folk." Cao Ji was speechless after listening to those meaningless words.
Don't you know that the General's time is precious?
What a mess this is!
Still acting like a spoiled brat.
So annoying!
"Cao Hua, Cao Ji, is there anything wrong?" Cao Shao's voice came from inside.
Cao Hua and Cao Ji walked in.
Tang Li smiled at the two of them, Cao Hua smiled back, and then the other person...
He glared at her, seeming to dislike her very much.
Tangli turned his head away silently.
"Uncle, you guys talk about business, we'll go out and wait. We'll come in after you're done talking." Tang Li said.
Cao Shao nodded.
Tang Li took Wei Qing's hand and walked out of the tent.
Cao Ji glared at Tang Li's back again.
Coming again?
Aren’t you finished yet?
The war is about to begin, what a waste of time!
