Chapter 71 The topographic map is handed over to you, you fool!
Several princes and princesses came to the palace together. This was a rare event even for a general's mansion with great power.
Jiang Yingcheng was personally led by General Kan, and he looked like half the owner of the mansion.
[Hehehe, you want to be spies, huh? I'll send you all away soon! ]
Prince Jiang Tinghuai was walking in front, holding his awkward younger brother in one hand. Even without looking back, one could imagine the smug expression on the little guy's face.
Kan Ruifeng thought that since he had already invited people, he might as well follow Prime Minister Tan's example and hold a small banquet. This way, it would be convenient for all the people in the mansion to pass before the little princess' eyes. Even if they were not spies, she would be able to get to know them thoroughly.
His idea was so wonderful that he forgot that they had just had lunch in Lingxi Palace.
Jiang Yingcheng held her face with both hands; [I can’t eat anymore, Chengcheng can’t eat even a drop…]
The dishes in front of her looked so delicious that her saliva was almost flowing out of the corners of her eyes.
But she really couldn't eat anything at all.
She was so sad that she had no mood to pay attention to the people around her.
The people in the general's mansion had just finished lunch, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very strange for a moment.
Yuan Liangping looked around helplessly and said resignedly, "I heard that General Kan will be dispatching troops in three months. I wonder if you have asked me to come here today, but what use will there be for me?"
Kan Ruifeng was stunned.
Speed is of the essence in war. They had originally planned to march out at the beginning of mid-spring, which left less than two months, in order to catch the North by surprise.
But he quickly responded: "Of course there is."
There are spies from all over the place in the mansion, so it is not convenient to directly state the correct time.
The ears of several kids perked up.
Although they didn't quite understand the adults' strategies and intentions, fortunately... Jiang Yingcheng's thoughts were simple and easy to understand.
[Wow, are we going to attack Beiming now?!]
[Hehehe, Bei Ming's general has also been infected with the plague. It's still a secret and hasn't been reported yet. I guess it won't be hidden anymore after a while! ]
[When Beiming is in chaos, Master Kan won't even have to enter the city, he can just throw rocks and set fire to it! ]
Kan Ruifeng and Yuan Liangping looked at each other and tacitly began to discuss in a low voice some topics that had nothing to do with the itching.
In fact, they were all concentrating on eavesdropping on the young man's thoughts.
[Ah, you have to be careful. The Beiming people are very bad. They might throw out the bodies of soldiers who died of plague...]
Kan Ruifeng used the action of drinking to hide the deep thought in his eyes.
He had discussed this issue with Emperor Mingze before.
The Beiming people are naturally weak in moral sense, so they will basically use the tactic of throwing corpses.
But now, they learned about this matter first from the little princess's thoughts. If they wait until the situation in the Beiming Army becomes known to the world, their attack plan will become much more difficult.
They must act soon.
However, the situations during marches and battles were unpredictable and unpredictable. Even if it was a plague, they already had a complete response plan.
【Ah! I remember now!!】
【Didn’t we read some information a while ago that there are two undiscovered copper mines in Kangyang County, Beiming?】
[Wow, it’s so big, it should take us Da Rui several years to mine it! ]
"!!!"
Why are you telling me such an important thing now?
Where, where, where is the copper mine of Dari buried? ? ?
Several people were breathing rapidly and were about to lose control of their facial expressions.
Jiang Yingcheng, however, was unaware of anything. She lowered her head and focused on the information 007 sent to her.
[Well, ninety miles east of Kangyang County, at the foot of the nameless mountain, is where the copper mine is located? ]
[Wow, wow, wow, three hundred miles further east, there is a gold mine buried at the bottom of Baoqi Mountain in neighboring Yangjia County?! ]
The more Jiang Yingcheng dug, the happier he became. He felt that this Beiming Kingdom was simply a treasure trove. Not only did it contain countless gold, silver and copper mines, but it also contained...
[The world's most famous master of machinery???] Jiang Yingcheng was shocked, [Brother Tong, the information you gave me before said that the world's most famous master of machinery, Li Hongjun, is from Yu Country!]
[Oh, I was kidnapped by Bei Ming in a low-key manner... It's okay then. ]
How come everything is alright?!
Kan Ruifeng and Yuan Liangping had completely finished their conversation. One of them was tasting wine while the other was eating. Their mouths moved very slowly and their ears were stretched out.
The name Li Hongjun was already well known to Yuan Liangping, a mere civil servant.
The mechanical crossbow and crane-feather arrows he designed for Da Rui had already been used in the army. The drawings were kept by Emperor Mingze himself, and even today there are still spies from various countries who want to break into the palace and steal them.
Da Rui originally wanted to ask him to design two more pieces of protective gear, but Li Hongjun had disappeared a year ago and no one knew where he was.
But it turns out that he was secretly locked up by Bei Ming? !
Kan Ruifeng's heart was beating like thunder.
If this man could be rescued from Bei Ming's clutches, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for Da Rui!
[Let me see where he is being held?] As if responding to the doubts in the two people's hearts, the next second, Jiang Yingcheng began to ask about the man's whereabouts.
[Hey, it’s a bit off…]
Bei Ming had obviously put a lot of thought into the matter of the Tibetan location. It was so remote that even if she wanted to tell her handsome father, she didn't know how to describe it.
[How about... draw a topographic map?] Jiang Yingcheng looked up and stole a glance at Yuan Liangping, feeling happy, [What a sucker!]
Yuan Liangping: "..."
If Emperor Mingze could not hear the little princess's voice, he would be tricked to death by her sooner or later.
"I suddenly remembered that there is something I have not discussed with Your Majesty," Kan Ruifeng stood up suddenly, turned to Yuan Liangping and said, "Sir... I'll trouble you to accompany the young princes to study for a while."
Yuan Liangping's eyes were filled with resentment.
Don’t think he didn’t hear you. What you just wanted to say was “sucker”, right?
He responded with a forced smile.
Kan Ruifeng ran away.
He is about to go to the palace to find His Majesty to discuss whether the departure date can be advanced for a while!
Beiming is guarding so many gold and silver mountains. If the spies from other countries also get the news and take action before them...
Everything else is fine, but what should we do if the master of the organization is implicated?
That is a priceless treasure!
Fight! It would be best if we could send troops to attack Beiming tomorrow!
Before leaving the yard, Kan Ruifeng turned around and took one last look at Yuan Liangping.
The topographic map is left to you, you fool!
…
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was somewhat subtle.
Although several young princes knew the real reason why General Kan suddenly left the meeting, everyone in the Kan Mansion thought that their old man was addicted to workaholics again, and for a moment, they were all so embarrassed that they tapped their toes on the ground.
Yuan Liangping also deeply felt the same way.
General Kan left in a dashing manner, but they were all outsiders after all. What was the point of them sitting around with these family members?
At the critical moment, Kan Hongxi smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. My father always loses sight of the big picture when he talks about state affairs. I hope you can forgive me."
After he closed his mouth, his eyes fell directly on Jiang Yingcheng.
