The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

The autumn wind is cold and chilly.

After autumn comes in Yanzhou, the weather gradually becomes cooler.

It is coldest in the morning and evening, and it can be a bit hot at noon when the sun is shining.

After arriving at the border, Jiang Zhu rarely took off his mask, and few people in the camp had seen his true face.

Jiang Zhu didn't go to patrol the camp these days, for fear of missing Bai Jingzhi's call.

Changhe came in from outside in military uniform, "General, Changtong has rested well and is waiting to see you."

"Has he rested well? Have the other people's injuries been treated?"

Jiang Zhu put down the black stone in his hand, carefully put it into his purse, and stuffed it into his arms.

Changhe was sharp-eyed and noticed that the pattern on the purse was wrong. He was in charge of the general's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it turned out that the purse embroidered with flowers was missing.

What's so good about that yellow-haired girl that the general had to give away so many things.

Even if Aunt Wei could cure the general's poison, it wouldn't be like this.

"Changhe?" Jiang Zhu called out several times but got no response, so he simply walked up to him and said, "Why don't you call Changtong in? What are you thinking about all day long?"

Chang He had been with Jiang Zhu for many years. Hearing this cold voice, he was startled. "General, you have been staying in the tent these days. The other generals have been wanting to come over to see you."

After saying this, Changhe hurried out and brought Changtong in.

"Changtong, tell me what happened over there."

Jiang Zhu went straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense.

About half an hour later, Chang Tong explained clearly what happened to them in Mingzhou City.

"Shan Yin's cooperation is good. If that's the case, why are all of you injured?"

Changhe asked the question that was in Jiang Zhu's mind.

Jiang Zhu motioned Chang Tong to continue.

Chang Tong looked ashamed. "It's all my fault. I let my guard down when we were almost in Yanzhou and slowed down. The people from Mingzhou caught up with us and we were ambushed."

"Are you sure he is from Mingzhou City?" Jiang Zhu was surprised.

King Ming didn't believe that it was King Li who did it.

The relationship between the two of them was so good? Jiang Zhu didn't believe it anyway.

We are all royal nobles. Who would be willing to be under someone else's command for a long time?

"It was definitely King Ming's man." Chang Tong recalled briefly, "That man was standing with King Ming's personal guards that day, and it was he who blocked the assassin."

Princess Ming was injured when she blocked the knife, and it was that man who fought against the assassin.

The assassin's martial arts skills are quite good, and that man is not much inferior.

Chang Tong mentioned the assassin of that day with an admiring look on his face, "That assassin came after us. They were all dressed in green clothes and were called the Wei Family Green Army."

The Blue Army is no longer a secret in the Dazhuang Dynasty.

The emperor would covet it, so he can't be an incompetent person.

"We were taken advantage of this time. It was indeed their superiority."

Chang Tong looked dejected and lowered his head in shame, "We have failed the general's trust."

Jiang Zhu sat at the top, and no one could see his expression beneath the mask.

"You can't avoid being involved with these people this time."

He said a few words to comfort Changtong and let him go down to rest.

"General, who do you think sent these people? They actually took advantage of us and caused King Ming to suspect our Yanzhou."

Changhe knew the original plan, that Changtong and his men were to quickly slip out of the city after they finished offering grain.

This effect is the best.

The spies that Prince Li had stationed there would naturally report the matter to Lianzhou. By then, a rift would have developed between the two princes, and a break-up would be a natural consequence.

Unexpectedly, the Blue-clad Army showed up halfway, and the assassination attempt was pinned on Yanzhou.

Chang He was a little worried, "If the prince knew about this, he would probably be dissatisfied with you."

They brothers had stayed in Yanzhou with Jiang Zhu for more than ten years. Although they didn't know King Yan well, they were familiar with his temperament.

The Prince of Yan has been keeping a low profile, but he has messed up this time.

Chang He glanced at Jiang Zhu cautiously, "I don't know if the prince will blame Chang Tong and the others. No one expected this. I just don't know which faction these troublemakers belong to."

"Could it be that someone from Prince Li's side deliberately made people suspect Prince Yan, so that they can benefit from it?"

Chang He finally used his brain to think about it, but before he could analyze it further, he was interrupted by Jiang Zhu, "No."

Jiang Zhu said two words in a cold voice and ordered Chang He, "Go and see if there is any news from Yanzhou City."

Chang He went down angrily, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

After everyone left, Jiang Zhu paced in the tent.

Discussing deeds, one does not care about one’s heart, and no one is perfect when considering one’s heart.

He has been guarding the Yanzhou border for these years, which can be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace.

As for other friendships, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Jiang Zhu put aside other thoughts and began to think about Changtong and his friends' trip to Mingzhou.

Their action this time relied on internal and external cooperation, and they had already made a plan.

If Shanyin was not there in Mingzhou City, it would not be easy for Changtong and his men to escape.

It means letting those who come along halfway take advantage.

The trip to Mingzhou did not help the Prince of Yan at all. Instead, it put him under attack from all sides.

These influences can only be eliminated slowly in the future, and he will not let King Yan suffer any loss.

Based on Chang Tong's description of the assassin, Jiang Zhu already had a rough guess.

Wei Dayong from Bai Jingzhi's side is very similar to this assassin.

"Interesting!" Jiang Zhu looked at Bai Jingzhi for the first time.

"General!" Chang He rushed in with a few letters in his hands. "Some news came in last night about the prince."

"Be patient! I've said it so many times before, don't be so careless."

Jiang Zhu took it and said, "And the second young master's? How strange."

His relationship with the two sons of King Yan was not very close. He had some friendship with Jiang Lan when he was young, but unfortunately it was also worn away by time.

"General, please don't get involved in the affairs between the Second Young Master and the Crown Prince. If the Second Young Master asks for help, you must politely refuse."

Changhe felt a headache when he mentioned this.

Jiang Lan is useless, petty-minded and has no tolerance.

His temperament was not formed in one day. It was spoiled by the prince and his wife.

It is obvious that the prince will not hand over Yanzhou to his son. Besides, his son is not without an heir to the throne.

Changhe curled his lips and became angry when he thought of Jiang Lan.

"Of course I know that. Even you have to control your temper. They are your cousins ​​after all."

Jiang Zhu knocked Changhe's head with the letter paper, "Why don't you go to the princess? Don't let her come here to bother me. I will show myself in front of those generals after noon."

"They don't consider me and my brother as relatives! If my Nalan family was still around, humph!"

Changhe didn't say anything more, turned around and left the tent.

Speaking of the Nalan family, Jiang Zhu felt even worse.

He simply wiped the red tasseled spear, and only picked up the letter on the table and checked it after the depression in his heart disappeared.

The letter from the second young master of Prince Yan's Mansion was full of respect and attempts to win him over. Jiang Zhu just glanced at it and put it down.

However, he was interested in the other letter.

He has been in Yanzhou for many years, so it is impossible that there are no spies in the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Jiang Zhu laughed at what this person said, "How could Jiang Lan deserve such a large amount of food to be exchanged by the prince?"

Jiang Zhu was so angry after reading the contents of the letter.

He actually used half of the grain donated by the Wei family to exchange for that willful person.

That amount of food could feed the soldiers for most of half a year, and could feed the people of Yanzhou City for a year.

He flipped through the letters but found no reply from Bai Jingzhi.

Jiang Zhu sneered, "Uncle, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Bai Jingzhi will not be short of food if he goes to Wujiyuan."

This exchange condition was not attractive to Bai Jingzhi.

He had seen people returning to the fields and gardens, and had also done farm work at the foot of the mountain.

If Bai Jingzhi wanted to, her return to the countryside and farming could support many people.

Just as Jiang Zhu expected, Bai Jingzhi did not like the exchange conditions of exchanging food for people.

After Bai Jingzhi got on the carriage, Wei Liu turned around and still felt unwilling to give up.

"Jingzhi, with such good conditions, why don't you agree?" He came to the carriage and asked directly.

"Good terms?" Bai Jingzhi sneered, "Sixth Grandpa, look at the number of people we have. There are still many refugees on the other side of Wujiyuan. Two fists are no match for four hands. Can we protect them?"

Wei Liu lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then advised, "Then convert it into gold and silver according to the market price?"

There was famine in many places in Dazhuang Dynasty, and the price of food skyrocketed. They kept enough food for these people to eat for a year, and exchanged the rest for money.

The more Wei Liu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He looked at the girl in front of him with hope, "This way it won't be too conspicuous, and the gold and silver will be easier to handle."

Bai Jingzhi shook his head.

"So what do you have in mind?" Wei Liu was completely annoyed. "This won't work, and that won't work either."

"I want to change a group of people."
