Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Now the captain has been thrown into the dungeon. The two of us are his trusted confidants, and have received great favors from him. He has given us orders to bring these two letters to the princess, and we beg her to help us find out the truth and save General Yang, Commander Mu, and Captain Wu from danger."

After hearing what happened, Lin Xiaoyue felt heavy in her heart and asked carefully if there was anyone else at the scene at the time.

According to Wang Da and Wang Er, in addition to the two generals, Commander Mu, and Captain Wu, there were four other captains present.

However, only General Yang and Commander Mu were poisoned. After the two were poisoned, General Qian immediately put Captain Wu in the water dungeon and ordered the other four Captains to take over the relevant matters that Commander Mu was responsible for.

Now, General Qian has left the military settlement. However, all affairs in the settlement are controlled by the four captains. All the soldiers who spoke up for Captain Wu were detained by the four captains, some were fined, some were imprisoned, and the settlement was in a state of panic. No one dared to plead for Captain Wu anymore.

Lin Xiaoyue listened to the two people's story while flipping through the bloody letter. However, the more she read, the more serious her expression became. She didn't even notice that her originally relaxed posture had unconsciously tensed up.

Xiaocao has been with Lin Xiaoyue for quite some time, and in the past, when facing critical situations where everyone was helpless, Sister San Ya's face had never looked so ugly.

Although she didn't know what was written in the letter, her heart sank when she saw the expression on Sister San Ya's face.

Wang Da and Wang Er, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Wasn't it said that this princess came from the countryside? Why did she exude a sharp aura that came from killing thousands of troops?

It’s not Lin Xiaoyue’s fault that she couldn’t hold it back, but what the Seventh Uncle mentioned in the letter really made her laugh.

Yes, one of the two letters in her hand was the secret letter that the Seventh Uncle sent to the border through secret channels and asked the garrison commander to pass on to Lin Xiaoyue.

In the letter, the Seventh Uncle mentioned that after Lin Xiaoyue presented the secret recipe for making gunpowder to the emperor, the emperor and he specially dispatched people from the Ministry of War to find a secret place to make gunpowder weapons.

After a certain amount was produced, it was sent to the border in order to prevent the other two countries in the three-way balance of power, Jin and Tiansheng, from taking advantage of the damage to our country after the natural disaster of Dayuan and joining forces to attack our country, and then invade and divide our territory and resources.

The Emperor and the Seventh Uncle's concerns were not groundless. It was because of the frequent natural disasters in the past year that the three dynasties were seriously damaged. A month ago, spies ambushed in the two countries reported back that the Jin Kingdom and Tiansheng had reached a secret marriage.

The two countries formed an alliance through marriage at this critical juncture with only one purpose, which was to strengthen their strength and thus annex neighboring countries.

For the Jin Kingdom and Tiansheng, Dayuan is undoubtedly a major concern for them.

The situation of the three powers that once held each other in check was now broken by the marriage between the Kingdom of Jin and Tiansheng. If you say that the two countries do not have the ambition to annex the Dayuan Dynasty, even a fool would not believe it.

Therefore, after obtaining the secret recipe for making gunpowder, the emperor and his seventh uncle rushed to make gunpowder weapons.

Sure enough, after the first batch of weapons arrived at the border, the armies of Jin and Tiansheng showed signs of stirring.

However, just three days after the second batch of weapons was sent out from the capital, they were hijacked by a group of men in black who appeared out of nowhere.

The governor and the governor-general who learned the news were ambushed and seriously injured, and have been in a coma ever since; the other one, all 137 members of his family were poisoned to death, and no one survived, which can be said to be a tragic tragedy in which the entire family was wiped out.

At present, the news is still blocked and has not spread. Otherwise, once the news that the top two commanders who guard the border were attacked and fell spread, it will inevitably cause the army to lose morale and low morale.

The people in cities and towns along the border are in turmoil. By then, those who can run will all run away, and those who cannot run or cannot run will probably be trapped in great fear and anxiety every day.

The purpose of the Seventh Uncle handing her this secret letter was to hope that she could assist the veterans guarding the border and help catch the "rat" among them. Otherwise, if this rat were to stay in the army for a day, it would be like a time bomb, which would inevitably cause greater troubles...

But now it seems that this is more than just a trouble, it is clearly a sinkhole.

Because the other letter that Wang Da and Wang Er handed to Lin Xiaoyue was exactly the list of suspected people written in blood by Captain Wu in the water dungeon.

Not surprisingly, General Qian and four other captains were also on the list.

Don’t ask how Lin Xiaoyue knew about this. Wang Da and Wang Er have also seen this list. You can find out by asking them.

As for why the Seventh Uncle and Captain Wu did not pass the secret letter to other generals, but instead passed the message to her, a fledgling and controversial civilian princess?

The former was because they thought that since Lin Xiaoyue was able to invent gunpowder, glass and other things, her brain must be good. At least better than those veterans who were only good at fighting on the battlefield.

The latter had a trusting relationship with her after dealing with her several times. In this situation where it is hard to tell whether the people around you are human or ghost, Lin Xiaoyue, a princess of commoner origin, has a clean background and is simple and straightforward. She is obviously much more reliable than those people who have ulterior motives and are full of ulterior motives.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the letters from the two and almost laughed out of anger. She couldn't understand what these two people were thinking. Did they think she was smart?

She is not smart at all, she is standing on the shoulders of giants, okay?

Also, if such an important weapon as gunpowder could be stolen, it would be strange if there were no nails around.

Besides, everything was stolen and the letter was delayed. What could she do? She was not a magician who could turn all these things back.

Lin Xiaoyue was so angry that her mouth was dry. She threw the letter on the coffee table next to her, picked up the teacup and was about to pour it into her mouth.

But when Keren was unlucky, even the tea went against her and not a drop was left.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was in a restless mood, Xiaocao hurried forward to take her cup away, refilled it and brought it back.

Lin Xiaoyue drank water, thinking quickly in her mind how to solve this trouble.

Yes, at this point, she did not want to shirk responsibility. After all, she was the one who brought out the hot weapons. If they were accidentally leaked and fell into the hands of the wrong people, I am afraid that wars would break out, and countless lives would be lost and injured...

This went against her original intention. She absolutely did not want to see unnecessary and meaningless bloodshed.

For a moment, the hall fell into solemn silence.
