Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan, stood up with the bowl in his hand, and said, "This is not the place for you to come. When you find a chance, leave quickly."

Xu Yuan followed Bei Yao, "What about my brother?"

"Of course it will be fine."

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you in the military camp."

This is King Geshu's tent, full of dangers. She comes here to save Zhang Yue.

Now that Zhang Yue has been rescued, she certainly shouldn't stay here for too long, lest she lose her life.

"Row."

Bei Yao nodded neatly. Seeing Xu Yuan was about to leave, he remembered something, but didn't know how to call Xu Yuan's name, so he raised his hand and grabbed the hat on Xu Yuan's head.

When his hat was held, Xu Yuan turned around and asked, "Anything else?"

"I hate it most when people say I'm pretty. If you say that again, I'll dig your eyes out."

Bei Yao finished speaking, looked at Xu Yuan, and then said almsgivingly: "Let's go."

Xu Yuan held back his laughter, did not refute, and picked up his bowl and went out.

Bei Yao must have had the same idea as her, and they both pretended to be guards outside King Geshu's tent.

Therefore, Bei Yao heard everything she said.

However, Bei Yao's words did not have much deterrent power.

Xuyuan walked out of the tent and took a look at the location of the king's tent.

The two teams were changing shifts and the tent was empty.

Xu Yuan paused, then silently changed direction, went around the back of the tent, and took advantage of the time of changing guard to sneak into the king's tent.

King Goshu's tent is different from other tents. As soon as you enter and make a wish, you can feel a burst of heat.

There was a fire burning in the middle of the tent.

Make a wish and walk around the fire to the wooden table.

There were quite a few letters on the table, most of which were urgent military reports. Xu Yuan read them all at a glance, secretly amazed at Beiyao's layout.

She even began to suspect that Geshu's successful sneak attack last night was due to Beiyao deliberately revealing a flaw.

There were military newspapers everywhere. Xu Yuan flipped through them but didn't see anything useful, nor did she find any letters that could help with the current war situation. She lowered her eyes and was about to get up and leave, but suddenly she saw a few different pieces of paper.

Xu Yuan's eyes shone, and he murmured, "This is the paper used by the county government in Sishui County."

The paper used in Tianqi is different from that used in the Geshu tribe.

Tianqi's paper is finer and more convenient for writing.

In Sishui County, only some wealthy families can afford paper, and the paper used by scholars is different from that used in the county government.

The paper used by scholars was rougher than that used in the county government.

The paper here is delicate, so she can discover the difference.

It's like a pearl placed in a stone, everything about it is weird.

Xu Yuan picked up the letters, read them once, and then read them again. Only after the last read did she put down the letters in shock.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think of every word Bei Yao had said before.

Xu Yuan clenched the letter papers in his hand and stuffed them all into his bag.

She stood up to leave. A black shadow came in from the corner. The two looked at each other. Xu Yuan took the lead in pressing down the bag on his body and said, "Shen Renyao, did you know that Wei Chenggong, the county magistrate of Sishui County, had joined forces with the Geshu tribe to fight to support the war?"

Bei Yao was still surprised that Xu Yuan appeared here. When he heard Xu Yuan's question, he was shocked again. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Xu Yuan, I don't know how to describe you. Your intelligence is simply terrifying."

Bei Yao glanced at the letter paper on the table.

Obviously, Xuyuan has seen them all.

The fact that she asked this question meant that Xuyuan had understood the contents of the letter.

He always asked Shen Yichuan to check before confirming it, but Xu Yuan guessed it right.

The cleverness of making a wish is simply frightening.

"Isn't Mr. Shen equally wise?" Xu Yuan asked back.

Across the fire, Xuyuan asked, "So, you didn't come here specifically to save my brother. You came here for these letters, right?"

Beiyao didn't want to hide it anymore, so he said directly, "You are right. I came here for these letters. I will save your brother as well. You can rest assured."

Xu Yuan smiled, "I know you are a man of your word, so I left without hesitation. But why, you knew that the county magistrate was colluding with the Geshu tribe, why did you still push for this war? Obviously... obviously we don't have to fight."

"If we don't fight this year, we can still fight next year. From my perspective, I can only maximize the benefits of this matter."

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan and saw that his expression was getting dim. He continued, "Xu Yuan, you should do your job. I have no choice. I didn't try to persuade you to give me the letter."

"But I regret it. This should not have happened."

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao, still holding his bag tightly, "If that day comes, I don't lead the way for you, will everything be different?"

Bei Yao nodded, "Yes, but it is also possible that I will find clues somewhere else."

"No, you can't find it." Xuyuan shook his head.

In his previous life, the fact that Wei Chenggong was colluding with the Geshu tribe was never exposed.

This battle came quickly and went away quickly.

There were almost no casualties.

But now it’s different. Beiyao took the initiative to challenge, and the Geshu tribe accepted the fight. She saw countless corpses on the way.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene as corpses everywhere.

But all this shouldn't be like this.

Bei Yao didn't say anything. He looked at Xu Yuan in a daze, and was silent for a moment, still not saying anything.

Xu Yuan raised his head, looked at Bei Yao and said: "Third Master has chosen the right person to have a counselor like you. You are a smart person, but we are destined not to be allies."

"So, you really don't plan to give me these letters, right?"

Beiyao lowered his tone, making it sound more like a threat.

"Yes."

"What's the use of keeping it?"

"Of course it won't be of much use, but if you hand it over to the Third Prince, and the Third Prince hands it over, the consequences will be huge. Have you ever thought about it?"

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao and said, "Wei Chenggong alone cannot set up such a big scheme, so the person behind this must be rich or noble. You shouldn't be so naive as to convict him based on just these few pieces of paper, right?"

"nature."

"Then let me stay." Xu Yuan said, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Of course, if you insist on taking it, I will naturally not be able to keep these evidences."

"Then do you know what you will face if you keep these letters?"

"I know, but I'm the vanguard for the Third Master, so the Third Master should keep me safe, right?" Xu Yuan asked in return, "Or maybe Master Shen will keep me safe."

"I wish I had such ability." Bei Yao sighed softly.

"If you don't have it, then let this evidence..."

"Do not talk."

Beiyao interrupted Xuyuan, stood up, crossed the fire, pulled Xuyuan to the corner, and reminded him in a low voice: "Someone is coming."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s whole body tensed up and he stepped back.
