Cypress Boat Floating

"This map is real. Look, there are words of my father's annotations on it." Lu Zhixing took a careful look at the marching distribution map that Ye Jianqing handed to him. It was indeed the same as the marching distribution map he remembered, and there were also words of cinnabar annotations by the emperor himself as Qiu Xingwei said.

"Why was the map inside Cheng Tianhe's clothes?" Lu Zhixing never expected that after searching the entire body, he would find the map hidden in an unexpected place.

"That's a long story." Ye Jianqing put down the water cup. His mysterious look made Lu Ci Qiu couldn't help laughing. Ye Jianqing glared at him. Although it didn't seem to be intimidating to Lu Ci Qiu, he still shut his mouth obediently, but the curve of his cheeks betrayed him.

But Lu Zhixing didn't indulge her and directly said, "Let's make it short."

"I was just investigating with the possibility in mind, but I didn't find anything on them at first, and their clothes were intact, with no signs of mending. I thought that was probably why the man in black released Cheng Tianhe.

Just when I was about to put clothes on them, I suddenly felt that the thickness of Cheng Tianhe's underwear on his chest was a little different from other parts..." Ye Jianqing was frightened by Lu Ciqiu's surprised voice as soon as he finished speaking.

"You...you looked at their bodies?" Lu Ci Qiu opened his mouth in surprise. He wanted to pull Ye Jianqing to wash his eyes. Those two people had defiled Ye Jianqing's eyes.

"Is there anything?" Ye Jianqing blinked innocently and looked at him. For a man who ignored the difference between men and women, it was just looking at two corpses, which really was nothing.

Lu Ciqiu was choked by Ye Jianqing's attitude and shook his head silently. What should he say? Should he say no? Ye Jianqing would probably be unhappy.

"Then let me continue?" Ye Jianqing asked tentatively.

After getting Lu Ci Qiu's consent, Ye Jianqing continued, "Then I took off his underwear and carefully checked it. I found that the position of the inner thread ends had been changed, so I took a knife and picked out the threads bit by bit, and then I saw the picture on the lining."

"So that's why. Everyone focused their attention on the corpse, but didn't pay attention to their clothes." After hearing this, Lu Zhixing said that it was understandable that they were not found, and he also affirmed Ye Jianqing's performance.

"In that case, the marching distribution map has been found, and it is certain that the organization behind the scenes is Xinri. I can report it to my father. As for the Xinri organization, it is really troublesome and I have to deal with it later." Lu Zhixing himself couldn't tell how many times he had sighed for the Xinri organization. It was as if Xinri was deliberately against him. As long as it was related to him, the other party would always come out to make trouble.

Why did Xinri want this marching distribution map? Could it be that Xinri is from the desert?

"Then second brother, are you going to the palace now?" Lu Ci Qiu asked.

"You have worked hard these past two days. Go back and have a rest first. I will write down the course of events and then go to the palace to report to father." Lu Zhixing felt distressed when he saw the blue circles on Lu Ci Qiu's face as a result of not sleeping all night. It was really hard for him to stay with his brother even though his leg injury had not healed yet.

The marching distribution map was found, and the matter came to an end. Lu Ci Qiu also relaxed. His tense mood suddenly relaxed, and he began to feel sleepy. He yawned repeatedly. After saying goodbye to Lu Zhixing, he took Ye Jianqing back to the mansion.

Before leaving, Ye Jianqing glanced at Lu Zhixing, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Second Prince, Xinri sent you that letter, most likely to ask you to find the marching distribution map so that they can come and rob you, so be careful."

Although it was not her place to say this, and she believed that Lu Zhixing would definitely be able to think of it, she still couldn't help but open her mouth to remind him.

After these few days, Ye Jianqing knew that Lu Zhixing was a person who loved Da'an, and no matter what the purpose of his love was, he was definitely the one who least wanted Da'an to suffer from war and did not want Da'an to disappear.

Lu Zhixing glanced at her and nodded, indicating that he understood.

After Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing left, Lu Zhixing stood alone in the yard for a long time, not knowing whether he was thinking about Xinri or just daydreaming. In his hand, he was still holding the marching distribution map that Ye Jianqing had found.

"How sad, how sad." After a long time, Lu Zhixing sighed, his eyes full of sadness.

"Your Highness." Ren Hongbo walked to a place not far behind him and looked at him.

The case of the lost march distribution map is currently the most important case in the Dali Temple. Everyone in the Dali Temple is dealing with this matter. Ren Hongbo, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, naturally knows about it, especially the matter between Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe, which he also knows.

Looking at Lu Zhixing's back, he always felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have a heavy burden on his shoulders. He had been thinking about protecting Da'an all his life, but some people ignored Da'an's life and death for a mere few dollars.

"Master Ren, do you think they are from Da'an?" Lu Zhixing looked up at the sky in the distance. The sky was very blue and the breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable. But at this moment it only made people feel sad.

"Yes," Ren Hongbo replied, "They were born and raised in Da'an. Da'an gave them the best of everything, allowing them to have their own home and sheltering them. According to the household registration, they are Da'an people. But what they did was detrimental to Da'an. They didn't take Da'an to heart. They were like the most rebellious child in the family. They didn't know what they were doing. They had no great love in their hearts, only the little petty gains in front of them."

Ren Hongbo's voice was gentle yet powerful.

"Yeah, they have no idea what they are doing, but how could they do such a thing!" Lu Zhixing felt betrayed. The Ministry of War is the most important department in Da'an, and the lives of tens of millions of Da'an soldiers are related to it. Today they can sell Da'an's marching distribution map, so can they sell the lives of all Da'an soldiers tomorrow?

"Your Highness, not everyone can see clearly." Ren Hongbo also hated such people, but not everyone was like this. Such people were still a minority.

He didn't want Lu Zhixing to get stuck in a rut because of this matter.

"He who betrays his country is not worth a single tear shed for."

In fact, Lu Zhixing is not the only one who has the same trouble, Lu Ci Qiu also has it.

He is not like Lu Zhixing, who has been to the battlefield, to Beiguan, and witnessed the cruelty of the Beiguan battlefield. He is not like Ren Hongbo, who can see clearly into everyone's heart. He is not like Ye Jianqing, who has seen all kinds of people in modern times, read about the tragedy of modern times from history books, and come into contact with all kinds of spies and betrayals in modern times.

He was like a candy placed in a honey jar, not touched by anything else, never seen the daily necessities of life, and all he touched was sweet candy.

So he couldn't believe why someone would betray his country and his family and parents.

He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand these people.

But he knew that money and material desires made people fall, and he blamed them, but he didn't know who to blame, because these were the people of Da'an.

"Don't think too much." Lu Ci Qiu had not said a word since getting on the carriage. The perceptive Ye Jianqing naturally noticed that something was wrong with his mood, so he began to comfort him.

Lu Ci Qiu sighed deeply. He didn’t know how to tell Ye Jianqing. He felt that he was too immature. How could he protect his mother and second brother in this state?

"Just say whatever you want to say." Ye Jianqing couldn't stand seeing him like this.

"I'm thinking about Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe." Lu Ci Qiu said.

Ye Jianqing had not heard the story of Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe, and knew nothing about what happened between them. When he heard Lu Ciqiu say this, he thought he was lamenting their deaths, so he comforted him: "Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe's deaths were all due to Xinri. Once Xinri is captured, it will be considered revenge for them."

“???” Lu Ci Qiu looked at her in confusion.

"Aren't you thinking about their deaths?" Ye Jianqing was puzzled.

After she said that, the depression in his heart disappeared, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Qing'er is so cute!"

So Lu Ciqiu told Ye Jianqing about Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe. Ye Jianqing frowned as he listened. This kind of thing...

Such traitors can be found everywhere and in every country.

Now Ye Jianqing just wanted to take back what he had just said and say that these two people deserved to die and were not innocent at all.

"What do you think?" Lu Ci Qiu asked.

"How can I see it? I see it with my eyes!" Ye Jianqing was so angry that he even started to speak sarcastically: "These two people died not innocently at all. Gambling itself is not good, and they wanted to steal the marching distribution map and sell it for gambling. You say, this is definitely treason. As people from the Ministry of War, don't they even know that the marching distribution map is very important?

They knew, and they also knew what consequences would be caused by releasing the marching distribution map, but they didn't care. What they cared about was that this map could help them pay off their gambling debts and give them more capital to gamble.

They are not stupid, they are just bad, they just don't have Daan in their hearts, they just think: "I will sell this thing, the emperor will know that the map is missing, he will definitely re-arrange the troops, at worst Daan still has Ye Honghai, don't be afraid", they just have such thoughts in their hearts. "Ye Jianqing became angrier and angrier as he spoke, these two people were either stupid or bad, or both stupid and bad.
