First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

"General, how many days will you be gone?" Xie Yingfeng asked.

"That's not what he said." Su Jixiang smiled sweetly, "The general said that white foxes are hard to come by, so it depends on his luck. If he's lucky, it might take three to five days, but if he's unlucky, it might take ten days or even half a month!"

good good!

Xie Yingfeng silently gave Su Jixiang a thumbs up in his heart. Now he didn't have to find another excuse for Wei Ling.

The excuse Su Jixiang found is ready-made and can be used!

So Su Jixiang was helping Wei Ling to cover up. She knew that Wei Ling had left, but no one knew how much she knew about where Wei Ling went after he left.

Xie Yingfeng smiled and said, "Since the general has gone hunting for his wife, I wish the general success. Since the general is not here, I will take my leave first." He stood up, bowed and left.

It was also time for Wei Ling to go out and hunt the white fox for Su Jixiang.

The more people who know, the better!

In Wei Ling's absence, all military affairs, big and small, fell on him alone.

Xie Yingfeng did not dare to delay. He went straight back to the military camp after leaving Wei Ling's house.

He had to come up with a plan to deal with emergencies during the ten days that Wei Ling was away.

As the end of the year is approaching, even if the Turks will not launch a large-scale attack, they will definitely launch a surprise attack on Daxie's soldiers.

Winter is the most difficult season in the north.

The Turks also need to eat and celebrate the New Year, so robbing before the New Year is a normal thing for them.

Xie Yingfeng had to make corresponding adjustments to the defenses around the entire Mangcheng City.

They had been away from Mangcheng for such a long time, and this was the first time they came back, so he had to be extremely careful.

He called Nangong Rui over.

In recent years, Nangong Rui has been defending against foreign enemies. Because Nangong Rui is short of manpower, the area he can defend is limited.

Before the Black Tiger Army arrived at Mangcheng, there were battle reports saying that the Turks were raiding Daxie's cities everywhere, referring to the raids on the small cities around Mangcheng.

Because Nangong Rui's main force is stationed in Mangcheng, Mangcheng will hardly be affected.

When the Black Tiger Army just arrived at Mangcheng, the night attack launched by the Turks was just a warning to the Black Tiger Army.

Now that the Black Tiger Army has arrived, we can no longer treat the symptoms partially as we did before. Instead, we must launch a comprehensive defense to prevent another large-scale raid by the Turks on surrounding towns.

Nangong Rui has stayed here for so many years that he can be said to have a good understanding of the Turks.

He drew on the map more than a dozen towns where the Turks often moved around. The common feature of these towns was that they were surrounded by very spacious space, which was suitable for the Turkic cavalry to fight and conduct rapid raids.

"Send troops to garrison first!" Xie Yingfeng studied the map for several days, then called all the generals over. He pointed to a few points on the map and said, "Send troops to these locations first. Build watchtowers and beacon towers. If they are attacked by surprise, the surrounding troops can rush to help!"

"The general is not here. Is it feasible to mobilize troops like this?" asked Nangong Rui.

"The general gave instructions before he left." Xie Yingfeng said.

I feel so tired! Wei Ling left in a hurry and didn't make any arrangements. He just told him to act according to circumstances. Now he can only lie with his eyes open.

Fortunately, Wei Ling still left half of a military token for him in the secret compartment!

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to mobilize the entire Black Tiger Army with just his sweet words.

Xie Yingfeng showed the military token in his hand.

Everyone bowed and saluted when they saw him.

It will be easy if you have the military token.

As for the story that Su Jixiang had made up about Wei Ling going out of town to hunt for her, no one had doubted it yet. After all, they were newlyweds, so occasionally doing something out of the ordinary was acceptable.

Wucheng is a thousand miles away from Mangcheng.

The prefectural government was heavily guarded both inside and outside.

After Emperor Jing and his entourage fled here, they originally thought that the governor of Wucheng was the empress's younger brother, and that they would be safe as long as they arrived here.

As a result, the governor of Wucheng betrayed Emperor Jing. He ordered people to poison the wine, killing all the Yulin guards who were sworn to follow Emperor Jing until death, and then imprisoned Emperor Jing and the rest of his entourage.

At the same time, he submitted a letter of surrender to Emperor Longchang, and the Emperor Jing and his sister who were detained by him were his token of surrender.

After being captured, Emperor Jing was unwilling to die like this, so he conveyed a message to Emperor Longchang through a special channel.

As long as he could be kept alive, he would tell Emperor Longchang the location of a treasure that he knew.

The treasure was left over from the previous dynasty.

Their ancestors overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty and obtained the treasure hiding place of the previous dynasty. The treasures left by the previous dynasty were originally intended to allow them to make a comeback once the dynasty collapsed.

As a result, Dongshan never rose again, the dynasty was gone, and the treasure became someone else's.

Due to the huge amount of this treasure, only the legitimate monarchs of the Daxie Dynasty could know the true hiding place and how to open the treasure.

The reason why Emperor Jing fled and headed in this direction was also for this treasure. He felt that as long as he got the treasure, he could recruit soldiers and horses, fight back to the capital and regain his throne.

But now he has been betrayed by his own brother-in-law and knows that his situation is hopeless. Rather than letting the secret of the treasure be buried with himself, he might as well use the treasure to make a deal with Emperor Longchang to save his life!

There are many cases in history where deposed emperors were granted titles.

Even if I can't become an emperor, I can be an idle prince, as long as I can save my life first!

When Emperor Longchang heard about such a good thing, he thought about it again and again and decided to agree to Emperor Jing's request.

After all, Emperor Jing is no longer of any significance. Now the major threats to Emperor Longchang are Prince of Chenliu, Zhang Song and the Turks in the north!

There will inevitably be a war with Prince Chenliu and Zhang Song. The current temporary truce is just because everyone wants to recuperate.

Emperor Longchang couldn't sit firmly on the dragon throne under his buttocks for the time being.

But with the treasure that Emperor Jing mentioned, things would be different. Emperor Longchang needed money everywhere to take over the mess left by Emperor Jing. If he could use this treasure to fill the gap in the national treasury, Emperor Longchang would have the confidence!

A penny stumps a heroic man.

Therefore, after Emperor Longchang agreed to Emperor Jing's request, he sent a large number of troops to escort Emperor Jing to the capital.

The reason Wei Ling came to Wucheng this time was to kill Emperor Jing before these people sent him away from Wucheng!

Hundreds of people in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion cannot die in vain!

Emperor Longchang forbade him to hunt down Emperor Jing, so did he really not pursue and kill him?

If Emperor Jing really made a deal with Emperor Longchang, was legitimately re-ennobled, and lived comfortably in the capital, then the wronged souls of the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would never rest in peace!
