Chapter 199 She wants to see Xie Lang. Right now.
Feifeng was left in the capital for protection, and one of the deputy generals accompanying him this time was Zhou Ting.
Hearing the increasingly loud discussion, he frowned, turned around and shouted behind him: "Shut up, isn't setting up camp enough for you? Can't shut up!"
Zhou Ting was the first one to choose to join Xie Lang, and his status in the emperor's confidant was also very high. When the soldiers heard his scolding, they looked at each other and quickly stopped talking.
I realized later that they seemed to have disturbed His Majesty.
Fortunately, His Majesty does not care.
Xie Lang marked several locations on the map. Zhou Ting went forward to take a look and found that they were all dangerous places separated by mountains. However, they had one thing in common: they were adjacent to the border and were deserted.
On this day, with the snow, it was not a clear option to wait for the snow to pile up before going into the mountains.
Zhou Ting asked: "Your Majesty, do you think those barbarians will go into the mountains?"
"Hard to say."
Xie Lang looked ahead. There were long mountains, with faint snow-capped mountain tops. Covered by dark clouds, it looked desolate and lonely.
Normal people would not choose to go into the mountains in winter, but those crazy barbarians would do so at any means to achieve their goals.
The ones who have had the most extensive dealings with the barbarians in recent years are the Prince of Huailing and his wife. They met a few days ago, and I learned about the barbarians' style of doing things from them.
Xie Lang pointed to a place on the map and said, "Take your men and set off tomorrow to encircle them from here. If there are any enemies, find a way to cut off their supply lines."
Zhou Ting suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility: "I obey your command!"
Xie Lang nodded.
Although they won the first battle here, it doesn't mean that they can be careless in the subsequent battles.
On the contrary, every next step is important.
Xie Lang wanted to settle things here as soon as possible and then return to the capital to meet his tutor.
As soon as he thought that there was someone waiting for him, he instantly felt eager to go home.
After being apart for so many days, he missed Wen Hemian.
When walking on the road, your location is changing all the time. Carrier pigeons can only transmit simple content. I wonder if Wen Hemian in Beijing has received those urgent letters. Does she miss him too?
During the day, Xie Lang is the commander-in-chief of the army and must remain calm and composed. Only during his moments of rest can he let his emotions drift away.
The bonfire was burning, and the firelight reflected in his eyes. The generals looked at the emperor's back, and no one dared to get too close. Even though Xie Lang was a wise monarch in their eyes, if they got close, they would be swept away by the cold aura emanating from his body.
To be honest, I don’t dare to get close.
"Your Majesty," Zhou Ting went down to inspect the area and came back in a hurry, with a hint of joy in his voice, "There's a letter from the capital!"
There was still no change in Xie Lang's expression, but his movements were visibly anxious and he quickly took it and opened it.
It was indeed written by Wen Hemian.
First, he said that they had found the traitor, and then he said that the situation in the court was stable and nothing would go wrong. He told him to be careful outside and said some concerned words.
The words were very simple and ordinary, without even a word of love mixed in.
As Xie Lang watched, the corners of his lips lifted uncontrollably, and he suddenly felt that all the worries in his heart for many days had disappeared.
His tutor is also thinking about him!
Thinking about it this way, I feel more motivated.
While he was writing the letter, Han Shuang was also writing to him.
When our minds are connected to this point, we are not afraid of any difficulties.
He wanted to solve these troubles as soon as possible and go back to see Wen Hemian.
-
I have to say that Doctor Luo is quite courageous.
Perhaps he discovered that Wen Hemian took the matter of the traitor lightly and had no time to worry about it for the time being, so he spread the news twice more.
This time they were prepared, so the first-hand information he received was false. He did not doubt it and spread it secretly.
He usually keeps a low profile, doesn't have many friends, has very simple interpersonal relationships, and there is no secret passage in his home leading out. After watching him for many days, we were finally able to confirm that he really has no accomplices.
Without any scruples, Wen Hemian did not hesitate any longer and immediately ordered his men to arrest the man.
The guards followed her orders and surrounded the Luo family silently. As for the old lady Luo who was out worshiping Buddha, someone would capture her.
This was done in secret.
The imperial city is not absolutely safe. Before arresting people, Wen Hemian ordered the news to be blocked. Huo Ping quietly brought people into the palace, fearing that they would do something weird on the way, so he ordered people to watch them closely and tied them up and threw them to the ground.
This is also true for the old lady of the Luo family.
She took good care of herself and didn't look too old, but she was old after all, and after all this work, her body was not in good shape. She stared at the ground in horror, feeling the shadow looming over her.
"Li Yifang."
The moment he called out the name, Wen Hemian clearly saw the person on the ground tremble.
"The last nail buried in Prince Jia's heart turned out to be so deep."
"Master Wen..." The old woman's voice was trembling as she made a pale rebuttal, "All this is my fault. I forced my son to do this out of filial piety. I beg Master Wen to forgive him!"
If what was investigated is true, then from a personal perspective, she is indeed a person of loyalty and righteousness, but this matter cannot be viewed from an individual perspective.
Wen Hemian was not shaken at all after listening to her long string of words.
"No matter if he is innocent or not, as an official appointed by the court, he dared to pass on important information while Your Majesty was on the march, which is treason. It is unforgivable both morally and rationally. You should take care of yourself."
After Wen Hemian finished speaking, he stopped listening to her nonsense and had him taken to the Ministry of Justice for detention and dealt with accordingly.
In the following few days, Wen Hemian received several battle reports one after another. Some of them were written by Xie Lang himself, some were written by his subordinates, and there were even a few letters from her parents. They were all kinds of things.
She read them all one by one.
While settling matters in the capital, she suddenly realized that the battle reports written by her subordinates were fine, but the reports written by her parents and Xie Lang were all about good news and not bad news. They only mentioned where they had won and where they had sent their men, but did not say whether they had been injured or what difficulties they had encountered.
This is the nature of close people.
Wen Hemian thought about himself and couldn't help laughing.
These days, even letters can’t be trusted. You have to see it with your own eyes to know what’s going on.
There should be no problem in Beijing for now. If it ends quickly, maybe I can get back before the spring.
Wen Hemian lowered his eyelashes and reached out to touch the letters that he had read more than once. He felt empty, but the thoughts in his mind became more and more intense, as if they would soon burst out without being able to be held back.
She wants to see Xie Lang.
Right now.
