231, Chapter 231

Du Ke came out of the palace, left the Ministry of War, and went straight home.

On the way, he kept talking. It was known that there were two groups of people in Yongzhou Yongjun who were transporting the medicine from Yunxiang County. One group was the people in the imperial study that day. They were all the emperor's confidants and had seen the power of the medicine. Wei Ting came back from Yunxiang County that day and brought back the finished medicine, so they had seen the power of the finished medicine. At that time, there were only a few people in the imperial study.

The other group was the imperial guards headed by Yu Nian, a total of 101 people. In fact, those imperial guards only knew that they were going to transport secret weapons and medicines from Yunxiang County to Yongzhou military camp, but they had never seen the power of the secret weapons.

So, was it someone in the imperial study that day who told the barbarian, or was it someone in the imperial guards who told the barbarian?

Du Ke was a fool, so he naturally thought that it was more likely someone in the imperial study. The imperial guards knew the power of the medicines, and even if they told the barbarian, there was a secret weapon here, and under such a powerful situation, would the barbarian come to steal this so-called secret weapon?

Therefore, Du Ke suspected that someone present that day told the barbarian about this matter.

Moreover, after some of the barbarians surrendered, the remaining people were not a threat to the Yongzhou military camp. So why would the barbarians harass the border at this time? Do they want a stable life?

Du Ke rubbed his temples. He didn't care about these things. Anyway, he was on both sides. He was a royalist and stood neutral. No matter which side was unlucky, it had nothing to do with him.

Besides, at his age, the emperor was in his prime. It was estimated that when he retired or died, the emperor would still be alive, so was it okay to be his royalist?

When Du Ke returned home, he wrote a letter to Qin Fang and asked the soldiers of Yunxiang County to send it back.

At the same time, Qin Fang finally found the clue after two days.

The hunter who provided the clues led everyone to the place where he set the trap.

"It's here." The hunter said, "At 3 a.m. that day, I was asleep, so I came to see the trap to see if there were any prey. Unexpectedly, I didn't see any prey, but I found some movement at the bottom of the cliff. So I went to the bottom of the cliff to see what they looked like. First, it was too dark and I was some distance away from them; second, they were covering their faces. I saw them burn something and left after I passed by me. The trap was set up, and one of them stepped into it, and one of his legs was caught by the trap made by the common people. Then when they left, they took the trap made by the common people with them, and the trap caught the other person's foot and left together. "

Qin Fang picked up the trap on the ground: "Did you make this trap? It's a little different from other people's traps." Qin Fang naturally saw traps, so he could tell the difference between the traps of the hunters at a glance. The gears of this trap are a little different, with barbs. If it is caught, it will be difficult to remove it, and it will probably be bloody. Just touching it, it feels very painful.

Lie Que said, "Yes, this is the trap I made myself."

Qin Fang nodded and returned the trap to the other party. After a few busy days, they found this clue. Then, they followed this clue to the town where the village was located. They went to the town's clinic and asked if there were any people who had their feet pinched by traps and came to see a doctor. Then they went to the blacksmith shop and asked if there were any people who had their feet pinched by traps and came to fix the traps.

After asking, they all said no.

There were no clues in the town, so Qin Fang led his men to the county town. He only asked the county town's clinic and blacksmith shop, and also asked the county town's city gate guards. As a result, no such person was seen.

"General, the clue is gone just like that?" Captain Yang was very convinced. He had worked so hard for several days, and it was so easy to find such a clue, and it was gone just like that.

Qin Fang said: "There is no way. The other party must hide, and we can't find it at all. Moreover, the other party only injured his foot, changed his clothes, and could pretend to be a healthy person and leave here. We have no way to find it." There was little hope for this matter. At least Huo Yao was not really intercepted by the other party, which was enough. "Let's go back to Yunxiang County."

At the same time, at the Yongzhou border, Han Zhen brought his own people and fifty cavalrymen from Yunxiang County, and finally delivered Huo Yao safely.

Led by Yonghe Hou, Yonghe Hou's son, various guerrilla generals, and thousand-man captains all watched Huo Yao.

The prince said, "Is this weapon really that powerful?"

Han Zhen recalled the scene he had witnessed: "If there are enough things, a mountain can be flattened in an instant." The small bag Qin Fang tried could blow up the sandbags. If there are enough... I dare not believe it. Unfortunately, this ore material is limited and can only be used up.

Just as the prince spoke, someone outside reported: "My Lord, the Imperial Guards are here."

Imperial Guards?

Marquis Yonghe came out and said, "General Yu." Yu was a garrison commander of the Imperial Guards for many years and a person close to the emperor. Although Marquis Yonghe was at the border all year round, he would go to Beijing from time to time. The last time the new emperor ascended the throne, he went to Beijing to meet General Yu.

Yu Nian said: "Young general, please see the Marquis." Yu Nian still respected the Yonghe Marquis who was guarding the border. "Master Marquis, the young general is here this time. I have something important to confirm with you, and I have brought you some important information." An important message."

Marquis Yonghe: "General Yu, please come in."

Yu Nian asked other imperial guards to wait outside. He followed Yonghe Hou and happened to see the medicine box inside as well as Han Zhen and others. ‌‌, there is □□ in the box inside the ‌‌ passage. ‌‌ After that, Yu Nian said directly: "Master Hou, the matter is urgent, so the young general said it bluntly. On the way to transport the medicine, we met the person who intercepted the medicine. The other person was wearing barbarian clothes and passed by General Qin. Correction, the other party is indeed a barbarian, not someone else pretending to be... General Qin said that he has already sent someone to deliver the firewood, does he know anything about this? "

Marquis Yonghe said: "The gunpowder has indeed arrived..." After a pause, Marquis Yonghe immediately said to Xizi, "Quickly assemble the team, we will attack the barbarians today."

The reason why Marquis Yonghe made such a sudden decision was immediately understood by his wife. Since Manzi knew about the fire, in case they had enough time to prepare a backup plan, the Yonghe Army would take the opportunity to beat them to death. At this moment, Barbarian probably still knows that the fire medicine has hit the Yongzhou military camp, so...

‌子: "‌." He took the people inside back to another camp to discuss things.

After Yu Nian got confirmation from Yonghe Marquis, he immediately left with his people. He did not stay at the Yongzhou military camp longer. On the one hand, the emperor is still waiting for his return; on the other hand, there is going to be a war here, and there is nothing wrong with him staying.

Qin Fang ‌‌ said about the situation in Yongzhou. At this moment, Qin Fang has returned to the general's mansion.

Qin Linyang, a child, is one year and two months old. He has not seen his father recently, and he feels a little missing. On weekdays, he also sleeps with his father and mother, but every time before going to bed, his father always plays with him, making him cry by holding him up high. ‌There was no one to lift up, and Qin Linyang’s children felt a little nostalgic.

When he woke up early this morning, he climbed onto his mother's body and looked at the other side of his mother. The person who lifted him up had not come back yet.

Yang Haiyan was naturally awake. She looked at her son with interest: "Baby, what are you doing?"

The child Qin Linyang looked at his mother, and then boldly lay down outside his mother. He also spoke and climbed down along the edge of the bed.

Yang Haiyan quickly grabbed her son: "You can do it, you can even get out of bed."

Qin Linyang, a child, grinned: "Mom..."

The soft voice can make Yang Haiyan's heart soften. "What are you doing?"

Qin Linyang, a kid, hugged his mother's hand and pulled her out.

"It's still on the bed." Yang Haiyan said.

Child Qin Linyang blinked, and then said: "Dad...Dad..."

Pfft... Yang Haiyan laughed out loud: "Are you your father?"

When Qin Linyang heard this, he became even more anxious: "Dad...Dad..."

Yang Haiyan kissed him on the face: "Mom is also worried about your father, but your father has something to do with your father, so let's just worry about it. It's useless to worry about it. You can only wait and don’t let him worry. When you grow up, you can help your father.”

With that said, Yang Haiyan got up with her son.

Qin Fang has been away for a few days. At the beginning, Yang Haiyan was very anxious, but now and again, Yang Haiyan was also nervous. Today I had breakfast and took my son outside. We walked a little further, right at the gate of the General's Mansion. My son was practicing walking at the gate, and when he was tired from walking, he ate some complementary food. As a complementary food, she used a spoon to scrape ripe apples into apple juice for her son to eat. Speaking of which, this year’s apple pears are still bearing fruit for the first time. The first fruiting number is ‌, which is only one-fifth of the normal number. But it is only one-fifth of the normal number. , enough for them to eat. One acre of apples and one acre of pears. Under normal circumstances in ancient times, the yield of apples per mu was about two thousand kilograms, and one-fifth of it was about four hundred kilograms. As for pears, the normal yield per mu is about 3,000 jins, and one-fifth of it is 600 jins.

Although the result was the first time, the taste was very sweet, and Yang Haiyan felt that it had something to do with the taste. Produced on the platform, there is absolutely nothing bad about it.

When Qin Fang was working, the apples were not yet ripe, so only these two were ripe.

"Mom...ah..." Qin Linyang opened his mouth. This sweet apple cider is his favorite.

Yang Haiyan scraped some apple sand and fed it to her son, and the child happily left in the stroller. The eaves in front of the General's Mansion are relatively large, and you will be exposed to the sun just as you walk here. The children will have a lot of fun walking there. Moreover, you can still see pedestrians across some roads, which is comparable to that in the General's Mansion‌. Children love fun.
