【One hundred and sixty-seventh chapter】The Protector's Mansion is hurt at night

Jiang Chengjia immediately closed his eyes, turned his head, and hid in the couch to change his clothes.

The couple quickly changed their clothes and went to the door to put the bolt on the door together.

As soon as he pushed the door, he saw Qianshan lying on the door with his ears pressed against him and eavesdropping. The two of them were speechless at the same time.

Qianshan smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss and the young master are so fast?"

Her tone was strange, and her eyes were filled with thief.

Ning Nan shook his eyebrows and his face turned octave darker.

quick?

What's fast?

Before Jiang Chengjia could react, he turned his head to look at Ning Nanyou. Seeing that he was very unhappy, he immediately realized.

She laughed and said, "Qianshan, what do you think in your mind all day long?"

Ning Nanyou looked at the master and servant coldly with a stinky face.

The pressure of his body was so scary. Qian Shan quickly stopped the words and did not dare to continue joking. He roared twice and changed the topic: "Young Master... General Lu Xun sent someone to send a message. He said that the matter had been done."

At the moment in Deng Qingke's Mansion, for the sake of caution, Qianshan no longer called Ning Nanyou as his lord, but changed his name and called him "Young Master" to prevent the spies around the mansion from seeing anything abnormal.

Ning Nanyou frowned, feeling that things were going too well.

He still remembered everything he dreamed last night and subconsciously felt something was wrong in his heart.

Jiang Chengjia showed joy on his face and praised: "Lu Xun's speed is so amazing."

She turned her head and looked at Ning Nanyou, but saw that the Langjun's face was not as joy as she had expected, but was shrouded in a layer of sorrow.

Jiang Chengjia took his arm and asked quietly in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Ning Nanyou shook his head, hid his thoughts, curled his lips slightly and smiled: "Lu Xun has always been good at doing things, how could I be unhappy?"

The girl didn't believe it and said stubbornly: "You are just unhappy. Are you still worried about Zhou Yuanmo?"

Ning Nan was worried and turned his eyes gently, but he never spoke.

Jiang Chengjia turned to Qianshan and asked in a low voice: "Can the border city's intelligence network find out the news about Zhou Yuanmo?"

Qian Shan shook her head and said, "No, the Qianji Department inferred that Mr. Zhou is likely to have left the border town."

Jiang Chengjia also frowned and began to think.

Their plan is Zhou Yuanmo. If they cannot grasp his whereabouts, they will become very passive.

It is normal for Ning Nan to worry about the present.

The girl was also worried at this moment. But the husband gradually broke free from this thought. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it. Let's block the water and soil. There will always be a day when he fights with him. The more he is afraid of, the more he will be."

Jiang Chengjia glanced at him and saw his expression fading, and seemed to really not care about this matter.

Qianshan looked at them and always felt that these two people had their own thoughts.

The breeze under the corridor blew over the pine trees under the courtyard, and raised a layer of fine sand. The sky was gloomy, and it was very suitable for their mood at this moment.

In the next few days, things went very smoothly according to Ning Nanyou's expectations.

The news that merchants in Beidicheng sold iron and black silk reached the ears of the Huns.

Several leaders of the Hun tribe heard the news and thought it was a good opportunity to make contributions. They competed and secretly planned in private, hoping to invade the city in the middle of the night, snatch the raw materials, and make the armor worn by the soldiers.

The news that the leader of the Hun tribe wanted to attack in the middle of the night was also spread to Deng Qing Mansion at the same time.

At this time, it is not advisable to raise an army to fight, whether it is the Huns or the Great Wei.

Although autumn has arrived, the Canghe River, which spans the grassland in front of Beidi County, has not yet reached the dry season.

The Huns were extremely bad at water. If they crossed the river, they would consume a lot of troops and material resources, which would not be worth the loss.

The Cangjiang River is the natural barrier of Beidi County, connecting to the Beihe River in the south, firmly protecting the Beidi in the center.

The troops of the Great Wei Dynasty were dispersed, and even if they were guarding this surging river, they did not have enough combat power to deal with the strong attack of the Huns. If the Huns sent troops at this time, Deng Qing would resist at most three months. But as long as he waited for another half month, the situation would be different. Deng Qing had already noticed Ashanda's wolfish ambitions, and he was able to send a letter to Luoyang, and at the same time he also wrote four letters to borrow soldiers from the surrounding states. Although the way to borrow soldiers was likely to be cut off by Zhou Yuanmo, the urgent request for help from him to Luoyang could still win a glimmer of hope for the north.

The turbulent flow of the river has gradually subsided, and in another half a month it will be its dry season. In another half a month, Luoyang Dengfu will get news, plead with His Majesty, and send reinforcements.

So, both sides are waiting for the arrival of the dry season.

Therefore, the Huns' attempt to attack Mao Tiexuansi at night fell into Deng Qing's ears, and became a reason for him to be frightened and unable to sleep day and night.

On the eve of the autumn banquet, Deng Qing walked back and forth in the middle of Qinglu, with a gloomy and dim look.

In the early morning of the second day after the visit of the Black-clothed Guest to the Protectorate's Mansion at night, Zhou Qi sent a letter telling him that the Deng brothers and sisters in the mansion were in contact with the Huns. In the letter, Zhou Qi honestly told the other Black-clothed Guest that he was sent by him. He told Shao Qian that he was another injured Black-clothed Guest, saying that although he did not look like the person who had hidden military supplies for the Huns in the city, he still couldn't get out of touch with the Huns. Deng Qing was more careful.

Deng Qing also felt that Shao Qian was strange. With his suspicion in his heart, he believed Zhou Qi's words, which made Bai Weimeng and Dong Daofu cooperate with him in acting, intending to test Shao Qian.

But he didn't expect that this man really didn't know how to be skilled in martial arts, and there seemed to be no scars on his body. And Shao Yan couldn't see anything strange.

The two brothers and sisters returned to his guest house and did not make any abnormal behavior.

Everything seemed to be the result of his own suspicion of making mistakes.

But since he drove the two of them out of the Protectorate Mansion, he didn't really want to invite them back.

Unexpectedly, just two days later, news came from the border town that the Huns were targeting the batch of raw materials in Shao Qian's hand.

This made Deng Qing's heart, which had just calmed down, doubted again.

Could it be that Shao Qian saw that there was no hope of doing business with the Protectorate, so he contacted the leader of the Hun tribe in private and wanted to resell the raw materials to aliens?

Deng Qing became more anxious the more he thought about it. If he had known this, he would have been better off leaving the Shaw brothers and sisters in the present. In this way, it would be easier to monitor than they were in the guest house.

If this batch of raw materials for making armor really fell into the hands of the Huns, then once the northern borders were in war, their chances of victory would be less.

Dong Daofu watched his lord walking back and forth in the house, and was dizzy: "Lord... don't worry. At worst, I will take my brothers to the guest house and surround it. Even if the Huns attacked at night, there is no need to be afraid."

This is indeed the simplest and most rude way.

But Deng Qing had another concern. If they took down the Huns who attacked at night, it would be like giving a reason to ask the Huns to lead their troops to attack.

If the Huns really crossed the river and attacked for a strong attack, even if they consumed military and material resources, the border city defense at this moment would definitely not be their opponent.

Dong Daofu didn't expect this and thought that the Huns were at fault for this matter, so they should not take advantage of such reasons to raise troops to fight.

However, he did not count the cunning and shamelessness of the Hun King Ashanda.

The war was quelled in the border for many years. Deng Qing relied on land sales to try to please Ashanda, which prevented the border town from igniting war for several years.

So much so that his confidant leaders and military generals were almost forgetting what kind of person Ashanda was.

Even though they didn't know or remember, Deng Qing still dared not forget it.

The more strange it was, the more revived it was, Chang Meng's army, who was leading the strong troops on the border of the Wei Dynasty, could not escape the fate of being dismembered by Ashanda's five horses.

Deng Qing was afraid at this moment.

Even though he was a young man who was full of energy and wanted to spread blood on the battlefield, his glory and wealth for more than ten years had already wiped out his ambitions.

He was afraid of death, very afraid of death. He was afraid that one day he would die on the grassland like a strange thing, and be torn into his stomach by a hungry wolf pack, and he would die without a complete body.

The young man stopped in front of the window, stood with his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and said helplessly: "Dong Daofu, tomorrow you will go to the guest house and pick up the Shaw brothers and sisters into the house."

Dong Daofu was surprised, and loosened the sword in his arms, and hung down with his arms: "Do you want to re-activate these two people?"

Deng Qing's eyes were deep: "Not only do we need to use these two people, we also have to buy all the iron and black silk in Shao Qian's hands and put them on the mansion."

Dong Daofu was puzzled: "Lord, you have never used anyone you have suspected. Why break the principles for a few Hun leaders this time? Although the Shaw brothers and sisters did not show any flaws, it does not mean that they are not suspicious at this moment.

It is not certain that the matter of storing the raw materials for the armor was stored in this city, which was reported by Shao Qian himself. He deliberately wanted to contact the Huns. Such a villain who colluded with the enemy and treason... Isn't he afraid of causing a great disaster in the palace again?"

Deng Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Even if you are right, I have to take them back. Even if Shao Qian deliberately sent the news to the Huns, I can't let him succeed. Those iron and black silk must belong to us. Never fall into the hands of the Huns again.

Ashanda no longer knows how many military supplies he has stockpiled, let alone the batch of military supplies he hid in the city, we have not found it yet. If we let this batch of armor materials fall into their hands, then we will be even more disadvantageous."

Dong Daofu did not touch his concerns, always thinking that the border city's military supplies were sufficient, and even if the Huns attacked it, it would be fine.

"Lord, even if the Huns attacked us, we might not lose. The Changming Army's troops are the second largest army in the Great Wei Dynasty, and they are strong. Besides, the imperial court has allocated a lot of military supplies over the years. We might not lose."

Deng Qing was cautious by nature. Even if Dong Daofu was his confidant, he would not tell him about embezzling military pay and selling military supplies.

Only he knows whether the military supplies deposit is sufficient or not.
