General Lu never talked to me about the matter in the north, so he didn't know. He just listened to his son-in-law's order and asked me to come to the government office to stay by your side."

Jiang Chengjia patted her head and said depressedly: She is really confused when she sleeps. She forgets that Qianshan knows nothing.

The girl loosened her muscles and bones and went to the outside of the Shuiting Pavilion.

Qianshan followed her closely and asked, "Where are the girl going now?"

The girl answered quickly: "I'll explain it to you later. Now let's disguise yourself with me first."

She asked the person in charge of the prefect's house for a hat, took two horses away from the stable, and ran around the path towards the side gate of the border town. Before she could reach the side gate, she saw two black and brown horses running towards them not far away.

On the horse throne were Ning Nanyou and Ang Lee who left the government office early in the morning.

Jiang Chengjia was about to wave to them, but saw the two of them walking around the path at the entrance of the alley and avoiding the frontal encounter with them.

The girl who stopped holding the reins tightly, her expression was stunned, staring at the two men's long and long backs in confusion. After thinking for a while, she quietly turned her head and returned to the government office from the path.

The master and servant arrived in front of the mansion and saw two black and brown horses stopping under the steps.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengjia immediately got off the horse, ordered the servant who came to lead the horse, and rushed into the mansion in a hurry.

Qianshan followed along the way, but almost failed to catch up, and then stood firm. When she saw her master rushing into the prefect's mansion in a hurry, she sighed helplessly.

Inside the mansion, Jiang Chengjia walked to the Shui Pavilion and happened to see Ning Nanyou coming from the corridor.

She paused and did not immediately meet her. Because the husband on the opposite side quickly rushed towards her as soon as he saw her.

I saw the husband with a cold face, and hugged her in his arms, anxiously and worriedly, "Where have you been?"

Jiang Chengjia was held by him and tiptoed gently: "I'm going to find you. Qianshan said, you and Ang Lee quietly left the city early in the morning. I thought something had happened, so I wanted to go to the suburbs to find Qian Hui and ask, but before I even left the city, I saw you and Ang Lee return from the side door."

After hearing her explanation, the husband slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought... Deng Qing ordered someone to snatch you out of the government office."

Jiang Chengjia said laughing and crying: "What are you thinking? This place is the prefect's mansion, so how could he break in so easily?"

Ning Nanyou hugged her for a while before he let go.

Only after breaking out of his arms did Jiang Chengjia have room to look at him.

The husband looked tired, his eyes were slightly red and covered with bloodshot, as if he had worked hard all night.

She frowned and said, "What happened? Why are you and Ang Lee...?"

Ning Nanyou held her hand and walked deep into the front yard of the Shuiting Pavilion. After no one was around, he said: "Last night, Zhou Qi brought a letter of alliance written by Ashanda to the Protectorate. Deng Qing had already led Qian Hui and Zhao Fu's two battalions of soldiers to cross the river quietly to Cangshan in the night. Ang Lee was worried and ordered people to go secretly. He accidentally discovered that the Canghe River in front of the city gate had broken off in advance. Deng Qing led the 50,000 soldiers of the two battalions to wading through the riverbed extremely smoothly and heading to Cangshan. Ang Lee felt that something was strange about this, so he came to find me in the middle of the night."

Jiang Chengjia was stunned and frowned: "There was still water flowing in Canghe yesterday, how could it be that it suddenly stopped flowing?"

Ning Nanyou nodded and said, "You are right. That's why Ang Lee and I quietly left the city to check."

Jiang Chengjia: "Then...what did you find out?"

Ning Nanyou nodded and replied: "We found the deep mountains in the upper reaches of the Canghe River, and found that there was a huge wooden gate there at some time, blocking the influx of the water."

Jiang Chengjia was surprised and said, "Wooden Gate? The deep in the upper reaches of the Cang River is a mountain. Who can build a wooden gate there?"

Ning Nanyou: "This is exactly the strange thing. But in order not to alert the enemy, I and Ang Lee sent a few soldiers there and quietly returned to the city, intending to secretly investigate the matter."

Jiang Chengjia lowered his eyes and frowned, and said with a worried look on his face: "If the wooden gate was also one of Zhou Yuanmo's plans... I wouldn't understand it. What exactly did he want to do? If the source of Canghe was blocked, Deng Qing would be able to escape successfully when the Huns were counterattacked. What was he trying to do?"

Ning Nanyou agreed: "I didn't understand this, so I dare not act rashly."

The girl in front of her thoughts seriously, as if she had remembered something, and the expression on her face became more and more serious.

She said, "But..."

The girl's eyes gathered coldly: "I have always had a doubt in my heart... Why would Deng Yueyu agree to Li Jian's request at the autumn banquet and ask him to go to the Protectorate's House to attend the banquet with him? Is Deng Yueyu also related to Zhou Yuanmo's plan? Is there a possibility that he is also a chess hurdle set by Zhou Yuanmo, and the reason why the Canghe River is cut off is related to Deng Yueyu?"

Her question stunned Ning Nanyou.

These days, he has been thinking about why Li Jian wanted to go to the Protectorate with Deng Yueyu? He has never thought about the question raised by Jiang Chengjia.

The husband's expression gradually changed from calmness to solemnity.

Seeing that he was like this, Jiang Chengjia asked, "Has you not thought about this question?"

The man's face gradually became embarrassed, and he lowered his eyes and said silently.

Jiang Chengjia said strangely: "Erlang, you are so careful, why..."

Ning Nanyou frowned: "I was careless. Deng Yueyu and Li Jian have already torn their faces apart. Even if Li Jian came to ask for help in a low voice, he shouldn't agree."

Jiang Chengjia: "Among all the things happening now, there is only Deng Yueyu, the doubtful point."

The husband in front of him nodded solemnly: "You reminded me. When you think about it this way, there are traces to follow. A few days ago, Zhao Fu told Lu Xun that Deng Yueyu had been there for a month, and after noon every day, he would take his confidant troops upstream along the Canghe River. At first, he thought it was Deng Yueyu who was training soldiers, but later he found that every time Deng Yueyu returned with his subordinates, he was covered in dust and mud, and was in a mess. From this, the wooden gate deep in the upper reaches of the Canghe River was likely to be built by Deng Yueyu."

Jiang Chengjia still looked heavy: "It's just... even though we guessed this, we still can't know what Zhou Yuanmo wanted to do."

Ning Nanyou shook his head and denied: "Maybe...this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yuanmo."

Jiang Chengjia said in confusion: "How can you be sure that it has nothing to do with Zhou Yuanmo?"

Ning Nanyou: "Just you said, Zhou Yuanmo led Deng Qing out of the city and set up an ambush to attack the Huns to trap Deng Qing on the grassland and wipe out all the main forces of Changming Army in one fell swoop. However, if the Canghe River cut off, it would not be able to stop Deng Qing's footsteps. As long as you are good at using the terrain of Cangshan, you can easily escape. Why did Zhou Yuanmo break up the situation he had finally arranged to ruin?"

Jiang Chengjia touched his chin and nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. But if this happens, why did Deng Yueyu cut off the source?"

The husband lowered his eyes and found it difficult to figure out this matter.

The two fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, they had no idea.

Just as they were about to go to find Ang Lee to discuss the matter, outside the water pavilion, the person they were looking for also came around from the corridor and met them head-on.

Ning Nanyou was just about to inform Ang Lee of his guess, but when he heard Ang Lee speak first, he hurriedly said: "Mr. The emergency report came from the north of the city! Ashanda had some information about the reason, so he advanced the day of the alliance. Deng Qing sent an envoy to discuss, but was detained by the Wang Court. He seemed to be interested in provoking trouble now. The guards on both sides of Cangshan found that two small groups of Xiongnu infantry were groping in the deep forest and were quietly climbing the mountain to the border town."

Ning Nanyou's face changed drastically, and his expression immediately condensed: "Is the news true?"

Ang Lee nodded: "This news is that in the early morning of this day, you asked me to send a small team of troops to Cangshan to inspect and investigate Changming's army to send people to the government office."

Ning Nanyou frowned tightly and quickly lowered his eyes to think about this matter. The girl standing beside her was startled, showing a sudden realization expression, and said hurriedly: "I've been killed! Ashanda has no intention of waiting for the day of the alliance to launch another surprise attack! Now Cangshan is full of Changming's main force. If Ashanda sneaks into attack at this time, he will definitely catch Deng Qing off guard! By then, Changming's army will be in chaos, Deng Qing will lead his troops to flee, unable to stabilize the morale of the army, and lost in the deep mountains, and that's all!"

She thought of this first, and after she said it, the two men present looked surprised.

Ang Lee had a strange look on his face and stared at Jiang Chengjia for a long time.

Ning Nanyou made a judgment immediately: "How come I didn't expect this! Ashanda was cunning and planned this battle for many years, how could he wait?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Ang Lee. Leng Yi had reached his eyes. Han Shuang said with a face full of face: "I would like to ask the county magistrate to gather people to go to the commander's mansion and prepare for the battle with Bai Weizhang."

After the words were finished, the husband was about to rush out.

The girl beside her grabbed him and said, "Take me with you."

Ning Nanyou wanted to refuse, but when he saw the firmness in her eyes, he could only nod and agree.

The two ran to the outside of the government office together.

Ang Lee was still out of his state. In a blink of an eye, he found that a man and a woman in front of him had long disappeared. So he hurriedly stepped forward and chased after him, panting on the steps in front of the government office, and shouted to the couple who were about to leave: "Young Master! Where are you going?"

Ning Nanyou had taken Jiang Chengjia on the horse at this moment, holding the reins and looking at the steps, and said to him with a serious expression: "Mr. Li, the Huns want to sneak attack the main force of Changming Army who was ambushing Cangshan. I will take a man and horse to inform them. However, Ashanda must have made sufficient preparations. The war is about to break out. I hope Lord Li and the commander of the hundred will guard the border city! Don't let the Tartars break through the city!"
