On the steps, the Lord of Northern Han stood there and paced around. Yang Ye knelt on the ground and said, "I am guilty of losing my teacher and humiliating the country, and I deserve to die!"

His face was almost against the ground. The broken brick in front of him happened to be where the Holy Times stood before the war. It was still the same way, with a crooked crack on the bricks and stones. He buried his head so low, which was indeed ashamed. What the generals were most reluctant to do was defeat.

However, apart from this feeling, Yang Ye's mind felt a little empty and he was not afraid. Because with his understanding of Liu Jun and the process of this battle, he felt that although he was guilty of defeat, he would not be punished for serious crimes.

Sure enough, after reading the memorial, Liu Jun turned around and asked Feng Jinke who was kneeling beside him: "Why did he lose so quickly?"

Feng Jinke replied cautiously: "Go back to Your Majesty, the Zhou army is brave in fighting, has a high morale, and is desperate to take care of their lives... The criminals are waiting to do their best."

Liu Jun sighed in public and said, "I have to step up the management of Jinyang City and the city defense. I have to defend the city. I will send people to the capital to urge the Liao Kingdom to send reinforcements."

With the strength of the Northern Han Kingdom, there is no way to do this except seeking help from the Liao Kingdom. It is hard to cook without rice. This is also the reason why almost none of the Northern Han kings and ministers had a good impression of the Liao people and still formed an alliance with the Khitan and claimed to be self-proclaimed.

...Yang Ye was indeed not punished, and was still given an important task to serve as the most important deployment in Nancheng. But he had no energy that day and went straight home. He was tired both physically and mentally, and suddenly felt depressed.

The battle of the Baigutuan shocked the Northern Han Kingdom and was related to the lives of countless people. Jinyang had already spread all over the Yang family. The Yang family had already known that when Yang Ye came back, they were cautious, fearing that when he was in a bad mood, they would run into trouble.

Yang Ye sat in a hall, and the surroundings were quiet. At least he could finally let go tonight... But he couldn't be calm inside, and there was no one around him, but there seemed to be a battlefield full of swords and iron horses in front of him, and the shouts and screams seemed to be echoing in his ears.

The distant fanatical voice of long live has made Yang Ye tremble. The bravery and madness of the Great Zhou imperial guards made him unable to escape. Can this battle really be fought?

"Bang!" Yang Ye slapped the armrest of the chair with his palm, stood up suddenly, and then walked back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back. His messy footsteps seemed to be his depressed and wandering heart.

At this moment, a cloth robe in her fifties walked to the door and bent down and said, "Mr. Lang, I have received this, please watch it."

Yang Ye took it over, and it was an envelope with no words on it. He tore open the hole and took out a piece of paper from it. When he saw the handwriting, he was stunned. His low mood suddenly became energetic, which was stimulated. The handwriting was from his younger brother Yang Chongxun! He browsed the content again, roughly urging him to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light and take the opportunity to surrender to the Great Zhou.

Yang Ye quickly folded the letter paper and covered the contents on it. He felt a little strange... After thinking a little, the first thing that was strange was how could his younger brother suddenly write such a letter? Yang Chongxun would not write a letter easily, especially after Yang Chongxun was surrendered by the Zhou Dynasty and led Linzhou to re-enter the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course, there were very few flags he had to hold. Linzhou was too remote and there were not many people. All countries could not take care of it, so they mostly just wanted someone to persuade and win over it.

This letter was mostly written by Yang Chongxun according to the meaning of the Zhou court! Yang Ye was a little surprised because although his reputation was very famous in the Northern Han Dynasty, he really did not expect that even Tokyo would go through a lot of trouble to win him over.

At this moment, the old slave suddenly spoke, "There are a few words that I don't know whether to say or not."

Yang Ye said kindly: "You are from Linzhou with me, what are you talking about inappropriately?"

The old slave then said, "I have never seen the person who sent the letter... The Yang Mansion in Linzhou must have accepted other people over the years, and it is not surprising that this person can find me as soon as he comes; and I don't recognize him, how can he recognize me? I also know that I am a person that Langjun can trust... So he dares to hand over this seemingly secret letter to me."

The old man paused and said, "I think back, the person who drove the car was a groom who had just entered Yang's man's man's concubine, two months ago... that person was the one who was the protector of the husband's concubine Hongying."

"Are you the sender?" Yang Ye asked.

The old man said, "At that time, at the entrance of an alley, there was no one around the old slave, so he didn't keep him and left."

"I understand." Yang Ye waved his sleeves.

The old man bent down and bowed and left the door silently.

Yang Ye thought about Lao Nu's words carefully and remembered the fact that Hong Ying teased the Northern Han Dynasty several times before, disregarding justice and becoming an alliance with the Khitan. He didn't care before, but with the matter now... he really felt a little suspicious.

I couldn't help but go straight to Hongying's room.

Hongying was happy and wiping her tears, and she was still as gentle and charming as before. The woman was just her mother-in-law and had too many emotions, but Yang Ye was not disgusted, but she just felt that she didn't have that much emotion.

Yang Ye asked calmly: "Hongying, what do you think I treat you?"

Hongying hurriedly said with a touching look: "Your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I love you very much."

Yang Ye nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked seriously: "That groom, is it really your cousin?"

Hongying's eyes swept across Yang Ye's face, pursed her lips and said, "Why did Langjun suddenly ask about this?"

Yang Ye said: "I suddenly heard him say today that I have been in Tokyo... Didn't you be in Yangzhou before?"

"My cousin has not been in the same place with me all the time. I heard that he has been in Tokyo for a while, but I don't know much about it... After entering the Shen family, he rarely interacts with relatives and rarely meets with his cousin." A hint of panic flashed across Hongying's face.

When Yang Ye heard this, he suddenly felt a little sad. This woman was indeed a concubine like a slave, and it was nothing, but he had been with her day and night for the past few months, and he treated her sincerely... Only today did he realize that this woman was full of lies!

Yang Ye felt that he was being used to sympathize at the beginning, and this feeling made him angry! Now he has speculated that Hongying might be a detailed work sent by Tokyo. As long as she and her so-called cousin were taken down and interrogated separately, they would definitely confirm their origins.

But Yang Ye endured this fire and curiosity about the truth.

At first, he himself didn't understand why he was polite to a person who was lying to him in a false way. He gradually finally understood his inner intuition... Because the combat power of the Great Zhou army left a deep impression on him, he had vaguely judged the outcome of the war.
