Overnight, Tiansheng's granary caught fire and Beiming's grain and grass were stolen.
Two seemingly unrelated things happened together, which always made people particularly concerned.
After Mu Qianhua heard the news, the corners of his mouth slightly raised under his mask, Xiyan did not make any other expression.
Xiyan could not see Mu Qianhua's expression, but her intuition told her that the loss of Beiming's grain and grass had something to do with the person in front of her.
Although she wanted to know the truth, she had no intention of verifying it.
"Sir, we are ready and can set off at any time."
Wang Yi was really happy to learn that he was leaving today.
He gathered everyone early in the morning and lined up to wait.
"Let's go."
Mu Qianhua stood up from the chair and said.
After five days, she had a rough understanding of the people Wang Yi selected.
Most of them were orphans left behind in the war five years ago, and a small number of them were orphans.
He had a family, and this time he was seriously injured.
Leng Ling secretly asked people to move away the people he originally wanted to select.
What was left was these injured people, but they have now recovered and are no exception.
"yes."
"Sir, how should we deal with the news from Xiao Wu?"
Mu Qianhua stood in front of a hundred soldiers.
Chu Qing remembered the news from Xiao Wu just now and asked in a low voice.
"I have interfered enough in this matter.
Xu Lin will handle the next matter.
Wouldn't it be boring if he was completely used as a pawn on the chessboard."
Mu Qianhua whispered back.
She has interfered in enough things.
If If she continues to interfere, Xu Lin will inevitably think that she intervened because she doubted his ability.
It would be bad if there was such a misunderstanding.
Chu Qing nodded slightly and didn't say what it was.
"I've seen the young master."
Wang Yi stood in front and led everyone to say in unison.
Although they had been to the villa for five days, following the instructions of the person in front of them, the injured recovered from their injuries, and the uninjured helped the people repair the damaged houses, but they never I saw it with my own eyes, but I also heard a lot of rumors during the five days.
"If you go this time, you will escape death.
If any of you are afraid of death, you can leave now.
I will give you a hundred taels of silver to let him go home."
Her training time this time was not long, but the intensity was very high.
I got to meet these 100 people today.
I have to say that Wang Yi has a good vision.
These 100 people are all good prospects.
"We are willing to follow the master."
A hundred people said in unison.
Although the temptation of one hundred taels was great, they were lucky to meet a kind-hearted master.
In the past few days, the people of Licheng all praised them and expressed their gratitude to them.
For many people, this is enough.
"Let's go."
Seeing that no one was leaving, Mu Qianhua felt slightly satisfied and immediately ordered.
Through the woods, Mu Qianhua led everyone and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Leng Ling sent people to follow him secretly, but they lost him completely.
No one knew the whereabouts of Mu Qianhua.
After walking for a day, until dark, everyone finally Stopped in a dense jungle.
"Wang Yi, you lead everyone to rest in the cave on the right front.
Get up at five o'clock tomorrow, and I will train them personally."
Mu Qianhua ordered Wang Yi.
Many of them were extremely tired.
Due to Chu Qing and Lu Rui and Lu Rui, both women, did not back down yet and endured it forcefully.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Yi immediately accepted the order.
At the end of the day, he was exhausted, and the clothes on his body had many cuts.
But the person in front of him, a white gown with no stains at all, made him even more impressed.
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person in front of him was a mystery.
In Licheng, the people sent by Leng Ling searched for a whole day, but they could not find the whereabouts of Mu Qianhua and others.
Mu Qianhua led a hundred people, and it was impossible to disappear into thin air.
Everything he walked through would inevitably leave traces, but now it is even more...
There seems to be no trace.
"General, why are you so concerned about the whereabouts of Mr.
Silver Face?"
Leng Ling's concern caught Zhou Yi's attention.
Although he could not guess the identity of the man, Leng Ling's concern for that man surprised him.
"It's just a private matter.
General Zhou doesn't need to worry about it.
According to the news that came in the afternoon, the grain and grass from the Beiming Army were stolen.
It's a good time to attack.
What does General Zhou think?"
Leng Ling immediately changed the subject.
"Indeed, the Marquis had the foresight to transfer the grain and grass secretly, so that Bei Minglian's conspiracy could not succeed.
If there is a chance, I will really want to see the Marquis."
Bei Minglian sent people to burn the grain and grass, but Shui Heng had already stopped.
With precautions, only the empty granary was burned.
After hearing this plan, Zhou Yi was very impressed and even suspected that the theft of Beiminglian's army grain had something to do with Shui Heng.
Time passed little by little, and Beiming Lian had no clue about the theft of Beiming's military rations.
He thought about countless possibilities, but was still unable to determine who did it.
However, he was secretly trying to find a way to steal the blame to Beiming.
Ming Yu's body, but Bei Mingyu went to eradicate the bandits.
The matter was more complicated than he imagined.
He couldn't help but think of the silver-faced young master he defeated this time.
But since he disappeared in Licheng a few days ago, he has never been seen again.
The whereabouts of this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
In the camp, Shui Heng had no idea that all the rice he bought from Hanhai Villa was old rice.
Except for the first few generations of good rice, the rice that was shipped later was all old rice with black flowers and yellow flowers.
I know that after several years of storage, it is impossible for people to eat it.
After a period of recuperation, although Xu Lin has been in the military camp, his health has obviously improved a lot.
Half a month has passed, and he can occasionally stand up with support.

His daily meals are taken care of by Xiaozhu himself, and the ingredients are all Xiao Wu sent someone to deliver it.
Xu Lin was grateful in his heart.
There was no shortage of nutritious food in the ingredients.
"I've seen you, sir."
Shui Heng walked in with a frown on his face and saw Xu Lin standing up on crutches.
Although he was surprised, what concerned him was the predicament in front of him.
Ever since Xu Lin proposed to let him buy grain from the world's granary, Later, in his transaction with Hanhai Villa, Xu Lin Forcibly cutting the amount of food and grass in half has touched his bottom line.
From that day on, although Xu Lin was in the army, he never saw Xu Lin.
He didn't expect that not listening to Xu Lin's words would lead to this.
Serious consequences, these old rice cannot be eaten by the soldiers at all.
"It turns out to be Mr.
Marquis, please sit down."
Xu Lin did not look at Xu Lin, but practiced walking in the big tent with small steps.
Because his legs were covered with plaster, every step was very difficult, but in his heart he felt sorry for Mu Qian.
I admire Hua's medical skills very much.
I didn't expect that he would have a chance to I admire him very much, but he never thought that he would stand up again one day.
For him, he has made money from the five-year deal.
"Sir, I must have heard about the military rations.
Please advise me, what should I do now?"
Shui Heng did not sit down, but bowed his hands and asked.
He had already found a few trustworthy people in the army these days.
Who was willing to follow him, but when this happened, they were all speechless.
The only person he could think of at this moment was Xu Lin, and Shui Heng felt very ashamed.
"Master Marquis, why do you think I asked you to buy food from Tianxia Granary in the first place?"
Xu Lin stopped and sat in the wheelchair.
Xiaozhu handed over a towel.
Xu Lin took it and wiped his sweat, and then asked calmly. .
"I don't know, sir, please give me some advice."
One of the reasons why Shui Heng refused this matter was that Xu Lin knew the owner of Tianxia Granary, and he was a little afraid, fearing that Xu Lin would use this matter to make more demands.
Now Thinking about it, Xu Lin has never made any request to him, and he has not yet asked for an official position, let alone money.
"Integrity, compared to Hanhai Villa, Tianxia Granary has a higher status in the hearts of the people, and it has never bullied the market.
Although I have a relationship with the owner of Tianxia Granary, in the final analysis, I have no friendship.
I am just a friend of this person.
In his eyes, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, they are all the same.
Treat everyone equally, so I appreciate it very much, so I made this proposal, but if he buys such a large amount, even though he has the inventory, he may not agree."
Xu Lin looked at Shui Heng and said, if Shui Heng hadn't stopped him from buying grain and grass from Hanhai Villa this time. , I am afraid that after this incident, Shui Heng will involve the entire Beijing Hou Mansion.
But if he didn't find it troublesome, he wouldn't have helped Shui Heng.
Although Shui Heng was smart, his vision was too short-sighted.
"In your opinion, sir, what should I do?"
If he buys enough food and grass again, he will inevitably use up all the belongings of the Beijing Hou Mansion.
This is not what he wants, but now he has no choice.
"I sent someone to talk to the owner of Tianxia Granary.
Although we only met once, the owner of Tianxia Granary is a person who values human life.
Even if he doesn't want to, he will not ignore it.
As for the amount of grain and grass, it only needs half of the original amount. ."

Xu Lin said while gesturing for Xiaozhu to exit.
Upon seeing this, Shui Heng immediately ordered the guards around him to retreat as well.
"Sir, please clarify."
Shui Heng asked sincerely.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already reducing the number of people in the army.
Why doesn't the Marquis follow suit?
The desolation of the northern border in recent years is inseparable from conscription.
If the Marquis rectifies military affairs and reduces the number of people in the army by half, it will be just in time for food planting.
Next year At this moment, the Northern Territory will definitely become richer.
Anyone who leaves the army, the Marquis can send someone to deal with them one by one.
I also have some opinions on growing food, what do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Xu Lin immediately suggested.
He originally thought Mu Qianhua's proposal was whimsical, but after Mu Qianhua disappeared, he got the news.
Unexpectedly, This matter turned out to be true.
The four countries were preparing for war, and He Lianshang was probably the only one who could do this.
According to Wuyin's news, this matter caused turmoil in the government and the public.
Among the people who supported Helianshang, Zhang Zaifu was the leader, and only half of the ministers.
According to the news, Xu Lin understood that Helianshang had planned this matter long ago and was ready.
Everything, wait for the opportunity.
Now that I think about it, those two are really a match made in heaven.
"Is the Marquis not agreeing because his military power is about to be halved or because he has other concerns?"
Xu Lin said after seeing Shui Heng silent for a long time.
"I am not good at military affairs.
I have dismissed two generals this time, and the people in the army are unstable.
According to Sir's concerns, reducing the number by half can certainly cope with the current situation, but in the subsequent war, Tiansheng will have no advantage at all.
"What happened in the past few days has made Shui Heng realize the shortcomings of his abilities.
Now, You can only trust Xu Lin.
Even if he does not agree to reduce the number of people, the court will send others to deal with the matter.
The situation in the north is unstable, and he can ascend to the position of Beijing Waiting.
Among them, there are many reasons for the prince.
If he can respond to this This can be regarded as living up to Zhang Zaifu's recommendation and the prince's trust.
"It is important to have more people in a war, but each time the number of people on the battlefield can range from a few thousand to 20,000 to 30,000.
If all 200,000 troops are placed on the battlefield, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos and mourning will be everywhere.
A general who is good at leading will , the number of one hundred thousand is enough to march straight into the North Ming Dynasty, the number of soldiers is not the key, but the quality, the Marquis may as well take this opportunity to strengthen the training of troops."
Xu Lin said bluntly, such a battle is not unprecedented, but it was hundreds of years ago.
Something happened.
"I would like to ask you to give me more advice.
I'm just asking if you can go with me in person regarding the world's granary."
Shui Heng suggested that this time he would definitely not make the same mistakes as before.
Every bag of grain would be carefully inspected. .
"Respect the wishes of the Marquis."
Xu Lin agreed.
In fact, the reason why he agreed was to see if he could hide the idea of inquiring about the whereabouts of Dao Mu Qianhua.
Since Mu Qianhua disappeared with a hundred people, there has been no news about him. .
While curious, I also felt a little worried.

Above Fengcheng, Helian Shang looked at the letter in his hand and showed a rare smile.
After hearing about Mu Qianhua's disappearance, he finally received a handwritten letter from Mu Qianhua.
He couldn't help but feel a little curious about Mu Qianhua's training. , but now that Chu Nantian has not started the war, he just took the opportunity to reorganize military affairs and cannot leave.
"Master, my subordinates are very curious about the training of the mistress.
Master, can you ask An Yi to send you some news?"
After the grain and grass in the Beiming Lotus Army were lost, An Yu finally learned about An Yi's whereabouts.
He did not expect that Mu Qianhua would explain it.
An Yi did such a thing, but from this point of view, he underestimated An Yi's ability.
"Qianqian asked me to wait for the results in one month.
We might as well take a look at the results first."
Mu Qianhua once mentioned the training method to him, but he never proposed a detailed method.
Mu Qianhua wrote in his mind that one should fight against a hundred. , he is looking forward to it very much.
From this point of view, his speed cannot be too slow.
At least things in the south cannot be slower than those in the north.
"Brother Emperor."
He Lianming finished handling the affairs and saw Helian Shang looking north, so he stepped forward and said.
"Have the military affairs been dealt with?"
Helian Shang asked directly.
"Yes, although there is some turmoil in the army, there is no uneasiness."
After getting along with him, He Lianming admired He Lianshang's methods and methods of doing things and was willing to follow him sincerely.
"Take this book and read it.
Remember to read it more when you have nothing to do."
Helian Shang took out a book from the brocade box and handed it to Helian Mingdao.
There was no signature on the book.
Turning the pages, He Lianming immediately confirmed the handwriting on the book.
Following Helian Shang these days, he was no stranger to Mu Qian's paintings of himself.
He casually read two sentences, and the words written in them were He Lianming was very surprised that it turned out to be the way to govern the country.
He spent some time with Helianshang, but he couldn't guess Helianshang's behavior and thoughts at all.
Seeing that Helianshang didn't say anything more, he took the book in his hand and left the room
