Chapter 439
Zhao Xueying came out of the tent and found that Ali was standing far away from Murong He.

The two turned around when they heard the noise.

Zhao Xueying felt guilty. They stood so far away, they probably didn't hear what happened in the camp.

"Ali, let's go." Zhao Xueying said.

Zhao Xueying brought Ali to the Arms Supervision.

Sishan is indeed a good person, seeing Zhao Xueying approaching, she went up to meet her.

Zhao Xueying noticed that there were bruises on the corners of his eyes, apparently from being beaten, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "My lord, what is this?"

Sishan turned to the side and said, "It was knocked accidentally."

He didn't want to say it, so Zhao Xueying stopped asking, but she knew in her heart that these people were really bullying too much, seeing that she and Ali were not around, they bullied Sishan even more.

But why didn't Sishan resist?Is it because of someone who is holding back?

Sishan asked: "Yesterday you copied the books in Khan's tent, did you not make Khan angry?"

Thinking of last night, Zhao Xueying couldn't help blushing a little, and said, "No, don't worry, my lord."

After dinner in the morning, the army set off.

Zhao Xueying was sitting in the carriage with a few senior military inspectors.

She noticed that some people in the Military Weapons Supervision were always secretly poking at Sishan for trouble, or bad words, or physical collisions.

It's downright nasty.

And these people happen to have one thing in common, they are all sycophants of Tamu, this has to make Zhao Xueying have an idea, is it because Sishan has mastered some of Tamu's weaknesses, so Tamu always wants to make people find fault Son, want to drive Sishan out of the barracks?

Last night Wanyan Lie said that Tamu improved the trebuchet, but judging from his personality, he doesn't seem like a down-to-earth person, could there be something hidden in it?
Zhao Xueying decided to find an opportunity to prove this point.

During the noon break, Zhao Xueying took the initiative to follow Sishan to check the ordnance.

Zhao Xueying was the only one who cooperated with him in the Military Weapons Supervision.

Looking at the tall trebuchet, Zhao Xueying sighed and said, "The shaft of this trebuchet is longer than any I've seen before."

Sishan stood still, looked at the trebuchet with piercing eyes and said, "That's right, making its pole longer can save more effort."

He took a few steps forward, pointed at the joint, and said: "I have also made improvements here, replacing the wood with iron sheets, and then pouring oil, the trebuchet will be more flexible in operation and more wear-resistant. "

Zhao Xueying said from the bottom of her heart: "My lord, I am really impressed by you. How did you come up with such an improvement method?"

Si Shan heard the words, his face was stiff, and he looked at Zhao Xueying in disbelief.

Zhao Xueying pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Didn't you improve this trebuchet?"

Si Shan's expression instantly became relaxed, and he said, "It's not me."

"Which expert is that?" Zhao Xueying asked deliberately.

Sishan said lightly: "I don't know."

Looking at the back of Sishan leaving, Zhao Xueying was even more sure of one thing, that is, it was Sishan, not Tamu, who improved the catapult.

Tamu pretended to take the credit of Sishan and became the vanguard general.

So why didn't Sishan report to others?
It's really strange.

Right now, the Military Weapons Supervision is like a mess, falling apart, and if they want to change the status quo, maybe this is a breakthrough.

For some reason, Sishan will definitely not take the initiative to confess, and must start from Tamu.

If you want Tamu to confess the secret, you must stimulate him to make him think that he has encountered a threat, so that he will act irrationally and learn the truth.

After Zhao Xueying and Sishan inspected the ordnance, she said to Sishan: "My lord, I have left something very important in Khan's camp. I want to look for it."

Sishan said, "Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Zhao Xueying said and led Ali to the front of the team.

When passing by Tamu, Zhao Xueying took a special look at Tamu, with contempt in her eyes.

Ta Mu was startled, just now he saw Sishan carrying this man surnamed Zhao to inspect ordnance, did Sishan tell Mr. Zhao everything?Mr. Zhao is someone who was dug by Khan from Liang country. If she said something in front of Khan, wouldn't his future be ruined?

Thinking of this, Ta Mu hurriedly stood up, came out from the team, blocked Zhao Xueying's way, and asked, "Young Master Zhao, where are you going?"

Zhao Xueying gave him a disgusted look, and said, "Get out of the way, I'm going to do something that doesn't involve you."

From Zhao Xueying's disgusted expression, Tamu was even more sure that she already knew about him and Sishan.

This Si Shan is really abominable, he was only threatened yesterday, but he did not expect to break his promise so much today.

Seeing Zhao Xueying walking around him, Tamu said eagerly behind her: "Did Sishan tell you that the trebuchet was improved by him?"

The corners of Zhao Xueying's mouth turned upwards, a guilty conscience really couldn't stand the stimulation, so she stopped calling herself so soon.

When she turned around, she had already restrained her expression, her face was indifferent, and she looked at Tamu coldly.

Tamu smiled wryly, and said, "Young Master Zhao, you just came to the barracks not long ago, and you don't know much about many things. Don't be fooled by Sishan's honest appearance. I was an apprentice under Sishan before. I am very bad, and suppressed me everywhere. When he learned that I improved the trebuchet, he wanted to claim my credit, so I went to Khan directly with the blueprint. After being reused by Khan, Sishan hated me even more , always slandering me behind my back."

"You guys say your father is right and your wife says your wife is right, who should I trust?" Zhao Xueying said softly.

"Of course it is me."

Seeing Zhao Xueying's suspicious expression, Ta Mu looked around and saw that no one was watching, so he quickly took out an ingot of silver from his cuff and forced it into Zhao Xueying's hand.

Ali originally wanted to stop it, but got Zhao Xueying's order in advance not to let her intervene, so he didn't take any action.

Zhao Xueying thought to herself: This Ta Mu is really not a good person.

"What do you mean by that?"

Tamu said: "Please accept Mr. Zhao's little heart. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao. I am not doing this to bribe you, but just to be friends with you. I know you have doubts and are eager to know the truth. In this way, the team We are about to leave soon, at night, at night, Sishan and I will confront you in front of you, it is natural to distinguish right from wrong, do you think this is good?"

Zhao Xueying pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then fine."

She said and took Ali back to the military prison.

Then came the march, all the way without words.

At dusk, the army was stationed outside a small town.

Wan Yanlie did not let the soldiers enter the city to disturb the people, but ordered the army to station outside the city, and only let the purchasing soldiers enter the city to buy some things necessary for the march.

But the order prohibits them from doing any disturbing behavior, otherwise they will be killed.

White tents were set up, piles of bright bonfires were lit, and the air was filled with the smell of rice and soil.

Zhao Xueying and Ali sat next to Sishan and ate around the campfire.

Waiting and waiting, but no one was sent by Tamu, Zhao Xueying wondered if her method hadn't worked.
