Mrs. Qiao sighed slightly, and said: "I am a woman, so I don't understand about your men's affairs. It's just that Wei Tongzhi has followed you for many years, so please don't misunderstand him."

Qiao Mingtang frowned and said, "Why do you speak for Wei Tianqing everywhere?"

"I...!" Mrs. Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean by that? How can I speak for him? It's just that what he has done these years has not stopped you, is it because After defeating the battle this time, you doubt him everywhere? You lead the troops yourself, don't you...!"

"Shut up!" Qiao Mingtang's face suddenly changed.

Mrs. Qiao knew that she had made a slip of the tongue. She had always been outspoken. Qiao Mingtang had always cared for her very much, so sometimes she was a little outspoken. Now she half-spoken. Knowing that this is the most taboo thing to say at this time, her tone suddenly softened: "Master, being a concubine...being a concubine doesn't mean that." With a wry smile, "It's just that there are not many people around you who you can really trust, Wei Tianqing...!"

Qiao Mingtang also sighed softly, and said: "You know, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the person who often betrays you is the person you trust the most. Chu Huan is a person who is good at buying people's hearts, otherwise it would not be possible in just a few years Time, just when the wind was blowing in the northwest, and a large group of people gathered around you. You may not know that this person has won the hearts of the people in the northwest, and his methods are really good. I also know that Wei Tianqing is loyal to me, and this person is also There is a lot of affection, but because of this, if Chu Huan uses affection to accept him, he may not be unable to succeed."

Mrs. Qiao obviously still doesn't think so.

"There are some things I haven't said to you." Qiao Mingtang said slowly: "Wei Tianqing told me in private when the capital fell, asking me to raise the flag of rebellion... This person has long been against you." The imperial court complained, if it were someone else, I would have killed him long ago...!"

Mrs. Qiao looked around, and then said softly: "My lord, the people are complaining about the harsh government of Qin. When the old emperor was alive, the people in the world were already in dire straits. Now even the capital city has been lost. The new emperor of Qin has no choice but to take the throne." See how good he is to you...!"

Qiao Mingtang frowned even tighter, and said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

"Master, now everyone in the world is against Qin, you...!" Seeing Qiao Mingtang's unsightly expression, Mrs. Qiao felt a little apprehensive, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Qiao Mingtang reprimanded: "Ma'am, it's fine for others to talk nonsense like that, why are you talking nonsense here too? The Holy Majesty was kind to me when he was still the prince. Not in my current position. Not to mention these personal grievances, since I am a subject of the Qin State, I should eat the king's salary and loyalty to the king. The Holy One has shown me the kindness of understanding, so no matter what, I will swear allegiance to the Great Qin."

Mrs. Qiao saw that Qiao Mingtang's face was extremely stern. Although Qiao Mingtang was very pampered to her on weekdays, Mrs. Qiao was also quick to speak, but at this moment, seeing that Qiao Mingtang seemed really annoyed, she didn't dare to say more, and sighed lightly: "Master, you...you are not happy, my concubine is talking nonsense, you...don't take it to heart. I will cook some porridge for you, you haven't eaten all day. ...!" With a sigh, she turned around gracefully and was about to leave, before she could walk out of the gate, a person approached her and almost bumped into her, Madam Qiao gave a coquettish cry, fortunately, that person was fast and dodged To the side, but looked very embarrassed.

Mrs. Qiao took a look, frowned and said, "Master Xiao, why are you so anxious?"

"Wei...Wei Tianqing is back." The person who came was Xiao Moyun, the head of the Ministry of War, panting heavily, "Ma'am, this officer... this officer is reckless, Madam, come down! "

Mrs. Qiao's charming eyes were wide open, but she didn't care about Xiao Moyun's offense and rudeness, and asked anxiously: "What did you say? Wei Tianqing, Wei Tongzhi is back?"

Qiao Mingtang was originally leaning on a chair with his eyes closed, but upon hearing this, he suddenly stood up, rushed over in three or five steps, and asked anxiously, "Where's the person?"

Xiao Moyun gasped and said: "Qiao Du, Wei Tianqing brought a dozen people into the city just now, the lower officials got the news and rushed to report, I'm afraid Wei Tianqing will arrive soon."

Mrs. Qiao showed joy, and said with a smile: "Master, I just said that Wei Tongzhi is loyal to you and has no second thoughts...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Mingtang coughed twice in a row. Mrs. Qiao blushed, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "Master Xiao, you talk about things first, and I will prepare tea for you."

She is the dignified Governor's wife, Xiao Moyun is just a person in charge, naturally it is not the governor's wife's turn to prepare tea, but Madam Qiao blurted out her words, fearing that Qiao Mingtang would blame her and feel guilty, she wanted to find an excuse to leave.

After Mrs. Qiao left, Qiao Mingtang said: "Let's go into the room and talk."

Xiao Moyun followed Qiao Mingtang into the room, Qiao Mingtang signaled Xiao Moyun to sit down, Xiao Moyun sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, and said in a low voice: "Qiao Du, it seems that Wei Tianqing really brought Liangzhou nearly two Thousands of soldiers and horses have been completely defeated...!" Sighed: "In the past, when we talked about military affairs with the Wei Tongzhi, the Wei Tongzhi was a little proficient in soldiers, and he spoke clearly and logically. Even the lower officials are ashamed of themselves. Many colleagues said that Wei Tongzhi was the No.1 general of Xishan, but... But I really didn't expect that in just one battle, the whole army was wiped out...!" With a wry smile, he shook his head.

Qiao Mingtang picked up the teacup that Mrs. Qiao had sent earlier, blew on the powdered tea, and asked, "Master Xiao, what do you want to say, just say it bluntly, don't beat around the bush."

Xiao Moyun was startled, then looked outside the door, then leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Qiao Du, speaking from the heart, the subordinates admire Wei Tongzhi's talents very much, not the subordinates. Praise Wei Tongzhi, look at Xishan Road, apart from the governor, the only person who can stand on his own is probably the Wei Tongzhi."

Qiao Mingtang said indifferently: "The governor remembers that you and Wei Tianqing are not on good terms, and there seems to be some misunderstanding. I have never said good things about Wei Tianqing in front of the governor before. Why is the sun coming out from the west today? But praise Wei Tianqing so much?"

Xiao Moyun was a little embarrassed, but still said: "What the officer said to Qiao Du is out of a public heart, and he doesn't ask about personal matters."

Qiao Mingtang nodded slightly, and said: "The governor naturally understands that Wei Tianqing is indeed a talent, otherwise the governor would not have handed over the Imperial Guard Army to him."

"Qiao Du, forgive me for speaking bluntly. It is precisely because of this that I am worried." Xiao Moyun sighed. Commander, the [-] imperial guards were all trained by Wei Tianqing... We lost a lot in the battle of Tongzhou. Fortunately, many imperial guards have returned, and there are still nearly [-] imperial guards in the city ...!"

Qiao Mingtang's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

"The lower official has the guts to ask, what is Qiao Du going to do with Wei Tianqing's return this time?" Xiao Moyun looked solemn.

Qiao Mingtang put down the teacup, but there was not much change between his brows, but he asked rhetorically: "Wei Tianqing is under the command of the Imperial Guard of this governor. When Tian Qing comes back, should this governor be dismissed?"

Xiao Moyun hesitated for a moment before saying cautiously: "Qiao Du, I dare to say that when Wei Tianqing comes back this time, no matter what, the military power of Yunshan cannot be handed over to him."

"Oh?" Qiao Mingtang frowned, "Why?"

"Qiao Du, Wei Tianqing was defeated in Liangzhou. After thinking about it again and again, I always feel that something is wrong." Xiao Moyun said in a low voice: "Master Pang has been to the Northwest Army camp. Hearing Chu Huan's conversation, Chu Huan After receiving the battle report from Liangzhou, he immediately inquired about Wei Tianqing's safety, knowing that Wei Tianqing escaped safely, he was relieved, from this it can be seen that the relationship between Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing is indeed very close."

"The governor naturally knows about their relationship." Qiao Mingtang said, "Don't forget that when Madam was hijacked by bandits in the Jingjiang River, Chu Huan saved Madam's life, so he was kind to the governor, Wei Tianqing and The reason why he met him was because he was grateful for his kindness in saving his wife...Wei Tianqing valued friendship, and it is reasonable for him and Chu Huan to be congenial."

Xiao Moyun sighed: "It is precisely because the Wei Tong system is too affectionate that the lower officials are worried. Qiao Du, Liangzhou has nearly [-] soldiers and horses, well-equipped, not inferior to the Northwest Army, even surpassing the Northwest Army, even if the Northwest Army The army has cavalry as its trump card, but...the entire army of [-] soldiers and horses was wiped out overnight, which...is always strange."

Qiao Mingtang twitched his brows slightly, and said, "Do you think that Wei Tianqing betrayed the governor and deliberately sent Liangzhou reinforcements to the Northwest Army's ambush circle?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense." Xiao Moyun said solemnly, "But...But this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Qiao Mingtang said: "If Wei Tianqing really betrayed Ben Du, how dare he come back to Yunshan?"

Xiao Moyun said in a low voice: "I think this is what is suspicious and the most important thing to be on guard against. Wei Tianqing came back to Yunshan this time, whether he came back to return to his command, or whether he had other intentions, so he had to guard against it."

"Oh?" Qiao Mingtang cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Moyun, "Do you think Wei Tianqing has other plans when he comes back this time?"

"I also hope that nothing else happened." Xiao Moyun said sternly, "But if Liangzhou's defeat really had another reason, then Wei Tianqing's return this time must have a conspiracy."

Qiao Mingtang said indifferently: "The governor understands what you mean. Do you think he may have come back to serve as an internal response to help Chu Huan take down my Yunshan Prefecture?" Two fingers lightly tapped on the chair handle, his eyes were sharp, and he sneered Said: "Does he really have such courage?"

Xiao Moyun said: "I just hope that Qiao Du can take precautions. But if I really come back to be an internal response, I believe that Wei Tianqing has such courage. This person is so bold. It is not impossible to take risks." Seeing that Qiao Mingtang was silent, he said in a low voice: "The two thousand imperial guards in the city were mostly trained by Wei Tianqing, and many of them are Wei Tianqing's direct subordinates. If this person really harbors evil intentions, my lord will hand over the military power to him again, I'm just worried that there will be drastic changes."

Qiao Mingtang's eyes turned cold, but Xiao Moyun clasped his hands and said: "Qiao Du, this officer is not here to sow discord because of prejudice against Wei Tianqing. Today's situation is serious, Qiao Du must be on guard."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door, and someone reported: "My lord governor, Wei Tongzhi asks to see you!"
