Horse on the World

Chapter 389 Doubt
The Department of Statistics and Investigation, the Albizia juliensis trees in the courtyard are in flowering period, and the pink Albizia juliensis blooms all over the branches. Sometimes there is a breeze, and the petals will fall with the wind, fluttering and fragrant.

Zhong Jing walked through the woods and came to the wing room where Qingfeng worked, pushed open the slightly covered door, and walked in lightly.

Seeing that Qingfeng frowned slightly, obviously encountering an extremely difficult matter, Zhong Jing held her body and stood silently on one side, waiting for Qingfeng.

After a while, the oil lamp in the room cracked, and a lamp flower exploded. Qingfeng's body shook slightly, and he woke up from his contemplation. He raised his eyes and saw Zhong Jing, "Ah Jing, when did you come?"

Zhong Jing said with a smile: "I've been here for a while, and I see that the young lady is thinking about something, so I dare not disturb her!"

Qingfeng nodded, "It's true that something difficult happened, hey, didn't I let you rest today, why are you back?"

Zhong Jing said: "Hu Zi came home early today, and told me that the commander-in-chief was planning to go to Taoyuan Xiaozhu, but after hearing what Lu Yiming said, he stopped going and turned around to go to Princess Qingcheng's place."

Qingfeng hummed, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

Zhong Jing said: "Miss, Mrs. Lu has never meddled with the marshal's family affairs. Now that he is like this, does he also lean towards Princess Qingcheng?" Zhong Jing was a little anxious.

Qingfeng shook his head, "Mr. Shang has always held a prejudice against me, and there is no doubt that he is biased towards Qingcheng. Besides, Princess Qingcheng is of noble birth after all, which is comparable to us sisters?" Qingfeng smiled self-consciously, "As for Mr. Lu, he has always been cautious and treats me well. He has never deliberately made me feel sorry for me, and with his personality, he can't be biased towards either side. Well, I understand. Where is the moon too diligent, a little cold for Princess Qingcheng, for Lu Yiming who is in the middle, of course he has to speak to the commander-in-chief, it doesn't matter, Master Lu, I know his character very well."

Zhong Jingxin said with injustice: "What's the use of a noble birth? Can it be eaten? Can it contribute to the great cause of the commander? On the contrary, Miss, for the great cause of the commander, Mr. Shang clearly sees it." , but turn a blind eye to it, but deliberately make it difficult, it is really infuriating."

Qingfeng slowly shook his head, "Ah Jing, it's not that Mr. Shang didn't see it, and it's not that he didn't understand it, but he...forget it, I told you these things, and you won't understand it for a while. By the way, I trust you Did Ji Yue take the tonic that Huan Qiu brought to Ji Yue?"

Zhong Jing's complexion changed slightly, and after waiting for a while, she said: "Miss, you know, Huan Qiu is a medical idiot, he is very good at talking about medical skills, but he is a bit stupid in doing things, you give something to Miss Jiyue, And Miss Jiyue couldn't let Miss Jiyue know, after Huan Tiao brought the things in, Miss Jiyue asked him, but he was evasive, and Miss Jiyue immediately saw the problem, and after interrogation, how could Huan Qiu deal with Miss Jiyue Such an ice-snow-smart person, even if his secrets are revealed."

"Didn't Jiyue eat?" Qingfeng changed color.

Zhong Jing lowered her head: "Huan Qiu came back and said that Miss Jiyue not only didn't eat it, but also wanted Huan Qiu to bring these things back, but Huan Qiu refused, so Miss Jiyue dumped all these supplements in front of Huan Qiu !"

Qingfeng's face turned pale first, then turned red, and then turned white again, so many times, Zhong Jing was worried, afraid that Qingfeng's anger would attack her heart.

Sighing faintly, "It's fine if you don't eat!" Qingfeng turned his body slightly, but the careful Zhong Jing saw that Qingfeng seemed to be wiping away tears.

"Miss Jiyue is too ignorant!" Zhong Jing said in a low voice, "Miss sacrificed her image in the eyes of the commander for her sake, but she didn't appreciate it at all."

Qingfeng turned around and said with a forced smile: "Isn't this exactly what I want? Ah Jing, let's not talk about this, let's talk about you, how does Huzi treat you?"

Zhong Jing blushed all of a sudden, and said: "Does that idiot dare to treat me badly? He treats me like a Bodhisattva all day long, taking care of me carefully and taking care of me, which made me really uncomfortable for a while."

"That's good!" Qingfeng was very envious, "Ah Jing, you are really lucky to be married to Tang Hu. With Tang Hu's temperament, he will never look back when he is sure of things. He will last forever. So kind to you."

"I would also like to thank Miss and Marshal for their fulfillment!" Zhong Jing's face was filled with a happy smile.

Qingfeng smiled slightly. He now only has Jiyue as his relative, and Jiyue looks like him. Before he knew it, he transferred his love for his younger sister to a part of Dang Zhong Jing, and regarded her as a substitute for his younger sister. .Seeing Zhong Jing happy, she was also happy.

"By the way, miss, when I came in just now, you seemed to have some difficult questions to solve?" Zhong Jing asked, "Why don't you tell me and let me help you with the details?"

Qingfeng reached out to pick up a pile of copywriting from the case, and handed it to Zhong Jing, "Am I worrying about Qu Yongjie in Xingzhou?"

"Qu Yongjie?" Zhong Jing asked strangely: "What does he have to give you a headache, in a state, he has been beaten to a half-mutilation these years, it is already a miracle that he can survive between the two major forces! "

"There are no miracles in this world, and everything has a cause and effect!" Qingfeng said decisively, "As you said, it is very strange that Qu Yongjie thrived in Xingzhou, which was half disabled. things."

After roughly browsing the documents in his hand, Zhong Jing also saw the problem: "Qu Yongjie has expanded his troops in Xingzhou again. How can Xingzhou's current appearance support him to raise [-] soldiers, and he is also equipped with excellent equipment?" ? Well-trained?"

"You can see it too?" Qingfeng said: "This is where my brain is troubled. Where did his army come from? Where did his equipment come from? He is in Xingzhou, and he is not like Ding under the general's rule." State, implemented the New Deal, mobilized the potential of Dingzhou to the greatest extent, won Fuzhou, and had the support of the salt industry. Even so, we still relied on a lot of borrowing to survive the war against barbarians. Qu Yongjie didn’t God, where did you get so much money?"

"What did the Xingzhou branch say?" Zhong Jing asked in a low voice.

"The person in charge there tried his best, but he didn't understand this problem!" Qingfeng said.

Zhong Jing was also a little dazed for a while, Qingfeng didn't understand the problem, so she naturally had nothing to do.

"That's not the case. There are still some things that I don't think are strange until now!" Qingfeng said: "Yuan Fang has always been in charge of Fang Si, and he doesn't have a particularly good friendship with Qu Yongjie. As soon as his injury recovered, he couldn't wait to go to Xingzhou to vote for Qu Yongjie. You know, in terms of his status in the imperial court, he was superior to Qu Yongjie, but now he is willing to work for him. You know, With Yuan Fang, the staff commanders all over the country turned to Qu Yongjie almost overnight, and now the staff commander Ding Yu in Luoyang is almost empty-handed. Those who can command are able to control the place. There are only a handful of them.”

"There is indeed something suspicious!" Zhong Jing said.

"Also, Qu Yongjie's current chief counselor is called Mr. Long in the house, and he is extremely trusted by Qu Yongjie. No matter what, Qu Yongjie will ask him for advice, but we have tried our best, but we can't find out where this Mr. Long came from. It was as if this person had fallen from the world suddenly, and there was nothing before. Moreover, this person was very resourceful. With his help, Qu Yongjie not only reversed the previous decline in the past half a year, but his situation became better day by day. A person like this should not borrow nameless people in Dachu."

Zhong Jing thought for a moment, "That's not entirely true, miss, maybe this person used to hide in the mountains or in the market, and didn't want to show his face. There should be many talented people like this, and Dachu is so big. Mr. Lu is just like Mr. Lu, how many people in the world knew about them before following the commander-in-chief, but now as long as the two of them are mentioned, who is not like thunder?"

Qingfeng smiled and said: "Even so, the roots of Mr. Shang and Mr. Lu are clear and clear at a glance, and anyone who is interested can know it at a glance, but this Mr. Long is too mysterious. I don't understand such an important person. Clearly, I really don’t know how to eat, and I can’t sleep well.”

"Miss, don't be too hard on yourself. You might as well tell the commander in chief about these things. Maybe the commander can figure it out?" Zhong Jing said.

Qingfeng shook his head, "The general has a lot of things to deal with every day, and I'm dedicated to this, and I'm in charge of this. I've been thinking hard to no avail. How can the general have time to spend on this, Zhong Jing, You have to understand this point. The general entrusted you with a matter, and what he wants is the result, not the process. If you go to him when everything is difficult, then what is the use of the general asking you to do this? It’s better to wait for me to find out the clues, and then talk to the general, you might as well put some thought into this, this matter is related to the general’s overall layout in the future, so it can’t be ignored!”

Zhong Jing said solemnly: "Thank you for your reminder, Miss, I understand."

"Okay, Zhong Jing, since you're here, don't rush back and have dinner with me. After talking to you for a while, I feel a little hungry!" Qingfeng said.

Zhong Jing was startled, "Miss, what time is it? Why haven't you had dinner yet? What's the matter with these cooks? I just let the lady be hungry until now after a day's rest?"

"Don't blame them, I can't eat by myself, let's go, Zhong Jing, accompany me to have a few drinks." Qingfeng pulled Zhong Jing up and walked out.In the courtyard, the wind was a little stronger, and the Albizia julibrissin flowers fluttered down and landed on the shoulders of the two people's hair. Looking at Qingfeng's side face, Zhong Jing couldn't help but wondered that the young lady was too pitiful.

This night, although he didn't drink a few glasses of wine, Qingfeng was drunk. Zhong Jing knew that Miss Jiyue made Miss too sad today, and Miss was using wine to drown her sorrows.Waiting for Qingfeng to sleep, he patrolled the courtyard again, and then turned back home, but he was thinking along the way, after returning, he wanted to blow the pillow with Huzi, so that he would mention it in front of the commander-in-chief intentionally or unintentionally. Miss, if you can let the commander-in-chief visit and accompany you more, you will be much happier.
