Chapter 431 Maybe Someone Framed Her

In the following days, everything went according to Luo Ziyan's plan.

While waiting for the army from Yunnan and Guizhou, they stopped opening the city gates to fight, and only defended instead of attacking. They only wanted to keep the city gates from falling and the safety of the soldiers.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the trees are bare, and the leaves are falling all over the suburbs.

Occasionally, there will be a burst of small snowflakes with raindrops, bringing coldness and confusion to this silent land.

In the tent, there was a beeping, beeping, beeping sound from a charcoal fire.

The flickering flames also reflected Mo Yun's resolute side face.

He was by the fire, dazed.

During the two months in the camp, although he had no worries about food and clothing, the environment was much harsher, and Mo Yun's face was much darker than before.

The curtain was lifted, and a gust of cold wind came in.

Mo Yun raised his head and saw Ruoxian.

"My lord, my subordinates have received the news from the capital."

"How about it?"

"I heard that it seems to be intentional. It is said that Luo Ziyan deliberately stopped going out of the city to fight."

"Are you waiting for Diangui's army?" Mo Yun squinted his eyes, red and yellow flames danced in his phoenix pupils.

"It should be like this. I heard that the emperor has sent out the secret letter for some time."

Mo Yun nodded, not surprised, "It is said that this king is in power, and now the only thing we can rely on is Yuegan's army."

Ruoxian frowned, "My lord, isn't this really unfavorable, the weather is getting colder and colder, we live in the suburbs, if the soldiers get sick, it's not good."

"So what do you want?"

"The subordinates are thinking that General Yuegan hasn't returned to the capital for many years. I'm afraid that he is no longer so loyal to the emperor. Why don't we put—"

If he didn't finish his first words, he stopped.

Mo Yun shook his head slightly, "It won't work."

"Why?"

"Concubine Yuegui has been in the palace for so many years, and she has been loved so much. The emperor has never treated the Yue family badly. The Yue family has been in Diangui for many years, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If you want to do something, you have already done it. Why wait until today."

"Then, my lord, we can't just sit and wait for death."

"Well, we have to seize the opportunity."

Mo Yun thought for a while, "Well, first, you prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones for this king."

"Yes!"

The cold winter wind always blows bitterly.

Often a gust of wind comes over, and even the streets will be blown clean.

Meng Qianyan and Dong'er were walking on the street, Dong'er couldn't help sighing, "Young madam, look, our street is cleaner than our consort's mansion."

Meng Qianyan smiled, "No, it's quite enjoyable to watch, but there are fewer people."

"Well, the war has been going on for two months, and the common people are terrified. Who dares to come out and do business like that. I didn't see that even the workers in our Luo family's garment workshop have stopped. I don't know when the battle will start. It's a head wow."

Dong'er babbled.

Meng Qianyan suddenly sniffed.

"I don't know who's cooking, it smells like smoke."

While she was muttering, suddenly, two men dressed as soldiers ran over quickly from the other side of the street, both of them looked terrified.

"what happened?"

Meng Qianyan subconsciously stopped them.

These two people look at me and I look at you, "Princess, is it Her Royal Highness?!"

"It's me, what's the matter? You're in such a panic, why are you running?"

"Princess, we are going to find the Commander-in-Chief! It's not good! Something happened! The food and grass that our military camp in the capital needs to use has been burned!"

"Burn, burn—"

Meng Qianyan was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the sky.

I saw a cloud of smoke billowing from the west, and the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, blowing towards this side along the direction of the wind.

"Oh my God, Young Madam!" Dong'er exclaimed.

Meng Qianyan handed the things in his hand to Dong'er, "Dong'er, you go back to the son-in-law's mansion first, and the two of you, hurry up and report to Ziyan!"

Dong'er and the two soldiers turned around and ran away.

Meng Qianyan strode towards the place where the smoke billowed.

That is the direction of the barracks.

All the 5 horses transferred from the south were stationed there.

The food and grass were actually burned, what will happen to the remaining [-] soldiers!
She quickened her pace, getting closer and closer, and the smoke was getting lower and lower. She had to bend over and cover her mouth and nose to walk forward.

In front, several generals were directing the soldiers to put out the fire. They were Wu Sui, Chen Jingshi and others.

"How is it?" Meng Qianyan came to the front and asked.

Chen Jingshi saw her and replied, "The grain and grass have been burned, and a lot of oil was poured on it. It's too difficult to put out the fire."

"How could this be? Isn't there anyone who takes good care of the food and grass?" Meng Qianyan looked at the thick smoke billowing in front of him, feeling anxious.

At this time, Liu Qianxian snorted, "Is it because the Ministry of War is not optimistic? This time, these tens of thousands of soldiers, what to eat and drink! I really don't know what the people in the Ministry of War do for food!"

"You, we don't want such a thing to happen. These days are cloudy and rainy, who knows that such a thing will happen. Our military department is responsible for everything now, so we can't be too busy. It's not as good as the people in the military government!" Chen Jingshi replied angrily. .

"Okay, stop arguing, we'll discuss after the fire is extinguished."

When Luo Ziyan's voice came, Chen Jingshi and Liu Qianxian closed their mouths at the same time.

Meng Qianyan turned his face sideways and saw Luo Ziyan.

"Ziyan, you're here."

"Well, are you going to put out the fire?"

"Well, it should be gone soon."

I thought it should be very fast, but it took more than half an hour to put out the fire.

At this time, most of the capital city was already covered in thick smog, and there were choked and coughing people everywhere.

Wu Sui went to patrol and came back, "Commander, the fire has been extinguished."

"Destroyed? How much food and grass are left now?" Luo Ziyan asked seriously.

Hearing this, Wu Sui sighed deeply, "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, we are all working hard to rescue, but the remaining food and grass are only one or two."

"So few!" Meng Qianyan was stunned.

Luo Ziyan frowned deeply, "Did you find out? Why did it catch fire?"

"Someone should have deliberately set the fire on fire. When fighting the fire, we found oil."

"Who was that setting the fire?"

"This, this, the end will not be caught."

After Wu Sui's words fell, Liu Qianxian couldn't bear it anymore, and said at the top of his voice, "This time all the food and grass are under the control of the Ministry of War. Now that something happened, the person who set the fire is naturally from the Ministry of War."

"Nonsense, what evidence do you have to say that the people in the Ministry of War did it?!" Chen Jingshi was angry, "Master Commander, you should trust the Ministry of War, the people in the Ministry of War will not do this."

Luo Ziyan was thinking.

That's right, both Chen Jingshi and Xu Chenyuan are in the Ministry of War, which is equivalent to his own territory. How could it be someone from the Ministry of War who did it?
"Maybe someone set him up." A soldier beside Chen Jingshi said.

"Framed, don't talk nonsense, the enemy is now, even if our military government and the Ministry of War are at odds, we will not do such a thing!"
