The best ring

"Master Pei, who are those who built the city wall? Why are they dressed in such rags?" When the team passed the city gate, Zhao Xingnian saw many people working hard at the city wall. These people were dressed in rags and walked unsteadily. As if he didn't have a full stomach, he couldn't help but ask.

"Them?" Pei Yu looked at those people and said, "They are all from the Blackwater Kingdom and are our prisoners. The Blackwater Kingdom wanted to redeem the prisoners, but the commander was afraid that they would come back after they returned, so he didn't Agree, now we will keep these people in the pass to work as coolies. Naturally, we cannot treat the prisoners too well. What the two adults see now is only a part of them. There are many prisoners doing other things. "

"What else?" Qin Wei looked at the densely packed construction team and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Of course. In the last battle with Blackwater Kingdom, we captured more than 100,000 prisoners." Pei Yu said with a proud face, although in the minds of him and everyone in Shanling Pass, they could not win the last battle. Wu Fan took the main credit for the victory, but they also participated in that war, so naturally they were also honored.

Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Although Pei Yu had mentioned this news in the memorial before, at that time, they had not witnessed it with their own eyes and only regarded it as cold figures. Moreover, they did not fully understand the news in their hearts, so naturally they did not feel it. How amazing.

But when they saw these prisoners with their own eyes, they felt how amazing and shocking it was to capture more than 100,000 troops from the Blackwater Kingdom.

"It seems that what they reported is true." Zhao Xingnian said to Qin Wei.

Although Qin Wei didn't say anything, he already believed it in his heart.

Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei were arranged in the government office. Shanlingguan was previously owned by Chen Yufei. Chen Yufei was not a person who liked simplicity. Therefore, in addition to his residence, the government office was also decorated very luxuriously.

In terms of food, drink, and accommodation, Pei Yu did his best. Although Shanling Pass was a border pass and could not be compared with the emperor, Pei Yu also took very good care of the two imperial envoys.

However, seeing that it was already the second half of the day and Wu Fan hadn't shown up yet, Qin Wei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Where did you Marshal Wu go to investigate? Why haven't you come back yet?" Qin Wei asked.

Ordinarily, when going out for reconnaissance, and it is not a reconnaissance during an active attack, Wu Fan should not run too far. Such a long time is enough for him to come back.

"Sir, don't worry, the commander will be back soon. Drink tea, drink tea." Pei Yuqi said with a smile.

"I won't drink the tea." Qin Wei said, "I want to see Marquis Wu immediately!"

"I'm going to take a look right now." Pei Yu said with an embarrassed smile.

However, Pei Yu had no idea where to find Wu Fan.

The two imperial envoys, on the other hand, were obviously impatient with the wait.

"The two adults have come from afar. Wu Fan is not able to greet them. It's rude."

Just when Pei Yu was frowning, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise, and saw Wu Fan walking in from outside.

"Sir!" Pei Yu almost cried with joy when he saw Wu Fan. The two imperial envoys had urged him many times. He could only keep prevaricating when he wanted to see Wu Fan, and the pressure on him was getting bigger and bigger. Now that he was fine, Wu Fan finally appeared.

Wu Fan nodded to Pei Yu, and when he passed by him, he patted his shoulder gently and said, "You go down first, I will accompany the two imperial envoys."

"Yes, sir." Pei Yu responded quickly.

Afterwards, Pei Yu walked out. Outside, he saw the people he had sent out to look for Wu Fan. He couldn't help but ask: "Where did you find the commander? You came back in time. If the commander doesn't When we come back, I won’t be able to hold on to those two imperial envoys.”

When the generals heard Pei Yu's words, they looked at each other awkwardly, and one of them said: "We did not find the commander, he appeared on his own."

"Appeared by yourself?" Pei Yu was slightly startled.

"A few of us searched the area, but we couldn't find the general. In desperation, we had no choice but to come back, but we never thought that we would actually see the general inside the pass. The strange thing is that the soldiers at the gate of the city None of us saw when the commander came back," the man said.

"Yes, we were all shocked when we saw the commander."

Pei Yu frowned and thought for a while, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and he said to the generals next to him: "Okay, this matter is over here. Just come back, the commander-in-chief. As for other things, don't think too much about it. "

"Yes." Everyone responded.

"Marshal Wu, Marquis Wu, you finally showed up. It's really difficult for us to see you. It's even harder than meeting His Majesty." Qin Wei's face looked a little ugly after waiting for so long to see Wu Fan.

"Your Majesty is in the palace and will not wander around. You are the Master of the Secretariat. It is easy to see her." Wu Fan smiled and said: "We generals guarding the border are different. We are always in trouble. Worrying about whether there will be an enemy attack, even if it is not a war period, we should not be careless. Patrols and inspections are common, but it makes Master Qin wait for a long time. "

Qin Wei wanted to say something else, but Zhao Xingnian took the lead and said, "Master Wu is also doing it for the sake of border security and for the sake of the country and the country of Nanping. It doesn't hurt that Master Qin and I wait a little longer."

Qin Wei looked at Zhao Xingnian and said nothing more.

"You two adults can understand. I am really grateful for the humble position." Wu Fan said: "I wonder why the two adults came all the way from the imperial capital?"

Zhao Xingnian repeated what he said to Pei Yu before to Wu Fan. Naturally, Wu Fan was not as easy to deceive as Pei Yu. He immediately understood the strangeness and sneered in his heart.

"It turns out that this is the reason why the two adults came here. It seems that there are many people in the court who doubt me. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have sent you two here." Wu Fan said, "But it's not surprising after thinking about it. I I still remember that when I went on the expedition, many people, including Mr. Cai, did not believe that I could win this battle. Now that I have not only won, but also won so beautifully, it is no wonder that some people I don’t believe it anymore. After all, my victory over Blackwater Country is equivalent to a slap in the face of those people. Naturally, they don’t want to believe this.”

Hearing Wu Fan's words, Zhao Xingnian didn't feel anything special, but Qin Wei next to him was embarrassed because he was one of the people who didn't believe Wu Fan could win at first. Moreover, after hearing that Wu Fan won, he He also subconsciously didn't believe this matter. No matter how tactfully he said it in front of Wu Ya, he could not hide his doubtful attitude about this matter.

Now hearing Wu Fan say this in person, it feels like being slapped in the face by Wu Fan himself. How can he not be embarrassed?
