Gu Xingyan picked up the kettle beside him, filled the cup in front of Li Shuangwan, and poured himself a cup.

Sneered: "Oh, the Prince Huai's mansion was wiped out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious, and ordered the three major government offices to jointly investigate the case. Look, on the surface, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Northern Jin seems to take this case very seriously."

Li Shuangwan also figured it out and said, "In fact, with so many people, the footprints coming and going alone can destroy the scene completely."

Gu Xingyan frowned and smiled: "So, what else is there to check!"

"Now we finally have a clue, and the three adults have been summoned to the palace. When they come out of the palace, Yanyan, you can see that everything is gone. It's going to be difficult to solve this case!"

Li Shuangwan closed his eyes deeply: "I hope Ling Yan won't let us down."

The two sat in the yard for a long time.

Seeing that Li Shuangwan didn't speak for a long time, Gu Xingyan tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, my father and brother are soldiers after all. If they knew that the Ziyang County incident was planned by the two of us, I would be afraid..."

Gu Xingyan chuckled and rubbed the girl's head with his hand: "I'll talk to my uncle when he comes back."

Li Shuangwan quickly denied: "Absolutely not, Xingyan, you have to know that my father is first of all a Northern Jin people, a general guarding the northwest. And you, are from Daliang."

"I'll go and talk to you about this. Xingyan, you should go back to the inn first."

Gu Xingyan didn't move: "I'll leave after we finish talking about this."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Li Shuangwan didn't insist anymore. She wanted to think carefully about how to tell her father about this matter.

The Li family's ancestors accompanied the Northern Jin ancestors in building the country. For hundreds of years, one generation took over and guarded the northwest border.

Loyalty to Northern Jin has long been engraved in his bones.

Even though he is from the royal family of the Ling family, Ling Heng has done too many things that have let the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion down.

At most, my father and brother would be stripped of their military power and no longer work for the royal family.

But she would never be allowed to do such a thing.

In fact, she herself is not like this.

If Ling Heng had not wiped out the entire General's Mansion in her previous life, she would have thought that it was natural to protect the Northern Jin Dynasty and swear allegiance to the royal family until death.

When my grandfather was alive, he often said that thunder, lightning, rain and dew were all grace from the emperor.

She thought so when she was a child.

However, after a trip to the underworld, she knew that this was not the case.

How can an incompetent and immoral person rule the world and exploit the people!

Why should ordinary people live in such hardship?

More than two hundred years ago, didn't the Ling family also seize this territory from the emperor of the previous dynasty?

This country should be ruled by benevolent and capable people.

In the evening, Li Huaiying and his son Li Yuanqiao returned.

Sure enough, Ling Heng gave an order, asking them to take the 5,000 troops and immediately set off to the northwest.

He ordered them to march quickly and recapture Ziyang County within a month.

In the study, Zhu Anhe was helping Li Huaiying put on his armor.

My brother came too.

While getting dressed, Li Huaiying warned his wife, "Winter is coming soon. You and Yanyan should not go there this time. Every year you get frostbite on your ears and hands. Yuan Qiao and I will end the war as soon as possible."

Zhu Anhe's eyes were red. "How long have we been quiet? Now we have to go to the battlefield again. How can the people of Northern Qi be so brave?"

Li Huaiying took a deep breath and gently shook his wife's hand: "Not necessarily from Northern Qi."

He read the military newspaper.

The people of Northern Qi would not be so familiar with Ziyang County, let alone taking it in just two days.

If Northern Qi was really so powerful, it would be impossible for it to sign an armistice agreement.

It is even more impossible that half a month ago, someone would send compensation, cattle, sheep and thousands of horses.

After so many years in the northwest, Li Huaiying was very familiar with the national strength of Northern Qi.

These things have emptied most of the Northern Qi treasury.

It will take them ten or eight years to recover.

Li Shuangwan entered the study room at this time: "Daddy."

Li Huaiying glanced at his daughter and said, "Yanyan, stay with your mother in Shengjing. You should also help your mother with your brother's marriage to the Zhong family and prepare more betrothal gifts. You can't let such a good girl down."

Li Shuangwan hummed.

Li Yuanqiao saw that his sister was in a low mood and thought she was reluctant to let them leave.

He smiled and rubbed Li Shuangwan's head: "Sister, my brother has already shot the pair of wild geese early this morning and placed them in the backyard. The betrothal gift will be paid tomorrow and should be sent to the Zhong Mansion tomorrow. Now I'll trouble you to help my brother send them there."

"Whether my brother can marry a beautiful bride depends entirely on my sister."

Li Shuangwan glared at him: "Shame on you."

Li Yuanqiao chuckled.

"Dad, I have something important to tell you about Ziyang County."

Gu Xingyan came in soon after.

Li Huaiying was about to say something, but he swallowed it back the moment he saw Gu Xingyan coming in.

Although it is not surprising that Gu Xingyan will be his son-in-law, they have not yet gotten married.

What's more, his identity was embarrassing, and it was inappropriate for him to come in at this time.

However, Li Huaiying couldn't chase him away.

He could only say to his daughter: "Yan Yan, military orders are as heavy as mountains. Daddy and your brother must leave immediately. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we come back, okay, my dear daughter?"

Li Shuangwan fell to his knees.

Li Huaiying was startled, and without caring that his wife was tying his belt for him, he hurried forward to pull her up: "Yanyan, what are you kneeling for? Get up quickly, the floor tiles are so hard."

Li Shuangwan knelt on the ground stubbornly and refused to get up.

Li Huaiying glanced at Gu Xingyan and sighed. Never mind, she could say whatever she wanted to say. After all, she was his precious daughter. "What's the matter? Just tell me. Daddy is listening."

Before his father and brother returned from the palace, Li Shuangwan thought for a long time and finally decided to go straight to the point.

"Dad, the fall of Ziyang County was arranged by my daughter and Xingyan. I want you and brother to return to the northwest as soon as possible and not stay in Shengjing anymore."

"What did you say!" Li Huaiying was shocked, "Yan Yan, do you know what you are saying?"

"My daughter knows. It was my daughter who forged your handwriting and wrote a letter to your deputy general Sun Gaoyang, asking him to give 5,000 men to Xingyan's subordinate Jia Cheng, and together with Cui Jingyu's men, they took down Ziyang County."

"But Daddy, don't worry, no civilians were injured or killed."

"Are you crazy?" Li Huaiying gasped when he heard that, slammed his fist on the table, his face turned blue with anger.

He just felt that this matter was strange, but he never thought that it would be Yanyan.

"We are the Zhenguogong Mansion, a century-old family, guarding the northwest border from generation to generation. But you, Yanyan, how dare you, how dare you!"

Li Shuangwan raised his head, looked at Li Huaiying, and said stubbornly: "Dad, the military power in the northwest must not fall into the hands of others."

Li Huaiying did not refute this statement. If they lost their military power, their Zhenguo Mansion would be eaten to the bone.
