"Lord, the brothers who went out to patrol the city arrested some defeated soldiers. When they asked, they all followed Lin Ruhai to Yan'an Prefecture, including several people from Nanshan Camp, which was directly under Lin Ruhai."

When Li Xu went to the north gate to inspect again, Zhao Husheng reported.

Since Li Xu's last explanation, Zhang Long and Zhao Husheng have strengthened the patrol frequency outside the city, with the main purpose being to intercept these defeated soldiers who fled back from Yan'an Prefecture.

"What is the result of the interrogation? Are there any special circumstances?"

Li Xu guessed that it was almost done, so he was not surprised by this situation.

"These guys were scared out of their courage and kept calling out that our Tang armaments were powerful and could not resist at all. They also said that the commander Lin Ruhai was killed by our artillery from the beginning. Some guys even said that our Tang army was a heavenly soldier and general who came down to earth, and no one could be regarded as it. It seems that this battle really killed their souls directly."

Zhao Husheng smiled, his eyes full of contempt for the Qin army.

Li Xu knew how Lin Ruhai died, and Shi Dakai said it in the letter.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Ruhai's death by breaking his neck.

The so-called "God of the Great Qin Army" died like this?

It's really a unique way to die!

I just don’t know what Lin Yi will think after he dies, and will he think about seeking revenge on himself?

Speaking of which, although Li Xu is a person who cherishes talent, he will not be ruthless if he encounters someone who is ungrateful.

If Lin Yi dared to have such an idea at all, Li Xu would have dealt with him first before he could do it.

If he could think it openly and understand that the general would inevitably die in front of the formation, it would not be Li Xu's luck, but himself, and the luck of the entire Lin family.

The Lin family and his own future destiny are all in his own thoughts.

"Part the list of these people and hand them over to me. This is also the first gift we have given to the Qin monarch and minister. I really look forward to how they will react when they receive this news."

Li Xu casually explained, and a chuckled appeared on his face.

...

Taking the list of defeated soldiers compiled by Zhao Husheng, Li Xu went to the Song Mansion with a "serious expression".

As a result, Song Mu was not in the mansion and said he was still in the cabinet.

The cabinet is located in the Shangshu Province in the imperial city, and a small courtyard is specially set up here for the cabinet bosses to work.

Li Xu came to the gate of the Shangshu Province and took out his waist sign from behind the door. When the Jinwu Guard soldier on duty at the door looked at the heroic young general in front of him, he couldn't help but look at him more.

Moreover, there was no bloody scene of a little devil making a deliberate dilemma. After saluting respectfully, Li Xu was invited to the side hall next to him to rest and presented a cup of herbal tea.

After Li Xu finished drinking two cups of tea, a young civil servant hurried out to greet him.

The visitor claimed to be Wang Qinian, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and was ordered by the chief assistant Song Mu to come out to greet Li Xu.

He is not humble or arrogant in his attitude. He has no contempt for Li Xu, the upstart in the army who is rising, but he does not have any flattery, which makes Li Xu have a good impression of him.

I think this person is also Song Mu's confidant or training target.

You can pay attention to it later.

Li Xu was also very kind, neither the frivolous young man nor the domineering of a second-rank general. The confidence and calmness of Wang Qinian also secretly praised him. He could only express his admiration for the Prime Minister's recognition of people.

Both of them had a good impression of each other, so Li Xu took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Wang is not in the Ministry of Rites today, but he comes to the Secretariat. What big things are there to be done?"

Wang Qinian did not hide it from him and explained: "Today, the Chief Auxiliary summoned the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice to discuss the preparation of His Majesty's wedding. The Minister also came with the Minister of Justice. When the Chief Auxiliary heard the general's request for a meeting, he asked the Minister to come out to greet him."

Li Xu knew very well what the so-called preparation for a wedding was, but he still pretended to be curious and asked, "Your Majesty's wedding is indeed a big deal, but according to convention, it is generally prepared by the Ministry of Rites. Why are the other six ministers also here?"

Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "The lower official also has this doubt. But I think the chief minister still has other explanations."

Li Xu didn't ask much, knowing that Song Mu must have secretly explained the matter of serving the king.

Otherwise, once this incident spreads, with the situation like a large sieve in the Qin Dynasty, it will not take long for this incident to be put on the imperial cases of the emperors of other countries.

Once it is known to the State of Wei, the Wei army outside Hangu Pass will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.

The Shangshu Province is quite large, and Li Xu followed Wang Qinian for almost a stick of incense before he arrived at the small courtyard of the cabinet.

The small courtyard of the cabinet is very quiet. Although it looks a little simple, it is the real center of power for the entire Qin State.

Each of the cabinet's bigwigs has a sign-in room with a suite. In addition to the office, there is also a small living room and a small bedroom.

As the chief assistant, Song Mu has his suite at the innermost part, with the largest area and the most complete functions.

Several suites connect a hall in the middle through a covered bridge, which is also the place where the cabinet is held daily.

Whenever there is a big event, we will discuss it here.

With Li Xu's current ear strength, although he is a distance away and has obstacles from the wall, he can basically hear the voices in the hall clearly.

"Everyone, this matter must be kept strictly secret. You must not let the news leak out, otherwise you will be punished severely. The ministers will return to our yamen first. The Ministry of War will go back to the government office as soon as possible to draft a charter and send it to the cabinet. The Ministry of Revenue's food, grass and money must also start preparing. Don't talk about the difficulties, now is the most difficult time for my Great Qin. If you survived, you will be all heroes, and your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not forget your achievements. If you can't survive, then I don't need to say more about what your fate will be."

This is Song Mu's voice.

Then there were a few voices who were weak and responded, obviously they were the ministers of various ministries.

Li Xu's face was calm, and he stood outside the porch and waited quietly, but he felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

A group of people discussed how to deal with Tang Hou, but they didn't know that Tang Hou was standing outside the door.

A moment later, a group of civil servants wearing red official robes came out one after another, one by one, frowning.

Seeing Li Xu outside the door, he just turned his head and looked at him without paying much attention.

Although the Qin State did not have the atmosphere of the nobles and nobles of the Song and Ming dynasties, there was a natural opposition between the civil and military officials. These people were all second-rank officials and were self-reliant, so they would not take the initiative to put down their figure and make friends with a second-rank general.

Not to mention that it is such a young boy who has not yet won the championship.

In their eyes, Li Xu may even be the kind of minister who is lucky enough to advance.

Simply put, it is the guy who rises up by flattering the superiors. Inability to learn and ignorance is his synonym.
