Yinxiang didn't dare to speak anymore, so she lowered her head. She put the residue in her coarse cloth skirt. She was about to get up when she heard Xiao Heng sighing and couldn't help but go to see Xiao Heng. Seeing Xiao Heng's sad face, the little maid hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Young Master, are you...what are you unhappy?"

Xiao Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Yinxiang, I don't hide it from you. In fact, this time I came here, I was ordered to talk to Director Chu about something. Today, seeing you, I am going to go back to Beishan earlier, and then prepare to have someone come over to propose marriage to Director Chu..."

Yinxiang was shy and nervous: "Young Master, you... are you proposing marriage to the master?"

"I, Xiao Heng, always speaks and does things in a neat manner." Xiao Heng said seriously: "Since I want to marry you, no matter how difficult it is, I don't care. I want to carry a sedan chair to welcome you through the door in a glorious manner..." Then he looked anxious: "But Shuoquan's affairs cannot be completed, but he cannot leave. What should I do... this is good!"

Yinxiang hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "Xiao... Master Xiao, is there any big deal for you to find the master? Master... The master is discussing major issues with several officials. They... they seem to be arguing about you... your Beishan affairs..."

Xiao Heng's eyes twitched, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "Duke Chu is Tanbeishan?"

Yinxiang nodded and said, "Those officials even started arguing about the Beishan incident..."

"Oh?" Xiao Heng's heart tightened, but he looked interested and asked, "They started arguing about Beishan? Why is this?"

"I...!" Yinxiang hesitated for a moment before lowering her head and said, "I don't know, Mr. Xiao, wait for a while, I... I will take my leave first." The little maid hurried out, Xiao Heng had already gotten up and followed a few steps behind. The little maid walked to the door, turned around and took a look, her face flushed. Seeing that Xiao Heng was also looking at him, she quickly turned her head and took a step away.

"Yinxiang, I'm at Xinglong Inn..." Xiao Heng chased to the door, but saw Yinxiang's figure running through the corridor and turning to another corridor.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Heng's mouth, and then his brows frowned. He took out a red handkerchief from his arms, walked slowly into the house, carefully held the red handkerchief in his hand, entered the house, sniffed with his nose, and said softly, "It's been so long, there's still fragrance... How soft is your body... How can I see other women? Only you, only you, day and night in my heart... Do you know, I'm day and night in my heart...

Everyone wants to hold you in their arms and press them under them. I want to kiss you... kiss you...!" He stroked the red squid, as if he was stroking the woman's skin. The small handkerchief seemed to make him dream in an instant. At this moment, he had already heard a sensation coming, and the sound seemed to be there and there, but the courtyard was extremely quiet. Xiao Heng had heard it, so he hurriedly put the red squid carefully and listened with his ears. The sound seemed to be coming from nearby.

Xiao Heng turned his eyes and then went out of the door, looked around and found that there was no one. Then he followed the sound and touched it softly. Xiao Heng had inquired that although the Xiguan Governor's Office was huge, there were not many servants in the mansion. If it were other governors, there were not only hundreds of family members and servants. However, the only one of the Xiguan Governor's Office was said to have only a few dozen people.

Such a large mansion, with scattered courtyards, numerous houses, winding corridors, and those who are not familiar with the environment can even get lost in the mansion. Such a large mansion, with only dozens of people, naturally looks extremely deserted.

Turning over a corridor, the sound of quarrels coming became clearer. When he walked outside a courtyard wall, Xiao Heng had heard the sound coming from the yard. He went around to the main gate and saw soldiers guarding the yard gate. He didn't dare to approach. He hesitated for a moment, and went around to the back of the yard. He rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the yard wall. This was the inner wall of the mansion, so it was not high. Xiao Heng was also skilled. When he turned into the yard, he heard it clearly. The quarrels came from a house with both doors and windows closed.

The people in the house obviously expected that someone would dare to climb over the wall in the Governor's Mansion, so the quarrels were gone. Xiao Heng saw that there was a row of flower beds behind the house, and he had already hid in the middle of the flower bed, leaning against the wall, listening with his breath.

He was a little surprised. The Governor's Office discussed important matters and how could there be a quarrel. And according to Yinxiang, it seemed that it was for the Beishan matter.

"Duke Chu, even if we don't mobilize the troops of Jinhe and the two states, our troops will not be inferior to those of Beishan." A rough voice said: "Xiao Huanzhang wants to take advantage of others' danger. If we don't give him some color, he would think that our Xiguan is easy to bully and will definitely gain a better position in the future."

Xiao Heng's heart sank.

"Duke Chu, no." A voice advised: "Although Xiao Huanzhang had his troops on the border, he had not stepped into our Xiguan territory after all, and they were all from the government. If we use troops to Beishan, how can we explain to the court?"

"It's not that we don't come, but we don't dare." The rough voice immediately retorted: "If we fail to conquer Jin He, do you dare to say that Xiao Huanzhang would not take advantage of the situation? At that time, do you think the court will have the strength to take care of him? Xiao Huanzhang knew that the court was unable to intervene in the affairs of the Northwest, so he had that kind of ambition... Now that we win, we naturally cannot let him go."

"Not bad!" Another voice said: "Duke Chu, Xiao Huanzhang is unkind and unrighteous, and we must not let go of the knife in the back. General Xuanyuan is in Jiazhou, and we secretly mobilize our troops... Didn't it mean that Xiao Huanzhang's nephew has arrived in Shuoquan? We will confuse him and deliberately show kindness to him, so that he will be less prepared. After he returns, Xiao Huanzhang thought we would not take action and would inevitably be relaxed. We will concentrate our troops and take Qingzhou first without preparation, and then directly into Xinzhou to capture Xiao Huanzhang's mistress. At that time, his family will not be left..."

Xiao Hengxin, hiding under the wall, was frightened and sweated a lot on his back. He thought that today was really worth it, otherwise he would never know that Xiguan was preparing such a sinister plan.

"Even if the court has no spare strength to manage it, so what? Let's send troops rashly and Wuming's troops, how can we fight this battle?"

"Who said that the division was named Wuming?" Someone sneered: "Isn't Xiao Huanzhang's Beishan Army on our border? It's easy to deal with it. Send people to disguise themselves as small Beishan Army and loot one or two villages. As long as one person is killed or injured, we have an excuse to send troops to attack Beishan."

Xiao Heng couldn't help but curse "despicable" in his heart, thinking that Chu Huan was surrounded by such a group of sinister and cunning people. In order to become famous in attacking Beishan Master, he even used the despicable means of frame-up. At this time, he forgot that he was doing things for Xiao Huanzhang and the means of frame-up were perfect.

At this moment, I heard a familiar voice saying, "This is a good idea!"

Although Xiao Heng had only seen Chu Huan once, he was a person with strong observation skills. Knowing Chu Huan's status in the northwest, he carefully observed Chu Huan's behavior and expression at that time. He still remembered Chu Huan's voice freshly.

He immediately judged that it was Chu Huan who said this.

However, this sentence made Xiao Heng's heart jump. Judging from Chu Huan's meaning, it was a good idea to praise the method of frame-up. Does that mean that Chu Huan actually had the intention to attack Beishan?

Xiao Heng knew very well that although the three northwest roads are still the territory of the empire, what really happened on the northwest land is, if it were half a year ago, the empire might have the strength to intervene in it, but now the party struggles between the court, while the court outside the court has to deal with the Blue Heaven King and the Heavenly Gate. His Majesty's obsession with practicing Taoism has not been reduced, and the court has no ability to actually interfere in the affairs of the northwest.

If Xiguan really wants to send troops to attack Beishan, it will undoubtedly be bad news for Beishan.

When he was glad that when he heard such a major secret in Xiguan, he was even more worried about what Xiguan would plan next. He held his breath and heard one of them said: "This plan is very good. As long as people are killed and injured, we can say that Xiao Huanzhang sent troops to invade Xiguan. He was ambitious and had the intention of rebellion. At that time, just like dealing with Jinhe and the other states, we will kill Xiao Huanzhang's thief under the knife. By the way, don't let his family go, well, isn't Xiao Huanzhang's nephew coming this time? Chu Duke, should you cut off the boy's head and sacrifice the flag first?"

Xiao Heng's face suddenly turned pale and his whole body was chilling. He knew that this trip to Shuoquan was very dangerous, but he still had luck in his heart. He only felt that Chu Huan was not a fool and should not have killed the imperial officials easily. Although he was only an official of the Beishan Ministry of Personnel, he was still an official at least.

"How can I confuse Xiao Huanzhang if I kill him?" Someone immediately objected: "This person cannot be killed for the time being. We must use him to let Xiao Huanzhang relax. When he breaks through Xinzhou and catches Xiao Huanzhang, it will not be too late to chop the boy's head together."

"It's right." Someone said, "It's just that we really want to send troops to attack Beishan. With our strength, we can really win with confidence? But don't forget that Beishan has not been occupied by the people of Xiliang, and the materials are not scarce, at least the food is much more abundant than us."

"I don't think it's a big problem." He said with a rough voice: "Although Xiao Huanzhang has expanded his army and has a lot of troops, the soldiers under him are only local troops. We are the Pingxi Army. In our hands, many of them are the imperial guards, prefectures, and even some soldiers who were originally affiliated with the Northwest Army. These people survived the bloody battle with the people of Xiliang. This time they went to the Jinhe Prefectures. Looking at the three northwest roads, the combat effectiveness of the Pingxi Army is beyond doubt. Compared with the wine bag under Xiao Huanzhang, the difference between heaven and earth is different. If you don't fight, you will have it. As long as you fight over it, the Beishan Army will definitely be in a state of decline. Speaking of food, you are right. We are indeed not as much food as they do, but it doesn't matter. Without food, we will have it when we fight to Beishan."

A clear voice said: "That's true. When we suddenly attacked, the Beishan people were not prepared at all. The first thing they took was to take Qingzhou. There were many gentry and tyrants in Qingzhou. Every family had stored grain. When we took Qingzhou, they had not come back to their senses and had not evacuated at all. By then, the food in Qingzhou would be enough to supply our army!"

Xiao Heng clenched his fists, his face pale, and thought to himself: "You are indeed sinister and vicious. God has eyes. Fortunately, I heard it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Fortunately, I thought it would be very dangerous to stay at the base of this wall. If someone discovered that Chu Huan saw that he had eavesdropped on the major military situation, he would definitely kill people to silence him. He wanted to leave secretly, but he was thinking about knowing what result they had come up with. After hesitating for a while, he was still a little courageous, quietly holding his breath for eavesdropping.
