Mrs. Qiao sighed quietly and said, "I am a woman in your man's affairs, and I don't understand it either. It's just that the commander-in-law has followed you for many years. Just don't misunderstand him."

Qiao Mingtang frowned and said, "Why do you speak for Wei Tianqing everywhere?"

"Me!" Mrs. Qiao's eyebrows were slightly raised, "What do you mean? How do I speak for him? But what he has done over the years has not been unable to deal with you. Is it because of the defeat of the war this time that he doubted him everywhere? You lead your own troops, right?"

"Stop!" Qiao Mingtang's expression changed.

Mrs. Qiao knew that she had made a mistake. She was always outspoken. Qiao Mingtang always cared for her, so sometimes she was a little unrestrained. She said half of her words, and knew that she was most taboo to say these things at this time. Her tone suddenly softened: "Master, I don't mean that." She smiled bitterly: "But there are not many people around you who can really trust, Wei Tianqing!"

Qiao Mingtang also sighed lightly and said, "Do you know that people's hearts are unpredictable. People who betray you are the ones you trust the most. Chu Huan is a person who is good at buying people's hearts. Otherwise, it would not have been a prosperous person in the northwest in just a few years, and there was a large group of people gathered around you. You may not know that this person won people's hearts in the northwest and Guangxi, and the method is indeed great. I also know that Wei Tianqing is loyal to me, and this person also values ​​friendship, but for this reason, if Chu Huan wins love with friendship, it may not be impossible."

Mrs. Qiao obviously still disagrees with this.

"I haven't said some words to you." Qiao Mingtang said slowly: "When the capital fell, Wei Tianqing said to me privately, asking me to raise the flag of the anti-flag. This person would have complained to the court a long time ago. If it were someone else, I would have killed him!"

Mrs. Qiao looked around and said softly: "Master, the people are complaining about the harsh rule of Qin. When the old emperor was alive, the people in the world had already made the world miserable. Now even the capital has been lost. The new emperor of Qin has ascended the throne, but he has not seen how good he is to you!"

Qiao Mingtang frowned even more and said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

"Master, everyone in the world is rebelling against Qin now, you!" Seeing that Qiao Mingtang's face was not good, Mrs. Qiao was a little nervous and didn't dare to say anything more.

Qiao Mingtang rebuked: "Madam, it's okay for others to talk nonsense, why are you talking nonsense here? When the emperor was still the prince, he had the kindness of support for me. If it were not for the prince, I would not be able to sit in my current position. Not to mention these personal grudges, since I am a minister of Qin, I should be loyal to the king. The emperor has the kindness of knowing me, and no matter what, he will be loyal to the Qin Dynasty."

Seeing that Qiao Mingtang's face was extremely cold. Although Qiao Mingtang was very spoiled to her on weekdays, Mrs. Qiao was also quick to speak, but at this moment, she seemed really annoyed, but she didn't dare to say more. She sighed: "Master, you are all happy, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. I'll cook some porridge for you, you haven't eaten for a day!" She sighed, turned around and was about to leave. Before she could walk out of the gate, a person came towards her and almost ran into her. Mrs. Qiao shouted, but fortunately the man was dodging quickly, but she looked very embarrassed.

Mrs. Qiao glanced at it and frowned and said, "Master Xiao, why are you so anxious?"

"Wei Wei Tianqing is back." The person who came was Xiao Moyun, the head of the Ministry of War, gasping heavily, "Madam, the lower officials are reckless, the lower officials are punished!"

Mrs. Qiao's charming eyes were wide open, but she didn't care about Xiao Moyun's offense and rudeness, and asked anxiously: "What did you say? Wei Tianqing, Wei Commander is back?"

Qiao Mingtang was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed. After hearing this, he stood up suddenly, rushed over in three or five steps, and said anxiously: "Where is the person?"

Xiao Moyun gasped and said, "Duke Qiao, Wei Tianqing and a dozen people have just entered the city. When the official got the news, he hurried to report it. I'm afraid Wei Tianqing will arrive soon."

Mrs. Qiao showed joy and said with a smile: "Master, I just say that the Wei Governor is loyal to you and has no other intentions!"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Mingtang coughed twice in a row. Mrs. Qiao's cheeks turned red. He knew that she had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Master Xiao, you guys talk about it first. I'll prepare tea for you."

She is the wife of the dignified governor, and Xiao Moyun is just a chief officer. Naturally, she is not on the turn of the governor's wife to prepare tea. But Mrs. Qiao blurted out, for fear that Qiao Mingtang would blame him and feel guilty, so she wanted to find an excuse to leave.

After Mrs. Qiao left, Qiao Mingtang said: "Go into the house and talk."

Xiao Moyun followed Qiao Mingtang into the house. Qiao Mingtang signaled Xiao Moyun to sit down. Xiao Moyun sat half of his butt on the chair and whispered: "Duke Qiao, it seems that Wei Tianqing has really defeated nearly 20,000 troops in Liangzhou!" sighed: "In the past, when talking about military affairs with the Wei General, the Wei General was a little proficient in military affairs. He said that the Wei General was a bit proficient in military affairs. He said that even the officials were inferior to the lower officials. Many colleagues in the Ministry of War said that the Wei General was the first general in the West Mountain, but he really did not expect that the entire army would be wiped out in just one battle!" He shook his head with a wry smile.

Qiao Mingtang picked up the teacup sent by Mrs. Qiao, blew the tea powder, and asked, "Master Xiao, what do you want to say, just say it bluntly, don't bend around the bush."

Xiao Moyun was stunned, then looked outside the door, then leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Duke Qiao, from the heart, the subordinates admire the ability of the Wei Governor, and it is not the subordinates who praise the Wei Governor. Looking at the Xishan Road, besides the Governor, the only person who can stand alone is probably the only person."

Qiao Mingtang said lightly: "I remember that your relationship with Wei Tianqing is not harmonious, and it seems that there is still some misunderstanding. I have never said good things about Wei Tianqing in front of me. Why do you praise Wei Tianqing so much today?"

Xiao Moyun was a little embarrassed, but said: "What the lower official said to Duke Qiao is from public intention and does not care about private matters."

Qiao Mingtang nodded slightly and said, "I naturally understand that Wei Tianqing is indeed a talent, otherwise I would not hand over the imperial guards to his hands."

"Duke Qiao, please forgive me for saying that it is because of this that I am worried." Xiao Moyun sighed: "In recent years, I have trusted Wei Tianqing very much, and I have handed over the Imperial Guards to Wei Tianqing for management. The five thousand Imperial Guards were all trained by Wei Tianqing to fight in Tongzhou. We have suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, the Imperial Guards have returned a lot, and there are still nearly two thousand Imperial Guards in the city now!"

Qiao Mingtang's eyebrows twitched slightly and he didn't say anything.

"The official dared to ask, Wei Tianqing is here to come back this time, how will Du Qiao be placed?" Xiao Moyun looked solemn.

Qiao Mingtang put down the teacup, but there was not much change between his eyebrows. He asked back: "Wei Tianqing is the commander of the Imperial Guards. Although he was defeated, victory or defeat is a common matter for military affairs. Does Master Xiao think that when Wei Tianqing comes back, the governor should be dismissed from office?"

Xiao Moyun hesitated for a moment before saying carefully: "Duke Qiao, the official is brave enough to say that Wei Tianqing is back this time, no matter what, he cannot hand over Yunshan's military power to him."

"Oh?" Qiao Mingtang raised his eyebrows, "Why is this?"

"Duke Qiao, Wei Tianqing was defeated in Liangzhou. The subordinates thought about it again and again, and always felt that something was wrong." Xiao Moyun lowered his voice and said, "Master Pang has been to the Northwest Army Camp. When he heard the conversation between Chu Huan and the others, Chu Huan received the Liangzhou war report and immediately asked Wei Tianqing for safety. He knew that Wei Tianqing had escaped safely, so he felt relieved. From this, it can be seen that Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing have indeed had a strong relationship."

"I will naturally know their relationship." Qiao Mingtang said: "Don't forget that the wife was hijacked by bandits in Jingjiang. Chu Huan saved her wife's life. Speaking of which, she still has some kindness to me. Wei Tianqing had acquainted with him because she was grateful for his kindness to save her wife. Wei Tianqing values ​​friendship. It is reasonable for him to be incest to Chu Huan."

Xiao Moyun sighed: "It is precisely because the Wei commander is too kind that the subordinates are worried. Qiao Du, Liangzhou has nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, well-equipped, not below the Northwest Army, or even surpassing the Northwest Army. Even if the Northwest Army has cavalry as a trump card, 20,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out overnight, which is always strange."

Qiao Mingtang jumped slightly and said, "Do you think Wei Tianqing betrayed the governor and deliberately sent Liangzhou reinforcements to the ambush circle of the Northwest Army?"

"The officials dare not speak nonsense." Xiao Moyun said solemnly: "But, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Qiao Mingtang said: "If Wei Tianqing really betrayed the governor, how dare he come back to Yunshan?"

Xiao Moyun whispered: "The officials think that this is the suspicious point and the most important thing to be wary of. Wei Tianqing came back to Yunshan this time, and whether he came back to report his life or had other intentions, he had to be wary."

"Oh?" Qiao Mingtang glanced at Xiao Moyun, "Do you think Wei Tianqing has no intention to come back this time?"

"The officials also hope there is nothing else." Xiao Moyun said seriously: "But if Liangzhou's defeat is really a reason, then Wei Tianqing must have made some plans when he comes back this time."

Qiao Mingtang said lightly: "I understand what you mean. Do you think he might be coming back as an insider and help Chu Huan take down my Yunshan Mansion?" Two fingers gently tapped the chair handle, with sharp eyes and sneered: "Does he really have such courage?"

Xiao Moyun said: "The lower official only hopes that Duke Qiao can be wary of one or two. However, if he really comes back as an internal agent, the lower official believes that Wei Tianqing has such courage. This person is very brave. If he is eager to make a brilliant contribution for Chu Huan and takes risks, it is not impossible." Seeing that Qiao Mingtang did not speak, he whispered: "Most of the two thousand imperial guards in the city were trained by Wei Tianqing, and many of them were Wei Tianqing's direct subordinates. If this person really has bad intentions, the lord handed over the military power to his hands. The lower official was only worried about a drastic change."

Qiao Mingtang's eyes turned cold, but Xiao Moyun bowed and said, "Duke Qiao, it's not because of his prejudice against Wei Tianqing that he is here to provoke right and wrong. Today's situation is serious, so Duke Qiao must be on guard."
