"So..." Ning Nanyou raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him seriously: "The reason why these men in black suddenly disappeared in Koizumi Lane must be disguised as people in the city. Therefore, the soldiers sent to investigate did not notice this matter."

Lu Xun immediately responded: "Since that's the case, my subordinates will now go and check the number of households in the city one by one, and check the number..."

He acted in a hurry and wanted to leave.

Ning Nanyou shouted: "Come back!"

Lu Xun's half foot that had stepped out could not bear to tremble, slowly retracted it, and looked back at the husband in confusion: "Lord, do you have any other instructions?"

Ning Nanyou was a little annoyed and stared at him coldly and said, "Lu Chengzhong, can you use your brain to do things? It's been more than half a month since the incident happened. What is the use of you now going to check the households in the city? This group of people have long since slipped away. What we should do now is to investigate how many people who entered the city in the name of caravans or refugees in the north have entered the city in the past three months, and find flaws.

Although the border town is not limited to outsiders, people coming and going must register and record them in the case, including you and others. Even if you fake their identities, they can still find records from the list. Due to frequent wars in the border areas, there are many refugees. This group of people in black are huge. If you want to enter the city, you can only get among refugees, or like us, under the name of a caravan, you can conceal the guards in front of the city to verify."

Lu Xun was scolded and dejected. Since he entered the north, he often disturbed his mind because of Zhou Yuanshu. Even he himself could feel that these days, in the past few months, he has become increasingly outrageous, and his every moment has shown his stupidity.

Ning Nanyou frowned, and knew Lu Xun's frustration in his heart, so he turned his head and instructed Ji Xianzhi: "Uncle Ji...I want to leave this matter to you to investigate..."

Lu Xun listened silently, not daring to have any objection. Ji Xianzhi looked at the master and servant silently, leaned over and bowed, "Old slave."

"Lu Xun..." After a moment, the husband said to the young man who looked dark and despaired, "More than half a month ago, Aluo was attacked in my house... I'm afraid it's also related to this group of people. You can follow Uncle Ji to investigate. I must know who hurt her."

Lu Xun originally thought that Ning Nanyou would not let him interfere in the matter again, but when he heard his order, he immediately looked happy and swore: "Hey, I will definitely find out the murderer who seriously injured the woman."

After some instructions, Ning Nanyou planned to return to the house. Lu Xun stepped forward in three or two steps and gently pushed the wooden wheel toward the master bedroom.

Even though the weather is cold and cold, the warm sun hanging above the blue sky is particularly dazzling.

The next evening, Xiao Sa, who had fallen into a fainting state, had been sleeping for a day and a night, finally woke up.

When Ning Nanyou learned about this, he immediately struggled to stay, boarded the wooden wheel, and prepared to visit Chengyuan where Xiao Sa lived temporarily.

Unexpectedly, before the servants could push the husband's wooden wheel out of the water pavilion courtyard, Xiao Sa led the generals in the city to come over.

He woke up with a look of fatigue. After hearing the news that Ning Nanyou and Jiang Chengjia woke up on the same day, he immediately summoned all the generals in the city to run towards the Shuiting courtyard despite the opposition of the military doctor.

The two happened to meet in front of the screen wall, standing and sitting, both of them were sick, accompanied by heavy snow flying in the city, and their figures were particularly elegant and bright.

Xiao Sa has been withered for many days, and when Ning Nanyou wakes up, his uneasy heart can finally settle down.

He walked forward, and because he was considering that among the generals behind him, there were people from the capital, and he was not good at exposing Ning Nanyou's identity, he had to nod to the husband in front of him: "Caozhou Wei..."

Ning Nanyou was seriously injured by Archie's legs and muscles and bones during the battle. He could not get up to greet him, so he bowed with both hands: "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Sa frowned deeply, looked at Lang Jun's weak and weak face, and looked grateful: "Fortunately, you can only maintain peace in the border town with all your might. A certain generation of people from the northern city thank you!"

After saying that, Xiao Sa knelt down on the spot, and all the generals behind him were shocked.

Seeing this, Ning Nanyou was shocked and hurriedly reached out to support Xiao Sa who was kneeling in front of him: "What is Lord Xiao doing? The official... cannot bear this gift."

Xiao Sa lowered his head and saw that his legs, which were vaguely exposed after his robe, were covered with gauze, and he felt tears in his eyes.

He was late for a long time before he slowly got up, hurriedly covered the tears in his eyes, and said hurriedly: "You have had a moment of peace, and I led the generals to disturb you... It's really unreasonable. But... a major incident happened on the border of the Great Wei Dynasty... It's already a hundred thousand urgent, and I dare not continue to delay. Since you are the Yongzhou Prefecture Commander appointed by me personally, you should also know about this."

Ning Nanyou saw the ten surviving vanguard generals of Changming Army standing behind him, as well as some soldiers wearing Yongzhou garrison uniforms and Kyoto military uniforms, and his eyes darkened, and his black pupils turned slightly, gradually frowned.

In the courtyard, the weather was cold and the earth was frozen, just like the current situation in the Great Wei Dynasty, on the eve of the fight.

Xiao Sa didn't feel like he had put his robe on his body, and his rustling spirit surged into his heart.

Ning Nanyou held his movement into his eyes and said softly: "Mr. Xiao, it's cold outside the house. Why not go into the house and talk about it in detail?"

The servant pushed the husband's wooden wheel back to the house.

Xiao Sa led a group of military generals into the Shuiting courtyard.

Close the door, the servant was inside the pearl curtain, and quickly placed a sufficient amount of cushions in front of the screen. Xiao Sa and the generals sat on the spot, gathered in front of the Langjun wooden wheel.

Before Ning Nanyou asked, Xiao Sa could not wait to say, "During the time when Caozhouwei was unconscious, the Xiongnu and Xianbei retreated... but they privately gathered people from the royal families of various countries around the Great Wei and leaders of various tribes, as if they wanted to form an alliance to attack the Great Wei together."

Ning Nanyou frowned, and he couldn't help but clench his sleeves, and listened to him silently.

Xiao Sa: "I have submitted a memorial to the capital to report this matter... At present, the Yongzhou garrison and the reinforcements sent by the capital can only temporarily guard the northern land. If the Qiang clan and the Xiongnu and Xianbei unite, conspire to small countries and tribes around the Great Wei, and raise troops to attack the Great Wei... According to the current situation of garrisoning on the border, the Great Wei will never win.

Your Majesty has not approved the transfer of troops... Even if the transfer of troops is approved, the territory of the Great Wei may not be able to gather enough troops to deal with the coalition forces of various countries in a short while. If we want to defend the peace of the border, we need to first inform the county magistrates and county magistrates of the states to conduct military defense. However, it is not easy to notify all the city defense generals on the border at present. Therefore, only if we first deploy the defense of the Yongzhou border and defend the front line of the Great Wei, can we buy time for the subsequent visit."

The more Ning Nanyou listened, his face became more gloomy.

Archie was so bold that he wanted to lobby the surrounding countries and tribes to attack the Wei Dynasty together?

In recent years, although the military strength of the Great Wei is not as strong as in previous years, it is still a national dynasty on the Jiuzhou continent that cannot be attacked at will. Even if Archie leads the coalition forces of various countries to attack from all parts of the border of the Great Wei, at most they can only occupy the border cities. If they want to continue to attack the territory of the Great Wei, they must have sufficient troops. Otherwise, once the Wei army gathers, the coalition forces of various countries will not be enough to occupy the city to resist.

For some reason, Ning Nanyou always felt that this matter was quite strange. Even though Archie was arrogant and arrogant, he would not be so reckless and unresponsive to join forces with the tribes of the grassland and the armies of the surrounding countries.

He took advantage of the situation and recalled Jiang Chengyi's assassination by the Huns in the capital, and an ominous premonition immediately arose in his heart.

Ning Nanyou studied this matter deeply and lost his mind without realizing it.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Xiao Sa thought he had other plans, so he asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

The husband sitting upright on the wooden wheel pulled out of his mixed thoughts and looked up and saw Xiao Sa looking at him with anticipation.

After careful consideration, Ning Nan suggested to him: "What governor Xiao said has some truth. But the officials felt that Archie would not necessarily choose Yongzhou as the first front when he attacked the Great Wei next time. There were reinforcements from the capital and Yongzhou defenders in the north, so there was no need to say much about the Longxi generation, and the Cao family army was guarding him.

Nowadays, the weakest force and the most easily invaded place of the enemy is actually Liangzhou. If Aerqi and the monarchs of each border, the leader would definitely choose the most easily defensive place to attack Wei successfully. Liangzhou must be the first to bear the brunt of this battle. If Lord Xiao really wants to defend the peace of the border between the Great Wei, it would be better to notify the governor of Liangzhou and the lieutenant of the Liangzhou first and ask them to step up their defenses. If necessary, send troops to support Liangzhou."

Xiao Sa thought carefully about his words, lowered his eyes and pondered repeatedly, and said in a few words: "What Caozhou Wei said is very much. But... If you want to rush to Liangzhou, you may be inadequate in the Yongzhou border defense."

Ning Nanyou: "If the governor is willing to take a risk, there is a way to get the best of both worlds."

Xiao Sa listened carefully and said politely: "Please tell me Caozhou Wei."

Ning Nanyou: "I hope the governor can write a letter to King Cao Yong of the Punishment, explain to him the current situation, and ask him to submit a memorial to Kyoto, obtain an order, and lead the Cao family army to guard Longxi and the northern part respectively."

Xiao Sa's eyes were shocked. After hearing this suggestion, he was speechless and did not know how to answer.

His expression was hesitant and even a little dim. The generals behind him also lowered their heads and whispered.

No matter how soft they spoke, Ning Nanyou could hear a few harsh words.

I heard the reinforcements general who came from the capital quietly say to a vanguard general of Changming Army: "Brother, what is this Caozhou Wei... what is his identity? How dare you say such a bold advice?"
