Master Zhong was startled by Qin Yining's question. He furrowed his brow thoughtfully.
Qin Yining continued, "The time is not right yet. Small fights won't have much of an effect on the Gao person. Once this kind of person recovers, I'm afraid he will retaliate against the common people. If that's the case, it's better to stabilize the common people and wait for the right time to carry out the next step of the plan. "
Master Zhong thought for a moment and then slowly nodded in realization. "I understand wang fei's meaning. I was thinking too simply just now. I didn't consider the consequences of the common people making a ruckus at this time. "
Qin Yining smiled and comforted Master Zhong. He then sighed and said, "Natural and man-made disasters, the ones who suffer the most are these common people. If we continue to give out congee, at least it will increase everyone's chances of survival. "
"Yes. Wang fei is a benevolent person. No matter if it was when you went bankrupt to save so many people during the drought or when you used your own money to help Wang Ye save the people during the earthquake, everything you have done has always been done with a clear conscience. I have always admired this. "
"You are too serious. I am a woman, and in this kind of situation. What I can do is limited. The present situation is like this. In the future, there may be many times when I will not be able to act freely. "
"It is already very good to be able to do something for the common people within the limits of my ability."
The two discussed some follow-up matters. Master Zhong hurriedly went to arrange the congee factory with Zhao Yinuo. He planned to find a new face to continue giving out congee.
Qin Yining returned to the room to play with the two children for a while. Xian Yun lifted the curtain and entered the room. Seeing Zhao Ge 'er and Han Ge' er awake, she said in a soft voice, "Wang fei, Jing Zhe has returned."
Qin Yining immediately stood and handed Han Ge 'er, who was in his arms, to the wet nurse.
She had arranged for Jing Zhe to secretly investigate the situation in the military camp. Pang Xiao's letter to him contained only good news and not bad news. She was afraid that Pang Xiao was in danger but did not want her to know.
She walked briskly to the main room of the Snow Pear Courtyard. Jing Zhe had been waiting for a long time with his head bowed. When he saw Qin Yining, he said, "Wangfei, the army seems to be in a state of disunity, but the central part of the camp is heavily guarded. Wang Ye must have made arrangements. Our men were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they didn't dare to get too close. As a result, we didn't get much information about Wang Ye. We only saw Wang Ye training his troops. But Deng Minchang's situation is very obvious. "
This was also within Qin Yining's expectations.
If Pang Xiao's Commander-in-chief's camp could allow people to gather information at will, after so many years of war, wouldn't he have been skinned alive?
"Then let's talk about Deng Minchang."
"Yes." Jing Zhe clasped his hands and bowed. Then he said in a low voice, "Deng Minchang doesn't do anything serious in the army. He is constantly drinking and having beautiful women to serve him. Normally, he is rarely seen training with the soldiers. Wang Ye also doesn't have any intention of strictly disciplining him."
"This kind of person can become a general?"
Even though Li Qitian was on the opposite side of them, Qin Yining believed in Li Qitian's intelligence and ability to use people. If Deng Minchang had been this kind of idiot from the beginning, he probably wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of general.
Qin Yining unconsciously played with the long hair that fell over his shoulder. His thoughts were all on this unusual situation.
But thinking back to what he had seen and heard in the past few days, Qin Yining had a rough idea of what was going on.
Even though the sky was high and the Emperor was far away, the situation here was no less chaotic than in Beijing. This was the old capital of the Yan dynasty. Not to mention whether the officials were loyal to Da Zhou or Dayan, not to mention the distance, the merchants and wealthy families all had their own plans.
If Deng Minchang was a tough and principled person like Pang Xiao, whether he was a local official or a tyrant, he was afraid that there would be times when he did things inappropriately. But if a person's temperament was raised the right way, then when he wanted to do something, he would be able to cater to his liking. What's more, they could even let women talk to him about it.
Even if it wasn't for the sake of smoothing out relationships, just having a guard full of flaws would be beneficial to the supporters of the Yan dynasty who were loyal to the Yuchi Yan.
Therefore, Qin Yining felt that it wasn't Li Qitian who chose an unreliable person to be the guard. Instead, it was someone who deliberately led the originally outstanding but weak-willed Deng Minchang onto the wrong path.
"It seems like Wang Ye's situation in the military isn't easy to handle. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. If Deng Minchang is this kind of person, then the soldiers he brought up won't be any better. "
"That's right. Wang Ye might still be busy in the military, "Jing Zhe said.
Qin Yining asked, "Are the soldiers still respectful to Wang Ye? Do they still listen to orders and prohibitions? "
"When I went there, it seemed like Wang Ye was handling things with ease. But it's definitely not easy to make all the generals in the military yield. "
Deng Minchang alone was not enough to represent all the generals in the army.
At this time, Qin Yining was extremely glad that he didn't tell Pang Xiao about the mess in his family. Li Qitian didn't have good intentions. If he arranged for Pang Xiao to be in this kind of place, then the situation in the military must have been brewing for a long time. If the general managed things well, then outsiders would see them as glorious, and Li Qitian wouldn't have any reason to blame them.
But if they didn't manage things well, then they would have to give up the title of War God Wang Ye. Not to mention Pang Xiao, even a woman like her would feel embarrassed for Pang Xiao.
"Wangfei. Wang Ye's letter has arrived. "Xianyun held a thick envelope with both hands.
Qin Yining suddenly stood up in surprise. He took the envelope and looked at Pang Xiao's bold and unrestrained handwriting. Qin Yining smiled from the bottom of his heart.
The contents of this letter were the same as the ones he wrote to her in the past. It was all about asking about her well-being, asking about the situation at home and the children's situation. It didn't mention a single word about the difficulties and chaos in the military. He definitely wouldn't write about the information that Jing Zhe found out.
Looking at the mushy "I miss you very much" at the bottom of the letter, Qin Yining's face turned red. He sat down at the black lacquered wooden table with a smile. He slowly ground the ink and thought about the contents of the letter.
But when she finished writing the letter, she found that what she did was no different from what Pang Xiao did.
Pang Xiao didn't tell her about the matters in the military, and she didn't tell Pang Xiao about the troubles around her.
The two of them only reported the good news and not the bad news. They both hid the unpleasant content and left the happy content.
Qin Yining shook his head and laughed. It seemed that Pang Xiao wasn't completely unconcerned about the outside world. He must have heard about the matters in the city. She didn't say anything in the letter. She didn't know if Pang Xiao would be angry if he knew.
By the time Pang Xiao received the letter, the sky had already darkened. He brought the letter close to the silk lamp and carefully read it back and forth three times. Only then did he chuckle as he folded the letter and kept it close to his body. He then told Huzi: "Take a few clever people and disguise yourselves as commoners. Go into the city and find out if there are any major events happening in the city these days."
