Chapter 16 Yanmen Lonely Smoke

When the things in the dark prison passed, Ye Yun was not relieved, but became more worried. As he said, the storms of Fengyuanhou Mansion are all small waves. Qin Si is fearless, and he doesn't pay attention to it. Let them tos around, but I just don't bother to pay attention to it.

But will the third prince stop so easily? The prince's attitude is very conservative, not as radical as that of the third prince. What attitude will he and the emperor take towards Fengyuan Marquis?

These are all worried by Ye Yun. He sent his men to inquire about the news in two ways. He stood on the gate of Qizhou in the wind, and the cold wind poured in from his sleeves, blowing up the white silk that had been served, penetrating into the bone marrow, clear and wild. Ye Yun looked up at the north, where was the Yanmen Gate of the Celestial Empire. Under the wind, sand and cold armor, it is hot. And the south is the capital, where hundreds of miles are prosperous, but behind the smile is murderous.

I don't know which side will bring back the good news...

The stars and the moon are spinning, the Yanmen Pass stands in the wind and sand with a cold breath, and the towers are patrolling soldiers. Unlike the prosperity of Beijing and the simplicity of a small town, everyone here breathes carefully.

In a post hall closed by Yanmen, a dim candlelight slowly passed through the window. In front of the window is a person's back, tall and steady. This is the Qin Dynasty, the cavalry general who came to the town by order. His eyebrows are more wrinkled than before, and it is complicated under heavy breathing.

"General." A general came in with the wine jar in his arms, and the Qin Dynasty waved his hand to sit beside him.

"Sit down and have a few drinks with me." Qin Chaoding looked at the beloved general who went out with him from the Gyeonggi army and was relieved. He slapped the mud of the wine jar, filled the wine bowl in front of him, and then hummed and handed it to the soldiers beside him.

The name of this taxi is Tang Qian, and he has been following Qin Chaoding for several years. He picked up the wine bowl and collided with the bowl of Qin Chaoding and drank it all. Ordinary people only know what drinks and eat to relieve their worries, but they don't know that wine is the most worrying. A few bowls of wine, the scorching heat moves up from the abdomen, drinking with the mind, which is most likely to get drunk.

Tang Qian put down the wine bowl in his hand and sighed, "General, you said that the Tatar army didn't know why they sent a large army to suppress the border. They didn't retreat or fight, and they also said that they were training. Tatar is desolate and lacks food and materials. It's not good for them to drag it like this.

Qin Dynasty must have hit the wine bowl heavily on the wooden table, with deep tranquility in his eyes. He just got the news about the situation in Beijing. My only daughter was married, but she is not the third prince. Now she is still in Fengyuan Hou's house. I don't know whether it's good or not.

And half of the Gyeonggi army he brought down with one hand was at Yanmen and ate with him. Half of it was in the capital and was taken over by the third prince Qi Zhongtian.

"That's how they drag it, and our Celestial Empire also needs to lose a lot. If these soldiers can't leave, they need military uniforms. There are no soldiers, but it has added so much burden that I don't know how much the court can hold on. Qin Chaoding smiled bitterly, and another bowl of yellow water fell into his stomach.

Tang Qian pinched his fist and beat him on the table and said, "General, when it comes to military contributions, the share of the first few months has made the soldiers dissatisfied. The grain salary of our Gyeonggi army is 30% more than that of the Yanmen Pass. The general asked us to take out the silver of the military supplies and give it to the Yanmen Guan soldiers, and did it as a humble job. But..."

"But what?" Qin Chaoding recently put his mind on strengthening the Yanmen Gate, but he was not clear about the military pay. At this time, when I saw Tang Qian talking about it, I naturally had to ask.

"However, the military money issued one after another is even less, and the deposit is also exhausted. The humble position has been under pressure, and I don't know what to do. Tang Qian said and knelt down with his fist during the armor collision.

Qin Dynasty said in a loud voice, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" With a little blame in his words, Qin Chaoding stood up and threw the wine bowl aside, which was more worried as he paced.

"Daw. The humble position saw that the general had been worried about prevention, so he wanted to deal with it in private and then tell the general." Tang Qian was in a hurry and panicked. The sweat beads came from the corner of his forehead, and the swollen muscles and bones between his fingers trembled.

Although Qin Chaoding was angry, he was not an unreasonable person. Tang Qian is the person he trusts most after Su Nianzhi. Now the blame is small, and how to deal with military remunities is true.

You should know that marching and fighting is a big taboo. The soldiers have a country and a home in their hearts. Who doesn't have a high-class wife? If they don't support these military sages, the soldiers can't take care of and comfort others, so why do they have to work for the country?

"What's the difference in military pay this time?" Qin Chaoding frowned, carefully checked the doors and windows, and asked in a low voice.

Tang Qian made a rough calculation and replied, "About 50,000 taels..."

"Fifty thousand taels?" This is not a small amount, and the Qin Dynasty was shocked. During the period when he came to Yanmenguan, the sergeants of Yanmenguan were very repulsive of the Gyeonggi army, and the Jingji army was arrogant and unbearable. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he could not eliminate the dispute. The most annoying thing for him is that the general has different thoughts about the war. He was quite at odds with the original Yanmenguan general, which made it more difficult for the soldiers and soldiers to get along with each other.

Regarding the money, it is one of the dissatisfaction of the Yanmen Guan.

The Yanmen garrison has been guarding at the border all year round, which can be said to be very hard and eat the imperial grain. However, unlike the generals of the Gyeonggi army, the generals of the Gyeonggi army are all from the family of generals or have a family background. And the capital is much more expensive than the border defense. In this way, the military pay of the Gyeonggi army is higher than that of the border defenders.

Originally, everyone was well-intentioned, so that there would be no gap. But this time, unlike usual, the arrival of the Gyeonggi army did not reduce the burden on the border soldiers.

There is no battle, and they are not familiar with urban defense, so all this is still done by the soldiers of Yanmenguan.

In this way, the differences in treatment and military salaries naturally chill the Yanmen generals. It is a taboo for the Qin Dynasty to disagree with the generals at Yanmen Pass, and they can only make concessions in this regard.

"Yes." Tang Qian looked carefully at Qin Chaoding with a difficult face.

Qin Chao will wave his hand to let Tang sneak back. If the military supplies are exhausted, there is nothing he can do. If it really doesn't work, we have to let the soldiers of the Gyeonggi army take out the extra part.

But this is also a difficult problem...

The idea set by the Qin Dynasty failed in the end. The military was sent to the border gate, but it was not issued. The minds of the soldiers are as restless as the dry straw in autumn, and a trace of slow flame can burn and spread to an unstoppable place.

There were rumors in the army, and the criticism of the sergeant Yanmenguan was imminent. The generals of the Gyeonggi army were quite dissatisfied to hear that General Qin was biased towards the generals of Yanmen Pass.

These are all spread secretly, and the Qin Dynasty naturally did not know. And when the news arrived in Ye Yun's hands, he knew that the big thing was not good.

The palm wind tightened, and the note was turned into dust. When Yanmen was closed, Qin Chaoding clashed with the defenders, and according to the news, it was clearly provoked. If he is not wrong, it must have nothing to do with the people in the capital.

On the side of the capital, in the Gyeonggi army, in just a few months, someone came to the Gyeonggi army to buy the generals who had never accompanied the army. Whether it is given away by money, seduced by beauty, or even exchanged for power.

Among them, those who are willing to be used by people are naturally flat. If you don't want to be used by others, you will become a prisoner.

Some people of rank are embarrassed, not to mention those ordinary soldiers. Unless the Qin Dynasty comes back, there will never be a turning point in the overall situation of the Gyeonggi army.

Ye Yun's group of people came to understand that these people who were bribed became the doormen of the third prince. But he didn't understand why the emperor and the prince didn't care about it under the imperial city.

When all this is settled, won't the prince have absolutely no chance of winning? The emperor favors the third prince so much. Why is the power of the prince in the court very stable?

These are all things that Ye Yunyi still didn't understand.

However, the news this time made him vigilant. The last assassination was not successful, the housekeeper died, and the "Yuntai class" disappeared completely. The third prince will not be reconciled. This time, the Qin Dynasty has reached an impasse, afraid that it was exactly what he did.

There will be an accident in the Qin Dynasty at any time. If he is convicted, Qin Si will also be implicated. At the end of Yanmen, he can arrange someone to save it. As for Qin Si, if she wants to be safe, she must change her identity.

As long as she is no longer the daughter of the Qin Dynasty, but the daughter of his Fengyuan Houfu and the concubine of Ye Yunyi, she will be safe...

As soon as Ye Yun opened the window, there was no light in the dark night sky. The moonlight was smeared by thick clouds, and the stars were stained by the night. Under this dark night, Ye Yunyi's eyes also lost their glory.

When making up his mind, Ye Yun gently raised the corners of his lips. The cold wind around him could not shock Ye Yun's waves. He raised his hand and tied up the jade crown slightly tilted on his head again. The little uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He picked up his sword and jumped out of the room.

In the courtyard, Ye Yun raised his sword body and sprinkled it in the air. He stood as proud as a crane or as smooth as a cloud. The sword in his hand shone slightly between the ups and downs. Turning over and jumping up, his clothes raised, and Ye Yun made a silent sound in the air.

White clothes are as bright as a fairy. Ye Yun cut all the troubles in the sword. And these disturbances, with the sword wind swinging across the stone bridge, on the Nanfeng Pavilion, Qin Si, who had been sleepless all night, suffered from these eyes.

Qin Si's head was covered with black silk, and she looked at the sword dancer in the distance. Ye Yunyi has been restless these days. How could she not know? For dinner today, Ye Yun hurried back to his room. When he left, the glance was full of many emotions, which made Qin Si's heart numb. It was hard to sleep at night, and there was a sound outside the Qiushui Building. Qin Si opened the window and looked at it. It was really him.

In her eyes, Ye Yunyi will always be the light man. What can embarrass him must not be a trivial matter. I just hope that the trouble has nothing to do with the Qin family...
