After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 551 Is It Really Him?

After driving everyone away, Qian Jinhai came to a house in the backyard. The door was locked. He took out the key, opened the lock and pushed the door into the house. The people in the house heard the sound of the door opening and looked back at him.

"The opportunity is here, as long as we make ten mortars within ten days, you can get what you want."

The people in the room turned their heads slowly and looked at him in disbelief: "Are you lying to me?"

"How come? How could I lie to you? Who did I run for this day? It's not for you, you still doubt me?"

Qian Jinhai was immediately annoyed when he heard the other party's questioning, and shouted angrily at the man.

Seeing his fierce look, the suspicion in the other party's eyes disappeared, but it was replaced by embarrassment: "I can't do that much in ten days."

"That has to be done. What the emperor wants is attitude. If we try our best, he won't blame us if we can't do it."

Seeing that the other party no longer doubted himself, Qian Jinhai immediately brainwashed him again.

The officers and soldiers in the capital began to search house-to-house. Anyone who had iron utensils that had not been handed in would be fined as a coolie for [-] days, and even the kitchen knives for cooking had to be handed in.

Wan Yulin is busy making mortars here, and Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu are not idle in Mocheng. On the one hand, they are speeding up their recruitment, and on the other hand, they hurry up to make mortars.

They have iron ore, which is a unique resource. Xiao Zeyu brought Zhong Yong to the blacksmith shop every day. Now he is not alone, but also has a few loyal guards. With a large number of people, the output has tripled. Xiao Zeyu felt that he could make two mortars and ten shells in one day, which was not fast enough, so he often didn't go home until midnight.

Su Qing stays in her greenhouse when she has nothing to do. Pulling weeds and watering her is an endless task every day. Looking at the vegetables she grows with her own hands, she feels relaxed and happy. When it’s time for meals, she picks some vegetables in the greenhouse and cooks them back home. , Not only to eat by himself, but also to send people to deliver food to the wounded in the army.

Eating vegetables often will not lack vitamins, and it can also calm the anger in the hearts of soldiers.

The ten guards who followed her all turned into farmers, weeding and watering with the young lady, and now they know many vegetables that they didn't know before. Seeing that the tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and beans are all starting to bear fruit, it takes less than half a year. They will be able to eat in a month, and they are also very excited.

Following the young master's wife, I can eat fresh vegetables every day, and feel that I am richer than those dignitaries, and they can't eat such fresh vegetables.

This day, Su Qing was supporting the bean seedlings and pumpkin seedlings in the greenhouse. Only by letting them climb the vines would they grow faster. This work is not fast, and it can wear people's patience.

Su Qing needs such a job that can temper her patience, so as not to be impetuous and bad for the child in her stomach.

"Young Mistress, the messenger to Mo City has returned."

A sentry came to the shed to report to Su Qing. Su Qing stopped the movement of his hands when he heard it, and ordered the ten guards:
"You continue to plant seedlings."

Su Qing followed the sentinel who came to report the news and left the shed. She asked about the situation in detail on the way. When she heard that Qin Tie had disappeared, Su Qing's face darkened.

It really is him?

When Su Qing returned to the big tent, Xiao Zeyu had already received the letter and came back first. When he saw Su Qing entering the big tent, he walked over and held her hand to take care of her carefully.

"Have you heard the news?"

Seeing Xiao Zeyu's solemn expression, Su Qing asked him.

"Yes, Qin Tie left the city privately on the fifth day after we left, and never came back."

Xiao Zeyu nodded. He was really angry. The people he treated sincerely betrayed him repeatedly. How could he trust people in the future?
"Why? Didn't we tell the guards when we left? Qin Tie is not allowed to leave the city without permission."

"Hmph, Qin Tie forged a secret letter from me, saying that he had something to do in Los Angeles and asked him to go quickly, and there were soldiers to pick him up, so the guards believed it."

Xiao Zeyu was even angrier when he said it, which proved that Qin Tie had long colluded with the imperial court, forged a secret order while he and Su Qing were not in Mocheng, and took away a mortar along with him.

In other words, Wan Qingzhi used that mortar to attack Los Angeles.

"If that's the case, then Qin Tie can't stay."

Disappointment flashed in Su Qing's eyes. She respected Qin Tie a lot, but she was always on guard. She sent guards to watch him to prevent his betrayal. It was her negligence that Qin Tie was able to forge Shui Sheng's secret order.

The betrayer must die, otherwise there will be a butterfly effect, and others will think that there is no punishment for betrayal, and then it will not be a mess.

"My spies buried in the capital have sent a letter back, saying that the emperor has summoned several people recently, and one of them named Qian Jinhai is more suspicious. I suspect that this Qian Jinhai is Qin Tie."

Xiao Zeyu told Su Qing that he opened a restaurant and a brothel in the capital, all of which were used to collect information, and he could only fight in silence, he had to understand the opponent's dynamics.

He has already suffered the loss of fighting a war before, and he has learned a lot from a pitfall, so he began to pay attention to intelligence.

Restaurants and brothels are the places where dignitaries like to go. He opens all the most high-end ones with luxurious decoration. The girls are all the top brands bought in brothels everywhere. Without exception, these girls were once the daughters of former officials. They were exiled and killed, and the pretty girls were sold into brothels. They hated Wan Yulin as much as Xiao Zeyu.

Therefore, they are very loyal and hardworking. Anyway, they are already lowly prostitutes, so let's use their dilapidated bodies to avenge their parents and clansmen!
The information they sent was the most valuable. The emperor killed Qin Tianjian Sun Ji, and secretly summoned Qian Jinhai. These were all news from the girls.

They are unsung heroes!

Qian Jinhai who appeared suddenly, the time when the emperor summoned him happened to be when they sent Wan Qingzhi's head back to the capital, and happened to be after Qin Tie disappeared, so Xiao Zeyu suspected that Qian Jinhai was Qin Tie.

"I have already sent someone to assassinate him. I am afraid that Qin Tie has taught others the steps and drawings of how to make a mortar."

No matter how much Xiao Zeyu loves talents, he can't keep Qin Tie. He must die, but he is worried that Wan Yulin has already mastered the technology of making mortars. If that happens, his plan to win in weapons will fail.

"We can't wait any longer. Now it's not about fighting with weapons, but about who is faster. Send someone to deliver a message to Yeluchun, asking him to help us contain Wan Yulin's troops on the frontier. Let's go all out to attack the capital."

After listening to Xiao Zeyu's words, Su Qing made a decisive decision. Wan Yulin couldn't be given time to make mortars. That would be a disadvantage for head-to-head confrontation.

Xiao Zeyu nodded, his eyebrows were full of confidence and calmness:
"Qing'er is always able to communicate with my husband. I have sent people back to Mocheng and Jingshi Road to dispatch troops and generals. The soldiers and horses have not moved the food and grass first. In the past few months, I have been sending people to various cities to buy food. To prepare for the army, it will come in handy now, and I have sent someone to Yeluchun to deliver a letter, asking him to cooperate with us."

War is imminent!
