After confirming that the news had reached the Tata'er Department, Xiao Yunyue began to carefully plan the next thing. Meng Shu, like Zhang Zhao, is a master at spying on intelligence.

There are many spies outside the pass in Jinyun City, and naturally there are people from Dayan lurking in the Tata'er tribe.

A few years ago, Rouran even had spies who could sneak into the capital in an attempt to instigate the princes to fight with each other. However, Emperor Jingyuan immediately established a prince, and the East Palace had a master who was both direct and long-term, so the public turmoil quickly disappeared.

After Xiao Yunyue finished handling the military affairs on his desk today, he would ride his horse to inspect the military camp.

The new crossbows sent from the capital required the sixteen riders to adapt to them, and they also had to experiment with more lethal formations for them.

Although Xiao Yunyue tacitly allowed the spies to spread the news, this new weapon was obviously top secret, so Xiao Yunyue still kept the news very tight to the outside world.

The spies thought this was information they had obtained at the risk of beheading their entire family, so they naturally believed it.

After all, according to Xiao Yunyue's past style, even if there was no evidence to kill them, as long as Xiao Yunyue got wind of it, they would have been knocked on the door by the Sixteenth Cavalry, and then arrested and kept in prison.

Who would have thought that he would be so bold as to take the initiative to leak the news to them?

Xiao Yunyue had just mounted his horse when he saw Nanguan rushing towards him, as if he was afraid that he had already left. Behind him, there was a middle-aged man, who didn't look like someone from Jinyun City.

"Master." Nanguan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Yunyue hadn't left yet. Seeing Xiao Yunyue's confused eyes, he stepped aside and let the man behind him say, "This is Er Niangzi's manager at Jizhou Trading Company. He has brought Er Niangzi's letter."

When Xiao Yunyue heard this, he got off his horse and said to the two people, "Come to my study."

As soon as Ji Huaiyuan entered Xiao Yunyue's study, he took out the personal letter that Yuan Miaoyi had given him to convey, which was printed with Yuan Miaoyi's unique fire paint.

In addition, there are documents that can prove his identity and a seal that symbolizes the Yuan family business. These things are enough to prove that he is not a spy, but a real business manager.

Xiao Yunyue took the letter and resisted the urge to open it immediately before saying: "You came all the way from Shengjing. Thank you for your hard work, Manager Ji. Do you want me to send someone to take you back to Jizhou?"

Ji Huaiyuan said quickly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. You are too polite, Mr. Marquis. This is just a matter for me." After saying that, he continued: "Master Marquis is busy with military affairs, so I will keep the story short."

Seeing Xiao Yunyue nodded and said: "The Second Lady ordered me to stay by your side until the war ends. The Second Lady said that I have already explained the specific matters to you in the letter."

How could Yuan Miaoyi send the steward of her firm to him so smoothly?

Although Xiao Yunyue had some doubts in his heart, he still said: "In that case, Nanguan, please arrange a place for Manager Ji to live in the house." After saying that, he looked at Nanguan again.

Nanguan on the side clasped his fists and accepted the order. He understood what his master meant.

Although the things Ji Huaiyuan brought were enough to prove his identity, this was Jinyun City, and Xiao Yunyue had to be cautious. There are sixteen riders guarding the Hou Mansion. No matter what the reason is, it is much safer here than outside.

Ji Huaiyuan can become the steward of the entire border area of ​​the Yuan family business, so he is naturally a good person. He can understand Xiao Yunyue's concerns.

Besides, when he met Yuan Miaoyi in Shengjing. Yuan Miaoyi had told him to fully obey Xiao Yunyue's instructions, so it was natural for him to follow Nanguan now.

Ji Huaiyuan was promoted personally by Yuan Miaoyi after taking over the business firm left by Pei Linlang, and he could be said to be her most trusted confidant. As for Yuan Miaoyi's actions and personality, Ji Huaiyuan even knew a lot better than Mrs. Yuan Tai.

She is meticulous in her actions and possesses pearls of wisdom. She is by no means an ordinary woman. Therefore, Ji Huaiyuan was not surprised when he heard in Shengjing that Yuan Miaoyi asked him to go to Jinyun City and cooperate with the young marquis of Pingyang. Ji Huaiyuan didn't show any fuss over the close relationship with Xiao Yunyue revealed in Yuan Miaoyi's words.

He is calm and calm in situations, which is one of the reasons why Yuan Miaoyi promoted Ji Huaiyuan.

Ji Huaiyuan still remembered that when he took the order, Yuan Miaoyi was taking care of the two pots of orchid in the room. When Ji Huaiyuan talked to him, he was still as calm and cold as when Ji Huaiyuan first met her, as if what she was explaining was not a matter of life and death, but just an ordinary matter in a business.

She is wealthy but does not like extravagance. The sky-blue dress and the white jade hairpin on her head make her as clear and beautiful as the orchid grass she is tending in her hands.

Yuan Miaoyi looked at him with a smile and said: "The chief steward in Beijing is old, and I prefer you to come to Beijing to take his place. Huaiyuan, don't let me down."

The chief steward in Beijing is in charge of all the trading firms under Yuan Miaoyi, and the task assigned to him this time is obviously Yuan Miaoyi's final test for him.

Xiao Yunyue opened the long-awaited letter. In the letter, Yuan Miaoyi did not mention Fan Ruyi again, but just asked about Xiao Yunyue's safety as usual.

As usual, the second page explains why she asked Ji Huaiyuan to come to Jinyuncheng.

Xiao Yunyue had known that Yuan Miaoyi's men had half of the dowry left by Pei Linlang, and since the Pei family was wealthy, the dowry must be quite large. But what he didn't expect was that more than half of the trading firms in Jizhou were under Yuan Miaoyi.

Of course, this includes not only the things Pei Linlang gave her, but also other industries that Yuan Miaoyi has managed and developed over the years.

And these trading houses all have their own caravans, and almost all the famous caravans in the border states have some trace of Yuan Miaoyi behind them.

Emperor Jingyuan had previously implemented the New Deal and opened border markets. And the barbarians on the grassland don't just burn, kill and loot. After all, Dayan's border troops are not vegetarians. To provoke the border troops for a small thing, it is better to rely on these caravans to buy what they want.

Therefore, the large tribes outside the customs will also give these caravans a certain degree of courtesy and convenience, because they will bring things that the tribes need.

After all, the big tribes have no shortage of gold, silver and gems. Even if they are on guard against each other inside and outside the customs, everyone still has to eat.

When Xiao Yunyue saw this, he immediately understood the reason why Yuan Miaoyi sent the chief executives in charge of these trading companies to his hands, and his heart felt warm.

It is common for caravans to travel back and forth between the customs and outside the customs. Although Xiao Yunyue has spies who specialize in spying on military affairs, caravans that are not easily noticeable can sometimes obtain some unexpected information from the accidental laxity of the tribesmen outside the customs.

When these caravans are spread out, they form a secret intelligence network.

Being able to hand all of this into Xiao Yunyue's hands represents Yuan Miaoyi's ultimate trust in him. Many of these properties, outsiders would never imagine having anything to do with Yuan Miaoyi.

Although she was not well versed in military affairs and was far away in Shengjing's boudoir, she never thought of just waiting silently for Xiao Yunyue's victory.

Yuan Miaoyi can always find a way to help him, whether it's the empathy with him, the wisdom to solve his troubles, or the caravan that is currently entrusted to him. Although she can't hold the bow and ride the horse, she can go to the battlefield with him. , but she is not a delicate dodder flower.

No matter where and when, Yuan Miaoyi is always by his side. (End of chapter)
