Lu Yuan looked at their backs and thought to himself: The Ministry of War personally led people out to chase the men in black? Could it be that some documents from the Ministry of War were stolen?

He was about to lead the horse away when he heard some noise coming from the alley. He raised his eyes suspiciously, "Who?"

No one answered, and even the voices fell silent.

The sky was dark, and the moonlight could not illuminate the alley. Lu Yuan carefully brought his sword with him, held the hilt of the sword, and entered slowly.

In the darkness, someone suddenly jumped out. Lu Yuan sidestepped and grabbed the other person's wrist with one hand and pulled him back. The person broke free like a dragon, but Lu Yuan's grip was tight and he took off the finger from the other person's hand.

He touched the engraved words on the ring finger and found it somewhat familiar. He hurriedly raised it and looked at it under the moonlight. Sure enough, it was... He looked at the figure of the man in black again and exclaimed: "You..."

Yu Wenhao was woken up in the middle of the night and told that a case had occurred at the Ministry of War.

Someone sneaked into the secret vault of the Ministry of War at night and stole the weapon plans sent by Da Zhou.

This weapon map was sent over by Chen Jingting, the great general of the Zhou Dynasty. Less than a day after arriving at the military headquarters, thieves took notice of it and sneaked into the military headquarters in the dark night to steal it.

Yu Wenhao was furious. This weapon diagram was a newly developed weapon by the Great Zhou Dynasty. It contained structural diagrams of chariots and cannons using gunpowder, so it was placed in the secret vault of the Ministry of War. He didn't even have time to take a look at it.

was stolen.

The most important thing is that if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.

Yu Wenhao immediately cordoned off the whole city and led people to chase him.

Mr. Yang, a member of the Ministry of War, said that he had a fight with a man in black and the other man's shoulder was injured. Therefore, Yu Wenhao also sent people to major hospitals in Beijing to say hello. If anyone comes to buy trauma medicine, report it to the official immediately.

.

When there was no news until dawn tomorrow, Yu Wenhao continued the search with his people, and he and the Ministry of War Shangshui went into the palace to report to Emperor Ming Yuan.

When Emperor Ming Yuan heard that the military map had been stolen, he became furious and issued a stern order to recover the military map and find out the identity of the person who stole it.

Not even Emperor Ming Yuan had to take a look at the military map sent by Dazhou. He originally wanted to wait until his health got better before asking Duke Xiaoyao and his chief assistant to look at it together with officials from the Construction Department. He never expected that it would be stolen.

?

He had finally managed to maintain his mood, but now he was on the verge of collapse. Knowing that the matter was of great importance, he sternly ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to retrieve the military map within two days.

For two days in a row, Yu Wenhao checked all major inns, residences, temples, and any possible hiding places one by one.

For two consecutive days, Yu Wenhao was so exhausted that he couldn't even think about eating or drinking water. Naturally, he couldn't think about returning home.

But after two days, there was no news at all.

Yu Wenhao did not give up. While tracing, he had already reported to Emperor Ming Yuan. He prepared for the worst and had someone personally send a letter to General Jingting to ask for another military map.

The Northern Tang Dynasty had negotiated with Dazhou before. After Dazhou's weapons were developed and tested and found to be feasible, they would send military maps.

Now that the military map has been sent, it means that the research and development of the Great Zhou Dynasty is successful, so the Northern Tang Dynasty must also hurry up and manufacture this kind of weapons and chariots.

Half of Emperor Ming Yuan's plans for this year are focused on weapons manufacturing.

Only when national defense is strong can we talk about domestic development.
