The person who looked up was Cui Jiancheng.

Could it be that he was the one who was the oriole? Could it be that the few people who were escorted by them, dressed in black clothes and covered their heads with black cloth bags?

I suddenly became a little nervous.

My breathing became nervous, but Han Ruoshi, who was standing beside him, saw that the person who looked up was Cui Jiancheng, and she couldn't wait to show a satisfied smile on her face. She nodded slightly to the bottom, and Cui Jiancheng also looked at her, but because Pei Yuanxiu was next to her, she didn't say much.

He said to the upstairs: "Young Master, we have caught the spy."

"oh……"

Pei Yuanxiu looked at the masked men in black, but his expression was not relaxed. He just nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Do not dare to say hardship when doing things for the young master."

I thought he would go down to check and interrogate immediately, but Pei Yuanxiu looked at the people below calmly, and then ordered: "Take them all down and lock them up."

Cui Jiancheng was stunned.

Han Ruoshi was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Husband, don't you interrogate them now?"

Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at her and then looked into the distance. Although Cui Jiancheng had captured the spy now, the war was still there outside Cangzhou City in the distance, and the remaining people were still siegeing the city.

He said, "Let's talk about it later."

Han Ruoshi showed a look of panic on her face. She was obviously sure who was arrested by Cui Jiancheng. This place was the Song family. If those people colluded with confessions after being imprisoned, or the Song family simply rushed to jump over the wall, then all their efforts would be wasted. So she said: "Husband, it's a big deal. These people are spies who destroy our plans. If they are imprisoned like this, I'm afraid that people will not accept it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Jianzhen carved it downstairs and said, "Yes, young master, we followed all the way and went through a lot of hardships to catch these spies. If we just kept in custody like this, what if some people—" he said, looking at Old Lady Zhang who was standing behind me, sneered, and then said, "If some people intend to cover up, then our efforts tonight will be in vain."

Pei Yuanxiu's eyelashes lowered, and his eyes were faint: "What do you mean is I will cover them up?"

Cui Jianzhen lowered his head: "I dare not!"

“…”

"I am just thinking about the great cause of the young master. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole. Such people cannot tolerate them! Such people must not be left by the young master!"

“…”

"Stay one more day and you will get a little more danger."

Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly and did not say anything. Han Ruoshi stepped forward, gently climbed on Pei Yuanxiu's shoulder with both hands, and said softly: "Yes, Yuanxiu, Mr. Cui is right. For your great cause, you can't leave such a person by your side. If you have a long night and dreams, it's better to solve it in one go and eliminate future troubles forever."

Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at her, was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay."

After saying that, he said to the following: "Go ahead."

A happy smile appeared on Han Ruoshi's face, and Cui Jiancheng below was also ecstatic and immediately called people to the hall in front. I stood aside and kept pursing my lips. At this time, I saw them all starting to walk down, and Old Mrs. Zhang beside me seemed to be going down, and she turned to look at me hesitantly. She grabbed my hand and gently clamped it under her arm.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go down and take a look."

"...Well. Old lady, I will help you."

Our group slowly went down the stairs and walked to the hall in front. More people gathered here and more lanterns and torches were lit. For a moment, this originally dark and quiet night suddenly became brighter. Not only did the Cui family father and son and the people they brought, but also Pei Yuanxiu's subordinates and some servants of the Song family gathered over, and all their eyes were staring at the masked people in black. This posture turned into a public trial posture.

Soon, Choi Tae rushed in from outside with his men.

He had a happy look on his face, and as soon as he walked in, he said to Pei Yuan's practice ceremony: "Young Master, I heard that the spy has been caught."

Pei Yuanxiu said "yes".

Cui Tae smiled and said, "Congratulations to the young master, you can rest assured from now on!"

Pei Yuanxiu still didn't have much joyful expression, just looked at him: "Mr. Cui is back so soon? What's the offensive ahead?"

Choi Tae was stunned for a moment before saying, "Uh... I heard that the spy was caught, so I came back immediately to confirm. The offensive ahead... Uh, it's still stalemate."

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes were faint and he didn't say anything.

But at this time, Old Mrs. Zhang began to ask privately: "Where is my son? Where are my grandson? Where are they?"

The people around them didn't know what to say for a moment.

This place is clearly the lobby of the Song family, but the people who came here were Cui Tai and his son and Pei Yuanxiu. None of them were named Song. This situation inevitably made people feel like they were overshadowing the main point; and the even more uneasy people, since everyone knows that they were arresting spies tonight and the people arrested were from the Cui family, then the person who was arrested might be-

So, everyone doesn't know how to answer this old lady.

I thought about it and said, "Since this is the place of the Song family, shouldn't it be too late to try these people after the Song family comes back?"

"Haha," Han Ruoshi laughed as soon as I finished speaking, and gently ticked me with the corners of her eyes, saying, "Ms. Yan is kind-hearted and wants to wait for the Song family to come back. What I am afraid is that if we can't wait for them to come back, they will have come back long ago."

This sentence is already very obvious.

But Pei Yuanxiu was still much more restrained after all, and said in a deep voice: "If you have a poem, don't talk nonsense."

Han Ruoshi immediately said: "Yes."

He slowly walked to a chair in front of him and sat down, then nodded to the people around him, and everyone sat down one after another. I helped Old Lady Zhang sit on his hands, watching Cui Jiancheng push those people to the center of the lobby, but the few people remained silent and their hands were tied behind him.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pei Yuanxiu said: "Let me talk about it first, how did you catch these people?"

Cui Jiancheng hurriedly got up and walked to the center of the lobby, saying, "Before I was at the bottom of the city, I suspected that someone would secretly play the same song as the defenders in Cangzhou City. Tonight, I kept paying attention to whether anyone only did superficial work when siegeing the city. As a result, I really found it."

"Oh? What are they doing?"

"According to the previous plan, the lower part is responsible for assisting on the east side of the city gate, and commanding the siege next to the city. At the same time, I noticed that some people secretly retreated from their siege team and secretly passed to a place around the east corner of the city wall. So, the lower part is secretly following."

When I heard this, my heart suddenly felt a little sad.

However, there was no expression on my face. I just looked at Pei Yuanxiu carefully, his brows were slightly locked, and he looked at Cui Jiancheng with concentration.

"Then what?"

"Then, when we were down and past, the corner was originally not within the scope of our siege, and there were no guards. It was pitch black. But tonight I saw some torches flashing and figures shaking. I suspected that someone was acting there."

"What do they do?"

"I saw several food trucks parked there."

"The truck that transports the grain?"

"That's right!"

Cui Jiancheng said, his eyes flashing at Han Ruoshi. Han Ruoshi immediately leaned towards Pei Yuanxiu and said, "Sure enough, Yuanxiu, there is a reason why Cangzhou City cannot be captured for so long. So many solid cities have been taken down before, how could a small Cangzhou City last for so long without any assistance? It turned out that someone secretly sent food in it."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and a voice said loudly: "What the hell is going on? Why are you all here?"

"Get out of here, I want to see the young master!"

...

Everyone looked up and found that it was Song Huaiyi, wearing armor and strode from outside with a fierce look.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Pei Yuanxiu and his wife and Cui Tai and his son sitting here in the brightly lit lobby. There were several people wearing black clothes and covering their heads standing in the center of the lobby. He was stunned and frowned: "What's going on?"

When Choi Tae saw him, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The expression on Song Huaiyi's face immediately changed from confusion to anger, pointing at them: "You--"

"My son, my son!"

Before he finished speaking, Old Lady Zhang got up first. I was worried that the old man would fall, so I hurriedly followed her with one hand to hold her arm. When Song Huaiyi saw her mother, she didn't bother to get angry. She hurriedly reached out to support the old Lady and said anxiously: "Why are your mother here too? Shouldn't you have rested long ago?"

"My son, I was so scared that I was so frightened by my mother. I kept making noises all over the night, and I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you."

"Mother……"

"It's fine if you can't find you, why are there so many strangers coming to our family, but none of our people have disappeared? Ah? What's going on?"

“…”

"What the hell are they going to do?"

The old lady spoke tremblingly, and as she spoke, she seemed like an ordinary old man who was frightened by a robber who broke into the house and was so scared that she was so scared that she felt even more distressed. She hurriedly helped her sit on the chair beside her and whispered: "My son is unfilial, and she has scared her mother again."

He comforted him for a long time and finally calmed down Old Lady Zhang.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu who was sitting in the main seat. He looked at the surrounding situation again, and then said, "Young Master, what's going on?"

Pei Yuanxiu was somewhat uneasy and guilty about the attitude and those words of Mrs. Zhang just now, but he couldn't show too much, so he said slowly: "Something happened tonight. I originally planned to make some mistakes, but I didn't expect that it would disturb the old man's rest. I also asked Mr. Song and Mrs. Song to forgive me. After this matter, I will apologize to the old man."

When Song Huaiyi heard him say this and said sincerely, he couldn't worry about this matter anymore.

However, not saying anything about Mrs. Zhang does not mean that there is no need to mention anything else. Song Huaiyi's eyes fell on the Cui family's father and son, and said with a little resentment: "This matter can be not mentioned for the time being, but why did the offensive tonight suddenly stop?"

“…”

"Young Master, tonight's attack has been planned in detail!"

“…”

"When I was sieging the city, the assists from both sides suddenly stopped. It turned out that Cui Tai and your son, you actually retreated and fled back in the battle? Tonight, we could have taken down Cangzhou City in one fell swoop, now--"

He was so angry that his breathing was uneven, but Cui Tai got up and walked to him, patting his shoulder intimately: "I know that you have worked hard and made great contributions. If the siege tonight is really successful, this title will definitely be yours. However, no matter how hard we siege the city is, it is useless. If someone sieges the city, even if it is captured, it will not be able to defend it."

"Eat inside and out?"

Song Huaiyi immediately frowned: "Who are you talking about?"

"I said to you-don't you understand?"

"What's the meaning?"

Cui Tae laughed loudly, and Cui Jiancheng also sneered and said, "Don't pretend to be confused anymore. We two families will jointly attack the city, but a small Cangzhou City is surrounded and attacked, and it will not be taken down for such a long time. If it weren't for the spy in the middle who secretly transported food to Cangzhou City and ensuring that the people in the city will not starve to death, would we be so embarrassed?"
