"Withdrawal?" Jiang Ning put down the food in his hands and listened to the news that Song Wan brought back.

"This Princess Jinzhi is really powerful. She withdrew right away..." Jiang Ning thought in her mind and couldn't help but click her tongue.

Song Wan sighed: "It's just that this area is surrounded. They are all in yellow clothes. They don't look like ordinary soldiers. I asked about it because of my connections. They are the soldiers and horses of the man named Lu Qinghou. What happened before and after?"

On the left and right, haha, there are a thousand soldiers and horses, our blacksmith shop is quite busy."

Jiang Ning was stunned, but could only smile bitterly. Song Wan's words had proved that this place had been exposed. As the stronghold of Jinling City's Jing'an Division, it had been exposed.

Jiang Ning pointed to the outside of the wall, and Qiangzi stood up and climbed out of the wall.

The only people in the hall were Zhou Yong and his wife, Jiang Ning, Lu Yutong, and Song Wan.

Lu Yutong originally ate in the house. Because of her special status, no one dared to neglect her, but Lu Yutong insisted on going with Jiang Ning. She would eat wherever Jiang Ning eats. In addition to helping Zhang with some work these days

Son, it was a job, how could Mrs. Zhang dare to let her do it? She couldn't be stubborn, so she had to let Lu Yutong watch from the side, occasionally handing something or something.

The rest of the time was spent studying Jiang Ning's so-called Hanyu Pinyin and vernacular writing. Jiang Ning said what he was saying now, and he always said what Zi said. Although he understood the general meaning, he did not write what he said every day in the book, and what he said in the book was not the same.

Apart from people who have gone to private schools, who can recognize it among ordinary people? Take the people in this courtyard as an example. Except for Zhou Yong and Song Wan who are also literate, the others are illiterate.

Write down the truth in a simple way and translate it according to Jiang Ning's words. Use the simplest words to explain the most basic truth. These words are marked with the so-called Chinese Pinyin. As long as you learn the Pinyin, you will know how to read it.

Able to understand the truth from the shallower to the deeper.

Instead of like now, old teachers in private schools can only teach Chinese characters, their pronunciation and meaning. Pinyin is simple and easy to understand, and covers a wider range of topics.

Lu Yutong was talented and intelligent, and she learned a rough idea in just a few days. Once a few people were free, she would ask them to learn Chinese Pinyin. She was a princess, and if she asked a few people to learn it, they would not dare not learn it, especially the Zhang family.

, already feeling that having the princess as her teacher was her lifelong blessing, she studied even harder, and even fell asleep at night.

It aroused everyone's envy, especially Mrs. Zhang. She was definitely not allowed to sit at the table with Zhou Yong during the previous meal. After Lu Yutong arrived, she and Jiang Ning disappeared, so they handed Mrs. Zhang over to sit down.

Around her, no one dared to say anything, and her identity and status had been greatly improved invisibly.

Everyone is very envious of Jiang Ning: "You are so young, you can actually get the princess. It's really amazing. The princess is still obedient, eh..."

"Since this place has been exposed, we will use a single line of communication in the future, and the level will be raised one level. There is no intelligence above level two, no contact is allowed, and silence will be maintained..."

"Uh... Young Master... Silence is..." Song Wan was stunned.

Jiang Ning explained: "Just don't contact me. This is a knowledge point. What I usually tell you is to use the simplest words to express the most meaning. This is the truth. The meaning of silence here is that in addition to collecting information, everyone also transmits information.

All activities must be canceled unless the above conditions are met, which is called silence."

Lu Yutong nodded as if he understood, but said in his heart: "You said it so lightly. If I ask you to learn my dialect and slang, you won't be able to learn it for a while, but what you said makes sense."

Jiang Ning continued: "I want to tell everyone to be extra careful and be prepared for a protracted war. The battle front is expected to be very long."

"Understood..." Song Wan nodded.

"Apart from our own people who know about Jing'an Division, who else knows about it?" Jiang Ning suddenly realized this problem. Sometimes a fortress is breached from within.

Zhou Yong frowned: "I have to think about this carefully. In addition to the second master and a few people here, there are... and..."

Two names appeared in Zhou Yong's mind, but they disappeared in a flash: "Damn it, why can't you remember it at the critical moment?"

But he didn't dare not tell the truth when facing Jiang Ning. After all, the person sitting next to Jiang Ning was Princess Changping. If something went wrong, even if he had a hundred heads, he wouldn't be able to chop her off.

"It should be, there should be, two..." Zhou Yong was silent for a moment, but he still said it: "But they are all his own, one seems to be the scout of the Ministry of War in Jinling, and the other is from the previous Tiger Army. The Tiger Army mobilized defense,

Now there should be only the Ministry of War."

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, the Ministry of War has a standing army of 200,000, and the number of scouts should be more than 10,000. How can a place as big as Jinling have only one scout? The Jingan Division has only been in the country for a few years, and now the number of scouts should be more than 10,000.

The scale is already like this, not to mention the deep-rooted military department. What is that person’s name? Do you know this place?”

"Others call him Shopkeeper Ge. He is the shopkeeper of a pawn shop in the east of the city. He only knows that I am in the north of the city. He probably doesn't know the specific location." Zhou Yong said.

"Don't use "should" in the future. The information must be confirmed, otherwise there will be big problems." Jiang Ning continued: "Wanting to go out now is a big problem. Both Ning Buhui and Fang Jinzhi already know about our relationship, so we just put it in the open.

, everything can continue as usual.”

"Then they will let us out?" Song Wandao said: "This is obviously a hostile force..."

Jiang Ning said: "They are just trapping us now. The matter of the princess here should have been exposed, but there are some things that Fang La may not know yet. Lu Qinghou's soldiers, haha, even Lu Qinghou can't decide on this matter."

, the one who can give the order can only be Fang La, he is staying behind, so don’t worry about this, just be careful in your actions, don’t deliberately flick your tail, and pass the news under his nose.”

Although Song Wan didn't quite understand why Jiang Ning was so sure, Jiang Ning was sure, so they could only give it a try first.

After dinner, Jiang Ning and Lu Yutong sat on the swing in the backyard. Lu Yutong raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, then looked at Jiang Ning, and expressed his doubts: "Why didn't they attack us?

Wouldn’t it be safer to catch them all?”

Jiang Ning chuckled: "I have also thought about it, wouldn't it be safer to hold it in my hand, but is Fang La 100% sure that he can overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Before Lu Yutong could answer, Jiang Ning continued: "No, no one is 100% sure of succeeding when they start an uprising. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, etc. were more powerful than Fang La at the beginning.

There are so many, but in the end? Isn’t it just a handful of loess? The most successful one is probably Zhu Wen. After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, five generations and ten

The people are in dire straits, and Fang La will also be thinking about how to go. The imperial troops have already arrived in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and they are only three to five days away from the Chuzhou front line. Once he fails, he needs a bargaining chip, and you are him.

He will not hold the bargaining chip in his hand unless he has to, because his ultimate goal is negotiation."

"negotiation?"

"Yes, the situation in the north is probably not much better. If there is a two-front war, the Great Xia Dynasty will not be able to bear it. So in order to seek stability, someone will definitely propose to appease Fang La, give him certain rights, and use Fang La to collect all those who threaten him.

The local forces are used by him, so there is no fight now. Both sides have their own agendas, and Fang La will not move if he can."
