I only stayed for a long time. Speaking of this, even if Qinghan and I immediately advised Pei Yuanhao to search in the city, we could not trap him.

Although I didn't really hope to catch him, I heard that he had left, and it was inevitable that it would be a little depressed. I sighed lightly. Pei Yuanhao didn't feel any depressed, and just said calmly: "So, we must also set off quickly. Let's leave early tomorrow morning, you-"

He said, looking at me: "You go back and rest as soon as possible."

"yes."

After saying that, he got up and walked out, but did not close the door, and there were guards standing outside.

I turned around and looked at Qinghan, and saw him leaning against the head of the bed with a thoughtful expression on his face. I walked to the bed and looked at him: "I heard that Yao Lao came here to give you an injection today. Is it better now?"

He looked up at me: "It's okay."

"Even if there is something wrong, you won't tell me, but I'll tell you that you are not just in poor health right now. If there is really something wrong, you must say it out."

"I see."

"Then, what do you think about Xie Feng-"

Before I finished speaking, he blinked and looked up at me: "What are you going to say to me during the day today?"

I didn't expect that he had such a good memory and still remembered what he hadn't finished saying, so I told him my guess, thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I have this guess in my mind. Xie Feng only stayed in Fengxiang City for half a day. If others were afraid they wouldn't be able to do anything for half a day, but for someone like him, half a day is enough."

“…”

"The only thing I can't understand now is that armor."

“…”

"It seems like suddenly, everyone was staring at the armor. What's the strange thing about it?"

"Actually, I originally thought that if the emperor was not in a hurry to leave, I wanted to try to find the young man in the city and ask him again."

"He is probably not that easy to find, and he is not so easy to ask if he finds it. By the way, he turned to look at me: "You just went to the iron shop with Miaoyan. Is there anything going on?"

"No, either, it's just that after Miaoyan knew what happened during the day, she wanted to go over and see the old couple."

Qinghan smiled slightly and said softly: "She is like you."

I said, "But, Dad Hu told me another thing."

"What's up?"

"You told me before that Wen Fengxi said that the cost of this kind of chain mail is very high, and even ordinary generals may not be able to own it."

"yes."

"But Dad Hu told me today that the one who saved his ancestors wearing this armor was not a general, but an ordinary soldier."

"Average soldier?"

Qinghan opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at me: "This-"

I thought he wanted to say "How is this possible", but he still didn't say this to my solemn expression. I nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's true. I specially confirmed with Dad Hu. He said that it was their benefactor, so it's impossible to make a mistake in this matter."

"A normal soldier, have that set of chain mail?!"

Qinghan's breath was still full of incredibleness. He shook his head gently: "This, this is too unimaginable. Do you know how expensive this set of armor is? An ordinary soldier can own it - either he paid for it himself, but it is almost impossible. Which person who is useful in this wealth will become an ordinary pawn?"

"Then, what else is there?"

"..." He was silent for a moment and murmured: "Then, that's even more impossible."

I said, "Come and listen."

"..." He was silent for a long time, then looked up at me and said word by word: "There is an army with excellent equipment and sophistication-every soldier, every ordinary soldier, is equipped with such a chain mail."

“…”

A sentence immediately popped up in my mind—

How is that possible?!

It seemed that I read this sentence from my face, Qinghan nodded gently: "Yes, how is that possible?"

“…”

"Not to mention how much it costs to equip such an army, according to the age of Mr. Hu, his ancestors, that is, when your great-grandfather was ruled by the previous dynasty, was nearly a hundred years ago, but history books are still there, and all the events of the previous dynasty are recorded in the book. The existence of such an army cannot be recorded in those books at all."

"You haven't seen it?"

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I-I am in Jixian Palace. You know, I have not been able to help the teacher for a long time, so I was sent away."

“…”

Yes, at that time he did not serve in Jixian Hall for long, so he pretended to surrender to Shen Gongyi. Shortly after eradicating the power of the Shen family, he went south to recover Yangzhou. When Fu Badai began to lead the students to compile official history, he had completely left Jixian Hall, and naturally he read few books.

This time, my brows also tightened.

I said, "Today Zhesheng came to tell me that after he went back, he couldn't remember where he had seen records about the Longxi Army."

"……oh?"

"He and his brothers have always been following the teacher to compile official history in Jixian Hall. The emperor spent a lot of money there before. Jixian Hall included many books, you know, it should be very comprehensive. Zhesheng even went to ask the two junior brothers who were responsible for sorting out military records, but they had no impression."

“…”

Qinghan heard this and his eyebrows were twisted into a lump. He bit his lower lip and thought for a long time, and slowly said, "There is something strange about this."

“…”

"If it's just a past event, then it's over, but if that armor was really stolen by Xie Feng, he is heading northwest now, I think we will meet him in Longxi sooner or later."

“…”

"At that time, I don't know what the situation will be."

I thought about it and said, "He had hidden Chabixing before because he didn't know each other's strength. This time he didn't fool him so easily. Besides, no matter how high a person's ability is, I don't believe he can be worth thousands of troops."

Qinghan was silent for a while and said, "I'm not talking about this."

I was slightly stunned and looked up at him: "Oh?"

He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he slowly said, "Nangong Lizhu, Yao Lao, Pei Ningyuan, Xie Feng, you, me, and the emperor... We all have more or less impact on the current situation."
