After not sleeping all night, Lin Ye rushed back to Qi Barracks before the sky fully dawned. Although he was now the commander-in-chief, there was still Feng Xiu who was watching him all the time.
At first, Lin Ye thought that someone like Feng Xiu was an important chess piece in Xie Yelan's hands.
Later, Lin Ye woke up and realized that even Qi Barracks was not important to Xie Yelan. How could Xie Yelan care about a mere Feng Xiu?
Lin Ye even felt that Xie Yelan wished Feng Xiu would die.
Because Lin Ye now somewhat believed that Feng Xiu and the others were really selected by the Ministry of War.
Lin Ye swept in from outside the courtyard wall. He naturally knew the patrol time of Qi Barracks. No one would pay attention here at this time, and he also knew it.
Pretending to inspect the camp early in the morning, Lin Ye watched as he walked.
Not long after leaving, I saw Feng Xiu in front.
That guy lives on crutches and seems to be waiting for him here specifically.
Feng Xiu was beaten very badly last time, but the person who attacked Feng Xiu had a better bottom line and didn't rush to beat him to death.
It looked extremely miserable, but in fact there were no internal injuries.
Feng Xiu's appearance could still be seen in embarrassment, with the number of bandages on his body being much greater than his clothes.
"General Lin."
Feng Xiu stopped Lin Ye: "What are you doing?"
Lin Ye: "Let's take a look around."
Feng Xiu: "Stop pretending. I went to your tent to look for you last night. You weren't there. I didn't go back all night."
Lin Ye looked at this man who was covered in wounds and strong, and couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.
Feng Xiudao: "You left the military camp secretly last night, and I saw you when you jumped over the wall just now."
Lin Ye: "Did you see me when I jumped over the wall?"
Feng Xiu: "That's not true."
Lin Ye: "Well, that's good."
After saying that, she continued to walk forward. Feng Xiu took a step across with a cane and stopped Lin Ye: "Just leaving like this?"
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Because Lin Ye snorted, Feng Xiu subconsciously wanted to move back. He said, "You still want to hit me?"
Lin Ye: "Where is the word "return"?"
Feng Xiu: "You really think I can't guess that you were the one who attacked me? In the entire Qi army camp, who else can beat me except you?!"
Lin Ye: "Don't blackmail people."
Feng Xiu: "Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you."
Lin Ye thought, am I acting nervous now?
Look at Feng Xiu again, the hand holding the cane is tightly grasped, probably always ready to knock over the forest leaves with the cane.
Lin Ye: "Let's talk."
Feng Xiu looked around. This was the supply camp. It was surrounded by fodder and supplies. It was indeed a relatively private place.
"I want to ask General Lin something."
"ask."
"General Lin, do you feel that there shouldn't be such a conflict between you and me? If nothing unexpected happens, General Lin should be able to accept being the deputy general of the Qi Barracks, right?"
Lin Ye: "I don't accept it now."
Feng Xiu said: "Yes, you are already the commander-in-chief."
Lin Ye said: "I'm not good at chatting. If you have thought about it and are sure you want to chat with me, I would be willing."
In the distance, Chen Weiwei was taking a walk after morning exercise. Passing by, she saw Lin Ye and Feng Xiu standing face to face from a distance.
When Chen Weiwei saw this scene, his eyes changed slightly.
He was a little curious about what two people so opposite could talk about.
But at this moment, a team suddenly came to the gate of the camp. They seemed to be people from the city lord's palace.
A general of this level, if placed in the frontier army, can already lead an army alone.
But in the city lord's mansion, you can only bring some guards and obey the city lord's orders. "General Lin."
The fourth-grade military general smiled and said: "I am a military attache in the city lord's palace. My name is Xiu Wanren."
Lin Ye said after the military salute: "I have never seen a general before."
Xiu Wanren said: "Isn't this the first time I've seen you?"
He looked Lin Ye up and down: "General Lin, go change a set of clothes. You and I are going to Beiye Prince's Mansion."
Lin Ye: "Going now?"
Xiu Wanren: "Go now."
People from the City Lord's Mansion suddenly wanted to go to Beiye Prince's Mansion, and they had to take him with them. Lin Ye felt that there was probably nothing good going on in this.
After changing into the clothes of General Qi Barracks, Lin Ye followed Xiu Wanren out of the camp. Along the way, Xiu Wanren and Lin Ye chatted for a few topics. This man's attitude was quite gentle and kind.
Arriving outside the gate of Prince Beiye's Mansion, Lin Ye immediately saw the old farmer squatting in the field to tidy up the vegetable patch.
Thinking of the unruly general in the martial arts hall, Lin Ye had to be wary of such a person.
The big shots in Yunzhou City seem to be unfathomable.
Not to mention Beiye King Tuoba Lie, even Lord Jin Sheng and Jin seemed to be hiding huge secrets.
Xiu Wanren and Lin Ye dismounted their horses at the same time and walked forward to perform a military salute.
"Here he comes."
Tuoba Lie shook off the dirt on his hands and said with a hint of guilt: "I didn't expect the Crown Prince to send someone here so quickly. It would be rude."
He pointed to the palace: "Let's talk while we walk."
After walking and talking all the way, Lin Ye knew what had happened.
The neighboring country of Dayu in the northern frontier is called Dongbo, and the neighboring country outside the northeastern frontier is called Guzhu.
Dongbo and Guzhu have been on good terms with Dayu for more than ten years and have gained many benefits from Dayu. They have become Dayu's northern barrier.
Dayu allocates a large amount of supplies to these two small countries every year, which of course also includes a lot of sophisticated armor and equipment.
Many talented people will also be selected to go to these two countries to help train the army and improve their combat effectiveness.
Especially Dongbo Country, sandwiched between the two great powers Dayu and Loufan, had to make a choice.
In the past, Dongbo was a vassal state of Lou Fan, so every time Lou Fan's army went south, they could directly reach the Dayu border.
Later, because Lou Fan's oppression of Dongbo was too harsh, in order to ensure that Dongbo would not turn towards Dayu, he even poisoned the old emperor Dongbo who was already somewhat shaken.
I thought it was done flawlessly, but it turned out to be a flaw. Naturally, Dongbo couldn't bear this kind of hatred anymore.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he sent envoys to Dayu Palace to meet Emperor Jade and expressed his willingness to submit his vassal status to Dayu.
Because of this incident, Lou Fan was angered. Lou Fan dispatched his army south to destroy Dongbo first and then attack Dayu.
The new emperor of Dongbo Kingdom immediately asked Emperor Yu for help, and Emperor Yu gave an order to dispatch two border troops who were extremely skilled in fighting to go north.
One is the Beiye Army led by General Tuoba Lie, and the other is the Cowardly Army led by General Liu Jigong.
After that battle, although Dongbo was seriously injured, with the support of Dayu, he repelled Lou Fan's army.
Since then, the relationship between Dongbo and Dayu has become stronger.
This time, Dongbo Emperor Minglun got a treasure, so he sent people to Dayu to present it to Emperor Yu.
After getting the news, the crown prince Xie Yelan immediately discussed with King Beiye and sent people to meet him outside the northern border.
What the Crown Prince meant was that, on the surface, the Beiye Army would select a team to go over, but for the sake of safety, the City Lord's Mansion would select another group of people to protect it secretly.
In the past, the delegations from Dongbo had not come with such a large formation, so it can be concluded that that treasure is really extremely important.
Tuoba Lie agreed to Xie Yelan's proposal. He selected a general with 500 warriors to greet him and escort him along the way.
People selected by the city lord's palace provide support secretly.
Just as he was talking, Lin Ye saw a familiar figure coming out of the city lord's mansion.
That light yellow dress, how could it be someone else.
Still more than ten feet away, Tuoba Yunxi waved to Lin Ye. Lin Ye looked at Tuoba Lie, and Tuoba Lie smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Lin Ye ran to Tuoba Yunxi and asked, "What's wrong, aunt?"
Tuoba Yunxi said: "If Xie Yelan asks you to go to meet the Dongbo delegation outside Beijiang, you can't go."
Lin Ye: "If you disobey the order, you will be beheaded."
Tuoba Yunxi: "If I take care of you, nothing will happen to you."
Lin Ye asked: "Is it dangerous?"
Tuoba Yunxi waved her hand, and the followers behind her immediately retreated into the distance.
Tuoba Yunxi said: "Since the year before last, Emperor Jade has often felt unwell. It is said that he will have heart and mouth pain every once in a while."
"After searching many famous doctors, I came up with a prescription. Only by using the unique snow dragon heart from Dongbo as a medicine and boiling the elixir can the cure be cured."
Lin Ye said: "Is this the Snow Dragon Heart sent by the Dongbo Mission?"
Tuoba Yunxi said: "Yes."
Lin Ye: "What is a snow dragon?"
Tuoba Yunxi did not expect that what this silly boy cared about at this time was not the evil intention and danger hidden in it, but actually asking what the snow dragon was.
But she still explained patiently: "There is a snow mountain in Dongbo called Tiangong Mountain. There is a unique beast in the mountain. It is said that the largest one is several feet long and extremely ferocious. It has a dragon head, a lizard body, a giant tail, and is invulnerable.
Invulnerable to water and fire, he is a snow dragon."
Lin Ye thought for a while and realized that it probably looked like a crocodile, but it was just a crocodile living in the snow-capped mountains.
Tuoba Yunxi said, "Xie Yelan must have no good intentions for letting you go."
Lin Ye: "But if I don't go, he won't have any good intentions."
Tuoba Yunxi: "I'll find a way."
Lin Ye nodded: "Listen to my aunt."
Tuoba Yunxi asked him to go back. No matter what Tuoba Lie said, he would agree first and she would find a way to stop it.
When Tuoba Lie saw Lin Ye coming back, he smiled and said, "I have agreed to the prince's proposal. You go back and make preparations. You will be traveling in two days."
Lin Ye said: "Follow your orders."
Tuoba Lie looked at Xiu Wanren and said, "General Xiu, please go back and resurrect the prince first. General Lin and I will have a few more private matters."
Xiu Wanren leaned over to salute, glanced at Lin Ye, and then left.
Tuoba Lie said as he walked: "My girl, won't you let me go?"
Lin Ye said: "Yes."
Tuoba Lie said: "Do you think you should go or not?"
Lin Ye: "The general's military orders are like mountains."
"Hahahahaha."
Tuoba Lie smiled and said: "No wonder she always says you are sensible. It is rare to be so good at talking."
Lin Yexin said, General, you got it wrong.
Tuoba Lie said: "She must have told you what the treasure is."
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes."
Tuoba Lie said: "This trip must be dangerous. It is understandable that she does not want you to go. Lou Fan must have a large number of spies in Dongbo. They will try their best to snatch things away. In fact, it is not just Dongbo.
There are also a large number of Lou Fan's spies in Northern Xinjiang."
He looked at Lin Ye: "So you can imagine the danger of this trip."
Without waiting for Lin Ye to speak, he continued: "But if a man shrinks from everything, how can he achieve great achievements?"
He raised his hand and patted Lin Ye's shoulder: "My sister thinks you will be able to get ahead, but I don't want you to get ahead just relying on her."
Lin Ye said: "The general's words are far away. I went outside the northern border to obey the general's military order."
Tuoba Lie burst out laughing.
"She said she wanted you to go to Shangwuyuan, but you said she wasn't qualified enough so she wouldn't go."
Tuoba Lie: "After this trip, things have been done well. The emperor knows your name, who dares to say that you are not qualified?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Ye stood there and looked at the back of the general. He felt that every word of the general's words was referring to his aunt, but not everything he mentioned was about his aunt.
Especially that sentence, the emperor knows your name...
The emperor knew his name, and of course the emperor also knew that he was the adopted son of Liu Jigong's widow.
