Chapter 12 Deep background
"How is this going?"
Yan San's voice was somewhat cold, and suppressed anger could be heard in his words.
Lu Yunyi said in his heart, "Here they come", but did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked around at the increasing number of soldiers.
Yan San's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, knowing that there were too many people here and it was not suitable to talk about business.
He gave an order and walked towards the military tent.
The camp of more than a thousand people was not large, but Yan San's tent was very conspicuous, standing out among the other tents.
When Lu Yunyi saw this, he couldn't help but feel strange.
If he becomes a thousand-householder in the future, his military tent will certainly not be so conspicuous.
If it is so conspicuous, if someone comes to attack the camp, they don’t need to look for it, they can just rush towards this military tent.
The furnishings in the military tent are very simple, restrained but revealing luxury.
Especially the tiger skin spread on the chair, it looks very valuable.
There was also an incense burner placed in the corner of the military tent, in which some unknown incense was burning, which made the tent free of any peculiar smell and instead gave it a refreshing fragrance.
Judging from what was happening before his eyes, Lu Yunyi felt that Yan San must have been greedy!
Otherwise, how could a thousand households afford to buy tiger skin?
Just when Lu Yunyi wanted to take a look at the quality of the tiger skin, Yan San's figure blocked his view and sat on the chair!
He just snorted, threw the document casually on the table, and looked at the young centurion carefully.
Yan San knew that the arrogance of young people sometimes made them do some irrational things, so he did not hesitate to offend his superiors.
But logically speaking, the person in front of me was of extraordinary origin.
Mr. Lu should have already taught some of the rules in the officialdom and the military, but why did he make such an unwise move?
After thinking for a moment, Yan San took a deep breath and slowly asked:
"What did Yan Wujian do to deserve being convicted by you?"
"Reporting to the Lord, Yan Wujian drove a tiger to devour a wolf, slaughtered his colleagues, and was caught red-handed."
Lu Yunyi bowed in response and told everything that happened in the Naiman branch camp.
The atmosphere in the military tent became increasingly solemn, and Yan San clenched his fists, with flames flickering in his brows!
"audacious in the extreme!!"
"How audacious! To do such a thing in broad daylight, this crime must be unforgivable, unforgivable!"
Yan San's anger seemed to be uncontrollable, and he could only vent it by roaring.
But after waiting for a long time, he did not receive any dissuasion from Lu Yunyi, which made him feel irritated.
He glanced at it lightly, and saw Lu Yunyi standing there with a serious expression on his face.
There was no intention of begging for mercy at all, which made Yan San feel extremely embarrassed!
Often at this time, for his sake,
Lu Yunyi should have let out a loud shout, repeatedly saying that the crime was not severe enough and asked the lord to calm down.
After that, after a good talk between the two, the big thing was resolved and the matter was settled.
After taking a deep breath, Yan San had no choice but to speak:
"unambiguous evidence?"
Lu Yunyi nodded gently: "The evidence is irrefutable, with witnesses and evidence!"
There was a flash of anger in Yan San's eyes: "How are you going to deal with this?"
"Sir, I have already written down the disposition of him in the written military report."
Lu Yunyi said calmly, since you have made the choice, then stick to it.
In his eyes, the soldiers under his command were his primary targets.
What's more, Qianhu Yan San never offends anyone.
He is just a distant nephew, almost twenty years old and only a small flag bearer. I think he is not taken seriously.
No matter what choice Yan San made, he actually had no choice after Lu Yunyi made his choice.
But something unexpected happened to Lu Yunyi.
Yan San was sitting at the head of the table, looking embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment before revealing an ugly smile and speaking with difficulty:
"Yun Yi, your father and I are good friends.
I am very familiar with Yan Wujian's father.
He entrusted his son to my care so that he could win merit in the next war.
Perhaps he was eager to make a contribution, so he did such a stupid thing.
You see, I will give the reward silver to Wu Fuliu and his soldiers, and I will also pay for their subsequent recovery.
Can this make the matter less serious? After all, I can’t explain myself.”
At this time, only Lu Yunyi and Yan San were in the military tent.
So Yan San spoke without restraint, and when the door was closed, he spoke frankly, simply and clearly.
After hearing this, Lu Yunyi was surprised and frowned slightly.
He couldn't quite figure out the key point. Who was this Yan Wujian to him and why was he so determined to protect him?
Otherwise, the power behind him is extremely powerful?
Lu Yunyi couldn't figure it out, so he simply came to the table and spoke in a low voice:
"May I ask, Lord Yan, who is behind Yan Wujian? Could his father also be a colleague of Qingzhou Guard?"
Hearing this, Yan San suddenly looked strange, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, he smiled awkwardly, and waved his hand casually:
"I guess so. I guess so. This child has been raised by his mother since he was young. He doesn't know etiquette and doesn't know the importance of doing things.
Now I throw him into the army just to give him some experience."
As he spoke, Yan San showed a trace of embarrassment on his face:
"I arranged him under your command in the hope that he would achieve meritorious service sooner. I didn't expect... now."
Yan San sighed and stared at Lu Yunyi in amazement.
The doubts in my heart became even more serious, and I was secretly afraid.
Who exactly is this Yan Wujian?
Even Captain Yan, who is usually serious, behaves like this!
With a turn of his eyes, Lu Yunyi thought for a moment and said:
"Master Yan, there is irrefutable evidence of what this man did.
All of my soldiers saw it. If we let him go easily, I'm afraid it would be hard to convince them.
It would be better to transfer Yan Wujian back to the headquarters and appease Wu Fuliu and others. This is also reasonable."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Yan San's face froze for a moment, and then he quickly regained his composure and chuckled twice.
He stood up slowly and paced back and forth at the top, looking thoughtful.
All of this was seen by Lu Yunyi.
He was increasingly puzzled as to the identity of Yan Wujian, and how he deserved Yan San's strong protection.
But the more this happened, the more Lu Yunyi wanted to accomplish this, or at least to determine the charges!
Otherwise, with Yan Wujian's domineering character, even if the two of them reconcile, there will be trouble in the future. It is better to teach him a lesson.
He understands that good people are often bullied.
After about ten breaths, Yan San returned to his previous state and looked at Lu Yunyi with a warm smile:
"Alas, this matter is a little difficult for me to do, so let's put it aside for now. Now that we are away on the battlefield, you have made another contribution.
If word gets out about the killing of colleagues, it will be bad for our reputation."
Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at Yan San.
This is a tactic of procrastination, and he is pretending to be considering the overall situation and using the situation to pressure others.
In this regard, Lu Yunyi did not intend to completely break up with Yan San, so he nodded and showed a simple smile:
"Then follow what Lord Yan said and put this matter aside for now. We will consider it again when there is a better way to deal with it."
"Then I will take my leave first. I still have to go and arrange for my subordinates to be settled."
"Go." Yan San forced a smile, sat down and waved his hand, indicating that Lu Yunyi could leave.
But when Lu Yunyi turned around and left, the smile on Yan San's face suddenly disappeared completely.
He even became unusually cold, with obvious anger in his eyes.
When he was the only one left in the military tent, Yan San's breathing became more and more rapid.
He grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, his rage growing even greater!
"Mind your own business, why don't you just stay in Gyeongju and stay there peacefully?
Why do you have to come to Mobei to fight the Yuan people? You are not afraid of death, but others are not afraid?"
Yan San knew clearly that the reason why the Qianhu of Qingzhou was sent to be the scouts of the front army was entirely because of Lu Yunyi.
If he hadn't spoken so eloquently in front of the general,
These thousand people could just spend the New Year in Gyeongju peacefully instead of having to fight here to the death!
He thought of Yan Wujian again, and he clenched his teeth and hit his left palm hard with his right fist.
"Damn it, you are so careless. Do you really think I have the final say?"
He knew that all the ten centurions of the Qingzhou Thousand Households were extraordinary.
Either they have a very good family background, or someone to support them, or they have extraordinary abilities.
Every one of them is not easy to deal with.
To put it nicely, he is a kind person, but to put it bluntly, no one dares to offend him.
Now, Yan Wujian had offended Lu Yunyi just after he went on the expedition, and he happened to be the most difficult person to control.
Yan San knew that Master Lu was famous throughout Qingzhou for his old-fashioned temper, so one could imagine how stubborn the son he taught would be.
"Ugh"
Yan San sighed heavily and pinched his brows.
Feeling the cold wind leaking in from all directions of the military tent, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He hesitated for a moment, then put on his helmet, picked up his sword, and walked straight out of the tent.
Not long after, Yan San arrived at a corner of the camp.
There is a military tent standing here, it is very simple, with a few wooden poles covered with linen, and you can see the scene inside at the bottom.
You can even see traces of the cold wind whistling past.
Yan San shook his head helplessly, snorted, and walked straight into the military tent!
After entering and looking around, he saw Yan Wujian, who was tied up and curled up in the corner!
At this moment, Yan Wujian's eyelids were opening and closing, his body was shaking constantly, and he had some frostbite on his hands, feet and face.
Seeing him like this, Yan San suddenly felt his eyes go dark.
I was furious, and I also knew what the soldiers were planning.
These soldiers want to freeze him to death!
Yan Wujian looked just like a soldier who was about to freeze to death on the battlefield.
His perception of the outside world had dropped to freezing point, so much so that he was unable to detect Yan San entering the military tent.
The main culprit was the thin clothes he was wearing and the military tent that was leaking air everywhere!
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!!"
Not long after, two tightly wrapped soldiers rushed in, looking confused.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
When Yan San saw them like this, he immediately became furious and stretched out his hand to slap each of the two soldiers!
"Look at what you have done! People are freezing to death, what are you doing for a living?!"
The two soldiers looked at each other, sized up the commander, and one of them said aggrievedly:
"Sir, are you in need of cotton clothes?"
Yan San felt like howling to the heavens at this moment, and pointed at Yan Wujian, who was curled up in the corner, angrily:
"Him!! It's him!! He's going to freeze to death!! How do you take care of the soldiers!!"
Another soldier suddenly realized what was going on. He smiled and quickly came to Yan Wujian's side and slapped him hard on the face.
"Hey, hey. Wake up. Hey, wake up!"
Seeing that he didn't react, the soldier slapped him several times until the chilblains on Yan Wujian's face broke.
And Yan Wujian's slightly confused eyes gradually showed a hint of spirituality.
Soon he saw the person coming, and was startled and quickly stepped back.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore!"
"You guys are beating people again?" Yan San grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted.
No matter how stupid the soldier was, he came to his senses and looked embarrassed, then smiled awkwardly:
"Sir, this man murdered his colleagues. He will be a disaster if he stays here.
We just...were so angry that we hit him a few times, but don't worry, he won't die, he definitely won't die!"
When the other soldier heard this, he quickly stood up, hid the arm that was slapping him behind his back, and did not dare to look at Yan San.
At this time, Yan Wujian, who was crowded on one side, finally saw the person coming, and his eyes suddenly revealed a dazzling light! !
"Dad!!! Dad, you finally came to save me!!"
"Hurry up and get me out! They beat me and didn't give me any cotton clothes. I'm going to freeze to death." There was a hint of crying in his voice.
But he didn't notice
The three people in the military tent couldn't help but stare at each other with wide eyes.
The soldiers' hearts were filled with shock and fear. What did they hear?
This Yan Wujian is Lord Yan’s son???
Then they fell into great fear. What did they do?
Almost killed the captain’s son?
For a moment, strong conflicting emotions stirred in the hearts of the two.
On the one hand, there is curiosity about Yan Wujian's life experience, and on the other hand, there is fear of the dark future.
And Yan San's expression was changing back and forth at this moment.
Hesitation, fear, terror, confusion, and even a hint of deeply hidden joy.
But soon, he calmed down and snorted coldly:
"I think you are not only cruel and ruthless, but also crazy."
After saying this, he stopped Yan Wujian from speaking and looked at the two soldiers on the side, with a flash of coldness in his eyes:
"Since this is your first offense, I will not pursue this matter.
But...whatever happened here must not be disclosed to the outside world, otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of harming your colleagues!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The two nodded like pecking at rice.
"Besides, there are people in the army who like to gossip, and I don't want to hear any rumors.
Once I hear it, I will not look for anyone else, but you!"
Yan San looked fierce, as if he was about to draw his sword and kill someone!
"Yes, yes, we two are surprisingly tight-lipped!!"
"get out!"
The two of them were pardoned and left in disgrace!
At this time, there were only two people left in the military tent, and Master Yan San no longer pretended, and his disguise was broken in a second.
The coldness on his face suddenly turned into heartache, and he rushed over in one step, taking off his robe and covering Yan Wujian with it.
"You evil beast! You are as stupid as a pig!!"
"You can't even do this well. I am so disappointed in you!!"
Yan Wujian also seemed to be angry. He stiffened his neck and stared at Yan San with wide eyes:
"I have no father since I was little, no one taught me!!"
