Chapter 17 They are all good people
Soon, Lu Yunyi followed the soldier to the military tent where Captain Yan San was.

Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes slightly and slowed down his pace.

His palm tightened the long sword little by little, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

Seeing this scene, Liu Heiying, who was following behind him, took a deep breath and grasped the long knife in his right hand.

He looked alert and stared around.

"Captain Lu, please."

The soldier stepped forward and lifted the curtain, revealing the scene inside the military tent.

I saw a tall figure standing quietly in the middle of the military tent, holding a package in his hand.
Qianhu Yan San stood not far away with a grim look on his face.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief and his tense expression relaxed.
Liu Heiying, who was not far behind him, also relaxed his expression, took a long breath, and watched Lu Yunyi enter the military tent quietly.

Entering the military tent, the big man cast his eyes over, looked at him and said:
"Are you Lu Yunyi?"

"Exactly."

Lu Yunyi's eyes flickered. If I remembered correctly,
This man is one of Lan Yu's personal guards. I saw him when I returned to Gyeongju last time. No wonder he looked familiar.

"This is the transfer order from the general. From now on, your troops will be incorporated into the front army and will be under the general's command."

The big man stuffed the package into Lu Yunyi's hand and smiled. The stagnant atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
He stepped forward and patted Lu Yunyi on the shoulder:

"My surname is Shi, my name is Shi Zhengyu, and I am the deputy commander of the general's personal guard.

I have been with the general for many years, but this is the first time I have seen him personally issue orders to a centurion.
From now on, you and I will serve the general together. Don't let the general down. Open it and take a look."

Lu Yunyi took a deep breath.

Since I learned that my father was a disciple of Liu Sanwu and belonged to the Eastern Palace with Lan Yu,
He knew there would be such a day.
I just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

For Lan Yu, promoting anyone would not have any impact on his power.

But if there are people of the same origin, why should we promote those commoners?

What's more, Lu Yunyi thought he had some talent in the military, and there was really no one in Qingzhou Guard who could compare with him.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi forced a smile, opened the package, and saw the documents inside.

After opening it, Lu Yunyi discovered that it was indeed a transfer order.

As to why he was transferred back, no mention was made.

"May I ask, General, why did the general transfer me back?"

Shi Zhengyu's face suddenly became solemn, and he paused for a long time before uttering a few words:

"I do not know either."

Lu Yunyi's face froze, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile, then looked at Qianhu Yan San who was standing on the side.

As expected, Yan San's face looked extremely ugly and gloomy.

Although Lu Yunyi had some conflicts with him, Yan San knew his abilities.

He has shared a lot of credit over the years, and several captains of Qingzhou Guard were so jealous that their eyes were red.

Now that he is out investigating the enemy situation, he will certainly not gain anything by himself.
But if it were relying on Lu Yunyi, it would be different. He would have captured military merits in just a few days!

So he loved and hated Lu Yunyi, and tolerated and abused him.

But now that he was going to be transferred away, Yan San actually felt a little reluctant!
After a moment's silence, Yan San took a deep breath and looked at Shi Zhengyu:

"Sir, my troops are now investigating the enemy outside and have made some gains.

I wanted to go further tomorrow and go deeper into the grassland.

How can we conduct further investigation if our personnel leave now?
Can we wait until the exploration is over before returning?"

Shi Zhengyu turned around and looked at Yan San, looked him up and down, nodded slightly, but his tone was surprisingly serious:
"This is a military order, there is no room for negotiation.

Not to mention that you are a thousand households, even if you are a commander, you must obey the orders of the general at this moment!"

Yan San's body stiffened, his face changed slightly, and he secretly regretted that he had lost his mind.

So he quickly said:

"The captain Yan San obeyed the military order.

But the general transferred more than a hundred of my troops, leaving us with a vacancy.
Can we return to Gyeongju first to replenish our forces and discuss further?"

Shi Zhengyu turned around, without looking at Yan San, and just said softly:
"I will obey military orders. As for where your troops go, you must also obey military orders."

After saying that, Shi Zhengyu took Lu Yunyi and left the military tent without looking back, leaving behind two tall figures.

Yan San stood there with an unpleasant look on his face.
He understood that he could not retreat without a return order.
We must continue to explore and be the vanguard scout.

He moved his gaze to Lu Yunyi's back.
I saw him standing straight with a calm step, without any hesitation.

A bitter smile suddenly emerged in Yan San's heart.
Such people with skills are fearless wherever they go.
But a mediocre person like him would be in danger at every step on the grassland.
Wild beasts attacked, food and water were scarce, and the Yuan army attacked the camp.
They might even lose their way due to the wind and snow, resulting in the annihilation of most of the troops.

In recent years, all the overseas explorations have been done by Lu Yunyi.
Yan San never considered such a question.

But now, when he needs to face these things personally,
He couldn't help but feel a great sense of crisis enveloping him, making his whole body cold.

Soon, Lu Yunyi returned to the military tent alone with a serious look on his face.
Liu Heiying came over quickly, his face full of anxiety:
"How is it? What is the military order, Brother Yun'er?"

Lu Yunyi didn't have the heart to worry about his name at the moment.

Instead, he quietly walked to the side of the square table and sat down, looking at Liu Heiying and said solemnly:

"The general's order orders me to lead my troops to the front army and be under the overall planning and deployment of the general."

"Ah?" Liu Heiying was stunned, and then a great joy enveloped him.

The corners of his mouth widened a little, and his eyes shone with a bright light:

"Really?"

"Why are you so excited?" Lu Yunyi glanced at him with a helpless look on his face.

Liu Heiying was so excited that he paced back and forth in the military tent.

While looking forward to future achievements, he said:
"The general himself has come to give the sign, which means that Brother Yun'er has caught the general's eye.

I will do great things in the future. When I become the commander, I will let Yan San go to hell!"

Lu Yunyi couldn't help but feel helpless and sighed softly:

"Now I am only a centurion, and you are the general flag. Isn't it a bit too far-fetched to think about the commander-in-chief?"

"You said that if the general returns victoriously, we will have great achievements. Could it be that..."

Liu Heiying's eyes widened, a trace of fear flashed in them, and he muttered in a low voice:
"Brother Yun'er thinks the general can't win?"

Lu Yunyi was even more helpless. He waved his hands and sighed:

"What are you talking about? My Great Ming is strong and powerful, and we took the initiative to attack. We also have your and my intelligence. How can we lose?"

"That's good, that's good. The position of commander is just around the corner. When are we going to leave?"

Liu Heiying suddenly became full of energy and wanted to leave this place immediately!

It's obvious that he's fed up with the delay in promotion in recent years.

"We should set out early tomorrow morning. The general has ordered us to hurry up.

It is said that the general is arrogant and domineering. If we are beaten by him, we will be skinned alive if not dead."

Lu Yunyi felt inexplicably tired and slowly stood up to pick up the bag on the side.

"Okay, then I'll go inform the brothers, let's set off quickly!"

"go Go."

In the empty military tent, Lu Yunyi looked like he had lost all hope in life.
While sighing, I packed my luggage and sorted out my thoughts:

"It is now the 21st year of Hongwu, and there are still five years before Lan Yu's death.

I wonder if I can change my career in these five years.
At least being a slave of two surnames gives you some wiggle room.
If all else fails, he can turn to literature and seek refuge with Liu Sanwu through his father's connections.

Let’s hedge the risk and get through this hurdle first, then.”

Lu Yunyi's expression gradually became strange.

"After that, I might be able to use my mother's connections to seek refuge with Zhu Di, hide under my uncle's command, and avoid the last major case."

"In this case, am I not a slave of three families?"

Lu Yunyi stood there in a daze, blinking his eyes slightly.

To act in this way is truly a rebellious party.

It was night, snow was falling heavily, and the convoy, which had left the camp a day ago, was moving forward with difficulty.

The wind howled, blowing up the snow.
It hit the flags of the convoy, making them flutter.

The wheels of the carriage creaked in the snow.

The drivers held the reins tightly and tried to control the direction of the horses.

Their figures were blurred in the darkness.
All you can see is the white breath being exhaled and the face illuminated by the snow.

"Sixth brother, why don't they stop? It's already completely dark."

In the carriage protected in the middle, Xiao Shunzi's head shrank from the outside into the carriage, his face full of confusion. On his side, Wu Fuliu lay pale in the carriage, his eyes closed.

Although the carriage was shaking, he never woke up, as if he was in a coma.

Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi scratched his head, leaned down gently, and said in a low voice:

"Sixth brother, don't worry, I've checked and no one noticed us."

Wu Fuliu then slightly opened his eyes and said in an inaudible voice:
"Keep your voice down. Have you found Yan Wujian?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes:
"Sixth brother, I guess Yan Wujian is either in the carriage carrying the wounded or the carriage carrying the bodies.
I just went downstairs for a walk.
The injured person's carriage is full of familiar faces, not too many people, he should be in the last carriage."

"There were two carriages carrying the body. Did you go and see them?"

There was inevitably a hint of murderous intent in Wu Fuliu's voice.

"No, but I think it should be there.

The carriage is parked at the back, so that even if something happens, we can turn around and run away quickly! "

As Xiao Shunzi spoke, he gently lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage that was looming in the darkness.

"Besides, there was a driver and a soldier on the carriage, who said they were there to keep an eye on the spoils and prevent any thieves.

But I don’t think it’s that simple. There are no thieves in this icy and snowy place.”

Listening to his explanation, Wu Fuliu's eyes widened slightly, with a hint of surprise flashing across his face:
"Xiao Shunzi, you are really good. How come you have become smarter after not seeing you for two days?"

"Hehe." Xiao Shunzi scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"Master Liu taught me this. He was afraid that we wouldn't be able to find anyone."

Wu Fuliu immediately understood and nodded slightly:
"No wonder. I heard that Lord Liu is also an excellent scout of the Qingzhou Qianhu Division and the right-hand man of Lord Xiao Lu."

He thought of Liu Heiying's fat body and his silly smile from time to time, and added:
“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

Xiao Shunzi sat down at the entrance of the carriage and sighed:
"Sixth brother, we have been in the army for several years, and finally we met a good person."

"Good guy? Who?"

"Lord Lu and Lord Liu, they have good family backgrounds, great abilities, and are considerate of the soldiers."

He looked at the empty arm still tied with sackcloth:
"He also provides us with a living. He is truly a first-class good person."

After these words came out, Wu Fuliu's face was full of strangeness.

Everything they are doing now is not what good people would do.

After a moment's silence, Wu Fuliu lowered his voice and said:
"You two are deep-minded people. How can you be good people if you can succeed in the army? But we can follow you."

Xiao Shunzi thought about it and shook his head gently:
"Sixth brother, you are wrong. Whoever treats us well is a good person."

Wu Fuliu was stunned, and suddenly felt that this made a lot of sense, and whispered:

"You are right. My master's family has a bad reputation and is scolded by the villagers all day long.
But he was willing to take me in and give me food.

He is the best man in the world.
The same is true for both of you. I was wrong."

Xiao Shunzi immediately revealed a smug smile and started laughing.

Wu Fuliu also laughed softly:

"Okay, get out now.
The wind outside has died down, and we are almost at the sheltered spot. When they set up camp, you should look carefully and make sure to find him!"

Xiao Shunzi looked sideways outside and saw that the team was indeed slowing down.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

But I have already done the ninety-nine prostrations, and the last one does not matter.

When the time comes, there is no way to avoid it!
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Shunzi nodded towards Wu Fuliu with determination:
"Sixth brother, I'm going."

Seeing him like this, Wu Fuliu sneered and nodded slightly:

"Be careful, as long as I find him, I can kill him!"

In this regard, although Wu Fuliu was physically weak,

But there was a strong sense of self-confidence surrounding his body, this was a fierce soldier who had killed level ten in the formation!

After Xiao Shunzi left, Wu Fuliu slowly began to breathe more slowly.

His face turned calm and pale,
Hidden in the quilt, his fists grasped a narrow, cold object.

It was a dagger, a dagger made of fine iron!

The moment he grasped the dagger, the gentleness on Wu Fuliu's face disappeared.

Instead, there was biting cold!
After going through this life-and-death crisis, Wu Fuliu has realized that a gentleman cannot defeat a villain!
Don't be polite to those who have evil intentions.

Killing it is the easiest way!

Time passed little by little, and the convoy stopped.

The sound of the wind outside the window also dissipated little by little, and finally became inaudible.
The convoy arrived at the designated sheltered point and will rest here until tomorrow morning.

The entire convoy went from quiet to noisy.

Everyone was busy, making fire, cooking, setting up camp, and patrolling around.

Wu Fuliu gently closed his eyes.
Lying in the carriage, quietly listening to the footsteps outside the carriage,

If someone approaches, he will clench the dagger!

Yan Wujian relied on his father's evil deeds and acted without scruples.
If they can carry out the assassination, that person may also become desperate and take revenge in advance!
But the busy sound continued for an hour.
It finally got quiet outside, and a faint fragrance began to spread.
Yan Wujian still didn't show up.

This made Wu Fuliu secretly disappointed, as he missed a chance to kill him in a fair and open manner!

After a while, the fragrance gradually approached, and faint footsteps were heard.
Wu Fuliu still had his eyes slightly closed and his whole body relaxed. He was very familiar with the footsteps.

Soon, Xiao Shunzi poked his head in and said excitedly:

"Sixth brother, that's right, Yan Wujian is in the last carriage.
I just saw the driver passing by with a bowl of broth."

"You haven't been discovered, have you?" A gleam of light flashed in Wu Fuliu's eyes, and he was secretly excited in his heart.

"No, I used my peripheral vision."

"Peripheral light?" Wu Fuliu frowned. What is that?
Xiao Shunzi turned his body to one side, facing the carriage.

"Just don't look at it straight."

"Did Lord Liu teach you that?"

"Hmmmm, Master Liu knows a lot. I've used this trick on many people, and they didn't notice it."

Xiao Shunzi's excited look made Wu Fuliu laugh.

"Okay, when you can learn to read, go and do clerkship for Lord Liu."

"Master Liu is the general flag bearer, so he doesn't need any paperwork."

Wu Fuliu smiled mysteriously: "Just wait, it will be used soon."

After a pause, Wu Fuliu looked serious and looked at the big bowl in his hand:

"Is this mine? Drink it up quickly and get another bowl.
Stay there for a while, I'll take this opportunity to take action."

"Why am I the one drinking?"

Looking at the broth in the bowl, Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed with resistance.
In order to stay there a little longer, he had already drunk two bowls.

"I forgot what my superior taught me. I feel sleepy and my hands and feet become weak after eating.

It takes an hour before you can go into battle and kill the enemy.
This operation concerns our lives, and there can be no mistakes.

My injury hasn't healed yet, so I must use all my strength."

Wu Fuliu felt quite disappointed with him and slapped him.

Xiao Shunzi felt a little aggrieved when being patted, but he still huddled aside and gulped down the drink.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shunzi sat back against the carriage.

With one hand on his stomach, he tried hard to swallow.

"Is it done?" Wu Fuliu, who was squatting at the entrance of the carriage and staring outside, looked back.

Xiao Shunzi waved his hands, his face bitter:

"Don't talk, it's coming out."

After saying this, he quickly closed his mouth and kept groping his chest.
Wu Fuliu's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he cursed:

"Damn it, you must have been a starving ghost in your previous life, why do you eat so much!"

Xiao Shunzi didn't say anything, just hummed twice and waved his hands!

Wu Fuliu looked at the people who were eating together and said:

"It's too late, hurry over there.
Prepare my change of clothes when you come back. I'll go first."

"Okay." Xiao Shunzi grabbed the package on the side and pointed to the change of clothes inside.
Wu Fuliu nodded, took out a black cloth bag and put it on his head, then bit the dagger gently.

He leaped out like a monkey and ran to the end of the convoy.

In a few breaths, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
