Chapter 118 Jinyiwei cannot be trusted
Lu Yunyi wandered around the front military camp, asking around, and finally found Lan Yu.

It’s actually in the place where the Princess of Northern Yuan Dynasty was settled!

This shocked Lu Yunyi. Could it be that today would be the day when the Princess of Beiyuan would die?

Soon he arrived at the Beiyuan Princess's place, and waited at the door with Shi Zhengyu, chatting idly.

Lan Yu's angry curses could often be heard from the military tent.
I could vaguely hear him discussing the resettlement of the grassland people with the Princess of Beiyuan.

After a full quarter of an hour, Lan Yu came out angrily with a gloomy face.

Seeing him waiting at the door, Lan Yu paused:

"What's the matter?"

Lu Yunyi's face froze. He didn't see Jiang Li.

He felt a little relieved, took two steps forward, lowered his voice to the lowest level, and whispered:

"General, I have something important to report. I suspect there are spies in the army."

A fierce murderous intent flashed in Lan Yu's eyes, and he took a step forward:

"follow me."

Soon, the two came to an empty military tent.
Lan Yu walked in first, followed by Lu Yunyi.

The furnishings inside are in a messy state, but you can still vaguely see traces of the grassland people's life.

Lu Yunyi did not speak after entering, but checked the room thoroughly.
After making sure that there was no one around, he came to Lan Yu and stood quietly.
Lan Yu's face was extremely gloomy.
Lu Yunyi took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"General, my soldiers know some detection and protection methods, especially for secret spying."

"What do you want to say?"

Lu Yunyi pursed his lips and continued to speak in a low voice:
"In the past few days, our soldiers have discovered some sneaky people.
They wandered around the battlefield, recording scenes everywhere.

Even his subordinates were often spied on, and when they were discovered by his soldiers, they would flee in a hurry.

Originally, the subordinates wanted to catch the spies in the camp in one fell swoop, report them to the general, and make a great contribution.

But today, I found out.

The impression given to you by Lieutenant General Jiang Li beside you is very similar to that of those sneaky people.
So...so I can't wait to come and ask the general."

Lu Yunyi showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and scratched his head:

"Are those people the general's subordinates?
If so, I will order my soldiers to stop investigating, so as to avoid flooding the Dragon King Temple."

Lan Yu's eyes changed from astonishment to shock, and then to confusion, as she looked at Lu Yunyi:
“How many people did you find?”

"At least a dozen people."

Lan Yu looked solemn, and in the face of Lu Yunyi's shock,
He pulled out a blue booklet from his bosom and began to flip through it quietly and openly.

Lu Yunyi's eyes widened. He was very familiar with this booklet.
Written by him personally.

It records some espionage methods and precautions for protecting superiors. I didn't expect Lan Yu to carry it with him.

The sound of pages turning was heard little by little, and soon Lan Yu closed the booklet and nodded:

"I have been busy with military affairs these days, so I have only read the first part of this book.

I didn't expect the real essence was at the back. You used this booklet to train your soldiers?"

Lu Yunyi's face was solemn:
"That's right. I'm in the enemy camp, surrounded by enemies.
If there are no means of protection, the subordinates are afraid that they will die.

Some of the methods of testing poisons, including the means of training close personals, were summarized from the books of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that this method could be useful after leaving the enemy camp.
General, you are the pillar of the country, you must be extremely careful.

You can find some close people to teach this method to protect your safety.

At least, be careful that walls have ears.”

The military tent seemed a little dark, which made the two men's eyes look particularly profound.

In fact, his real purpose was to have this booklet appear on the desk of the crown prince through Lan Yu.

When Lan Yu heard what Lu Yunyi said, his pupils suddenly contracted.
As a general who has fought on the battlefield for thirty years,

Naturally, his control over fighter planes and people's hearts is ahead of most people in the world.

From Lu Yunyi's words, he could keenly sense that Lu Yunyi was worried about his safety.
He was very sure of this keen perception.

However, Lan Yu was somewhat confused.
He is now surrounded by an army of one hundred thousand. Where does the danger come from?

Who could threaten him, the great general of the Ming Dynasty?

After a pause, Lan Yu's gaze became deeper and deeper, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
He also lowered his voice, stared at Lu Yunyi intently, and asked softly:

"What do you want to say?"

Lu Yunyi's face was solemn, and he suddenly felt his lips were a little dry.

It was only the 21st year of Hongwu, and he was still the commander of the front army. He was going to confront Jinyiwei head-on. This was a bit too much.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yunyi said softly:
"General, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall.
Those people could appear in the military camp, so the power behind them must not be underestimated.

For us soldiers, marching and fighting are confidential matters.
My subordinates were afraid that someone would collude with them from outside and disrupt the Northern Expedition.

Moreover, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are implementing policies that replace the old with the new.
And you, the great general, will become the most powerful person in the imperial court with your achievements in this northern expedition.
It is inevitable that it will become a thorn in the eyes of some people.
Especially now that the conflict between civil and military officials has become more and more obvious, I am afraid that some people are trying to harm the general."

Lan Yu's expression was extremely solemn.
He clenched his fists tightly behind his back, and the heaviness in his heart could no longer be hidden, and was exposed without reservation.

The young man in front of me is right.
In the past, Duke Xin Tang He, Duke Song Feng Sheng, and Duke Ying Fu Youde stood at the front to protect the court and the military from wind and rain.

But after this year, the old ones will retire, and some old soldiers can only train in various places.

It was his turn to protect the successors from the wind and rain.
By then, there will be endless criticism from all sides.
Lan Yu didn't know if he could hold on.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at the blue booklet in his hand, and flipped it slightly.
The twisted font inside came into view.

Even though he had seen it many times, every time he saw it, he would frown and sigh.

But from this distorted font, he could sense a trace of concern.

The nervousness displayed by Lu Yunyi in front of him could not be faked.

After calming down his thoughts, Lan Yu softly uttered a few words:
"That's the Royal Guards."

Ah? Lu Yunyi was shocked at the right moment, and he opened his mouth wide without saying anything.
"General, wasn't the Jinyiwei abolished in the 20th year of Hongwu?"

Lan Yu sneered: "If you don't withdraw, it will just turn from open to covert.

If there were no Jinyiwei, how could we supervise officials all over the world?

When the army went out to fight, it was customary for the Jinyiwei to accompany the army and protect the generals.

Once you become successful, they will protect you.”

"I just didn't expect you to find out."

But Lu Yunyi's next reaction made Lan Yu put away his smile and frowned again.

Lu Yunyi reacted violently and stepped forward quickly.
As if he had exhausted all his strength, he let out a low roar:
"Great General!! Even the Imperial Guards can't do that.
How can personal safety be left to outsiders? It must be under your control, especially by you, the general!"

Lu Yunyi quickly calmed his thoughts and said quickly:
"There is a sentence in the Northern Yuan Dynasty book that I agree with very much.
There is no such thing as a loophole in this world, so we have to be careful and take precautions!

General, you don't know.

I am now eighteen years old. Liu Heiying, who protects my safety,
We have been playing together since we were four years old, so I can feel at ease now.

The Jinyiwei supervised all officials, and I knew without thinking that there were good and bad people among them.

There are people who are in Cao's camp but their hearts are with Han. How can we put our safety in the hands of such people? "

As he was speaking, Lu Yunyi bowed solemnly:
"I also ask the general to form a personal guard and select trustworthy people to protect his safety in case someone is desperate and makes a desperate move."

Lan Yu's brows slowly furrowed, and absurdity grew in her heart.

He thought of what Jiang Li said in Qingzhou.

At that time, Jiang Li guessed that Lu Yunyi was a Jinyiwei, but he rejected it outright.

Lu Yunyi’s current performance has made him doubt. Could it be that Lu Yunyi is really a Jinyi Guard?

As the general of the imperial court, his power was at the top of the court.

He did not bother to hide his thoughts, but stared straight at Lu Yunyi:
"Are you a Jinyiwei?" "Ah?" Lu Yunyi raised his head suddenly, his face full of surprise.

This time he was not pretending, but was really surprised.

"How can I be a Jinyiwei?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Lan Yu's serious face. He took a step forward and patted Lu Yunyi on the shoulder:

"You have a heart, and I will keep this in mind.
If you have nothing else to do, go and persuade Princess Beiyuan, she is a little ungrateful. "

"Yes"

Lan Yu nodded and took a step forward.
But when he reached the military tent, Lan Yu stopped again.

His eyes were empty and his voice was calm:
"In your opinion, should the Princess of Beiyuan be killed?"

Lu Yunyi was stunned, but did not hesitate: "It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Kill."

Lan Yu nodded gently, his brows relaxed, and walked out of the tent.

Shi Zhengyu and many bodyguards on one side hurriedly followed.

As they walked, the relief on Lan Yu's face faded away little by little.

Instead, there was solemnity and a murderous look in his eyes.
His thoughts were far from being as calm as they were in the military tent.
Lu Yunyi's words woke him up.

Since the Jinyiwei was established, it has been monitoring all officials and has caught countless officials with evidence.

Such a cruel measure will naturally cause a counterattack.

Most of the officials are outstanding people who survived the chaos of the Yuan Dynasty. Who of them doesn't have some tricks?
The Jinyiwei were not clean, and there were many people who were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han.

Lan Yu knew about this, and he believed that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew it as well.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed inappropriate to entrust your own safety to the Jinyiwei.

Lan Yu walked in the military camp, listening to the calls of "Great General" one after another.
His face was solemn, with a sneer on his lips.
With an army of 100,000 men at his command, who could take his life?

Soon, Lan Yu returned to the front army tent, and all the documents in the central army were moved here.

The same is true for the huge sandbox and map.

Lan Yu walked into the military tent and checked the time.

It was already Chou time, and only two hours left until dawn.

He looked at the many military reports and documents on the table and sighed softly.
He still did not choose to rest, but sat behind the desk and quietly reviewed the papers.

Soon, Jiang Li's hoarse voice sounded from the shadow of the military tent:

"General, how do you plan to deal with Princess Beiyuan?"

Hearing this voice, Lan Yu narrowed his eyes, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent:

"What do you think? Should we kill him or keep him?"

"Killing him or leaving him in the capital will cause endless troubles. The general will make the decision." Jiang Li's voice was calm, without a trace of emotion.

"As a member of the Eastern Palace, I want to hear your opinion on whether to kill or keep him."

After a long silence, Jiang Li's voice finally rang out:

"After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, nearly 100,000 Yuan people were captured. The imperial court will certainly disperse and settle them in the interior and border areas.

Keeping the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would allow the court to better control the border residents and reduce unrest.
We can even rely on the reputation of the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

To attract those grassland tribes.

In this case, it is better not to kill. "

Lan Yu narrowed his eyes again, and looked down at his old, calloused hands.
I remembered what Lu Yunyi said: "A short pain is worse than a long one," and a trace of loneliness flashed in my eyes.

If he were a court official, the Princess of Northern Yuan would have to stay no matter what for the sake of border stability and appeasement of the grassland people.

But he is a military general and a nobleman. In the near future, he will become the number one military general in the court and provide protection for those behind him.

Then the Princess of Northern Yuan would be a disaster for him.

The entire Ming army had more than a million soldiers.

What do you want to do by keeping a grassland man who can control the border residents?
Gathering strength or plotting rebellion?
Lan Yu's thoughts gradually calmed down. He stopped talking and continued to check the military newspaper.

Inside the military tent, the dim lights flickered and gradually became quieter, with only the rustling sound of papers being turned.

Northeast corner of the former military camp.
There stood a huge military tent, although its exterior was charred and had traces of war.

But compared to others, this one is a bit more decent.

It was the residence of the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, close to the front-line position.

When Lu Yunyi arrived here, he saw Wu Fuliu and many familiar faces waiting quietly on one side.

The complexity in his heart subsided a little, and he nodded gently and walked straight in.

The interior of the military tent is spacious and luxurious.
The ceiling of the tent was hung with exquisite silk embroidered with intricate totems, which were colorful and sparkling.

The ground is covered with thick blankets, soft and warm.
Even on the bookshelf on one side of the tent,
There are also several antique vases from the Ming Dynasty, with exquisite colors and beautiful appearance.

There was no sign of the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Lu Yunyi frowned and walked towards the back tent.

The back tent was not big, and a huge bed occupied a prominent position.

It was covered with gorgeous bedding, colorful and embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, showing nobility.

The Princess of Beiyuan lay there on her side, her figure looking thin and lonely under the dim candlelight.

Even a set of gorgeous clothes could not hide the sadness on her face.

Her long hair was scattered on the bed, looking a little messy, and her brows revealed an indescribable worry.

Her hands were clenched together and her body was tense, as if she was having a nightmare.

At the same time, a faint fragrance wafts over.

At this moment, the Princess of Beiyuan quietly opened her eyes.

His large, bright eyes were fixed on the figure standing beside the bed.

He pursed his lips tightly, showing resentment on his face, and gnashed his teeth and said:

"General Arsleng, are the Ming people so rude?"

There was no change on Lu Yunyi's face, he spoke calmly:
"I came specially to tell you that the grassland people's meal is ready."

Lu Yunyi could clearly see that the hostility on Princess Beiyuan's face had dissipated a lot, the lines became softer, and a light flashed in her eyes.

"Then what are you doing?"

The Princess of Beiyuan had no scruples either. She just turned over and lay on the bed.
Looking straight at the young general in front of him.

Lu Yunyi felt a little complicated.
After a long time, he sighed and said faintly:

"The general just asked me what to do with you."

"What do you say?" Princess Beiyuan raised her head slightly with an expectant look on her face.

"kill."

The cold voice echoed in the military tent, adding a touch of solemnity.

But for the Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it was the sound of nature.

Her head dropped heavily, and her tense body relaxed a little bit. After a long while, she said with a slightly tired look:
"That's good."

The fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty made her feel that life was worse than death.
The burden on his shoulders has crushed him more than once.

She had even thought more than once that she should be killed in the very beginning of the battle, so that she wouldn't have to watch the people of the grassland rushing to die for her.

It was quiet for a long time. Princess Beiyuan supported herself with her arms, looked at Arsleng in front of her and said softly:
"After I die, please help me take care of Di Baonu and keep him alive and well, considering our past friendship."

Lu Yunyi nodded gently:
"it is good."
