Unlike the State Law Department, which governs Simeng and Anding, the distinction between lieutenants and cavalry generals in the State Military Department is not mainly based on geographical location, as is the case with the State Law Department.
The eight major lieutenants are in charge of different specialties, such as Li Zai, the rest department lieutenant who is Han Dongwen's personal guard, and Tantai Ming, the wounded department lieutenant who is responsible for secrets and intelligence.
The cavalry generals stationed in various places and guarding the border are stationed in the local area and obey the command of any of the national military commanders who come in person. It can be said that they will not move their troops. This can be regarded as a unique mechanism evolved in this world where the disparity in personal combat effectiveness is increasing. .
Because of this, although Tantai Ming was appointed as the captain of the wounded department, he proposed the action to the emperor, so he should naturally lead the troops.
That night.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sect Leader Yang."
Watching the formation of the troops, whose head and tail could not be seen, the long dragon emerged from Tianying City. Tantai Ming did not dismount, but only expressed his gratitude to Yang Kai beside him as a courtesy.
They won’t eat from him or drink from him, but they still have to send someone from Fa Si and Han Ying Sect to coordinate the internal order of Tianying City.
"Wherever, Sir Tantai Buwei led his troops to guard the border to protect our safety. Han Yingzong should cooperate with us."
Waiting in suspense until Tantai Ming arrived with his troops, Yang Kai finally managed to maintain a neither humble nor overbearing mood and answered carefully:
"This time the national army has closed the mountain. Can you tell me a little bit about why the mountain is closed and how much it needs to be closed?"
Tantai Ming, who was riding on the horse, had no expression. The horse was not his beloved horse that he raised in Siyang, and this place was not Siyang.
The backer of this small border sect was the Department of National Law. He didn't bother to say anything more and only said coldly:
"We are marching according to the holy order. The sect leader does not need to ask any questions."
Hearing this, Yang Kai curled his lips inwardly.
Aren't you just a subordinate? I even spoke to the commander-in-chief back then. Why are you so proud?
Not to mention the Chief Secretary, when the Yihong Building was first completed, even the Holy One...
Having said that, Yang Kai was still somewhat murmuring.
Just because this Tantai commander is not an ordinary commander, but the son of the commander-in-chief of the country's military department.
"This Yihong Building looks quite prosperous."
Tantai Ming's sudden words startled Yang Kai. He almost thought that this captain could read people's thoughts, and even cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Anyway, Mr. Souji, the sect really needs to make a living, so we have no choice but to..."
Yang Kai was thinking about what to say when suddenly, a hundred cavalry generals from the National Military Division came over from a distance and anxiously presented a note to Tantai Ming.
"Lord Lieutenant, this is an urgent report from the frontier army!"
The four thousand troops did not march all the way from Siyang, but gathered from the nearby Bailan border garrison like a river to leave.
There are things that are near and far, and naturally there are things that are fast and slow. The ones that Tantai Ming is taking out of the customs right now are the last ones.
An urgent report from the frontier army?
The rendezvous is about to happen. Why can't you even wait for this? You need to report it urgently?
Tantai Ming grabbed the note and read it carefully, his face turned serious.
"Take the people under you and get out of the customs as quickly as possible to rendezvous!"
After Tantai Ming finished speaking with a stern face, he stepped on the stirrups and jumped up in the air, turned over and dismounted.
"After the officers and soldiers leave the customs, Bailan Mountain will be closed immediately. No civilians without a special permit will be allowed to enter the mountain!"
The second half of the sentence was meant for Yang Kai. Before he could answer, Tantai Ming had already formed a hand seal.
A sudden wind blew up from the flat ground, and the horses nearby seemed to be sick. They hurriedly ran away for a few steps and lowered their heads sickly.
This sudden storm startled Yang Kai, and he felt a chill on his back. The intuition brought by his training seemed to remind him that there was some extremely dangerous and wild existence nearby.
However, this feeling had just appeared, and disappeared with a snap of Tantai Ming's fingers.
When Yang Kai looked again, Tantai Ming had already risen into the sky, as if he was riding some invisible mount, leaping into the sky, and piercing into the depths of Bailan Mountain like an arrow.
"What's going on, Bailan Mountain..."
The speed of the army's exit was obviously accelerated, and Yang Kai, who stayed in place, frowned.

"What is your highness thinking?"
In Chiya Palace, Han Dongwen was lying on Chi Hanqing's lap, looking at the ceiling beams in a daze.
He always has to meet his two beloved concubines. In comparison, Chi Hanqing is obviously not as troublesome as Jiang Keyin.
Therefore, Han Dongwen could only bite the bullet and stay in Chiya Palace for one night.
He did everything he needed to do, but the routine was the same as Jiang Keyin's last time, which was somewhat of a psychological comfort.
Sleeping with her was not only a way to express his feelings to Tantai, but Han Dongwen himself really needed some comfort.
Chi Hanqing held a round gauze fan in her hand and gently fanned Han Dongwen. Looking at his entranced expression, she felt quite emotional.
Your Highness has changed, a lot.
After such a long time, when His Highness visited me again, it was as if he was a different person.
No longer so violent, no longer so intoxicated.
But from the physical strength to the gentleness of his hands, they seem to be completely different.
If His Highness in the past looked like a cruel and skinny evil ghost, His Highness tonight looks like...
Like a big tree in the sun?
She couldn't think of any other metaphor. No matter what, as a concubine, she only had Han Dongwen.
She could only compare with Han Dongwen in the past, and this comparison made her feel as if she was in a dream.
"Nothing, Hanqing, how is my pulse?"
Han Dongwen looked at the concubine whom he was once extremely afraid of. Does Chi Hanqing still hate him?
In the not-too-distant future, will this kind-hearted Chi Hanqing, who has good hands and benevolent heart, raise a knife against him?
"Your Highness is fine and even much healthier than before."
Chi Hanqing withdrew the hand that gently grasped Han Dongwen's wrist and sounded sincerely happy.
After a pause, she spoke softly: "The day before yesterday in the dormitory, Han Qing heard that His Highness... was very concerned about him. I wonder who His Highness is?"
Han Dongwen smiled tiredly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay now. You've checked my pulse, right?"
His Highness didn't want to mention it, so Chi Hanqing naturally didn't pursue it.
"How is the maid guarding the palace gate for His Highness?" She changed the subject.
Han Dongwen nodded: "I'll be fine after two more days of rest. What's more important now is West Asia's affairs."
"Sia?"
"Yes, Sia."
Han Dongwen nodded: "Do you still remember that you asked me to prescribe medicine for your patient in West Asia?"
Chi Hanqing immediately replied: "I remember, Your Highness, is she feeling better?"
"Better, but..."
Han Dongwen stopped when his words reached his mouth.
Lorreth's new medicine has not been prescribed to her yet. Not only that, she also took her son Bota to the church.
I don’t know if he ran out?
He suddenly felt guilty, and then he thought, even for the sake of Loreth and Bota, he had to speed up the matter of West Asia.
Han Dongwen then said: "The reason why I was able to help you at that time was because I could do something outside the palace?"
Chi Hanqing was stunned and nodded.
"The purpose of deploying troops to the Bailan border this time is not just to guard the border."
Han Dongwen said while observing Chi Hanqing's expression.
He was not stupid, and he naturally knew that the people standing behind the concubine were the National Military Division and Tantai father and son.
Then, conversely, he can naturally use her as a window to bypass the Department of Justice and communicate with the Department of National Defense.
While making the cake bigger, we must not be partial to any one party in order to continue walking on this tightrope called the throne.
"The Holy Church has rebelled. Simeng should take this opportunity to re-enter the five border cities in the name of aiding the rebellion!"
"You can tell Tantai this."
