Four hours later.
In the north, Zhenbei Army Camp.
In the main camp tent, a middle-aged man wearing a dark helmet was holding a bamboo slip and studying it. Suddenly, a notice came from outside the camp. The man put down the bamboo slip to announce his entry. After the visitor entered the tent, he winked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man understood and immediately said to the soldiers guarding the camp: "You guys go out first. I have something to discuss with Sun Shen."
"Yes, Commander Zhang!"
The two of them did not dare to neglect and quickly walked out of the camp.
Sun Shenling then approached and said: "Sir, those people couldn't help but rebel and killed the seventeen tiger guards guarding the mine. I have sent people to post a notice on the notice board in front of the military camp and asked people to Pursuing wanted criminals, most of them were caught last night, and three others fled abroad..."
"Three people escaped? Who are they!" Commander Zhang suddenly frowned.
"Yes...it's Wu Renyao, Su Anding and Yang Weishan." Leader Sun Shen said tremblingly.
"Wu Renyao escaped? The three of them all went to Taishan College to study, and their thoughts are biased toward the royal family! If they escape, they will definitely try their best to contact Kyoto!"
"Sun Datong, what on earth are you doing? If those three people are allowed to spread the news, not only me and you, but also our 'sub-rudder' here will be eliminated."
"You have to know that after what happened last time, the emperor made a major change in the Zhenbei Army. We worked hard and died to get to this position!"
"If the higher-ups are not satisfied with our work efficiency, you know the methods within the sect..."
Speaking of this, Commander Zhang stopped with a complicated expression.
Sun Shenling suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't worry, sir, they are near Yan Great Wall. I will send more people there to find the three of them as soon as possible..."
"I'll give you five more hours!"
Commander Zhang slapped the table and threw one of the bamboo slips in front of him. The latter picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but ask: "The emperor wants his two sons to take over the Zhenbei Army? Has he already found out our information?" identity......"
"Probably not."
Commander Zhang shook his head: "The helmsman said that after that incident, everyone's doubts about our sect will disappear, and they will even forget the fact that Princess Changping was distracted by the Taoist master. Through this period of observation, it is true that So. No matter what, the emperor will definitely send people to keep an eye on the two princes secretly. The road of making money through the Zhenbei Army is probably unavailable. I decided to return to the clan after finishing this vote, otherwise things will change later. "
"Okay, I'll inform the brothers."
Sun Shenling nodded.
However, at this moment, the two of them felt a powerful wave of energy coming from a distance, and they appeared outside the military camp in a matter of breaths. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then heard the order from the outer door to come in.
"Commander Zhang, Leader Sun Shen, and the Crown Prince are here!"
The sound came from outside the door, and both of them looked at each other in shock.
"It's Lin Yi. Didn't he go to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons? How come he is here! What the hell is going on!"
Sun Shenling couldn't help but ask.
"Calm down!"
Commander Zhang was also a little panicked by the news. He didn't expect Lin Yi to come.
"We have the sect's secret method set up by the helmsman. We can even deceive the secrets of heaven. Stay calm and everything will go as planned. Now follow me out to greet..."
"The two adults are here to greet you."
At this time, Lin Yi happened to step into the tent, walked directly to the general's chair, and glanced at the bamboo slips on the table, which were all related to the northern border defense incident of the Great Wall.
"Are you Commander Zhang?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly.
"Yes, I, Zhang Yousong, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"
"Your Majesty Sun Datong pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince..."
The two immediately knelt down and saluted.
"It took only half a minute to burn incense after lunch practice, but I started paying attention to border defense matters. Commander Zhang is quite diligent."
"My father once mentioned you to me. Your ancestor once blocked the knife for my ancestor and exchanged his life for his life. Now you are the fifth generation of loyal people. That's why my father asked me if I want to promote you to... ..."
"Promoted to the new King of Zhenbei."
Lin Yi paused deliberately before continuing.
Hearing this, Zhang Yousong raised his head and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. After a while, he hurriedly said: "My lord, please kneel down and thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your recommendation!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat and felt something was wrong.
'This Zhang Yousong is different from what my father described as 'a man of loyalty and integrity who is not greedy for success'. I didn't even say how I answered my father, but he thanked me first. Also, why does Sun Shenling have such a strange expression...'
Lin Yi keenly noticed that when Sun Datong heard that Sun Yousong was to be promoted to the new King of Zhenbei, his expression was stunned for a moment. There was no surprise, but a trace of fright and a trace of doubt, and then he returned to his smile.
His expression changes very quickly, and you really can't tell it unless you pay close attention.
Could it be that this person has different intentions?
Zhang Yousong also felt something was wrong in Lin Yi's eyes, and quickly asked: "I wonder why Your Highness came here this time?"
"It's nothing. Since I executed King Zhenbei and Princess Changping last time, I left the North without having time to deal with the aftermath. At that time, King Zhenbei's gang members were all over the North. I still have doubts in my heart, so come and see."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked slowly: "Has anything special happened in the army in recent days?"
"Something special?"
Zhang Yousong and Sun Datong looked at each other and understood each other. The former said, "Your Highness is worrying too much. Your Majesty has already taken care of the matter that your Highness said before he took up the post of commander."
As he spoke, he took out several volumes of files from the second layer of the bamboo cabinet and placed them on the table in front of Lin Yi.
"Your Highness, the Ministry of War specially sent someone to record this in a file."
"After the death of King Zhenbei, His Majesty first asked the Tiger Guards to bury the two bodies in secret without following royal etiquette. Then, more than ten of King Zhenbei's confidants were all dealt with according to military law and executed in public to scare the monkeys."
"Then, after the high-level generals were identified, they were exchanged with generals from other armies. As a result, the top brass of the Zhenbei Army also underwent a major change. However, His Majesty was afraid of complaints from his subordinates, so he still chose to select from the Zhenbei Army. One person is the commander of the Zhenbei Army, and it was at that time that the villain received the emperor's gift and took the position of commander."
As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of Kyoto, as if to thank the emperor for his grace.
"So, after the villain came to power, he was well aware of His Majesty's concerns and deliberately divided the soldiers' teams. After this move, there were no more chaotic voices in the army about Zhenbei King's rebellion. ..."
"Is it."
Lin Yi was doubtful, so he picked up the file and read it, then threw the file on the table, looked at the two people and asked again: "What is the name of the person who wrote this file, and where is he now?"
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and Sun Datong responded: "Your Highness, this person is from the Ministry of War. After doing this, he left the northern border, but...but I later received According to the news, he was seriously ill and died on his way back to Beijing."
"Oh, it's true."
Lin Yi chuckled, somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Then, Lin Yi looked at Zhang Yousong and his tone became a little cold: "Commander Zhang, you should have read this file carefully, right?"
