Qi Yue was speechless.

"General Guan, I don't understand."

Guan Yidao said nothing, reached into his arms, took out a paper bag and handed it over.

Qi Yue followed his instructions and opened the paper package.

Inside was a slightly worn envelope that had obviously been read hundreds of times.

Subconsciously, Qi Yue almost thought this was a last note from her lover?

Otherwise, who would be so idle with nothing to do, turning over and over again to read a letter?

Suspiciously, I turned to the front and saw a few words clearly written on it.

Longhu Junguan personally sealed it with a sword, and the signature was his brother Qi Yunchang.

When I opened the letter, I found that the letter paper inside was even more tattered than the envelope, and some of the creases were almost broken.

"General Guan, are you really—planning to let me see this letter?"

Qi Yue was a little unsure.

"I've never been interested in secrets."

As he said this, he felt a little excited in his heart.

"Of course, after you read it, it's no longer a secret." Guan Yidao's calmness made Qi Yue feel a little inexplicably depressed.

She carefully opened the envelope and was shocked to find that there was only one sentence on the paper.

It's just one sentence, and it has nothing to do with gossip.

[Withdraw the flank immediately after receiving the letter, the military order is like a mountain! 】

What is this all about?

Qi Yue threw the letter back to Guan Yidao irritably.

He immediately picked it up in a panic, like a young daughter-in-law embroidering, carefully put the letter back as it was, and put it back in his arms again.

"General Guan, I still don't understand what you mean. Can you just tell me if you have something?"

Guan Yidao then spoke slowly.

Six years ago, King Qi of Nanyue Kingdom ascended the throne as emperor. In June of the same year, he led 20 cavalry to land on the south side of Longnan Ridge from Nanling Bay.

Qi Yunchang was ordered to intercept. He led the Longhu Army to station here. It took him three months to set up a heavy ambush in Yunling in the south, preparing to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, forcing the Nanyue army to retreat.

Unexpectedly, just as the plan was about to be implemented, Guan Yidao, who was in charge of guarding the right wing, suddenly received this letter and asked him to evacuate immediately.

As the letter said, military orders are like mountains.

Even if Guan Yidao had doubts in his heart, he had to follow the order and withdraw.

He originally thought Qi Yunchang had some better arrangements, but after he withdrew, he found that all the plans had gone ahead as before.

At the same time, Guan Yidao also discovered that dozens of other generals or deputy generals had also received letters of retreat, and they all survived as a result.

Only Qi Yunchang never came back.

Soon came the news that Nanyue's army had retreated, and the battle of Yunling was a great victory.

The emperor awarded the deceased Qi Yunchang unlimited honor and glory, and the other survivors received varying degrees of rewards.

"So?" Qi Yue spread her hands. She didn't quite understand what Guan Yidao wanted to express.

Things are over, what can we do if we bring up old things again?

Qi Yue's indifferent attitude obviously angered Guan Yidao.

"Qi Yue, don't you think there is a problem here?"

"If we had not retreated according to the letter, there is no chance that your father would have died."

"He's your father, and you don't want to know what happened to him at all?"

Guan Yidao was very excited, and the wound on his eyebrow arch slid violently, a bit ferocious.

Qi Yue suddenly felt that the general who took advantage of her father seemed to have an extraordinary brotherly love for her father.

Very stubborn and very respectable.

She stopped arguing with him about the issue and just raised her delicate eyebrows.

"Then what Commander General Guan means is that you want me to find out about this matter?"

Obviously, Guan Yidao did not expect that she would change so quickly. He was startled when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses and his expression became much more relaxed.

"Yes. This is also the reason why I didn't let you kill the money and make two."

After a pause, he lowered his voice.

"I won't hide it from you now. I suspect that your father's death may be related to bad people. I have been investigating the people related to this matter over the years, and Qian Faliang is one of them..."

Before he could speak, Qi Yue interrupted.

"General Guan, everyone in the world knows that my father died a hero and was loyal to the country. Now you are saying that his death was related to a notorious bad guy. What if in the end, it turns out that things are not what you thought?" how?"

When Guan Yidao heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Qi Yue, what will your father find out if he has a reputation all his life? What he needs is the truth! You are his daughter and it is your responsibility to find out all this!"

"The truth?" Qi Yue couldn't help but raise her voice, "What truth do you want? The truth is that he has earned his reputation both before and after him. Isn't that enough?"

Guan Yidao was speechless when asked, angrily dropped a word, turned and left.

"You!...You don't look like his daughter!"

Qi Yue curled her lips.

Doesn’t it just look different?

Not at all!

She didn't understand. This Qi Yunchang was loyal to the country and died a worthy death. What else is there to investigate?

It’s not like he died unjustly because of his infamy!

Do you really think she has nothing to do?

For the next two days, I just focused on traveling.

Guan Yidao ignored Qi Yue, and Qi Yue ignored Guan Yidao.

It was already the end of autumn, but as we walked further inside, we could feel the temperature gradually rising.

In her previous life, Qi Yue had lived in the south for many years and had long been accustomed to this humid and hot weather.

But the people in the exiled team will be miserable.

Many people said they were out of breath and felt like they were suffocating.

A group of black mosquitoes and ants flew in the sky from time to time.

From a distance, it looks like a dark mass. When the black clouds fly up to your eyes, you can see that they are all mosquitoes with big wings.

There are at least thousands of the smallest black clouds.

In addition, there are many unknown and mysterious things crawling in the weeds everywhere.

All kinds of scenes frightened these golden nobles who had just arrived from the prosperous capital.

Qi Yue picked up some herbs and made herbal bags for everyone to take with them.

With the special sachets, everyone finally avoided the mosquitoes.

Just such a small gesture made everyone's favor towards Qiyue once again rise to the highest level.

Some brave ones spontaneously ran to Qi Yue and complained to Qi Fengzhang.

"Miss Qi, we want to apologize to you and ask you to forgive us. In fact, when we wronged you in the past, it was your second uncle who deliberately provoked us."

"Miss Qi, we have blind eyes but cannot see the mountains. You are a good person!"

"Miss Qi, you have to be careful about your second uncle. I don't think he is a good person, and he might harm you at some point."

"Miss Qi, we have already beaten up your second uncle. Next time he dares to speak ill of you, we will not believe him."

"..."

Qi Yue just responded to everyone's kindness.

As for Qi Fengzhang, she doesn't plan to do anything to him for a while.

No matter what, we have to find out whose spy he is and what his agenda is?

After several days of this, we finally arrived at the destination of this exile.

Guan Yidao handed them over to the yamen responsible for managing the exiles, and the task was completed.

Then, the supervisory office assigns them where to go.

The shackled death row prisoners were all taken to Nanling.

Nanling is backed by a bay, and their mission is to fish for pearls.

Qi Yue and the others were going to Beiling, and their main job was to cut down trees and burn wasteland.

Zhang Zhao was a repeat offender and was taken to Nanling.

But before leaving, he once again entrusted Cong Zhonglan and his two children to Qi Yue.

After the distribution was completed, the Supervision Office sent officials to take them to their respective places. Qi Yue and his group were at the place closest to the forest.
