Butler Bai brought in tea for everyone. Lin Mingqian sat at the first seat, and Lin Yuehong stood beside him, calling everyone uncles and aunts in a sweet voice.

Outside the military camp, these people are all Lin Yuehong's elders without exception.

So he can be considered respectful.

"Yue Hong is getting more and more capable as he grows older." The man laughed, "I was gradually losing to him when he competed with me a few days ago."

Lin Yuehong didn't say much after hearing this, he just stood aside with a smile.

As the son of Lin Mingqian, he had enjoyed many things that others had never enjoyed since he was a child, but even so, he was also put in many shackles.

He knew that these people were not really trying to fight him. Before he really fought against the Nanman, he once thought that his martial arts were unparalleled in the world.

But only after he really went to the battlefield did he realize that he was a frog in a well, and these people were just looking to take advantage of others.

Just because he is Lin Mingqian's son, most people would not really do anything to him. The higher the official position, the more so. They don't want to offend Lin Mingqian from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Yuehong was just an ordinary person, and that was why he was extremely arrogant for a while. But he soon returned to normal under the guidance of Lin Mingqian.

But even so, he still saw everyone's faces clearly.

There were no officers in the entire military camp with whom he had close friendships, only the soldiers under him. They were often much more sincere than those who were only interested in climbing the social ladder.

This is also what Lin Yuehong truly likes from the bottom of his heart.

He just stood there, smiled and nodded, without saying anything else.

"Thank you for your help, General. We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts."

The leader said, shouting, "Bring it up!"

As he spoke, someone came in carrying a few mahogany boxes. Lin Mingqian was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but he quickly reacted and waved his hand and said, "Take these things back. I won't accept them."

"General, this is a token of our appreciation." A group of people said word by word, and their tone was extremely sincere.

Lin Mingqian remained unmoved. Finally, when someone was trying to persuade them, he spoke up, "Do you want to kill me? Why did you bring the things to me when you knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was investigating the matter?"

"General, please understand that we absolutely do not mean that." Everyone looked at each other and I began to explain.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I can't help you in any way." Lin Mingqian said this truly, but the group of people in front of him had already gone berserk long ago, and no one believed what he said at this moment.

"What are you talking about, General?"

Another man reached out and patted him, and the man stopped talking. "The general is right. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Everyone nodded.

Lin Mingqian frowned slightly in displeasure. This matter had nothing to do with him, but in the mouths of these people, he became the instigator.

He really couldn't figure out whether these people sought his help in the first place because they wanted to ask for his help or to put the blame on him.

"But General, if we were to say, what Lieutenant General Wu did in this matter was a bit unkind." The man rolled his eyes and spoke.

At that time, Lin Mingqian was the one who was most opposed to their cause, namely, Deputy General Wu. Now that everything is fine, everyone is trying to find a way to bring him down.

But everyone underestimated the relationship between Lin Mingqian and Deputy General Wu. He nodded slowly and laughed, "Deputy General Wu naturally has no bad intentions."

"General, what are you talking about?" Everyone laughed. "Fortunately, the general was kind this time. Otherwise, if he had listened to Deputy General Wu, he would not have done this. We might have suffered."

"Yes, by then the general will have lost many capable men."

Lin Yuehong was listening at the side and couldn't help but feel a little strange. How come he didn't know what everyone was talking about?

At this moment, Lin Mingqian seemed to suddenly remember him and slowly said, "Yue Hong, you go out first."

"father--"

Lin Yuehong frowned slightly. It was like this every time. It was fine before, but now that he was getting older, he was still not allowed to know these things. He felt very aggrieved.

"I--"

Before he could finish his words, Lin Mingqian waved his hand and said, "Get out! Don't make me say it for the third time." His tone was serious, but Lin Yuehong knew that this was Lin Mingqian's ultimatum to him.

If he doesn't respond, Lin Mingqian might punish him later.

He was not the favored Lin Tingwan, and the whip would hit him hard. In the end, Lin Yuehong had to grit his teeth and retreat.

The last thing he heard before he left was, "Lieutenant General Wu was disloyal to you, General. He was trying to sell out his master for glory, General—"

Lin Yuehong was a little confused. He stopped and prepared to listen to what was being said in the room. At this moment, Butler Bai came out.

"Master——"

Lin Yuehong tried to make Butler Bai shut up, but he spoke directly, as if on purpose. He immediately realized that he was on guard against him.

So Lin Yuehong smiled and said, "Butler Bai." Then he turned around and left.

He slowly walked into the backyard, but he was still thinking about what had just happened in the house, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

"Brother?" He was awakened by Lin Tingwan's voice.

Lin Yuehong slowly came back to his senses and turned to look at Lin Tingwan, saying, "Yangyang, why are you up? It's cold now, how can you walk around when you have a cold?"

Lin Tingwan couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother, I've recovered a long time ago, you don't have to worry. You know how good my body was when I was in Liangzhou."

As soon as she finished speaking, the memories of both of them were instantly brought back to the time in Liangzhou. At that time, Lin Tingwan was not like he was now, staying in the backyard.

Practicing martial arts with him from time to time, riding horses in the desert from time to time, their lives were much more carefree than they are now. Sometimes Lin Yuehong even felt that they should belong to Liangzhou.

Instead of the Shangjing City where everyone needs to be scheming to survive.

Seeing that Lin Yuehong was in a low mood, Lin Tingwan asked worriedly, "What happened to you? Didn't we have guests at the mansion? Why did you come out alone? Aren't you going to accompany Dad to entertain the guests?"

Lin Tingwan originally said this to comfort Lin Yuehong, but he didn't expect that after saying this, he seemed even more sad.

He shook his head slowly and said, "Dad let me out."

As soon as he said this, Lin Tingwan guessed what was going on. She narrowed her brows slightly and asked tentatively, "Why did Dad kick you out? After all, you are officials in the same court."
