After Beixiang was defeated by Prince Gong, it was indeed quiet for a long time.

In the previous life, most of Yongjin's military forces were transferred to fight against the Southern Barbarians, but at this time Beixiang launched a large-scale attack on the north side of Yongjin, forming a pincer attack from the north and the south.

The people of Beixiang are treacherous, and others will gain nothing by fighting against them. However, many years ago, they were defeated by the troops led by Prince Gong. In the face of insufficient troops, Your Majesty had to use Prince Gong's trump card, which he did not want to use.

Prince Gong, as always, commanded the army with great skill, and within just over a month, Beixiang was defeated. However, it was just a case of getting rid of the donkey after it had served its purpose.

After Prince Gong returned to the capital, what he received was not the reward from His Majesty, but an imperial edict stating that Prince Gong had colluded with the Beixiang royal family and sold the topographic map. His Majesty, considering the brotherly love between the two, could pardon the death penalty, but could not escape punishment for life. Prince Gong was finally confined in the Prince's Mansion.

Not long after His Majesty's death, he also died of illness, but Lin Tingwan felt that it must not be that simple. Perhaps His Majesty was clearing obstacles for Pei Yanli.

Not long after Prince Gong's death, his mansion was burned down and no one survived. It seemed like a murder to silence the witnesses.

After saying this, Lin Mingqian was stunned. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before slowly looking up. "Yangyang, Dad is a minister, and Your Majesty is the king. There is a difference between the king and the minister. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. If there really is such a day in the future, Dad will be happy with it."

Lin Tingwan looked at him steadily, "But if one day His Majesty wants me to die, or my brother to die, what will Dad do?"

He didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, Lin Mingqian nodded and said, "I will think about what you said today in the next few days."

Lin Tingwan knew that the most important things in his heart were her and her brother. As long as she said this, he would definitely think about it carefully.

Lin Yuehong's health has improved a lot in the past few days and he can already get out of bed.

Lin Tingwan went to his yard with the medicine cup as usual, but he never expected to see He Shiyi dancing with sword in the yard.

He took a step forward, and the sword in his hand swayed with his movements, causing a flying sword light. With a dull thud, the wooden stake in front of him was split in half.

In an instant, the sword light became faster and faster, the sword light crisscrossed, and the sword energy flew like a violent storm. He turned his body and the long sword drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Lin Tingwan had learned a few moves from Lin Mingqian, but they were just mediocre skills. The moves of He Shiyi were those of a true master.

After a long while, he slowly stopped and put away his sword. He had seen her a long time ago and walked quickly to her side. Seeing Lin Tingwan's dazed look, he asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Tingwan's eyes flashed, if she had such a high level of swordsmanship, she would never let those young ladies who came to the capital city bully her even if she returned. In her previous life, she suffered because she was afraid of getting tired while practicing martial arts, so she only learned the basics and rarely used them later.

"Can you teach me swordsmanship?"

He Shiyi looked at her in surprise, "Why did you think of learning this?"

"To protect myself."

"With General Lin and General Zhonglang here, they will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

Lin Tingwan looked depressed, "But Dad and brother can't always be by my side, like this time when we went deep into the Nanman enemy camp."

He Shiding stared at her for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach you."

Lin Tingwan smiled happily, "Is my brother in there?"

"He has just gone to the barracks."

Lin Tingwan frowned slightly, "He hasn't recovered yet, how can he act like this?"

"Zhonglangjiang's wound has almost healed. He must be bored staying in the house all day. It would be a good idea for him to go out for a walk."

Lin Tingwan nodded, but said nothing in the end. His bright eyes stared at the long sword at He Shiyi's waist.

"Want to learn?"

Lin Tingwan nodded heavily.

He Shiyi took a long sword from the house and handed it to her.

The two men stood on the lawn, holding swords.

The sunlight shines on them, making them sparkle.

He Shiyi's sword moves were powerful and his footwork was agile. He chopped, cut and stabbed. The strong sound of breaking through the air was like a gust of wind, leaving only an afterimage.

After he stopped, Lin Tingwan waved his sword and imitated He Shiyi. In a short while, he had imitated He Shiyi's movements so well that even he was surprised.

He Shiyi waved the sword and taught her the next moves. In just one afternoon, she had learned all the moves of this set of sword techniques.

"It's useless even if you know the moves. You don't have enough strength. Come to me tomorrow and practice your strength and lower body."

"it is good."

The setting sun dyed half the sky red. After Lin Tingwan said goodbye to He Shiyi, she returned to her courtyard.

Yuzhu was shocked to see her coming back with a sword in her hand, full of murderous intent. She asked nervously, "Miss, has anyone upset you?"

Lin Tingwan looked at her in surprise and said, "No." After saying that, she turned and went into the house.

……

In just half a day, the wind direction in Liangzhou City changed.

I don’t know why the news of Pei Yanli in the city was exposed, and the wise and brave General Lin in the eyes of the people became His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince tricked the Nanman into retreating. His Royal Highness the Prince is extremely shrewd, and it is Yongjin's blessing to have him. This news spread like wildfire.

When hearing Changfeng's report, the look in Pei Yanli's eyes became more profound and his brows became more furrowed.

He was not stupid, and he knew exactly where the news came from, but he also knew that Lin Mingqian was not someone who would come up with such a plan.

There must be an expert guiding him behind the scenes.

If it was his previous life who was here now, he would inevitably think too much, but he saw it clearly in his previous life, and he knew in his heart that the Lin family had never collaborated with the enemy or committed treason, and it was someone else who committed treason.

The Lin family has always been loyal to the Pei royal family, so he didn't think too much about it, but the person behind the scenes was somewhat judging others by his own standards."

Pei Yanli had a complicated expression, "Changfeng, go check who General Lin has met and what he has said in recent days, and find out who started those rumors in Liangzhou."

"Yes."

At this time, the situation in the South was not peaceful either.

There were many barbarian spies hiding in Liangzhou, and the news of Pei Yanli's presence inevitably reached their ears.

General Enhe and General Shaobu could not avoid being condemned by the public.

If they took advantage of the lack of troops in Liang Province and attacked Liang Province in one fell swoop, the Prince of Yongjin would have been killed by them. Otherwise, if they used him to exchange for food and fodder, they would surely be able to eat for several winters.

In response, Enhe and Shaobu just listened quietly without saying a word.

Perhaps they had long forgotten that a few days ago, they could not even get a mouthful of rice in Nanman.
