When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Qin Yuechuan stared at him: "He's army, battle flag?"

He Xuehuai nodded seriously and stared at what he held in his hand.

"I will never admit my mistakes in this life."

"Prince Rong, can you lend it to me to have a look?"

Qin Yuechuan hesitated for a moment, then said to him, "Come with me."

Qin Yuechuan took him to the study, turned the cloth over, revealing half of the incomplete pattern, which was spread flat on the table, just a corner.

He Xuehuai walked forward to take a closer look, stroking the pattern with his rough fingertips, and took out an old wooden token from his bosom, placed it side by side with the cloth, and showed it to Qin Yuechuan.

"This is what I carved when I was a child, imitating the token in my father's hand. This was my dream when I was young. Although the real He Jiajun token was handed over, I have secretly kept this childhood work until now. After all these years, it is the only thing left by my side."

His eyes were full of nostalgia, and he pushed the token in front of Qin Yuechuan with two fingers.

Qin Yuechuan picked it up and took a closer look. The wooden sign was very small, less than half the size of his palm. Although his knife skills were crude and immature, and the force seemed to be uneven, and the carving was also sloppy, but the general shape did match part of the broken pattern on the cloth. This thing was really the battle flag of the He family army back then.

But why was he among the army at the Qin Zhaolie Imperial Mausoleum?

"So, King Rong, can you tell me where this flag came from?"

"It looks neither new nor old, but it's very clean. It doesn't look like something found in a ruin..."

Some of them seem to be carefully collected and treated.

Qin Yuechuan concentrated on the thing in his hand for a few breaths. Since this matter was related to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, there was no way to avoid it, so he told He Xuehuai about the imperial mausoleum.

"You mean, this was found in the imperial mausoleum?"

"It was not me who went to investigate, so I am not very clear about the details... Qingfeng!"

Qing Feng pushed the door open and walked in. Qin Yuechuan asked directly, "How did you get this thing? Do you know?"

"I seem to have heard from someone hiding inside that I saw it in the hands of the commander inside. I thought it would contain some confidential items. After trying to steal it, I found that it was just a piece of cloth. So I simply used it as the base cloth for drawing a map..."

He Xuehuai said: "The Zhenguogong Mansion has been 'lost' for more than ten years. I'm afraid few people in Kyoto would recognize this thing. Especially since it is so incomplete."

"So, what you mean is..."

"If my guess is correct, there should be remnants of the He family army in the imperial mausoleum. In the battle that year, the He family army suffered heavy casualties, some died and some scattered, but there may be survivors."

Thinking of something, he asked again: "Do you know the commander's name?"

"No one has ever paid attention to his name. We just know that everyone calls him Commander Chen..."

"The surname is Chen..." He Xuehuai murmured, "Are there any other characteristics?"

"The right ear seems to be damaged, and the little finger seems to be broken. I'm not sure whether it's the left or right hand..."

Before he could finish, someone rushed in through the door.

He Xuehuai turned around and saw the person coming. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Chen Song! Don't be so presumptuous! Where do you think you are here!"

Chen Song's face was anxious, and his words were a little unclear: "Please forgive me, Lord Zhenguo. I know my crime, but when I heard the man's appearance, I felt very familiar with him..."

"you……"

He Xuehuai suddenly realized something. That person's surname was also Chen...

"Listen, subordinates, that man looks like my elder brother, Chen Lin, who died in battle a long time ago."

"really?"

He Xuehuai took a step forward and stared at his figure: "How can you be sure?"

"My eldest brother once followed the old Duke of Zhenguo to fight in the battlefield. The enemy cut off his right ear and right little finger. I remember when I went back to visit my family, my mother hugged him and cried for a long time...but I never thought that would be the last time I saw my mother and my eldest brother."

"Duke Zhenguo, my elder brother will not betray the He Family Army. He must have his own reasons. He was proud to join the He Family Army. I am willing to take the risk to sneak in and meet with my elder brother to persuade him."

He Xuehuai asked him: "How do you plan to persuade him?"

"Just tell them that you have returned and are interested in reviving the He family army. Big brother will definitely be happy and will help us."

He Xuehuai considered his words and said, "Chen Song, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that it's been a long time since I last saw you, and I don't know what your elder brother's true state of mind is now."

"Even if he really has this intention, after more than a decade of hardships, it would not be easy to gain his trust with just a few words from you and let him do a job where he could lose his life if he makes a mistake."

Qin Yuechuan added: "If my guess is correct, the news inside is probably blocked, and Commander Chen may not even know whether you have returned."

"However, I have visited him once, and it seems that even though the commander followed Qin Zhaolie, he still has some...conscience."

When Qin Zhaolie was about to test the poison on a living person that day, he saw Commander Chen beside him was somewhat reluctant, but he had to follow the order due to his status and mission.

"I think it's worth a try. If you have a handwritten token or something, maybe you can deliver it for me."

Chen Song nodded and looked at He Xuehuai expectantly.

He Xuehuai pondered: "Handwritten letter...token...where can the Zhenguogong Mansion still have the token?"

"I was not very old at that time, and he probably couldn't recognize my handwriting."

"Besides, even if there is a token and he believes it, it is hard to say how many former members of the He family army are among them. What can he do if it is just Chen Bai alone?"

Qin Yuechuan heard the hidden meaning in his words: "If there are old members of the He family army among them, do you want to gather the He family army again?"

He Xuehuai finally came back to his senses from his thoughts. What he said was somewhat presumptuous. He remembered that Qin Yuechuan had his own plans at first.

In this way, wouldn't he be the one taking over the show?

"I spoke out of turn. This matter still needs the King's say."

"I originally planned to wipe them out in one fell swoop. If I don't train them myself, it's not reliable to use them, and it's impossible for them to be incorporated into the Northern Frontier Army. If there are remnants of the He family army among them, you can recruit them again, and it will save me a lot of worries."

"Is this true?"

"Well, but if we want to revive the He family army, we must make this matter clear in front of the emperor."

"We still need to take a long-term view at this time."

There was a brief silence between the two.

Standing and sitting, time seems to stand still at this moment.

He Xuehuai was the first to break the silence: "To recruit the He family army, do you trust me so much?"

Qin Yuechuan played with the wooden token in his hand with his slender five fingers, looked up at him, and said vaguely: "Privately making a military token is a capital crime. If I take this thing, who will care whether it is a childhood work or a deliberate reproduction."

"you will not."

"Oh, do you trust me so much?"

The same tone, the same words, Qin Yuechuan raised his lips and returned them to him intact.

When their eyes meet, no words are needed, as they understand each other tacitly.

Rather than saying it is trust, it is better to say that both of them are just one person.

He Xuehuai asked, "You just said that you have explored the interior? Do you know other secret passages leading to the imperial mausoleum? How many troops can sneak in?"

"The secret passage that I entered can only accommodate a few people, and it was heavily guarded. I was discovered that day and was almost exposed. If a person or a horse were to sneak in, it would probably be impossible..."

"Really..." He Xuehuai was slightly disappointed: "I was thinking that if I could bring a team of people to cooperate with us, maybe we would have a better chance of winning..."

"It would be nice if there was another secret passage..."

Qin Yuechuan thought of something, "This is not completely impossible. I do know another secret passage... Maybe it should be feasible to sneak in from that road, but that road is really too dangerous."

He Xuehuai felt hopeful and immediately became excited: "How do you say it?"

"That passage is filled with miasma and is connected to the miasma jungle outside. I almost died here last time."

"then you……"

"I escaped with the poison-repelling sachet that Yueyue made."

"The poison-repelling sachet made by Yueyue..."

He Xuehuai then remembered the real purpose of coming here today: "Where's Yueyue! I want to see her. You guys are too worrying!"

There were footsteps outside the door. Xu Xinyue poked her head in and smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, I heard you were looking for me..."
