After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

There was chaos at the border, and Wen Yichen should have taken his troops to the border to fight as soon as possible.

However, he knew from the letter Jin Ran gave him and the information he collected.

The people of the Rong tribe will definitely set up an ambush on the route they must take.

By then, they can capture them all without any effort.

In order to protect everyone, there was no choice but to find a new route.

This route is definitely not as fast as taking the same route.

However, this road also has one advantage, which is that the mountain road is quite steep along the way.

If you want to set up an ambush in these places, it would be impossible.

This will ensure that their casualties during the march are minimized.

Wen Yichen led these people across countless mountains.

Even when I was on the road, I ate less each time in order to reduce food consumption.

They didn't actually bring much food and fodder, and the journey was quite long.

The people of the Rong tribe ambushed near Shanhaiguan for three or four days, but found that no army from the Dayun Dynasty came.

They immediately told Jin Feng, and Jin Feng knew that if they took this road, they would definitely pass by here.

This is the fastest way to reach the border.

Since the border was in chaos, they had no choice but to take this route in order to quickly reach the battlefield.

But Jin Feng and his companions had been waiting on this road for more than ten days, but no one came.

Not only that, ever since the coup in the court, Wen Yiheng has been hoping that Wen Yichen would never come back this time.

He kept sending people to check along the obvious routes to see whether Wen Yichen had passed by.

The spies told him that Wen Yichen did not follow the route he reported.

When Wen Yiheng heard the news, he was lying in the rocking chair, looking very leisurely.

After hearing the news, he collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

He immediately wrote a letter to the Rong tribe without stopping. He knew very well that there were two ways to the border.

Wen Yichen didn't take this path, so he must have taken another path!

When he sent the letter, my people immediately intercepted it back.

As I looked at the letter, I felt like the stone in my heart had finally fallen to the ground.

I always thought that Wen Yichen would choose another path, but I was never sure!

Now that I have read this letter, I truly believe that my judgment was correct.

I imitated Wen Yiheng's handwriting and told the people of the Rong tribe.

The army of Dayun Dynasty was just delayed on the road. They are still taking the original route, so you can rest assured.

Only after I sent this letter did I manage to get a good night's sleep.

Wen Yichen was smart after all. During the march, he felt a little unsafe and took two detours.

Although the route is a bit roundabout, it is still very confusing.

Jin Feng also felt something was wrong, and he kept sending people to various checkpoints to gather information.

There was indeed such news, but it appeared and disappeared at times, which made him feel uneasy.

Jin Feng decided to give it a try and set up an ambush at Riyue Pass.

Riyue Pass is also the only way from Dayun Dynasty to Yecheng.

The inspection at Riyue Pass has always been the strictest among all the checkpoints.

Although the terrain of Riyue Pass is flat, it is not suitable for ambush.

But what everyone doesn’t know is that the vast majority of the common people imprisoned in Riyue Prison are former troops of the Rong Tribe.

Thirty years ago, Wen Shang led his troops to drive the people of the Rong tribe back to the border.

At that time, many troops of the Rong tribe took the opportunity to sneak into the Dayun Dynasty and settled down in Riyue Pass.

This was originally a plan, and it just happened to come in handy today.

Wen Yichen knew that there was an ambush at Shanhaiguan, so he deliberately avoided it.

When he arrived at Sun and Moon Pass, Wen Yichen felt a lot more at ease.

Everyone in the world knows that the inspection at Riyue Pass is the most stringent, and everyone feels that it is impossible for some people from the Rong tribe to appear here.

These troops of the Rong tribe have been living and working in peace and contentment in Riyue Pass over the years.

They have already integrated into the life of Dayun Dynasty so long ago that it is almost difficult to distinguish them.

Those people in Riyueguan are actually communicating with each other privately, but it is just more secretive!

When Wen Yichen arrived at Sun and Moon Pass, he relaxed a little and let the troops have a good rest here.

The soldiers were already exhausted after the long journey, and many of them had not slept for several nights.

Everyone knows that this is the safest place, so they all come here to relax and rest.

In the evening, some people came to the place where Wen Yichen and his men were stationed to cause trouble.

Wen Yichen originally wanted to sleep and rest well before continuing his journey.

Unexpectedly, the noise outside was so loud that he had to go out to deal with it.

Wen Yichen looked at the man who came to cause trouble. He was leaning on a cane, had dark skin, and spoke in a dialect.

It looks no different from ordinary people, but if you look closely.

The old man's eyes were too bright, and they didn't look like the eyes of an ordinary person.

The old man immediately cried out, "How can you, as a soldier, do this?

Is there any law left? Come and have a look!

These people in the army actually stole my things this afternoon when my wife and I were not at home.

They stole our food!

How could you do such a thing! "

The more Wen Yichen listened, the more he frowned. How could someone in the army do such a thing?

Everyone hadn't slept for several days, so when they got here, they went to rest in groups, while the others kept watch.

Wen Yichen had no choice but to drag his tired body and ask patiently: "This old man, you said that our army stole your food.

Do you have any evidence? You said we stole it, but where did we steal it?

It's impossible to slander someone without any evidence, right? "

The old man yelled in a dialect: "Why isn't it you?

Before you came, we left our doors unlocked at night and no one lost anything.

As soon as you came, the food in my house was lost. You say it wasn't you who did it, then who else could have done it?

I know it's not easy for you to defend your country, but you can't just take our food.

Tell me, how can we live like this?

You can’t let us starve to death!”

Wen Yichen finally understood that this person was here to scam people. But more and more people were watching the show.

Many people pointed fingers at Wen Yichen because many people also found that food was missing from their homes, although not much.

But this behavior made them feel angry.

More and more people came forward and said: "Don't tell me. This afternoon, I went back and found that there was a lot less food in my house!

It has been so many years, and I have never encountered a thief!

We didn't expect that the army came to protect us.

But I didn't expect that I would secretly become a thief. This is really embarrassing."

Wen Yichen looked at the crowd moving around and knew that he had to calm them down.

Wen Yichen quickly said: "Dear fellow villagers, we are going to the border this time, so we naturally brought enough food and fodder.

It is impossible for them to steal your food. Our soldiers have not slept for several days because of the journey.

As soon as we arrived at Sun and Moon Pass today, I let them rest.

They can’t possibly steal your food. There must be some misunderstanding.”

The old man started the commotion again, saying, "Misunderstanding? Then what do you think we should do about this?"

It's impossible that our food was lost without any reason and you just don't care, right?

You said you didn't steal it, so why don't you catch the thief for us?

Aren’t you defending your country?

Then catching thieves is also within your scope of responsibility, right?

If I don't get to the bottom of this matter, I won't let you go.

Even if it costs me my life, I want to find out whether you stole it or not."

Wen Yichen just felt his head buzzing. He had been thinking of resting here for a day so that he could go directly to the border.

Having encountered such a thing, he definitely can't leave.

But with so many people in this army, it’s not a good idea to keep them here.

He also had to deal with the old man's problem now, otherwise the army's reputation would be ruined.

The military’s credibility will also deteriorate.

The whispers of the people around him hurt Wen Yichen's heart.

Wen Yichen immediately assured: "Dear fellow villagers, this matter started when we arrived here.

Then we will definitely check it out before leaving.

We will not take things from ordinary people, nor do we want to bear this stigma.

Please rest assured, I promise that I will give you justice before I leave.

I am the third prince of the Dayun Dynasty, and I must keep my word, otherwise I will be struck by lightning."

The old man gave up only after receiving the affirmation, but he also left a message: "I will definitely come to see you tomorrow.

Don't even think about running away in the middle of the night. Otherwise, we will not let you leave Sun Moon Pass!"

Wen Yichen was stunned. He didn't expect it to be an ordinary citizen.

It's a bit unbelievable that someone would say such a thing.

Wen Yichen saw that the way he spoke was not like what an ordinary person would say, but rather like what a prestigious person in the past would say.

Wen Yichen had many questions in his mind, but he also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper.

Wen Yichen nodded woodenly, then after comforting the old man, he told everyone to disperse quickly.

After the crowd had dispersed, Wen Yichen quietly returned to his room.

He himself realized that what happened today was too outrageous.

Especially the old man, his eyes and behavior are totally unlike what an ordinary citizen should be like.

The old man actually looks more like someone who has been in a military camp.

Wen Yichen didn't sleep well the whole night. He originally wanted to ask his people to investigate it thoroughly.

But when I thought about how these people hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, I let them rest first.

On the second day, Wen Yichen immediately told Luo Chen and other people who were accompanying him the news.

My grandfather is really old and had some difficulty coming last time, so he didn’t come this time.

However, other generals who had fought with him for many years came along.

After a few people discussed it, they felt that something was not right.

Several middle-aged generals knew at first glance that these people were probably going to cause trouble, and they wanted Wen Yichen to evacuate quickly.

Wen Yichen waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid this situation is all aimed at me.

If I leave this time, what about next time?

I'm afraid I can't avoid it, so I'll wait and see what's going on!"

Wen Yichen took another look. These generals were naturally more experienced in marching and fighting.

Wen Yichen clasped his hands together and saluted, then begged: "Generals! The war here is getting more and more intense.

The soldiers stationed at the border may not be able to hold out for much longer.

I implore all the generals to lead their troops to provide support first.

But everyone had to be careful along the way. The Rong tribe already had spies in the court.

Now they are also thinking of stirring up trouble, and I'm afraid they have already made preparations.

Everybody be careful.

I'll stay and take care of things here."

The generals looked at each other in surprise. No one expected Wen Yichen to say that.

After all, Wen Yichen is a prince. If anything happens to him, the generals know that it will be difficult to explain when they return.

Everyone has some difficulties.

Luo Chen also stood up and said, "Third Prince, if something unexpected happens to you here, what should we do?"

Wen Yichen immediately shouted: "But we still have soldiers and civilians at the border.

Compared to me, they are more important.

There is no room for negotiation on this matter.

You must get ready to set off immediately. Their target is me. I want to see what they want to do!

Just leave me a small number of people.

Take the rest with you to the border!

This is an order! "

Everyone understood Wen Yichen's good intentions, so they packed up and prepared to leave.

Just as I was about to leave, the old man from last night came again.

When the old man saw that our army was preparing to set off, he immediately stopped Wen Yichen.

With tears and snot, he recounted: "Last night, didn't you say that you would settle the matter before leaving?

But why are you packing up and getting ready to leave now?

Could it be that yesterday they were just trying to trick me, an old man?

Everyone, come and see, our army is now trying to fool the people.

I'm afraid they don't really want to go to the battlefield to fight, right?"

This immediately made Wen Yichen angry, and he immediately scolded: "I told you calmly yesterday that I would give you an explanation before leaving.

There are so many people here, are they just wasting time on this?

If the border can't be defended, the people of the Rong tribe will attack.

Not to mention food, you will even lose your lives.

It’s up to you to decide what is more important!

They went to the border, and I stayed behind to find out the truth for you. Isn't that enough?

Or do you think that so many troops are staying here just for you? What is your intention?"
