How dare the cannon fodder be arrogant

It was confirmed that the Ulan League did not send troops, but the Jingbei Army brought back a thousand high-quality war horses during this trip, so it can't be regarded as returning empty-handed.

Riding the night, Xiao Lingfeng and Zhuang Qingyue returned to the camp one step ahead of the army, and ordered people to widen the racecourse again, preparing to receive the horses.

At dawn, the army returned to camp.

The rejected horses at the gate of the camp were all removed, leaving a wide road for the horses to pass.Qin Jiu and Shitou drove the horses in the direction of the racecourse.

The soldiers in the camp got up early to practice, and now seeing this large number of tall war horses, they were all amazed.

It's not that I haven't seen a war horse before, it's just that this war horse was picked up for nothing from the enemy, so I'm doubly happy.

The soldiers on duty at the horse farm worked so enthusiastically that they didn't even feel cold even in the heavy snow.

After arranging the horses in the racecourse, Qin Jiule ran up to Zhuang Qingyue and asked his son for credit.

Zhuang Qingyue glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "Reward?"

Hearing the displeasure in Zhuang Qingyue's tone, Qin Jiu scratched his ears and cheeks, but couldn't figure out why his son was angry.

"Mr. Qin deserves a reward for his great achievements." Xiao Lingfeng interrupted.

Zhuang Qingyue looked at Qin Jiu twice, until Qin Jiu's hair stood on end, then turned her head and suggested to Xiao Lingfeng: "Since the prince wants a reward, I will ask Qin Jiu for an errand."

Xiao Lingfeng raised his eyebrows: "What errand?"

Zhuang Qingyue smiled: "This Qin Jiu alone can lead a thousand horses, it is indeed a talent."

Qin Jiu felt bad in his heart.

Then I heard Zhuang Qingyue continue: "Why don't you put him in the horse farm and become the head of the stable? This way, he can not only give full play to his strengths, but also contribute to the Jingbei Army. What does the prince think?"

The prince thought it made sense, so he immediately ordered Qin Jiu to be a stable chief.

With a satisfactory result, Zhuang Qingyue turned her head to look at Qin Jiu, and asked kindly, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this reward from the prince?"

"Satisfied, satisfied. This subordinate is very satisfied." Qin Jiu said with a sullen face, wanting to cry, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, thank you for your kindness."

On the other side of the camp, in the tent where Ales was being held, Xiao Qi had just delivered the food to Ales when he heard the noise outside.

He poked his head out and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard on duty outside the tent smiled and whispered: "The prince responded, and brought back a lot of horses."

He pouted into the tent: "I even brought back that mount."

As soon as he heard that the prince had brought back a new war horse, Xiao Qi couldn't stand still.Thinking of the results of the investigation that the prince ordered him to investigate earlier, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and with a small note in his arms, he walked towards the direction of the king's tent as soon as he turned around.

Before leaving, he did not forget to order the soldiers guarding Ales in the tent to be on duty carefully.

After Xiao Qi left, Alesi, who was bowing his head and closing his eyes in the tent, opened his eyes thoughtfully.

Suddenly, the figure around him swayed twice and approached him quietly.

Ale Si tensed up for a moment, looking warily at the person coming.Could it be that someone wanted to assassinate him to silence him?

But he saw the Dajing soldier who was in charge of guarding him in the tent kneeling on one knee, bowing his head in a respectful gesture.

"General." The man spoke, but what he said was not the official language of Dajingchao, but the language of the Xile League, "Our people have been arranged, and we will take you out tonight."

Ales was puzzled, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"The High Priest sent me to wait." The man stretched out his hands above his head, and the palm was made of sapphire, with spikes as long as two knuckles.

It is the token of the high priest.

Alesi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that man lowered his head a little lower: "General, please forgive me for being late."

"Get up first." Ales said, "What is your plan, tell me."

Inside the handsome tent...

Zhuang Qingyue's body was not as strong as Xiao Lingfeng's, and she was exhausted after running around all night.

After struggling to return to the handsome tent, he yawned as soon as he entered the door, and was pushed by Xiao Lingfeng to rest inside.

When the two of them talked last night, Xiao Lingfeng had already shown enough kindness toward Zhuang Qingyue.

Although Zhuang Qingyue couldn't figure out where Xiao Lingfeng's trust in him came from for a moment, but when facing Xiao Lingfeng, she was a little more sincere.

At least they are no longer as polite and alienated as they used to be.

Xiao Lingfeng was very satisfied with this.

After Zhuang Qingyue fell asleep, Xiao Lingfeng returned to the desk, and before he had time to start dealing with military affairs, Xiao Qi's loud voice rang out from outside the tent.

"My lord, my lord, Xiao Qi asks to see you."

Xiao Lingfeng frowned: "Come in."

Xiao Qi lifted the curtain and just leaned halfway in, when he wanted to say something, Xiao Lingfeng stopped him: "Be quieter. The military master is trying to catch up on sleep."

When he said this, Xiao Lingfeng himself lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the person in the middle and making people unhappy again.

Xiao Qi's face collapsed in an instant, and he endured the thought of complaining about Zhuang Qingyue's difficulty in serving him, and stepped forward to discuss business with Xiao Lingfeng.

"My lord, the matter you asked me to investigate with Shitou earlier has the result." He took out the note in his arms and handed it to Xiao Lingfeng, "Not only in the past year, but in the past three years, the list of newly enlisted personnel with suspicious origins is all Here it is."

Seeing Xiao Lingfeng take the paper and read it carefully, Xiao Qi puffed out his chest and assured him: "The list is definitely prepared, and there is absolutely no surprise."

"Not bad." Xiao Lingfeng read the list from the beginning to the end, and sure enough, he saw a few names he had an impression of.

He picked up the vermilion pen, drew red circles on the names of those people, and then returned the note to Xiao Qi: "These people, keep an eye on them."

Although these people respected Zhuang Qingyue as a son, he did not forget what Alesi said, among the remnants of the rebels in the previous dynasty, there was a leader called "Sir".

Zhuang Qingyue promised that she would not collude with foreigners like those behind him, but that "sir" obviously didn't think so.

So, are these people under Zhuang Qingyue's hands his people, or that "Mr." people?

If you are not sure now, then it is better to keep an eye on everything.

Xiao Qi took the list and saw the names checked out on it. Only now did he know that his prince knew the existence of these "nails", and he couldn't help but admire for a while.

He took the order and put the note away.

Thinking of his own selfishness when he came here, he asked tentatively: "My lord, I heard that you and General Zhao brought the war horses from the Naxi Le League? You also brought back thousands of horses?"

Since he was a child, he has loved to dance with knives, sticks, horses, horses and archery, and he is most interested in these things of war.Therefore, Xiao Lingfeng knew what he wanted to do as soon as he heard this.

He put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and glanced at him with a half-smile: "This horse was obtained by a strategist's ingenious trick. Why, do you want to go and have a look?"

Xiao Qi choked, his face turned red, and he felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

——If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t have asked.

Xiao Qi thought, if you don't ask, you don't know, and if you don't know, you can pretend it doesn't exist.If he went directly to the racecourse without asking too many questions, he would have already ridden three times back by now.

Xiao Lingfeng was also very puzzled when he saw the look of death on his face.Why is Xiao Qi so hostile to Zhuang Qingyue?

He couldn't even remember when the two had a festive relationship.

"Where do you feel so dissatisfied with Junshi Zhuang?"

Xiao Lingfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and he really didn't want Xiao Qi, a silly kid, to commit crimes in front of Zhuang Qingyue one day, and he would be in bad luck if he was confused.

He is bound to be the gold medal mediator this time today.

Xiao Qi faltered and hesitated, not wanting to answer.

First, the prince doesn't remember the embarrassing things from his childhood, and he doesn't have the face to bring it up again.

Secondly, his heart was focused on Mr. Fu, whom he had only met once, and he himself found it funny to say it.

"Why, is there anything else you can't say?"

Xiao Lingfeng showed the patience of a confidant brother, and assured him, "Don't worry, if you tell me, I will keep the secret for you, and I won't say a word."

Even the self-proclaimed "Ben Wang" is not used anymore.

Xiao Qi was stunned, and hearing Xiao Lingfeng's tone, he had the illusion of returning to his childhood.

After hesitating for a moment, under Xiao Lingfeng's gentle gaze, Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I think, I think Mr. Fu is better."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and stared straight at his toes, not daring to look at Xiao Lingfeng's expression.He also missed the indescribable look in Xiao Lingfeng's eyes when he looked at him.

Ah this...

Xiao Lingfeng never thought that Xiao Qi's dislike for Zhuang Qingyue was because of Mr. Fu.

Although he couldn't figure out what this had to do with Mr. Fu.

However, if this is the reason, then there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, Mr. Fu and Mr. Zhuang are the same person, if Zhuang Qingyue knew Xiao Qi's thoughts, at most he would make fun of him.

It should, it shouldn't be a big problem... right?

Xiao Qi waited, but before Xiao Lingfeng opened his mouth, he felt a little uneasy for a moment, afraid that he would offend his prince if he mentioned Mr. Fu.

After all, no officer would like his personal affairs to be overly concerned by his subordinates, right?

He raised his head quietly, but suddenly met Xiao Lingfeng's loving eyes.

Xiao Qi: "?"

A little too creepy.

"Cough." Xiao Lingfeng cleared his throat, "I know."

After thinking about it, he still reminded: "Mr. Zhuang is now in our Jingbei Army, and you are also a colleague. If there are some things you shouldn't say, don't say too much. Just do what you should do well."

"Oh." Xiao Qi knew that the prince was beating him. Although he still didn't like Zhuang Qingyue in his heart, it was not that he didn't understand the importance of saving face.So he cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate knows."

Xiao Lingfeng smiled gratifiedly: "It's good to know." Then he waved his hand, indicating to Xiao Qi what to do.

Xiao Qi saluted and said goodbye.

Just two steps away, before opening the curtain of the handsome tent, Xiao Lingfeng stopped him again: "By the way, don't think too much about Mr. Fu, and don't make it public."

Xiao Qi turned around and responded.

When he walked out of the command tent, the soldiers on duty only saw General Xiao enter with an excited face and come out with a complicated expression, and they didn't know what happened.
