Late at night, the moonlight was clear.
Lin Muyu, dressed in a white robe, leaned against the stone railing outside the Administrative Hall, holding the Dragon Spirit Sword in his arms. Qin Yin had already fallen asleep, but he was standing guard outside Qin Yin's room. Beside him, Zhang Wei lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin Muyu, do you want a puff?"
"No need, you can enjoy it yourself."
"Does Lord have something on his mind?"
"You can say that …"
"Haha …" Zhang Wei laughed and said, "Brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you are a Gold Star Sparring Master in the Holy Temple, and the Great Deacon thinks highly of you. In Ze Tian Palace, you are even regarded as an adopted son by the Emperor. Even a rough person like me can see how much Her Highness Yin likes you, and your cultivation is even more unfathomable. I really don't understand, what is there to be dissatisfied with after reaching this stage? Your worries … could it be about how to marry Her Highness Yin? That's true … Ha, she is the only Crown Prince, and there are countless people who want to marry her, but … there are only a few who can marry her, and only the nobles and the Grand Dukes can marry her. "
Lin Muyu curled his lips, "Old Zhang, what are you thinking about? I've never thought about this."
"Then do you love Her Highness?" Zhang Wei suddenly rubbed out the cigarette butt and asked with a smile.
"I …"
Lin Muyu was stunned. He reached out and grabbed a handful of snow, kneaded it into a snowball, and threw it out. He said in a low voice, "Love."
"Hahaha …"
Zhang Wei laughed, "You young people are so pretentious. Love is love, there is no need to be so embarrassed. If you love Her Highness, then work hard towards her. With your ability, who knows, you might even become a Queen in the future. The key is that you can't do things like offending Su Qin and His Majesty anymore. You should understand this better than me, right?"
"I know."
Lin Muyu smiled faintly, "Old Zhang, you are getting me into trouble. The reason why I am distressed is not because of Xiao Yin. She is doing well now, and I am also doing well. Moreover, we can see each other every day. What is there to be distressed about?"
"Then why?"
"Because of Long Qianlin's family."
"Oh?"
Zhang Wei stood up and said solemnly, "My Lord, I know that you and Long Qianlin are friends, but … you mustn't make a mistake. Long Qianlin is now a traitor of the Empire. His family members are also guilty of the same crime. If my Lord saves Long Qianlin's family members and this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid that old man Zeng Yifan will have something to use against you."
"I know …"
Lin Muyu looked up at the bright moonlight and said, "But Long Qianlin trusted me so much that he handed over the 17,000 Winged Cavalry Battalion to me. If I can't even save his wife, what will the world think of me, Lin Muyu?"
Zhang Wei's body trembled as he said, "If you're determined to save Long Qianlin's wife, then I, Zhang Wei, am willing to go with you."
"How are you going to save her?" Lin Muyu asked.
Zhang Wei squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "It just so happens that there are two groups of people guarding the prison. One group is the Imperial Army, and the other group is the Iron Blade Army of Muyu City. The Imperial Army will replace them in the latter half of the night. They are all my people. Tonight, I will create chaos and seize the opportunity to save Long Qianlin's wife. But I can only save one person.
"Okay."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Tonight, I will take the initiative to take the Winged Cavalry Battalion to patrol the city. When the time comes, I will pick you up. After rescuing Hu Xiaoyun, Old Zhang, you will personally send her to Mount Longyan in Lanyan City. Send Hu Xiaoyun up the mountain and tell Luo Yu in the Longdan Army Camp to take care of Hu Xiaoyun. When there is news of Long Qianlin, send her over."
"Yes, my Lord, don't worry!"
"Okay!"
…
Late at night, the sound of a collapse shook the city. The walls of the prison had collapsed.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Wei carried a woman in his arms and galloped towards the north gate of Five Valley City.
Outside the north gate, Lin Muyu was guarding the gate with a group of soldiers from the Winged Cavalry Battalion. She opened her hand and said loudly, "The gate is closed. If you want to leave the city, you can leave tomorrow!"
Zhang Wei lifted his cloak and said with a smile, "General Lin, it's me … My mother is sick and I want to go home to visit her. I hope that General will let me go. Thank you very much."
"It's Sir Zhang Wei!" Lin Muyu smiled and waved her hand. "Open the gate and let him go."
A Winged Cavalry Battalion Commandant was dumbfounded. "Sir, this … this is against the rules, right? The General said that no one is allowed to enter or leave Five Valley City after midnight. "
"If I ask you to let him go, then let him go. Don't talk too much."
"Yes!"
Zhang Wei slowly galloped past. At this moment, the cloak on the head of the woman in his arms slowly slid down, revealing a beautiful face. She gently bowed to Lin Muyu and said, "Hu Xiaoyun … Thank you, General Lin …"
Lin Muyu waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and go."
"Thank you, General …"
Zhang Wei disappeared into the night amidst the sound of hooves. The two Winged Cavalry Battalion Commandants also saw Hu Xiaoyun's appearance and looked at Lin Muyu with a dumbfounded expression.
"You guys, just pretend that you didn't see anything. If anyone dares to leak any information, I will chase him to the ends of the earth and kill him!" A murderous look flashed across Lin Muyu's face.
The two Winged Cavalry Battalion Commandants knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "We brothers from the Winged Cavalry Battalion will never be able to repay General's kindness!"
"Don't say anymore. Go back and sleep early. We still have to rush to Lanyan City early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
…
That night, Lin Muyu couldn't sleep. On one hand, she was worried about whether Zhang Wei would arrive at Dragon-rocky Mountain safely. On the other hand, she felt sorry for Long Qianlin's whereabouts were unknown. Long Qianlin was a benevolent general, and it would be a pity if he died just like that.
The next morning, the army set off straight for Lanyan City.
Su Muyun sat in a carriage with the etiquette of a nobleman. Eight black horses pulled the carriage together, looking very dignified. Qin Yin, on the other hand, sat in the princess' carriage. Lin Muyu rode on a warhorse and followed closely beside the carriage to protect it. This was his responsibility.
The snow was melting, and the weather was very cold. Qin Yin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Lin Muyu with a smile. She asked, "Yu, do you want some fruits? I have … apples and pears here. Do you want some? "
"No need. Thank you, Xiao Yin." Lin Muyu grabbed the water bag from her waist and drank a mouthful of wine. Immediately, a warm current flowed into her stomach. Strong wine could ward off the cold. This was a time-tested fact.
At this time, Feng Jixing, who was wearing a commander's armor, came over on his horse. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I want to eat an apple!"
"Hehe, I'm not giving it to you!" Qin Yin stuck out her tongue.
Lin Muyu burst into laughter. "Brother Feng, why are you here? Aren't you leading the way at the front?"
"This time, there are five thousand imperial guards. There's no need for me to lead the way."
Feng Jixing furrowed his brows and said, "On the other hand, Duke Yun ordered me to take good care of the families of the traitor generals in the prison carts at the back. It's really troublesome. I, Feng Jixing, can't stand seeing women being humiliated. Oh right, Ah-Yu, do you know where Zhang Wei went? He disappeared without saying a word. That guy … if it wasn't for his good command, I would've removed him from his position. "
Lin Muyu took an apple from Qin Yin and passed it to Feng Jixing. "I don't know. What does it have to do with me if you don't look after your own subordinates?"
Feng Jixing took a bite of the apple, and juice splattered everywhere. He looked at Lin Muyu with a chuckle and said in a low voice, "Hmph, the walls of the imperial prison collapsed last night. A general purposely released a woman … This scene was seen by a beggar. Yu, ah, Yu, you guys are too dirty. You even need me to clean up after you. I wasted 10 Jinyin coins just to get rid of that beggar."
Lin Muyu felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't help but say gratefully, "Then … thank you, Brother Feng!"
Feng Jixing patted his shoulder and wiped the apple juice on his hand on Lin Muyu's Holy Temple Cloak. "Next time you do something like this, let me know, okay?"
"Yes, I know!"
"Hey, remember to treat me to a meal when you return to Lanyan City. I didn't give you 10 Jinyin coins for nothing."
"No problem. I'll treat you to a meal at Tingyu Tower until you're full!"
"Okay, okay … I also want to find two beauties to drink with me …"
"That's fine too …"
Qin Yin looked at Feng Jixing from afar and pouted. "General Feng, don't lead my Brother Yu astray … Tingyu Tower doesn't have any beauties to drink with you."
General Feng took a deep breath and said meaningfully, "Your Highness, you and Yu are deeply in love with each other. Have you ever thought that a single general like me … will also be lonely at night …"
Qin Yin blushed. She couldn't win against him in an argument. "Pfft, General Feng, you're not ashamed!"
Feng Jixing spread out his hands. "What's wrong with that … After the banquet last night, didn't a certain Crown Prince secretly kiss Yu's left cheek in the corner of the Administrative Hall?"
Qin Yin's face turned even redder. She waved her fists. "Ahhh, I'm going to use the God Binding Chains to fight it out with you!"
Feng Jixing laughed, "Look, look, His Highness is getting anxious … Ah Yu, do you think there's any falsehood in my words?"
Lin Muyu touched her nose. "It's the right cheek …"
Qin Yin blushed. "I don't want to talk to you guys anymore!"
At this time, Su Qin, who was riding in front of them, turned around and looked at them in surprise. "You guys … What are you doing …"
"Nothing, General!" Feng Jixing cupped his fists and said solemnly.
Lin Muyu also immediately gave an imperial military salute. "General!" Su Qin was dubious.
Su Qin was dubious. He smiled and said, "The top two of the Four Heroes of Lanyan are so young. Hehe … The famous generals of the Empire finally have successors. You two should work hard to practice, study the art of war, and contribute to the Empire in the future!"
"Yes, General!"
The two men who had just flirted with the princess put on a righteous look. They cupped their fists and saluted with the demeanor of a famous general.
…
Four days later, they arrived at Lanyan City. On the way, Zhang Wei rejoined the troops. The reason was that he wanted to go home to visit his seriously ill mother. But when he returned, his mother had recovered and was healthy, so he came back. Feng Jixing naturally smiled and did not speak. In his heart, he was secretly cursing these two bastards. Even their lies were so ridiculous.
