Outside the Azure Sun Region, a large number of captive camps had been built on the former Frost Island. Most of the Frost Island's citizens and soldiers had been temporarily settled here.
For the same reason, the Sharp Strike Army was still stationed here, unable to return to the continent.
In the southwest direction of the former Mishu Island, there was a sturdy camp built on top of a mound that could accommodate a hundred people. Mo Ruohua and her personal guards were stationed here.
Since occupying Frost Island, she had been responsible for guarding the captives.
However, many of these captives were very restless. Frost Island's people could communicate telepathically, so it was easy for them to link up with each other.
These people had caused many riots, but she had suppressed them in time. After ferreting out these troublemakers, there hadn't been much movement recently.
During this time, one of Cao Du's advisors had sought her out and asked her to exaggerate the extent of the Frost Island's captives' rebellion. Only by doing so could they attract the continent's attention.
Mo Ruohua felt that this wasn't the other party's intention. Moreover, Cao Du had always been strict with his troops, so this decision seemed a little strange.
However, she didn't ask too much. She wasn't an army supervisor, so there was no need for her to oppose the commander-in-chief on matters that would benefit her.
"Commandant."
The Vice Cong called out, "There's something sent from the region, and it was specifically sent to you."
Mo Ruohua's mind turned. She didn't know many people outside the region. Apart from some of her classmates at Mizar Academy, she only knew some old acquaintances from the Eastern Court.
He stretched out his hand and took the envelope. After opening it, he saw a jade slip and several blank letters inside.
She immediately realized that this was something sent by Zhang Yu. After some thought, she picked up the jade slip and tried to pour her spiritual energy into it.
In the blink of an eye, she felt a thought being transmitted to her from inside.
After she finished reading the contents, she thought about it seriously for a while and then walked out of the account.
The Vice Cong said, "Commandant, do you have any orders?"
Mo Ruohua said, "Commandant Ming came here yesterday. Where is he now?"
The Vice Cong was startled. After some thought, he replied, "He should still be in the southern camp at the moment."
Mo Ruohua said, "You stay here and keep watch. I'm going out for a bit."
After giving her instructions, she rose up and flew toward the south. After flying above the captive camps for a while, she arrived at the southernmost corner. An insect-shaped flying boat appeared in front of her. She descended from the sky and landed lightly on the ground.
Lieutenant Ming's assistant saw her and walked up to her with cupped fists. "Lieutenant Mo, what's the matter? The lieutenant is taking an afternoon nap. "
Mo Ruohua said, "I have something to discuss with him."
The deputy said, "Please wait a moment, Commandant Mo, I'll go in and report."
After a while, Commandant Ming walked out and said, "Commandant Mo, why are you looking for me at this time?"
Mo Ruohua said, "I came to find Commandant Ming to ask you for a favor."
Lieutenant Ming exclaimed in surprise. He looked at her a few times in surprise and said, "You will also ask me for help?"
Mo Ruohua said, "Are you going to help or not?"
Lieutenant Ming said playfully, "Why should I help you?"
Mo Ruohua said calmly, "Then I won't help." She turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, hey," Lieutenant Ming shouted from behind, "Don't just leave like that. I didn't say I wouldn't help."
Mo Ruohua did not stop and flew away.
Lieutenant Ming muttered to himself and pulled the deputy over. "Go over and ask what it is. Can't I just help? It was just a joke, why take it so seriously?"
The deputy said, "Lieutenant, are you really going to help?"
Lieutenant Ming rubbed his chin and said, "Whether I help or not is another matter, but you have to let me know about it, right? It's rare that Commandant Mo would ask for my help, but now you're not letting me know what it is. I feel really uncomfortable holding it in. "
The deputy said, "But if you don't agree, I'm afraid Commandant Mo won't say it."
Lieutenant Ming said nonchalantly, "Then I'll help her. Since we're comrades, it's rare for her to owe me a favor. I'm even taking advantage of it."
The deputy nodded and said, "I understand. That's why even though Lieutenant says you're not willing, you've already agreed in your heart. I'll go now. "
His glabella flashed and the outer armor instantly covered his entire body. Then, he flew up and chased after Mo Ruohua.
After a while, the deputy turned back and said that Mo Ruohua had instructed him to come to the northern sentry post if he really wanted to help.
Thus, half a summer later, the two of them met at a dilapidated Frost Island sentry post in the north.
When Lieutenant Ming saw Mo Ruohua, he said, "What's the matter? Tell me. "
Mo Ruohua said, "The outer armor we're wearing is made by the Tenki-in Hall."
Lieutenant Ming asked curiously, "Why are you talking about this? Isn't this something everyone knows?"
Mo Ruohua said calmly, "There should be a way to control us in the outer armor."
Lieutenant Ming said, "Actually, I guessed as much, but so what?" He said nonchalantly, "There's no one who can replace us now, so they can't do anything to us. Besides, we didn't break any military rules … Hmm, Commandant Mo, what are you planning to do?"
At this point, he suddenly put away his lazy and frivolous appearance and said warily, "Let me say this first, I won't do anything that breaks the law or military rules."
Mo Ruohua said, "It's not that serious. Lieutenant Ming should have noticed the recent happenings in the camp, right?"
Lieutenant Ming said, "Ah, what are you talking about? I don't know."
Mo Ruohua only looked at him.
Under her direct gaze, Lieutenant Ming could not keep up the act any longer and said, "Alright, alright." Then, he complained to the assistant beside him, "Am I so easily seen through?"
The deputy glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Mo Ruohua said seriously, "Lieutenant Ming, those creators have already infiltrated the two manors. If it was a normal manors, no one would do anything to us because they have to abide by the rules.
But what about creators? They are not products of the rules in the first place, so they will definitely not do things according to the normal way. Instead, they are most likely to use our power. Are you willing to entrust your safety to these creators who act with uncertainty? "
Lieutenant Ming pondered for a moment. "What you say makes sense. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Mo Ruohua said, "Has Lieutenant Ming communicated with the master craftsmen who made our outer armor?"
Lieutenant Ming said, "The master craftsmen who made the outer armor?" He thought for a moment. "Not really."
In fact, these armored lieutenants had a channel of communication with the master craftsmen who made the outer armor. This was to facilitate better use of the outer armor.
But in reality, only the master craftsmen often received information about the outer armor from them. They had never taken the initiative to contact the master craftsmen.
Ultimately, it was because they felt that their outer armor was no secret to the master craftsmen, so they subconsciously kept a respectful distance from them.
Mo Ruohua said, "After the war in the north and the battle at Frost Island, we have made great progress in the transportation of outer armor. However, we still have many questions, so we can ask the master craftsmen who made the outer armor if they have any suggestions. I think they would be happy to see us get in touch with them."
Lieutenant Ming was puzzled. "Why do you want to do that? What does this have to do with what you said before? "
Mo Ruohua said, "We're just probing the master craftsmen's attitude toward us. Maybe we can get some information out of them."
Lieutenant Ming was dissatisfied. "Hey? Do I look stupid? You're being too perfunctory. Can't you at least make up a reasonable excuse? "
Mo Ruohua looked at him. "Lieutenant Ming is a smart man. I know I can't fool you with ordinary excuses, but it's not convenient to talk about some things now. I believe you can understand. "
"Is that so?"
Lieutenant Ming grinned and said, "Alright, just because you said that, I'll write this letter with you."
Mo Ruohua nodded. She took out a few pieces of paper and a pen from her armor pouch and spread them out on a broken table. "I've finished writing Commandant Ming's letter. Just make a copy of it."
Lieutenant Ming chuckled. He picked up the pen and twirled it around his finger. Then, he quickly copied a copy. Finally, he tapped on the letter and pushed it to Mo Ruohua, saying, "It's done."
Mo Ruohua picked it up and glanced at it. She couldn't help but praise, "Good writing!"
Lieutenant Ming said proudly, "I'm from Linmo Academy, after all."
Mo Ruohua was somewhat surprised. Linmo Academy was located in Linmo County of Guangzhou and could be considered one of the best academies in Qingyang Upper Continent. One had to meet strict requirements to enter.
Those who completed their studies here could at least become a civil servant of two prefectures. She hadn't expected Lieutenant Ming to be from this academy.
After reading it, she saw that there were no omissions, so she pushed the letter back and said, "I'll have to trouble Lieutenant Ming to send this letter through your own channels."
Lieutenant Ming glanced at the letter and motioned for the assistant to put it away. "That's all?"
Mo Ruohua replied, "Yes, Lieutenant Ming." She cupped her fists. "Many thanks this time."
Lieutenant Ming grinned. "It's good enough that I was able to help. Speaking of which, I was helping myself. Alright, I'll be going back now if there's nothing else." He waved at Mo Ruohua and left the sentry post with the assistant.
The assistant said, "Lieutenant, what you said just now was helping yourself. In that case, Lieutenant Mo doesn't owe you anything this time."
Lieutenant Ming said, "I know, but it doesn't matter. What she said just now was beautiful enough to make one unable to take it to heart. Do you understand?"
The assistant said, "I understand, because I'm that kind of person too."
"..."
Lieutenant Ming grinned. "Alright, let's go back."
After Mo Ruohua returned to the temporary camp, he asked around. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he summoned his personal messenger and handed the letter he had written to her. He instructed, "Deliver this letter to the continent. Try not to let it leave your body along the way and don't let anyone else come into contact with it."
