Chapter 414 Wei Junqian's Mission
Three days later, the general Wei Junqian sent to replace him and some supplies arrived in Dachun Valley.

After the handover between the two parties was completed, Ren Ning led his personal guards and headed west while Liang Rushi and his party watched them off.

"This broken road..." Lei Er began to shake his head after not walking far.

Although it has been maintained and widened several times, the road down the mountain is still tortuous and uneven.

咴咴咴.

Ben Lei, who hadn't galloped for a long time, hissed his neck, his two front hooves were anxiously scratching the pebbles on the ground.

But the road is really difficult to walk, and it can't run even if it wants to run.

"It will be fine when we get to the post road." The others comforted.

The next afternoon, when he was about to step out of the Yuanning Mountains, Ren Ning frowned.

When he first arrived at Yuanning Mountain last year, he had an agreement with Wu Siyuan who was stationed on the post road.

Any unidentified person is not allowed to approach the Yuanning Mountains, and those who violate it will be dealt with as spies of Japanese pirates.

However, under Goldfinger, there are dozens of red dots in the surrounding mountains and forests. Except for some beasts that can hurt people, they are probably spies sneaked by Japanese pirates.

Lei Er was the smartest, he knew something was wrong when he saw Ren Ning's expression.

He lowered his voice, "General, are there enemies around?"

Ren Ning nodded slightly, "I don't know if it is a spy of the Japanese pirates, but they have been hiding on the mountain and staring at us."

"Never mind him." Lei Er snorted and sneered, "We made an agreement with Wu Siyuan at the beginning that any unknown person spying on post roads and logistics convoys will be treated as spies."

"That's right," the guards began to itch their hands, "General, why don't we go and kill them!"

Ren Ning pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Our first task is to carry out General Wei's order, and everything else will be left behind. Everyone write down the situation here, and then pass it on to the brothers along the way, so that they can take action."

Because of the need to keep the post road smooth or maintain the windmills along the way, there are many Xingluo soldiers disguised as Baekje civilians on the post road, so just leave these small troubles to them.

The guards reacted, and then nodded.

After leaving the Yuanning Mountains and passing through several small hills, the flat Baekje Plain lies ahead.

Although this place was also hit by the storm, it still looked like a piece of yellow and clear at this time. It was a crop that could be harvested soon.

Seeing the long-lost flat ground, the mounts cheered and galloped forward, and the speed of the crowd began to increase.

At noon on the third day, we finally arrived outside the capital of Baekje.

When we got here, we were not far from the temporary base of the Starfall Legion.

After a while, soldiers from the south cheerfully came to greet them.

The station Wei Junqian set up is almost in the middle of the post road between Jinlongtan and the capital city of Baekje.

Go south to support Jinlongtan, go north to defend the capital of Baekje, and go west to return to Yunchui in time.

It didn't take an hour for Ren Ning to see the layers of tents on the hill in front of him and the Xingluo army flag fluttering high.

After entering the garrison, all kinds of familiar and unfamiliar soldiers greeted Ren Ning and his party one after another.

"Hey, isn't this General Ren? Long time no see. When did you arrive at the station?"

"Just arrived." Ren Ning responded with a smile, no matter who the other party was, "This is not covered in dust and dirt."

"I'll meet with General Wei first, and if there's nothing urgent, I'll have a drink or two with my brothers."

"Go, go. The general's business is important."

Entering the tent of the Chinese army, Wei Junqian was the only one inside.He stood in front of the map and didn't know what to think about.

When he heard the movement, he looked back.

what.

"Ren Ning is back? Sit down and drink tea!"

"Thank you, General." Making tea and tasting tea is Wei Junqian's hobby. Although Ren Ning was not thirsty, he did not refuse.

"Have you read the newspaper at the end of July?" Wei Junqian asked while boiling tea.

Ren Ning nodded, "I've read it. After fighting for three years, Xiliang finally got out."

It's just that Yun Chui's casualties were a bit heavy.

"Temporary." Wei Junqian was busy with the work in hand in an orderly manner, "The Grassland Royal Court will not give up this fat piece of Yunchui."

Ren Ning agreed, "It is estimated that after Blood Moon and Angel return to the grassland this time, the royal court of the grassland will have to go out in person if they want to make a comeback. At that time, the pressure on the west will probably be even greater."

Wei Junqian frowned, "No matter how many enemies there are or how much pressure there is, it doesn't really matter. I'm just worried that His Majesty won't support you wholeheartedly..."

The two casually chatted about the situation in the west until Wei Junqian finished making a pot of tea.

Ren Ning took a sip, smiled and said, "It's really good tea, and it's the familiar taste of Guangxin."

Haha.

Wei Junqian shook his head and laughed.

"You kid is talking nonsense again. The water here in Baekje is colder, while the spring in Guangxin is hotter. The tea brewed by the two is not the same taste at all."

Hey.

Being exposed by Wei Junqian at a glance, Ren Ning couldn't help scratching his head with a smirk.

"General, you know that your tea-tasting skill is far inferior to yours. It's normal that you can't taste the difference between the two."

Wei Junqian didn't care too much, and pointed to the south with a smile.

"When you drink tea, it tastes like Guangxin. I think you are homesick."

"Do you want to go home?" He asked suddenly.

Ren Ning was taken aback.

It would be a lie to say that you don't want to.

She was pregnant in October, and now it's almost mid-August. Even if Ren Ning is driving all the way south now, when he arrives in Guangxin, his daughter-in-law is about to give birth.

But in this era, a woman's childbirth is a death pass.

"Of course I want to." Ren Ning nodded honestly, "But as a Xingluo soldier, I can only give up my family for everyone. As long as the general gives an order, no matter how difficult the task is, the subordinates will do their best to complete it."

Wei Junqian patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction.

"Very well. Here is a task for you to complete."

Ren Ning put down his tea and stood up, "Please give me an order, General."

Haha.

"Don't be so serious." Wei Junqian smiled and motioned him to sit down, "This task is for you to go home immediately, to stay with your wife and watch the baby be born safely."

After speaking, he took out a letter that had already been written from under the desk.

"This is your leave letter. How about it, can this task be done?"

Ren Ning was a little dazed, and when he realized it, he had mixed feelings, and finally he could only utter one sentence.

"Thank you, General."

"Arrogance." Wei Junqian waved his hand, and took out a small silver dagger.

"It's really not easy to buy a gift for the child here in Baekje. I only have this small dagger on hand. I will give it to the child as a birthday present. I wish him a safe and healthy growth, and he will be like his father in the future." Fight for the country."

Ren Ning had no choice but to thank him before taking it.

Wei Junqian picked up the tea and looked at the sky outside.

"It's not completely dark yet. If you can't sit still and leave in a hurry, you can leave now. Otherwise, you can stay for one night. It's just..."

It's just that if the imperial envoy sent by Emperor Changxing knew that he had rushed back from the Yuanning Mountains, they would probably come to question him, and it would inevitably take a day or two.

Ren Ning immediately stood up, "I'll go back and explain to you, feed the mount and leave immediately."

He is one of the eight generals of the Starfall Legion, equipped with a huge guard group.

With so many personal guards hugging and swaggering through the city, it is naturally very majestic, but it is not the case when driving.Therefore, Ren Ning still decided to take Lei Er back alone.

Whether chasing wind or running thunder, they are rare top horses. They run as fast as lightning and are most suitable for traveling.

Ha ha.

Wei Junqian smiled regretfully.

"Originally, you could go back across the ocean directly on the battleship of the East China Sea barrier. But because of King Qi, Lu Fuhai also stayed. So you can only go on horseback."

Ren Ning was about to get up and leave, but at this moment he couldn't help standing still.

"General, Japanese pirates are very likely to land on the coast of Yunchui on a large scale in August or September. Does General Lu not know the news or is he not going to pay attention?"

"He knows." Wei Junqian drank the tea in his hand, "It's just that he is so full of thoughts to find King Qi as soon as possible, so he doesn't take it seriously."

Ren Ning was taken aback, "Then our coast is completely unobstructed?"

"That's not true." Wei Junqian pointed to Jinlongtan on the map, "You know Lu Yulong, General Lu. Xiao Zheng asked him to take the Yulong fleet back."

It's just that the Yulong fleet only has fifty ships, and there are only two warlord-class ships. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the Japanese pirates' attack.
