Chapter 198 It's Still Like This
General Mao did not retreat, he looked at the map with hesitation.

Having been stationed at Feimen Pass for so many years, he thinks he knows exactly which terrains can be used and which ones can't be used on the land outside the pass.

Of course, it's not just him, Xiliang is also similar.

The two sides have fought back and forth here for so long, who would not know?

However, in the current Feimenguan, Yongninghou is the coach.

Let alone Mao Gu'an, Feng Zhong has to listen to Yongninghou.

As deputies, they can offer suggestions and talk about ideas, but they cannot overstep and dictate.

Therefore, although General Mao felt that it was not necessary to go around the cliff to investigate, he still held back and said nothing.

It's just to investigate, go back and go.

Based on his understanding of Lin Fan these days, he is young but very keen.

Otherwise, General Feng would definitely not agree to let Lin Fan be a scout.

This is the only seedling of the Dingguo government and the Lin family.

No marriage, no heirs, only his mother and Lin Xuan's widow in the family. Lin Fan's ability to be a noble at this age and to be the commander of the Red Guards shows that the emperor has trained and valued him.

Regardless of whether Lin Fan came to the border to accumulate military exploits or gain knowledge, Beijing is definitely looking forward to his safe return.

Taking a step back, there are no absolutes in war.

If you really want to die at Feimenguan, you must die more magnificently. In a face-to-face battle, you will fight bloody and die with all your strength.

When a scout had an accident and lost his life, that's also...

Mao Gu'an pondered over and over again.

He came late, and he didn't know which route the Marquis of Yongning pointed out to Lin Fan, but it was definitely not an ordinary way to get there.

If the road is deviated, there is no guarantee that there will be no variables.

Even though Lin Fan was keen and avoided the Xiliang team during the spying, if he encountered a horse thief or something...

Mao Gu'an was worried.

He really didn't like those noble heirs who relied on the favor of their ancestors to rise steadily, but he knew in his heart that Lin Fan didn't mess around.

Lin Fan was very serious about guarding the city wall, being a scout, and practicing on the school grounds.

Not picky because of who he is.

In other words, just because he is a descendant of Lin Han and Lin Xuan, he couldn't embarrass his grandfather and father, so Lin Fan did a particularly good job.

Such a young man, even if Mao Gu'an had some bad guesses and opinions about him at the beginning, after these days, they have all been forgotten.

Do you want to mention it to Yongning Hou?
Mao Gu'an thought back and forth, and became more and more hesitant.

The matter is too small, so small that it is not worth him to contradict Yongning Hou.

But if something happens, after countless years, he will definitely regret the hesitation at this moment.

Even if his words can't change Yongninghou's decision, at least he said it...

Qin Yin saw Mao Gu'an's hesitation.

He knew Mao Gu'an's temper so well, he could tell what was going on in his head just by looking at the other's frowning.

"General Mao," Qin Yin took the initiative to say, "Masters, what are you hesitating for? Tell me what you have to say. Even if you are wrong, can I drag you out and beat you up?"

Mao Gu'an's face flushed red.

What is this called?

So, he really doesn't like dealing with Yongninghou.

The same general who opened the dynasty, Mao Gu'an was also brave and good at fighting back then, and made countless military exploits.

As a result, Qin Yin was ennobled and went to Beijing, and he guarded the border city all the year round.

There is nothing wrong with guarding the border city, and he is not afraid of hardship. In his eyes, the romance of the capital city is not as good as the lonely smoke of the desert.

He is just annoying, obviously he knows Feimenguan better and Xiliang people better, why every time Qin Yin comes from Beijing, he takes care of everything.

This was the case with military training in the past few years. They have not trained in the past few years.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiliang sent troops, Jingli finally sent Qin Yin.

When Qin Yin came this time, he no longer pointed out the country vigorously, but was ill and couldn't walk easily.

What are you doing here?

Mao Gu'an was full of slander, but seeing Qin Yin's frail condition, he still couldn't bear it.

Old, weak, sick, anyone who reads it will feel compassion.

So is Mao Gu'an.

He faced Yongning Hou with the most peaceful and restrained attitude. As a result, good guy, when Qin Yin opened his mouth, he still had the same taste.

A wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and Mao Gu'an asked, "Which way do you want him to go on that cliff?"

Qin Yin raised his hand and drew a stroke on the map with his finger.

Mao Gu'an gasped: "This road, you let him go? He is a young man who has only been in Feimenguan for a little over a month. He has just been a scout, and he has not figured out the large area in the middle. He can go there. You can get lost on the road! Aren’t you hurting him? Even if you really reach the place, can you really go up this mountain?”

"Yes, I've done it before. He doesn't know the way?" Qin Yin didn't care about Mao Gu'an's tone at all, and said, "Why don't you be General Mao as his guide? It's likely that he has just ordered people, Hurry up now, before you have time. Just take the path the old man said, and go up there to have a look. Hey, the injury you suffered at Yushakou last time, is it healed?"

Mao Gu'an: ...

What's the point of bringing up that broken skin wound?
Shabby?
Is it true that an honest person speaks frankly, and every sentence hurts the heart?

The emperor left such an upright Qin Yin in Beijing, has he not been less angry in recent years?
Mao Zian took a deep breath.

No.

If you continue to talk to Qin Yin, he will be blown by the patient in turn.

That's it.

Qin Yin arrived, Feng Zhong and others were all there, there was someone in charge of Feimenguan, and from the information collected by the scouts these days, Xiliang would not make any sudden moves, it should be fine for him to leave the customs.

Then give the Duke to lead the way.

Be careful on the road, if you encounter horse thieves or people from Xiliang, avoid them early.

It's really unavoidable, with multiple people and multiple efforts, killing a pair counts as a pair.

He also happened to go to see what kind of flowers could be seen on the broken cliff.

Thinking of this, Mao Gu'an cupped his hands, and said in a low voice, "The last general takes orders."

After speaking, he turned around and left with big strides.

Seeing this, Qin Wei couldn't help shaking his head.

"That's not what you told me when I set off from Beijing." Qin Wei sat down and persuaded the old father, "At that time, it was said that General Feng was the commander-in-chief, but he had just arrived, and General Mao was the commander-in-chief of the garrison. If there is a disagreement, you let me deal with it more."

Qin Wei kept the teaching in mind.

However, when they arrived, General Mao had just suffered a defeat, and he knew he was in the wrong, so he did not confront Feng Zhong, so Qin Wei had no use for him.

"You are you," Qin Yin replied casually, "I am an old man."

Qin Wei couldn't laugh or cry at this answer.

Qin Yin looked at his son, thinking of the things he kept from the truth, he still felt a little guilty.

He coughed lightly, and said: "Mao Gu'an's temperament is like this, the old man should be polite to him, he is more uncomfortable than now, you will know after you have been with him for a long time."

Stubborn, single-minded, high-minded.

That is Mao Gu'an.

As a person, he is definitely not bad, but he has to be twisted and tightened better than him to make him docile.

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. He, monkey," Qin Yin pointed to himself, "Old man, tiger."
