Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 38
There is a gap between the national strength of Beili and Tiansheng. Although the country is large, it is sparsely populated. However, the people of Beili are aggressive, restless, and keen to provoke troubles. The land of Luzhou in the north of the mountain was taken away, and Emperor Zhao, who was still the prince at that time, took a lot of effort to get back the lost land.

The Beibei Army is the largest and strongest army in Tiansheng. 30 troops are stationed here all the year round to protect the peace of Beiguan.

Yun Yang went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and has been on the front line of Beiguan since then. For more than ten years, as the son of a family of military generals with extraordinary talents, he can lead troops to fight, and negotiate with the enemy. He valued her so much that he took over from his father at the age of 25, worshiped the General Hussar, and wanted to marry him the most outstanding daughter among the dukes, but he severely rejected it, saying that the northern border had not yet been decided, and he would not talk about personal relationships with his children.

In fact, Emperor Zhao already knew that he was in love with Shengyang. This incident was passed on among the children of the Pingyang family a few years ago. It's just that after Yunyang stayed in the north for a long time these years, Shengyang and Sheng Feiyu got engaged. forgotten.

Emperor Zhao did not forget, he always felt that Yun Yang was simply a son-in-law who would ride a dragon quickly, if not for his grandfather, he would be the best candidate for son-in-law.

Yunyang's grandfather was Zhongwuhou, the most trusted veteran of the late emperor, and he was also a veteran who came out more than [-] years ago to help Emperor Zhao take back most of the lost Luzhou from Beili and help Emperor Zhao secure the crown prince. He is the most respected by Emperor Zhao. As a man, his prestige is higher than that of Emperor Zhao in the hearts of all the veterans.

Emperor Zhao has liked Yun Yang as his son-in-law since he was a child. He has persuaded the old man three times over the years. The first time was when Yun Yang and Sheng Yang were in the same school. He heard the eunuch next to him talk about it. After agreeing, he invited the old man to the palace and said that he wanted to make a baby kiss for the two children, but the old man said "the child is still young" and directly refused.The second time was when he noticed the relationship between Sheng Yang and Duan Yu, and wanted to consider a son-in-law for Sheng Yang as soon as possible.The third time was when Sheng Feiyu died some time ago, and he brought it up during the palace banquet, and said "I can't afford it" again!
The old man even said angrily, if the sage is really so attached to this bad relationship, then it would be best to wait for the old man to go into the earth without seeing it!
Emperor Zhao was so angry that Marquis Zhongwu did not agree to the marriage purely because of the grievances of the older generation.

At that time, the Yun family and the Wen family were both Luozhou aristocratic families, they had close contacts and were related by marriage, and their relationship was very good.Marquis Zhongwu has been close friends with Wen's son-in-law and Sheng Yang's grandfather since he was young. When he was a teenager, they fell in love with the daughter of Qiao's family, a large merchant in Luozhou at the same time. , The two have a estrangement.At this critical moment, Marquis Zhongwu decided to go to the battlefield to practice according to his family's arrangement. He thought that he would resign from the battlefield and escaped death. , the other party didn't need to consider his feelings, and directly proposed marriage to Qiao's daughter.

Although he was open-minded, every time he was injured or frustrated in the military camp, he relied on this promise as a support. When he returned to Luozhou in less than three years, his friend was already planning to hold a wedding with Mrs. Qiao.

He immediately felt betrayed by his friend and broke off relations with him. He also believed that the Wen family was a treacherous family, and he has always held contempt in his heart since then.After he took charge of the family, he established the family rules, Yun and Wen were not allowed to have any private contacts, and they were not allowed to marry again. Even if the two families later held important positions in the court, the court always refused to deal with it.

With the death of Wen's grandfather, the relationship between the two families eased slightly.In Yun Yang's generation, the former crown prince and their brothers were classmates and friends, and Sheng Yang often played with them, and the relationship between the two families has eased a lot. When the Wen family was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy, Old Master Yun even interceded in person.

It's just that he won't agree to this marriage no matter what. Firstly, the rules have been established and he doesn't want to break his word. Secondly, Shengyang is arrogant and willful, so he doesn't like it.

Thinking back on this matter, Yun Yang shook his head helplessly, walked out of the big tent, and saw a pair of figures standing beside the barracks from afar.

"looking at what?"

There were no lanterns in the barracks, and the bonfire was burning vigorously. From a distance, it was pitch black, but a little fire could be seen in the sky.

Sheng Yang pointed.

"That's the border of North America."

"Have you ever been here?"

Duan Yuzhi nodded.

"Look west."

Sheng Yang looked through the night and stared hard, but couldn't see anything.

Duan Yuzhi saw her confused face, and smiled dotingly, "It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

"have what?"

"There is a small town there, Mingzhu Town. There is a natural barrier. The mountains on both sides face each other, and there is a valley in the middle. The river in the valley flows to the south, and the green waves are rippling in the sun."

"Sounds beautiful."

"Yes, I have a chance to take you there to have a look."

"When have you been there, and I don't know?"

Duan Yuzhi smiled, "Before I worked in Luzhou, I went there twice. The scenery of Beili is completely different from here, and the people's clothes are also different. They seem to be more free and unrestrained."

Sheng Yang couldn't help being a little disappointed, yes, in the past six years, she only knew that Duan Yuzhi had left the mansion and Pingyang, but she didn't know where he went or what he saw.

There were footsteps approaching, Sheng Yang turned his head, and Yun Yang walked towards her two with big strides.

"Your Highness, the Beili people's clothes, money, chariots and horses are all ready."

"Okay, General Hard Work Yun."

"Your Highness..." He looked at Duan Yuzhi, hesitant to speak, his actions were too obvious, and he just wanted to make Duan Yuzhi understand, so that he could have a few words with His Highness alone.

Duan Yuzhi didn't care about his thoughts, "General Yun, this time we are not just passing by the barracks, but have something to discuss with you."

"Teacher Duan, please tell me." He said impatiently.

"You have spies in your camp."

Shocked by Yun Yang, Duan Yuzhi explained the matter of grain and grass in Beiguan in detail.

"His Royal Highness and I suspect that the business done by Yu Wanliang and Hu Luan in Beiguan is inseparable from the North Li State, and they have an eyeliner in your army. If this eyeliner passes on the general affairs, through his Wouldn't it be tantamount to leaking a military plane if someone went to Beili country?"

"I have always been strict in running the army. How could anyone be so bold as to collude with the enemy!"

Yun Yang's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked at Sheng Yang to ask whether it was true or not.

Sheng Yang nodded, "It's exactly as the Taifu said."

It was only then that Yun Yang suddenly realized, "No wonder His Royal Highness specifically asked me to prepare all the horses and carriages by myself, and don't borrow others' hands."

Duan Yuzhi nodded, "In the afternoon, in front of all the soldiers, we can only say that we came to the barracks to inspect the food and grass, and condolences to the soldiers on behalf of the emperor. In fact, our trip is to change our identities and enter Beiguan from outside the pass for convenience. Therefore, I made up a reason, afraid of being revealed to Beiguan by someone with a heart, but I still don’t feel at ease now, I’m afraid that the news of our arrival here has already been passed into the customs..."

"Don't worry, you two, several outposts have been set up near the Beiguan barracks to intercept all homing pigeons, carriages and horses passing near the barracks, just to prevent the military plane from leaking."

"Huh," Sheng Yang was a little puzzled, "Then how did this person pass the news of your return to the camp so quickly?"

"The inside of the camp is airtight, but it's not the same outside the camp. It seems that this person is the one who took care of the food and grass with General Yun."

Yun Yang understood, and said, "I did send a letter to the army asking people to join me and escort the food and grass together. There was a team of 20 people who came."

He frowned and thought for a while, looking into the barracks, the night had come, the barracks was in darkness except for a few bonfires, and the patrolling soldiers passed by in pairs.

What Duan Yuzhi said just now echoed in his mind.

"Your highness has just received your letter, but Yu Wanliang and Hu Luan have already received the news."

One step ahead, the person who can know his movements at the first time...

"So I do think of someone..."

The night became darker, and the bonfires were extinguished a few times, leaving only one or two fires to accompany the soldiers on duty at night.

The three of them returned to the tent together, Yun Yang took the commanding seat, and a soldier brought them hot tea.

"Has Adjutant Fang rested?"

The soldier lowered his head and replied, "General, Adjutant Fang is on duty today, so he should be right outside the door."

Yun Yang shouted outside the tent, "Where is Adjutant Fang?"

I saw a figure immediately opened the curtain and walked in. This man was not wearing armor, and he walked in a calm and gentle manner. When he bowed, he performed a civil official ceremony, "The next official pays homage to His Royal Highness Princess and Grand Tutor Duan." My lord, what orders does the general have?"

"Adjutant Fang, there may be spies from the Beili Kingdom in the Beiguan county government. You quickly find five elite soldiers and go to Beiguan to investigate the truth."

"It's the general, the next officer takes orders."

The adjutant Fang did things quickly, he immediately ordered five soldiers when he left the house, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and left the barracks.

The three of them left the camp and watched the six of them leave with their own eyes. In the darkness, they hurried, but they didn't know who it was for?

Yun Yang waved his hand again, and a figure appeared in front of them silently.

He was wearing a black suit and a mask, and there was nothing on his face that could be seen clearly, probably because he was used to hiding in the dark.

He didn't salute Sheng Yang like others, but only bowed to Yun Yang, and said in a low voice, "What's your order, Eldest Young Master?"

"Follow Fang Ankang closely, if there is any leak, kill him."

"Yes."

After the man in black disappeared into the night, Duan Yuzhi said, "This is the first time I have seen the dead servant of the family, and I only heard about it before."

It is rumored that the aristocratic family raises many dead servants, raising them from childhood to adulthood, hiding in the dark, even if the emperor comes, they ignore them, they are only loyal to their own protection objects, and they often protect the most important people in the aristocratic family, such as Yun Yang is such a noble family son, the heir to the title.

Yun Yang glanced at him, "It's no surprise that you're used to it among aristocratic families."

Duan Yuzhi heard what he meant, smiled and shook his head.
