At the border, Xiao Jingyun was leading the vanguard soldiers to inspect the fleeing Jin soldiers, wondering whether to pursue them.
Just last night, he suddenly heard Lin Yue's voice again, but he didn't know how she was doing now?
Because there were so many people, he couldn't ask, or even if he did, he wouldn't get an answer like many times before.
Because he was preoccupied with something, he didn't stop until he reached the main tent. Xiao Huaiqing came out to help him lead the horse and asked, "Did your father capture any prisoners?"
"Today, my son led his troops in pursuit and captured two tribes they had allied with, totaling two thousand prisoners. I am now awaiting your instructions, father."
Xiao Jingyun glanced at Xiao Huaiqing, who was eager to make a contribution, and asked, "Why don't you want to return to Beijing?"
Not far away, Princess Yun Duo of Achang Kingdom followed Xiao Huaiqing and was looking at him affectionately.
Xiao Huaiqing smiled back and quickly said, "If we return to the capital now, the Jin Kingdom will have found new allies. They will come back to attack us in less than a year."
"My son wants to solve this problem once and for all."
"My uncle has promised me that as long as I return with merit, he will confer me the title of Prince. Then I won't have any conflicts with the Crown Prince, and my father will be more at ease."
Seeing Xiao Huaiqing so eager to show off, Xiao Jingyun said, "Since you think so, you will lead the troops out to encircle and pursue the enemy tomorrow."
Xiao Huaiqing quickly agreed and took Xiao Jingyun's horse to feed it. He seemed to be really looking forward to making a contribution.
Xiao Jingyun didn't enter the tent until he could no longer see his back.
As Xiao Huaiqing walked away, his eyes darkened. Just as his expression grew cold, Yuan Huaizhi said, "You must quickly accomplish your mission and return. Something has changed in the capital. The Wei royal family has suddenly experienced something that has caused dragons to soar and tigers to roar across the heavens and earth, and their fortunes have converged on the dragon veins."
"I suspect it has something to do with Lin Yue. If you don't go back and find out the truth, you'll end up living in Achang Kingdom as a powerless consort for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huaiqing clenched his fist and said, "That damn owl refuses to say anything. I really want to strangle its neck."
Yuan Huaizhi said, "Don't worry, it can speak human language. I've found an owl and put a little ghost in it."
"When facing its own kind, it should be able to speak."
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry up."
"I feel that Xiao Jingyun is not interested in making achievements at all. He already wants to return to Beijing."
Yuan Huaizhi said: [Find an opportunity to bring him deep into the desert. If you release me, I'll use the enemy to kill him. The credit will be all yours.]
[Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the other generals didn't dare to say anything, especially since this matter has nothing to do with you.]
Xiao Huaiqing hesitated for a moment. Even if letting Yuan Huaizhi out was feasible, it would be unlikely to make Yuan Huaizhi come back obediently.
Xiao Huaiqing said calmly: "Let's talk about it later."
Yuan Huaizhi saw that he couldn't fool him, and he secretly hated him, but said on the surface: "Now we are at the border, and Princess Yun Duo is here. He won't target you. But after returning to the capital, he may not be so sure. Don't hesitate, and take action when the time is right."
Xiao Huaiqing said perfunctorily: "I will have to face so many enemies when I return to Beijing, one more person won't make much difference."
"And I know him. As long as I have achieved merit on the battlefield, he will speak a fair word for me."
"Instead of asking me to find a way to kill him, why don't you help me find a way to wipe out the Great Jin Kingdom?"
"The nineteen Qilian tribes they previously united with have all been dispersed. If I can wipe out their remaining forces in one fell swoop, even Xiao Jingyun will look upon me with new eyes."
Seeing that he couldn't convince Xiao Huaiqing, Yuan Huaizhi said, "You're right. Let's find a way to win the battle before returning."
Xiao Huaiqing was indeed satisfied and said no more.
At night, Yuan Huaizhi put the owl possessed by a ghost on the top of the wall.
The strange cry quickly attracted Dazhuang to come over. Seeing that it was a fellow, Dazhuang flew over to the top of the wall without any guard.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly smelled a very stinky odor.
Da Zhuang immediately said in disgust, "You ate a rotten corpse? Why are you so disgusting? As an owl, don't you know how to hunt? Didn't your parents teach you? Oh, and do you have a wife?"
The owl that couldn't speak human language or bird language: "..."
It just makes that weird sound.
Da Zhuang was so frightened when he heard this that he flapped his wings and asked suspiciously, "Do we owls have different dialects?"
"Are you an owl from an enemy country?"
"Depend on!"
Da Zhuang flew back cautiously.
Seeing that he had found nothing, Xiao Huaiqing, who was hiding in the dark, immediately stepped forward, strangled the owl to death, and threw it to the ground.
But in reality, the owl was already on the verge of death, and now it was completely gone. Yuan Huaizhi also put the little ghost away, because without a body, birds can see things like souls.
Behind the courtyard wall, Da Zhuang quickly fluttered to Xiao Jingyun's side and said, "I'm telling you, I just found a strange owl. It seems to have been sent by the enemy country to gather information. Do you want to go out and take a look?"
Xiao Jingyun asked, "Can you speak human language?"
Da Zhuang shook his head.
Xiao Jingyun said: "Then it must have gotten lost. Otherwise, how would it transmit the information if it got it?"
"Speaking bird language?"
"Who do you think can hear the birds singing?"
Da Zhuang was speechless, and quickly added: "If your wife were here, she would definitely understand."
"You are so useless, you are not as good as your wife."
Xiao Jingyun sneered: "Are you useful?"
Then he pulled the string on its feet.
