Blue Moon Pass Council Hall.
Yan Suizhi was listening attentively to Chen Zuo's report.
In the hunting of the Mobei royal family, Prince Rui defeated all the prince hostages, topped the list, and received the jade ring personally bestowed by the Mobei king Timur.
Mrs. Xie's horse was frightened, causing her to mistakenly enter the hunting ground. Fortunately, she escaped safely in the end.
Chen Zuo finished speaking, not daring to breathe. Madam Xie was in danger, and the master's face looked so ugly.
Yan Suizhi's eyes darkened, and after a long moment he said, "Jin Bai's actions were too ostentatious."
Chen Zuo said hurriedly, "This can't be blamed on Prince Rui. He was hiding in the back at the time. It's just that the princes of Mobei are too useless."
"Why was Madam Xie's horse frightened, and how did it end up in the hunting grounds? Isn't it heavily guarded?"
"This is indeed a bit strange." Chen Zuo recounted the whole story.
"All of this seems to have been planned, one thing after another. The scheming of the person who set up this scheme is truly chilling. I still can't figure out why they are deliberately targeting Madam Xie."
After Chen Zuo finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame.
Yan Suizhi was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, "Go down, send someone to follow Madam Xie. We can't let her get into any more accidents, otherwise..."
"If Madam Xie has any more accidents, I will bring her head to me!" Chen Zuo said loudly.
Yan Suizhi was upset and afraid. Fortunately, Meimei was blessed by God and could always turn misfortune into fortune.
The soldiers informed him that General Liu Sheng had arrived, and he hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Liu Sheng had deliberately donned full armor to appear imposing, precisely to increase the pressure on Yan Suizhi. He had clearly been the one who proposed this matter, yet the Prime Minister had insisted on inserting one of his own, hindering the process. It was like putting a patch on a perfectly good piece of clothing; it was an eyesore no matter how you looked at it.
Liu Sheng strode in with a fierce and imposing manner, stood in the middle of the room, and asked bluntly, "Master Yan, have the soldiers' winter cotton-padded clothes not arrived yet?"
"I have sent someone to urge them, and they should be on the way. General, please be patient." Yan Suizhi said slowly.
He was naturally clear about the other party's mentality. Now they were at the border, far away from home. It was normal for Liu Sheng to ignore him and even squeeze him. He didn't have to confront him head-on.
Liu Sheng glanced at him disdainfully. "Lord Yan sits in this room all day, warm by the fire. He's naturally not in a hurry. But the soldiers are out in the fields wearing only light clothing. They're freezing! Blue Moon Pass is nothing like the capital. Not only in winter, but even in summer, snow can fall. Lord Yan has never led troops before, so he doesn't understand what goes on in a military camp. If a general doesn't take care of his soldiers, who will fight for you when the battle comes?"
Yan Suizhi said sternly, "General Liu, you are wrong! Soldiers are guarding the border for the country and fighting for the country, not for any one person!"
Liu Sheng then realized he had slipped up. Soldiers used fists, feet, and swords to speak, so their verbal skills were naturally inferior to those of the civilian officials. He stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, "Just tell me when this batch of military supplies will arrive. You're already cold. The veterans are doing better, but the new recruits who just arrived at Blue Moon Pass aren't used to the climate here, and several have already suffered frostbite."
Yan Suizhi frowned. He had already sent people back to the capital to urge the arrival of the troops, but the Ministry of War had been dragging its feet. He assumed it was Huang Yanjing's instructions. Huang Yanjing had hinted at this when he arrived.
However, factional struggles should not harm the soldiers who guard the border for the country.
Yesterday he received a secret letter from Huang Yanjing, accusing him of being too concerned about his political enemies and forgetting the purpose of his trip to Blue Moon Pass.
Huang Yanjing has always put his own interests above everything else. He already suspected that Yan Suizhi had turned away from him.
"General Liu, if you are really worried about this matter, you should go find the Regent and let him come forward." Yan Suizhi was also helpless.
Liu Sheng snorted disdainfully, "I knew you guys are a bunch of snakes and rats, only caring about your own little gains."
He turned around and walked out, the armor on his body making a rustling sound.
Yan Suizhi watched him walk away, then he leaned over the table, covered his mouth, and coughed violently, coughing so hard that his lungs almost burst out of his throat.
