In the Xing family military camp, Xing Lie, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was extremely irritable, gnashing his teeth as he read the letters coming from Yishu Pass.
Han Wenjing and Chen Zhidong exchanged a glance, and the former stepped forward to offer comfort: "Major General, Lord Lin is a man of good fortune, and he will be fine."
Ever since Xing Lie, Han Wenjing and Sanliang escaped capture and successfully joined forces with the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion thanks to Lin Rui's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, they understood that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and left 500 elite soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion at Yishu Pass to continue searching for Lin Rui.
If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!
The words of comfort sounded a little pale. Everyone understood that with the absurd and hateful behavior of Yishu Pass, which was so bad that they even ate human flesh to feed the soldiers, Lord Lin's survival rate was probably only one in ten.
A personal guard hurried in from outside the door: "Major General, Lord Lin's family is here again to inquire about the situation."
Although Feng Zhenniang and Lin Changxi were a little worried about this trip, they were not at a loss. The major general was accompanied by 3,000 troops to escort them, so there should be no problems.
But after hearing the news that the major general was attacked at Yishu Pass, the Lin family could no longer sit still.
Lin Changxi, Feng Zhenniang, Lin Changtai, Lin Changhe and others came to the outside of the military camp several times to inquire about Lin Rui's news. Xing Lie asked those who knew the inside story to speak with one voice and only said that there were spies from Yishu Pass in the army and they needed to be investigated one by one. They would be released home only after their suspicion was cleared.
These words could not dispel the doubts of Lin Changxi and others. Now that the Lin's workshop has become bigger, the Lin family manager in the workshop is no longer as ignorant of the news as the ordinary people in the past. After careful investigation, they learned the real situation, which was like a bomb exploding over their heads: Lin Rui disappeared with the major general in Yishu Pass!
Another version said that Lord Lin risked his life alone to lead the enemy away in order to save the Major General, and the people in the barracks said that the hope of survival was slim.
Although the Lin's Workshop belongs to the Lin family, everyone knows that Lin Rui is behind it to protect it, especially since his status in the Xing family army camp has risen rapidly, making the Lin's Workshop a golden signboard in Huangmoguan.
But if he died, the Lin workshop would be divided up. The recipe for making tofu is actually not difficult to learn. Without the protection of the Lin family, those outsiders could make a small profit, which would be enough to make the workers in the workshop defect.
Having been in business for so long, the Lin family knows best what kind of relationships are completely vulnerable to the effects of interests.
If it weren't for Lin Rui, Fang Chengrong's case would no longer be an isolated incident, but would happen again and again. When people leave, the tea gets cold to them. How long can the young general protect him?
Compared to Lin Changxi, Lin Dajie, Lin Erjie and others who were most concerned about Lin Rui's safety, even the people of the Lin family who had fled together from the famine had to consider their interests.
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
After hearing this, Feng Zhenniang almost cried her eyes out. Every day, she and Lin Changxi and her elder sister Zhao Qinglin came to the gate of the military camp to wait for news about Lin Rui.
Because of Lin Rui's special position and the fact that he saved a major general, the soldiers in the barracks naturally did not dare to neglect them. They always invited them to wait in the tent specially set up at the door.
Xing Lie was also heartbroken. If it were before this incident, he would have thought that Lin Rui was just a capable minister under his rule, but this time at Yishu Pass, Lin Rui actually risked his life for him. Such a loyal minister was rare in the world. Such a loyal and capable minister died at Yishu Pass!
Han Wenjing also knew at this moment that any words of comfort would be pale. The loss of Lord Lin was a great blow not only to the Major General, but also to the entire Xing family army, whose morale was low.
Ever since Lord Lin took office and set up a hot pot factory, there has been a constant supply of meat in the military camp. Every now and then, a few pigs are brought from Baituo Town to provide everyone with a snack. There is plenty of bean dregs cakes and multi-grain cakes. The 3,000 soldiers in the Flying Tiger Battalion look much more energetic when they go out than the 30,000 soldiers in General Xing's East and West Camps.
At this time, Sanliang rushed in from outside the camp: "Young General, please let me go back to Yishu Pass. I want to find my master!"
Sanliang's eyes were bloodshot, and he hated Yishu Pass's actions. When he parted with his master, he was entrusted by him to bring the young general back to Huangmo Pass. But now he had done what he promised, but his master had broken his promise.
Lin Rui treats him as more than just a master. Let's put it this way: a god who holds down the butcher's knife, a savior who saves him from danger, and a master who treats him as a human being and gives him dignity.
Sanliang knew that Lin Rui had never considered himself a servant or a slave, but in his heart, he would be a loyal servant of the Lin family and Lord Lin for the rest of his life.
So at this moment he stood up without hesitation to find his master, even if it meant losing his life in Yishu Pass.
Xing Lie looked at Deputy General Wang who was catching up from behind. Wang Sanhu scratched his head and said, "Major General, I, your subordinates, were not able to stop him!"
The only one in the entire army who has the strength to fight against Sanliang is Wang Sanhu. Although he cannot defeat Sanliang, he has the ability to stop him from gaining advantage. Now Sanliang has broken in, which means that Wang Sanhu has the same idea and wants to go to Yishu Pass to rescue people.
Xing Lie rubbed his forehead and said, "You guys step back first. Let me think about it!"
"Yes!" Sanliang was about to speak, but Han Wenjing quickly gave him a look: "Didn't you hear what the young general said? Get out of here!"
Wang Sanhu pulled the reluctant Sanliang away, and Han Wenjing excused them, "Major General, please calm down. Lieutenant General Wang and Sanliang were so worried that they did something as reckless as trespassing into the military camp."
Xing Lie smiled bitterly and looked at Han Wenjing: "How could I not know the character of my deputy general?"
Another personal guard hurried in from outside, entered the tent and immediately saluted Xing Lie, then said, "Major General, the young lady is here!"
Xing Lie was a little surprised: "Who? Miss? Are you saying my sister came to see me?"
Xing Feiyan was led to the tent camp by Xing Lie's personal guards. Seeing his injured right foot wrapped in gauze, his chest tightened. He looked at him and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
Xing Lie dismissed the others. Han Wenjing, Xu Shaoxuan, and the others tactfully left. When they were alone in the tent, Xing Lie said, "It's not bad. The doctor said it will heal in a few months. The trap was strong, but it was rescued in time, so it didn't cause any damage."
Xing Feiyan covered her chest and said, "That's okay, it's okay."
Xing Lie looked at her bulging belly with fear: "Are you just hoping for my death? You're so pregnant and about to give birth, yet you still come all the way to see me in such a state?"
Xing Feiyan frowned and looked at him: "Xing Lie, what nonsense are you talking about! You are my brother. Even if you are sad and angry about your father's favoritism, it can't erase the fact that we are brothers from the same mother. We may quarrel or fight, but when have we ever drawn a knife against each other?"
Xing Lie really wanted to say that without her seeing, he and Fang Pingshan had fought many times with each other, and the power she got from her father had nourished Fang Pingshan's rising desire for profit.
