Li Ruochen, who was reading a book, was slightly taken aback when she heard about this. She had been curious about who had helped her, and now it seemed she might be able to meet the real person. She just hoped that this so-called real person was not an imposter.
"Bring them in, bring them directly to me. Of course, unrelated people don't need to come along."
After receiving the order, the veteran released Ning Ye's convoy, but took Ning Ye away alone.
Looking at his target, which should be the main tent of the central army, Ning Ye was not afraid at all. Even though he had never met Li Ruochen, he knew what kind of personality Li Ruochen was and that he would never do anything bad easily.
Upon entering the tent, Ning Ye felt that the woman in front of him was not only heroic and spirited, but also had a scholarly air about her. Although there was a scar on her face, it did not affect Li Ruochen's temperament at all.
As a woman, Li Ruochen is exceptionally tall, and the bright silver tiger and leopard armor she wears further accentuates her outstanding temperament.
While Ning Ye was sizing up Li Ruochen, Li Ruochen was also sizing up this guy who showed no fear of him.
This is a skill that most people wouldn't dare to use to stare at them so directly. Although there's no hint of offense in their eyes, for some people it would be a capital offense.
After nearly a year of recuperation, Ning Ye's height had exceeded 1.8 meters. While he could not be described as physically imposing, he certainly looked very powerful.
In addition, even if her face isn't outstanding, it's still quite pleasing to the eye; she's the kind of person who grows on you the more you look at her.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ning Ye spoke first: "I've long heard that General Li is not only a great warrior, but also a man of exceptional talent. Seeing him today confirms it."
Li Ruochen smiled and said, "Young Master Ning, besides the usual gifts from the Ministry of War, someone secretly sent some things over a while ago. I'm curious who this person is."
"To be honest, those grain and supplies were ill-gotten gains, and I didn't want to keep them, so I gave them to the general directly. I wonder if the general intends to punish me?"
"Oh, you brought me something but think I'd punish you? Why is that? Do I not look like a good person?"
Ning Ye scratched his head and said, "It was General Li who suddenly brought this up. I thought he was going to interrogate me."
Li Ruochen put down the book and walked up to Ning Ye. "I feel a familiar feeling about you. I wonder if you came here when Satisfaction invaded before?"
Ning Ye nodded and said, "I did come here. I even helped with a few small things back then, nothing to mention. I wonder where that general I met back then is now? Could I meet him?"
Li Ruochen's eyes dimmed. "That's my third uncle. It's just a pity that I'm afraid you won't be able to meet him."
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know that was the case. It's all my fault for being so talkative."
"It's alright, ignorance is no excuse. Besides, my third uncle said you're different from others, a very promising talent. How about it? Are you interested in coming here? Although serving in the army is indeed tough, I think there will definitely be better opportunities in the future."
Ning Ye quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, General Li, but my ambition lies elsewhere. I have come here today because I have something to ask of you. I only hope that General Li can make an exception for me so that I can do something."
"To be honest, I hate it when people use the border to do things, but you did a good job last time and I haven't rewarded you yet. Consider this a favor I'm doing you. Just tell me what you need."
"I just want to get out of here for a while, and I hope I can come back safely. That's enough."
Hearing such a request, Li Ruochen was quite surprised. After all, it was something Ning Ye had done before. In fact, she was willing to consider any request, even if it was something difficult, she would do her best to handle it.
But now, he's only making this vague request. Li Ruochen couldn't help but say, "Have you thought it through? I can do it even if you change the request. I'm afraid you don't know that some things aren't difficult for me."
"General Li, rest assured, I am not here to break through in Xi'an. I simply want to borrow a passage. If General Li finds this difficult, I can think of another way."
Seeing that Ning Ye didn't seem to be joking, Li Ruochen had no choice but to agree. After all, it was just a small matter and really wasn't a problem.
"The area outside the pass is not like the area inside the pass. Many things are very chaotic. If you encounter those who are overly compliant, there is no way to reason with them. If you encounter them, you must run away as fast as you can. Your life is the most important thing."
Ning Ye clasped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, General Li, I know what's important. I brought a small gift for you beforehand, and I hope you will like it."
"It's just some food and supplies, why is there something else you're giving to me personally?"
Ning Ye took out a wooden box from his pocket. "I call this a telescope. It can see everything within a radius of a thousand meters clearly. I believe this will be very useful for the general."
Li Ruochen immediately took it, but as soon as it was placed in front of him in the tent, he felt dizzy.
However, when Li Ruochen arrived at the window, he realized just how useful the telescope was.
Li Ruochen immediately became quite fond of it. After all, with this device, one could gain the upper hand in detecting enemy movements and gaining intelligence, allowing the enemy to discover one's presence even if the enemy couldn't see one.
"Great, I really like this little gift of yours. I've never heard of anything like it before. Did you make it yourself?"
"You believe it's just because you've been here too long. The Western Regions already have this kind of thing, but they call it 'Thousand-Mile Eyes.' After I made some modifications, it's much more useful than theirs."
Li Ruochen stroked the binoculars. "I just gave you a reward, and now you've given me such a useful gift. What else should I give you?"
Ning Ye waved his hands repeatedly, "These are all my heartfelt wishes for the border generals. If General Li insists on returning the favor, it would make me feel that he is not being very respectful."
