Chapter 38 Beifeng Front Fake Xie Zhuang Translation Real Min Shian
The military supervisor Xie Zhuangyi also came with the imperial decree. Xiao Wangjing investigated thoroughly for several days but found nothing. In desperation, he had to secretly put under custody those who had passed through that road during the battles.
He went to apologize to his father, General Xiao, but was sent by his father to welcome the military supervisor. Although most of them were sent by Song Sheng, he knew that his father never liked to deal with these people in the court, so he hurried to greet him.
Song Sheng had good intentions and had always sent some people here symbolically. However, there were always some who were confused and thought they were being given important positions. They would give orders to the army openly or secretly. Although they had no deterrent effect, the general could not make things difficult for them for Song Sheng's sake.
From then on, the heavy burden of dealing with the military supervision fell on Xiao Wangjing.
However, the military supervisor this time was different. It was Taichang who came in person, which was enough to show how much importance Song Sheng attached to this battle.
"Your Excellency, you must be exhausted from the journey. Please come this way."
Xiao Wangjing subconsciously scrutinized the military supervisor in front of him. He saw that Xie Zhuangyi had a wooden face and exuded the aura of an old-fashioned scholar, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This type of people are actually the least likely to cause trouble, because although they are stubborn about some issues, they also have a deep understanding of themselves, are decent, and will not do anything petty.
"General Xiao, you're very polite. It's my duty."
Min Shian tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, remained serious, and responded indifferently, imitating Xie Zhuangyi's translation.
Then she followed Xiao Wangjing into the military camp to meet General Xiao.
She originally thought that Song Sheng was planning something evil again, but later she found out that she was just judging others by her own narrow-mindedness. Song Sheng knew that Xie Zhuangyi was her man and that she was proficient in the art of disguise, and he came to the princess's mansion to tell her in advance.
It was obvious that Song Sheng intended to let her come.
She probably realized that their ultimate goal was the same, but Song Sheng was unable to leave Beijing due to his status, so he simply did her a favor and sent her to Beifeng.
Min Shi calmed himself down, looked directly at General Xiao who was in the first position, and said word by word, "General, please send all the outsiders away. I have something to say."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.
After a moment, General Xiao nodded, and everyone left the tent in an orderly manner after receiving the order. Among them, a burly man pretended to bump into her accidentally when he passed by her.
Min Shian was prepared and moved his feet slightly. Although his body was shaken a little by the collision, he suffered no substantial harm.
General Xiao, who was sitting above, moved his eyes slightly, taking in everything.
He wasn't used to beating around the bush, so he asked simply, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Min Shian cleared her throat. Even though she had actually been on the battlefield, she couldn't help but feel a palpitation when she saw Xiao Baizhan fighting his way out of a sea of blood and corpses.
Xiao Baizhan was just sitting there, but he was already intimidating.
This is the real God of Killing.
"General, I heard that you have been working as a spy recently. I am very..."
A breeze brushed past her ears, and her neck felt a chill, followed by a slight sting. She slowly added the rest of her words: "Distress."
She chuckled softly and met Xiao Baizhan's murderous gaze without fear. She ignored the blood that continued to flow from her neck and said calmly, "General, don't worry."
"Don't play tricks."
After Xiao Baizhan finished speaking, he put away his sword and returned to the top seat, looking down at her condescendingly.
…
Half an hour later, she was escorted back to the tent by Xiao Baizhan himself.
Several small-scale frictions have broken out on the front line. The Northern Witches seem to know everything, but they don't attack deeply. Xiao Wangjing doesn't dare to fight because of the spy incident, so he can only respond to changes with the same strategy.
Min Shi'an, under the pretext of being a military supervisor, asked to follow Xiao Wangjing and stay at the front line together.
"Master Taichang, this..." Xiao Wangjing frowned, carefully considering his words, and after a while he continued, "Swords have no eyes. Master, please stay in the rear to supervise the army."
Xiao Wangjing was a little confused as to why his father, who had a lot of complaints about the military supervisor, could easily agree to this request, but military orders were like mountains, so he didn't dare to have any objections and could only try to persuade "Xie Zhuangyi" to leave on his own.
"That's fine, General Xiao, don't worry. I won't interfere with any of your decisions."
Min Shian ignored him, left these words lightly, and turned to go back into the tent.
Xiao Wangjing was definitely better at fighting. She came here to prevent that man from doing anything tricky. Watching the front line would also help her come up with countermeasures more quickly. After all, sometimes some small details were enough to cause a complete collapse of the war.
She had to be cautious.
The power of the military supervisor was naturally not that great, so she simply revealed her identity to Xiao Baizhan in the tent just now, used Song Sheng as her trump card, and successfully persuaded him to come to the front line with Xiao Wangjing.
He also gave her a series of conveniences. Although it was for Song Sheng's sake, she pretended not to know and happily agreed to all of them.
At this time, she was looking through the recent files, trying to find some suspicious points.
After that raid, the Northern Witch Army never engaged in direct conflict with the Northern Army again. They only engaged in small-scale harassment, which was a common tactic used by the Tatagisk people.
She read it carefully several times before turning the pages.
Min Shian always believed that as long as something has been done, corresponding traces will be found.
Soon, she noticed something strange.
Last winter, at the end of November, two soldiers suddenly developed high fever and died.
Although the Xiao family had historically used their wealth to subsidize military expenses, making them somewhat poorer than other aristocratic families, they would never allow their soldiers to suffer from sudden high fevers due to the cold.
What's more, the military doctors on the border are all skilled in healing, so why can't they cure high fever?
Min Shian wrote down the two names and continued to flip through the pages, focusing on the battles related to the distant mountain path.
Sure enough, she saw the two of them in the records of a surprise attack in early June of the previous year.
Unexpectedly, they were not only very brave, but one of them even served as the captain of the stormtroopers, always rushing to the forefront of the battlefield.
She frowned slightly. If that was the case, then why did these two people die so strangely? And at that time.
Min Shian flipped forward and found no other records related to this time, so she started from the time when these two people joined the Northern Army and began to read word by word.
A quarter of an hour later, she put the file back into the lock with a solemn look on her face, and walked out of the tent thoughtfully, only to run into a fragrant embrace head-on.
"Oh, Master Taichang, please be careful."
Min Shian took two steps back, looked up in shock, and met a pair of smiling eyes.
He Jing?!
She instantly came to her senses, bowed and apologized, saying, "I have disturbed Her Royal Highness, and I deserve death."
She then pondered for a moment, then continued in a deep voice, "But...why is His Highness here?"
As a military supervisor, it is reasonable for her to be here, but He Jinggui is a princess, and it is an exception for her to condescend to follow Xiao Shuoshang to Beifeng. How can she come to the front line?
It is absolutely unacceptable both morally and logically, and both publicly and privately.
He Jing smiled brightly, her every gesture revealing her feminine charm. She replied, "I once stayed in Beiwu for a while. Has your Excellency forgotten?"
"Your Highness's righteousness will always be remembered in my heart. How could I dare to forget it?" Min Shian bowed his head and saluted, hiding the emotions surging in his eyes.
So she couldn't find any fault with it.
He Jing went to Beiwu to marry a member of the Tatakisk tribe. She was familiar with the internal affairs of the tribe and knew some information that the troops stationed in the north did not know.
"Although I am a woman, I also want to do my part. For the sake of peace and prosperity for my country and my family, I have consulted with Shuo Shang and volunteered to come here."
Min Shian looked up, all kinds of emotions intertwined in his heart, and finally turned into a sigh in his heart.
After a long while, she finally said, "Your Highness, I am sincerely convinced."
He Jing smiled sweetly, followed the line of sight of Xie Zhuangyi and looked towards the tent behind him. He asked, "If I remember correctly, this seems to be the tent where the files and documents are stored?"
"My Lord, what is the matter with you?"
Min Shian was startled, and was just considering how to respond when he heard He Jing cough lightly and said apologetically, "Your Excellency is busy with official business and cannot speak. It is my fault for being rude."
"No problem. I came here merely to review the files to see if there were any issues. Now that I have confirmed that there are no issues, please do as you please, Princess. I will take my leave."
During the interruption just now, Min Shian organized his words in an instant, quickly ended the conversation, and bowed to say goodbye.
Min Shian deliberately went around to the tent next to her, then quietly leaned out to search for He Jing's figure. She locked onto the target effortlessly and followed him in a few flashes.
This is a special period, and she will not allow any accidents to happen.
He Jing wandered around for a few times as if she was lost. Min Shian saw her enter Xiao Shuoshang's tent with his own eyes before turning around and leaving.
The sun was setting in the west and the sky was gradually getting dark. Min Shian felt weak all over. After returning to the tent, he lit a candle and walked towards the bed.
Min Shian moved her wrist slightly, and the dagger slipped from her sleeve. She held it firmly in her hand. She looked into the dark corner of the tent and said in a deep voice, "Who's there?"
"Get out!"
A muffled laugh was heard, and Song Sheng strode out from the corner and said slowly, "Your Highness has a good eye. I was hiding so secretly, but you found me."
Min Shian raised an eyebrow, retracted the dagger, looked around, and finally lay cross-legged on the carpet, frowning and said, "Why are you here instead of staying in Beijing?"
"If someone with ulterior motives finds out, Lord Song, I'm afraid the situation will change."
She had finally managed to form a united front with Song Sheng, and she didn't want to be caught in a trap and be implicated.
Song Sheng's smile deepened. He naturally sat down cross-legged opposite Min Shi'an and replied, "Your Highness, don't worry. I will return tomorrow. No one will notice and it won't delay the important matters."
Hearing this, Min Shian frowned, trying to figure out what she had missed. Then, puzzled, she asked, "So, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Song Sheng suddenly moved closer, their breaths intertwined, Min Shian's heart skipped a beat, and the scent of Song Sheng's agarwood lingered on his nose.
"Of course..."
