Chapter 404: Mr. Su’s Idea
Murong Li smiled and said, "Yuer, go and have a rest now. I still have to go outside to deal with something."
After that stinky Taoist priest left, most people would not be suspicious of the Shadowless Army. The captives were under control, but the people from Dongfeng Country who came to take over had not arrived yet, so they had to wait in the camp.
Now the captives are all in a panic and no one pays attention to the Shadowless Army, but the same cannot be said for the people sent by Dongfeng Country. If someone among them discovers the Shadowless Army, it will add a lot of trouble.
That's not a matter of talking, it requires action.
Su Yue shook her head: "No, the Shadowless Army hasn't taken them in yet, and the people from the East Phoenix Kingdom haven't arrived yet. I'm going to sleep, what if I miss them?"
"Okay then, you stay inside. It's cold outside. I'll go out and take a look."
Su Yue nodded and said, "Okay, then you have to be careful. If you see the Shadowless Army disappear, it means people from the Dongfeng Kingdom have arrived."
"Well, I'm leaving then."
After Murong Li finished speaking, he hugged Su Yue and left the yard, running straight to the prisoner camp to find An Yi and the others.
Su Yue returned to the bedroom and lit the stove in the bedroom. Then she slipped into the space and cooked a meal for the two of them. After it was ready, she brought it out and ate it while releasing her mental power to check.
They returned neither fast nor slow. When the people of Dongfeng Country found out that they were not dead and had returned to Qingniu Pass, they would definitely send people to receive these prisoners. The people they sent would definitely not travel by carriage, but would use lightness skills to travel, and it would probably arrive soon.
After Murong Li arrived at the camp, he saw the cooks in the camp cooking. The ingredients were all from Dongfeng Kingdom, so they used them to make meals.
The food is not bad. There is meat, vegetables and white flour buns to eat in the middle of winter.
After An Yi had made all the arrangements, he saw his master coming and hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Master, everything has been arranged. We don't need the soldiers in the city to guard here. Should we let them go back or stay here?"
There are a thousand secret guards and the Shadowless Army. The soldiers in the city will be useless if they stay here.
"Let them have their fill before they go back."
There is meat, vegetables and steamed buns here. I can't go back hungry.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Murong Li nodded.
Seeing that everything was in order and the captives did not cause any trouble, he flew to the top of the city wall, found a place to sit cross-legged, and looked in the direction of Dongfeng Kingdom.
After Su Yue finished her meal, she saw Murong Li sitting alone on the city wall, so she went out and went to the top of the city wall to bring him food.
"Why is Yue'er here?"
Murong Li heard footsteps and saw that it was Su Yue coming. He hurriedly got up, hugged her in his arms, and grabbed her hand to warm her.
"I'm bringing you food. Are you hungry?"
Murong Li touched his belly and found that he was indeed a little hungry. He nodded.
"It's not convenient to eat here, let's go back and eat," he said.
"good."
It’s really not a good idea to eat in this snowy weather.
So the two of them returned to the yard, and Su Yue placed the food on the table for Murong Li to eat.
"Has Yue'er eaten?"
Murong Li asked while looking at someone's food.
"I've eaten, this is for you."
Murong Li nodded and started eating without hesitation.
He was indeed hungry. They had been traveling for the past few days and neither of them had a good meal or sleep.
If there wasn't something happening in the city, he would have wanted to have a good sleep.
Su Yue sat next to him and watched him eat, thinking about things in the capital. The Lantern Festival had already passed, and she wondered how Su Xue was doing.
Also, they are not in the capital, so they don’t know if Murong Yi is causing trouble.
"Murong Li, is there any news from the capital?"
Murong Li looked up at Su Yue after hearing this, paused and said, "Ask An Yi later."
He had also forgotten about this matter, and it seemed that he had not received any news from the capital for several days.
Thinking of this, he quickly finished his meal, said something to Su Yue, and then quickly came to the camp to find An Yi.
An Yi nodded after hearing this and said, "Master, I just happened to report to you about what happened in the capital."
Hearing An Yi's tone, Murong Li asked, "Did something happen in the capital?"
An Yi said: "No big things, but there are a lot of small things."
The two chose a secluded place to sit down and talk.
An Yi continued, "Our people delivered the news of Qingniu Pass first. The emperor wanted to send troops to rescue and even send food and fodder, but was stopped by Prince Yi."
Murong Li frowned: "What reason did he press it?"
An Yi: "Prince Yi said that we were defeated at Qingniu Pass and now there are only a few people left, so there is no need for food and fodder. He said that you, my master, can definitely arrange it here, don't you have food and fodder from Dongfeng Kingdom?
As for soldiers, Prince Yi said that at least 100,000 should be sent, but how could the Western Feng Kingdom spare 100,000 soldiers now? What would happen if they were taken elsewhere? So he said that he would immediately recruit soldiers after the spring and then send them here.
Murong Li snorted coldly after hearing this: "He is really clever, trying to tie me up here."
But Murong Yi is really stupid. Can he tie him up for a while or for a lifetime? He can even use such a clumsy method.
It’s just that the guy is always good at being clever, and I don’t know what bad things he is planning.
Murong Li asked again, "What did my father-in-law say?"
Uncle Su should have a letter.
An Yi sighed and said, "Although Lord Su is not happy with Prince Yi's behavior, what he said is indeed the case. The court really cannot withdraw troops now. If they withdraw troops from other places, the troops will be weakened and they will probably start another war.
"Master Su means that the master can recruit soldiers from the surrounding area. It's faster than recruiting soldiers from the imperial court. After all, the recruits are all new recruits. Soldiers recruited here can be trained immediately and are much more useful than new recruits from the imperial court."
"Recruiting here?"
Murong Li murmured, his eyes lighting up. His father-in-law was quite smart, this was a good idea.
Most of the people at this border have some martial arts skills. He recruits soldiers at a high price and doesn't believe that he can't recruit useful soldiers.
"Oh, by the way, Lord Su also wrote in his letter that Second Miss Su had already gotten married during the Lantern Festival. He told the two masters not to worry, as Second Miss Su is doing very well."
"Oh? Did my father-in-law really say that?"
An nodded: "Exact words."
The communications between the secret guards will not be kept after reading them, but will be destroyed directly. This is why you, Murong, went to ask An Yi directly.
Murong Li didn't expect Su Xue to get married so soon, and she was very happy, which meant that she liked this marriage very much.
Thinking about Su Xue, that gentle, lovely and simple-minded girl, she will change one day.
I'm afraid that I'll have to stand on the opposite side of them in the future, and Yue'er won't know how sad and difficult it will be then.
