Southern barbarian.
The messenger soldiers have been on the road for ten days already, riding on thousand-mile horses, traveling day and night without stopping. Logically, they should have reached Da Chu long ago.
But there has been no reply.
Qin Muyu sat in his tent, holding his cheek with one hand, glancing outside, thinking about something.
But Tuoba Mo beside him kept making noise:
"Uncle Qin, look at the Nine-Turn Loop Lock I put together!"
"Uncle Qin, let's go horseback hunting!"
"Uncle Qin..."
Climb up and down.
Sometimes he hugged his thighs, sometimes he pulled his arms, and sometimes he locked his throat.
Qin Muyu sat there, swaying back and forth, with a black forehead.
Where does this kid get so much energy?
He makes noise all day long and doesn't seem to be tired at all.
He lifted the man off his back and held him with one hand, watching the kid's feet dangling in the air with his limbs dangling in the air, his round eyes looking at him with great anticipation and excitement.
Like a dog seeing a bone.
"Amo, go out and play. I need to think about something."
"Uncle Qin, what do you want to think about? Ah Mo has a quick mind, so Ah Mo will help you think about it."
"This is my personal matter..."
That's all.
He is still young.
Even if I tell him, he won't understand.
Qin Muyu put him down and said, "Go play nearby."
"Uncle Qin, accompany me."
"I need to write a letter."
Hearing this, Tuoba Mo put down his hands obediently and stood aside, not pulling his hands to play anymore.
Qin Muyu picked up the pen.
Could it be that the Regent was too busy fighting and had no time to dispatch troops to Nanman to replace him? Or was it that the messenger was delayed on the way and the letter had not yet been delivered?
After thinking for a while, he put pen to paper and wrote another letter.
The general content of the letter is:
King Yin's conquest was going smoothly and he was gradually regaining the royal power. He requested to be transferred back to Da Chu...
After writing, he called a messenger and ordered:
"Send it to the regent of Great Chu immediately without delay."
"yes!"
The messenger received the order and immediately strode out, brought a fast horse, and set off immediately. The next second, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, "Ouch!"
Xiao Jue flashed out.
He supported the unconscious messenger with one hand and took out the secret letter from his arms with the other.
"I'm sorry, brother."
These are all the master's orders.
Don't blame him.
Xiao Jue received the secret letter and immediately delivered it to King Yin.
King Yin took a quick look and his brows knitted together, "Is he serious?"
Do you really want to go back to Da Chu?
Such a bad temper.
"I just teased him a few times and teased him once, but he really wants to leave? You are a grown man, you can't take a joke."
"Xiao Jue, tell me, is this person petty?"
Xiao Jue: “…”
Major General Qin burned Tuoba Mingyue's granary, disrupted Tuoba Mingyue's military plan, and made a great contribution.
But when I got back to the camp, I was doused with cold water, which chilled my heart and made me feel depressed.
Who can understand this?
Who can bear such a great humiliation?
Master, please have some conscience!
King Yin crumpled up the letter and said, "You should write a letter immediately and send it to the Regent of Great Chu, saying that General Qin has made great military achievements and is young and promising. He is highly valued by the king. If he can help me all the way until I ascend the throne, I will send him back."
"By then, we must ensure that the two countries of Da Chu will be on good terms and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous era."
Xiao Jue smiled knowingly.
Yes, that's right.
The master wants to keep Young General Qin by his side.
That's right.
He smiled like an old mother and said, "Master, rest assured. I will write the letter right away."
Just after writing the letter and sending someone to deliver it, I saw the master walking out of the tent. Not far away, there was the figure of Young General Qin playing with the sand map with the young master.
Although the young master was still young, he could use his hands to shape cities, hills and other locations in the sand pit.
Qin Muyu saw this and couldn't help but admire:
"good."
Tuoba Mo has chubby cheeks and looks very cute:
"I see that the sand map in my father's camp is like this. This is our position, this is Aunt Mingyue's territory, and this side..."
The kid followed the instructions one by one and had an amazing memory.
Qin Muyu frowned, "Mingyue...Auntie?"
She seems to be in her early twenties, not that old, right?
"Amo, you and the princess are of the same generation, you should address each other as brother and sister."
"Um?"
Tuoba Mo twisted his head in confusion, "But father said Aunt Mingyue is old, calling her sister is taking advantage of me, and he also said that she is old, ugly and blind, and told her not to try to be related to me."
"..."
Is this how King Yin usually raises his children?
At this time, a arrogant laugh was heard:
"Good boy!"
"Father!"
King Yin opened his palm, passed it under Tuoba Mo's armpit, and held the child steadily. "You are worthy of being my good son. You should take my words to heart. That's right."
Tuoba Mo smiled sweetly.
King Yin looked at Qin Muyu beside him and asked tentatively:
"The war is still undecided, so General Qin shouldn't be in a hurry to go anywhere, right?"
Qin Muyu said coldly: "I have military duties to attend to. I will not leave Nanman even a step."
"That's good."
King Yin laughed, "I am planning to marry the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. You can stay and have a drink at the wedding."
Xiao Jue: “?”
"No need, I don't like drinking." Qin Muyu turned around and left coldly.
Tuoba Mo: "?"
King Yin: "...Why is this person so difficult to get along with?"
Xiao Jue: “…”
My Lord, I hope you can keep Young General Qin here so that he can recover his memory, not so that you can annoy him every day.

night.
The night outside the city was as peaceful as water. Only the vast moonlight enveloped the temple. The bright yellow roof was hidden among the dense branches and leaves, and a plaque was dimly visible - Tianling Temple.
Midnight.
Everything was in deep sleep and it was extremely quiet. The little monk who was keeping watch sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against a pillar, and his head was dozing off little by little.
The night breeze blows gently.
A slender figure passed by as lightly as a cat, without attracting any attention.
It’s Chu Li.
She looked around, followed the shadow of the wall, stepped lightly through the archway, and entered the meditation room at the back.
Squeak——
The door is pushed and closed gently.
In the Zen room, there are Buddha statues hanging, cushions placed there, candles and incense burning. It is clean and simple, with the air filled with the peaceful scent of sandalwood.
The little monk came from Tianling Temple, so his "godfather" must also be from the temple.
Chu Li's identity made it inconvenient for him to search at night.
She quickly searched the room but found nothing, so she quietly retreated and entered the next room.
Touch each room one by one.
Fortunately, she had been to Tianling Temple many times over the years and was relatively familiar with the layout of the houses in the temple. After a small tour, she found nothing unusual.
She quietly entered the next room.
I searched around but found nothing.
When I was about to leave, I unexpectedly noticed that the low table on the desk was missing a leg and was being propped up by two scriptures.
Chu Li stopped.
Monks have Buddha in their hearts. To them, scriptures are sacred things. How can they be used as table legs?
She frowned slightly, walked over, took out the two scriptures, and found that the bottom panel was loose.
After peeling off the board, he slowly pulled out a...
A bellyband embroidered with peony flowers.
