Chapter 288 That’s a Big Trouble
Jin Feiang arrived at Qin Yuelin's tent. After a round of greetings, Qin Qingyao got straight to the point. "There's a jianghu organization called the Cangshan Sect. Commander Jin, have you heard of it?"
Jin Feiang nodded, "Indeed, I have heard of it, because their people seem to be coming to Yulin City quite frequently recently, but I have never dealt with them."
"Commander Jin, I, the princess, now order you to immediately select the elites in the army to find the location of their sect, and then send troops to encircle and suppress the Cangshan Sect!"
"Those who surrender will be sent home, and those who resist will be killed without mercy. Then, burn their sect to ashes. Not a single beam or tile will be left!"
"This... I dare to ask why, Princess..."
"They tried to assassinate me time and again, and even killed the old lady of the Yang Mansion. Is this reason enough?"
Jin Feiang clasped his fists and bowed, as if he had accepted the order, and then waited for Qin Yuelin to speak. After all, he was the actual head of the Yanling Army.
Qin Yuelin was very excited to get the Yanling Army, but he was also a little guilty in his excitement, because he got in entirely because of his relationship with King Wuling. In terms of martial arts and leading troops in battle, he was dozens of miles behind Jin Feiang.
So in the barracks, he was always humble, trained very hard, and wanted to gain the recognition of his brothers in the army. For this reason, he never returned home since he came in.
After he took over the Yanling Army, he never ordered them to do anything. As a result, when his sister came, she assigned him such a big task. Should he accompany her?
"Third brother, what are you thinking about?"
"I just think it's not a good idea to let the Yanling Army handle this kind of thing."
"Who should we send? The government? The yamen runners? By the time they get the evidence, the dynasty will have changed! Besides, with their weight, do you really want them to go and kill themselves with those gangsters?"
"But……"
"What are you hesitating about? Are you worried that the Yanling Army won't be able to complete the mission, or do you think I'm overqualified?"
Jin Feiang, "Please rest assured, General. I and others will definitely be able to complete the mission!"
Jin Feiang's call of "General" almost made Qin Yuelin blush. On the contrary, his sister's aura was like that of a female general.
Qin Yuelin straightened up and said, "Well, then do as the princess said. Go and choose someone. Be careful!"
"yes!"
"Commander Jin, if you go in person, it would be like overkill. Just give the order. I have something else to tell you."
Qin Yuelin, "What else do you have to say?"
"What are you so excited about?"
"I'm afraid you'll tear down the barracks!"
Qin Qingyao, "..."
Normally, she wouldn't mind arguing with her third brother, but now, she really doesn't have the energy.
Jin Feiang quickly passed on Qin Qingyao's order. They were King Wuling's private army and did not need the court's approval to take action. Moreover, even if the court found out and had objections to their actions in eliminating bandits and bandits for the people, there was no reason to do anything to them.
What's more, although no one knows what reason they have to assassinate the princess and the old lady, the princess will definitely not joke about such a thing. As for the evidence, they will have it once they capture the people from the Cangshan Sect and interrogate them thoroughly.
When Jin Feiang returned to the tent, Qin Qingyao was the only one there. "Princess!"
"Commander Jin, I have a question for you. If the prince came to the Yanling Army one day and ordered you to do something, would you do it or not?"
Jin Feiang, "Do it."
Is there no need to hesitate or think twice? Qin Qingyao's heart trembled. That would be a big trouble!
Dugu Yu now only believes in Lin Xiafeng and thinks she is the best person in the world. What if Lin Xiafeng coaxes him again and asks him to use the Yanling Army to do something irreparable?
Although Dugu Yu handed over the Yanling Army to Qin Yuelin, they were not the imperial army. They would obey whoever held the military command. Ultimately, they were willing to obey Qin Yuelin because that was Dugu Yu's request.
To everyone in the Yanling Army, Dugu Yu is their idol and their faith. No matter what happens at any time, they will always obey Dugu Yu.
"What if the prince gave a very unusual order, one that you knew would never be given under normal circumstances? Would you obey? For example, if he asked you to arrest me?"
Jin Feiang, "What?"
Qin Qingyao would not have such worries about Zhao Jinghan at all, because Zhao Jinghan was with Dugu Yu every day. He knew Dugu Yu better than anyone else. He would never do something that would make Dugu Yu extremely regretful after regaining his memory just because he obeyed orders.
But it’s hard to say about Jin Feiang. A soldier’s duty is to obey orders!
"There's something I must tell you. If you don't believe me, you can come back with me and see for yourself, but you can only do it secretly. You absolutely cannot let the prince see you, because I think it's best not to remind him of the Yanling Army right now!"
If he found out that he would actually hand over the entire Yanling Army to the Qin family, he would definitely be in disbelief and very unhappy. If he told Lin Xiafeng about it while they were drinking and chatting, and they were talking about their hearts, it would be strange if Lin Xiafeng didn't react!
Qin Qing briefly told Jin Feiang about Dugu Yu's current situation, and Jin Feiang's first reaction was, "So, Your Majesty didn't know that you ordered your subordinates to send troops to encircle and suppress the Cangshan Sect?"
Qin Qingyao, "..."
"Yes, he doesn't know. But if he hadn't lost his memory, he would definitely support my decision. He might even go and catch the murderer himself to avenge the old lady, don't you think?"
Jin Feiang didn't say anything, but Qin Qingyao knew very well what he was thinking. No matter how much memory the prince had lost, he was the true master of the Yanling Army.
Even if she was the princess, it would be disrespectful to the prince if she mobilized the army without permission.
Qin Qingyao felt that she was really at a loss for words in the face of such a sincere Jin Feiang, but Jin Feiang was not wrong, and his ideas were not wrong either.
She didn't know how to explain to Jin Feiang, but she was really more afraid than anyone else that Dugu Yu would suddenly run to the Yanling Army to give some orders.
Since Lin Xiafeng is so capable of causing Dugu Yu to lose his memory, she might have a trick up her sleeve. She hasn't forgotten the mess caused by the Five Puppet Showers. If Dugu Yu is really manipulated by her, won't the entire Yanling Army be at her disposal?
By then, even if she lost the Cangshan Sect, it wouldn't matter. She would be invincible!
Qin Qingyao felt that as a woman, it would be inappropriate for her to explain it to Jin Feiang no matter what she said. If she had known earlier, she should have asked Zhao Jinghan to explain to Jin Feiang.
"The prince lost his memory because Lin Xiafeng poisoned him. I'm afraid he'll ask you to do something, and I'm also afraid he'll be manipulated by Lin Xiafeng. The people from the Cangshan Sect tried to assassinate me several times, all because of Lin Xiafeng's orders."
"I asked you to send troops to encircle and suppress the Cangshan Sect in order to eliminate her minions and prevent her from continuing to be so arrogant and harm others."
"I know I can't speak for the prince, especially now that he has completely forgotten me and doesn't even remember marrying me!"
"But Commander Jin, I hope that while you are sincere, you will also reflect on your own situation. After all, Military Advisor Murong said that the prince will regain his memory in eighteen months at the latest. Please at least hold on during this period and don't do anything that will make the prince regret it."
Jin Feiang didn't dare to make the decision for Dugu Yu, nor was he sure what he would regret after regaining his memory, but there was one thing he was very clear about, that was that the prince would definitely protect the princess.
If the Cangshan Sect dares to assassinate the princess, they must be prepared to be retaliated by the Yanling Army.
Therefore, he did not recall the troops sent to investigate the Cangshan Sect. Instead, after calming down, he decided to find time to sneak back to the palace to check on the prince and ask if he was okay. He was not curious about what the prince looked like after losing his memory...
After Qin Qingyao returned home, she habitually asked, "Where is the prince?"
The housekeeper said, "The prince went out before lunch and hasn't come back yet."
"Wangjiang Tower?"
The housekeeper said, "Commander Zhao followed."
These words were undoubtedly said to reassure Qin Qingyao, but now even the servants in the palace knew what she was worried about, which made Qin Qingyao feel that she was really a failure.
She could have seized the initiative, so why was she forced to this point by Lin Xiafeng? Even more tragically, she knew Dugu Yu would definitely meet Lin Xiafeng at Wangjiang Tower today, but she had no idea what they were talking about.
Qin Qingyao walked into the yard, but felt that it was a home without Dugu Yu, and it was so difficult for her to even walk inside.
Then she walked to the pavilion where she used to sit and wait for Dugu Yu every day and sat on the steps.
The housekeeper was very worried. "Princess, you have just recovered from a serious illness. You must not torture yourself like this again. It's so cold sitting in the wind. If you want to wait for the prince, you should go inside and wait."
"It's okay. Please ask Bai Zhi to bring me a thick cloak. I want to sit here for a while and get some fresh air."
Seeing that Qin Qingyao had made up her mind, the housekeeper could not persuade her any further. He could only respond with a distressed and helpless, "Yes."
Qin Qingyao sat alone in the pavilion, and the servants did not dare to disturb her. From the day she was tricked out by Murong Ce until now, this was the only time she could stay alone and quietly while she was sober.
So, she could finally calm down and think carefully about what had happened in the past few days and what she should do.
When Dugu Yu came back, it was almost dark. To be honest, this time was earlier than Qin Qingyao expected. After all, it gets dark early in winter, so it is not too late now.
"Husband, you're back!"
After Qin Qingyao thought it through, she decided not to blame anyone or anything, and she would not be angry with Dugu Yu because of her amnesia. This would only push him further away and let Lin Xiafeng feel proud behind her back!
She will never give up!
