Ever since he agreed to teach Hong Cheng, Yun Ye has regretted it every moment.
Because after learning how to use the code book to write and decipher the Yin Fu Book, this guy shamelessly begged Yun Ye to teach him how to write a book.
He planned to write a book himself as a code book for the Hundred Riders.
But unfortunately, before the Li family became rich, he was just a stable boy beside the young master Li Er. Apart from his commendable loyalty and some courage, he was completely ignorant.
The difficulty of Yun Ye teaching him how to write a book is tantamount to guiding Xu Jingzong to become a humble gentleman.
But there was no way out. Haikou had already made the boast. No matter how much he regretted it, he had to bite the bullet and face the challenge.
However, Hong Cheng also knew that this matter was a bit difficult, so as compensation, he paid Yun Ye a tuition fee of 5,000 strings of cash. This calmed Yun Ye's temper and he was not as irritable as at the beginning.
Except for Hong Cheng, Yun Ye got along well with everyone else in the barracks.
He was a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, but he was a layman in military affairs.
Li Jing knew that his wisdom was not applicable on the battlefield, so he only kept him in the army as a medical officer, working with Sun Simiao to treat the wounded soldiers retreating from the front line, and did not send him to the battlefield.
However, Lin Zhongtian, who is also a disciple of a master, is different.
These days, Cheng Chumo would seek out Lin Zhongtian for a sparring match every few days. But within three rounds, he would be beaten to the ground and run to Sun Simiao for treatment with bruises all over his body.
But even so, Cheng Chumo did not change at all. Every time his injury healed, he would run over to get beaten.
This was repeated over and over again, and although the result remained the same, Cheng Chumo's martial arts skills were indeed improving visibly.
This matter was seen by everyone, including the supreme leader Li Jing.
Li Jing was very jealous of Lin Zhongtian's superb martial arts.
He had approached Yun Ye many times, trying to find him and ask him to borrow Lin Zhongtian for help.
Yun Ye finally found such a trustworthy partner, so how could he let go easily?
He righteously rejected Li Jing's request, saying that his senior brother had no intention of fighting on the battlefield, let alone fame.
Seeing Yun Ye was so determined, Li Jing had to give up this idea regretfully.
In fact, Lin Zhongtian was still somewhat interested in the battle to destroy DTZ.
However, even without him, the outcome of this battle would have been determined.
Instead of letting him deus ex machina to add icing on the cake, it is better to let the Tang Dynasty win a real victory.
Even though there will be more casualties, for the Tang Dynasty, no, the great Tang Dynasty, which will be the place where all nations will come to pay tribute in the future, this is an important step that must be experienced.
Tribulation is not only tribulation, but also a necessary factor in shaping one’s character and even the character of a country.
Blindly protecting and indulging will only exacerbate the situation and undermine the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Lin Zhongtian chose to stay with Yun Ye. In addition to communicating with Yun Ye and Sun Simiao every day, he also taught Ri Mu how to develop his spiritual talent.
The end result was that every few days, the sunset would inexplicably pick up some lambs and calves.
At first, the cooks in the army were eyeing the cattle and sheep that Rimu picked up covetously.
But later, they were attacked by the cattle and sheep commanded by the furious Na Rimu, and Yun Hou not only did not blame the Hu woman, but instead beat and scolded all of them.
From then on, they all understood that this Hu woman was under the protection of Yun Hou.
Not only were the cattle and sheep she found not allowed to be touched, they also had to be provided with good food and drink.
Of course, Yun Ye is a marquis, not a gangster. Even if it is freezing cold today, he would not use the military rations to feed the cattle and sheep.
Therefore, in order to protect Rimu, the thousands of camels he brought from Camel City naturally became the property of the army.
Looking at that sunset who was among the herd of cattle and sheep with a smile brighter than the sun, Yun Ye couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Brother Tian, are you sure this will allow Rimu to have the power to protect himself?"
"Of course." Lin Zhongtian said with a smile, "Have you heard of Druid? Rimu has this talent."
"Of course I have heard of it."
Yun Ye nodded, and then couldn't help laughing: "However, you and I, two people from the future, actually want to train a Hu girl into a witch. If this spreads to the future, people on the Internet will laugh to death..."
Lin Zhongtian laughed, then turned his head, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You don't have to do this. If you bring her back to Chang'an, you don't have to worry about protecting yourself."
Yun Ye's expression froze, and then he said with a wry smile: "Brother Tian, you know that after I return, I will officially marry your future sister-in-law."
"If I bring Higurashi back now, not to mention what my father-in-law will think, your sister-in-law alone will tear me to pieces!"
As he spoke, Yun Ye looked ahead at Na Rimu, who was smiling brightly, and said in a gloomy tone: "Besides, Na Rimu may not want to go to Chang'an. She is a girl from the grassland. If she leaves the grassland, she will die..."
Lin Zhongtian sighed and said, "You deal with your feelings yourself."
Yun Ye nodded, then thought for a moment and whispered, "Li Jing has already led his troops away. I believe that the final DTZ decisive battle will break out soon. When Li Jing returns victorious, Brother Tian, you can go back to Chang'an with the messenger first!" Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said, "What about you?"
Yun Ye said with a serious expression: "I am the Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty. I live off the blood of the people and enjoy the salary of the nobles. The battle of DTZ involves the fate of the Tang Dynasty. It is reasonable for me to stay here and wait for the final outcome."
"Besides, you and I both know that this battle is a great victory."
"How can I miss such a military achievement? I must get a piece of the cake!"
Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Then it's settled. When the army returns victorious, I will return to Chang'an first."
After getting Lin Zhongtian's answer, Yun Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Tian Xiangzi is dead now, his act of forging documents proves that he still has power in the court.
In this way, once the situation in Tuocheng is known to other people behind the scenes, Yun Ye’s family in Chang’an will be in danger.
Of course, with him staying at the front line, there is no need to worry about some obvious tricks. After all, Li Er is still a wise king, and it is impossible for him to do something that would chill the hearts of the soldiers on the front line at this time.
But if it is a shady trick done secretly, that’s another story.
Taking this into consideration, Yun Ye asked Lin Zhongtian to return to Chang'an first to take care of his family for him.
With Lin Zhongtian around, no matter what tricks they try, they will be crushed by Lin Zhongtian's absolute power.
"However, the matter of the messenger is of great importance, and it is unlikely that someone like me, who has no official position, will be allowed to travel with him."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Ye smiled and said, "When the messenger returns, Hong Cheng will lead a thousand elite cavalrymen from the Hundred Cavalry Division to guard him. I will find a way to ask Hong Cheng to let you go with the Hundred Cavalry Division..."
Of course, as long as Lin Zhongtian wanted, he could go back to Chang'an by himself at any time.
But in that case, the military camp would notice that there was one person missing from Yun Ye.
At such a critical moment, any extraordinary behavior may be suspected of leaking military secrets.
Therefore, for Yun Ye’s sake, if Lin Zhongtian wanted to return to Chang’an, he had to find a time to leave the military camp with a legitimate reason.
"That's fine."
Hearing Yun Ye's words, Lin Zhongtian nodded and said with a smile: "But don't think about this method, I have an idea."
Yun Ye asked curiously: "What's the idea?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, flipped his right hand, and took out a wooden box.
Yun Ye looked at the wooden box in surprise, subconsciously raised his hand to take it, and opened the lid.
"scare--"
When Yun Ye saw what was in the box, his hands trembled and he was so scared that he dropped the box.
Fortunately, Lin Zhongtian was right next to them. He stretched out his right hand and caught the box steadily.
"Hold it steady!" Lin Zhongtian said unhappily, "This thing is a national treasure that can be punishable by death in the future. What if it breaks?"
Yun Ye's eyes widened as he stared at the jade seal with a golden corner in the box. His lips trembled as he said, "The... the imperial seal?!"
Lin Zhongtian nodded as a matter of course: "Yes!"
Yun Ye glared at him and said, "Wait, let me take it slow... Why is this thing in your hand?!"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Don't you know?"
Yun Ye asked blankly, "I don't know what?"
Lin Zhongtian said leisurely, "Kang Sumi, the general most trusted by Jie Li Khan, came to the Tang army camp with Empress Xiao and Prince Yuande, and has been our neighbor for more than half a month!"
"Of course I know that!"
Yun Ye replied unhappily, then suddenly realized what was happening and said in disbelief: "Could it be that..."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is rumored that during this period, the imperial seal of 'Mandate by Heaven, Long Live and Prosper' was in the hands of Empress Xiao and Prince Yuande."
"It just so happened that they were our neighbors in the camp. I was curious for a moment, so I sneaked into the tent and found this jade seal!"
Yun Ye swallowed his saliva and finally recovered from the shock. He rubbed his temple and said, "No wonder... Kang Sumi said a few days ago that he would choose a day to visit me, but there has been no movement until now."
"I originally thought he had changed his mind, but now it seems that he couldn't find the imperial seal and lost the negotiating evidence. He must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot now!"
At this point, Yun Ye sighed and said with a headache: "But Brother Tian, you are too reckless. This imperial seal is no different from other ones. If you rashly take it in your hands, you may end up with nothing..."
"How about this, you give me the jade seal, and I'll call Hong Cheng over right now and explain everything to him!"
