Inside the flower hall, Yinxiang and Yin'er met their elder brothers and poured out all the sadness and worry they had endured along the way. Their phoenix eyes were red, and they looked at them with tears in their eyes.
"Alright, you two are both grown men, why are you still crying here?!" Yin laughed when he saw the two men's identities.
On the way, both Yinxiang and Yin were worried that they would not be able to see their elder brothers again. Yin could understand that they were still young and had not experienced much.
"Brother, we're scared. You don't understand. Those bandits are incredibly skilled in martial arts. Many of the Imperial Guards who came out with them have been killed!" Yin's voice rose a little. Yin glanced at Yin, and Fourteen immediately fell silent.
"You two really need to get some training!" Yin said helplessly.
Yin's face showed seriousness. Yin and Yin entrusted the task of persuading the Fourteenth Prince to Yin, as the two younger brothers were to be trained by Yin.
"Tenth Brother, you need to train your two younger brothers properly. They've even scared the bandits. They need to be trained!" Yin said directly.
Qingyan listened from the side and felt that they were making a mountain out of a molehill. The two of them were not old enough to actually be on duty. Now that Kangxi had given them an important task, it would be good enough if they could get through it safely.
"Master, don't be too hasty!" Seeing the two of them looking aggrieved, Madam Yin Genjue quickly advised.
"These two need to be trained. Father Emperor sent them here precisely for this purpose!" Yin directly rejected Yin Genjueluo Shi. "Besides, don't you two feel ashamed?"
Yinxiang and Yinreng exchanged a glance and both lowered their heads.
"Brother, we know, we will definitely train hard from now on!" Yinxiang quickly made a promise.
Yin quickly chimed in, "Brother, we'll listen to you from now on. Father Emperor even sent us a secret decree to dig out all the Mongol spies in the Guangdong and Guangxi naval ports. Recently, news came directly from Mongolia that many leaders are preparing to train a navy!"
As Yin was speaking, Yinxiang kept a watchful eye on the outside, making sure no one was eavesdropping.
The Tenth Prince's wife sat there awkwardly, feeling that she should have just said she wanted to rest. She was a noblewoman from Mongolia, and now they were going to discuss how to deal with the Mongolian princes in front of her.
"Princess Consort, don't worry. Your father-in-law didn't betray us with those people, so you don't need to fret!" Yin glanced at his wife. "Therefore, you don't need to concern yourself with these things!"
The Mongol wives would always find various excuses to have the Tenth Prince's wife deliver messages to the two concubines in the palace. The Tenth Prince's wife would always pretend to be stupid. After sending those people away, she would quarrel with Yin and let the news of the quarrel spread, so that the Mongol wives would not dare to come to the palace.
"Understood!" The Tenth Prince's wife dared not raise her head, fearing that Yin's gaze would be different.
"Tenth sister-in-law, don't be so nervous. Your father is still in Mongolia. The Emperor sent someone there, but he didn't order him to come to the capital for the Banjin Festival," Yin said directly.
"Thank you, elder brother!" The Tenth Prince's wife's complexion improved, and she quickly thanked Yin.
Qingyan held his teacup, listening to the group's discussion. Thirteen and Fourteen were also willing to take responsibility, hoping to act as bait to catch those people in one fell swoop.
"Fourth Brother, if you arrange too many guards in the open, it will arouse suspicion among those people." The sound also decided that they should not let Ya'ao arrange any more guards.
"Brother, what do you think?" Yin dared not make a decision on his own, because if something happened, it might be his two younger brothers who would get hurt.
Yin pondered. If Yinxiang and Yin himself were to show up, the spies would focus on them, making them more likely to be exposed.
"Let's do as Thirteen and Fourteen suggest. In secret, we must send more people." After much deliberation, Yin decided to let his two younger brothers take the lead.
Yinxiang and Yin's faces lit up with excited smiles; their older brothers had finally given them something to do!
"Big brother, we can definitely do it!" Yin quickly assured him.
"You've just arrived today, so get some rest first. We'll have a welcome-back feast tomorrow!" Yin instructed his two younger brothers.
"Yes!" The younger brothers all stood up and agreed.
After leaving the study, Yin and Qingyan went to the garden. Yin sat in the pavilion, looking at the calm pond where fish were swimming happily.
"Fourth Prince, Yinxiang and Yin are here, and you're not happy?" Qingyan found it very strange.
Yin smiled bitterly. His elder brother remained silent, leaving the decision entirely to them, which was to make them understand the cruelty of reality.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, little darling, but starting tomorrow, there will be a lot of trouble!" Yin pondered, the military port would begin its search and arrest operation tomorrow! "We need to keep the children under control and not let them run around everywhere!"
Yin worried that those who were provoked would use the child as a bargaining chip.
“We’ve already set up sentries all around our courtyard, isn’t that enough?” Yiken’e was never one to sit still. As he got older, his legs became incredibly fast, and before he knew it, he had run out of the courtyard.
Yin shook his head: "You should know the tempers of the two little ones. If Yiken'e could control them, Father Emperor wouldn't have sent the Dragon Guards over."
While in Yin's study, Yin sensed the presence of strangers in the courtyard. On his way to the garden, he happened to see a strange figure hidden in a tree.
"Fourth Prince, has Father Emperor sent more Dragon Guards to Yiken'e?" Qingyan glanced outside and asked Yin.
“Yes, I also saw an unfamiliar figure in the garden just now, so I’m sure Father Emperor sent someone here specifically for this matter. Yiken’e’s life is more important than mine!” Yin said, glancing at Qingyan.
Qingyan directly crushed the pastries in her hand into crumbs and fed them to the koi.
He hugged her tightly and patted her back to reassure her.
"Fourth, when will we be able to get rid of those Mongolians?" Qingyan asked.
"It should be possible to clean them up in half a month!" Yin also had a plan; these people had to be dug out.
Qingyan was relieved. He had managed to keep Yikene in the courtyard for half a month by exchanging toys for him.
"Fourth Prince, don't use children like this again." Qingyan felt some resistance towards Yinxiang and Yin'er's affairs. There were clearly other ways, but she still made her son take risks.
“Okay, I promise you!” Yin promised.
He couldn't be as heartless as Emperor Kangxi, so he would definitely protect the children.
