After Yan Shaoqing sent Tang Chen and Lian Qiao back to the palace, he quickly returned to the plank road he had just come from. He picked out a person who was still breathing from the corpses on the ground and packed him up and took him away.
When he returned with his men, Tang Chen was already waiting for him at the door. Looking at the bloodied and unconscious man in black in Yan Shaoqing's hands, Tang Chen couldn't help but frown: "How on earth did these people get in?"
Yan Shaoqing shook his head slightly. If he hadn't just happened to see Tang Chen on the plank road from a distance, he would have been a little unbelievable. "These people must have their own ways. I've left one alive and will hand him over to Yan Zhou later. He can interrogate him himself."
Tang Chen sighed slightly: "Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise if something went wrong, it would really cause trouble for the people on the front line."
Yan Shaoqing continued, "That's exactly the point. Although Qingliang Valley is safe, it's also relative. From today on, even in the palace, we must be extremely careful."
...The first battle between Qingliang Valley and the South Vietnamese army came to a temporary end with Qingliang Valley winning the first battle with the advantage of time, place and people.
After waiting in the palace for a whole day, Tang Chen finally received the good news from outside the palace at sunset: "Princess, good news, good news, the first battle has been won!"
Upon hearing this, Lian Qiao hurriedly helped Tang Chen out of the yard. Tang Chen hugged the soldier who had brought the message and asked anxiously, "Where is the prince? Is he injured?"
The soldier who came to deliver the message replied: "The prince is well and will be back soon. Let us come and report that he is safe first!"
After hearing this, Tang Chen slowly let go of the heavy stone in his heart: "Great, Lianqiao, hurry up, boil some hot water and ask the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes."
"yes!"
Wang Yanzhou's first battle as a general had a perfect start, and he also gained a preliminary understanding of his own abilities as a general. After arranging for his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and handle the aftermath, Wang Yanzhou found a haystack and sat down, squinting his eyes and gazing at the sunset in a daze.
At this moment, a familiar voice said in his ear: "You should feel relieved now."
"I feel relieved for now, but I don't know how long this war will last. There will be a lot to worry about in the future." After saying that, Wang Yanzhou suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked to his side.
Yan Shaoqing was standing beside him, even in rags, his elegance was hard to conceal. In a sense, Yan Shaoqing was Wang Yanzhou's first friend.
I had received news earlier that he was still traveling in the Northern Desert. His appearance beside me was truly surprising. "Shao, Shao Qing! Why are you here?"
After Yan Shaoqing sat down beside Wang Yanzhou, he said with a smile: "When the country is in danger, it is natural for Yan to join the army."
Wang Yanzhou patted Yan Shaoqing on the shoulder and said, "It's good to be back. It's great to have more brave generals! I have saved a few jars of good wine. Let's have a drink when we have time."
Yan Shaoqing also said, "We definitely have to drink, but I'm not here to just reminisce about the past. I captured an important figure on the plank road to Qingliang Peak this afternoon. It's lunchtime now, so how about we go check it out?"
Wang Yanzhou was slightly stunned. It seemed that Yan Shaoqing's entry into the valley should have happened today. As for the plank road on Qingliang Peak, where Tang Chen had been before, could it be that something happened at noon?
By the time Li Xinzhai and Mo Yu received the news and rushed to the military camp, Wang Yanzhou and Yan Shaoqing had already finished the interrogation, and the man in black had fainted in the cell.
After Yan Shaoqing briefly recounted the whole story, Li Xinzhai suddenly became anxious and angry. He slammed the table and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. "What? You are targeting Ah Chen! Did you find out anything?"
Yan Shaoqing shook his head slightly and said, "He's still stubborn and I'm already giving him a lot of face by not giving him the chance to commit suicide."
Mo Yu, who was standing silently at the side, looked at Li Xinzhai like this, rolled his eyes, and said, "How about letting me try to torture the prisoners?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded and said, "Of course."
When Mo Yu turned to leave the tent, Li Xinzhai stopped him and warned him, "You damn crow, take it easy."
Mo Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and turned to look at Wang Yanzhou: "Prince, do you want him alive, or do you want clues?"
Wang Yanzhou said calmly: "As long as we can get useful clues, his life or death is up to you."
After Mo Yu got Wang Yanzhou's permission, he looked at Li Xinzhai with a smile and said, "Did you hear that, Master Li, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Li Xinzhai glared and puffed his beard, then replied, "...disappear immediately!"
...Tang Chen stood at the door like a husband waiting for his wife, waiting for the return of his wife after a long wait. Counting the number of people, there was one missing: "Didn't you say you would come back for dinner together? Why did you come back only now? Where's the eldest brother? Why is he nowhere to be found?"
Li Xinzhai replied, "He's busy and will be back soon. Let's eat first."
Tang Chen was used to the eldest brother's elusive appearances. Besides, they had just finished a battle today, so he probably had some unfinished business. "Alright. I prepared a lot of delicious dishes for you today, all of which you will like. Look at you all, you have been so busy lately that you have lost weight, especially Zhong Qin."
Wang Yanzhou, who had been looking at Tang Chen silently with gentle eyes, turned to look at Zhong Qin with a different look after hearing her words: "You have indeed lost a lot of weight. Eat more later."
"……yes."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Mo Yu still hadn't returned. They had to rush back to the barracks to discuss the next steps, so they couldn't wait any longer. Tang Chen simply asked Lian Qiao to go to the kitchen and get some food, put it in a large food box, and have them take it to Mo Yu.
While everyone was dealing with their own affairs, they were anxiously waiting for the result of Mo Yu's arrest. It was not until the dead of night that Mo Yu came out of the cell. As for the man in black, he had someone dispose of the body when he left.
When Mo Yu appeared before them in the middle of the night, covered in blood, he looked like a yaksha who had just returned from a life-threatening situation. Everyone instinctively tightened their grip on their swords, and except for Li Xinzhai, no one dared to approach him.
Li Xinzhai casually threw his handkerchief to Mo Yu and asked, "Are there any results?"
Mo Yu wiped the blood off his face and said, "Of course. This group of black-clad men who suddenly appeared in Qingliang Valley came from some Tianshu Tower."
