Boss Yang raised his head and smiled, then patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "That's easy, we are all family."
Chen Xin and Chen Xin smiled at each other. Since they said they were family, they asked a few more questions without hesitation: "By the way, Boss, aren't we here to help Qingliang Valley fulfill the alliance? Does that mean we will be joining forces with Qingliang Valley's army soon?"
The captain of the guards, who had drifted over to listen to their conversation at some point, frowned slightly upon hearing this and fixed his gaze on Boss Yang: "Boss, didn't you tell them?"
Boss Yang touched the stubble on his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "...I don't remember much, could it be that I forgot?"
Chen Xin and the other person performed with a confused look on their faces and said, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
The captain of the guards looked at Boss Yang with some helplessness and said, "Don't be nervous, you two. Actually, the situation is like this..."
It was unclear whether he had truly forgotten or was deliberately testing their loyalty, but the captain of the guard only told them the purpose of their trip and the twists and turns involved when they were almost at the battlefield. Although this was all information Shen Xin and the others had already known, there were still a few things that seemed a little different.
According to these two people, Hu Du told the people of Beimo that he broke the alliance with Liang State for several reasons: one was because of Shangguan Bing'er's old father Shangguan Quan's death, which was intentional by Liang State; secondly, Liang State not only treated their Beimo Princess's father so inhumanely, but also secretly planned to send troops north after using them, etc.
Chen Xin heard this, and although he was complaining in his heart, he couldn't help it. He was not himself now: "Wow, are the people in Qingliang Valley so excessive! I said, why did the Khan refuse to cooperate when he said so?!"
Wei Xian, despite his excitement, did not forget to ask, "Does this mean that we are now part of that Tianshu Tower together?"
The captain of the guard nodded and added, "You could say that, but the Khan is saying that for those of us with artillery, attacking Qingliang Valley isn't our primary goal; we should reap the benefits. You've all been carefully selected, the best men of the Northern Desert. The Khan said that this important matter must be entrusted to our own brothers before we can be assured."
The two couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Khan of the Northern Desert, he truly thinks ahead. We will definitely not let him down. But won't we be criticized for doing this?"
Boss Yang laughed nonchalantly and said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a few words of nonsense, and it won't kill anyone. After we, Beimo, annex Liang State, destroy Nanyue's great support in Liang State, we can turn around and attack Nanyue. Finally, we will become the master of this era!"
At this point, Chen Xin and Wei Xian couldn't help but sigh inwardly that their original choice of playing these two people was the right one. At least now they had gained their trust. Now was the time to show their loyalty and enthusiasm: "...Long live Beimo, long live the Khan!"
After the two of them started talking, the people of Beimo who were eating and talking just now stood up one after another, as if they wanted to use their full blood to convey the shouts of "Long live" back to their homeland.
After livening up the atmosphere, the captain of the guards became increasingly satisfied with the two newcomers. "I'll only tell you what you're going to do once, so please listen carefully."
Chen Xin and the other two straightened their postures in unison and said, "Yes!"
After the captain of the guard arranged the next new tasks for Chen Xin and the others, Boss Yang told the two of them about the new shift schedule. After he finished speaking, someone came to tell Boss Yang that Hudu Khan seemed to have something important to ask him, so he left in a hurry.
The two of them waited for a brief moment of solitude again. After learning about these previously unexpected tasks, Wei Xian suddenly felt a little dejected. "I didn't expect that after so much difficulty sneaking in, I couldn't find any opportunities to strike. Although that Boss Yang doesn't look like a martial arts master, the sharp insight beneath that rough exterior is truly astonishing."
Previously, they had only slightly moved the small parts on the artillery, but Boss Yang noticed something was wrong at a glance. After that, they did not dare to do anything more and could only put the matter of destroying the artillery on hold for the time being.
Not to mention Wei Xian, even Shen Xin felt a little heavy-hearted: "If we don't do something, all our hard work these days will be in vain."
Wei Xian sighed as he leaned towards Qingliang Valley, then analyzed, "It seems impossible to attack the ammunition. The two of us are responsible for the main body of the artillery, but you've tried before, and even the slightest change can be detected by that Boss Yang. Attacking directly is impossible."
Chen Xin also nodded and said, "Yes, if there is no opportunity, we can only create it."
Wei Xian gave a bitter smile. Lately, he had been wishing that doing things could be as easy as talking. "Alas, it seems this opportunity will only come before the war."
Chen Xin said that no matter when this opportunity came, they would be wise to prepare as much as possible now. They were the only two people in the team, so they had to be cautious. While the artillery was important, they couldn't let anyone discover their identities, which would not only cost them their lives but also leak military secrets. "Let's make every possible preparation. Even if we don't succeed, don't stress too much. We've already done everything we can."
Wei Xian raised his eyebrows and sneered, saying, "The Qilin Guard has never had a mission that they couldn't complete even at the cost of their lives."
Chen Xincai gently patted Wei Xian's left shoulder, and the man bared his teeth and shouted. He still talked about risking his life. With such a small body, he had only been moving artillery for a few days and it looked like this. It really didn't seem like the style of the Qilin Guard. "You should save your life. There will be many opportunities for you to risk your life."
Wei Xian said, "You've touched my sore spot, so I'm going to make you nervous too." "...We're almost at Qingliang Valley. Do you want to see your wife and children?"
Chen Xin's longing for Liang Shuyi grew stronger as he approached Qingliang Valley. He didn't know if Liang Shuyi could sense his longing, but he thought her feelings at the moment were probably similar to his: "I think about them, even in my dreams. I've already made up my mind. After I meet Yanzhou, I'll find a chance to go back and see them, even if it's just for a glimpse."
