Lieutenant Wei looked stunned.
Only when Song Wangyue nodded slightly towards him did Lieutenant Wei return to his senses.
He turned his back to Song Wan Yue and gave a thumbs up to Song Yin!
The corners of Song Yin’s mouth rose invisibly, letting go of him, turning around and walking back to Song Wan Yue’s side, taking her hand.
Captain Wei hurriedly turned around, his face flushed red, and said as he walked out, “I’ll go first, you guys, don’t worry.”
As the words left his mouth, he had already gone far away.
The corners of Song Wan Yue’s mouth were slightly hooked as she smiled, “An interesting person.”
Song Yin agreed, “You don’t know, when I first arrived he ……”
Lieutenant Wei’s old face was still red when he returned to the general’s residence, picking up the already cold tea and drinking it dry in one gulp.
Several other people saw him in this state and wondered, “What happened?”
Captain Wei was too embarrassed to say anything and waved his hand to cover it up, “Nothing, I ran too fast on the road.”
A few people didn’t believe him and were about to ask more questions when Song Yin walked in, his body full of springiness, a few people were about to tease him when Shen Yan coughed lightly, a few people immediately silenced.
Shen Yan looked at Song Yin, his face serious, “Did you ride with Miss Song today?”
“Yes.”
“I am sending you to protect Miss Song, not to heart her, from tomorrow onwards, you do not need to escort.”
“General ……”
“This is a military order!”
“General ……”
Song Yin’s eyes were red, “Why?”
“Who is Miss Song? I don’t need to tell you to know. You are not suitable for each other! Moreover, she won’t be staying at the border for a few more days, she will leave when the pills are done, and you won’t have the chance to meet again from now on, Song Yin, you’d better collect your thoughts.”
“If the General doesn’t agree, I’ll quit the army!”
“How dare you!”
Shen Yan was furious, “Is the barracks owned by your family? You can come in if you want and quit if you want!”
Lieutenant Wei had never seen Shen Yan get so angry before, so he quickly and carefully intervened, “General, Song Yin is still young, you should not behave in a normal manner with him.”
“Yes, General, he is in the heat of the moment, he can’t listen to you, don’t be angry, let’s slowly persuade him.”
Vice General Liu even kept giving Song Yin a wink, “Why don’t you apologise to the General?”
Song Yin strained his neck and pursed his lips, not saying a word.
Shen Yan became even more furious, “You guys, take him back to the barracks and don’t let him out without my order!”
……
Inside the inn.
Ten of the Third Prince’s men sat scattered in different places in the inn lobby, inquiring about the Third Prince’s affairs without a trace, and soon got up and went back to their rooms to confer.
“I think we should go straight to General Shen and see our master first.”
One of them said, and a few others nodded, pushing out two people to go to the general’s residence.
When they arrived, Song Yin was being led out by a few of Lieutenant Wei’s men. Song Yin was the youngest and the most conspicuous of all the men in the group. The two of them could not help but look at him a few more times.
Only after the men had left did they explain their purpose to the gatekeeper, who told them to wait and ran in to report, but came back out quickly to lead them in.
When they saw Shen Yan, the two bowed in a regular manner, “General Shen.”
Shen Yan said directly, “The Third Prince is only in my custody for the time being, I have already reported to the Emperor in the form of a folding report and will wait for the Emperor’s decree to arrive.”
Hearing that he had sent a fold to the Emperor, the two men breathed a sigh of relief; the Emperor would naturally find a reason for Shen Yan to release his master.
“Everything is at General Shen’s disposal, there are just some matters for our master to handle personally, can General Shen let us see
my master for a moment to report these matters.”
Shen Yan pondered slightly and agreed, allowing his attendant to take them there.
The Third Prince had been imprisoned for several days, unable to hear any news from outside, and was in a state of anxiety when he suddenly saw his people and almost lost his temper with surprise.
One of them took out a silver ticket and shoved it into the hand of the attendant who brought them over, “Please also wait outside for a while, we will leave immediately after we have asked our master.”
The attendant glanced at the silver ticket without a trace, fifty taels, and immediately nodded, “Hurry up, don’t delay too long.”
After saying that, he retreated.
One of them guarded to the door, and one went forward, and before he could speak, he heard the Third Prince ask impatiently, “Is Song Wangyue still here?”
“Yes.”
“Where is Song Yin?”
The handlers froze, not knowing who Song Yin was, “My lord is asking about ……?”
“It’s the person who protects Song Wan Yue’s side.”
“We were in a hurry to inquire about our master’s whereabouts when we arrived, and we haven’t had time to inquire about anything else.”
“Song Yin is the ……”
The third prince can stop his mouth in the middle of speaking, this matter is important, must get conclusive before saying.
“That Song Yin is disguised, you must see his true face no matter what method you use.”
……
The following morning, Song Yin did not come to pick up Song Wan Yue from the general’s residence as usual, but Vice-General Liu. He was in his thirties, stout, with a large waist and a strong armor, his aura was overwhelming, the moment he saw Song Wan Yue, his eyes flashed with amazement, then he arched his hand, “Miss Song, Captain Song has gone to practice, I will escort you for the next few days.”
Song Wan Yue’s pretty brows knitted up, “Why has he suddenly gone to practice?”
Lieutenant Liu knew why Song Yin had fallen in love with Song Wan Yue at first sight, such a pretty little girl even frowned so nicely.
“Lieutenant Song is very good at arranging troops, he has always been the one to practice, a few days ago it was because we happened to be resting after a recent battle.”
Song Wan Yue nodded and gestured for Song Yi to lead the horse over, she rolled onto it and walked towards the medicine house.
Vice General Liu followed behind with his men.
When they had gone, one of the men hiding in the distance turned and hurried back to the inn to tell a few others what he had just heard.
Several people were at a loss, they couldn’t get into the military camp, they couldn’t reach Song Yin, how could they do it?
One of them suddenly had a flash of insight, “Didn’t you say that Song Yin had a crush on Song Wan Yue? We can use her to lure him out.”
For several days in a row, it was Vice-Admiral Liu who escorted Song Wan Yue, coming over every morning and returning when it was dark. It looked like in a few more days, the prepared herbs would be done.
Song Wan Yue had not asked Song Yin since that day. But every morning when she came out of the general’s residence, she saw that it was still Vice General Liu, and her eyes were full of loss; the same was true when she came out of the medicine house at night.
He thought that he should go to the general and ask for a favour and let Song Yin come over.
This day, while walking back, he did not feel anyone approaching, and by the time he noticed it, a sharp sword with a cold light had already stabbed Song Wangyue in the face.
