Chapter 449 Return to the Border
Ling Yunxiao had been waiting for a letter from His Majesty, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yue would arrive first.
He stood up and went out, but Xia Yuanchen had already rushed out of the tent impatiently.
To him, Jiang Yue is not only a comrade-in-arms, but also a long-lost friend.
Zhang Yan followed Ling Yunxiao and left the tent.
Behind him, Yun Yi and some other generals also followed out curiously.
The fifth prince Zhao Chongxu did not expect that Jiang Yue could be personally welcomed by the general.
He walked side by side with Ling Yunxiao, wanting to know what Jiang Yue brought with her this time.
Jiang Yue and other Xuanwu soldiers returned to the border. Familiar terrain, familiar scenes, everything was so familiar.
The difference is that after Xuanwu Army and others went to the imperial city, their status increased greatly.
Walking further forward and looking at the rows of military tents in front of me, that familiar feeling from the army came back to me.
Similarly, it is a different state of mind.
Jiang Yue led the generals into the camp and dismounted at the same time.
Since they had just returned, all the soldiers in the camp had their eyes on them.
As soon as he arrived at the parade ground, he was greeted personally by General Ling Yunxiao, as well as soldiers including Xia Yuanchen and Zhang Yan.
"Your Highness the Prince of Jin, the General, the Major General, and General Zhang!" Jiang Yue and the Xuanwu Army bowed and clasped their hands.
"No need to be so polite." Zhao Chongxu's eyes fell on Jiang Yue. After so long, he had almost forgotten what Jiang Yue looked like. He didn't expect that she could still call out his title.
"You're coming sooner than we thought."
Jiang Yue clasped his fists again and said, "Your Majesty has appointed me to do this without stopping."
Goodbye, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. We met once last time, so we can be considered acquaintances.
"You came just in time." After saying that, Zhao Chongxu glanced at the spear in Jiang Yue's hand.
"My brother treats you so well."
The Cloud-Breaking Spear was the most valuable item in the royal armory and was priceless.
He had asked his brother for it many times, but was rejected every time. Now he saw his brother giving the spear to Jiang Yue, he was envious and jealous.
The others also looked at his spear. Anyone who knew about weapons knew that it was a good thing.
When Ling Yunxiao saw Jiang Yue, his usually tough face softened.
To deal with Beiyan, he can go to war at any time. What he needs most now is a strong general like Jiang Yue.
"Yes, it's just in time."
Because the gunpowder sent by His Majesty has arrived, they have assembled it today and were originally planning to send out the troops tomorrow.
Jiang Yue secretly thanked her luck that she did not make any delays on her journey.
Otherwise, something is really wrong.
Zhang Yan's expression also became more gentle.
"Jiang Yue, why does it take so long to go to the capital?" Xia Yuanchen's clear voice sounded in his ears.
As soon as he saw Jiang Yue, he thought of his own narrow escape from death.
Furthermore, for Jiang Yue, it was more like seeing a long-lost relative.
When Jiang Yue saw the generals at the border, she felt very friendly towards them all.
"I dealt with some things in the capital." She spoke simply, but behind her, the Xuanwu soldiers felt a sense of crisis.
Although Wu Fei, Xue Wen and other Xuanwu soldiers just stood upright behind Jiang Yue, they also felt a sense of joy at the long-awaited reunion.
Although the border has many painful memories for them, they came here to rescue Princess Xining and to avenge the soldiers who had died.
Zhao Chongxu listened to Jiang Yue and the other generals talking to each other and reminded them:
"Young General, you have returned today as you wished. You need to rest well now. We will hold a banquet tonight, firstly to welcome General Jiang, and secondly to boost morale for tomorrow's battle!"
Ling Yunxiao and the other generals thought so too.
Xia Yuanchen said, "Jiang Yue, we were just discussing how to use fuel to defeat the enemy. I heard that you came up with this idea. Tomorrow, we will fight side by side again."
He had been waiting for such a day.
As for Northern Yan, he wished he could raze it to the ground right away.
Tomorrow? Jiang Yue also thought, the sooner the better.
"Major General, generals, Your Highness the Prince of Jin, His Majesty has ordered me to rescue Princess Xining."
She briefly told Ling Yunxiao about his majesty's appointment, and only then did Ling Yunxiao know that Princess Xining's marriage was not successful and she was kidnapped by Beiyan instead.
Compared to before, things have completely changed.
Ling Yunxiao learned from Jiang Yue's words that their Majesty was interested in Xining's supplies.
In fact, Xining has other rich resources besides saltpeter mines.
Because of Jiang Yue's words, everyone fell into a brief contemplation.
After hearing this, Ling Yunxiao said:
"All the generals are exhausted, so you should go to the tent and rest first."
After hearing this, the tired Xuanwu soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After working day and night, they needed to rest.
Everything could be discussed later. Before resting, Jiang Yue went to find Master Shen Qing first.
There has been no fighting in recent months, and Shen Qing and Yang Ziqian are sitting opposite each other in the military tent drinking tea.
Hearing the commotion outside the tent, Shen Qing realized that the Xuanwu Army was returning and ran out of the tent immediately.
Behind him, Yang Ziqian was really envious of having such a good disciple.
From a distance, Jiang Yue saw his master come out of the military tent and trot towards him.
"Master, can you please come in?"
"Okay, everything is fine." There was no war, and he went home twice to visit his son who was busy with his business.
Shen Qing never expected that Jiang Yue would come back at this time. After all, the army was rumored to be in turmoil in the capital, and the young general was stuck. He had been assisting His Majesty in handling military affairs these days.
"After the New Year, you have grown taller again."
Compared with other men in the army, Jiang Yue's height is considered average.
The last time Shen Qing came, Xiao Liu left not long after. As soon as he arrived, he started treating the wounded and was too busy to talk to Xiao Liu much.
Now that we meet, I have even more questions to ask.
"Master is becoming more energetic." Jiang Yue said at the right time.
After a gentle moment of meeting, Shen Qing had a smile on his face the whole time. He wanted to say that he became more energetic after meeting Jiang Yue.
"Don't just stand here and talk, let's go to your tent." Shen Qing followed Jiang Yue all the way to the tent.
In the tent, Shen Qing made the bed for Jiang Yue like an old father.
"Xiao Liu, tell Master what happened when you went to the capital. I heard that His Majesty chose you to guard the city, so why are you in the military camp now?"
Jiang Yue wanted to say too much, and couldn't finish it in one sentence.
"It was appointed by His Majesty, and it is hard to explain in one word."
Just after I replied, I heard Shen Qing say, "Rest first."
He patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder.
"Master, let me ask you one more question. Where is Xiaowu? Hasn't he always been following you?"
"The fifth sister stayed in the capital to do business."
"Doing business?" Shen Qing thought to himself. Jiang Wuni is introverted and usually keeps quiet, but the key is that she can actually do business.
"Well, both of you siblings have great potential."
Shen Qing had just left and Jiang Yue had just laid down when Xia Yuanchen came again.
