AWB Chapter 365 Departure
Chapter 365 Departure
Ye Lin looked anxious. He walked quickly to General Ye and said with a fist: "Father, Lord Fan has found evidence of Cui Liren's human trafficking. The evidence is detailed and accurate. Now the time is right. Should we set off? I really don't want to wait any longer, for fear of missing the opportunity."
"No hurry, wait a little longer." Ye Zhen said, looking far away in the direction of Tingzhou, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Ye Lin was young after all, and he couldn't hold his temper. He immediately said, "I think if I don't take action now, Cui Liren will notice it. Once he is on guard, it will be very difficult to take him down in one fell swoop. Father, don't hesitate any longer!"
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Lin with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Don't worry, my son. Your father has his own considerations. Don't rush into anything. If you act rashly, something unexpected may happen."
Ye Lin said anxiously: "Father, if we delay any longer, what if the news leaks out and Cui Liren is prepared? Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted? It will be even more difficult to bring him down then!"
Ye Zhen sighed when he heard this and was about to explain the interests involved to Ye Lin again.
At this moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly interrupted him.
He frowned slightly and said to the person outside: "Come in——"
As General Ye finished his words, the heavy door of the study was slowly pushed open with a creak.
Deputy General Luo walked in hurriedly, bowed and saluted, then said in an urgent tone: "After nightfall, our spies in Tingzhou saw the princess coming to us alone. The princess was in a hurry, it seems that she has something important to do."
Hearing this, General Ye's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly glanced at Ye Lin and said, "Lin'er, you and Deputy General Luo should go and count the men. Move quickly and don't delay. This matter is of great importance, so you must act with caution."
Ye Lin looked up at his father who was sitting in the upper seat.
Given how well he knew his father, it was impossible for his father to come up with such a sophisticated and comprehensive method.
A military advisor? But my father didn't trust him enough to let him participate in such a confidential matter.
So who is the person behind this plot?
So he asked hesitantly, "Father, who came up with this idea for you?"
When Ye Zhen was asked this by his son, the deep and cold aura on his body instantly disappeared without a trace, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He said helplessly: "Did you figure it out?"
"I have no choice." Ye Zhen said, and stood up and walked to the table. He took out a booklet from the drawer of the table and handed it to Ye Lin, "Take a look at it too."
Ye Lin took the booklet and quickly flipped through a few pages. His expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "This... they were the ones who tipped off the Tatars? Father, this is really unbelievable!"
Ye Zhen's face was gloomy. "So, I can only wait. Fortunately, Master Fan is a decisive person. Otherwise..."
Otherwise, Ye Zhen didn’t say anything else.
But both Ye Lin and Lieutenant General Luo understood the unfinished meaning in Ye Zhen's words.
The two men looked at each other, and Lieutenant General Luo spoke first: "General, let's call our best brothers here immediately to prepare for any emergency. I will do my best to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Ye Lin immediately echoed, "Father, what Vice General Luo said is very true. More manpower will always provide more protection. I hope father will agree."
General Ye nodded slightly and said seriously, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Be sure to select loyal, reliable, and highly skilled people. Don't be negligent in the slightest."
So, when Chu Ci arrived at the General Zhenbei's Mansion, he saw that the courtyard inside the mansion was densely packed with people.
Chu Ci couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Is it a bad time for me to come? What kind of military and national affairs are they discussing? Why is there such a big scene?"
Chu Ci was just making a casual joke.
Unexpectedly, Deputy General Luo suddenly rushed in front of Chu Ci, with an anxious look on his face, and even beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "Princess Yi Xin, what do you think of these brothers?"
"Each of them has been carefully selected, and they are extraordinary! Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but they are also loyal!"
"Are you here to see the general for help?" Deputy General Luo asked immediately, his face full of earnestness, his eyes fixed on Chu Ci, "We brothers are all very brave and strong, if you need us, just let me know!"
"Whether we have to climb mountains of swords or descend into seas of fire, brothers, we will not say no!" Deputy General Luo said as he winked at Ye Lin, his eyes full of anticipation mixed with a bit of eagerness and nervousness.
Ye Lin also nodded quickly and agreed: "Can you tell me what it is?" His eyes were full of sincerity and curiosity.
"If it's just a small matter like borrowing someone, Lieutenant General Luo and I can make the decision. Princess, please feel free to tell us. As long as we can help, we will not refuse." Ye Lin looked sincere and looked at Chu Ci firmly, as if to show her his determination.
The two's behavior was too abnormal. Chu Ci couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Lin, with doubt and inquiry in his eyes, and his eyebrows slightly frowned, "Do you know why I came here today?"
"Uh..." Ye Lin and Deputy General Luo looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed. Ye Lin hesitated and said, "If I tell her I know, will the princess think that we are trying to spy on her, or will she suspect that we have ulterior motives?"
Chu Ci shook his head slightly, his expression calm and determined, "No, after all, if they had malicious intentions, they would definitely try every possible means to cover it up, and would not be so blatant. You guys..."
Chu Ci didn't finish his words, but gave a look that seemed to say, "You are so anxious, you must be hiding something from me."
Ye Lin hesitated for a long time, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, and slowly said: "Princess, these people are prepared for you, I wonder if they are enough? If not, I will find a way to mobilize more people."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci immediately gave Ye Lin a thumbs up, his face full of appreciation, "Young General, you are so open-minded!"
Then she didn't hesitate to tell him her purpose, and said with a serious expression and firm tone: "General, I don't care what your purpose is. My purpose is to make sure that after tomorrow, there will be no Cui family in Tingzhou to bully others."
Is Chu Ci creating an opportunity for himself to collect evidence?
Ye Lin didn't even think about it. A hint of determination flashed across his eyes, and he said, "Deal!"
Chu Ci's expression lit up with joy, and he said impatiently, "Okay, let's set off right away. Time is running out, and things could get out of hand if we delay."
Ye Lin nodded solemnly, and immediately ordered the people behind him with a serious expression: "Everyone, bind the horses' hooves and the people's feet. Move quickly and make no mistakes! Let's go——"
