One touch and one silence

"What the princess said is true. Since you came back from the temporary palace, you haven't held a banquet to play with those young ladies from noble families for a long time. It just so happens that you now have this set of red plum jewelry given to you by His Highness the Seventh Prince. When the princess wears it at the flower viewing banquet, she will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the entire Daling Dynasty."

Jiuer flattered Nan Shu sincerely, but felt a little embarrassed by his praise.

"He's not here, so what's the point of being good-looking! Jiuer, why do you think he's so desperate that he has to go and earn military merits?"

Wouldn't it be nice to marry her as your consort?

What would he want that he couldn't get by then?

Nan Shu felt a little discouraged and lost interest in the red plum hair crown in his hand.

"Jiu'er, do you think we can sneak out and take a look at him secretly?"

Jiuer was frightened when Nan Shu said this.

"No! No, Princess! It's too dangerous outside. If the Queen knew, she would chop me to death."

Jiuer was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly, looking terrified, and was almost frightened silly by the girl.

Nan Shu was deflated, pouting and mumbling, "It's boring."

Thousands of miles away, Shi Yu, the son of Yongcheng Marquis, felt the strange atmosphere in the military camp.

He couldn't tell what was strange about it.

Why did Prince Yulin come to the border after Prince Zhennan returned to Beijing? Based on his observations over the past two days, General Lin and Prince Yulin did not get along as soon as they met.

A general dared to put a prince under house arrest? What does this mean?

Moreover, it was somewhat strange that General Lin actually dared to control King Yulin directly in the general's mansion, not even in the barracks.

He really admired it.

He knew a little about Prince Yulin. He was the only brother that the late emperor treated sincerely and almost raised him. Later, in order to help the late emperor stabilize the political situation, he even stayed in the military camp for many years.

He did not hand over his military power until the current emperor ascended the throne. At that time, he and General Yu were considered the two pillars of the Da Ling Dynasty.

Other neighboring countries do not dare to cause trouble in our Daling Kingdom, which is why the border has been stable over the years.

The purpose of his coming here was to see if he could find an opportunity.

But now he regretted that coming here was a wrong decision. He felt that he might disappoint his master.

The border is now stable and there is no war. According to his observations during this period, the people here are training more actively.

This shows what?

When he came, he deliberately adorned his face, so no one knows his identity at present. Others just think he is a child from an ordinary family.

In addition, he has been exposed to the sun all day long these days, and his face has become much darker. Now he no longer needs to make his face darker.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of the princess.

"Shi Yu, General Lin is calling you!"

Just then, a soldier entered the tent and shouted at him.

"coming!"

Shi Yu gave the visitor a naive smile and walked out of the tent. Along the way, he was thinking in his heart, what did the general want him to do?

He had no contact with the general. He had only seen him once from a distance.

Along the way, he really couldn't understand why the general would look for him.

When he arrived outside the general's tent, he saw two people guarding the door. They looked at him expressionlessly and reached out to draw aside the curtain of the tent.

"Shi Yu meets the general!"

Shi Yu lowered his head and knelt on one knee in front of General Lin with a respectful attitude.

"Are you Shi Yu, the one that Deputy General Dai praises all day long?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Shi Yu lowered his head and knelt on the ground. There was a pair of black boots in front of him.

He felt the general's gaze on him and felt a chill on his back.

I don’t know how much time passed before I heard the person in front of him asking him to get up.

"Get up!"

Shi Yu then stood up, and when he looked up he met General Lin's sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything.

He had seen this general from a distance before. He looked strong and sturdy, and gave people the impression that he only had brute force. Now, seeing him up close, he did not seem to be a simple-minded person as the rumors said.

Shi Yu knew at this moment that this was definitely not a look that a simple-minded person could have. It was probably meant to confuse others, but he didn't know who it was meant to confuse.

Moreover, this man was actually taller than him. His height gave him an inexplicable pressure. The aura of a superior and the decisiveness of killing mixed together made him a little confused, and even more afraid that his identity would be discovered in the next second.

If he hadn't seen a lot in Kyoto, he would probably be intimidated by this person.

"I wonder what instructions the general has for me?"

Shi Yu asked respectfully.

"I heard that you performed well among the newcomers and were very thoughtful. The people here are just rough and unsophisticated. It just so happened that you helped me take care of the nobles from the capital recently."

"Are you willing?"

General Lin's voice, to Shi Yu's ears, although it was a question, had an aura that could not be refused.

Shi Yu's heart was beating fast at this time. Noble? Is it the King of Yulin?

"Subordinates take orders!"

Shi Yu's respectful attitude made General Lin very satisfied.

"In that case, you should go now, and remember to stay with me all the time! If anything happens, report to me immediately!"

Only then did Shi Yu understand what the general asked him to do.

"Don't worry, General. I understand!"

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he left General Lin's tent. As soon as he walked outside, he ran into the Deputy General Dai that General Lin mentioned.

"Meet General Dai!"

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Shi Yu was stunned, and then he understood.

I guess this matter was told by Deputy General Dai. The general met him probably because he wanted to see what kind of person he was.

He knew that this person was General Lin's confidant, and here, he only listened to General Lin.

He was just a small soldier and was already very low-key. In just a few months, he was still noticed by his superiors. This only proved one thing: everyone in the entire border military camp was probably under the surveillance and control of these two people.

This courage and ability are really scary!

It seems that he underestimated these people. Now he is worried about one thing: does this person know his identity?

Shi Yu glanced back at the general's tent vaguely and left.

When he was taken to the general's mansion by General Lin's men, he arrived at a quiet courtyard and met the King of Yulin.

What he didn't expect was that even though this person was trapped here, he still had a smile on his face and looked exceptionally relaxed.

Could it be that he was really just sent by His Majesty to comfort the soldiers in the army? He was just wondering when he heard Prince Yulin's question.

"Are you the person General Lin sent to take care of this king?"

"I am Shi Yu, your Highness!"

King Yulin was stunned, "Shi Yu?"

Prince Yulin looked at the young man in front of him and could not see how this man was similar to the handsome young man in the capital.

"Haha! You..."

Prince Yulin stopped talking and didn't say anything to Shi Yu. He just kept drinking as if he didn't know this person.

Shi Yu could only stand aside stupidly with his bag on his back.

"Okay, just find an empty room in this yard and live there!"

After Prince Yulin had finished speaking, he drank his wine and ate his snacks. He looked particularly relaxed and at ease.

Shi Yu admired the prince's perseverance.

It seems that going to the border is not without benefits. At least it broadens your horizons a lot.

In fact, King Yulin was not as calm as he looked. He was also anxious at this moment, but he could not show it at all.

otherwise……

He came out under the pretext of visiting and comforting the soldiers at the border. As for the food, he had ordered a batch of grain half a month ago, and the date was almost here.
