Chen Yin rose from a small soldier to a deputy general, so he has the ability to judge people's personalities.

So he quickly said, "Yes, Master Ah Man, I am very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and it is most appropriate for me to lead the way. But next time you come, it would be better to take the official road. The official road is flat and very safe, and it is not easy to encounter wild animals. Moreover, the journey is at least twice as fast as taking these small roads."

I looked at Gongsun Ning and asked unhappily, "You didn't even tell us there was an official road, leaving us wandering around in the dark woods for most of the day?"

Seeing that I looked like I wanted to hit him, Gongsun Wen quickly said to Chen Yin, "General Chen, please lead the way. I am cold and hungry and need to rest."

Chen Yin said with a stern look, "Yes, Lord Gongsun, please follow me."

After Chen Yin finished speaking, he jumped on his horse, and with a "go!", he ran ahead.

We walked along the ditch, but unexpectedly, it was even longer than I had imagined.

Seeing this deep ditch reminded me of what Chen Qingshan said: "It's okay if you want to practice with an axe in the future, but you can only use an ordinary axe, so that you won't destroy this place again."

It seems that the power of this axe is really extraordinary. I must never take it out to play with it casually in the future. If something is destroyed, it can be repaired, but if someone is accidentally injured, it will be very bad.

The deep ditch was about two or three kilometers long, and many trees had fallen. Fortunately, Chen Yin's team brought torches, otherwise it would have been difficult to walk on the road in the dark.

After leaving the deep ditch, we walked for a long time before we vaguely saw some fire.

Chen Yin pointed at the twinkling lights and said, "That's our ranch camp."

As we were almost there, we slowed down our horses and walked slowly so that the horses could rest.

I said to Chen Yin, "General Chen, your last name is Chen, and General Chen Qingshan's last name is also Chen. Are you a family?"

This is purely out of curiosity and has no purpose.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Yin heard this, he immediately said, "General Chen Qingshan is my cousin. May I ask how Master Aman knows my cousin?"

I never thought they were actually related!

I never thought that the Chen family actually produced two generals. They are truly a family of generals.

I smiled and said, "When I have nothing to do, I like to go to the riding field to practice riding, so naturally I recognize General Chen."

I said it naturally, but to Chen Yin it sounded like a huge wave!

How could such a stranger be able to enter and leave the royal horse training ground at will! Even though he had a cousin who was a general there, he was not allowed to enter at will!

Chen Yin became more and more curious about my identity.

Chen Yin then asked with a smile: "May I ask what position Master Aman holds in the capital? I am short-sighted and cannot recognize him."

I laughed and said, "General Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I am just an idle person and I don't hold any position. As for relationships, I am actually the nephew of Lord Gongsun. I rely on this relationship to enter and leave the palace easily."

Gongsun Wen's forehead twitched, but he did not take off his clothes and continued to remain silent.

Not only Chen Yin, but even Zhang San and Li Si were shocked. It has been rumored that Lord Gongsun was an orphan, but they didn't expect that he had a nephew. No wonder His Majesty loves him so much. Who wouldn't love this only nephew?

When Chen Yin heard this, he thought he had revealed the truth, and he quickly bowed to me and said, "So Master A'man is the nephew of Lord Gongsun. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

I tried my best to hold back my laughter and said, "Master Chen is too polite. Just call me Ah Man. Master Ah Man sounds weird."

Chen Yin quickly said, "Okay, then I won't be polite and will just call you Master A'man."

I nodded and said, "Yes, that sounds good. Oh, by the way, Master Chen, there are two more groups of people going to the Royal Ranch today. May I ask if they have arrived?"

Chen Yin glanced at Gongsun Wen, who had remained silent, then glanced at me and said, "There are two groups of people who have arrived at the ranch. May I ask why you are asking this, Ah Man?"

I quickly asked, "Are these two groups of people the two doctors sent by the Imperial Hospital?"

Chen Yin nodded and said, "Indeed."

I don’t know if Chen Yin knows that the two of them have been infected with smallpox. If he doesn’t know, it will be troublesome if he places those two doctors on the ranch.

I hurriedly asked, "Have these two doctors been properly arranged?"

Chen Yin didn't know whether he should speak or not, and couldn't help looking at Gongsun Wen. Gongsun Wen didn't even want to glance at Chen Yin, and said one word concisely: "Speak."

Chen Yin then said, "Yes, Lord Gongsun. Two groups of people came today. One group was two doctors sent from the palace, and the other group was said to be doctors from Jishengtang. There were three people in total. The two doctors from the palace stopped a few miles away from the ranch and brought a message saying that Doctor Sun said that they should be placed in a separate place and not be allowed to get close to the ranch. So I will place them in a grazing area in the valley. Although that place is remote, they have complete food and accommodation. As for the three doctors from the second group, I will temporarily place them in the ranch camp. They said they are waiting for a lord named Zhao."

When I heard this, my heart finally settled down. I had never expected that Doctor Sun was so thoughtful and would not allow them to go any further when they were just a few miles away.

I said, "General Chen, your arrangement is very good. When this matter is over, I will definitely speak highly of you in front of His Majesty and ask His Majesty to reward you generously."

Chen Yin was shocked again when he heard this. He looked at Gongsun Wen in disbelief, but Gongsun Wen seemed to have a stiff neck and didn't even look at him.

Chen Yin could only say with great fear and trepidation: "Thank you, A'man, Master A'man."

As we were talking, we had reached the entrance of the camp.

When the gatekeeper saw the general coming back, he quickly opened the door and welcomed us in.

It was pitch black and it was hard to tell how big the camp was. But judging from the lights coming from the houses, there were at least dozens of them, so it seemed that the camp was not small.

Chen Yin said to the men who came to lead the horses, "Hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare some food and bring it to my room. I want to entertain Lord Gongsun well.

The men immediately took the order and left.

Chen Yin welcomed the four of us into the house he lived in. His house was not very big, and the whole layout seemed to be a modern one-bedroom and one-living room. Moreover, the house was built of wood, and the thermal insulation effect was a bit poor, but there was a kang in the house, so Chen Yin welcomed us into the inner room and wanted us to sit on the kang and wait for the food to be delivered.

But Gongsun Wen was a germaphobe, so how could he be willing to fall for someone else's trick? And a stinky man's trick?

So Gongsun Wen resolutely refused to fall into Chen Yin's trap, and would rather sit on the bench outside than take a step into the inner room.

Gongsun Wen had many bad habits, which was known to all the ministers in the court and the country. Chen Yin wiped the table and stools for us again and again with some embarrassment, and then asked someone to bring in a charcoal stove, so that the room would not feel very cold.

Gongsun Wen sat down carelessly, while Zhang San and Li Si could only stand. After riding the horses for most of the day, they were not even brave enough to sit on a stool.
