Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

After Mu Lang returned, Chu Yuan continued to follow Linglan and watched her dismount in front of the camp in the north of the city. She said a few words to the soldier guarding the door, and then the soldier went in.

After a while, the soldier guarding the gate came out with a short, ordinary-looking man.

The two talked for a while, and the man took the basket from Lily of the Valley and went back.

Today was not a day off, so why did Linglan bring food to see her husband? And the day before, she went to a village 30 kilometers away, which happened to be near Wenxi Hall.

The unusualness revealed by these things made Chu Yuan feel vaguely uneasy.

She followed Linglan back to the city and wanted to discuss the matter with Mulang.

At this time, Mu Lang had been waiting for a long time. When he heard Chu Yuan's footsteps, he pushed open the door.

After much inquiries, Mu Lang learned that Linglan's husband was named Zhao Qiang. Although he was not good-looking, he was very skilled. He had been in the army for seven years and had been promoted to the position of a thousand-man captain.

Linglan married him three years ago, and after marriage she came to Qi County and opened a snack shop.

The two of them lived a relatively affluent life, but soldiers rarely had days off. They would see each other on the one day off each month when Linglan brought him clothes and food. He would only return to his home in Qi County during the holidays.

When she first came to Qi County, Linglan would hire a carriage to go to the northern camp every month. However, this was too expensive in the long run, so she bought a horse and learned to ride herself.

Zhao Qiang also taught his wife some martial arts because he was worried that it was unsafe for her to live alone.

These are the circumstances that we have found out. Everything seems normal, except that Linglan left the General's Mansion five years ago. How did she, a weak woman at that time, get to know Zhao Qiang who was far away in the northwest?

I heard from people nearby that Linglan goes to the north city camp every month on Zhao Qiang's day off. Why is this time different from the past?

Unless there is some reason to go.

Maybe he chose today specifically because he saw me in the shop yesterday, and I was traveling with Mu Lang.

Mu Lang was investigating the affairs of Vinci Hall, and Linglan happened to have been to the vicinity of Vinci Hall the day before. It was simply too much of a coincidence.

It seems that there must be a connection between Linglan and Vincitang. Maybe Linglan is the secret sentry planted by Vincitang in Qi County.

She went to the north camp to meet Zhao Qiang on purpose, as if she was delivering some message to him.

If Vincitang really has connections with the soldiers in the Northern Army, the situation will be very bad.

Chu Yuan originally wanted to stay out of the feud between Wenxitang and Tianjian Villa, but now that the matter was connected with the General's Mansion, she could no longer sit idly by.

Chu Yuan began to go out early and come back late every day with Mu Lang and his group to find out all the information related to Vinci Hall.

Chu Yuan suddenly felt fortunate that this place was all plain, so he could observe clearly everyone entering and leaving Vinci Hall.

On the third day of their surveillance, they saw several people in strange costumes coming from the west. They entered Vinci Hall and never came out.

Mu Lang recognized that the clothes they were wearing were Hu clothing, as he had come into contact with the Hu people on the northwest border.

Most of the Hu people used knives as weapons and were not good at using swords. Wen Xitang became famous for his knife skills. It seems that there was collusion between the two.

The Hu people are colluding with underworld gangs within the Shengding Kingdom. This matter could be a big or small matter, but this gang has just been suspected of having connections with the Northern Border Army, which is a very serious problem.

Chu Yuan originally held the view that matters of the martial world should be left to the martial world, but now that it involved the armies of two countries, she quickly sent a message to her father, asking him to send someone to investigate the matter.

Here, Mu Lang and others were also investigating the identities of the Hu people in Wenxi Hall. The people sent to the border rushed back to the city three days later and confirmed that one of the Hu people was the commander of the border garrison of Xizhen Kingdom.

Things were becoming increasingly out of control, but it would take at least half a month for Chu Ting's trusted men to reach the northwest.

Chu Yuan could only act separately from Mu Lang. Mu Lang led people to the border to investigate the relationship between the Xizhen Kingdom’s army and Wenxitang, while Chu Yuan went to the north camp of the city to investigate which generals in the army were involved.

The two agreed to return to Qi County to meet up in seven days no matter what the outcome. If they did not return, it would mean they were in danger.

Chu Yuan adjusted his facial features to make them tougher, changed into men's clothes, and came to the camp in the north of the city, claiming that he was the commander under General Chu and had important matters to discuss with the general.

With the token in his hand, Chu Yuan easily entered the military camp and met General Li Yong and several of his deputy generals.

Although the commander's rank was lower than that of the general, when they heard that she was from the capital, several people were very polite to her.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Yuan proposed to have a private discussion with the general and observed the changes in the expressions of several people.

General Li Yong looked a little anxious. There were less than 10,000 troops stationed in their camp in the north of the city. Generally, if a small group of enemies attacked, the garrison in the north could deal with it and they would not be needed at all.

But now that the general has sent a commander from the capital, I'm afraid there will be a large-scale operation.

The expressions of several deputy generals were also somewhat unnatural, and Chu Yuan felt that they were all very suspicious.

After several deputy generals left, Chu Yuan first asked some basic questions about the camp in the north of the city, leaving Li Yong confused.

Seeing that Chu Yuan was slow to get to the point, Li Yong said anxiously, "Commander Chi, if General Chu has any battle plans that require our cooperation, just tell us. It will only delay things if we go around in circles. If the army needs to make any moves, we will definitely cooperate with them."

Chu Yuan just told him not to worry, and mentioned Wenxitang again, saying that someone from Wenxitang appeared near the capital, and asked him if he had noticed anything.

Li Yong said that Wenxitang belonged to the underworld forces and they could not interfere with their movements. As long as they did not burn, kill, loot or do anything that harmed the common people within their jurisdiction, they would not care about anything else.

After testing Li Yong, Chu Yuan used the same rhetoric to talk to several deputy generals in the camp one by one.

She discovered that when she mentioned that there were people from Vinci Hall roaming around the capital, one person's reaction was one of shock, while another leaned forward slightly, looking a little nervous.

The remaining person did not react much and did not show any concern about the matter. Instead, he was anxious to ask about General Chu's orders.

After asking the questions, Chu Yuan suggested going to rest and asked them not to disturb him.

Li Yong and others had no choice but to arrange a military tent for her and left.

Chu Yuan's action today is to alert the enemy and scare the poisonous snakes hidden in the army to see if anyone will reveal their true colors.

Sure enough, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, there was movement in one of the military tents. It was the somewhat nervous deputy general who sneaked out of the camp.

After identifying the direction he was going, Chu Yuan returned to the tent.

There was no choice, she had to stay here and observe the movements of others, just in case there was more than one hidden snake.

But after waiting for a long time, no one took any action. It seems that some people are very patient.
