The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

"Your Highness, regarding the selection of candidates, I think that in addition to the abilities that Captain Su mentioned, it would be best to select some new faces, so as to avoid arousing suspicion from others." Master Chen Xuan said calmly. Xie Tianlin nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "But in this way, the number of people we can use will become even scarcer."

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Su Lun suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and asked, "I am incompetent, but I am willing to share your worries." His voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were firm.

Xie Tianlin looked at Su Lun with surprise and asked, "Captain Su, this matter is very serious. Have you thought it through?"

Su Lun nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes. When I was young, I learned some foreign languages ​​from a merchant from Chu State, so I have a basic understanding of them. Although I haven't used them for a long time, if someone can give me some pointers, I think it won't be difficult to learn. Besides, we can communicate in the same language, which will be of great benefit to the hidden affairs."

What Su Lun said was true. Both of them had followed the merchant from Chu and learned the Chu language. What was even more coincidental was that the Chu language was very similar to the dialect of Su Lun's hometown in his previous life. As for the writing, there was no difference between the three countries, so there was no need to worry.

Hearing this, several people present couldn't help but show surprise. "In this case, Captain Su is indeed the most suitable candidate!" Xie Tianlin said.

At this time, Master Chen Xuan suddenly volunteered: "Your Highness, in this case, why not let me go to Chu in person. I have been to Chu before when I was traveling abroad, and I have some friendship with the Second Prince of Chu. The Second Prince is honest and kind by nature, and has a good reputation among the people. If we can get his support, the chances of success may be greatly increased."

After Xie Tianlin heard this, a big stone in his heart finally fell down, and he said with a sense of relief: "Then I'll have to trouble my cousin."

"It's all part of my job. Oh, and I have someone here who might be able to help."

The image of Song Chen emerged in Master Chenxuan's mind. He thought that this man was smart and patient, and had always longed to leave the Marquis' Mansion and start his own business. Now that there was such a good opportunity to achieve something, Song Chen would surely not miss it easily.

"I wonder how many people you think should be sent? If guards are needed, we can pick some from the army, including those who can speak Chu language." Xiao Yi asked.

Everyone fell into deep thought, thinking about how to deploy this army.

Su Lun thought about it seriously and said, "The number of people entering the territory of Chu should not be too large, about ten people at most will be enough. They can be divided into three groups, disguised as refugees or merchants, lurking in different places and supporting each other. But you must keep it confidential, determine the code and the meeting place in advance. Then leave a small elite force in the border town ready to support at any time." His suggestion was recognized by everyone.

"In that case, the support task will be left to the general." Xie Tianlin looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded, indicating that he accepted the task.

Then, Xie Tianlin continued, "Also, select those who can speak Chu language and have special skills to train separately, and tell the public that they are carrying out secret missions. Captain Su, you will be responsible for training these people personally."

Su Lun was stunned, looking at Xie Tianlin in surprise, but he immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "I obey your order!"

"What do you think of this arrangement? Do you have any other opinions?" Xie Tianlin looked around and asked for others' opinions.

"Your Highness is wise!" Everyone answered in unison. They agreed with Xie Tianlin's decision and were full of confidence in this action.

"That's all for today. We'll start training in the next two days after we confirm the candidates. Recent news from the border is that many places in Chu have been hit by disasters and the harvest is very poor. We don't have much time..." Xie Tianlin sighed and said in a heavy tone.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will do our best." Several people said in unison.

"You all are the people I trust the most, so I feel at ease leaving this to you. Captain Su, don't go back to the barracks today, go home and take a look. Please keep the matter regarding the State of Chu confidential." Xie Tianlin looked at Su Lun and said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Lun was a little overjoyed. He didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

"It's getting late, and I still have some things to arrange, so I won't keep you here any longer." Xie Tianlin stood up and waved to everyone, signaling them to leave.

Several people tactfully said goodbye and left.

Su Lun was even more eager to go home at this time, and just wanted to get back home as soon as possible. Although Qingfeng reported good news to him the night before, it was the best thing for him to go back to the mansion to visit his elder brother at this moment.

Su Lun rode his horse quickly all the way, but he hadn't been home for two days. When he stepped into the mansion again, he was filled with emotion.

It was already nightfall, and Steward Su was surprised to see Su Lun coming back at this time. "Sir, why are you back at this time? Is there something wrong? Do you have dinner?"

"Uncle Su, I am on a mission, and the general has approved that I can return to the camp tomorrow. Is there any food in the kitchen now? I am really hungry!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll bring it to you right away." Butler Su responded repeatedly.

"Then please bring it to my room. I'll go back and wash up and change my clothes."

"Yes."

Su Lun returned to his room and sat down. What happened today was still a bit unexpected for him. At this moment, he could still feel his heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. Thinking that he would also be a member of the Infernal Affairs, Su Lun's heart was filled with excitement, just like a stone thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples. He took two sips to calm himself down. As soon as he put down the cup, a servant came to report that hot water had been brought over.

Su Lun hurriedly opened the door and took the water. "Uncle Huang, thank you. Just put it here. Go and have a rest."

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? It is my honor to be able to serve you."

"Haha, Uncle Huang, take care."

After everyone left, Su Lun found a set of comfortable clothes and put them aside, then took a bath happily.

After Su Lun had packed up, Butler Su knocked on Su Lun's door and said, "Sir, the food is ready. Shall we bring it in now?"

Su Lun opened the door as soon as he heard it, and saw Su Hao holding a tray with a plate of spicy chicken, two poached eggs, a side dish, and a big bowl of fragrant rice. It was freshly cooked, and the fragrance was like a pair of gentle hands, gently caressing Su Lun's nose, making him salivate.

"Sir, please eat first and see if you need anything else and ask the kitchen staff to make it."

"Uncle Su, this is enough. You don't need to do any more. You can go and have a rest. I will clean up the dishes after I finish eating."

"That won't do. Just leave it here after you finish eating. I'll come and clean it up later."

Su Lun knew that he couldn't win against Steward Su, so he stopped arguing and buried his head in his food. He was indeed a little hungry.

The meal was quickly finished. After Butler Su cleared away the dishes, Su Lun couldn't wait to walk towards Su Zheng's courtyard.
