After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

As it turns out, Deputy General Zhao was not one to play games.

Once Le Qi stepped onto the arena, he never came down.

In one afternoon, ten commanders were defeated in succession.

During this time, they fought using fist techniques, knife techniques, and spear techniques.

By the end, Le Qi's hands were trembling from exertion, and he almost couldn't hold his weapon, but he stubbornly endured it and stood up straight.

At this moment, many members of the Le family army turned their gazes to him, their eyes sparkling with adrenaline.

Deputy General Zhao casually remarked, "It's barely acceptable."

General Jin couldn't help but glance at him. At this moment, even he began to suspect that Deputy General Zhao had ulterior motives.

Could it be that they've been holding onto the Le family's army for so many years and are unwilling to relinquish real power?

That shouldn't be the case.

"I still have the strength to fight." On the arena, Le Qi said with ambition in his eyes, word by word.

What's the difference between this and a provocation?

Lieutenant General Wang and Lieutenant General Gu, who had gathered there at some unknown time, became somewhat anxious upon hearing this.

He can't even hold his weapon properly, what strength does he have left? Why is the young master suddenly acting so recklessly?

"Brother Le is brave."

A clear voice rang out: "However, since General Jin has just arrived at the camp, Vice General Zhao will certainly treat him well. Brother Le, you mustn't put Vice General Zhao in a difficult position."

Qin Yan came out from behind.

His words had a double meaning, giving Yue Qi a way out while also implying that Deputy General Yang should restrain himself.

Today, Yue Qi has stolen all the limelight.

I'm afraid that if I go too far, I might offend General Jin.

"And who is this young man?" General Jin stroked his beard, noticing that he wasn't wearing armor and didn't seem to be a soldier.

Qin Yan stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Junior Qin Yan, I have long heard my second uncle say that General Jin is a skilled warrior and have long admired him. Today I am fortunate to meet him, and he truly lives up to his reputation, possessing the demeanor of a great general of our dynasty."

Qin Yan? Second Uncle?

General Jin narrowed his eyes, remembering that Fang Nanzhi had an older brother named Qin Yan.

I've heard he's extremely talented, even ranking among the best at the Imperial Academy.

His second uncle was naturally Fang Yin.

General Jin and Fang Yin were not very familiar with each other, and Qin Yan's words were also somewhat exaggerated.

I truly admire you. Why didn't you visit me when we were both in the capital?

However, since the other party was polite and flattering, General Jin was still in a good mood.

"So you're General Fang's nephew. Not bad, with your sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, your future is limitless."

Under the "pulling" of the two, Deputy General Yang also joined in.

The three exchanged pleasantries and walked away. Only then was Yue Qi, who was on the arena, helped down by General Gu and sent back to the post station.

"Le Qi, the deputy general loves you deeply and is very strict with you. He may look bitter on the surface but is actually very kind to you. Don't blame him."

Inside the carriage, General Gu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Actually, he felt that testing the young master was unnecessary.

Those were personally trained by the Yue family, how could their martial arts skills be lacking? But Vice General Yang was very stubborn and insisted on following the rules left behind by General Yue.

Le Qi patted his shoulder, but her hand was shaking.

"I know."

He's not a narrow-minded person, but he still acted impulsively today.

That last sentence was too arrogant. If Qin Yan hadn't come, would he really have fought again?

Regardless of winning or losing, he will likely collapse from exhaustion.

General Gu felt slightly relieved, but he was afraid that after this incident, the young master and the deputy general would have a falling out.

Little did he know, he was already at peace.

The following day, Yue Qi stepped onto the arena again.

At the request of Deputy General Yang, this time the officers of the rank of brigade were sent up.

Upon hearing this, Fang Nanzhi gathered her hands to watch the spectacle.

Zheng Wanru also brought a bag of melon seeds. Anmei brought over a stool, and the three of them sat in a row, eating melon seeds and watching the fun.

When Deputy General Yang arrived, he saw the three girls enjoying themselves so much that he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He thought for a moment and then had someone bring over an oil-paper umbrella to shade them from the sun.

Looking at the large umbrella, Fang Nanzhi remarked, "Deputy General Yang is quite a nice person."

General Jin thought to himself, "What a sycophant!"

However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he sat next to the third daughter as an elder and chatted with Fang Nanzhi about everyday things from time to time.

For example, the capital is very far from here, so how did Miss Fang get here?

What brings Miss Fang here?

Fang Nanzhi only said that the Imperial Medical Academy intended to reorganize the military doctors, and that she came here to accumulate experience.

On the high platform, Le Qi had already fought three people in a row. Even though he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was still at a disadvantage.

He suffered from a lack of experience, and the officers were ruthless, attacking him in unexpected places several times, almost costing him his life...

While sighing, Fang Nanzhi still tried to find out more information.

"General Jin, how is the rebel you captured doing?"

General Jin was stunned for a moment before he realized that the rebels were referring to the Prince of Ning's heir.

The court hasn't even convicted him yet, and they're already calling him a traitor? How could he be the one who captured him? He was just going with the flow.

This little girl is no simpleton; she dug two huge pits for her with just one sentence.

"The Prince of Ning's heir has been placed under strict guard. I have already sent word to the capital. Everything awaits His Majesty's decision."

"Miss Fang, rest assured, I have reported everything truthfully regarding the injustice you suffered in this matter."

General Jin's meaning was clear: he wouldn't embellish or help anyone.

After a night, General Jin had automatically interpreted the conflict as the Crown Prince wanting to harm the Prince of Ning's heir, using Fang Nanzhi as a pawn.

He wouldn't participate in such a struggle.

Fang Nanzhi's focus, however, was elsewhere.

"Just guarding it?"

"General Jin, you are too merciful. Shouldn't we be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves when dealing with rebels?"

“You have to torture him, use all kinds of torture, to make him confess his motives, details, and accomplices for the rebellion.”

Fang Nanzhi spoke with righteous indignation, as if it were the truth.

General Jin thought to himself, "Wasn't it you who angered the Prince of Ning's son to commit treason?"

Besides, in such a major matter, if the imperial court hasn't made a decision, would he dare to take action against the Prince of Ning's heir?

I fear that if I return to the capital, Prince Ning will make things difficult for me.

General Jin smiled and said, "Miss Fang is joking. I cannot abuse my power. However, if Miss Fang gives an order while holding the jade pendant, I will certainly obey."

Wouldn't that be the Crown Prince issuing an order?

Fang Nanzhi pursed her lips, thinking that the old fox was not easy to fool.

At the same time, in Vice General Yang's tent, Lieutenant General Gu presented a letter.

"This was sent back to the capital by General Jin yesterday."

"By the way, I heard that Dr. Fang's people have also started communicating with the capital."

They didn't stop the message from being sent by carrier pigeon.

Without even looking at it, Deputy General Yang threw the letter into the fire and burned it.

"Let's wait another half month, it won't be too late to send a message then."

Then forge a letter and send it to the capital, saying that the Prince of Ning's heir has control of the Yue family army. The Prince of Ning will surely feel that the time is ripe and launch a rebellion in one fell swoop.

Half a month was also the time limit given to them by the Crown Prince.

General Gu scratched his head.

"I understand, but... sir, I haven't read this letter yet, and I haven't memorized General Jin's handwriting. How am I supposed to imitate it later?"

Deputy General Yang coughed awkwardly.

"Then remember to watch it next time."

General Gu was helpless.

"News has been blocked at the border for half a month. Where is Miss Fang?"

"Do not care."

"That's what Deputy General Yang said."

On the day Fang Nanzhi arrived, he first received a secret letter from the capital.

His Highness the Crown Prince personally instructed him to do his best to protect Fang Nanzhi.

The two had a close relationship, and the message Fang Nanzhi sent out wouldn't ruin their plans.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys. What about General Jin?" General Gu hesitated.

They came all this way, and now they're just here to make up the numbers? That's not good.

The Le family army had no need to offend other military generals for no reason.

"Observe him for four or five days. If he has no intention of fighting, then treat him to fine wine and beautiful women, and make him so happy that he forgets about home."

"I think for a moment," said Deputy General Yang.

They don't need General Jin for the time being, but they can't send him back either, so they have to keep him at bay.

General Gu felt this was a bit difficult.

They're so happy they forget about home. The capital is so prosperous, and General Jin is so knowledgeable and worldly-wise, he probably wouldn't appreciate the scenery on their border.

"I will do my best," General Gu said, forcing a smile.

Meanwhile, Qin Yan was eating meat with two soldiers.

Alcohol is not allowed in the military camp, but meat is also a rare treat.

"Young Master Qin, you truly are a worthy friend of the young master, possessing both literary and martial talents. We admire you greatly."

Today at the martial arts training ground, Qin Yan humbly asked for a few tips during his training.

The friendship among warriors is forged in battle.

"I am but a scholar, far inferior to you who have served the country and risked your lives. It is my elder brothers who should be my students."

With Qin Yan's abilities, it would be easy for him to flatter someone.

And he was half sincere when he said that.

After eating until they were half full, the group became more familiar with each other, and Qin Yan sighed deeply.

“Brothers, you don’t know, I only have one sister, whom I have cherished since childhood. But the girl is upright and unyielding. Yesterday, she almost got killed just for saying a few words of justice.”

"I know you're a weak scholar. I feel sorry for you, but you can't avenge your sister. It's pathetic!"

He suddenly smashed the bowl, seemingly quite indignant.

Everyone in the military camp knew that Dr. Fang was there to be their military doctor, so they had a very good impression of him.

Furthermore, everyone witnessed what happened yesterday and knows that Dr. Fang is completely innocent.

"Alas, it's a pity that the Prince of Ning's son is of high status; at least he was spared his dog's life."

"You don't need to belittle yourself. With His Majesty here, he will certainly not let Doctor Fang suffer any injustice."

Qin Yan suddenly stood up and solemnly bowed to them.

“Brothers, His Majesty is certainly fair, but it will take a long time for him to come back and forth. I want to vent my anger first, so I ask you brothers to lend me a hand.”

Prince Ning's heir was imprisoned by General Jin's men, making it difficult for Qin Yan to get close.

But the Le family army is different.

The soldiers are still in the military camp; where can't they go?

Half an hour later.

The two men carried the food box and headed towards a secluded tent.

Guarding the main tent were General Jin's personal guards, who were also very polite.

"I'd like to trouble you two brothers to make this trip."

The soldier waved his hand: "Don't mention it, we're the hosts..."

"You guys are the ones who are pitiful, getting such a bad job."

The two guards couldn't help but show bitterness on their faces, but dared not say it.

Keeping a close watch on the Prince of Ning's heir was no easy task; this man had a truly terrible temper.

They've already fallen to this point, and they still won't behave.

It caused a lot of trouble for people.

The lieutenant general instructed that the heir apparent should not be treated harshly and that they should wait for the court's reply.

"Actually, it's not surprising that the young master is like this; he's probably been traumatized."

"During the palace banquet this year, the Crown Princess was caught having an affair with the Third Prince."

"I heard that the Crown Prince didn't dare to offend the Third Prince, so he pretended to be a cuckold and forgave the Crown Princess."

"The Crown Princess Consort showed no remorse. During the Lantern Festival, she even went out to meet the Third Prince in secret. The two of them were in an alley... Many people saw them and dared not go out."

The two soldiers who delivered the food finished their conversation and ran off.

The guards stationed in the camp felt a chill run down their spines.

Oh no! They didn't say a word the whole time, how come those two soldiers were so quick to talk?

Do you tell everyone everything?

This is far more serious than the Crown Prince keeping a mistress; it also involves the Third Prince.

Knowing this secret, how could they possibly survive?

Were those two soldiers trying to harm them?

Compared to them, the Prince of Ning's son was already red with anger.

The word "adultery" extinguished what little rationality he had left.

No, no, no! The palace banquet was just a misunderstanding. Su Qingya explained, and he also investigated.

But on the Lantern Festival, when he went out for a night of revelry, he heard that the Crown Princess had gone back to her parents' home.

No, the Lantern Festival is a festival for family reunion. The Earl's Mansion would never take his married daughter back home.

The anger and humiliation in the heart of the Prince of Ning erupted completely. He drew his longsword and rushed out.

"Ah! I'm going to kill them!"

The guards at the door immediately snapped out of their daze, rushed forward, and stopped the man.

To prevent him from struggling, they tied him up again.

"Quickly, fetch the general! The young master has suddenly gone mad!"

Someone ran away immediately.

So General Jin stopped watching the spectacle.

When he arrived at the camp, the prince was already tied up and was still shouting and cursing, calling him Su Qingya, the Third Prince, and adulterers, which made his heart pound.

He only left after someone had gagged the Prince of Ning's son.

"What happened?"

General Jin has a headache.

Yesterday, after the Crown Prince was arrested, he said that he acted impulsively and wanted to see Fang Nanzhi in person to apologize.

At the time, he really did have the air of a prince, which is why he didn't tie anyone up.

But right now...

The guards, gritting their teeth, recounted the whole story.

General Jin was also stunned.

Did the Princess Consort of Prince Ning have an affair with the Third Prince?

Is this true or false?

No, he shouldn't concern himself with whether it's true or false.

"After that, keep the Crown Prince tied up. He's talking nonsense now, and I had no choice but to do this."

General Jin sighed, as if utterly helpless.

The guards, being quick-witted, immediately understood.

"Yes, the young master suddenly said things that were incomprehensible and even wanted to kill people. We had no choice but to kidnap him."

Someone pointed it out.

The others understood as well.

That's right! There were no food delivery soldiers, and Prince Ning's actions weren't due to any provocation.

It was him who was talking nonsense for no reason.

In this way, they knew nothing about the Crown Princess and the Third Prince's affair and had never heard of it.

The guards breathed a huge sigh of relief.

General Jin gave them an approving look and then went to settle accounts with Deputy General Yang.

Deliberately sending someone to provoke the Prince of Ning's heir is just asking for trouble for him, isn't it?

"Dr. Fang!"

The Chinese military doctor rushed over, but he didn't recognize General Jin and didn't salute him.

"Dr. Fang, you only rested for half a day yesterday, and you're here to see the commotion again today. You can't just ignore the medical expenses..."

The Chinese military doctor spoke with great earnestness and concern.

Fang Nanzhi numbly got up and followed him.

Zheng Wanru and the others were together, of course.

Now, next to the medical tent, a small tent has been set up, where three or four people are busy.

Alcohol is produced by distillation.

Le Qi guaranteed that alcohol was incredibly effective for treating external injuries, so General Wang gritted his teeth and brought over all the alcohol from the kitchen.

This wine was originally intended to be used to celebrate the victory of the soldiers in the event of a battle.
