The border received Xie Sui's letter from Youzhou early in the morning. Today is the day Xie Sui will arrive at the border.

Pei Jin, Xiao Yan and General Chen arrived at the entrance to the border early in the morning to wait for Xie Sui. In the letter, Xie Sui mentioned that it was His Majesty who asked him to come to the border to commend the border soldiers and to confer titles on those who had made contributions.

But Xiao Yan didn't think so. Xie Sui must have other reasons for coming to the border this time.

Xie Sui arrived in a carriage. If anyone else had tried to enter the military camp in a carriage, they would definitely not have been allowed in. But this was Xie Sui. No matter how ridiculous Xie Sui was, no one dared to say a word.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Prince of Chen."

"Yeah." Xie Sui responded indifferently, and this attitude made the whole scene a little awkward for a moment.

"Your Highness, the soldiers in the army are very happy to hear that you are here in person." General Chen stepped forward to smooth things over but he did not dare to offend Xie Sui. After all, they all knew Xie Sui's reputation outside.

For a long time, there was no sound in the carriage, which made General Chen even more embarrassed. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead quietly.

Pei Jin appeared calm and composed on the surface, but secretly he had already rolled his eyes several times.

Sudden.

There was a sound from the carriage, and Xie Sui walked out. Everyone bent down and waited, but unexpectedly, Xie Sui turned back and stretched out his hand, and then Yu Guiwan appeared in front of everyone.

The moment Xiao Yan saw Yu Guiwan, his eyes changed.

at last.

It was too late to find Yu Gui, but now that His Royal Highness Prince Chen was here, it was difficult for them to take action.

"Greetings to Princess Chen." Pei Jin was the first to speak, followed by Xiao Yan and General Chen. "Your Highness and I did not expect the Princess to come in person."

General Chen's expression was grim, but he didn't dare show it. With His Royal Highness Prince Chen around, how could he dare express his dissatisfaction with Yu Guiwan? Since ancient times, it was unjustified for women to enter the military camp. Was this the Yu family's upbringing?

The two men got off the carriage, and Xiao Yan immediately asked someone to tow the carriage away. After all, carriages were not allowed to enter the military camp.

Bei Chu spoke up in time and stopped the man, "Wait a minute, the prince's carriage is about to enter the military camp."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, as he knew someone would get there before him. General Chen's expression turned even uglier. He approached Xie Sui and said, "Your Highness, carriages are not allowed into the barracks."

"Please, Your Majesty..."

Before General Chen could finish his words, Bei Chu interrupted him, "General Chen, do you have any objections?"

"The carriage contains everything His Highness needs for daily life. If something happens to His Highness, can you bear the responsibility?" Bei Chu asked back, his eyes becoming sharp.

Now, General Chen dared not say anything and fell silent.

Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan fought side by side, while the others walked beside them to lead the way. Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan did not speak a word along the way. It was Bei Chu who was giving instructions all the time. "Your Highness and Princess, please keep going. We will celebrate with the generals in the evening."

The others didn't dare to say a word and naturally agreed.

"I heard that it was General Xiao who found my brother's sword?" Yu Guiwan suddenly spoke, his eyes falling on Xiao Yan.

"It was indeed found by me on the battlefield. I have given the sword to the young marquis to take back to the capital." Xiao Yan replied respectfully.

Yu Guiwan stared at him, trying hard to conceal her anger. After a while, she spoke, "Thank you so much, General, for helping me recover my sword. I, the princess, must repay your kindness."

Yu Guiwan almost uttered these last few words through gritted teeth.

"Princess, you're joking. Marshal Yu sacrificed his life for our country. This is what we should do."

Xiao Yan bowed.

……

In the tent.

Xie Sui dismissed everyone else and only left Pei Jin. After everyone left, Pei Jin looked relieved and stretched. "You guys are finally here. It's really uncomfortable to pretend here." Pei Jin complained.

He clearly knew that General Yu and Master Yu had been found, but he still had to pretend to look for people and clues in the military camp, and he had to keep an eye on the suspicious people in the army.

"Perhaps because they know why you're coming, the army is very quiet."

When mentioning this matter, Pei Jin straightened his expression.

*

The celebration banquet began. Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan sat in the main seats, and the others sat in the lower seats. The entire military camp was very lively. As soon as Xie Sui arrived at the camp, he asked Pei Jin to pass on the order, saying that he came on behalf of the emperor and everyone would receive a reward.

So the military doctor's office is particularly busy tonight.

"This time, I am not here to celebrate the victory, but to reward all the generals. You deserve rewards for your merits." Having said this, Xie Sui stopped and his eyes fell on Xiao Yan and Zhuang Feilu.

Both of them felt a chill down their spines when Xie Sui stared at them, and subconsciously felt a little guilty.

"The guilt must be punished."

As soon as Xie Sui finished speaking, people came forward and surrounded Xiao Yan and Zhuang Feilu.

"Your Highness, what do you want to do?!" Xiao Yan immediately stood up and looked at Xie Sui with a fierce look in his eyes.

"General Xiao naturally understands what Your Highness is saying." Yu Guiwan raised his eyebrows and his gaze fell on Xiao Yan, with hidden meaning in his words.

Xiao Yan endured it for a moment and bowed, saying, "I am stupid and I hope Your Highness can tell me something." The affairs of the army are secretive, and Xie Sui has just arrived, so he will definitely not find out about it, so he can't lose his composure at this time.

"You delayed the military plan and caused the death of Commander Yu. Shouldn't you be punished?"

"His Majesty has ordered immediate reinforcements. Xiao Yan, Zhuang Feilu, what have you done? Don't you know?" Xie Sui's voice was resounding.

Xiao Yan and Zhuang Feilu naturally wouldn't admit it. Zhuang Feilu leaned forward and said, "I'm afraid Your Highness has misunderstood. The main reason we were delayed was because we were ambushed by the Liang people on the way here."

Zhuang Feilu still used the same excuse as before.

When Xiao Yan heard Xie Sui say this, he felt relieved. Not to mention that the Yuanzhou prefect had been executed on the spot by Xie Sui, where could they find any witnesses now?

"Ambush by Liang people?" Xie Sui asked, and then he heard him say, "How could Liang people appear in the dignified Yuanzhou territory? Isn't it General Xiao's fault?"

These words made Xiao Yan choke. He didn't expect that Xie Sui would catch him in this mistake. It seemed that Xie Sui was determined to convict him today.

"This is indeed my fault. I beg Your Highness to punish me."

Xiao Yan immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake. It was just a small mistake, and he didn't believe Xie Sui would dare to do anything to him.

Yu Guiwan continued, "Then does General Xiao admit that he intentionally delayed military affairs?" She stared at Xiao Yan and continued to ask.

"I don't admit it." Xiao Yan said loudly.

"Okay." Yu Guiwan shouted, and everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they heard Xie Sui's voice, "Bring him up."

Xiao Yan and Zhuang Feilu looked in the direction of the voice, and both of them widened their eyes.
