Chapter 67: Jealousy One
"The pay has been postponed for a month, and it hasn't arrived yet, and the soldiers are panicking."
"Yes, this said that it will arrive in a month or two after the year, and now it's almost summer."
"General... Lookβ" They all looked at He Fei eagerly.
"How long do we have enough food left over for everyone?" He Fei frowned.
"Less than half a month."
"Don't let the news of the shortage of food and salary come out, don't let the morale of the army collapse, especially not let the people of the Avik tribe know."
"Yes!" The man in charge of the payroll withdrew.
"Send a team of trustworthy people to take a look, and report back to every post station along the way."
"Yes." The messenger finished his salute and left the tent.
"Meng Lu, you go and find out about the situation of the Aviks."
"Yes." The man performed a strange courtesy, and then withdrew. Before leaving, he glanced at He Anyue thoughtfully.
He did not look like a native of his own country, but like a foreigner.
He Anyue stared at him until he walked out of the tent and tugged at Li Xuanwu's sleeve. Now there are only three people left in the room: He Fei, Li Xuanwu and He Anyue.
"He's not a native of the country, is he?"
"Well, he's from the Aviks." He Fei hurriedly answered the question and looked at He Anyue kindly.
"Him?" He Anyue's mouth opened wide.
"Well, he's rebellious, and besides, he's the son of the tribal chief." Li Xuanwu added.
"When did he get here?" He Anyue looked at Li Xuanwu.
"I came here three years ago, but I didn't dare to trust him, so he didn't get close to any secrets before." He Fei poured her a cup of tea, put his fingers on the wall of the teacup, felt the temperature, and felt that it was suitable for drinking, so he put it in front of He Anyue, and poured a cup for Li Xuanwu.
"Then he..." He Anyue licked his chapped mouth, just as she wanted to drink water, she saw her father pour him good water, and couldn't help but look at He Fei and smile.
"But he volunteered to ask Ying to find out the news of their clan, and for three years, there was no mistake." Li Xuanwu looked at He Anyue and smiled. "Speaking of which, this patriarch is also old and confused, and he handed over such an excellent son to us." He shook his head, raised the teacup in front of him to He Fei and gestured, and drank it all.
"However, this does not mean that he is very reliable, so he hastily told him that we are short of food, and if he returns to the clan in a short time, won't he take us into the army?"
"This shortage of food and wages is both true and false." He Fei and Li Xuanwu glanced at each other and smiled meaninglessly.
"What? Could it beβ" He Anyue looked at the two of them.
Li Xuanwu nodded, "It is true that our current food is only enough for the soldiers for half a month, but in fact, the army that has already contacted the sports food and salary will arrive in less than ten days." β
"In the past three years, Meng Lu has also let our guard down, so we are going to use this time to test him."
"Heβ" He Anyue bit her finger.
"If you want to know anything, talk to him yourself, I believe in your vision." He Fei had long seen that Li Xuanwu was interested in He Anyue, but he would never let his daughter marry into the palace.
"It's not proper, Yue'er is not deeply involved in the world, and it is easy to be deceived by him." Li Xuanwu hurriedly grabbed He Anyue's wrist, for fear that she would just leave.
Seeing this scene, He Fei smiled, "Fifth Prince, this little military advisor is not your favorite concubine, where do you have any reason to imprison him, military advisor, the task of exploring Meng Lu will be handed over to you." He Fei winked at her.
The first time she was entrusted with a task, it was still her father, He Anyue felt that her enthusiasm was surging, she nodded, "Okay." β
"This..."Li Xuanwu wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Fei.
"Let's go out and find Meng Lu first, and follow him well during this time." He Fei stood up and walked to He Anyue's side, and kindly touched her coiled hair.
"I will, Daddy... Generals rest assured. He Anyue stuck out her tongue and ran away, not seeing Li Xuanwu who was anxiously trying to hold her on the side.
"General, this is not appropriate, Yue'er is just a military advisor, if Meng Lu really rebels, then she will be in danger."
"And can you be sure he's a good guy?" He Fei looked at him, but he despised him in his heart, of course his daughter had to ensure safety, and there would definitely be secret guards watching their actions all the time.
"This..." Li Xuanwu lowered his head, he was carried away by emotion, but found that he didn't know her identity at all.
"Where did you meet?"
"Qinglou."
"Under what circumstances?"
"When she was sold by that turtle on the first night, I saved her by the way."
Where Li Xuanwu didn't see it, He Fei clenched his fists fiercely, he would let this green building go up in smoke.
"And after that?" He Fei resisted the impulse in his heart.
"After that, I went back to China, and I was assassinated halfway, and he saved me."
"And can you show that he's a good guy?" He Fei "followed the good temptation".
"Can't..."
"Do you know her identity?"
"Can't..."Li Xuanwu lowered his head weakly.
"Maybe he's a spy?"
"It can't be!" Li Xuanwu stood up.
"You don't have any evidence that he's a good person, besides, if she's a spy, isn't sending him to find out Meng Lu's identity this time just to let the two of them fight each other? If it's a spy, sooner or later you'll be exposed. He Fei felt that he was about to be explained.
"General, I will agree with your approach, but I still believe that Yue'er is a good person, not a spy, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first." Li Xuanwu slapped the table and stood up, and was about to open the curtain and leave when He Fei stopped him.
"Fifth Prince, pay attention to your identity." He Fei smiled meaninglessly.
Li Xuanwu could know the meaning of his words.
"Thanks for the reminder, General, I'll go first."
"My daughter's charm is great." He Fei looked at Li Xuanwu's back and smiled secretly, although he didn't like to let his daughter marry into the palace, but it was also very enjoyable to see a prince who could believe in a "stranger" without reservation, especially when he saw his daughter getting more and more beautiful, he was really excited about his father's self.
Li Xuanwu returned to the tent alone, but He Anyue, who was originally pestering him, was not in the tent, and must have gone to find Meng Lu.
"I don't know when she will come back, whether she will fall in love with that Meng Lu." Li Xuanwu lay on the bed, thinking of Meng Lu's appearance, that is, curly hair, a tall nose, and delicate facial features, nothing more. I am not handsome, I am not handsome, I am not chic, I am not wise.
Li Xuanwu thought for a moment and sat up suddenly, "But she can't see what to do." β
