When Su Xiaoxiao came over with the brewed medicine, she felt that the unconscious Jing Yi had nothing to live for.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting solemnly. “Are you sure you didn’t do anything to Jing Yi?”

Wei Ting looked innocent. “After all, I risked my life to save him. How can I not hope for him? I saw that he was unconscious, so I was kind enough to talk to him just now.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What did you say to him?”

Wei Ting’s eyes flashed. “Ahem, nothing. They’re calling me outside. I’ll go out first! ”

He placed his hands behind his back and walked out with his old fatherly gait.

Regarding Su Xiaoxiao’s happy pulse, Qin Canglan decided not to announce it to the public for the time being. Su Xiaoxiao had no objections, and so did Wei Ting.

Su Xiaoxiao ate and drank when she needed to. She ordered soldiers when she needed to and handed the training to Wei Ting.

No one suspected anything. After all, before Wei Ting arrived, Qin Canglan and Su MO had trained in the Crimson Shadow Army. Moreover, there were many old subordinates of the Wei family in the Crimson Shadow Army. Everyone accepted Wei Ting quite well, but they changed the way they addressed him from Young Master to Young Master-in-law.

On the other side, Leng Kui’s son, Leng Zhao, had returned from Northern Yan.

As soon as he entered the camp, he heard that Leng Jue had been dealt with. Leng Jue was his most beloved son, and his heart ached.

“Dad! How could you let Jue’er be dealt with? No matter what mistake Jue’er made, he’s your biological grandson!”

In Leng Hua’s tent, Leng Kui glanced at him and said coldly, “Do you think I didn’t want to save Jue’er?”

Leng Zhao clenched his fists and said, “You’re the commander-in-chief at the border. What right does Qin Canglan have to interfere?”

Leng Hua sighed. “Father, King Liang has come to the border. Now, he has appointed Qin Canglan to be temporarily reinstated.”

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao had killed Leng Jue before this, but since it had already happened, there was no point in arguing. In short, she had the support of King Liang.

Leng Zhao was puzzled. “When did King Liang get together with Qin Canglan?”

Leng Hua shook his head. “I’m not sure. King Liang came to the border with Qin Canglan’s granddaughter. King Liang Wang has always been unwilling to reveal what he is doing. When King Liang was trapped in Jia County, that girl recruited troops and bought horses to save King Liang. She even slandered us in front of him, saying that we harmed him. In short, the current situation is very disadvantageous to our Leng family.”

Leng Zhao narrowed his eyes. “No wonder when I came over from the Qin family’s tent just now, I saw Qin Canglan sitting on the stool and laughing foolishly. So he’s back to his official position. He laughed so loudly, as if he was afraid that no one would know. He’s deliberately embarrassing the Leng family!”

Leng Kui looked at Leng Zhao and then at the young man in black behind him. “Did the two of you gain anything from your trip to Northern Yan?”

Leng Zhao told her what he had found out. “Northern Yan planned to ask the

Western Jin to send troops, but they rejected Nprthern Yan.”

The terrain of the Northern Yan, the Western Jin, and the Great Zhou was like the forehead and cheeks. The forehead was the Northern Yan, the left face was the Western Jin, and the right face was the Great Zhou. The Western Jin’s camp was all the way to the west of the Broken North Pass, which was also connected to the border of the Northern Yan.

If the Western Jin was willing to send troops, they could go straight to Broken North Pass through the territory of Northern Yan.

Leng Kui was not surprised. “A slight move will affect the entire situation. The Western Jin will not send troops easily. They have to be wary of Wei Country’s covetous gaze. At the end of the day, this is a battle between the Great Zhou and Northern Yan. How’s the food supply?”

“That’s what I wanted to say.” Leng Zhao’s expression was not good. “After we returned from Northern Yan, we immediately went to Chong County, but guess what, Dad? The last batch of rations has been bought up! Most of the rations that were sent to the Western Jin were bought, and not a single grain of rice was left behind! The rations we reserved were also intercepted at a high price!”

“It was that girl!” Leng Hua punched the table.

“Which girl?” Leng Zhao asked.

Leng Hua said coldly, “Qin Canglan’s granddaughter. She recruited soldiers and bought horses at the border. Her salary is twice that of the Imperial Court; her pension is three times that of the Imperial Court, and her rations are extremely abundant. The Crimson Shadow Army has meat to eat every meal. Even the troops of Qin Canglan and Su MO are enjoying life.”

As he spoke, the fragrance of meat came from outside.

The Crimson Shadow Army began to stew big bone soup again. Tonight, they would eat radishes and roasted meat.

They swallowed.

Leng Zhao said, “It wasn’t easy for our Leng family to reach our current status. We can’t let others snatch it away.”

The position of the marshal was originally Qin Canglan’s, and the military strength at the border was originally the Wei family’s. It was only because Qin Canglan took the initiative to retire from his official position and something happened to the Wei family that the Leng family felt that everything was theirs..
