Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

Chapter 401 Inquiry

"You don't have to leave the palace anymore. Just study in the palace. I have already prepared the alchemy furnace." Zhao Chongxiu would naturally not allow Taoist Chongyang to fall into the hands of others.

"Yes." Taoist Chongyang didn't want to go out either. He is old now and of course he knows that if he goes out, his life will be in danger.

In fact, he had lived in this palace since the day of the siege.

At the same time, he also clearly realized that the safest thing for him at this moment was to stay in the palace.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Yue did not rush back home, but went to find Chen Yuan first.

At General Chen's Mansion, as soon as Chen Yuan returned home today, he told his family that he would be leaving in three days.

As a result, the entire Chen Mansion fell into a state of tension in an instant.

Especially Mrs. Chen, a delicate little woman, who was now leaning in Chen Yuan's arms, crying.

"Husband, is it so sudden?"

"This is a matter of honor for our ancestors. If I go, I will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and Your Majesty has a powerful weapon in his hands to defeat the enemy. If I return triumphantly with military exploits, it will be a great honor."

Chen Yuan smiled and comforted his wife, and patted her back gently with one hand.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Mrs. Chen was still worried. Finally, she heard the servant report back.

"General, madam, the young general is here to visit."

Mrs. Chen finally stopped crying.

"The young general is here? Come in!" Chen Yuan was surprised and walked out of the main courtyard. When he saw Jiang Yue coming, he first clasped his fists and said,

"Congratulations, young general, you've been promoted again. I believe that with you protecting Lindu City, it will be safe and sound."

He was somewhat smug when he said this.

That’s right, he felt that if he could recapture the Jin Dynasty this time, his contribution would naturally surpass Jiang Yue’s.

Chen Yuan was in a particularly good mood because he was going to go to war in three days.

"There is no need to worry about Lindu City. I hope General Chen can defeat the enemy as soon as possible." Jiang Yue saw Chen Yuan's expression.

"Of course. What does the young general want to see me about?" Chen Yuan asked, and made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Yue, then looked at the servant behind him.

"Watch the tea."

"No need." Jiang Yue came here not to chat with Chen Yuan, so she asked directly:

"How much do you know about Captain Ding?"

This person had repeatedly tried to go against her, so Jiang Yue wanted to ask about him.

"Him?" Chen Yuan had never had any good feelings towards Captain Ding in the first place, and now he had a lot to list about this man's shortcomings.

"He is all show and no substance, and he is selfish. He tried to please me before, but after I rejected him, he held a grudge and wanted to take my place."

Jiang Yue: "What else? For example, his background, who he likes to associate with?"

"He was promoted two years ago because of his military merits. As for whether there is someone backing him up, it should be the Mu family. After all, the two families are cousins. The Mu family is the one he interacts with the most."

Jiang Yue seemed to be thinking about something, and her doubts about Ding Ping grew even stronger.

"What military achievement?"

Chen Yuan was a little confused as to why Jiang Yue was so concerned about Ding Ping, so he replied:

"He was originally a soldier under General Huyan. At the end of last year, he was rewarded for killing the barbarians of the Great Jin Dynasty and was noticed by General Huyan."

"It was also because of that war that he was seriously injured and returned to the capital to recuperate. Because of his military merits, His Majesty appointed him as a lieutenant."

"That's why I opposed you from the beginning, thinking that the soldiers you brought back from the border were flashy and useless."

"General Huyan?" Jiang Yue thought of what Zhao Chongzheng had said to Wen Liang in prison.

"Has the border between Donglin and Dajin been safe in recent years?"

Chen Yuan nodded, "Of course it's safe. The Great Jin dare not act recklessly. General Huyan and General Ling are both among the most powerful generals in my Donglin."

Jiang Yue's heart moved slightly, wondering if there was something wrong with Ding Ping?

"When Captain Ding was injured, was there anything unusual about the battle?"

Chen Yuan recalled:

"It was said that he rushed into the enemy camp alone and cut off countless heads of barbarians. He was very brave. But I think his style of doing things is a bit impetuous, not like a down-to-earth person."

"How can a mere soldier have such ability? I'm afraid he must have taken credit for someone else's work."

To be honest, Chen Yuan was more or less dissatisfied with Ding Ping.

People like Chen Ping can achieve military merit, so if he himself were to join the battle, he would certainly be much stronger.

He had also used the same thoughts on Jiang Yue.

But now, he has been entrusted with an important task, and he feels balanced.

Jiang Yue briefly learned about Ding Ping and stopped asking questions. After saying goodbye to Chen Yuan, she started walking home.

On the way home today, what the people talked about most was the matter of the officials from the Ministry of Justice chasing bandits.

Before Jiang Yue could hear clearly, she saw the Crown Prince and his two guards running all over the street chasing the leader, and she hurriedly ran towards the Crown Prince.
