Chapter 194 Why don’t you come in and see me?
"Why not?"
Nan Yingzhi was also curious about Yun Ji's training results and whether he was bullied. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to take Chang Yu there directly.
But after taking a look at the desk, which was piled with official business due to the autumn hunt, she gave Chang Yu a seat and motioned for him to wait a moment.
"Wait for me for a moment," Nan Yingzhi picked up the red brush on the pen holder and wrote in a flourish, "I will take you there in person after I finish my official duties."
Hearing that she was going to go in person, Chang Yu immediately felt that His Majesty cared about this person.
He responded with "Yes, sir," and then sat upright on the chair next to him, waiting for Nan Yingzhi's instructions.
Thinking of Yunji in her heart, Nan Yingzhi concentrated and worked very efficiently. It usually took her two hours to review official documents, but today she finished it in just one and a half hours.
As soon as she stood up, Chang Yu, who had been waiting, could no longer sit still and stood up as well.
Walking to his side, Nan Yingzhi patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Unlike last night when she rode the horse to the palace herself, she thought to herself that she was the emperor and needed to be careful with her words and actions. So she accepted Lingfeng's suggestion, sat on the dragon chariot, and went to the training ground.
As they approached, the surroundings were silent. Nan Yingzhi pricked up her ears and only heard Ling Yu's loud shouts coming from the training ground from time to time.
Feeling confused, she asked the people around her to keep quiet and led Chang Yu over quietly.
Not knowing that His Majesty was present, Yun Ji had a sullen face and focused on directing Ling Yu and training the imperial guards to quickly form some basic formations.
She didn't know much about military tactics. She had only seen the neat military parades on the Internet during the National Day every year. When Nan Yingzhi first saw how the troops were deployed, she got goose bumps all over her body.
The autumn wind was bleak, and the general in black armor and red robe gave orders with a tense expression.
The soldiers below looked solemn and followed orders strictly, revealing an indescribable, heavy sense of solemnity.
This scene reminded Nan Yingzhi of the poem she memorized in high school, "Eight hundred miles of roasted meats distributed to the subordinates, fifty strings play the music of the frontier, and soldiers are inspected on the battlefield in autumn."
(Song Dynasty: Xin Qiji's "Poetry of Breaking the Array: A Poem Written for Chen Tongfu to Send to Him")
Following behind her, Chang Yu looked from afar and vaguely felt that the general looked familiar.
But he could only catch a glimpse of the person's profile. He couldn't see clearly and couldn't tell for a moment that it was the little girl who followed him and called him "Uncle Chang" more than ten years ago.
After remaining silent and staring at the heroic Yun Ji for a long time, Nan Yingzhi finally spoke and introduced him to Chang Yu.
"Here," she pointed at the young man in bright clothes and on a horse, signaling to Chang Yu, "The man I'm talking about is him."
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, as Yun Ji happened to turn his head slightly at this moment.
From Chang Yu's perspective, he could see most of his face.
Chang Yu never expected that the reinforcements sent by His Majesty were actually General Nan's only daughter, a little girl who had never liked martial arts and only loved makeup since childhood. Chang Yu was shocked.
"This..." He wiped his eyes fiercely with the back of his hand twice, his words were unbelievable, "Miss Nan, when did you become so powerful?"
She didn't want to explain to him that the person inside was Yun Ji. Nan Yingzhi looked relieved, as if she had seen that her good friend's family business had a successor.
"General Nan is indeed a brave man," she said, clapping her hands and laughing softly, like an emperor meeting a good general. "A good father will have a good daughter."
Not wanting to disturb Yunji, Nan Yingzhi took care of Chang Yu for a while, then asked Chang Yu to prepare for tomorrow's expedition and have a good rest, and then returned to the palace.
Yun Ji was extremely devoted in trying to tame these young soldiers within half a day. He only ate a little at noon and dealt with the task in a hurry.
As the sun was setting and the sky was filled with red clouds, he followed the soldiers in training, sweating all over and already choking with hunger.
After briefly explaining to everyone that they should leave a suicide note tonight and go out to the battle tomorrow, Yun Ji waved his arm to signal for the group to disperse.
Before going to the battlefield, the usually brave imperial guards could not help but feel worried.
Silently reciting the various encouraging words that Lingyu had just said, they did not scatter like birds and beasts as usual. Instead, they glanced at Yunji cautiously and evacuated the training ground quietly and orderly.
Yun Ji was hungry and tired, with no distractions in his mind. He just wanted to see Xiao Zhizi and talk to her tenderly.
Unlike last night, when Nan Yingzhi had to hold on to the horse's back with his own hands, he was agile and easily jumped onto the horse with just a little effort.
Just as he clamped his legs against the horse's belly and was about to rush to the palace, Lingyu suddenly reached out, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered to him, "Prince."
Knowing that Yunji didn't like physical contact, Lingyu saw him looking back and quickly withdrew her hand.
After all, Yun Ji had a good relationship with him, so he didn't mind him touching him. He just frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Ahem," Ling Yu put away her teasing expression and became serious when he questioned her seriously, "The sentry outside said that His Majesty was here today."
Little Gardenia, have you been here?
Since she took the trouble to come all the way from the palace, why doesn't she come in to see me?
A sense of bitterness suddenly welled up in his heart. Yun Ji held the whip in his hand and rode forward: "Got it."
His thoughts were in a mess, and he remembered what Nan Yingzhi had said before, "I don't want any misunderstandings," and decided to go and ask for clarification in person.
