After leaving the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, Cheng Zheng rode to the Military and Government Center to return his orders to King Xiang.
Cheng Zheng responded according to etiquette, "General Cheng Zheng should be recalled to the capital to see King Xiang."
"I came back very quickly."
Prince Xiang Xu Qingsong put down his pen and smiled happily.
"The general received the imperial edict and did not dare to delay it.
This is the military report for this month in Western Xinjiang."
Cheng Zheng stood up and approached to present the memorial.
The army is required to write a report at least once a month, reporting on various aspects of the army's war, drills, food, clothing and camps.
When the war is busy, they write more.
King Xiang is the leader of the Yun Clan Army, and all regular military reports are submitted to him, who compiles them and reports them to the emperor.
Xu Qingsong took it and put it aside without opening it.
He was not called back to discuss military affairs.
He took out a secret letter from the drawer and handed it to Cheng Zheng.
Xu Qingsong is an easy-going person.
In addition, he was promoted by King Zhenxi in his youth and has a close friendship with the Cheng family.
Cheng Zheng is not restrained in front of Xu Qingsong.
"This is how King Xiang welcomes me back."
"This is the purpose of your coming back."
Xu Qingsong said seriously.
Cheng Zheng took out the envelope, took a brief look at it, and asked, "When will we set off?"
"Five days later.
I have selected elite soldiers and generals for you to escort you all the way.
It should be flawless.
You will be rewarded when you succeed."
"Thank you, King Xiang."
Xu Qingsong then exchanged greetings with Cheng Zheng and let him go.
After Cheng Zheng left, Xu Qingsong opened Cheng Zheng's memorial and sighed, "Xijiang, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back."
That night, Yi Lin had dinner at Cheng Zheng's house.
After a long separation, the two of them naturally cherished the opportunity to be together.
Everything Yi Lin ate tasted delicious.
After having some tea after the meal, Cheng Zheng prepared a carriage to take Yi Lin back to the palace.
"When will we set off?"
I asked.
"Five days later.
You know everything."
Yi Lin nodded and talked about cause and effect, "Yeah.
I suggested to my father that you go.
King Xiang is over fifty and it is inconvenient to go far away.
The only ones who can take on this important task are you, Yingfeng and Yuan Chen.
Yuan Chen is from the southeast The border is two or three times longer than your journey, and it is inconvenient to travel.
You have been at the border for many years, and I miss you so much that I would like to take this opportunity to transfer you back."
Now the next leader of the Yun clan is undecided, and the three generals in the clan are equally matched.
Yuan Chen and his father, King Minnan, guard the southeast and play an important role in ensuring stability.
Cheng Zheng had made great achievements in Western Xinjiang, and Yingfeng stayed in the capital to serve as Xu Qingsong's right-hand man and should not be underestimated.
If this operation can be successful, it will be a great achievement and will add a lot of glory to Cheng Zheng.

Cheng Zheng shook her hand and said solemnly, "Yilin, thank you."
Yilin lowered his head shyly and said, "Azheng, don't say that.
Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."
Cheng Zheng cheered up and said, "Yes.
When I come back this time, I will ask the emperor to grant us a marriage, okay?"
Yi Lin lowered his head even further and whispered, "I'll wait for you to come back."
The two grew up together and were very close.
Although there was no matchmaker agreement, the outside world had already accepted their marriage.
"It's just that I'm worried because you have to travel far away just after you come back.
You should have a good rest these days."
Yilin instructed.
Cheng Zheng objected and said, "I'm afraid I won't have time yet.
Deploy troops and discuss a safe route.
This trip is of great importance.
We must be prepared in case of any unexpected events."
"I just hope you can get there as soon as possible.
I'm just waiting for you and your sister to return safely."
Cheng Zheng returned to the study and read the secret letter carefully.
It recorded that Yilin's twin sister Yishan was found adopted in a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and had detailed routes, directions, and portals.
According to the midwife's recollection, because the queen gave birth to twin girls, she remembered it very clearly.
The princess who was born first had a round birthmark on her arm, while the princess who was born later had a cinnabar mole behind her ear.
Yishan disappeared at the border and was nowhere to be found.
For more than ten years, the emperor has been sending people to secretly search for her.
Unexpectedly, he found the princess in Jiangnan.
The top priority was to take the princess back to the palace to reunite with her relatives, which also solved the emperor's heartache for many years.
Why he disappeared back then and why he appeared in Jiangnan have still not been found out.
Therefore, we still have to act in secret here.
If the news is leaked, there will inevitably be some twists and turns.
Cheng Zheng ordered a team of troops to go ahead and lurk at some easy-to-attack passes to conduct reconnaissance.
If there was any situation when they returned, they could also respond.
On the eve of his departure, the emperor could not see Cheng Zheng off in person and only asked Yi Lin to say goodbye to him.
Yilin has a very good relationship with Cheng Zheng and everyone in the palace knows it.
It is not easy for her to come to talk to Cheng Zheng and arouse suspicion.
Yilin asked with concern, "Have everything been packed?"
Cheng Zheng replied casually, "You'll be back soon, there's no need to prepare anything more."
Yilin asked him about his plan, "How long do you expect the trip to be?"
Cheng Zheng thought for a while and replied, "When we went there, we were all soldiers.
They were used to marching on the road.
It only takes ten days.
When we return, I am afraid that the second princess will be tired and the journey will slow down.
It is estimated that it will take a month to go back and forth." " "Okay, when you come back, I will come to greet you personally."
Yilin couldn't help but feel sad as she said this.
She couldn't bear the separation, so she asked again, "I don't know the blessings or disasters of going here, so you must be careful in everything."
Cheng Zheng gave an easy-going smile and said, "Silly girl, why are you still crying?
You are the one who is going to take on the heavy responsibility of the country.

You have to be strong."
"People are worried about you, but you still laugh at me."
Yi Lin cried and laughed, reaching out and hitting Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng set out the next morning as soon as the sky cleared, and the journey was uneventful.
When they arrived at Qi Town in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to conceal their identity, Cheng Zheng ordered the others to stay dispersedly and lightly packed.
He only took one deputy general, Song Jinfeng, to search for him with his address.
This family was considered a big one in the town, so it didn't take much effort to find it.
The word "Min House" hangs high.
Jin Feng said, "That's it."
Jin Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door, knocking a few times, and soon a servant opened the door.
Jinfeng asked, "Is this Master Min Shangen's house?"
The servant looked at the two of them and replied, "Exactly, what do you two want?"
Jinfeng said kindly, "My young master came from the capital and has something important to discuss with your master.
Please pass the news on my behalf."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The servant closed the door and came back after a while, "You two gentlemen, please come in."
The servants led them to the front hall, and after a short rest, a rich middle-aged man came towards them, with a kind-hearted look on his face: "What does this young master do for you?"
Cheng Zheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Min, you are polite."
Then he whispered a few words to Master Min.
Master Min was surprised and said, "Master, please come in."
Master Min took Cheng Zheng to the study, and Cheng Zheng ordered Jinfeng to stay outside.
"Greetings, sir."
Mr.
Min saluted hurriedly.
He had been doing business in the south of the Yangtze River all his life, and he had never offended the powerful officials.
Unexpectedly, for some reason, someone came from the capital to look for him on the emperor's order.
Now he was completely helpless.
"There is no need to be polite, Mr.
Min.
I am here to take Princess Yishan back to the palace on the emperor's order.
This is the emperor's order."
Cheng Zheng said and took out a document.
"Princess Yishan" Mr.
Min took it in a panic.
Even if the handwriting was given to him, he couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
He only took a quick look and returned it to Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng said affirmatively, "Yes, I would like to ask if the master has ever adopted a woman with a cinnabar mole behind her left ear."
"I dare not lie to you, sir.
It is indeed true.
She is the daughter I adopted seventeen years ago, but I don't know how she could be Princess Yishan."
Mr.
Min said and was puzzled.
Cheng Zheng explained, "That's it.
Princess Yishan was kidnapped from the palace by gangsters seventeen years ago, and there has been no trace of her since.
In order to avoid rumors, the emperor blocked the news and ordered people to secretly investigate her."

Mr.
Min was very frightened, "My daughter is actually the princess of the current dynasty and I adopted the princess as my daughter.
Wouldn't the ordinary people be committing a crime of treason?"
Cheng Zheng said with relief, "Master Min, what are you talking about?
The princess is lucky enough to be adopted by the master so that she can have a place to live and live in peace.
If it weren't for the master, I'm afraid the princess would be in such a bad situation now.
The master is my hero for Dazhao." " Mr.
Min felt relieved a little, "My lord, I don't blame the common people at all.
It's just that the common people have really wronged the princess in their humble abode."
"Master, don't worry too much.
Although the master's house is not luxurious, it is not a poor family.
Since the master has adopted her as his daughter, how can he be wronged?
I wonder what opportunity the master had to adopt the princess back then."
Cheng Zheng wanted to understand the situation at that time.
Mr.
Min recalled it for a while and said, "That was seventeen years ago.
I went to the store in the town to take care of business in the early morning.
When I was passing by a trail, I heard a cry.
I went to see it was a person.
The baby is waiting to be fed, but there is no one around.
I had no choice but to take her home and feed her.
Later, I searched around and found out that there was no news about the baby girl’s parents.
Since there was no news about the baby girl’s parents, she was kept in my home.
My wife and I liked her very much. , so I decided to adopt her as my daughter.”
Cheng Zheng nodded, "I see.
Then Mr.
Min never knew the origin of the baby girl."
Mr.
Min analyzed, "This common man really didn't know that when he picked her up, there was nothing around him.
The baby was healthy and had no diseases.
At that time, he thought that it must be an illegitimate child from a wealthy family who was embarrassed, so he threw it away."
Cheng Zheng asked again, "I wonder if it would be convenient for the princess to meet you next time?"
"Of course."
Mr.
Min opened the door, "Ling'er, go and invite the young lady."
After hearing the response, he closed the door again.
"I don't know when you plan to leave for Beijing."
Cheng Zheng answered truthfully, "Tomorrow."
Mr.
Min couldn't help but be surprised, "It's such a rush tomorrow."
Cheng Zheng explained, "The reason for the princess's disappearance has not yet been found out.
The princess will be in more danger if she is out for a day.
It is better to leave as soon as possible.
Besides, the emperor misses the princess day and night, and looks forward to her early return."
Mr.

Min nodded and thought deeply, and then said, "In this case, the common people will not dare to stop you.
Your Excellency only brings one attendant here.
The princess has a distinguished status and may make mistakes on the way.
It is better for the common people to spend money to hire some people with martial arts skills on the way. escort" Cheng Zheng declined and said, "Thank you for your kindness.
I don't need to worry about this.
I have my own sense of discretion."
"That's great.
It's just that the little girl has been babbling and learning words in the homes of the common people, and the common people are very reluctant to leave her.
Alas, the princess has been arrogant since she was a child, and the common people have not taught her well.
I am afraid that the princess will be wronged if she is willful in the future."
Master Min said with tears.
Then tears welled up in his eyes and he quickly wiped them away.
Cheng Zhengxiao persuaded her with great righteousness, "The princess has been missing for many years.
Now that she has been found, it is my great joy.
Please don't be too sentimental, Mr.
Min."
Mr.
Min nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the common people have lost their composure."
"Dad, what do you want from me?"
A clear voice came from the door, tinkling as sweetly as jade jade colliding.
The door was pushed open, revealing a very familiar face.
It was exactly the same as Yilin's.
Although Cheng Zheng had already There were expectations, but there was still some shock. sjgsf0916:
