After the meeting, Tang Yin wanted to leave with the others, but was stopped by Wu Mei and Wu Ying.
I don't know what's going on, Tang Yin is full of strangeness, he sat on the chair and didn't move, he didn't leave, Qiu Zhen couldn't leave, so he could only stay and wait for him.
After everyone else left, Wu Mei spoke: "Tang Yin, this time I want to give your corps a task. ” "What task," he asked curiously.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's important and it's a big task."
Wu Mei knocked on her forehead, pondered for a moment, and said: "We have been at war with Ning for several months, and the Mozambican country is ready to move against me, and the war may break out at any time, and the imperial court does not want to see a large-scale war between the vassal states, so this time the imperial court sent someone down to mediate, and the task of your corps is to go to the border of Feng and Mo and escort her safely to the capital Yancheng." ” "Who is she?"
"Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess of the Empire."
"It's a woman," Tang Yin said strangely.
"If you're a princess, can you still be a man?"
As Wu Mei said, once there is a war between the nine vassal states in the Haotian Empire, the imperial court has the responsibility to mediate and stop the war.
Originally, since the imperial court came forward, the vassal states should abide by the holy edict and stop fighting, but the imperial power of the empire has become weaker and weaker, and the vassal states do not obey the emperor's command at all, and the emperor's holy decree is like nothing to the kings.
The Wind Country is a big war, almost every year, to feed the war, the imperial court sent the Wind Country the most times, but every time the Wind Country has not obeyed the holy decree, and it is also full of coping with its mediation.
And this time, the Wind Country attaches great importance to the mediation of the royal family, mainly because the current situation of the Wind Country is not optimistic.
The army of Ningguo pressed the border, stationed troops outside Tongmen, and the army of Mozambique was also assembled on the border of Fengmo, and there was the possibility of a large-scale attack at any time, and the army of Fengguo had just lost 200,000 troops, and the troops were insufficient.
If the imperial court can successfully mediate and stop the war, it will undoubtedly be the most beneficial to the Wind Country, and it can also take the opportunity to relieve this breath.
This time, the imperial court sent Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Yin Rou, which not only has the intention of mediation, but also has the heart of reinvigorating the majesty of the royal family.
Yin Rou's first envoy was Mo Guo, I don't know if it was because of her relationship, Mo Guo really didn't immediately move troops against Feng Guo.
Next, Yin Rou went north to the Wind Country, and then went west to the Ning Kingdom.
No matter how weak the imperial power of the empire is, Yin Rou is the eldest princess after all, she is a royal family, and when she enters the territory of the Wind Country, the Wind Country must ensure her safety, and it is because of this that the Wind King Court decided to send a corps to escort her.
Above the royal court, Wu Yu and Liang Xing had a good verbal battle to win the task of escorting the princess, and then discussed with the two sisters of Wu Mei and Wu Ying, and decided to send Tang Yin's second corps to go, which is also to increase the merits for Tang Yin, in order to prepare for future promotion.
"Is it necessary to send a corps to protect only one person" Tang Yin was incomprehensible.
"When the princess travels, how can she be alone, and there are a large number of palace maids and palace guards by her side."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "But no matter what, Her Royal Highness the princess is a daughter, and there can be no loss in my Wind Country, and dispatching a corps is to show the importance of my Wind Country, and it can also reflect the military strength of my Wind Country."
In short, the task is very easy, you just need to protect Her Royal Highness the princess, but if the princess has an accident, you can't save your ten heads, and it will affect the entire dancer, so this task is also very important, Tang Yin, do you understand?"
"Okay, got it."
Tang Yin asked, "When will you leave?"
"From the capital to the border, even if you march quickly, it will take six or seven days, and the day after tomorrow you will have to take the corps to set off."
Mai Ying said.
"No problem."
Tang Yin agreed simply.
Tang Yin likes this mission a lot, he is the prodigal son Xi's surname, he has lived in Yancheng for a long time, and the novelty at the beginning has long disappeared, so he should be distracted when he goes to the border to do an escort mission this time.
"Okay, you go back and get ready."
"Farewell" Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen returned to their residences.
On the way, Qiu Zhenxi smiled and said: "Brother Tang, this mission is a beautiful difference, it seems that the dance minister has the intention of promoting you."
Tang Yin raised his head and said, "I am now the commander of the corps, and if I am promoted, what position can I do?"
Qiu Zhen thought for a while, lowered his voice, and said: "Now that the Liang family is bigger, if you can't get the dancer to expand the corps under his command, it is not impossible to let Brother Tang take charge of two or three corps." ” "Hehe" Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I'm not interested in this kind of false speculation. ” He didn't take this mission too seriously, but Qiu Zhen was concerned, and his brain began to fly, thinking about how to make Tang Yin perfect and beautiful in his mission.
There was nothing to do for two days, and when it was time to set off, Tang Yin got up early and went to the barracks with Qiu Zhen.
Not long after he arrived at the barracks, Wu Mei also rushed to see him off, and after seeing Tang Yin, she repeatedly reminded him not to take it lightly and to ensure the safety of the princess.
Tang Yin agreed, as for whether he listened to it or not, only he understood it in his heart.
The Second Corps was different from the other corps in that the soldiers were not mere melee infantry, but all of their soldiers carried bows and arrows on their backs, with knives on one side and quivers on the other, and spears in one hand and shields in their hands.
It looks a bit nondescript, and it is impossible to tell whether it is an archer or a melee spearman or a simple soldier.
But with such equipment, the weight was more than twice that of the usual soldiers, but not a single person in the whole regiment complained of being tired, because they had been practicing in this way since they joined the Second Corps, and the weight of their usual training was much heavier than this.
Although the soldiers are physically strong, the whole team does not look neat, the personnel are sparse, the front wave, the back wave, the left group, the right group, 10,000 soldiers, the team is two miles long.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen rode high-headed horses and walked to the front of the team.
The corps went out of the boundary of Yancheng and headed south, along the way, it was also scattered, but fortunately, the speed of the march was not slow and would not delay the trip.
In the evening of the same day, the team entered Wancheng.

The city lord of Wancheng had already received the news and personally took the officials of Wancheng out of the city to greet him.
The city lord is a local official with a smaller position, and he is half a level different from the commander of the corps, not to mention that Tang Yin is well known to be taken care of by the dancers, where does the city lord of Wancheng dare to slack off.
Let the corps be stationed outside the city, and Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen entered Wancheng with more than a dozen personal soldiers.
The city lord of Wancheng is named Li Xian, his attitude is polite and humble, he first invited Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen to the city lord's mansion for dinner, and then he wanted to leave the two of them to stay in the mansion.
Tang Yin meandered and refused, and lived with Qiu Zhen in the city's hotel.
There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as it was dawn on the second day, Tang Yin led the corps to start marching towards the border again.
On the way, they passed through Textile City, Closed City, Jiancheng and other places, and finally arrived at Chongcheng.
Chongcheng is located near the border between the two countries, and thirty miles to the south is the Baguan of the Wind Country.
Baguan is a border fortress, similar to Tongmen, but the terrain is not as dangerous as Tongmen, Baguan is the terroir to the north, and the south is the Mo realm.
Tang Yin's destination is also Baguan.
Don't look at the scattered Second Corps, but the marching speed is really fast, and the original journey of six or seven days, they didn't take five days to arrive.
Along the way, it can be said that the wind and waves are calm, and no accidents have occurred, of course, this is also understandable, although the territory of the Wind Country has been dominated by bandits recently, but no bandit gang has dared to provoke a legion, unless they themselves don't want to live.
On the way, only in Wancheng, Qiu Zhen lived with Tang Yin in the hotel, and in the future, in other cities passing by, Qiu Zhen lived in the city lord's mansion, no matter whether the city lord of his city sent an invitation or not, he would be cheeky to live, Tang Yin didn't understand why he was, the conditions of the hotel were simpler, but it didn't reach the level where people couldn't stay.
He had asked Qiu Zhen twice, but the latter was smiling and silent, and he didn't want to say it himself, so Tang Yin stopped asking and went with him.
When he arrived at Chongcheng, it was just noon, Tang Yin wanted to go directly through the city and go straight to Baguan, after all, there was only more than thirty miles left, and he could arrive before evening, so there was no need to delay here.
But Qiu Zhen insisted on settling in the city.
Tang Yin was puzzled and asked him why, Qiu Zhen said: "It's useless for us to go early, we have to wait when we get to Baguan, and there is a border stop, the conditions are naturally not as good as Chongcheng, the brothers below have been on the road for several days, they are tired and tired, so let's rest in Chongcheng for a day."
Never knowing that Qiu Zhen was still a general who would think about the soldiers, Tang Yin couldn't help but smile and asked, "Qiu Zhen, what the hell are you doing?"
Qiu Zhen smiled mysteriously and said, "It won't be long before Brother Tang will know." ” Tang Yin shook his head helplessly, but he still listened to Qiu Zhen's opinion and ordered the team to be stationed in Chongcheng.
The city lord of Chongcheng personally entertained the two of them, and when he stayed, Qiu Zhen lived in the city lord's mansion as before.
The next day.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen set off and headed for Baguan.
Baguan can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized fortress, not as large as the northern barracks on the edge of Yancheng, even in wartime, it can accommodate a maximum of 30,000 or 40,000 people.
The city walls on all sides are not high, and they are not strong, there are many places that are in disrepair, and they look a little down, and the city defense facilities inside are quite complete, but the number is too small, after Tang Yin entered the fortress, he felt that there was a world of difference between this and Tongmen, and it can also be seen that even if the two countries were at odds, there were not many wars between them.
The main general of Baguan is named Yingbu, a young general in his thirties, with a thin figure, dark and rough skin, a mustache on his lips, his eyes and bones are rolling around when he looks at people, and the armor on his body seems to have not been cleaned and wiped for several months, sticky with dust, and even rust in some places.
