One morning a few days later, endless cavalry appeared outside the Yan army camp like a long dragon.

In the cavalry formation, a huge Yanrong Emperor flag stood facing the wind, and the gold-plated eagle pattern was soaring just in time for the crisp autumn air.

Guarding the center of the army were eight thousand elite cavalry, all wearing iron armor, holding spears, riding horses, and the sharp blades hanging from their waists were all of the highest quality.

The Divine Eagle Army was an elite force specially allocated to Mu Yun Duankang by Mu Yun Canglan before the expedition.

In more than half a year of fighting, the 10,000-strong Divine Eagle Army had lost about 2,000 people, and the remaining 8,000 people came out in full force this time.

At the same time, there were 12,000 cavalry, and all the leading generals were Mu Yun Duankang's confidants.

A total of 20,000 people were fully loaded, and they even assumed a posture of preparing for battle, which shows Mu Yunduankang's murderous intention.

In order to avoid being intercepted by the Xuanwu Army, their marching route deliberately bypassed the previous ambush site. In addition, there was a lot of baggage, so the journey took several days longer than usual.

Mu Yunduankang, who was sitting in the car, gently opened the car curtain, and the camp at the end of the road was already vaguely visible.

The autumn wind blew on his face, and Mu Yunduankang smiled slightly: "Brother, are you ready?"

…

As soon as Mu Yunhuan got up and finished breakfast, Tu Shanlin walked into the barracks with a black streak on his head and said:

"We were fooled. Tuoba Hong sent someone to deliver a message, asking us to go to the gate of the camp to greet the Crown Prince's carriage."

"Bang~"

The tea cup in Mu Yunhuan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and water splashed everywhere.

"Brother, you really came here in person~" Mu Yunhuan murmured with cold eyes.

"And he didn't come alone. He brought a total of 20,000 troops, including the Divine Eagle Army." Tu Danlin lowered his head and said.

Mu Yunhuan's breathing quickened involuntarily. Twenty thousand people, the meaning of this was self-evident.

In fact, he had a vague hunch before that Mu Yunduankang might come in person.

But I didn't expect that they would bring so many troops and make such a big fuss.

What is this, a warning to myself?

"Are we going to pick up the driver?" Tu Danlin asked hesitantly.

Mu Yunhuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"If you don't go, just say I'm sick."

I don’t dare to go, Mu Yunhuan really doesn’t dare to go. This is a kind of fear of the unknown. If I go to pick up a driver and I am detained by Mu Yunduankang, it will really be over.

Tu Danlin nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I won't go either. I'll just say there's urgent military affairs!"

"Time, I need time!" Mu Yunhuan muttered, squinting his eyes.

…

Mu Yunduankang's car stopped on a slope outside the camp gate, and Tuoba Hong was the only one who came to pick him up.

"Isn't my brother here?" Mu Yunduankang chuckled softly, without any dissatisfaction on his face.

"The Third Highness sent someone to report that he was ill and unable to come to greet him. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Tuoba Hong bowed and replied.

"Forgive me, haha~"

Mu Yunduankang stretched his waist casually: "Does he really still have me as the prince in his heart?"

Tuoba Hong's body trembled slightly, but he said nothing. This sentence was not something he should answer.

"Come on, General Tuoba, let's go to your handsome tent and have a good chat." Mu Yunduankang stepped forward:

"As for the third child, I'll go see him later~"

"Follow me~"

…

At dusk, Mu Yun Duankang grandly walked into Mu Yunhuan's residence, accompanied by two personal guards.

The moment he entered the camp, although all the soldiers were respectful to him, Mu Yunduankang still smelled the tension in the air.

He and Tuoba Hong chatted for a long time, including the discovery of the secret message, the conversation between the two to test each other, the movements of the troops stationed on both sides, etc.

Sure enough, Mu Yunhuan already knew that something was wrong, but Mu Yunduankang was sure that he did not understand the specific inside story, otherwise Mu Yunhuan would have run away long ago.

In such a strange atmosphere, Mu Yun Duankang arrived at Mu Yunhuan's military tent. When passing by the camp gate, he glanced at the Eagle Emperor flag with a thoughtful expression.

"Cough cough~ cough cough cough~"

As soon as Mu Yunduankang entered the barracks, he heard a violent cough. The pale-faced Mu Yunhuan was lying on the bed, looking very sick.

"Oh, third brother, how did you end up like this?"

Mu Yunduankang walked quickly to the bedside with concern on his face and pulled the corner of the quilt for him.

"Ahem, eldest brother. I'm sorry that my brother is weak and can't stand up to salute." Mu Yunhuan said tremblingly.

"We are all brothers, so we don't need these false gifts. Third brother's health is very important."

"Alas~"

Mu Yunhuan sighed: "Maybe it was because the heavy rain a few days ago was a bit heavy, and I got wind and cold for no reason. I couldn't even pick up my eldest brother when he entered the camp. My younger brother is so ashamed~"

"It's okay, it's okay. I came to Tianlang Pass this time on a whim. The main purpose was to inspect the frontline troops and boost their morale. I didn't inform you in advance. It's normal to be unprepared." Mu Yunduankang said with a smile.

"The eldest brother still knows how to use soldiers. The younger brother feels inferior."

Mu Yunhuan was dealing with it with his mouth, but in fact he was already scolding him in his heart. Only the devil can believe that you are here to inspect the frontline troops. Do you need to bring 20,000 people to inspect the military camp?

After the two chatted casually for a while, Mu Yunduankang said:

"Third brother, it seems that your health will not recover in two or three days. I still expect you to accompany my elder brother to inspect the military camp."

"My dear brother, you are so helpless~" Mu Yunhuan said with regret on his face: "This cold wind is really unlucky."

Mu Yunhuan had already made up his mind that he would not leave the barracks unless he could. Once he left the camp where his own soldiers were stationed, it was hard to predict what would happen.

"Forget it, you just have to bear the burden of being the eldest brother." Mu Yunduankang said with a smile:

"But in two days I will hold a banquet in the army to reward the frontline generals. Then my third brother will have to show up, right? We, the children of the royal family, must not let the soldiers' hearts go cold."

Mu Yunhuan's expression froze for a moment. This reason was high-sounding and not easy to evade. He asked you to go to the banquet instead of going to the battlefield.

"Of course, if third brother feels that he can't bear it, he doesn't have to go. His condition is too serious. Let's go back to the king's tent to recuperate first. Don't hold on. We will leave all the war ahead to the elder brother." Mu Yunduankang looked worried.

.

His words directly blocked Mu Yun's excuse for refusing. You are seriously ill, aren't you?

Okay, go back and recuperate. I'll take care of the military power for you first. Don't want it anymore.

Mu Yunhuan was hit hard. He was a mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis. But he still forced out a smile and said:

"Don't worry, brother! Third brother will definitely be there when we are introduced!"

"Okay, then you have a good rest, brother will leave first." Mu Yunduankang stood up contentedly.

"Congratulations, big brother~"

Seeing Mu Yun Duankang disappear into the tent, Mu Yunhuan's palms propped up on the bed slowly clenched into fists, the veins were exposed, and the violent coughing sound disappeared.

Tu Danlin suddenly walked out of the darkness and asked in a deep voice: "Are we really going?"

Tu Shanlin really listened to the conversation between the two of them just now. To describe Mu Yun Duankang as "a smile hiding a knife" is not an exaggeration.
