Two or three heaters were set up in Chenyue's bedroom. The flames were jumping and the heat was rising up, making the whole room warm.
In addition to the heater, there are several braziers placed in the corners of the room, and the charcoal inside is burning red.
"One~"
"Two~"
"Three~"
"Huh~"
…
Prince Liang of the North was leaning on a cane, moving forward step by step, walking along the bed to the head of the bed, turning back, and then walking back.
In just a few short steps, Chen Yue had to rely on crutches and use all his strength to take steps.
There was also Chu Yucheng in the room. Chu Yucheng was telling Chenyue one by one about the big and small things that had happened in Liangdi recently, no matter how big or small, and no one was left out.

Mainly due to the changes in the military and officialdom, there have been no situations beyond their control so far, including the provisions and grass stockpiled by the Armaments Department, and the latest figures for military pay.
When Chen Yue heard that Xue Meng had chopped off the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict with a knife, he couldn't help but smile. This rough guy was really reckless~
…
"Huh~ I'm so tired~"
Chen Yue smiled bitterly and sat on the edge of the bed with a cane. He was sweating profusely and couldn't walk anymore.
Looking at the heater in the house and the cane in his hand, Chen Yue felt helpless. He didn't look like a soldier at all. He looked like a decrepit old man. When he was in the army, he looked down on these things the most.
Damn, I think heaters are only for women.
Chenyue poked the heater with his crutch and said:
"I asked, can you remove one? There are three stoves and two braziers in the palm-sized room. They want to heat me to death, right?"
As he spoke, sweat slid down Chen Yue's cheeks.
It's really too hot.

"Don't think about it, no."
Chu Yucheng, who was only wearing a thin gown, shook his head:
"Without Mr. Li's instructions, no one dares to withdraw. And not only that, the prince cannot step out of this room without permission."
Now the most powerful person in the entire palace is not Chen Yue, but Li Zhen, who is responsible for Chen Yue's health.
Li Zhen said that Chen Yue could do what he could do, including when to rest and when to eat. He planned everything in detail.
Although Chenyue was full of helplessness, his body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the past two days, he was able to get out of bed and walk on his own.
Chen Yue sat motionless by the bed, listening to Chu Yucheng's continuous reports on various matters.
After a long silence, Chen Yue suddenly interrupted Chu Yucheng and said:
"How is that patrol battalion deputy commander Hou Ling doing?"
Chu Yucheng was stunned for a moment, how could Chen Yue mention this person so well?

Nowadays, the name Hou Ling is considered taboo in the military. Although his official position is not very high, he is already a solid military general with real power, and he is still the kind of iron-blooded soldier who fought side by side with Chen Yue.
It can be said that Bihou Ling in the army represents the best group of middle-level officers in the army.
Even this kind of people would betray, and many people began to have doubts about the refugees who joined the army. Could it be that Longxi An stepped in through the gap of yourselves? Could you stab them in the back one day?
Even though the military commanders tried their best to appease their soldiers, this incident had a big impact on the morale of the army.
Chu Yucheng said silently: "Li Jing, the commander of the patrol camp, went to find him personally. The man committed suicide the next day after the incident."
"The frontier army is our backbone~" Chen Yue sighed softly and said: "This Hou Ling is a good man. I remember that his performance on the battlefield is no worse than our soldiers in Liangdi."
Even though this Hou Ling almost caused the palace to be breached by thieves, he still gave an objective evaluation.
Chu Yucheng folded the memorial in his hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, if I'm to be honest, this Hou Ling is also a pitiful person."
"Oh? Why?" Chen Yue asked curiously.
Chu Yucheng explained in a matter-of-fact manner:

"Li Jing led his troops out of the city early that night, which means that the patrol battalion in the city actually obeyed his orders.
If I were Hou Ling, even if I didn't lead an army to attack the palace, I could still cut off the traffic between the big mansions, right? If I were more ruthless, I could set fire to the whole city, create chaos, and then seal the city gates so that reinforcements from outside the city could be obtained.
A letter asking for help came into the city.
But Hou Ling didn't do this. He just got a few captains who were leading the troops on duty at night drunk. He didn't even give poison, but drugged them. Obviously he didn't want these comrades to die.
In my opinion, this Hou Ling was probably coerced by Longxi and had to do something, but he didn't want to do anything too extreme, so he only did this.
From the bottom of his heart, he probably doesn’t want anything to happen to the prince.”
Chen Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded after thinking for a moment.
He felt that Chu Yucheng was right. Hou Ling's ability to climb to his current position was definitely Longxi's trump card in the Beiliang military.
However, in the entire process of the Liangzhou Incident, Hou Ling's role seemed not that great, at least not consistent with his status.
Perhaps as Chu Yucheng speculated, Hou Ling had no choice but to do this.
In fact, Chu Yucheng's guess was very accurate this time. Hou Ling hesitated for a long time after receiving the order from Longxi, and finally did it, but he had a backup plan and did not let the soldiers of the patrol camp block the city gate and suppress the news.

He didn't want to see Chenyue's family die because of him.
The words he said before committing suicide are still in Li Jing's mind:
"Brother, I will be a frontier soldier again in my next life!"
The two were silent for a long time. Chen Yue stretched out his hands and rubbed his face before returning to his normal expression and said:
"No matter what, the military will never allow something like this to happen again. You must investigate and investigate carefully."
"Don't worry, I will do this even if the prince doesn't say it." Chu Yucheng said with a chuckle:
"These days, I have sent people to secretly investigate in the army, especially those refugees who have joined the army from the Central Plains. Now I have arrested nearly a hundred people, most of whom are just ordinary soldiers.
I think the army should have been cleaned up."
"Well, that's good~" Chen Yue nodded: "What about the blood drops? There has been no movement in the past two months?"
Chu Yucheng spread his hands and said:

"In order to attack the palace, Blood Drop sent out thousands of people. I guess they transferred all the families from Liaodong and Beiliang.
After the battle, there is no news about the blood droplet in Liangdi, and he is probably dead."
"That's good~" Chen Yue said with a somewhat cold gaze: "The war is about to begin, and there must be no more internal problems.
Have all the secret messages sent to various states and counties been delivered?"
"Delivered." Chu Yucheng nodded and said:
"It's all 800 miles away. Shuozhou and Youzhou are very close. It's estimated that all the military leaders have already set off. The people in Liaodong will have to wait a few days at night."
Chenyue nodded slightly and said attentively:
"Old thief Yuwen, we will meet again one day!"
