Deputy General Yin was stunned and asked in disbelief, “Why? General, did 1 not do well enough? Don’t worry, I’ll find the mastermind as soon as possible! ”
Ming Zhiyan shook his head and said, “It’s not your problem. Although this matter is important, it’s not that important. 1 plan to let Vice General Zhong handle it. The most important thing now is to get out of this miasma forest safely. Therefore, I need your protection.”
Hearing this, Vice General Yin’s mouth almost reached the back of his ear. So he had such a high position in the general’s heart, even more so than Vice General Zhong. He actually gave him the most important thing to do.
“General,” he said proudly. “Actually, I can do both of them well. It’s my honor to work for you. Why don’t we not trouble Vice General Zhong?”
Vice General Yin thought to himself that if he could do both things well, his position in the general’s heart would definitely be even greater. At that time, he would be the most popular person in front of the general.
Ming Zhiyan shook his head and refused.
Vice General Yin nodded regretfully. “Alright then, General. I will definitely do
what you asked me to do. With me here, the 80,000 soldiers will definitely walk out of this miasma forest safely. Not a single one will be missing!’
Looking at Vice General Yin’s valiant back, Ming Zhiyan shook his head. He had handed this matter to Vice General Zhong from the beginning. He had asked Vice General Yin to search with great fanfare to alert the enemy. Vice General Yin did not know who the mastermind was, so he would not reveal any flaws.
The mastermind would only reveal his flaws in such a hurry.
After a while, Vice General Zhong arrived and said respectfully, “General, ever since Vice General Yin started his search, General Song has been following him secretly. He didn’t see anyone and then returned to his tent. Where do you think he could have hidden it? Could it be that he still carried it with him? In that case, we can search him directly.”
Ming Zhiyan frowned and asked, “Is there anything wrong?”
“No, you didn’t let me follow him too closely, so I don’t know what he’s doing in the tent.” Vice General Zhong shook his head.
Ming Zhiyan thought for a while before saying, “Let’s continue observing.
Don’t act rashly.”
On the way back, Vice General Yin ran into General Song.
“Vice General Yin, have you returned from meeting the general?”
Deputy General Yin nodded. “Yes, it’s all because of today’s matter. We didn’t find anything. So, we went to ask for forgiveness from the General!”
“How’s the situation?” Asked General Song with concern. “Was he reprimanded by the general?”
Vice General Yin shook his head. “Not really. It’s just that the General didn’t want me to investigate this matter. Maybe he also thinks that what happened this morning was just a coincidence.”
For some reason, Vice General Yin hid the fact that the General had given the task to Vice General Zhong and added the last sentence.
General Song smiled. “Don’t worry. The General still thinks highly of you. Maybe what happened this morning was just a coincidence.”
Deputy General Yin nodded absent-mindedly. He suddenly remembered something. In the past, he and General Song were only acquaintances. They were not very close. In the past, he did not like General Song. He felt that he had a sense of arrogance. His family was also officials and had read a lot.
Some of them looked down on real martial artists like them in their hearts. When they saw them, they also held their heads high.. Why was he so warm-hearted today?
