Feng Yunqing and his party were not attacked by killers, so the journey was peaceful.

It's just that they are safe, but their hearts are not peaceful. Along the way, they have encountered too many hungry people.

The drought ended this year, and many people rushed back to their hometowns before planting seeds, so they did not sow, and there was no food to harvest during the harvest season.

Nowadays, most people rely on hunting in the mountains to make a living.

Feng Yunqing helped whenever she could, exchanging food for the prey they caught.

He also opened grain shops in larger cities and sold grain at low prices.

This can solve some problems to some extent.

At the same time, Chu Yunjin also wrote what he saw and heard on the road on origami paper and reported it to Emperor Shunde.

When Emperor Shunde received the memorial, he was furious in the court. He rarely received memorials for such a serious issue.

What I received was handled lightly. This was obviously someone who was deceiving and not reporting the matter.

For this reason, Emperor Shunde confiscated a group of ministers. He was so angry that they dared to do this under his eyes. He directly exiled those people to the bitter cold area to let them experience the difficult days.

All the property obtained from ransacking homes was also distributed to people in remote areas who had no food to eat.

Emperor Shunde also sent a large number of imperial envoys to conduct on-site inspections and report to him the actual situation across the country.

Of course, after this incident, Emperor Shunde thought deeply. He felt that Chu Yunjin and Feng Yunqing were worthy of his trust and they were reliable.

If they have second thoughts, they will definitely sit back and ignore it.

A month later, Feng Yunqing and his party finally arrived in Mobei City.

The journey was very hard, so everyone rested here and prepared to rest for a few days before entering the desert.

They have to walk in the desert for more than ten days, so they must get enough rest to maintain their strength.

Chu Yunjin also went to see General Wang.

Although there was some discord with General Wang, the two did not break up after all. He also wanted to know about the situation of those private soldiers.

General Wang did not expect Chu Yunjin's sudden visit, so he came to see him in a hurry.

"The last general has met the general."

General Wang's rank is lower than that of Chu Yunjin, so he will naturally bow to him when he sees him.

"General Wang, there is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly. I am also passing by here, so I came to take a look."

"Oh, where is the general going on this trip?"

Why didn't he receive the message?

"Send Queen Beiming back to Beiming Kingdom on the order of the Emperor."

This matter is not a secret, and Chu Yunjin has nothing to say about it.

"Oh, how many days will the general stay in the city?"

"Stay for a few days. It's freezing cold and it's very difficult to walk. The soldiers are also working very hard."

"Then what does the general need to do?"

Chu Yunjin waved his hand: "No, the general is just here to take a look."

After all, he has been here for several years and still has feelings for him, so he came to see his former subordinates.

The 10,000 soldiers he used to command were also given to General Wang when General Wang took his place.

General Wang's eyes were a little evasive, and he said: "The general wants to see his old subordinates, so I will call them here and you can catch up on old times."

"No need, I will just go find them myself, general."

General Wang laughed dryly: "Haha, it's like this. Those soldiers have been reorganized by the general. If the general goes there by himself, he's afraid he won't be able to find them."

"That's it, then I'll trouble General Wang. I'll be waiting here."

Chu Yunjin still couldn't see that General Wang was a fool, so he just followed his wishes. “Okay, okay, then I’ll come as soon as I go.”

General Wang fled out of the camp, found his confidants, and whispered to him.

Then he walked back to his tent with a heavy heart, tapping his fingers on the table, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of ways to deal with it.

It turned out that he not only dispersed Chu Yunjin's 10,000 soldiers to other teams, but also took in the homeless private soldiers in the mountains for his use.

These soldiers were not organized, but became his private soldiers.

There were a lot of them, two to three thousand people. If Chu Yunjin discovered it and reported it to Emperor Shunde, he might not be able to save his head.

In fact, he has no rebellious intentions in raising these private soldiers, and he can't raise any soldiers at all.

He just thought that if one day he failed as a general, there would be someone to protect him and someone to do things for him.

And he didn't hide these private soldiers secretly. They placed them in this military camp. They were just organized into a small team.

The soldiers here thought they were regular soldiers here, but they didn't know that they were actually unorganized and were General Wang's private soldiers.

"General."

Soon someone was reporting outside.

"Come in."

Immediately a soldier came in, raised his hand to him and said: "General, what you ordered has been completed. The people from General Zhenbei have been sent, and the other people have also taken care of it."

General Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then go down and watch those people, don't let them come out and run around."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

The soldier immediately turned away.

General Wang stuttered with relief, then came out and walked towards Chu Yunjin's tent.

Chu Yunjin was talking to several of his former subordinates at the moment.

"How are you doing?"

Chu Yunjin asked them.

These captains of thousands, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds were all personally promoted by him in the past, and they were also loyal to him.

He couldn't worry about them either.

A commander raised his hand and said: "Come back to General, we are pretty average here. Life is naturally not as good as General's here."

After they were dispersed, most of them lost their original positions and were either demoted or reduced to ordinary soldiers.

Having to be ostracized by other soldiers also made life difficult.

But of course they would not explain this clearly to Chu Yunjin. After all, it was not Chu Yunjin who had the final word here, but General Wang.

And General Wang acted like this, obviously because he was afraid of them, so he scattered them.

Why should they tell Chu Yunjin?

So what? If you say you won't get preferential treatment, it will arouse General Wang's resentment and make the future life even more difficult.

Although they didn't say it clearly, Chu Yunjin understood, and he nodded: "As long as you are well, I am passing by here too. I just came to see you. Knowing that you are well now, I am relieved."

"That's fine, General."

A captain also asked.

Chu Yunjin: "This general is very good. My current position is much easier than before, and I feel more comfortable."

Several people looked envious after hearing this. They wanted to follow Chu Yunjin. If they followed him, they would have to leave the army, and they would have to report to General Wang for his approval before they could leave.

It's just ordinary people who left. They don't want to leave yet. They still have two or two months of silver every month, which is enough to support their families.
