The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 395 Insist on seeing me

The wind from the border whistled past, carrying yellow sand and making people's cheeks hurt.

Chen Jingyuan's fingertips unconsciously stroked the dark patterns on his cloak, and he looked up at the towering military camp gate not far away.

The iron nails on the gate were like the bared fangs of a beast, and the hanging flag of the Xia Kingdom fluttered in the wind.

The flag has a black background with a golden dragon pattern, and the dragon pattern on it is faintly visible.

"Master, the Xia army camp is ahead." Yang Hui said in a low voice, his hand unconsciously pressing on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Chen Jingyuan nodded, his young face showing a determination that was inconsistent with his age.

He took a deep breath and walked forward.

The teenager was still thin, but he took every step with great determination.

"Stop! This is a military stronghold, no outsiders are allowed to enter!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out, and two armored soldiers holding spears blocked their way.

The sharp tip of the spear gleamed coldly in the setting sun, only an inch away from Chen Jingyuan's throat.

Chen Jingyuan immediately stopped and saluted: "Sir, I would like to see the commander of your army."

The leading soldier looked up and down at the two young men in front of him.

Although Chen Jingyuan's clothes were not luxurious, the material was the finest sky blue cloud-patterned brocade.

Although Yang Hui was dressed as a servant, the knife on his waist was by no means an ordinary item.

A trace of vigilance flashed in the soldier's eyes: "Who are you to our commander? Why do you want to see him?"

"I... don't know you, Commander-in-Chief." Chen Jingyuan hesitated, "But I have an important question for you."

"We're not acquainted, nor are we relatives. Leave immediately!" The soldier waved his hand impatiently. "The military camp is not a place for young men like you to come."

As he said this, the soldier reached out to push Chen Jingyuan.

Yang Hui was quick-witted and stepped forward to protect his master behind him. "Sir, please wait a minute. My master does have something important to attend to. I hope you will be accommodating."

"How dare you!" the soldier glared. "If you keep pestering me, don't blame us for being rude!"

Following this shout, more than ten soldiers immediately rushed out of the camp gate and surrounded the two men.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Chen Jingyuan's forehead.

He thought of his father's haggard face and his mother's red eyes from crying.

My sister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to war against the Kingdom of Li. As the supreme commander of the border of the Kingdom of Xia, there must be news about my sister here.

"No matter what, I must see the commander-in-chief today!" Chen Jingyuan's voice was extremely firm.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished!" the leading soldier shouted sternly, "These two people are suspicious. They must be spies from the enemy country. Capture them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers attacked Yang Hui and Chen Jingyuan.

"You dare!" Yang Hui shouted angrily, and his long sword was already unsheathed.

A cold light flashed, and the red tassel on the helmet of the soldier in front broke with a sound.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and the surrounding soldiers were immediately filled with murderous intent.

"Sure enough, he has evil intentions!"

"Capture them!" With shouts, more soldiers poured out of the camp.

"Yang Hui! Stop!" Chen Jingyuan stopped him sternly.

He recalled the time when his master taught him martial arts, when he was still very weak.

He couldn't resort to violence here. His master was the Crown Prince of Xia, and his sister was the Crown Prince's wife. He couldn't bring trouble to his sister.

“But Master…”

The veins on Yang Hui's hand holding the knife were bulging, and his eyes were full of struggle.

If you don't resist, you'll be thrown into jail. If you fight, your master will give you another order...

"Put down the knife!" Chen Jingyuan said emphatically, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, "This is an order!"

"Yes!" Yang Hui was very reluctant, but finally threw the knife to the ground with a clang.

The soldiers rushed forward and roughly tied up the two men.

The rope cut deeply into his flesh, but Chen Jingyuan didn't say a word.

"Take him to jail! Wait for the commander's decision!"

As he was pushed forward, Chen Jingyuan suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far away.

"Captain Hu, it's me..."

The man was wearing silver armor, and the sword at his waist was given to him by his sister.

Chen Jingyuan was about to shout loudly, but his mouth was stuffed with a piece of rag.

Hu Wei felt someone shouting, the voice was very familiar, but when he turned around, there was no one there.

When he arrived at the conference room, Chen Guangze and He Tian had already arrived.

After greeting each other, they sat down.

"Since the death of Commander Yin, the Wolie Army has stayed indoors and the border is temporarily safe, but as for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." Chen Guangze was a little worried.

Hu Wei stood up and said, "General, the overall strength of our officers and men has been greatly improved, and there is no fighting on the border. I would like to go to Li Country to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife!"

"I want to go too!" He Tian also stood up and bowed.

"Mr. Zhuge, what do you think?"

"General, today I received a pigeon message from Shopkeeper Chen of Xiejia Village. The message came from Qingnian Tower.

It is said that a red-robed peerless master is looking for Madam, and that he has ill intentions, so Madam needs to be warned about this matter."

Zhuge Quan pondered for a moment before speaking again, "The letter also mentioned that Mrs. Xie from Xiejia Village not only could walk without a crutch, but she could even speak suddenly.

This is a very strange thing, not something that ordinary people can do.

"Mrs. Xie is not a good person and has a grudge against Madam. And before this, someone saw Mrs. Xie meeting a red-robed man from afar!"

"General, please let us go. I'm afraid the prince and his wife are in danger." Hu Wei requested again.

"Report!" A soldier's voice came from outside the door: "General, we caught two spies who broke into the military camp today.

"What's going on?" Chen Guangze asked in a deep voice.

I was just planning to send troops to Li State for assistance, but I didn’t expect spies to appear now.

The soldier then told the commander-in-chief that the man had threatened to see him.

"Let's go and see who's so bold as to barge into the military camp!" Chen Guangze shouted angrily, "As for the matter of going to Li Country, we'll make a decision after we've dealt with this matter!"

In the dark and damp dungeon, Chen Jingyuan leaned against the cold stone wall.

Through the narrow air vent, he saw a crescent moon rising quietly.

"Master, it's all my fault for being incompetent..." Yang Hui blamed himself.

"I don't blame you." Chen Jingyuan shook his head: "We rushed into the military camp rashly, which was definitely a risk. It's a blessing that the Xia army didn't kill us on the spot.

If we can meet the military commander tomorrow, there might be a turning point, and perhaps we can find out where my sister is."

At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps and the collision of armor was heard outside the prison door.

Chen Jingyuan sat up straight abruptly.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping in front of their cell door.

"Open the door." A majestic voice sounded.

The prison door creaked open, and the bright light from the torch made Chen Jingyuan squint.

After he adjusted to the light, he saw a tall figure standing at the door, followed by a group of generals.

"I heard that you insisted on seeing me?" Chen Guangze asked in a deep voice.
