As mentioned before, Ye Wan grew up in the palm of his hand. Not only did the Duke's government manipulate him, but because of Mrs. Yin, the Yin family also loved him very much. The Yin family was founded in Yunrong, but because of the two families

We are in-laws and we often visit each other.

One year, when Ye Wang visited Yunrong Yin's family, he brought back a falcon with a white nape and a light brown head. This falcon was strong and mighty, alert and ferocious in temperament. It was originally the falcon king of the Yin family's falcon garden.

.

Beizhao was a martial artist and the ferocious hunting falcons were very popular among the powerful families. The place where hunting falcons were abundant was in Weizhou, and most of the falcons in the Yin Family Falcon Garden came from Weizhou.

The hunting falcon that Ye Wan brought back was even more special. It was hunted by Ye Wan's eldest cousin in person on the grassland at the junction of Weizhou and Xihuang. This hunting falcon was originally a pair of brothers, one of which was killed by Ye Wan.

My cousin brought Yun Rong back to be tamed, but the remaining one was said to have been sent to the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate.

These are what Ye Wan said when he brought the hunting falcon in front of him to show off. Ye Yunting had already forgotten about this, but when he saw Ye Wan, he suddenly recalled it.

Nowadays, the checkpoints in various states are heavily guarded, making it difficult to pass. But no one will come to check this falcon.

He still remembered that Ye Wan once showed off to him. When he asked for this hunting falcon, his eldest cousin was very reluctant to give it up, because this falcon king was not only a powerful hunter, but it could also travel between Weizhou and Yunrong alone, often together.

I went to Weizhou for only a month or two, and stayed with my brother in the northern Xinjiang Protector's Mansion, eating and drinking. When I had enough, I returned to Yunrong.

However, Ye Wan later brought the Falcon back to Shangjing and carefully raised it in his mansion, never letting it go out alone again.

Ye Yunting considered the possibility of letting a hunting falcon deliver the message.

Yunrong belongs to Jizhou, and the west of Jizhou is close to Weizhou. The two places are not far apart. If you use human power and take the official road and fast horse, you can reach it in half a month. If you use a hunting falcon, you should be able to reach it in seven or eight days at most.

But there was no guarantee that the falcon could accurately deliver the secret message to Zhu Wen.

Ye Yunting's mind wandered a few times, and when he looked at Ye Wan again, his expression became softer. He raised his hand to pick up the teapot on the small table, poured two cups of hot tea, placed one cup in front of Ye Wan, and held the other cup himself.

Take a slow sip.

Ye Wan glanced at the tea in front of him and moved uncomfortably.

This is the first time that the two brothers sit together and drink tea calmly. In the past, he would come to the door arrogantly to make trouble every time. Ye Yunting usually let him finish the trouble, and then saw off the guests in a good manner. His temper.

Just like a clay figure, it seems that no matter what he does, he can't make any waves in the other person's heart. In the end, he will say harsh words and leave angrily.

It's rare to see such a respectful relationship between brothers and sisters.

Second Young Master Ye was a little unaccustomed to it, and also a little... flattered.

But he didn't show it at all on his face. He picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. He raised his chin and said proudly: "Did King Yong'an bully you? Why didn't you go home when you returned from Sanchao?"

"Your Majesty treats me very well." Ye Yunting put down the tea cup and said softly: "As for returning home after three dynasties, the Prince and I are both men. We have not followed the old rules of marriage between men and women. In addition, I occasionally feel cold, so I'm afraid it will be bad when I go back.

I didn't go back because I wanted to make my parents worried."

His face is three cents whiter than snow, and he has lost his appetite for taking medicine these days. He is even thinner than when he was at the Duke's Mansion. These words are quite convincing.

Ye Wan had no doubt at all.

"Then when will you come back?"

Ye Yunting smiled: "At least we have to wait until the illness is cured."

Ye Wan frowned and was barely satisfied with the answer: "Then you can find a time to come back after you recover. Your father and mother miss you very much." After saying that, he moved again, as if there was a thorn in his buttocks.

"Okay." Ye Yunting agreed, feeling that the time was almost up, and gave him another cup of tea before getting to the point: "By the way, is your hunting falcon still kept in the house?"

Ye Wan said "yes", the hunting falcon was his beloved, and he specially borrowed two servants from the Yin family who were proficient in raising falcons to take care of it.

"Why do you suddenly ask about it?" Ye Wan looked at Ye Yunting doubtfully, and saw him lowering his eyes with an embarrassed look. Suddenly, his heart was filled with happiness, and he said proudly, "Have you fallen in love with my falcon?"

He was more enlightened than Ye Yunting thought. Ye Yunting naturally responded when he heard the words: "Well, I read some books while I was recovering from illness, and suddenly I wanted to try to tame a falcon."

"I can lend you money to support him." Ye Wan looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "But you have to give me something in exchange."

"What?"

Ye Wan pointed to a jade pendant on his waist: "This, I want this jade pendant."

Ye Yunting lowered his head and looked at his waist. There was only a worthless gourd jade pendant hanging there. This jade pendant was a birthday gift bought by the wet nurse for him and Ji Lian when they were still alive. It was not good jade, and the carving work was ordinary. That is,

Tu Ge Gourd means "Fu Lu". He and Ji Lian are one person. It's nothing special, and it's not worth a few coins.

"Are you sure you want this?" Ye Yunting frowned, unsure of his brother's intentions.

"I don't want your piece." Ye Wan rolled his eyes and said, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like, so doesn't your bookboy also have a piece? Just give him his piece to me."

Ye Yunting became more and more confused about the reason, but this jade pendant was a gift from the nanny. His was given to Ye Wanbin, but Ji Lian's was not.

He shook his head, smiled and took off the jade pendant from his waist: "The two jade pendants are exactly the same. If you like it, I'll give you mine." After saying that, he handed the untied jade pendant to Ye Wan.

"..." Ye Wan stared and became angry without warning: "I want his piece, it's different!"

"What's the difference?" Ye Yunting asked.

"It's just different anyway!" Ye Wan's expression became more and more angry. He glared at Ye Yunting angrily, but he couldn't tell what was different. In the end, he could only reach out and grab the jade pendant and stuff it into his arms: "That's it, I don't

I'll argue with you. I'll send you the falcon later!"

After saying this, he glared at Ye Yunting with an expression like "Go away quickly, I don't want to see you."

Ye Yunting didn't understand why he got angry again, but Ye Wan's temperament was always unstable, and his temper came at any time. Since he had agreed to send the falcon, he didn't want to cause any more conflicts, so he said "Thank you": "

Then I will go back home first."

Ye Wan saw him lift up the curtain of the carriage and got out of the carriage calmly.

Ji Lian, who was waiting outside, went over to hold his arm, and the master and servant entered the palace through a side door.

Ye Wan suddenly became even more angry, threw down the curtain of the carriage, and shouted: "Go home, go home!"

Ye Yunting was supported by Ji Lian and walked to the main courtyard. The two guards finally felt relieved when they saw that his illness did not appear to be a fake and that he was calm and composed from beginning to end.

The master and the servant waited until they entered the house. Only then did Ye Yunting put away his weakness and sickness, told Ji Lian to close the door, and quickly walked into the inner room.

In the room, Li Fengqi was studying a book on medical skills when he saw him blowing in front of him like a gust of wind, his eyes shining with excitement: "I have a way to send a message to Northern Xinjiang."

Under Li Fengqi's gaze, he explained the relationship between the Falcon and Northern Xinjiang: "There is just no guarantee that it will be delivered to the deputy governor's hands accurately."

"It can be delivered." Li Fengqi narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers on the page: "If my guess is correct, the other falcon is raised by Zhu Wen."

Weizhou is rich in hunting falcons, and the Northern Xinjiang Protectorate is located in Weizhou, so naturally there are many hunting falcons.

Although he had no spare time, Zhu Wen loved to tame falcons and showed off his very brave falcon in front of him many times.

"That's easy." Ye Yunting smiled, and then became a little troubled: "The letter can be sent by a falcon, but just in case, the secret letter cannot be written too clearly. I have read some encrypted information in books.

But the deputy governor may not be able to figure it out..."

He frowned in deep thought, his expression very solemn.

Li Fengqi glanced at him, then glanced at him again, and saw that he had brought a pen and paper to try to write out the secret words, and then he said, "Zhu Wen and I have our own set of secret words for communication that others cannot understand."

After saying that, he took the pen from his hand and wrote in the blank space of the page: "There are many confidential matters in the army, and there is a risk of interception and leakage of letters. Therefore, before leading the troops out, they will agree on a set of secret words for communication."

As he spoke, he wrote a song called "Walking in the Army" in the margins of the page.

The beacon light shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy in my heart.

Yazhang bid farewell to Fengque, and the iron cavalry circled Dragon City.

The snow is dark, the flag paintings are withered, and the wind is heavy with the sound of drums.

It is better to be a centurion than a scholar.

Ye Yunting didn't understand what it meant: "How to explain this?"

"This is the key I agreed on before I came to Beijing." Li Fengqi put down his pen and pointed at the poem: "General Xuanjia Army has another forty military affairs in his hands, each of which can correspond to one word of this poem."

Ye Yunting heard this and said knowingly: "In that case, the secret letter will be handed over to the prince." After saying this, he looked like he was avoiding suspicion, took a step back, lowered his eyes and stopped looking.

However, Li Fengqi raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "You don't want to know?"

Ye Yunting refused to be fooled and lowered his eyebrows: "It is a military secret, so naturally it cannot be leaked to outsiders."

"You are not an outsider." Li Fengqi smiled very lightly and quickly, then stopped his smile and waved to him: "Come here, I will tell you."

Ye Yunting raised his head in surprise and saw that he had a serious look on his face. He took a sip of spring and couldn't help but moved forward out of curiosity, sitting by the bed and listening to his details.

The military has always used the word test method for communication, and he has some understanding of this. However, these are only what he read in books and have never been used in practice.

"There are forty items of military affairs. The first is to ask for bows, the second is to ask for arrows, the third is to ask for swords... The eighteenth is to stand firm... The thirty-nine is to be sick, and the fortieth is to win a small victory." Li Fengqi lowered his eyes,

Every time he said one item, he added another item on the page. His handwriting was as small as a fly's head, but it still maintained its vitality.

"Each of these items corresponds to a word in the poem in order." Li Fengqi circled the words "around" and "wei" in the poem.

"Do you understand?" He raised his head and looked at Ye Yunting, his phoenix eyes were deep and calm. Even if he was bedridden, he was still the King of Yong'an who was strategizing and winning the battle thousands of miles away.

Ye Yunting followed the forty items of military affairs he wrote and corresponded them one by one: the eighteenth day said to hold firm; the thirty-second day said to be surrounded by thieves.
