Chapter 255: Chapter 253 Too Enthusiastic
As he guessed, when Lin Yi arrived at the gates of the Imperial Camp with his n and stated his purpose, the Guard General of the Imperial Camp imdiately ca out to greet them quickly.
Lin Yi was familiar with this man; he was the first to speak up about providing weapons for Lin Yi during the court session that day.
Because of this, Lin Yi had a fairly good impression of him.
Moreover, with Lin Yi’s discernnt, it was clear that this man was obviously not the type to collude with the Sixth Prince.
One could tell that he was a military man, an upright person.
Of course, although the man appeared upright, Lin Yi would not naively think so because, after all, you can know soone’s face, not their heart. No one really knows what the other person is truly thinking, especially since Lin Yi couldn’t read minds.
“Haha, General Zhao, it’s been a long ti.”
Seeing that the man personally ca out to et him, Lin Yi also dismounted from his carriage and gave a fist salute to the man inside.
“Hahaha, Eunuch Lin visiting is an honor I’ve lacked in welcoming. Please co inside quickly.”
As he spoke, he also gave Lin Yi a fist salute.
However, the way the man called him made Lin Yi sowhat helpless.
He wanted to argue, but the fact was just so, his identity was clear here, and the other person had no fault in addressing him this way.
The main point Lin Yi noticed was that the label was not ant to insult him.
Instead, it was spoken with a straightforwardness that revealed him to be a frank person.
Of course, another possibility could not be excluded — that the man was very cunning.
Either way, it was not Lin Yi’s purpose.
Lin Yi’s goal today was simply to retrieve the items; as long as he could move these weapons out of here, his objective would be achieved.
As for the title, well, call it whatever you like.
After all, just last night, he managed to kill two birds with one stone.
Thus, Lin Yi, without any hesitation, followed the man’s steps toward the depths of the camp.
But as his own soldiers were about to step into the camp,
suddenly two long spears crossed in front of everyone, stopped by the Guards.
This action made Lin Yi pause, and he turned to see his own guards being stopped outside by the soldiers.
Lin Yi’s guards, not to be outdone, reached for their waist knives.
Suddenly, the atmosphere beca very tense.
It seed that any slight misstep could make both parties start a fight.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown.
anwhile, General Zhao, seeing this, laughed it off and waved to his guards:
“Let them pass.”
After saying this, he stopped paying attention to those behind him and turned his gaze back to Lin Yi, speaking while moving forward:
“Haha, Eunuch Lin don’t mind it, this military camp is a sensitive area that doesn’t allow strangers to enter, especially not ard with Armor like this.
But Eunuch Lin is not a stranger, and since you’ve just joined the military, you might not understand the rules here. Today, I’ll make an exception for Eunuch Lin.”
Indeed, how could other people be allowed to enter a military camp with troops?
Moreover, truly, this was quite a respect shown to Lin Yi.
And after General Zhao gestured with a wave of his hand, those guards outside indeed withdrew their spears and stopped bothering the guards brought by Lin Yi.
“Hehe, just as General Zhao said, this official is also leading troops for the first ti, so there is much I am not aware of. Thank you, General Zhao, for your guidance, hehe.”
“Eh, Eunuch Lin, what are you talking about? I dare not take credit for offering guidance. Since it’s Eunuch Lin’s first ti leading troops, I suppose you’re not familiar with conducting training.
Co, co, co, let first take you to the drill ground to see how we train.”
Saying this, he didn’t even wait for Lin Yi’s agreent and directly pulled him towards the training grounds.
This move completely baffled Lin Yi, who couldn’t grasp what the other party’s intentions were for a mont.
Before coming, he had thought of various possibilities, but he had not anticipated the other party being so enthusiastic, even to the point of catching him off guard.
However, since the other party was so enthusiastic, he might as well take a close look at how they currently train the troops.
Thus, in the ti that followed, Lin Yi simply accompanied the other party around the military camp.
After this overview, Lin Yi had gained a fair understanding of the current thods of troop training.
Of course, by the ti they finished their tour, it was already noon.
General Zhao then pulled Lin Yi toward the central building of the camp.
After all, the Imperial Camp was stationed outside the Capital City all year round, so there was no need to go out to fight, and thus it was not made up of tents but permanent buildings.
Not only that, the construction of these houses was no small feat; though not luxurious, it was certainly far from rudintary.
At the very least, it looked much more upscale than many other mansions.
When Lin Yi followed into a large hall, he imdiately saw a large table filled with delicious dishes laid out.
As Lin Yi entered, he also heard General Zhao’s hearty laughter:
“Haha, Eunuch Lin arrived in a hurry, and the preparation was sowhat rushed, I hope Eunuch Lin does not mind.”
“Hehe, what are you saying, General Zhao?
With such a rich feast, how can it be called simple?
I’m not kidding, it’s much better than what I usually eat.”
While they talked, both of them also took their seats.
In the following ti, the other party continually introduced various dishes to Lin Yi and even personally opened a jug of wine.
After all, in this era, there was no prohibition against drinking for soldiers.
Yet, this scene made Lin Yi inwardly mutter, wondering if the other party wanted to play tai chi with him.
Could it be that he doesn’t want to hand over the weapons to him?
Is that why he’s employing such tactics?
Regardless, the other party was indeed too enthusiastic today, so much so that Lin Yi felt sowhat at a loss.
Thinking this, Lin Yi decided not to beat around the bush anymore. After downing a cup of wine, he went straight to the point.
Gently placing the wine cup down and smacking his lips, he then directed his gaze towards the other party:
“I am truly thankful for General Zhao’s warm hospitality today.
To be frank, Lin Yi’s visit today,”
