Chapter 570 Sand Table
When Ye Qing'an returned to his tent, he saw a small sand table on a low table in the tent, with various flags stuck on it.
Ye Qing'an walked over, circled the sand table twice, and then raised her head, her eyebrows furrowed: "Where did this sand table come from?"
"It was sent by someone from Grand Tutor Liu."
Liu Enze?
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows. Why would Liu Enze suddenly send someone to deliver something like this?
Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered what Yi Moxu had said before: Liu Enze's five senses and six perceptions were very sharp. Could it be that he had sensed her desire to go to the battlefield?
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly. If that were the case, then Liu Enze's keen insight was perhaps a little too terrifying.
"Why did Grand Tutor Liu send this over?"
"Mr. Liu sent someone to say that it was boring in the camp and he was afraid that Miss would find it boring, so he specially sent someone to deliver this. Miss can use it as a pastime when she has nothing to do."
"Using a sand table as a pastime?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, looking completely bewildered. "How can a sand table be used as a pastime?"
"The person Mr. Liu sent to deliver the sand table said that Miss could simulate two armies facing off, arrange tactics and formations, and engage in battle. The person also said that Miss could also go to Mr. Liu to play chess."
"The man said that there was nothing else to do in the camp, and that the young lady could use this to pass the time."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Passing the time?"
But why did she always feel that Liu Enze wanted to express more than just that?
Ye Qing'an picked up a red chess piece from the sand table and scanned the sand table. Although the sand table was not large, Ye Qing'an had just traveled from the Siyou Kingdom's camp to Anzhi City that morning, so he could tell at a glance that the sand table showed the battlefield where they were.
We'll have to test Liu Enze then.
Previously, she was not very familiar with Liu Enze and thought he was just an ordinary tutor, gentle and refined with a charming demeanor. However, the more she interacted with Liu Enze, the more she realized that he was a very unpredictable person.
Are your five senses and six perceptions acute?
The five senses are sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
The six senses are: eye sense, ear sense, nose sense, tongue sense, body sense, and mind sense.
consciousness……
If that's the case, then she'll have to be extra careful around Liu Enze.
As Ye Qing'an was playing with the flag in his hand, Qingdai lowered her voice again and said, "Qiao'er just passed on a message to me, saying that after Master left earlier, she was coerced."
"She was dragged into a tent, held at knifepoint, and asked what she had said to her master."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Oh? Did she get a clear look at that person's appearance?"
“No, at the time, that person wouldn’t let her turn around, but…” Qingdai paused, “but Qiao’er said that she smelled a fragrance on that person that was a mixture of medicinal and ink scents.”
Ye Qing'an nodded: "What did she say?"
"Qiao'er said that Miss, you felt it was rare to see a woman in the camp, so you did not look down on her because she was a military prostitute. You asked her about her situation in the camp and said that Miss said she had no one to talk to in the camp. You said that you would send someone to invite her out to chat later."
"Qiao'er told me that she sensed that the man actually intended to kill her, perhaps planning to eliminate her after questioning her. But after hearing what she said, he seemed to suddenly change his mind and let her go. He also said that she should get to know you well, Miss, and become your friend. He said he would come to see her again in the future."
Ye Qing'an nodded. The scent of medicine and ink mixed together?
The place where she was talking to Qiao'er was near the newly moved military doctor's tent. Could it be that it was the camp's military doctor?
"Understood. I will send someone to find her in a couple of days."
Since that person wanted to use Qiao'er to get close to her, as long as she went to see Qiao'er from time to time, Qiao'er's life would not be in danger.
Another time passed, and that night, nothing happened.
The next morning, after Ye Qing'an got up, washed, and had breakfast, he went out of his tent and saw a general leading a group of soldiers out of the camp.
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes and stood at a distance watching them leave the tent and head towards the back of the tent.
Qingdai asked, puzzled, "The rebels are in Anzhi City, what are they doing behind us?"
Ye Qing'an already had a guess in his heart: "Yesterday, a lot of our camp's food and medicine were destroyed. The food will only last for two or three days. Now that they are leaving the camp in that direction, they are most likely going to find food."
Ye Qing'an looked up at the sky and saw that there were no more vultures circling overhead. Presumably, the Crown Prince had already arranged for someone to handle the matter.
Ye Qing'an stood at the door, and every soldier who passed by would glance at him.
Ye Qing'an frowned: "Let's go back."
Qingdai responded and put the clothes Ye Qing'an had changed out of into a basin: "This servant will go wash them."
Ye Qing'an responded, walked to the sand table, raised his hand to look at the chess pieces on the sand table, thought for a moment, then took out a map from the bookshelf and looked at the arrangement of troops on the map.
By the time Ye Qing'an figured out the troop deployment on the sand table, a long time had passed, and Qingdai had already returned to her camp.
Qingdai put down the wooden basin in her hand and walked over: "Miss, Qiao'er sent another message. She said that last night she learned from General Wei in the camp that several generals in the camp are planning to find a girl with outstanding appearance for His Highness the Crown Prince, to be presented to the Crown Prince and brought into the camp to serve him."
Ye Qing'an paused slightly in the hand holding the chess piece, narrowing his eyes: "Those generals in the camp are really quite leisurely."
"A defeat had almost no effect on them, yet they still came up with this idea."
“However…” Ye Qing’an planted a chess piece in his hand: “However, this is an opportunity.”
If we could use those generals to place someone by the Crown Prince's side to keep an eye on his every move, that would seem like a good idea.
Qingdai immediately understood the meaning behind Ye Qing'an's words: "This servant will go and make the arrangements?"
"Make the arrangements." Ye Qing'an chuckled. "Didn't some generals already go out of the camp to find supplies? Let's start with them."
"The person to be given to the Crown Prince must have a simple background and a clean history, so that he won't be troublesome to deal with. He must also be good-looking and have a simple personality."
Qingdai's eyes darted around: "It's not difficult to find people like that. Didn't they go to collect grain? Just arrange for farm girls..."
“A peasant woman…” Ye Qing’an pondered for a moment, then nodded: “Very good.”
