Chapter 124 - Ni Qing Bamboo Forest Formation
Physician He is running toward The emperor with the tonic in his hand. He is scared of the emperor verdict. Jin Yu can not believe his own people got mesmerised and side with his competition.
He is drinking the ginger water before he takes his wife body and lay down with her body in his arm. He does not care about anyone in the room and hold her into his sturdy arm to rest up. Ni Sheng is laughing to see his brother-in-law childish behaviour.
He is asking everyone to leave the chamber empty to let them rest. He cannot do anything when his brother-in-law pulls rank.

Lin Yue is going back to the capital with Wang Bo. They are going into the noodle factory in the outskirt of the capital. The factory is operating as the normal factory when they are arriving in the place.
"Excuse me…" Wang Bo is asking one of the workers inside the factory.
"Good afternoon, sir… are you looking to purchase some of our famous noodles?" the young man is asking them about their visit to their factory.
"Can I speak with the owner? My boss here only wants to discuss with the owner and no one else," Wang Bo is making excuse as they need to meet with the owner. Lin Yue is sitting on his horse.
"Come… Come… Brother Xu Kai… this young master is going to discuss some business with you." The young man is escorting Wang Bo and Lin Yue inside the factory while calling his boss. They can see brother Xu Kai is the same age as Zhang and having a fit body with his simple clothes and flour all over his body.
No one knows if he is the captain of the eagle troops in this country. The most notorious soldier in this continent got special training from the emperor. they are going into his small office in the back of the factory where he is washing his hand.
Out of a sudden, he is clasping his hand together and bowing to Lin Yue. "What can I help you, General Lin Yue?"
"You are well aware of my identity, but what is your name?" Lin Yu is clasping his hand together and bowing to respect him.
"My name is Xu Kai. What brought you here?" Xu Kai is telling them to sit down on the simple wooden stool before serving them some hot water.
"We are here because the royal highness emperor wants you to gather his eagle troop and protect him," Lin Yue is taking out the golden eagle token from inside his clothes. As soon as Xu Kai sees the token, he kneels down as he sees the emperor himself.
"Give me an hour and I will make sure to bring you the eagle troop as the royal highness emperor wish," Xu Kai is telling Lin Yue.
"How about you are going to the outside of the capital near the river? I will meet you within one hour. Make sure no one tailing you!" Lin Yue is giving out the token to XU Kai and leaving the factory. They are going to the tea house to meet with Mr Zhou. He is giving out the latest news to Lin Yue about the armoury missing so many weapons.
Apparently, Lord Jeong already making his moves by recruiting and gathering his own people. He also trains them in the small village where his family come from. Lin Yue then remembers Ru Ya's mother. They are rushing to the small village outskirt of the capital.
They are sneaking their way into the capital and find the biggest house in the village. They can see the military barrack build in the village area. They turn the land into a military barrack with many young men practising their ability to fight.
Lin Yue and Wang Bo are sneaking into the house and find a pale beautiful old lady sit in the wooden day bed outside the courtyard. She is wearing an article of simple clothing and really different from the late madame Jeong.
"Madame, are you miss Ru Ya's mother?" Lin Yue is asking her with his gentle voice. She looks startled to see their appearance.
"Is my Ru Ya's fine? Is her brother forcing her to get married? Poor Ru Ya…." Old Madame Jeong is asking her daughter condition to Lin Yue.
"She is fine, and she asks me to pick you up. she is married to my brother, and I will bring you to live with her as her wish," Lin Yue is holding to her hand.
"Let me send someone to inform Jeong or else he will get angry and punish his sister for my negligence. I have to pack some food I made for Ru Ya," She is standing up and walking to the house before Lin Yue stop her.
"Madame, you do not need to inform your son. We are here to rescue you from your son's hand. We need to hurry," Lin Yue is holding her to the back door where their horse located. He is putting the old madame on his horse before he is jumping on the back of her.
They are riding the horse into the meeting point with the eagle troop. As soon as they are almost reaching the river area. They cannot believe their eyes. there are almost five thousand soldiers with their weapons and Armour ready. Captain Xu Kai is leading the troop and coming forward when he sees Lin Yue and Wang Bo.
"Come follow us… we can not be seen with this many people," Lin Yue is shouting to them as he rides his horse into their mountain villa. They are riding really fast without stop until the bamboo forest. They are riding without any stop until they are arriving at the entrance of the bamboo forest.
"Wang Bo, can you lead us to this bamboo forest?" Lin Yue is testing his loyal assistant.
"The famous Bamboo strategy forest by Ni Qing…" Xu Kai is stopping his horse next to Lin Yue.
"How do you know captain Xu Kai?" Wang Bo is asking the new person next to his boss.
"Who does not know about the famous Ni Qing in this continent? If I know her before she enters the palace then I will propose to her. my mother and sister are huge fans of her. I wish I can meet with her," Xu Kai is telling about his admiration toward Ni Qing in front of her ex-fiancé.
"You will meet her soon. Even if she is not entering the palace, she is already betrothal to this handsome general Lin Yue," Wang Bo is explaining to the captain.
"I am sorry, General Lin Yue. Forgive my mouth who can not filter the word," Xu Kai is telling him.
"Do you bring some noodles?" Lin Yue is asking him with his cold tone.
"No… but I can make it with my eyes closes. I make a killer noodle in the capital even the palace is ordering from our place," Xu Kai is telling him with his proud face.
"I will hold your word when we arrive in the villa. Remember that Captain Xu! Wang Bo, what are you waiting for? Let's go." Lin Yue is telling his assistant as the old madame in front of him still sleeping.
Wang Bo is leading their way inside the bamboo forest. They are really in awe of this formation inside the bamboo forest. They are really lucky to experience it firsthand to see the intrigue formation from Ni Qing. No one can penetrate this formation really easy, and Wang Bo is failed at this stage when they are going in the circle.
"General Lin… I give up… we are going in the circle all the time," Wang Bo is telling him about his incorrect turn and decision.
"What does Ni Qing always teach you?" Lin Yue is trying to look around.
"The wind direction, the sun direction and the surrounding sound," Wang Bo is telling him. Xu Kai is listening from the expert.
"What are you feeling? What is the sun direction? What is the surrounding sound?" Lin Yue is telling him. Xu Kai is closing his eyes to feel and listen to the wind and sound surrounding them before he is looking at the sun direction.
They are going in the circle because they are going south instead of north. The village is located in the north of the bamboo forest and there is a river from the mountain waterfall. They are going in a different direction and following the water sound direction to get out from this bamboo forest.
They are so happy to see the village in front of them. They are showing the nearby barrack for them to settle up. they can not believe there is a village in the mountain with beautiful scenery. Wang Bo is bringing them to rest in the barrack before they are going to report to the emperor. Lin Yu is bringing Ru Ya's mother to the villa.
