The people from the capital had also brought along an imperial edict, so Feng Ningyan found it strange.

Feng Wei hadn't gotten into any hurry, and Dragon Fang didn't have any urgent military news that could reach the capital. Furthermore, she and Shen Ling Jue had just arrived, so what urgent matter could the emperor possibly have at this time for him to deliver the imperial edict in an urgent manner?

Feng Ning Yan saw that Feng Wei was about to collect his armor and receive the imperial edict, so she asked Yue Qing: "Who is the person that came to deliver the edict?"

Yue Qing replied, "It's an eunuch. He is wearing ordinary clothes, it is hard to tell what grade he is at …"

"What's your name?" Feng Ning Yan asked again.

"He claims to be a great person." Yue Qing replied.

"Master?!" Feng Ningyan was shocked, "How could it be him!"

"Yan'Er, you know this Eunuch Gao?" Feng Wei hurriedly asked when he saw Feng Ningyan's pale face.

Feng Ning Yan clenched her teeth and clenched her fists. Her eyes reddened as she recalled the scene from her previous life where her child was carried away.

It was precisely this noble man who carried away her son and killed that leopard cat who replaced the prince right in front of her eyes!

How could she not know this person! Even if he turned to dust, she would recognize him!

"Father, this person is not someone from the palace, but one of Prince Cheng's personal eunuchs by Shen Youhuang's side." This imperial edict … I'm afraid that's not appropriate. "

Feng Ning Yan held onto Feng Wei. She only had one thought in her mind, and that was that she couldn't receive this imperial edict.

Seeing that Feng Ningyan did not accept the imperial edict, Feng Wei couldn't help but scold in a low voice, "What nonsense! No matter who the person who announced the decree is, the imperial edict is like the personal arrival of the Emperor.

"But Father …"

Feng Ning Yan wanted to pull Feng Wei back, but Feng Wei was already striding out of the tent. Anxious, she had no choice but to follow him out.

At this time, Gao Zhenzheng was standing on the platform outside the Commander's Tent, holding an imperial edict shining with golden light in both of his hands. He watched Feng Wei and Feng Ning Yan walk out with a smile on his face.

Feng Wei walked forward, swept his battle robe, knelt on one knee, and cupped his hands in greeting: "This official, Feng Wei, accepts the decree, long live the Emperor!"

When Feng Ningyan saw her father kneeling in front of the eunuch, her fists clenched even tighter. Although she hated him in her heart, she had no choice but to kneel by her father's side.

When Gao Wang saw that the Southern County's Marshal, Young Marshal, and the others were all kneeling in front of him, he smiled complacently. He slowly began to open the imperial edict and read it arrogantly.

Emperor's Mandate: Recently, the Ministry of War has received news that the Southern Ning Army has expanded its troops to include military equipment and grain reserves, using the excuse of reorganizing their armaments and strengthening their forces at the southern border. "In order to assist the Southern Ning Army in preparing for the war, I hereby appoint Prince Cheng, Shen Youhuang, as the military overseer. We are rushing to Dragon's Fang on the same day to meet with County Governor Ning and Great General Feng Wei of the hussars, to help with the expansion of the Southern Ning Army and other important matters along the way.

Halfway through listening, Feng Wei had already raised his head in shock.

Feng Ningyan's face was ashen. Although she knew that the person who had come this time was not kind and was definitely related to Shen You Huang, she hadn't thought that the emperor would appoint Shen You Huang as the overseer.

What was a military supervisor? The military overseer was a temporary assignment sent by the emperor, representing the military affairs of the imperial court. It could be said that the authority granted by the superintendent was greater than that of a general.

In the past, he had always used eunuchs or censors to supervise the army. In other words, he was either a popular person by the emperor's side, or he had the power to report and supervise officials.

However, this was the first time that someone had appointed a prince as a military overseer.

The Feng family had been stationed in Ningnan for generations and had fought with the countries of the Southern Wilderness for so many years. The imperial government had never sent any military supervisors to monitor them, so why would there suddenly be an army supervisor today?

Didn't this mean that the emperor didn't trust Ning Nanyan and Feng Wei? How could he accept Feng Wei's straightforward attitude?

He lifted his battle robe and stood up. "Impossible! How could the emperor not trust this marshal? Bring me the imperial edict! "

After saying that, he snatched the imperial edict from Gao Zhen's hand and carefully examined it. After he finished reading it, he was stunned.

"It's true indeed …"

The bright red seal was placed at the bottom left corner of the imperial edict. How could it be fake?

Seeing that her father had suffered such a blow, Feng Ning Yan hurriedly held onto Feng Wei. "Father …"

She couldn't bear to tell him about the current state of the Emperor, afraid that her father would be even more shocked and disappointed.

However, she was well aware that the reason the decree could reach the Southern Ning Army's camp wasn't just because the emperor was being disrespectful. Shen Youhuang must have done quite a few things in the capital to bewitch the emperor.

Seeing Feng Wei and Feng Ning Yan lose their composure in shock, Gao Ying held his horsetail whisk and said with a cold smile:

"General Feng, it's not that the emperor doesn't believe in you, but your one hundred thousand Southern Ning Prefecture is already quite a large number. The imperial government's food rations have nearly emptied the treasury. Now that the Southern Wilderness didn't make any moves and you're recruiting troops, even if the emperor isn't afraid of you conspiring against him, he should at least know where the money was spent, right? If General Feng were to be magnanimous and magnanimous, wouldn't the military overseer just be a useless act? Why do you have such a huge reaction? "

"Dog slave!" What did you say! "

When Feng Ning Yan heard this, she was angered, she pulled out her sword and placed it on Gao Xiang's neck, then scolded, "The Ning Nan Army's food rations are always split into half, and the taxes are split into half. What are you, a dog slave?

Gao Dazhi already knew that the Feng family's father and daughter weren't easy to handle. Seeing the sword on his neck, there was no reason not to be afraid.

However, as Shen Youhuang's vanguard, he arrived early and passed down the orders as if he had a talisman on him. He was completely confident.

He crooked his mouth and laughed arrogantly, "Heh, Princess Yuanyu is still as hot-tempered as ever. Could it be that you, your father and daughter, refuse the emperor's arrangements and wish to kill the person who delivered the decree, demonstrating to the imperial court?"

Hearing that, Feng Wei slapped Feng Ning Yan's hand and shouted: "You bastard! Hurry up and leave! "

Although it was difficult for him to accept it at the moment, the imperial edict had already been passed down. There was no way to change Shen Youhuang's role in overseeing the army. So what if he killed an imperial eunuch?

Gao Dazhi smugly glanced at Feng Ningyan. "It's still General Feng who has a sense of propriety. This servant has completed his mission. I believe that tonight or tomorrow morning, His Highness Duke Cheng and his entourage will arrive at Dragon Fang. I hope that General Feng can arrange His Highness' residence as soon as possible. "

He turned around and looked at the signboard in the middle of the tent. The late emperor himself had written down the words "Loyalty of the Clan", and he said dejectedly: "Vice General Yue, prepare to receive the overseer."

Seeing her father in such a sorry state, Feng Ningyan's eyes couldn't help but feel hot.

She hatefully swept a glance at Gao Zhen, then supported Feng Wei as they walked back to the Commander's Tent.

"Father …"

Feng Wei knew that his daughter wanted to console him, but he raised his hand to interrupt her. He looked at the handsome chair under the plaque and smiled helplessly.

"It seems that the Emperor no longer trusts the Feng family. Ning Nan Army has been passed down in the Feng family for several generations. It has been more than a hundred years since your great-grandfather hired me. People don't have a hundred days of good days, flowers don't have a hundred days. Since dynasties have changed, how can the family of generals not rise and fall? "Father is open-minded."

"Father!" Your daughter forbids you to say such things! " Thinking of the tragic scene in her previous life where Feng Wei was defeated by the dragon teeth and then slashed through the entire family, she firmly gritted her teeth to hold back her tears, gritted her teeth, and said, "I definitely won't let the Feng Family decline!"
