Chapter 171 Why me?
When He Jingyun was a sixth-rank commander in the Hujie Army, Ye Mingsheng was just a sentry captain who had just been promoted to the eighth rank.

If it weren't for that incident back then, He Jingyun's future would have been ruined. He might now be the commander of the Hujie Imperial Guards, and his fellow villager Fang Jing would have no chance.

The imperial court and the Golden Horde fought for several years in a row, costing countless money and lives, but neither side could do anything to the other, so both sides decided to negotiate peace.

The envoys of the Golden Horde also arrived in Luoan. There were more than one hundred people in the delegation. It was said that there was a Golden Horde warrior named Omga in the delegation. When he was fighting with the Great Zhou, he used extremely cruel methods and killed many soldiers of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, after discovering that Omga had come to Luoan, the various imperial guards were very excited, and many of them wanted to kill him, either to avenge their brothers, friends, or relatives.

However, due to the overall situation of the peace talks, everyone held back and did not take any action.

Only the eldest brother He Jingyun, regardless of the consequences, sneaked into the camp of the Golden Horde delegation alone in the middle of the night, chopped off Omga's head, and turned the camp upside down.

The most amazing thing is this eldest brother, who ran away after killing people, and brought Omga’s head to the Beiling Camp of the Imperial Guards to commemorate his two uncles who died at the hands of Omga...
However, although He Jingyun was very powerful, he was still a mortal after all. Although he managed to escape from the bloody battle in the delegation camp, his left hand was disabled. In order to save his life, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital amputated his left hand.

Because the killing of Omga was a real slap in the face of the Golden Horde, the envoys sent by the Golden Horde were furious and immediately demanded that the court hand over the person, otherwise they would not talk anymore and continue fighting.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister Shangguan Hongyuan was strong enough and was not threatened by the Golden Horde. All the imperial guards admired He Jingyun's actions. They jointly wrote a letter to protect He Jingyun. The young and energetic original owner also signed and stamped his fingerprints on the joint letter to protect He Jingyun.

After some wrangling, the peace talks were finally settled and the court did not hand over He Jingyun. However, the incident involving He Jingyun caused too much trouble, which put the court in a very passive position and almost triggered a new round of war with the Golden Horde.

Therefore, He Jingyun, who had always been daring, was disliked by Xu Bingyang, the Minister of War who led the peace talks at that time. In addition, he lost a hand, so his bright future was gone. Even after his injury healed, he was quickly transferred from the Hujie Imperial Guards to the Luoan Command Headquarters and given an idle position. From then on, he disappeared in Luoan, and there was little news about him in the outside world.

Ye Mingsheng never expected that Chen Yannian would actually find him and introduce him to himself...
Although Ye Mingsheng's current official position is the fifth rank, which is one level higher than He Jingyun's sixth rank, Ye Mingsheng still has some self-awareness and knows that with his current fame and strength, he still cannot attract people like He Jingyun.

So the question is, if that's the case, why is He Jingyun here?

Because he was not sure what He Jingyun was planning, Ye Mingsheng did not take the initiative to ask.

He Jingyun, who was sitting opposite him, was not in a hurry at all. After asking the waiter for a set of bowls and chopsticks, he started drinking and eating without any hesitation.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became silent for a while. At this time, Chen Yannian, the inviter of the banquet, stood up and took the initiative to introduce Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, that incident happened so many years ago, and Sir He also wanted to make a comeback, but due to some reasons, he couldn't return to the Imperial Guard, so he could only seek to be sent out, and this time Zhenwu Army is a very good opportunity!"

Chen Yannian's words were very euphemistic, but the main idea and meaning of his words were very clear. Ye Mingsheng did not speak after hearing this, but looked at He Jingyun, who only had one arm left, with a scrutinizing gaze.

Facing Ye Mingsheng's gaze, He Jingyun wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and nodded calmly, indicating that Chen Yannian was right.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng no longer had any reservations and asked directly:
"why me?"

He Jingyun seemed to have guessed that Ye Mingsheng would ask this question, and he said bluntly without any hesitation:
"Wang Muzhi has many old subordinates around him, and Gongsun Heng is a local from Liaoyang. They both have enough manpower, so they don't need me!"

Seeing that He Jingyun was the only one left, and Commander Chen Dechang didn't say anything, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but ask:
"What about Lord Chen?"

When Ye Mingsheng asked this question, He Jingyun frowned slightly, but did not speak. Just as Ye Mingsheng was curious, Chen Yannian whispered:

"Sir He, I was once engaged to Lord Chen's youngest daughter, but after that incident, Lord Chen broke off the engagement..."

Hearing about such a thing, Ye Mingsheng no longer had any doubts in his mind. After all, breaking off an engagement and canceling an engagement were indeed a great humiliation for the man in today's world. Therefore, as long as He Jingyun still had a little bit of blood and backbone, he would not have flattered Chen Dechang and surrendered to him!

After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked another most crucial question.

"Master He, what did the Ministry of War say about your transfer this time?"

Although Ye Mingsheng asked very politely, He Jingyun naturally understood what Ye Mingsheng meant, nodded and said:

"I went to the Xu Mansion three days ago and paid a visit to Lord Xu Bingyang. I apologized to Lord Shangshu. Lord Shangshu has allowed me to transfer to Zhenwu Army. If nothing unexpected happens, my transfer order will be issued within seven days!"

After He Jingyun finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng's expression remained the same without any change, but he was slightly alert in his heart. This guy He Jingyun actually took care of Xu Bingyang. This didn't seem like an accidental idea, but was well prepared...

Because the incident happened suddenly, and He Jingyun was a big shot in his eyes, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a while, but still had no plan in mind. After considering it for a while, he bowed to He Jingyun and said sincerely:

"It's rare that Lord He values ​​me. I'm honored. But this is a serious matter. Can you give me a few days to think about it?"

This time it was finally He Jingyun's turn to be a little surprised. There was a hint of displeasure on his angular face, as if he thought that since he could condescend to come and seek refuge with Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng would certainly be happy to accept him. He never expected that Ye Mingsheng would actually consider...
