Chapter 440 Departure
"Don't blame Fifth Sister, blame me. It's me who implicated Fifth Sister." Something has already happened, and now Jiang Yue just wants Fifth Sister to recover as soon as possible.
Two maids came in again and brought medicine and dinner.
Jiang Wuni shook her head, strongly disagreeing with Jiang Yue's words:
"Xiao Liu, you are wrong. This matter has nothing to do with you. It is their dirty thoughts. But now it is good. Lindu City is peaceful. Xiao Liu can be at ease to be your own general and protect the safety of the city."
Jiang Wu Ni had no appetite at all, but Jiang Yue still fed her a bowl of rice porridge.
Afterwards, Jiang Yue checked the medicine soup, brought it to the fifth sister and fed her the medicine.
Jiang Wuni took a sip of the medicine, feeling a little bit afraid of the bitterness.
Seeing that Jiang Yue was still a little depressed, he did not forget to continue to comfort her.
"I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt at all. Thanks to the two Xuanwu soldiers left by Xiaoliu, as well as my third brother-in-law and Xue Wen. These are all thanks to Xiaoliu."
Jiang Yue continued to feed the medicine soup into the fifth sister's mouth, and the corners of her lips finally relaxed.
"You don't have to wait for me to eat tomorrow morning. His Majesty has assigned me a new task."
"Hmm? Another mission? But you need to continue to pick up Princess Xining?" Jiang Wuni just heard that Jiang Yue didn't seem to have picked up Princess Singh.
Jiang Yue shook her head and said:
"There are still remnants of Zeng Guangren outside the city, but don't worry, they can't cause any big trouble."
When it came to Singh, she began to feel uneasy again.
Xiaoliu’s responsibility is to ensure the safety of the city. What else can Jiang Wuni say?
After she lay down and fell asleep, Jiang Yue left her room.
The Xuanwu Army had been traveling for a long time, so they had already eaten and went to bed.
The Fourth Prince’s Mansion, Garden Pavilions.
Zhao Chongzheng looked a lot calmer than before, and he seemed to have lost his previous dandy attitude.
He should be happy that the Zeng family was destroyed, but he always felt upset.
She once came to see him, but he turned her away.
Now that I have heard the news of her death, I look at the moon alone:
"I hope you will be born into a good family in your next life."
He was so absorbed in drinking that he did not even notice His Majesty's visit.
"Why, was it unfair for you to be born in the royal family? Or was it unfair for you to be my younger brother?"
Zhao Chongzheng turned around and saw that it was His Majesty. He tilted his lips and did not intend to explain. He just smiled and said:
"My royal brother would rather believe Zeng Guangren than me."
"How do you talk to me?" This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Chongxiu disliked Zhao Chongzheng, who was very bold and did what he wanted.
"I know I was wrong." Zhao Chongzheng drank a glass of strong liquor by himself, which choked him and made his throat hurt.
"I wonder why my brother is looking for me?"
"If there's nothing wrong, then you can't come?" Zhao Chongxiu snatched Zhao Chongzheng's wine glass and placed it on the stone table.
Zhao Chongzheng shook his head repeatedly: "You are His Majesty, let alone this small Fourth Prince's Mansion, the whole world belongs to you, there is no place you can't go."
Zhao Chongxiu listened to the flattering words and sighed:
"If I don't come to look for you, will you even skip the morning court? You don't take me seriously at all."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare I defy your majesty? I have been in prison for many days and my health is really poor." Zhao Chongzheng began to act pitiful. What he hated most was going to court, and he originally wanted to use this opportunity to have more rest.
"You are lying and you need to find a good excuse. You look so sad and depressed, yet you can still drink. It doesn't seem like you are in poor health, but more like you are trapped in love." Zhao Chongxiu rarely spoke to Zhao Chongzheng in such a calm manner.
Zhao Chongzheng did not comment.
"So, my Royal Brother, why are you looking for me?"
Zhao Chongxiu didn't tell him the reason, and Zhao Chongzheng became a little anxious.
He didn't think that his royal brother came to visit him in person. In his impression, his royal brother was always arrogant and looked down on him since childhood.
Zhao Chongxiu got to the point:
"There is a traitor at the border. This is a serious matter. Now I will hand it over to you. If you can successfully find the rebel, I will make you the King of Rui."
"I hope you will be wise and live up to my expectations."
"...Huh?" Zhao Chongzheng's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief.
The emperor actually assigned him a task?
King Rui? It sounded impressive. He grinned and smiled, then knelt down and said:
"Brother, I obey!"
"But, Your Majesty, do you want me to go to the border?"
"That's right." This is what Zhao Chongxiu meant.
When Zhao Chongzheng heard this, he realized that he had been in prison for some time and his brain was a little rusty.
He stood up and said:
"Brother Emperor, I am powerless..."
"As a member of the royal family, you should share the country's worries. Fourth brother, you performed very well this time. I hope you will continue to work hard. No matter how well you do, I will keep the position of King Rui for you."
"I obey your command." Zhao Chongzheng accepted the order sincerely.
But, "Royal brother, can you send the young general to me? Otherwise, it will be a question whether I can survive safely."
"Young General is busy with military duties and cannot spare time. I will give you a 100-man elite force, which will be enough to protect your safety."
Zhao Chongxiu didn't want Zhao Chongzheng to die in vain, so he wanted him to go to the border, and naturally he also thought of a countermeasure.
"Okay." Zhao Chongzheng agreed, but it would be even better if a young general could accompany him.
Nothing could go as he wished. After his brother left, he continued to drink his liquor, but this time his mood was different.
...At midnight, Jiang Yue and other Xuanwu soldiers had already got up.
It was precisely because she wanted to try not to disturb the peace of the people that Jiang Yue set out at this time.
Jiang Yue left Xue Wen to guard the city, and together with Wu Fei, Mu Heng, Lin Guo, Song Jie and others, he led two thousand soldiers out of the city.
That’s right, two thousand is enough.
This time leaving the city was different from the last time. She had enough bargaining chips and was determined to win.
On the road, the march was rapid.
Just as she guessed, those people did not come, but turned back to prepare for later opportunities.
They felt that it was impossible for His Majesty Donglin to send out all his forces to deal with them, otherwise, they would definitely attack from the side and go straight to the enemy.
Jiang Yue led the army from midnight to dawn. During this period, Song Jie and Wu Ding explored their own ways.
It was not until the hour of Hai the next day that Song Jie and the other two came forward to report.
Song Jie: "General, there are traces of the enemy on the mountain road ahead."
Wu Ding: "They retreated very quickly and are very familiar with our terrain. They are now resting in a deserted area five miles away from us."
People at the hour of Hai are naturally sleeping.
"Keep moving forward and be careful to hide." The closer they got, the more Jiang Yue could not alert the enemy.
What she was mainly afraid of was that these people would threaten the safety of the people.
By then, it will be very difficult.
Gradually, they chased to that desolate suburb.
After finding the place, Jiang Yue discovered that this place was only two miles away from the nearby county town.
The distance is too close, so we need to lure them away first.
As for how to lure them away? Of course, use yourself as a lure.
