Chapter 323 On the Road to the Capital
After Zhao Chongxu finished speaking, he looked at the spy on the ground, who looked as pale as death.
"This person must be left alive and handed over to my royal brother for disposal." He believed that his royal brother knew what to do.
Jiang Yue: "Your Majesty, do you trust me so much?"
Although she didn't know what prince was, as long as the title was correct, it was fine.
Lin Guo and the other two were also shocked at the same time. They had a long way to go and it seemed that they needed to be more careful along the way.
"General Ling and Lord Li have both praised you to the skies. Besides, you have just proved with your own strength that you can do it." Zhao Chongxu trusted his employees.
Jiang Yue still vividly remembered how he and his people had just teamed up to kill the spy.
Jiang Yue clasped his fists and said seriously: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Zhao Chongxu asked again:
"At the border, has General Ling sent out further troops?"
"Not yet." Jiang Yue replied: "The war has stopped for the time being, and our soldiers are recuperating. The battle will either take place this autumn or next spring."
Lin Guo and the other two: Xiaoliu even knows this?
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxu pondered for a moment.
Are you still going to the border?
Of course I have to go. My royal brother wants to crush Northern Yan.
Moreover, the 10,000 elite troops he led this time had already taken the lead.
The reason why he fell behind was because of these Northern Yan spies under him.
When he left, he had not heard about the battle situation at the border. It was only just now that he heard the whole picture of the border from Jiang Yue, and he secretly praised Ling Yunxiao for his outstanding leadership.
As for why he hasn't reached the border yet, one reason is that he started walking too late, and the other is that he has been tracked by those Northern Yan spies.
It was he who gave the secret order to Xie Yuanzhi about the infiltration of spies into Qingyun Prefecture.
But I didn't expect that it would backfire.
In fact, this incident cannot be blamed entirely on Xie Yuanzhi. If anyone should be blamed, it should be that the enemy spies were too cunning.
Otherwise, how could he have chased it until now and almost got hurt by it?
Zhao Chongxu had no intention of staying any longer, and said to Jiang Yue again,
"Thank you, Deputy General Jiang!"
If it weren't for Jiang Yue, he would have to continue dealing with this group of spies.
After he finished speaking, he mounted his horse again, and the five masters and servants rode away.
"Your Highness!" Xie Yuanzhi still wanted to invite Zhao Chongxu into the mansion for tea and meal.
Looking at Jiang Yue again: "Deputy General Jiang?"
Isn’t it Mr. Jiang?
"I only knew that you were good at studying, but I didn't expect that you are now a deputy general in the army."
No wonder General Ling appointed Jiang Yue to go to the capital to report.
But, how is this possible?
There are exceptions to everything, and Jiang Yue is the exception for him.
Jiang Yue smiled calmly, then clasped her fists towards Xie Yuanzhi and said:
"Sir, due to urgent matters, we will take our leave first."
Xie Yuanzhi clasped his fists in return. Looking at Jiang Yue again at this moment, he was no longer the student he used to be.
"I wonder if Deputy General Jiang would be so kind as to come to my humble abode for a gathering. I will prepare some good wine and delicious food."
Jiang Yue glanced at the sky and said, "It is better to obey than to be respectful."
Thanks to Jiang Yue, Jiang Wuni and the other two were also able to have a meal at Xie Yuanzhi's house.
The matter of the spy cannot be relaxed. Jiang Yue thought about it and felt that something bad would happen if he was awake, so she simply poured him a cup of knockout drug.
This task was completed by her two brothers-in-law.
...So they didn't waste too long. After noon, Jiang Yue and the other three continued their journey.
As before, they travelled swiftly.
However, during the journey, a spy from Northern Yan appeared, which hindered their movements.
So they bought a carriage and tied the people inside.
It was a very hot day and everyone's face was red.
They passed through various villages along the way, and around 3 p.m., they found a restaurant in a county town to have a meal, and then continued on their journey.
At night, they stayed at a simple inn in a village or town.
The next day, before dawn, we continued on our journey.
While on the journey, Jiang Yue held the map she brought from the border, fearing that she would take the wrong road. Fortunately, her sense of direction has always been good, and she kept asking nearby people while looking for the way.
During this period, whenever the spy showed signs of waking up, Lin Guo gave him a bowl of rice porridge mixed with knockout drug.
Jiang Yue only asked to save his life.
Morning of the third day.
At this time, the Xuanwu Army was also on the road quickly.
A group of troops marched in an orderly manner on the wide official road. The cart behind the carriage held the coffin steadily.
However, since they were carrying the coffin along the way, they would not be able to travel as fast as usual.
The coffin is eye-catching and always attracts the attention of passers-by nearby.
On the way, Xue Wen kept an eye on the movements behind him.
"Why haven't Deputy General Jiang and the others caught up yet?"
Wu Fei replied: "Maybe he stayed at home for a few more days."
He couldn't help but think of this time when he went home. His parents saw his now thinner figure, especially his mother, who didn't say a word but just hugged him and cried bitterly.
Three days had passed, and he still hadn't gotten over the sadness and joy of the long-awaited reunion.
It was hard for Wu Fei to imagine how sad the families of those sacrificed soldiers would be.
"That must be the case." Xue Wen nodded, and the horse ran closer to the five brothers.
"Brothers, tell me, did Deputy General Jiang go to visit Youyou when he returned home?"
When Wu Fang talked about his junior sister, the expression on his face softened a little.
This little junior sister who grew up on his shoulders is as close to all of them as a sister.
"Of course, Junior Sister and Junior Brother are childhood sweethearts, and Junior Sister's favorite is her too."
After hearing this, Wu Ning shook his head and said, "Junior sister only talks about Junior brother, and we senior brothers are jealous. Junior sister obviously likes Fifth Brother the most."
Second Senior Brother Wu Yuan nodded, approached Wu Ning, and said with a smile: "Fifth Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister, they are made for each other."
After hearing this, Wu Ning hurriedly moved away from him, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful, Junior Sister won't let you off, she's really annoying me."
Third senior brother Wu Yang and fourth senior brother Wu Ming felt that what second senior brother said made a lot of sense.
Wu Yang joked, "Fifth Junior Brother, if you marry Junior Sister, wouldn't that make the relationship even closer?"
Wu Ming thought about it and smiled: "What a pair of happy enemies."
Wu Ning was shivering all over.
"What's this about close relatives, happy enemies, what nonsense, we and Junior Sister are already a family. Isn't it good to be free? If you want to get married, that's your business, don't involve me."
Since there was no point in continuing the conversation today, he decided to stay away from them.
Xue Wen was listening and grinning along.
"Wu Ning, didn't you say it yourself? Junior Sister likes you the most."
Wu Ning shook his head, "How can this be the same?"
Hearing the sound of horse footsteps behind him, Wu Ning turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yue and the other three who had caught up with him.
He said, "It's finally here."
The two sides met, and Xue Wen waved his hand to stop after seeing Jiang Yue and the others.
"Vice President Jiang is here, take a rest for a while."
Wu Fei and others followed suit and pulled the reins.
At the same time, their eyes fell on the carriage behind Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue approached the Xuanwu Army, and the first thing he asked was,
"Did the journey go smoothly?"
