After talking about Jing Rong's life and death.
A general said, "This time, we must eliminate Hou Liao to avenge His Highness."
Someone else added, "But we must not be careless. Hou Liao was able to annex Yue Dan, who is growing stronger by the day. We are not only fighting Hou Liao's tribe, but also other tribes in the grasslands. Moreover, they are very familiar with this grassland and have an advantage over us. "
"But Hou Liao and Yue Dan were greatly injured after the battle. How can they contend against us?"
"That's true."
"It's better to be careful."
"Speed and accuracy are the key to war."
…
Everyone's argument was impassioned.
Chu Chengyu's frown deepened as he listened.
He knocked on the map and reprimanded, "We haven't even sent troops yet, but you are already arguing so fiercely. Are you going to fight your own people on the battlefield?"
No one said a word.
They just stood there in silence.
Chu Chengyu was about to say something when a voice came from the door.
A voice came from the door, "You can't send out your troops!"
'Eh?'
Everyone heard the voice and saw Ji Yunshu coming in from outside with bloodshot eyes.
She walked to Chu Chengyu. "His Highness said that without his order, no one can send troops to Hou Liao."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Someone said, "Now that His Highness is in trouble, how can he give the order?"
"In short, without His Highness's order, we cannot send troops."
"Miss Ji, His Highness fell off the cliff, he might already be …" dead!
"Shut up!" Chu Chengyu suddenly stood up and interrupted the man.
The man also realized that his words were inappropriate. He looked at Ji Yunshu and hurriedly said, "Miss Ji, I didn't mean that. His Highness's body hasn't been found yet, so he might be fine. Please don't … misunderstand. But no matter what, we must prepare for the worst and look at the bigger picture!"
He tried his best to persuade Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu clenched her fists and her eyes were resolute. She completely ignored his words. "I will say it again. Without His Highness's order, not a single soldier can be sent."
'Aren't you being shameless?
He's already dead, how can you give the order?
If you really give the order, won't you be scared to death? '
Of course, the man didn't say this out loud.
Chu Chengyu furrowed his brows and ordered the soldiers, "All of you leave first."
"Yes!"
After those people left, Chu Chengyu walked around the table in front of him and walked to Ji Yunshu's side. At the same time, he took out the token and said, "Miss Ji should recognize His Highness' token, right?"
Of course she recognized it!
Ji Yunshu looked at the token in his hand and accepted it.
Moreover, this token never left his side.
At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and her fingers tightened.
Chu Chengyu said, "Seeing the token is the same as seeing His Royal Highness. Now that His Royal Highness is in trouble and is being persecuted by Hou Liao, we can't just sit here and wait for death. They killed a Great Lin Royal Highness, how can we not send troops to exterminate them?"
Ji Yunshu gritted her teeth and suppressed her emotions.
"Impossible!"
"I know that Miss Ji is unwilling to accept all of this, but the facts are absolutely true. Prince Rong has indeed fallen off the cliff. As for whether he's dead or alive … I still don't know, but I hope that Miss Ji can consider the bigger picture. Don't make things difficult for me, and don't make things difficult for the tens of thousands of soldiers outside."
"…"
"We can't waste any more time. Today, the soldiers must be sent out!"
"General Chu." Ji Yunshu said, "We don't know whether His Royal Highness is dead or alive, but I'm sure that Hou Liao won't ambush His Royal Highness. It won't be too late to send troops after we understand the situation."
Chu Chengyu's face turned green. He said, "This was reported by General Ji, how can it be wrong? Moreover … General Ji was lucky enough to escape, but he's now seriously injured. "
'Ji Huan is also injured?
Could it be … that Third Master and the others really want to kill him? '
Ji Yunshu still didn't want to believe it.
She had stayed in Houliao for so long that she knew Muzar's temperament very well. She also knew Third Master's temperament very well. They would never send people to harm even a hair on Jing Rong's head. Moreover, Jing Rong had helped them defeat Yue Dan and was Houliao's benefactor.
At this time …
Outside, a bugle horn sounded once again.
It was time to send troops!
Chu Chengyu said, "Miss Ji, this is a war, not a case. Forgive me, but I can't be too cautious, and I can't waste any more time. You can stay in the city in peace, I will definitely behead Hou Liao's leader to avenge His Royal Highness. "
He turned and left.
"Wait!" Ji Yunshu called out to him.
Chu Chengyu stopped in his tracks.
He turned around to look at her.
Ji Yunshu didn't speak, her back facing him. Her eyes fell on the map.
Many places on it were marked with a pen, indicating the strategy of besieging Hou Liao. From the color of the ink, it didn't look like it was planned recently or recently.
Chu Chengyu waited for her to speak.
"Miss Ji?"
Ji Yunshu picked up the map and asked in a low voice, "General Chu, are we going to ignore His Royal Highness's orders? Or is His Royal Highness alright? In fact, you've already prepared to send troops, right? "
'Ah!'
Chu Chengyu panicked.
"Why do you say that, Miss Ji?"
Ji Yunshu turned to look at him, raising the map in her hand. "You've already planned this."
Seeing the map, the guilt in Chu Chengyu's eyes disappeared.
"Miss must be joking!"
"General Chu, you can't fool me."
Chu Chengyu's eyes darkened at her words. The corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile. "If that's the case, Miss Ji, I apologize for offending you."
"…"
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but take a few steps back. He said, "Before you came, I had already prepared to go to war with Hou Liao. As long as I can defeat Hou Liao, I will be able to return to the capital. I've been guarding this place for almost seven years! In a fit of anger, the late emperor demoted me to this place and never thought of letting me return to the capital. But now, His Majesty has issued an order.
If Hou Liao wins the war with the Great Lin, I will be allowed to return to the capital. And if the war starts, you will be sent back to the capital. "
Ah!
Ji Yunshu was flabbergasted. "You mean … His Majesty has long planned to attack Hou Liao? The so-called pledge of allegiance is just a pretense. "
"That's right!"
She was so ignorant!
She was so ignorant to the point that she had to take this step.
Chu Chengyu approached her. "I listen to His Majesty's orders, so I have to work for him. Regardless of whether His Royal Highness is in danger or not, this war must be fought."
Ji Yunshu took a few more steps back.
The map in her hand also fell to the ground.
"Guards!" Chu Chengyu shouted.
Several soldiers came from outside.
"Take Miss Ji away and keep an eye on her. We will escort her back to the capital tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
The soldiers obeyed and quickly went to grab Ji Yunshu.
