Recovering from his thoughts, Ji Xingzhi asked, "How many troops did the Prince of Xun bring?"

"Less than three thousand." Wu Fang replied.

"What about Shuizhou?" Ji Xingzhi asked again.

"About... 100,000 people." Wu Fang paused.

After getting the answer, Ji Xingzhi closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again and said, "It seems that Shuizhou has come out in full force."

Wu Fang's expression darkened. Even though Hua Yihen was the undefeated god of war in Huazhou, he had to travel a long distance, with only 53,000 exhausted soldiers, to face an army of 100,000 strong from Shuizhou...

Wu Fang couldn't help but worry.

Ling Lan volunteered to lead the troops to fight against Shui Lianche's army. Ji Xingzhi rejected Ling Lan's request without thinking. It was not that Ji Xingzhi underestimated Ling Lan's ability. Against Shui Lianche, Ling Lan was not ruthless enough.

Shui Lianche will do anything to win, even if it means his entire army is wiped out.

Ling Lan wanted to win while also trying his best to save the lives of his soldiers, so he naturally felt restrained when he had concerns.

All Ji Xingzhi could do at this moment was to let the people evacuate to Huazhou. In just two days, there was not a single citizen left in Lizhou City.

That night, Ji Xingzhi stood on the city wall, looking up at the starry sky as usual. There were not many stars tonight, only a few, which looked like the decline of Lizhou.

A green figure slowly walked up to Ji Xingzhi and whispered, "There will always be a way."

Ji Xingzhi lowered his head, glanced sideways at the people around him, put aside the worries in his heart, smiled and said: "Yuan Qin, tell me where you have been all these years."

Yuan Qin nodded slightly and slowly talked about his past.

Yuan Qin said that he had been living with his aunt Yuansuzhen for many years. His aunt had become a complete lunatic and often abused him. He had tried to escape several times but failed.

A few months ago, his aunt wanted to have an improper relationship with him. He could no longer tolerate it and accidentally killed his own aunt. Later, when he heard that King Luo of Southwest was attacking Lizhou, he came to Lizhou to help.

But he couldn't help much. When he saw Ji Xingzhi coming back, he felt ashamed to see her and hid himself.

Now that Lizhou is in trouble again, he has reappeared.

"." Yuan Qin said.

Ji Xingzhi was slightly puzzled: "Hmm?"

Yuan Qin lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "I regret helping my aunt catch you."

Ji Xingzhi understood immediately after hearing this: "You mean that time? Actually, I should thank you. If it weren't for you and your aunt, I wouldn't have fallen into Qin Ying's hands, let alone met Hua Yihen."

If it weren't for Hua Yihen, Wuyang would have been occupied by Huazhou long ago...

After hearing this, Yuan Qin smiled in relief. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, I've always wanted to ask, where is the princess?"

After all, he and Ji Ruhua entered the palace together. The girl was younger than him, but she looked very calm and dignified. He felt inferior to her in many aspects.

But after not seeing Ji Ruhua for several months, he couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he took this opportunity to ask.

In fact, it wasn't just Yuan Qin. Even Ji Jiangshen, Xiao Qingyan, Zhou Zheng, and the others were puzzled. They knew that Princess Luo was in Yuzhou, but where was Princess Ji? Where was the Regent?

Ji Xingzhi had just returned to Lizhou and had been in a bad mood, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, so no one dared to ask him. But now, because of all the troubles, everyone forgot to ask.

When Yuan Qin asked about Ji Ruhua, Ji Xingzhi lowered her eyelids slightly and said lightly, "In Shuizhou."

After a pause, Ji Xingzhi continued, "With Shui Lianche."
