After a while, the guards searched the fake soldier thoroughly, but found no useful evidence.
Even the knife he used was from the military camp. It seemed that the killer had already infiltrated the army, disguised himself as a soldier, and went into battle with the army.
After the guards carried the body away.
Yang Hongjin asked,
"How did the Marshal know that this man was a spy?"
"Haha, to be honest with you, Your Highness, my son-in-law stayed in Donggu Pass for a few days a while ago, and it was he who asked me to be careful.
So I asked my personal soldiers to be more careful, and any changes would need my approval.
This person didn't know this, so he pretended to deliver food, and I discovered him."
"I see. No wonder the Marshal was able to identify the spy at first sight. It seems your son-in-law is a capable man, with the ability to predict the future."
"Haha, Your Highness, you're too kind. This kid is pretty good, isn't he? He's quite reliable."
Yuchi Zhong felt very proud. He didn't expect that Jiang Hai was right.
It was just a slight deviation, and the target was Yang Hongjin.
Fortunately, the pistol given by my son-in-law is really useful. Without this weapon, I would not have been able to save Yang Hongjin in time.
Yang Hongjin looked at Yuchi Zhong and asked tentatively,
"Can I take a look at that weapon?"
Yuchi Zhong thought about it, and thinking about the happiness of almost killing Jiang Hai, he took out the magazine and handed it to Yang Hongjin.
"Here, Your Highness, please see."
Yang Hongjin happily took it and looked at it for a while, moving very carefully and not daring to use too much force, praising it non-stop.
"This is truly a work of art, a divine weapon."
Yuchi Zhong is in charge. Haha, yes, haha, thank you for the compliment, Your Highness, haha.
After a while, Yang Hongjin returned the pistol to Yuchi Zhong and said,
"General, I will have to treat you and your son-in-law to a good feast when I get back. It's all thanks to you that we didn't let the spies succeed today."
"Very well, very well. Thank you, Your Highness."
Yuchi Zhong bowed.
At this time, a report came in from outside that the matter had been almost investigated.
Lu Quan, who was responsible for bringing food to Yuchi Zhong, was poisoned to death.
Nothing else was found out. This spy was a ruthless person and had poison in his mouth. It was just that Yuchi Zhong's gun just now killed him before he could commit suicide.
Yuchi Zhong sighed.
"Your Highness, try not to leave the central military camp during this period, for fear that the enemy may have a backup plan."
"Well, I'll pay attention."
Yang Hongjin nodded. He didn't expect that someone would plot against him when he went to the border. Now he didn't dare to be careless.
After the matter came to an end, everyone returned to their tents to rest and wait for the next day to continue their journey.
…
Capital city, imperial palace.
The court was very lively during the court meeting that day.
After Yuchi Zhong went on the expedition, he spent a month on the way to Donggu Pass.
While Yuchi Zhong's army was still on the way, Yang Hongye had already sent people to submit memorials continuously.
The report simply stated that the capital city could not be without the Left Guard. The implication was clearly that someone was needed to replace Yuchi Zhong.
Yang Hongye was quite good at acting and he also spoke up for Yuchi Zhong, which made the old emperor quite pleased.
However, as more and more people submitted memorials, the old emperor ultimately lacked the confidence that Yuchi Zhong would be able to return victorious.
Amidst the ministers' arguing, someone was finally appointed to replace the Left Guard Army. It was Cui Cheng, whom Yang Hongye had arranged in advance.
The reason why the court was so lively now was that Zhou Yi had sent a letter back from Donggu Pass, saying that the foreign troops had withdrawn and Yuchi Zhong was now rushing back.
Well, now it’s interesting. The former General of the Left Guard is on the way, and the current General of the Left Guard has already taken office.
The ministers were scolded by the old emperor and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak, but since things had come to this point, they could only find a way to calm the matter down.
As for Shangshu Ling Lu Youwei, he has been in hiding again since he last said that troops should be sent.
The old man just focused on the important points. Foreign invasion was a big deal, and he was too lazy to get involved in court disputes.
However, when Cui Cheng was promoted to work in the capital, there was also a backup plan.
The general meaning is that if Yuchi Zhong returns triumphantly, he will be promoted and given a raise.
But it sounds good, all the vacancies in the capital are filled, so the only way to get promoted is to transfer out of the capital.
This is also the effect Yang Hongye wants. By transferring Yuchi Zhong away from the capital, he will not be hindered if there is any action.
Yang Hongye also knew that Yuchi Zhong was not against him, but Yuchi Zhong was just a stubborn person and loyal to the court.
If he could get promoted later, Yuchi Zhong would be someone he could use. Although he wasn't his confidant, at least he knew him inside and out.
That's why he ordered people to target the Sixth Prince this time instead of Yuchi Zhong.
The Darong court was accustomed to lively discussions, and it took a long time to come up with a conclusion.
The court meeting was almost over and no explanation was given.
The old emperor snorted and said,
"Everyone, go back and think carefully about how to handle this matter. The Ministry of Personnel will draft a set of regulations and submit them to us within the next two days."
Then he turned his sleeves and left.
After the court was dismissed, all the ministers left the palace.
Yang Hongye was also very busy. He went back to continue his small meeting, preparing to see where it would be most appropriate to push Yuchi Zhong.
…
These days.
Jiang Hai was taken by his wife to live with her parents.
Because there was nothing to do at Jiang's house, I would always accompany my wife back to her parents' home when I had nothing to do in the first two days.
Later, Yuchi Ziling said that they might as well live in the general's mansion.
Jiang Hai naturally had no objection, the young master was a casual person.
Then, it was very magical. When I lived in Jiang's house, I would go to the General's Mansion every day when I had nothing to do. Now that I live in the General's Mansion, I go out and wander around from time to time.
The young couple seemed to have a tacit understanding and loved going out.
That day, when the two of them wanted to go out and have fun again, they ran into Guo Qianqian and others who came to look for Yuchi Ziling.
As a result, he failed to have fun and went back to entertain guests.
Jiang Hai and his companions had returned to the capital without telling anyone else, but in the past few days, the news had spread from one person to another.
Especially outside the general's mansion, the old lady Sun, who Jiang Hai used to call Sister Sun, was so excited when she saw Jiang Hai that she treated him more like her own grandson.
So the news that the young lady and her husband from the Yuchi family had returned gradually spread.
Of course, it wasn’t just Old Lady Sun’s efforts alone, but also Yuchi Shuang’s sisters.
Jiang Hai composed a poem that day, and Yuchi Shuang took it to discuss with others.
Among Guo Qianqian and a few others, only Guo Qianqian had seen Jiang Hai from afar before, the others had never seen him.
Out of curiosity, they formed a group to come and visit. Jiang Hai was like a monkey in a zoo, forced to work.
Young Master Jiang could only helplessly pretend to be gentle and polite. After all, it was not easy to offend his wife.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Hai felt really uncomfortable, so he stood up and said,
"I have something to say to my mother-in-law. You guys can chat slowly."
Then he ran away.
After much thought, Jiang Hai finally ran to the room where Wenzhi was resting.
