Ji Wan, who was out of breath after climbing the mountain, gave Xie Xun the middle finger in his heart when he saw this.
When Xie Xun saw Ji Wan being brought up by the soldiers, his eyes lit up:
"Xun, the second son of Xie family, greets Her Royal Highness Princess Yongkang." After saying this, he lifted up his skirt and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Ji Wan.
"Stand up. The place where Mr. Xie invited me to come has quite nice scenery." Ji Wan pretended to be warm and helped up Xie Xun who was already kneeling on the ground.
Xie Xun personally raised his hand and poured Ji Wan a cup of tea. "Your Highness, you are joking. Thanks to you, I can also come to Fanzhou for a stroll."
"I was trapped in the royal capital before, so naturally I didn't see much. If the late emperor hadn't conferred me with the title of Qingshi Province, I might never have come to the nearby Fan Province in my life, and naturally I wouldn't have met Mr. Xie. It's all thanks to Mr. Xie that I've been able to do this."
Ji Wan and Xie Xun had fought each other to the death on the battlefield before, each hoping the other would die as quickly as possible. Now that they were so close, it was naturally impossible for them to wish each other well, and they were just pretending to be friendly with each other.
But pretending to be ignorant when knowing the truth is Ji Wan's strong point. She had made up her mind today. If Xie Xun didn't make his purpose clear, she would just treat it as coming here for a meal.
"Your Highness, you and I hit it off right away, so why be so polite? Xun invited you here today just to deal with that matter, and from now on, you and I will be grasshoppers on the same rope." Xie Xun looked at the east with a meaningful look on his face, as if to say, "You understand, I understand too."
Ji Wan raised an eyebrow, "What is Xie Qing saying? Why don't I understand?"
"Your Highness, you didn't know about this?" Xie Xun's eyes finally showed some genuine surprise. "The current emperor, who killed his father to ascend the throne, sent General Lou Shao, a retainer of the Cui family, with 100,000 elite soldiers to suppress the bandits..."
"Oh? A retainer of the Cui family, a General of the Cavalry? That's quite a feat. If my father knew that the unfilial son who killed me and usurped the throne wanted to eliminate all his children, I wonder if he would be able to rest in peace. Alas, my father had clearly prepared everything. Even if my brother hadn't killed me, that position would have been his in the future! His actions are truly a disgrace to my father's sincerity."
Ji Wan pretended to be very sad, as if she was uncomfortable and heartbroken being chased by her own brothers.
Yao Cheng and Xie Xun followed Ji Wan with inquiring eyes. It didn't matter whether Ji Qin was favored by the late emperor or not. What mattered was that according to Ji Wan, the late emperor had clearly left an imperial edict to pass on the throne.
If the late emperor really left behind an imperial edict to pass on the throne, and Ji Qin could find some false evidence to prove that he did not kill his father to ascend the throne, then all of these dissatisfied families would be labeled as traitors.
"Alas, Your Highness, why is this happening? But Your Highness did kill his father to seize the throne. This fact cannot be refuted! How could the Donglin royal family tolerate Your Highness being so presumptuous!"
In order to make Ji Qin's patricide and seizure of the throne a reality, they certainly could not allow the imperial edict of succession, whose location was unknown, to spread throughout the world.
Thinking of this, Yao Cheng and Xie Xun subconsciously looked at each other with flickering eyes.
Ji Yuanheng did leave an imperial edict, but this edict is currently in Xiling Mingyue's hands and has nothing to do with Ji Qin at all.
When Ji Wan found out about this, he was shocked by Xiling Mingyue's cleverness. He didn't know what method she used to get a blank imperial edict with the imperial seal on it.
This imperial edict is of great significance.
If Ji Wan really succeeds in the future, this blank imperial edict of succession will give him at least 20% of the say.
"Yes, I don't know where the General of the Cavalry sent by my brother is now. Thank you for telling me this matter. I am very grateful!" Ji Wan came here today to stabilize Xie Xun, at least to prevent him from sending troops before the spring plowing. Regardless of whether the General of the Cavalry came or not.
If Xie Xun and the others could be stabilized, Ji Wan and his soldiers would be able to temporarily catch their breath.
"Your Highness is too polite. The General of the Cavalry has really arrived. Xun still relies on Your Highness."
Xie Xun received news that General Lou Shao had brought 100,000 soldiers to suppress bandits. Of course, the "bandit" was originally Ji Wan. But now that he had swallowed up all the 100,000 soldiers that originally belonged to the government, the "bandit" naturally included himself.
In fact, if he wanted to protect himself safely and then escape, it was very simple. He just had to bring back the 8,000 soldiers he had brought with him, and then run out of the war zone as if nothing had happened and return to Chenjun.
But these 100,000 soldiers of the government have now become soldiers of his Xie family. If he is asked to give up the fat meat that is already in his mouth, how can he be willing to do that!
"Haha, of course. Even if Mr. Xie didn't tell me, I would definitely help you!" After saying that, Ji Wan took the lead in bowing to Xie Xun and said, "Ji Fuguang, we will still rely on you in the future."
Even though Ji Wan and Xie Xun fought to the death, that was when no one could threaten them temporarily. Their previous target was the territory of Shicheng, and their ultimate goal was to get Ji Qin out of that position.
But the current situation is very different from before. The two of them have a common enemy, and the enemy's goal is to get rid of them. Naturally, the two of them will turn their guns together and aim at the enemy with a different goal.
"Xie Mingyu, I hope Your Highness will take good care of me in the future." Xie Xun is also a smart man. He can hear from Ji Wan's words that Ji Wan has agreed to his request for cooperation. The two of them temporarily reached an agreement to work together to deal with Lou Shao.
Although it was the middle of winter, the dancers on the mountain still maintained a decent smile and danced in the white snow wearing bright red cool gauze.
The musicians are fine, they can wear thick cotton clothes.
"Brother Mingyu is still living a comfortable life. He is on the battlefield, but he still has a beautiful woman to accompany him." Ji Wan sighed and rubbed his red hands.
Ji Wan felt cold for them. She herself was freezing. Although the Foundation Establishment Stage was a level higher than the Qi Refining Stage, it was still within the human realm. When the cool wind blew, she still felt cold.
"Your Highness, you are joking. It's just a toy. Just take it with you. It won't cause any harm." Xie Xun picked up the wine cup and poured another glass for Ji Wan.
The dancers were all raised at home and their status was almost the same as that of slaves. Xie Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with having a beautiful woman accompany him on the battlefield, so he thought Ji Wan's words were just a greeting.
"Mingyu is quite a playboy. I wonder if your family has arranged a marriage for you?" Unable to bear the cold, Ji Wan dragged the charcoal brazier towards himself.
"My mother has chosen a good person a long time ago, and we will get married next spring." When Xie Xun mentioned his fiancée, a slight blush appeared on his face.
