The sudden call of "Commander Yi" frightened Yi Zhengjin so much that his heart instantly rose to his throat.
He quickly glanced at the city gate guards, and seeing that they didn't seem to hear him, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to glare at the deputy general beside him.
"Just shut up and wait patiently."
The deputy general stared at Yi Zhengjin who suddenly got angry in shock, pulled the corner of his lips, and muttered in dissatisfaction,
"Humph, since when did the city gate guards dare to use chicken feathers as a token of authority?"
He had never waited like this at the city gate before when entering or leaving the capital.
Normally, the guards at the city gate should have opened the gate as soon as they saw them from a distance.
The lieutenants raised their heads and glanced at the unfamiliar gate guards on the gate tower, their brows slightly furrowed.
"Where did this new recruit come from? He has no sense at all."
Alas, it’s also annoying to encounter inconsiderate guards at the city gate.
The deputy generals murmured to each other and looked at each other. Seeing Yi Zhengjin's murderous eyes, they all shut their mouths in embarrassment.
Just wait. Commander Yi is willing to wait, so it’s okay for them to wait too.
After such a long journey, just take a rest.
It would take at least half an hour to get the message from the city gate to the palace and then back, and some people had to wait.
......
Imperial Study...
"Look how many soldiers there are!?"
Shen Yong knocked on the table and glanced at the guards at the city gate.
The city gate guard bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it looks like there are about 100,000 of them."
Ji Guangda frowned doubtfully and looked at Shen Yong.
"Your Majesty, could these soldiers who suddenly appeared be reinforcements sent by the deposed emperor from the south?"
"No." Ji Guangda shook his head. "If these soldiers came from the south, they would have to pass through Menglan City and Danyun City."
"That's right." Ji Guangda's eyes lit up and he continued,
"When I was flying to pick up the Queen Mother, I found a large number of people resting near Menglan City."
"When I came back, I saw these troops again. I guess they should be the capital's troops, but they just happened to be not in the capital."
Chen Yong smiled and glanced at Ji Guangda who was analyzing the situation.
"I asked Commander Yi to take these people out of the capital."
"You are to immediately take a group of elite soldiers to the city gate to receive Commander Yi's 100,000-man army."
"Tie up all the lieutenants surrounding Commander Yi, and bring Commander Yi to me."
Ji Guangda widened his eyes in shock and looked at Shen Yong in disbelief.
"......yes!!"
My God, no wonder he found so few defenders in the capital when he entered it.
It turned out that Emperor Qianhuang had already sent his accomplices to lead most of the troops from the capital out.
He was saying, when has Emperor Qianhuang ever fought an unprepared battle?
Ji Guangda received the emperor's order and immediately ordered five thousand crossbowmen to rush to the city gate.
This situation frightened all the ministers in the capital, and they arranged people to go to the city gate to inquire about the news.
An hour later, the news that Commander Yi and 100,000 soldiers were captured by Duke Ji spread throughout the capital in an instant.
One hundred thousand soldiers, like beggars, were escorted to the military camp by five thousand crossbowmen.
More than ten deputy generals were tied up and sent into the palace together with Commander Yi.
The confused lieutenants stretched their necks and shouted,
"Commander Yi, what is going on? Why are you kidnapping us?"
"Yeah, it wasn't us who said we wanted to go back to the capital."
"We all obey Commander Yi. Why are you tying us up?"
"Commander Yi, you have to save us..."
“.......”
The deputy generals were overwhelmed when they saw Ji Guangda escorting them into the palace.
Shouldn’t Guard General Ji Guangda be at the northwest border?
Also, isn’t the official uniform that Ji Guangda is wearing a bit too high of a level?
They have only been away from the capital for a few days. What on earth has happened in the capital?
Along the way, the deputy generals either shouted questions at Ji Guangda or cried out that they were wronged and put all the blame on Commander Yi.
Why tie them up and not Yi Zhengjin?
They were all ordered to follow Yi Zhengjin out, and they had to listen to Yi Zhengjin when they came back. There is no reason to blame only them.
Yi Zhengjin kept a tense face throughout the whole process, pursed his lips and said nothing.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
When he saw Ji Guangda, he guessed that Shen Yong's rebellion must have succeeded.
But as long as he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he can't let his guard down and talk nonsense.
If the wrong thing is said, the entire Yi family will be finished.
Ji Guangda looked at Yi Zhengjin in surprise, his eyebrows slightly raised.
When he brought the crossbowmen to dismount Yi Zhengjin, Yi Zhengjin remained very calm throughout and didn't even ask a single question.
He didn't ask him a single question along the way. His face was like a mask, without any expression fluctuation. He was a ruthless man.
However, these deputy generals, although tall and strong, were not as brave as Yi Zhengjin, and they kept talking all the way.
These deputy generals either threw the responsibility onto Commander Yi, or cried for mercy, or pulled him aside to ask why he had arrested them, making a lot of noise.
"Come in!"
Ji Guangda stood at the door of the imperial study and raised his chin towards Yi Zhengjin and others.
Yi Zhengjin looked at Ji Guangda deeply, took a deep breath, and walked towards the imperial study.
The deputy generals who had been screaming all the way now all kept their lips tightly shut and followed Yi Zhengjin silently.
