Hearing the man's words, Chaoge quickly straightened her expression and concealed the joy between her brows.
"Don't worry. Even though I am from the Canglan Dynasty, I will not infiltrate your Dongxiang's military camp as a spy."
Thinking back to the man beside Chaoge, he seemed to call Chaoge "Madam" at that time and doted on her.
A man with that status and those rumors would certainly not let his woman come to another country as a spy.
Immediately, the man believed it completely!
"I believe Madam is not such a person, but why did Madam do this?"
"I did it for my brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law? Who is Madam's brother-in-law?"
Hearing this, Chaoge looked at the man warily, "Let me ask you, are you Queen Rong's man?"
"Ma'am, I am His Majesty's man."
Chaoge...
"Your Majesty's people, then why are you with the Southern King?"
"The King of the South brought the Emperor's edict and the tiger talisman and ordered me to lead the army to the border of the Canglan Dynasty. As a subject, I naturally have to obey your orders."
Chaoge...
As a cautious person, Chaoge was actually skeptical about the man's words.
But sometimes, it’s just a gamble.
What if he was telling the truth? At least she wouldn't have to go to all that trouble.
Even if he was lying, he would have to bear the consequences. At most it would just be a little more laborious.
Besides, the communication in this era was already backward, so it was normal that this person didn't know what was happening in the capital, and it was reasonable for him to be deceived by the King of the South.
"To tell you the truth, you are far away at the border, and actually your Eastern Prime Minister has been in chaos for a long time. But now Queen Rong is in power, and the Emperor has been under house arrest by her. Now that you know the truth, you can make a new choice.
If you choose Empress Rong, she is in power, and this incident may give you a good chance to get promoted and make a fortune. But if you choose to defend your emperor to the death, you and your family will only have a 30% chance of survival."
When Chaoge said this, the man's pupils widened!
"The imperial capital is in chaos?!"
"Hey, you choose first. I have also cured your Southern King of his poison, so you don't have to worry about him dying. If you follow him, you will become one of the first loyal subjects after he ascends the throne."
Chaoge said it on purpose, but when the man heard Chaoge's words, his expression became painful, and he even gritted his teeth!
"I never thought that I, Yijin, would be so blind as to follow a beast who wanted to usurp the throne and kill his father and the king. I even naively withdrew my 100,000 troops from Beixiang City. I am so stupid!"
"Let's not talk about this for now. I want to know what the imperial edict that ordered you to send troops said."
"The imperial edict said that the King of Qi was detained in the Canglan Dynasty, and my Eastern Prime Minister asked me to cede territory as a deal in exchange for releasing the King of Qi. I..."
Before Yijin could finish, Chaoge raised his hand to stop him from saying the next word.
"I understand. Let me tell you the truth. The King of Qi is doing very well in Canglan now. He is treated as a distinguished guest and enjoys music and dance every day. He is so happy!"
Yijin!
"Why would the Southern King lie to me like this? But the imperial edict and the military token are real!"
I have to say that Yijin is a very gullible person. No wonder he fell into other people's trap, was slandered, and was stripped of his official position. But the 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands are really attractive!
She was so devoted and went through so much trouble to help Dongfang Yexuan and his grandson. She didn't know what good things Dongxiang Kingdom had. In the future, she would definitely let them take out good things to thank her!
"The item must be real. Maybe the imperial seal is in the hands of the queen now."
Hearing Chaoge's words, Yijin's expression suddenly changed in anger and he looked at Chaoge vigilantly.
"Benefactor, who do you belong to? You saved the King of the South, and you said all these things, you..."
"Okay, I'm going to be frank. I don't belong to anyone."
Yijin!
"My benefactor, please stop teasing me. Can you untie my acupuncture points first?"
Seeing Yijin like this, Chaoge took out a silver needle with a smile and directly unblocked the acupuncture points on his body.
She has some good stuff from the system on her, so it is not that easy for Yijin to kill her.
His body is invulnerable to swords and spears. As long as he dares to draw his sword, Chaoge will definitely leave his body intact!
Seeing Chaoge using silver needles to unblock the acupuncture points, Yijin got up from the ground, looked at the empty tent, and thought of the people who came in with him.
"My benefactor, there were ten people who came in with me. Where are they?"
"You don't need to ask more about this. I want you to withdraw your troops and take your 100,000 soldiers to Anlou City. Are you willing?"
Yijin was caught off guard and opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say he didn't want to, but it seemed that he was facing his benefactor and couldn't say it.
After considering his words for a while, Yijin spoke again.
"My benefactor, although you have done a favor to my family, I am a minister of the Eastern Prime Minister, and these soldiers were given to me by His Majesty. My benefactor, you are from the Canglan Dynasty. Forgive my status, I cannot agree to your request, but the lives of the 23 people in my family were saved by you. When I bring the troops back to Beixiang City, I will die as an apology, okay?"
What a twist!
Chaoge looked at Yijin in front of him, took a deep breath, and said that he admired his loyalty, but it also made him a little crazy!
"Lord Yicheng is really a loyal subject, but I want to say that I want you to lead the troops back to Anlou City to help your Majesty recapture the imperial city. Are you willing?"
After being led in circles by Chaoge again, Yijin felt particularly racked today.
