"What's up?"
"I suddenly remembered that General Wang's ancestral home is also in Yibei, the place where Qin Chun was born."
Wang Qi and Qin Chun didn't really have any relationship, but the matter of the clan was unclear.
If the two are related, then today's events can be explained.
Normally, this would be insignificant, but things are different on the battlefield.
Wang Qi was already arrogant and self-important, and coupled with his compassion, he would definitely want to give Qin Chun a chance.
The initial intention was good, but it was out of step with the times. It was incredibly foolish to let selfish motives interfere with such an important matter!
After confirming the reason, Qi Yong was so angry that he trembled all over. "You old bastard, if anything happens to His Majesty, I will make sure that his whole family suffers a terrible death."
After saying that, he left hastily to arrange things, ignoring Jiang Nuan's reaction.
After finding the reason, Jiang Nuan was not happy; instead, she became even more depressed.
She had initially only felt a vague unease, but now she was almost certain that this was far from over.
After thinking about it, I finally went to the front.
"Has Madam Jiang rested enough?"
"More or less," Jiang Nuan said with a forced smile.
She was getting increasingly frustrated with the current situation and wanted nothing more than to grab Wang Qi and beat him up, but the 300,000-strong army still needed his command, and she couldn't scare the old man.
Ji Xuan's face was very dark.
After listening to Qi Yong's analysis, his heart sank.
This matter is very important. If we can deal a heavy blow to the powerful families in one fell swoop, it will definitely save us a lot of trouble in the future.
Therefore, after much deliberation, they chose General Wang, the most senior and still vigorous veteran, to take the lead.
But then, this unexpected thing happened.
“Lady Jiang,” Ji Xuan’s voice was hoarse, “you could have trapped 100,000 people with an array?”
“It’s impossible,” Jiang Nuan shook her head. “The formation that trapped so many people is two or three times larger than Wolong Manor. There aren’t enough materials.”
"I see!"
Ji Xuan was very disappointed.
The current predicament has left him unsure how to handle it.
They had no reason not to trust General Wang.
So many unexpected things have happened before midnight; who knows how much trouble will arise after the signal is sent?
Ji Xuan was still sorting out the situation when a guard suddenly brought someone over. "Master, this person has been acting suspiciously, so we caught him."
"Who are you?" Ji Xuan looked at the newcomer sharply. "What brings you here?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and soon died.
Upon seeing this, Ji Xuan's entire aura turned cold.
Inside the camp, Wang Qi was meeting with Deputy General Cheng.
"How is it?" His voice was urgent. "Is there anything unusual?"
"No," Deputy General Cheng recounted his experience. "After I explained my purpose, I specifically observed Commander Qin's expression. There was nothing unusual about it. He also accepted the military order and promised to stay at the garrison."
Deputy General Cheng was very pleased.
This kind of job is not easy to do. If the other party really has ulterior motives, you might lose your head.
He couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
Fortunately, I was overthinking it; they were behaving themselves and had no intention of rebelling.
“That’s excellent,” Wang Qi said smugly, stroking his beard. “I knew he wouldn’t make a mistake.”
"General Qin is always smart, he must know what he should and shouldn't do."
Upon hearing this, General Wang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "Indeed, if he were muddle-headed, he wouldn't have reached his current position."
"Isn't this the best way?"
"Indeed, in this case, the rabble of three thousand men is nothing to worry about."
Suddenly feeling relaxed, Wang Qi walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
However, his smile didn't last long.
"Be on alert! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Upon hearing the report from the guards that a large number of troops were approaching, Qi Yong immediately began shouting at the top of his lungs without saying a word.
"Is there really an enemy attack?" Jiang Nuan, disregarding her surprise, scooped up Ji Xuan beside her and placed him in the carriage. She then set up a formation. "Stay here and don't move. I'll go take a look. An San, protect your master."
"yes!"
The incident happened so suddenly that Ji Xuan had no time to react.
Realizing that Jiang Nuan had stuffed him into the carriage like a piece of clothing, his face immediately turned green. "How dare she touch me like that? What kind of behavior is this?"
Even knowing the situation was critical, An San couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "Madam is doing this for His Majesty's own good. We don't know what's going on ahead. Swords have no eyes, His Majesty's safety is of utmost importance."
"Am I a person who fears death and clings to life?"
An San ignored these words and focused on being a competent bodyguard.
Seeing this, Ji Xuan snorted coldly and got up to walk out.
As soon as I reached the entrance, I felt an invisible barrier. "Is this an array?"
"right!"
"Dark Three, try cutting me with your knife."
"Yes, ma'am."
An San tried to pierce it with the tip of his knife, but it wouldn't go through. He tried to increase his strength, but it was still no use. Even after exhausting all his methods, the result remained unchanged.
After realizing he really couldn't get out, he closed his eyes wearily, thinking, "Let's just wait."
Ji Xuan looked somewhat depressed.
Although Jiang Nuan meant well, he didn't want to stay cooped up in the carriage.
Ahead, with a formidable enemy at hand, Qi Yong and Wang Qi's argument grew increasingly heated.
Qi Yong felt that Wang Qi was unreliable and wanted to regain the military command seal so that he could take command himself.
Upon realizing he had carelessly caused trouble, Wang Qi was determined to make amends and refused to back down an inch.
For a time, the two sides became increasingly deadlocked.
Jiang Nuan sensed the approaching footsteps and heard the heavy shouts; she felt like killing someone.
"Both of you, stop making things worse. Can't you each take a step back?"
“Of course not,” Wang Qi insisted. “The most taboo thing in the military is the division of power. There absolutely cannot be two commanders-in-chief.”
"Fool, you wouldn't be in such a passive position if it weren't for you. With a formidable enemy at hand, you're still thinking about your own petty schemes. Once this is over, see how I deal with you."
And none of these rebels from the Thousand Character Camp will escape.
"Qi Yong, come here and let General Wang command the army."
"No, he's too stupid. I don't trust him."
"I was just confused for a moment and caused such a disaster. I will make amends as I see fit. You don't know anything about military strategy and tactics, so I am even more worried about entrusting the task to you."
"It's clearly you..."
"Qi Yong, shut up!" Jiang Nuan's voice turned dangerous. After speaking, she turned to Wang Qi and said, "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. General Wang, please take good care of us in the upcoming battles."
"Don't worry, Madam Protector, I know what's important."
After giving Qi Yong a fierce glare, she immediately went to the front to make various arrangements.
"Madam Jiang, why did you let him command the army? Aren't you afraid we'll all die here?"
"Otherwise, you try?" Jiang Nuan's forehead veins throbbed. "Are you really capable?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yong was speechless.
He really wasn't sure about this, but Wang Qi was truly untrustworthy.
Finally, he spoke in a sinister tone, "Once a traitor, always a traitor. This old scoundrel is not worth trusting at all!"
