After saying his last words, Babu was in a difficult position.
He was considering what he should do if the other side really refused to hand over the person.
Although Liu Jinghong was quite famous in Anguo, her prestige was mainly reflected in the imperial court. He did not believe that all the sects in Anguo would turn against the Western Frontier for the sake of Liu Jinghong's younger brother.
However, if the rocket is launched, a full-scale war between Western Xinjiang and Anguo is inevitable. Although someone had assured them before they set off that if a full-scale war broke out, he would act in advance and Anguo would be no threat, Babu still did not want to take the risk.
If that person wants to fight, let him fight amongst himself first. They are good at this kind of thing in the Western Frontier, but they don't want to become that person's tool for rebellion!
Especially since it might offend other sects, Babu had a headache just thinking about it. While they were at a stalemate, he suddenly heard a reply from beside him.
"I'm right here..."
Following the voice, Babu finally confirmed that the speaker was the "little eunuch" who was embracing Empress Yueyao!
Before he could speak, Chamu cursed, "Are you fucking looking for death? We're talking, what are you doing interrupting?"
"Can't I just stab him?"
"cannot."
"Then who can I seduce?"
"You can't have anyone's penis inserted!"
"Oh, okay, then I won't do it."
"..."
After Chamu finished speaking, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did his words sound so awkward?
"Are you fucking asking for it—"
"Shut up!"
Babu was furious. He was already annoyed, and Chamu kept nagging in his ear.
He said to the half-general beside him, "Take Chamu away, I don't want to see him right now!"
"Yes, General Wan!"
Banjiang had long disliked Chamu, so he naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He cursed a few times and led Chamu aside.
What did you just say?
Babu then looked at Jing Zhe and asked, he had long felt that something was wrong with Jing Zhe, how could a eunuch be so calm in his rebuttal to Chamu?
"I'm not going to insert it anymore?"
"..."
Babu paused for a moment, then said fiercely, "I'll say the first sentence!"
"Oh, I told you there's no need to call me. I'm the person you're looking for, Jing Zhe!"
"Are you Jing Zhe?"
Babu looked him up and down, then shook his head and said, "Aren't you a eunuch? How could you be Jing Zhe? Or is Jing Zhe a eunuch?"
His mission was to bring Liu Jinghong's younger brother back to Kadian by any means necessary. As for who Jing Zhe really was, Babu didn't know.
But... how could Liu Jinghong's younger brother be a eunuch?
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he couldn't help but add in his mind: You guys are the eunuchs, not now, but you'll be in the future!
"I never said I was a eunuch!"
Not far away, one could faintly hear Banjiang reprimanding Chamu.
Babu's suspicion didn't lessen; in fact, it intensified. He stared at Jing Zhe and continued, "How can you prove you are Jing Zhe?"
"..."
Having lived this long, Jing Zhe had never encountered such a difficult question as "how to prove that I am me," and retorted, "Then how can you prove that I am not me?"
Why should I prove it?
"The burden of proof lies with the one who has the suspicion. If you can prove I am not me, then I am not me. But conversely, if you cannot prove I am not me, then prove I am me. It's that simple!"
"..."
What Jing Zhe called "simple" was anything but simple to Babu, who got completely confused and got lost in the details.
At this moment, Jing Zhe spoke up again: "What, since the Prince of Jin sent Babuwan to arrest me, you didn't even give me a portrait?"
"No…"
Babu blurted it out without thinking, only realizing his mistake afterward. He looked at Jing Zhe with shock in his eyes.
His reaction, observed by Jing Zhe, further confirmed his earlier suspicions. He then laughed and said, "It seems that the Prince of Jin is quite incompetent. Not only did he not tell Babuwan what I look like, but he also did not tell you my true identity. What does Babuwan think is the reason for this?"
"Why?"
"Because he's afraid that if he tells you I can represent all the sects in Anguo, you won't have the guts to come here and arrest me! You should have heard it just now, if you touch me, it's equivalent to making an enemy of all the sects in Anguo. The heavy cavalry regiment is powerful, but do you think they are more powerful than all the sects in Anguo combined?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Chamu was still unconvinced even after being half-pulled aside. He was already planning how to teach Jing Zhe a lesson on the way back, so he was afraid that Babu would believe him and release him!
Seeing Babu's conflicted expression, it seemed quite possible, so he added, "General Wan, he's lying! Representing all the sects of Anguo? Can he represent Tongtianque? It's obviously a lie!"
Babu suddenly realized what was going on. Tongtianque was the trump card in the hands of Prince Jin, and Prince Jin had ordered his arrest, so he must have a grudge against him. So how could Tongtianque possibly listen to him?
It seems he really was lying!
Moreover, even if his identity was extraordinary, capturing him was still the king's order, which he could not disobey. So Babu said fiercely, "Are you really Jing Zhe?"
"Genuine, guaranteed!"
Jing Zhe proudly raised his head, thinking that if this guy knew what was good for him, he would definitely let him leave. Little did he know that after receiving a positive reply, Babu waved his hand and said, "Alright, since you are Jing Zhe, then come with me! Our king also wants to see you!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to instruct his half-generals and thousand-generals: "Men, protect Young Master Jing well!"
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Chamu, who had just been dragged away, made a frantic statement. Babu glanced at him with a furrowed brow and said to Banjiang, "You keep an eye on Chamu and don't let him get close."
"Yes, General Wan, rest assured, with me here, I will not let Chamu take another step forward!"
The half-general was extremely excited upon receiving the order.
Next, the archers extinguished the fire arrows, and all the heavy cavalry regiments turned around and, at Babu's command, rushed off in the opposite direction from Liangzhou City.
Jing Zhe and Empress Yueyao's yaks were positioned in the very center of the camp, moving slowly forward. As the journey became bumpy, Jing Zhe inevitably had frequent close contact with Empress Yueyao, smelling her unique fragrance and watching her neck and earlobes gradually turn red, which was quite a unique experience.
As the heavy cavalry regiment receded into the distance, the three sect leaders looked at Liu Jinghong anxiously and said, "General Jinghong, what do we do now? Should we all secretly follow them and ambush them tonight?"
Although Liu Jinghong was also worried, she chose to trust Jing Zhe and shook her head, saying, "No need. Zhe'er just secretly told me his plan. He should be back by tomorrow morning! All the sect leaders should take their disciples back to rest for the night. We'll need your help again tomorrow morning!"
Wang Fujun and the others stopped insisting and withdrew. Liu Jinghong didn't linger and immediately went back to prepare to make hand grenades...
