At that moment, Ji Shaoshuai burst into tears, his mind filled with thoughts of: "Father, I'm so sorry, your son is going to leave you without an heir!"
"Uh, this was just an accident, don't move! Can you recognize me? Zhao Zhongkai, your former deputy!"
To prevent her subordinates from struggling further and causing any awkward misunderstandings for both of them, Yu Ling directly revealed her identity.
Young Marshal Ji forced himself to calm down. He didn't know if he was afraid that the more the other person resisted, the more excited they would become, or if he was intimidated by the slap. He really stopped moving.
She turned the person over, sat him up, and untied all the ropes except for the ones on his hands. Yu Ling couldn't stand the horrible sight of the Emperor's New Clothes, so she draped her own chieftain's coat over him.
"Young Marshal Ji, you don't want Commander Ji to know about your embarrassing incident, do you?" Yu Ling was referring to the fact that he had lost to the underground party and was beaten and forced to leave the city in a sorry state.
What Young Marshal Ji heard: You don't want your father to know about what happened to you today with a man (or something he didn't know while you were unconscious), do you?
"Zhao Zhongkai, what exactly are you trying to do? I valued you so much back then, making you my deputy, and you turned around and sold my military intelligence! And now you're going to do it again!"
"I was blinded by money back then, and I know I was wrong!" But I still dare to do it!
Yu Ling believed that those were all done by the original owner of the body and had nothing to do with her, speaking with righteous indignation.
"You've already punished me with bounties and hunted me down, so let's put the past behind us, shall we?"
How could I not turn the page? I'm practically wearing your clothes on!
Seeing that Young Marshal Ji nodded in agreement, Yu Ling took out a huge map of the distribution of power from her pocket... from the pocket draped over Young Marshal Ji's body.
This is a map he copied from the system and compiled based on all the information of the original owner; its value is self-evident.
"Look, the underground party is so rampant that it's impossible to take it down in a short time. Why don't we take advantage of D City's recruitment and sneak in to stab them in the back and occupy D City? My plan is... like this... First, it will solve your father's, no, Marshal Ji's, urgent problem. Second, it can also remove your title of Young Marshal Ji and make you a little Marshal Ji!"
Speaking of backstabbing, perhaps because she was used to pretending to be the original owner of this body, Yu Ling's tone became excited.
"Let's work together, you provide the equipment and I'll provide the manpower, and we'll launch an inside attack on them. We can even get Commander Ji's help with the operation, flanking them from both inside and outside. That guy in D City will never dream of this!"
Young Marshal Ji: You speak so fluently. Did you arrange it this way when you betrayed me? No, back then you were alone, now you have a bandit's den.
After hearing Yu Ling's detailed plan, Marshal Ji realized he had been overthinking things; Yu Ling had indeed come to him to do something big. His reputation was now completely ruined, and he had disgraced his father. If he went back now, he probably wouldn't even be able to remain a marshal.
Are you sure you can succeed?
"Of course! The underground party and Commander Ji, who is worried about you, will definitely fight. D City will be less vigilant, and I know some disguise techniques, so there will be absolutely no problem!"
The main problem is that the underground party can't be taken down, it's easier to take down a city, and besides the female lead and Gao Zhuoyi, whose friend or foe is unclear, it seems like he can't stay anywhere else in his social network.
Going to the outer city to make a living is more dangerous. It's better to start as the leader. The situation is already clear. Even if Young Marshal Ji doesn't want to do it, Yu Ling won't allow it!
"Since you put it that way, fine, I'll take your bet!"
Now, the number one enemy in Young Marshal Ji's heart has become the underground party members. There are even more annoying people now, and he finds his former subordinate, Yu Ling, much more agreeable.
"But if you try to screw me over again, it won't just be a matter of putting a bounty on your head. I'll have my father send troops to hunt you down, and I'll also take your clothes... ugh! In short, the consequences will be severe!"
Yu Ling didn't care at all. Once the matter was settled, he would be the first to betray the original owner. After all, the original owner's character was one to betray others. At most, he would be given a position second only to the commander-in-chief as a consolation.
Without further ado, Young Marshal Ji and Yu Ling led a group of bandits disguised as refugees and infiltrated D City, which was recruiting soldiers. Coincidentally, Jiang Zhicheng had been swindled out of a lot of money by Yu Ling, and Yu Ling, disguised as a bandit, had secretly stockpiled a batch of goods from him at a low price, so all the expenses after the rebellion would not be a problem.
After a few people infiltrated D City, they managed to get in because they were strong, knew how to fire a gun, and pretended to be strangers. It was the shifty-eyed man who was rejected, supposedly because he looked too scary and affected the city's appearance.
With Yu Ling, a master of disguise, leading the team to skillfully steal intelligence, Young Marshal Ji also learned the art of feigning innocence. He spoke and acted like a loyal follower, and even tempered his temper.
There was no way around it; after experiencing the rope knot at Yu Ling's place, he had developed a detached and indifferent attitude towards everything.
Yu Ling also established a connection with the underground party in D City. Her new identity was still that of an outsider of the underground party, and most of her missions were to anonymously pass on messages. As she became more familiar with the underground party, she could even hear secrets fed back to her by others.
For example, after the death of Marshal Ji's only son, he recklessly fought against the underground party in his area, causing chaos in several cities under his control, and even the surrounding forces looked down on him.
For example, Gao Zhuoyi and Ji Shaoshuai parted on bad terms, and Gao Zhuoyi moved to an unknown place, taking with him a large number of his followers (undercover agents). He seemed to have more support than Ji Shaoshuai, the person in power.
Then there's Nan Miaoyin. After Yu Ling left, she was waiting for the storm to pass so that Yu Ling would come back to her. She even became friends with Gao Zhuoyi because of a single sentence from Yu Ling, just wanting to wait for him to come back to her.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no news. Yu Ling was still a low-level soldier in D City, or rather, a high-level player.
Perhaps Nan Miaoyin was nostalgic, or perhaps she was afraid that Yuling wouldn't be able to find her when she returned. In any case, no matter how fiercely the underground party fought against Commander Ji, she remained steadfast in the karaoke bar.
As the days went by, the underground party was almost completely withdrawn due to Commander Ji's strategy of weakening both sides. Just when D City was finally satisfied with its well-trained military force and planned to launch an invasion to seize territory, Commander Ji and Yu Ling, who remained in D City, also began their actions.
Young Marshal Ji secretly found his father and was almost shot dead, mistaken for a conman. Fortunately, he proved his identity and, together with Yu Ling, they stole his father's house in D City.
Yu Ling rose from serf to warlord, rising from a spy to a general. Although the contributions of Young Marshal Ji and her father were partly due to their efforts, it was still a cause for celebration. To make her survival easier, she transferred most of her power to Young Marshal Ji to ensure that General Ji would not suspect her.
As for what happens next... who can guarantee it?
And so, Yu Ling became a rising star, successfully completing her one-year mission.
