Chapter 594: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 41
Su Ziyan got up from the ground, almost mad with anger, "Are you all wooden? Hurry up and arrest the two of them, arrest them all!"
No one paid any attention to Su Ziyan.
The generals present had a fifth-rank military rank at the lowest. Prince Rui was fine, after all, he was a prince and very likely the next emperor, so they naturally could not offend him. Su Ziyan was just a fifth-rank general. The title of Princess Rui was useful in the capital, but not in the northern border.
Prince Rui calmed down instead.
He understood why Ji Yunhuan was able to become a fifth-rank general. He must have seduced Yuwen Yi. His eighth brother was very dull and had never seen many women, so it was normal for him to be seduced.
Ji Yunhuan didn't think that he would regret it if he hooked up with another prince, right? Yuwen Yi was nothing. He had never taken the son of a prostitute seriously.
In the final analysis, Ji Yunhuan was still playing hard to get with him. Yuwen Yi was just being used by Ji Yunhuan, and Ji Yunhuan must have been eager to stay with him.
Prince Rui was very confident. "Ji Yunhuan, stop making trouble and come to me. I will not pursue your mistakes today."
"As for my eighth brother's crimes, I will report the truth to my father. He will make the final decision. Do you think he can protect you? He can't even protect himself!"
Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to waste words with Prince Rui any more. It would be a waste of words. She grabbed Yuwen Yi and left the banquet hall.
No one stopped him.
Prince Rui cares the most about his face and would never do something like "killing his brother" in public. Even if he wants to deal with Yuwen Yi, he will do it in private to maintain his reputation of being virtuous and generous.
Hu Anshan quickly jumped out to smooth things over, "You ignorant fellow, why don't you come and clean up the mess and serve another table? Where's the military doctor? Hurry and show it to Princess Rui."
"The Eighth Prince is too outrageous. He usually looks honest and loyal, but his mind is so vicious. He hurt Your Highness and Princess Rui. Your Highness is kind-hearted, but he has become even more rampant."
Yu Wenrui sighed, "He is my brother after all. Even though he made the mistake first, I cannot arrest him and put him in jail. Right now is the time to use people, and I do not want to cause any more trouble and shake the morale of the army."
Hu Anshan raised his glass and said, "Your Highness has always been selfless and has put the greater good first. I would like to offer you a toast."
It is not a good idea to touch Yuwen Yi now, because when the war is over, Yuwen Yi will be dead.
Ji Yunhuan dragged Yuwen Yi all the way back to the villa. Wu Jie appeared out of nowhere and said faintly, "You are a man with a conscience. You know how to protect Huan'er. You are not like the ruthless Prince Rui. I get angry when I see that bastard!"
"Forget it. I won't chase you away today. Come in and sit down. I'll get you something to eat."
The two entered the house, and Ji Yunhuan poured a cup of tea for Yuwen Yi and said with a smile: "Thank you for today."
Yuwen Yi looked at Ji Yunhuan and whispered, "I thought you would blame me for being too impulsive. Originally, there was still room for maneuver between you two, but after today, I'm afraid there will never be any more..."
Ji Yunhuan said sternly, "What are you thinking? A good horse never turns back. King Rui and I have already torn our relationship apart. You helped me, but I still blame you. What kind of person am I then?"
"I have to praise you. You have made progress and you scolded her very well. Don't worry, I have already replied to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will take care of Concubine Jiang. I dare not say that I can take good care of her, but I will definitely not lack food, clothing and other necessities."
"Prince Rui will definitely complain to the emperor, Concubine Xiao will definitely whisper in his ear, and the ministers in the court will report you. But you don't have to be afraid. They will have to wait until the war is over before they can deal with you. By then, I will go to Kunning Palace and act like a spoiled child. The Empress Dowager will definitely protect you."
Yuwen Yi stared at Ji Yunhuan in a daze. It turned out that she had thought of everything so thoroughly. She knew that he was most worried about his mother, so she had already written a letter of trust to ask the Empress to take care of her.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Yuwen Yi murmured.
Ji Yun laughed, "It's just a matter of talking, and you think that's good for you? General Yi's requirements are too low."
The three of them had their meal together. Wu Jie sat there for a while, feeling like a huge luminous body that was out of place. He couldn't sit still any longer and left angrily.
Ji Yunhuan chatted with Yuwen Yi about all sorts of things for a long time without feeling tired. She didn't fall asleep until the moon was above the treetops and Yuwen Yi left reluctantly.
The next day, everyone packed up and went back to Shanhaiguan. They had long been fed up with Hu Anshan, and they only stayed reluctantly because they wanted to defend their country.
Before leaving the villa, Hu Anshan, drunk, came hurriedly with his men.
"General Yi, please stay! The Wujin people are attacking the city again, throwing burning flints into the city. We have suffered heavy losses and have already replaced three waves of people."
"Yesterday was just a misunderstanding. His Royal Highness Prince Rui has promised to forgive the past. Now is the critical moment to fight the enemy. How can General Yi escape in the face of the enemy? Please quickly climb the city wall and kill the enemy."
Yuwen Yi was visibly anxious.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't just sit there and do nothing. They had anticipated such a situation a long time ago and had discussed many ways to deal with it. However, now it was Hu Anshan who was begging Yuwen Yi, and when asking for help, one had to have the attitude of asking for help.
Ji Yunhuan quietly pulled Yuwen Yi and said calmly: "General Yi is the commander of Shanhaiguan. How can he be considered deserting when he goes back to guard Shanhaiguan? He is clearly performing his duty faithfully."
Hu Anshan was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. He had been drinking with King Rui until midnight yesterday and hadn't recovered yet. In the early morning, he was given a headache by the nagging of the messenger.
When Yuwen Yi was guarding the city in the past, he wouldn't have so many problems bothering him.
Prince Rui could no longer be relied upon, as he was probably enjoying himself with his new princess, so he could only leave Yuwen Yi behind.
"I am the Grand Marshal of the Army, in charge of the entire northern border. Naturally, I have the right to mobilize the guards of Shanhaiguan."
Ji Yunhuan nodded, "Indeed, Marshal Hu, please send some people to support Youlan Pass and Lingyun Pass."
Yuwen Yi immediately agreed, "Yes, you send troops to support them, and I will stay."
Hu Anshan could only agree, "I will send 10,000 soldiers to Youlan Pass and Lingyun Pass for support. They have sufficient food and weapons. We can't send more."
The two soldiers who came for help almost cried for joy. King Rui came yesterday, and they wanted to ask for an audience with him, but were stopped by people sent by Hu Anshan, who also said that they could not be allowed to ruin the celebration banquet.
In the past, when the Duke was in charge of the northern border, whenever there was a war, the Duke would take the overall situation into consideration and would never let them reach the point of desperation and seek help from everywhere.
Since Jiayuguan could no longer be relied upon, they had originally planned to follow General Yi to Shanhaiguan and then see if they could seek help from other cities.
"Thank you, General Ji, and thank you, General Yi."
The two young generals did not dare to delay at all. They each took 5,000 soldiers and rushed back to provide support.
Ji Yunhuan and Yuwen Yi once again climbed up the city wall to resist wave after wave of enemy troops.
