As a result, when the king learned of their arrival, he actually wanted to see Ji Bochang a day in advance.
Moreover, it was a private meeting, and Jiang Ming was not summoned to see him.
This made Ji Bochang extremely panicked!
Throughout the journey, Jiang Ming continuously trained Ji Bochang, instructing him on how to respond to the king's questions.
But Ji Bochang was so tense at this moment that his mind was completely in a mess...
Above the main hall of the Yan Kingdom.
Prince Yan, Ji Xi, exuded an imposing aura without anger. He squinted at Ji Bochang, who was trembling and bowing his head below the steps, his face full of contempt and disdain.
"Brother Wang."
"Your Majesty..."
Ji Bochang swallowed hard, and although it was already winter, cold sweat still seeped out from his temples.
"I heard... you've been getting along really well with the Xianbei people lately?" Ji Xi asked.
“Uh…Reporting to my king.”
Ji Bochang tried his best to remain calm and replied, "It's just a matter of driving away the wolves and tigers, letting them kill each other..."
"Oh? How did you do that?" Ji Xi asked.
Ji Bochang replied, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty learned that the Xiongnu had besieged the main force of the Xianbei at Lone Wolf Mountain, and then... I sent troops to launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu's main camp."
"You raided the Xiongnu's main camp?"
"Um!"
Ji Bochang replied as Jiang Ming had instructed him: "I have heard that... the State of Zhongshan may form an alliance with the State of Qi to jointly oppose our Great Yan. Therefore... I believe this is a good opportunity."
"What good opportunity?"
"Well......"
Ji Bochang composed himself and said, "I dispatched a young general named Jiang Ming to raid the Xiongnu's main camp, but he was flying the banner of the Zhongshan Kingdom... When the Xiongnu saw their stronghold destroyed, they immediately withdrew from Lone Wolf Mountain and then attacked the Zhongshan Kingdom to avenge their defeat, inflicting heavy losses on the Zhongshan Kingdom..."
"And then, and then..."
He stammered, his mind a bit muddled. Seeing Prince Yan, Ji Xi, staring at him with a worried and disgusted expression, he became even more nervous.
He had forgotten all the words Jiang Ming had taught him.
"And then what!"
"ah?"
Ji Bochang trembled with fear: "Then, the Xiongnu realized they had attacked the wrong side, so they attacked again, and then... I ambushed them in the mountains and annihilated their main force!"
"fart!"
Princess Xi of Yan angrily retorted, "You're spouting nonsense! Today... if you tell me the truth, I might spare your life. But if you keep lying to me, I'll boil you alive!"
