Chapter 204 Are you afraid that the dog emperor will take the opportunity to attack your soldiers?
Ji Xiaohan waited until Xiao Shiliu's expression calmed down before he continued, "This matter can only be known to the members of the Secret Guard Camp. Before I arrive in Huangcheng, it must not be disclosed to anyone else, including my personal guards."
Although Xiao Shiliu usually acted carefree and didn't look like a cold-blooded secret guard at all, he was still an all-around killer ranked in the top 20 of the Secret Guard Battalion. After realizing the importance of the matter, his aura suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down, "Yes, Shiliu obeys your command."
After Ji Xiaohan waved Xiao Shiliu to leave, he walked to the table and sat down, starting to have breakfast with the little princess.
The two had a serious conversation just now, and Su Wanyan heard it clearly. She asked while eating, "Ji Xiaohan, are you afraid that the dog emperor will take the opportunity to attack your soldiers?"
Ever since Ji Xiaohan "woke up" and started dining with the little princess, he no longer followed the rule of not talking while eating. The little princess liked to chat while eating when there were no outsiders around.
As the dignified Prince Xiao, no matter how much he valued rules and etiquette, he would not be willing to scold the little princess, let alone let her sit there talking to herself. He would always answer every question, and so, the two of them talked while eating more and more often like now.
"Ji Yueze will not easily give up any opportunity that may undermine my power. Whether it is arranging assassinations in the Road of Exile or ambushing in Quanzhou, they are just small means for him to vent his anger. He believes that the only thing that can really bring me down is the 100,000 soldiers in my hands." Ji Xiaohan's words were understated, but they gave people a sense of oppression that looked down on the world for no reason.
Su Wanyan finished her last bite and, hearing this, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief in amusement and said, "What hatred does Ji Yueze have against you? Is it because of the will that he keeps staring at you like this? Is it because of the will?"
Ji Xiaohan lifted his eyelids and glanced at the little princess's disapproving expression. "This will is like a guillotine hanging over their heads. As long as I don't get rid of it, they will never feel at ease. This is true for Ji Yueze, and the same is true for those who rely on Ji Yueze."
Su Wanyan sighed, "Your existence is the biggest threat to them. So, no matter what you do, they will never truly trust you."
"Yeah." Ji Xiaohan also put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief on the tray beside him and wiped it.
Su Wanyan suddenly remembered something and moved closer to Ji Xiaohan. She lowered her voice and asked, "Then I'm a little curious. Since Ji Yueze is so worried about you, how did you manage to command a hundred thousand soldiers?"
Although he was sentenced to confiscation of property and exile, Ji Yueze still maintained the appearance of brotherly harmony. He let the servants ride in the carriage and did not make things difficult for them.
In the final analysis, they were afraid that they would go too far, which would discourage the 100,000 soldiers under Ji Xiaohan's command and lead them to attack the imperial city regardless of the consequences.
But, that dog emperor Ji Yueze was so afraid of Ji Xiaohan that when he confiscated his property and exiled him, he should have forced Ji Xiaohan to hand over the military token! Wouldn't that mean nothing would happen?
"Things here are a bit complicated, because the military token that can command 100,000 soldiers is also one of the items written in the will. Even if Ji Yueze raids my house again, he dare not forcibly take back the military power from me."
Su Wanyan nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder. If it were me, I would also have to figure out how to deal with you."
