Chapter 204: If Those in Power Are Like This, There Will Be Hell Everywhere
The word "Rabbit God" made several generals blush with anger, but they dared not say a word in front of Yun Ji.
They are not the rabbit gods for people to play with!
"Don't worry, Your Highness. None of my men are cowards. Let alone eating wild vegetables and tree bark, even if they had to eat dirt, no one would say, 'We will defend Weicheng to the death.' If you think we'll starve to death and take advantage of the ready-made food, you're dreaming! Let those bastards in Dongyue wait until eternity!"
"I don't have any cowards under my command!"
"It's even more impossible for me to have it! Whoever doesn't want to eat it, I'll eat him!"
Everyone was clamoring and competing with each other, but in fact they were just cheering themselves up.
After deciding on the issue of food and fodder, Yun Ji ordered everyone to retreat.
A look of worry crept onto Yun Ji's face again. He hadn't slept for three days and asked Wu Feng beside him, "Any news?"
Wufeng really wanted to have it, but in the end he could only shake his head.
It was expected, but Yun Ji's brows tightened even more.
"The three surrounding garrisons are all under the control of Prince Long's subordinates, and now they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. The Northern Desert General Tang is Prince Long's brother, which is even more so."
Wang Wuwei's heart grew heavier as he spoke, and he couldn't help but say, "I underestimated their viciousness. I never thought they would actually... actually collude with Dongyue!"
Yun Ji waved his hand, "I never thought of that."
He knew that Marquis Yong'an was restless, and he also knew that the Lin family and Prince Long were planning how to kill him at Changdu Pass.
He made preparations and plans, but failed because he took them for granted as human beings.
It has never been imagined that in order to fight for power, the empress, princes, the highest aristocratic families, the chief civil officials, and the generals defending the country of the Great Zhao would collude with the enemy country and foreign races.
Not only did they want to take his life, but they also disregarded the lives of 30,000 soldiers in Yanzhou, accused 20,000 stationed troops of disloyalty and injustice, and handed over the people of the three cities within Changdu Pass to be crushed by the enemy.
Hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside!
If those in power are like this, everywhere will be hell.
"It is my incompetence, my failure to live up to the trust placed in me by His Majesty. But... I never imagined that the knife stabbing our hearts would come not from the enemy, but from one of our own!"
At the end of his speech, Wang Wuwei was heartbroken and couldn't help but shed tears.
When his father retired and returned to his hometown, he was still young and didn't quite understand why his father was so determined to leave Beijing despite the emperor's attempts to keep him, even though they just had different political views.
My father never opened the letters from Yunji and would burn them all. It was not until the snow disaster in Yanzhou that he learned about Yunji's situation and opened the most recent letter.
Later, Yun Ji came to visit in person, but his father did not show up and just asked him to meet him.
When he first met Yun Ji, he was just a boy of twenty-five or twenty-six with barely a hair on his beard. He looked down on him. No matter how famous he was, it was just a pretense. As a royal relative, how could he really care about the common people?
It was not until he opened up his conversation with Yun Ji and truly realized that the person in front of him had a kind heart and wanted to save the Great Zhao that the blood that had been dormant in his heart for ten years began to boil.
He wanted to change the Great Zhao, wanted to help a wise ruler ascend the throne, and wanted to transform the Great Zhao into a new world.
My father just said that he was old and the Wang family should be handed over to him. He should be the helmsman. Once he thinks it through, he will do it.
But he didn't expect that in just ten years, the Great Zhao had become even more corrupt than he had imagined.
The building is about to collapse, but there is no way to turn it around, which makes people despair!
So desperate!
"Military Advisor! Military Advisor!" Wang Wuwei fainted from anger. Wufeng hurriedly supported him and pinched his Ren Zhong point.
Yun Ji immediately took his pulse and ordered, "Send the military advisor back to his room and have the military doctor come quickly."
Wufeng took the order and immediately sent Wang Wuwei back to the room. When he came back, Yun Ji was no longer sitting at the top, but standing on the roof.
Yun Ji has always been very polite. When he realized something, he immediately jumped up and stepped forward.
Standing next to Yun Ji and following his gaze, I realized that he was looking towards Shengjing.
"Master, why don't you call the people back and run out at night? We will fight to the death and we will definitely be able to save you..."
"Shut up!" Yun Ji shouted to stop Wufeng from speaking any further.
He is the commander-in-chief, how can he abandon his soldiers?
"master!"
"Cholera in the army is punishable by thirty military sticks."
Wu Feng understood Yun Ji and knew that he would never leave, so he could only grit his teeth and say with tears in his eyes, "Yes!"
"Take the military staff and leave the city tonight for Shengjing... Take Su Rui and leave the capital quickly." Yun Ji clutched the warm jade in his hand and thought again. Su Rui was quick-witted and might have already learned the news and left the capital on her own. "If she has already left the capital, make sure she is safe, and don't return."
"No! Master! I won't leave! Now that you've sent everyone out to get help, if I leave again, you'll have no one by your side. No! Absolutely not!"
"I am not the child I used to be. I don't need protection. This is an order. Do you want to disobey me?" Yun Ji turned around with determination in his eyes.
Wufeng clenched his fists, but as a secret guard, he had to obey his master's orders unconditionally.
Helpless, Wufeng could only grit his teeth and jump away.
Yun Ji turned back to face Shengjing, his fingers groping for the heart knot on the jade pendant.
Maybe, we will never see each other again.
…
Day 4.
Even though she was under house arrest in Fu Garden and no news came in, Su Rui knew that she couldn't delay any longer.
She must flee Shengjing immediately.
But she still couldn't bear to do it.
Once she escapes, the Second Prince will get to know the news and will surely speed up the process of killing Yun Ji. Yun Ji's hope of survival will be even smaller, or even zero.
In fact, she was pregnant. Even if it was a daughter, when the dust settled and the child grew up, she could come back as Yun Ji's widow and achieve her ultimate goal.
If she were to live her life again, this would be all she wanted.
Just step on Yun Ji's corpse and wait for a few years, and it can be done easily.
Making use of what should be utilized, even if it is the last bit of value, this is what she is pursuing now.
But every time I make a decision, Yun Ji pops up in my mind.
Especially his eyes.
When I first met her, she seemed distant but full of compassion.
When he was angry with her, he would just fluctuate slightly and occasionally frown.
The surprise and helplessness that flashed across his face when she attacked him.
When restraining desire, scarlet and reason are intertwined, but it is particularly burning.
And that hurt look in his eyes before he left.
If she abandoned him, would he hate her before he died?
Probably not.
He knew what she would choose. In his heart, he was a cold-blooded, vicious, and obsessed person.
"Go to Mobei."
Su Rui was having a headache when she suddenly heard a slight sound in her ears.
She turned her head and saw only Tang Yuli sitting on the porch looking at the sky.
"Were you the one who spoke just now?" Su Rui asked in surprise.
Tang Yuli turned to look at her, but his eyes were empty, without any emotional reaction, he just looked at her.
Did she hear it wrong?
Su Rui was suspicious.
But she quickly denied it.
At such a close distance, she wouldn't have heard it wrong, and it was indeed Tang Yuli's voice just now.
She asked her to go to Mobei?
