Chapter 270 It's Time to Go



What Zhao Ji did was actually a concession.

The moment the third prince was released by Zhao Ji, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The prime minister's gaze fell on the third prince. After making sure that the third prince was in a position where Zhao Ji could no longer catch him, the prime minister reached out and threw out a white porcelain bottle.

Zhao Ji reached out and took the small bottle, then turned around and left with his men.

Zhao Ji and his men disappeared into the distant forest, but at this time, the third prince began to blame the prime minister.

"Why didn't you take this opportunity to stop Zhao Ji? If you don't take this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no chance again. If you want to catch Zhao Ji again in the future, I'm afraid you will have to go to the capital..."

The Third Prince was mumbling, and the Prime Minister glared at him fiercely at this time: "If it weren't for you, how could we have come to this point? We don't have much funds now, and we are exposed too early, which will make us suffer a great loss in the subsequent game with Zhao Ji!"

After saying this, the Third Prince no longer complained like he did before. At this time, the Third Prince also realized that it was his own problem.

"Hurry up and leave. If we don't evacuate now, once Zhao Ji and his men get the people and come back, we'll be caught in a trap!"

The prime minister was very clear about Zhao Ji's situation and had been trying to figure out what Zhao Ji was thinking.

At this moment, he no longer had the energy to argue with the Third Prince. The most urgent task now was to withdraw his forces from the town as soon as possible, because if he was any slower, Zhao Ji would bring people back.

On the other side, Zhao Ji helped General Tian back to the disaster-stricken town. General Tian was full of guilt.

"If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would have solved your problem long ago. Now, you have paid too much for my worthless life and lost such a great opportunity..."

General Tian kept blaming himself.

Zhao Jize sighed: "The reason why I saved you, General, is because your life is worth it. With your talent, it would be a waste if you were to die unjustly in that dark underground space!"

"On the other hand, of course I have my own selfish motives. General Tian and I have been friends for such a long time that we can be considered friends. Now that my friend is in trouble, how can I just stand by and watch?"

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, General Tian's feelings of guilt and gratitude reached their peak.

"If I can save my life from the Hades this time, I will definitely do my best to repay your kindness..."

These were not words spoken by General Tian, ​​but what he was thinking. Zhao Ji heard these words while supporting General Tian.

However, what Zhao Ji said this time was the truth. General Tian would be of great use to Zhao Ji in the future, and he couldn't just let him die here in obscurity.

After returning to the town, Zhao Ji began to mobilize troops without saying a word, just as Xiang Cheng had expected, and wanted to go back to find the prime minister and the third prince.

However, the prime minister and the third prince acted quickly. When Zhao Ji went to look for them, the two men and all the forces in the town had disappeared.

However, this also allowed Zhao Ji to see the true intentions of these two people recently.

It's nothing more than the same old plot to seize power and usurp the throne.

"Since the person has left, there is no need to stay here!" Zhao Ji said to the guards behind him.

At the same time, the relief money that had been newly raised in the capital had also arrived, along with some urgently needed supplies.

Zhao Ji personally distributed these supplies to the victims.

I don’t know when it changed, but the resentment these disaster victims have towards the imperial court is not as strong as before. They are even now very clear that if the imperial court gives up, they will probably not suffer any losses.

But now the imperial court has not given up on these things, but has sent silver and supplies in batches.

Moreover, these disaster victims gradually learned about Zhao Ji's identity.

Zhao Ji, the regent of the imperial court, now came to such a dangerous place in person. After the silver was lost, he urgently transferred a batch of money from the imperial court.

The people saw everything he did, so sometimes when Zhao Ji was walking on the road, children would often come up to him and either put a bunch of wild flowers commonly seen on the roadside in his hands, or give him some strange gifts.

Zhao Ji had a good temper and accepted them all.

Now the second batch of supplies has arrived, and under the leadership of Zhao Ji, the people have gradually cleaned up the collapsed houses.

Not far away are the houses that the disaster victims have built on their own.

A new house represents new hope.

Human beings are a very strong species. Even in the face of various natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can still find a way to survive.

That kind of vibrant and positive energy also infected Zhao Ji.

"How is General Tian's injury recently?" The main reason why Zhao Ji did not leave was because of General Tian's health.

A doctor who was with Zhao Ji said, "General Tian's health has been almost restored, but the punishment he received was a bit severe and his body is still a little weak. The most important thing is that the wound on his knee is still healing, so he probably can't ride back to Beijing!"

Zhao Ji calculated the time and felt that he could not wait any longer. Although General Tian's injuries were serious, they were much better than at the beginning.

After all, when Zhao Ji first rescued General Tian, ​​he was already dying, and the amount of air he was breathing in was less than what he was breathing out.

At that time, we were really fighting against the gates of hell for people.

This situation is already very good.

"In that case, you guys can take General Tian back to the capital slowly by carriage, and I will ride back to the capital first!"

After Zhao Ji finished making the arrangements, he prepared to leave early the next morning.

The morning sun shines on the street, and a hint of warmth gradually rises.

Zhao Ji led the horse and prepared to leave with a group of guards. Just as they were about to leave the city, they found that a dense crowd of people had gathered on the open street outside the city.

In the front were the children, each of whom looked at Zhao Ji with their innocent and simple eyes.

Behind the children were their parents. Not everyone was lucky enough to protect themselves in the face of natural disasters and man-made tragedies. Zhao Ji took a quick look and saw that many people in the crowd were already missing limbs.

But this did not prevent them from supporting each other and standing in front of Zhao Ji.

Behind these people are those who have recovered well, or even those who can be said to be lucky enough to escape unscathed.

These people surrounded Zhao Ji in layer upon layer, blocking his way out.

Zhao Ji sighed. He really didn't want to spread the news at first. He didn't know where these people got the news this morning.
