After hearing this, General Li was stunned. He never expected that Chu Weiyue had put in so much effort behind the scenes.

For a moment, he became the one who felt the most guilty, lowering his head, not knowing what to say.

But a man's self-esteem does not allow him to bow his head.

Although I admired him deeply in my heart, I said nothing on the surface.

Wen Jingchi naturally understood that men all have strong self-esteem.

After looking at Chu Weiyue, she sighed helplessly and walked to the side of Wenjing Pond.

She understood very early on that some things require both kindness and severity.

She immediately curled the corners of her lips, which made everyone wonder, she should be angry, why did she suddenly laugh.

"Let's just forget about this matter. General Li's intention was good, but a military camp is still a military camp. It would be better to punish him with fifty military stripes at the most serious level and never mention this matter again.

General Li has made so many contributions to the country in the past, and this incident was also caused by a misunderstanding."

She looked at the others, none of whom spoke, and it was clear that they all agreed with her idea.

For a moment, General Li became the most embarrassed one.

He bowed respectfully to Chu Weiyue, "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have been so petty. A man should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. I formally apologize to you here. As long as the princess thinks highly of me, I am willing to serve you at my best."

His words were spoken passionately, without a trace of falsehood.

He also didn't expect that after the truth was revealed, Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi would be so magnanimous.

Chu Weiyue was amused by him and laughed, "General, you are too polite. You did this all for the benefit of the people. How could we blame you? Everyone gets confused at times."

"No woman has ever done what I did before, so it's understandable that you would react this way. My only hope is that General Li will learn from his mistakes and stop thinking that women are inferior to men.

Many women just don’t have the opportunity to display their talents, which doesn’t mean they don’t have talent. There are many women who are talented and are not much worse than men, but they just don’t have the opportunity…”

The more Chu Weiyue spoke, the more she felt touched.

This time, those who were originally dissatisfied with Chu Weiyue were completely convinced.

They even chose to support Wen Jingchi completely.

Seeing the soldiers' expressions, Chu Weiyue didn't say anything else?

Some things just need to be mentioned briefly, and further discussion would only seem redundant.

She couldn't help but sigh, "My fellow soldiers, the reason we came here to fight is because Wateng is in collusion with the court, so we published our defense map. I believe that everyone of you is aware of the situation in the court."

"Logically speaking, the prince shouldn't have come in person. There are many generals who are better at fighting than him. But he was chosen to come. It must be to make him die without a burial place. In this way, that person will have no rivals in the court..."

Chu Weiyue did not reveal the man's name, but as to who was at odds with Wen Jingchi and who wanted him dead the most, it was already known to everyone.

General Li reacted quickly and knelt in front of Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue.

"Your Majesty, from now on I am willing to obey your orders. Even the orders of the court have nothing to do with me. I will only be loyal to you. If Your Majesty does not mind, please accept this humble servant who is willing to serve you and the princess!"

Hearing this, the others also knelt on the ground.

Originally they were loyal to the imperial court, but now they have completely become loyal to Wen Jingchi.

Seeing everyone surrender so submissively, Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue exchanged glances and achieved their goal.

When they arrived at the tent, Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi sat on the chairs, and Zuo Tianlin also came with them.

Zuo Tianlin naturally knew the situation in the court, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is now very ambitious. My aunt has already written to my father, and my father has also informed King Muye, who is far to the east of the capital. Although he has a small number of troops, they are all elite troops. His fiefdom is the closest to the capital, and he is willing to cooperate with you.

Otherwise, you can take half of the troops back to the court. More than half of Wateng's men were killed or wounded in the last battle. With our weapons, they dare not act rashly. I will resist the foreign enemies here, and you can go back to fight in the palace!"

Zuo Tianlin knew very well that if this matter was delayed and the prince was allowed to sit on the throne smoothly, the consequences would be disastrous.

He sent Wen Jingchi to a remote border area in the hope of maintaining his dominance.

Wen Jingchi refused without hesitation, "The Wateng clan will not give up, and they can't really become a vassal state. If I bring the troops back, how can you deal with them? Otherwise, we wouldn't have fought for so long.

Although the gunpowder can temporarily gain the upper hand, if they resist stubbornly, they will have to hold out for a while, and the common people will suffer.”

In the past few days, he and Chu Weiyue went deep into the people's community and learned that they were living in dire straits every day.

Just as they were discussing, a subordinate came hurriedly and handed a letter to Wen Jingchi.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter that came from the capital at full speed."

The moment Wen Jingchi opened his eyes, his expression changed instantly.

Zuo Tianlin and Chu Weiyue went over to take a look and found that the prince had successfully ascended the throne while Wen Jingchi was away on the expedition.

Zuo Tianlin slammed the table angrily, "This prince is really good at taking advantage of the situation. What should we do now?"

As the Queen Mother's family, they certainly don't want the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne of the Nine Supremes.

Wen Jingchi frowned and said nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, he laughed coldly.

"Now the prince must be the most anxious one. He will become the emperor. The first thing he needs to do is to suppress my followers, and then find an opportunity to drive them out of the capital one by one, so it is not advisable to delay for too long."

"Are you planning to negotiate with the other party?" Chu Weiyue was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Wen Jingchi nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to have a formal talk with them. General Zuo, write a letter to Wateng immediately and tell him that I am willing to negotiate with them in Chongyang Tower."

"Okay, I'll write the letter now."

He took on the task, returned to his tent, wrote the letter and sent it to Watten.

When the chief received the letter, his face became extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped in the face several times.

Several men nearby also saw the contents of the letter.

"Chief, they are planning to negotiate with us. If we agree, we may lose the initiative."

The chieftain snorted in dissatisfaction, "But if we don't negotiate, do you think we can win? Now the arms have been destroyed by that bitch Chu Weiyue. If we force an attack, won't there be more casualties?

You have seen how powerful their weapons are. I heard that they brought several hundred kilograms of gunpowder. Although this is just hearsay, I am not sure if it is true, but what if it is true? "
