After walking for two days and one night, they finally crossed the mountains at dusk and arrived at a quiet little town.
This place is not far from the capital, but because of the mountains, people live a hard life and there is only one inn.
Letting others camp outside the city, Wen Jingchi brought his trusted men to the inn to settle down.
The store owner brought brand new beds, arranged everything for them, and even cooked a few of their signature dishes.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Chu Weiyue lay on the bed, nestling in Wen Jingchi's arms.
"By the way, Wen Chenxuan wrote a letter today. What did he write?"
Chu Weiyue raised her head curiously and felt around Wen Jingchi, trying to find the letter.
Wen Jingchi laughed coldly, "What else could it be? It must be because of the Jin Kingdom. Other than that, he couldn't have written to me suddenly in an expedited manner."
"Since the country is in trouble, why don't you come and see it?"
Chu Weiyue widened his eyes and became anxious for a moment.
Whenever there is a war, the people suffer the most. She naturally couldn't bear to see so many people displaced and their homes destroyed by the war.
Wen Jingchi then took out the letter and handed it to Chu Weiyue.
After reading the entire content, nameless anger welled up in her eyes.
"Wen Chenxuan is really abominable. He actually thought of you at this time. But he was also forced to do so. Otherwise, he would never have given this job to you."
Although Chu Weiyue was not in the court, he had been with Wen Jingchi for a long time and understood how to be an official.
As the saying goes, a man of great achievement will frighten his master. Wen Jingchi defeated Wateng miserably, which was already a great achievement.
In addition to his past achievements, if he were allowed to attack the Jin Dynasty again, it would be tantamount to giving him glory for nothing.
When he was young, he was able to defeat the current emperor of the Jin Dynasty in three days, not to mention who he is today after going through numerous trials and tribulations.
Wen Jingchi sneered coldly, "You are right, if he had not been desperate, he would not have written a letter and begged me so humbly.
I have sent word back from my men that he is now seriously ill and needs to rest in the town for a while, so let him take care of the affairs of the court on his own."
Chu Weiyue covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You are so mean, you really can't help but watch your royal brother get into trouble."
This was clearly a teasing, but Wen Jingchi scratched her nose.
"So you were once engaged to him, so you feel at ease?"
Chu Weiyue clicked her tongue and said, "Why do I smell something sour? It's so sour that my teeth are falling out."
She hooked her arms around Wen Jingchi's neck and rubbed against his chest.
"Don't worry, I will only pamper you from now on, and I won't even look at other men. Besides, I have never looked at Wen Chenxuan straight in the eye in the past.
For you, I didn’t even want to be the imperial concubine he promised me, and I went with you to a place where chickens don’t shit and birds don’t lay eggs. Isn’t that enough to prove my true love for you…”
Chu Weiyue hugged him and kept saying sweet words to him.
Wen Jingchi enjoyed it very much. He held Chu Weiyue in his arms and kissed her red lips affectionately...
Wen Chenxuan was anxious over there, but the two of them were immersed in the gentleness of the moment.
After a passionate and romantic moment, Chu Weiyue lay exhausted in Wen Jingchi's arms.
Although he was drowsy, he was still thinking about those innocent people.
"Are you really not going to go? Without you, I think it will be difficult for them to restrain the Jin Kingdom.
The people over there are good at using poison. No matter who he sends, they will most likely die without a burial place. By then, rivers of blood will flow, which is something neither you nor I want to see..."
Wen Jingchi sighed deeply and hugged Chu Weiyue tighter.
“But Wen Chenxuan abuses his authority. If we continue to indulge his wishes, more people will die. So we can’t compromise this time.
In the long run, this will reduce more casualties. As long as he is on the throne, the people will not be able to live and work in peace..."
After hearing his words, Chu Weiyue was deeply moved.
She didn't expect that Wen Jingchi could be so wise.
At this moment, she suddenly felt extremely relieved that she was following a good man.
If it were Wen Chenxuan, he would probably only care about his own life and death.
Whether the people are living in dire straits or not has nothing to do with him.
After whispering for a long time, Chu Weiyue fell asleep sweetly in Wen Jingchi's arms.
at the same time.
Wen Chenxuan has already received the message sent by Wen Jingchi.
When he saw the words above, his face, which was already gloomy, became even darker than ink.
I held the letter so tightly that my joints were creaking.
He really didn't expect that Wen Jingchi would disregard the safety of the people of the world. Was he really planning to go against him?
The next morning court session.
Wen Chenxuan's face was ashen, his eyes were slightly swollen, and he looked haggard, obviously a few years older than a few days ago.
There was nothing else to do in the court today except the Jin attack.
Today, there is still no general who can take command.
Wen Chenxuan glanced at them depressedly, "Do you have any suitable candidates?"
One of Wen Jingchi's ministers took the first step forward.
"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom is extremely ferocious, even more so than Wateng. Their people eat raw meat and drink blood, and are good at using poison and witchcraft. They are insidious and cunning. If you are not good at this, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it will be difficult to defeat the Jin Kingdom."
"The only solution now is to ask the Ninth Prince to return to the court to attack the Jin Kingdom. There is no other way! Even if we can find other talented generals, it will take some time, and I'm afraid it will be too late by then."
After hearing his words, several other ministers nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, please summon the Ninth Prince back to the court immediately and have him go to fight the Jin Kingdom. Unless he personally goes to the battlefield, we will definitely lose this battle!"
…
Many ministers knew Wen Chenxuan's character, and some were forced to become his party members, but when it came to national affairs, they knew what was important.
When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
If the country is gone, no matter how fiercely they fight openly or secretly, it will be meaningless.
So at this time, they all nominated Wen Jingchi.
For a time, Wen Jingchi was directly placed on the altar.
Wen Chenxuan's face was dark, as if it had been splashed with a layer of thick ink.
He grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it to the ground.
"You bunch of rubbish, can you think of any other tricks besides Wen Jingchi?
Could it be that apart from Wen Jingchi, there is no one else who can take on this important task of guarding my kingdom? You guys should think of someone else who can take charge! "
The further he spoke, the more heated his words became, and he seemed to want to curse these people to death.
But these ministers remained silent.
In the end, they still chose Wen Jingchi!
Wen Chenxuan became furious and overturned the table, and the meeting ended in a bad mood.
The ministers looked at each other and talked a lot, putting aside all the past grudges.
They were all discussing how to convince Wen Chenxuan and ask Wen Jingchi to come back and take charge.
