Two generations of his family had been loyal to the emperor, but after his father passed away, he actually started to suspect himself so quickly.

"Your Majesty, do you think this is evidence of collusion between Wen Jingchi and me?"

"Isn't it?" Wen Chenxuan's voice was so cold that it could pinch water out.

The general of the small town was stunned. "Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to you. How can you doubt me like this?"

Enough! Stop talking about your loyalty. Your loyalty is collusion with Wen Jingchi. Otherwise, how could he give you such a precious sword?

You should give me a proper explanation! If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Don't you understand this principle?"

These few simple words left the small town general speechless.

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists, his eyes dizzy with anger.

I never thought that someone would dare to betray me.

Anyone who betrays him will never have a good ending.

He fixed his eyes on the young eunuch, "Immediately pass on my order. The general of the small town is unworthy of his position. His salary will be reduced by half."

Then, he walked away without looking back.

Watching his departing back, the small town general clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred.

That night, when no one was around, he went to find Wen Jingchi in person.

At this time, Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue were just about to go to bed when they heard a knock on the door.

"Is the prince asleep? There is a distinguished guest visiting outside."

Wen Jingchi frowned slightly, and Chu Weiyue complained a few words in dissatisfaction, but they still put on their clothes and went out together to meet the guests.

When Chu Weiyue saw the general of the small town country, there was a look of shock in his eyes.

The general of the small town country was a popular figure around Wen Chenxuan. They were really surprised that he could build a house so late at night.

Chu Weiyue immediately clicked his tongue, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be the general of the small town country. He forcibly took our sword away a few days ago, why is he returning it now?"

Seeing the red box next to him and the sword inside, Chu Weiyue couldn't help but sneer.

The sword originally belonged to Wen Jingchi, but one of Wen Jingchi's men was seriously ill and needed a medicinal ingredient.

The medicinal material was very precious, and the general of the small town happened to have it, so he had no choice but to give the sword to him.

The general of the small town country looked ashamed and pushed his sword aside.

"My Lady Princess, you are beautiful and virtuous, and you are magnanimous. Let's not talk about the past. I came here to seek refuge with you. I am sincere and I will not lie. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning."

He raised his finger high, looking determined.

Wen Jingchi knew him a little bit. This man always kept his word and would never go back on his word.

But there are some things that should never be taken lightly.

His eyes were filled with suspicion. "General Xiaozhenguo, you used to be very close to Wen Chenxuan, why did you suddenly join my army? How can I trust you?"

The general of the small town country sighed deeply, “This general knows that I have done many things that are hostile to you in the past, but I was also deceived by Wen Chenxuan.

After this period of time, I found that he was not really working for the country and the people. My father only wanted to be loyal to the emperor and never thought about whether a filial and loyal emperor was a good emperor. Now I understand that only those who can bring a happy life to the people are suitable to be emperors..."

After hearing so much, Chu Weiyue's ears were callused and she exchanged glances with Wen Jingchi.

The two men sat on the chairs next to each other, and their men served tea to the general of the small town country.

After a brief chat, Wen Jingchi was skeptical and suddenly changed the topic to other things.

"You've been with Wen Chenxuan for so long, do you know what he did in the arid areas in the north?"

General Xiaozhen was stunned for a moment. "I don't know about this. I hadn't been an official at that time. He has been colluding with Wateng recently. When he asked you to go to war, he also wanted to kill you secretly..."

He told everything he knew.

Including all the shameful things Wen Chenxuan had done, they were all explained clearly without any omissions.

With these, Wen Jingchi felt more or less confident.

To prove that he came to surrender and had no other purpose.

But one must always be on guard against others, so after he leaves, continue discussing with Chu Weiyue.

"What do you think the answer to this is?"

Chu Weiyue set his gaze on Wen Jingchi's face.

“I haven’t met many generals from the Small Town Kingdom, but what he said just now should not be false. Wen Chenxuan has no need to have anyone surrender to me.

Moreover, even if he were to choose someone, he would not choose a general from a small town. He has just entered the court and does not understand many officialdom rules, so he is most likely to turn against the emperor. "

Chu Weiyue nodded and agreed.

"This small town general just said that he was thinking about the people, but we should be on guard against others. Let's test it out first."

Wen Jingchi agreed with her, and the two of them didn't think much about it and went to bed early.

On the other hand, the Jin Dynasty found an excuse.

They thought that Wen Chenxuan had privately killed the beautiful woman they had sent, which was tantamount to being disrespectful, and decided to start a fight.

Upon learning that the Jin Kingdom had launched a war, Wen Chenxuan was worried for a moment.

Now his body can't stand any more hardship. If the overall situation is handed over to Wen Jingchi, it might encourage his arrogance.

Wen Chenxuan was afraid, and after much thought, he could only write a letter to Wateng.

As long as Watten takes action, he can kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did he exhaust the military forces within Wateng, but he also took the opportunity to defeat the Jin Kingdom.

When both sides are defeated, he will wipe them out completely, and then both countries will be included in his territory.

Even many years later, he will be praised by the people for this.

Therefore, he promised many benefits in his letter.

Chief Waten had just recovered from his illness, and upon receiving the letter, he immediately laughed coldly.

"This Wen Chenxuan is so ridiculous. He actually wants us to send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom for him. How funny."

They are not stupid. If they lend their troops to Wen Chenxuan, they will be eliminated by him in the end.

The leader replied that the troops were insufficient and suggested that Wen Jingchi go into battle.

As long as Wen Jingchi died, the biggest threat to them would be gone.

By then, if we join hands with the Kingdom of Jin, we can completely conquer this vast land.

As long as Wen Jingchi dies, it will be easy to attack Wen Chenxuan.

After receiving the reply, Wen Chenxuan had no choice but to summon all the civil and military officials and explain the current situation to them.

Wen Jingchi took a step forward first and answered in a leisurely tone.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. This is just the Jin Kingdom's bluff. It's useless for you to worry."

His tone was full of sarcasm and a hint of reprimand.

People who don’t know would think that he is the almighty emperor, and Wen Chenxuan is a stupid idiot!

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Chenxuan clenched his fingers and gritted his teeth in hatred.

Wen Jingchi was just a minister, yet he dared to speak to him in such a tone, showing that he did not take him seriously at all.

But what he said was true, and Wen Chenxuan couldn't refute it.
