Chapter 1029: Proposal
General Zheng: "General Jin believes that he was set up against someone this time, and the purpose was to prevent him from interfering in the affairs between the Thousand Islands and Dasheng.
In fact, this is indeed the case. All the generals who were close to General Jin were unable to join this war.
General Jin contacted me secretly and asked me to compete for the position of the commander-in-chief of this expedition, and told me to be careful of the national teacher. "
When Yi Mei heard this, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide, with a look of surprise on her face.
Even though she had expected it, she still felt shocked.
In her impression, the Imperial Master has always been a kind and amiable elder. She never thought that the Imperial Master would actually murder her uncle.
General Zheng continued, "General Jin has always been concerned about the safety of the Third Princess.
He hopes that I can send someone to Shengjing to look for the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess.
I had originally planned to take advantage of the situation and arrange for a few secret agents to dress up as Dasheng people and head north to Shengjing to find out your whereabouts.
I didn't expect you to show up first.
Fortunately, you are safe and sound. The Emperor and General Jin will surely be very happy to know this."
Yi Mei said seriously: "Now that I'm back, can this war be stopped?"
General Zheng smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that's not possible. General Jin has specifically reminded me that if I find the whereabouts of the Third Princess, I must not make it public, especially not to let the Imperial Master know. It's best to find a safe and secret place to hide you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yi Mei.
“My father is seriously ill, my uncle was assassinated, and my country is about to go to war with another country.
How could I hide like a coward in such a critical moment?
I have to go back. I have to let everyone in Thousand Islands know that the third princess is back!
The Emperor of Dasheng did not murder me. It was all caused by that sinister villain Guan Ying. My subjects should not risk their lives for this!"
General Zheng looked at her in a daze.
In his impression, the third princess has always been a willful, arrogant and domineering person.
He never thought that at such a critical moment concerning her life, the third princess would change her previous willfulness and become brave and determined.
He was shocked, but also felt relieved.
Their third princess has finally grown up.
General Zheng stopped trying to dissuade her and began to give her serious advice.
"I suspect that the Imperial Master has planted spies on the ship, and the news of the Third Princess's appearance must have been known to the spies.
Those eyes will definitely try to kill you.
As long as you die, the Imperial Master will be able to prove nothing.
If Your Highness the Third Princess insists on going back, it would be best for her to act out a play with me, and then you can quietly return home by boat afterwards.
This way you can avoid assassinations to the greatest extent possible and ensure your safety as much as possible. "
Yimei stood upright, her small body straight, her two small hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, her beautiful big eyes full of determination.
She thought the general's suggestion was feasible and nodded in response.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Just as the sky was about to brighten, a crisp sound of porcelain breaking was suddenly heard on the Thousand Islands ship, followed by General Zheng's angry shout.
"What do you want to do? Let go of the Third Princess!"
Everyone on the ship was awakened, and the soldiers standing on guard on the high platform also looked in the direction of the sound.
The soldiers saw that the third princess was being strangled by the neck by a young guard. The two men stood on the deck and retreated step by step.
The third princess was so frightened that she was shaking all over, tears streaming down her face. She was so panicked that she had lost her mind and could only keep repeating the same thing.
"Save me! General, save me, wuwuwu!"
General Zheng drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the young guard behind the Third Princess, and shouted angrily, "If you don't let go of the Third Princess, I will kill you!"
The young guard was Chu Jian.
He pinched the third princess' neck with one hand, and hugged her body from behind with the other hand, roaring with a ferocious expression.
"I am a subordinate of the Imperial Master. If you dare to kill me, the Imperial Master will not let you go!"
When General Zheng heard this, he was indeed a little hesitant.
All the soldiers on the ship were deeply shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that there would be an assassin arranged by the Imperial Master on the ship, and they never thought that this assassin would dare to harm the third princess.
Chu Jian took advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned and jumped up with Yi Mei in his arms!
The two people fell straight into the sea, making a splash and splashing high water.
General Zheng rushed over and looked down, only to find that there were only ripples on the sea. There was no trace of the third princess and the guard anymore, and he immediately became anxious.
He hurriedly organized people to go into the water to rescue people.
The soldiers of the Thousand Islands worked hard for most of the day but still gained nothing.
General Zheng had to announce the death of the third princess with great sorrow and said with deep grief.
"Although the assassin who killed the third princess claimed to be a subordinate of the Imperial Master, I absolutely do not believe that the Imperial Master would do such a treasonous thing!"
All the officers and soldiers echoed and said that the general was right.
But in fact, many people present had already begun to doubt the Imperial Master.
Only a few people were secretly worried.
These people were the real spies planted on the ship by the State Master. The State Master had indeed given them orders that once they found the Third Princess, they must do everything they can to kill her and never let her return to the Thousand Islands alive.
But the Grand Master of the Imperial Court had repeatedly warned us to be low-key in our actions, and not let anyone notice anything unusual, let alone let anyone know that it was the Grand Master of the Imperial Court who did it.
The assassin who kidnapped the third princess last night was extremely high-profile. Not only did he attract the attention of everyone on the ship, he also publicly announced that he was the assassin sent by the Imperial Master.
This is simply a slap in the face to the Imperial Master!
If this matter gets to the ears of the Imperial Master, I'm afraid all of them will suffer.
When they thought of this, they became extremely anxious and wanted to fly back immediately to inform the Imperial Master about this matter and clear themselves of any relationship with that stupid teammate.
When no one is paying attention, these people sneak out to meet and discuss what to do next.
In order to prevent the Imperial Master from taking his anger out on them, they had to find a way to quickly deliver the news that the third princess had been kidnapped and fallen into the sea back to the country.
How to leave the large group smoothly and return home quietly became a big problem they had to solve.
Just as they were seriously discussing how to solve this problem, the door was suddenly broken down, and a group of soldiers with weapons rushed into the room. General Zheng was the last one to come in.
He glanced at the people present and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Catch all these spies!"
