Chapter 336 Breaking into the Military Camp
Shouldn't surveillance be about keeping an eye on people? They've already left, yet they're sneaking into someone else's room.
The guard grumbled inwardly, but dared not say anything more and had no choice but to follow Ji Wenxuan into the room.
"I knew this kid was interested in Shu'er."
Ji Wenxuan looked around the room, finally fixing his gaze on the Xuan paper on the table. As Ji Wenxuan had expected, Xu Yunzhi was indeed interested in Shu'er; even so far from the capital, he could still paint his cousin's portrait so vividly.
"Young master, what exactly are you looking for?"
The guard didn't care who Xu Yunzhi liked; all he knew was that his young master's casual wandering around someone else's house would definitely leave him with something to hide.
"Let's not look for anything, let's go."
Ji Wenxuan glanced at the portrait one last time, waved his hand, and walked out in a swagger.
The guard almost fainted on the spot at Ji Wenxuan's nonsensical behavior. Instead of following Xu Yunzhi to see what the other party was up to, he didn't even go inside to look for any useful information. He just looked at a painting and left.
Does the young master still remember why he came here? The guard was inwardly suffering! But he couldn't show it, after all, he was serving such a master!
After leaving Xu Yunzhi's lodging, Ji Wenxuan turned around and headed towards the military camp.
"Young master, that's the direction of the military camp."
The guard really didn't want to remind them, but seeing that they were almost there, he really couldn't pretend to be mute anymore.
"I know, I'm going to the military!"
Ji Wenxuan had a purpose in mind from the beginning, so he simply gave the guards a puzzled look when they reminded him.
Seeing his innocent appearance, the guard could no longer hold back. "Young master, we came to the border secretly following Xu Yun. Are you sure you want to go see the old general like this?"
Before leaving the capital, Ji Wenxuan clearly instructed them to keep a low profile along the way and not to let Xu Yunzhi's men find out.
But once they arrived at the frontier, it was Ji Wenxuan himself who forgot these words first.
“I know you followed me here secretly, but we’ve already reached the frontier, haven’t we? As the eldest grandson of the main branch, I naturally have to see my grandfather when I arrive at the frontier. Otherwise, what do you think I’m here for?”
Ji Wenxuan spoke with confidence and conviction, but what good was his confidence and conviction if the guards couldn't understand him?
"Do you really think Xu Yunzhi didn't know we've been lingering there for so long? Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether we're in the open or in the dark now."
Seeing the guard's bewildered expression, Ji Wenxuan reached out and patted his shoulder, his tone surprisingly comforting.
"oh!"
The guards finally understood. They had been keeping watch for nothing; no wonder the young master hadn't followed them. Since the other side had already discovered them, they naturally wouldn't let them see anything, so they might as well go inside and take a look.
Seeing that the guards finally understood, Ji Wenxuan nodded in satisfaction, put on his nonchalant demeanor, and strode to the military camp.
After leaving, Xu Yunzhi first circled around the bustling city. Only after his guards reported that no one was following him did Xu Yunzhi turn back to the outskirts of the city.
In the dimly lit room, a tall, burly man sat inside. Upon seeing Xu Yunzhi arrive, he quickly bowed to him.
"Have you made all the arrangements with your master?"
Xu Yunzhi disliked beating around the bush and went straight to the point. His expression was no longer as gentle and harmless as usual; instead, it had become more sharp and ruthless.
"Don't worry, Young Master Xu, my master has already made preparations. Once your travel documents arrive, the goods can be transported in directly."
The burly man treated Xu Yunzhi with respect, showing no contempt for him despite his less imposing stature.
“Very good. The clearance documents will be in your hands tomorrow. You should prepare in advance and deliver the goods on time at midnight tomorrow.”
After finishing his sentence, Xu Yunzhi bid farewell to the big man and immediately left his residence.
Meanwhile, at the city's garrison, Ji Wenxuan led his guards to the outside of the military camp.
"Halt! Who are you? Do you know what crime it is to trespass on a military camp?"
The soldiers held their spears to Ji Wenxuan's neck, as if the spears could pierce his throat if he dared to take a step forward.
Upon seeing this, Ji Wenxuan's lips curled slightly. As his gaze swept over the soldiers, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped away, bypassing the soldiers and entering the military camp.
"stop!"
Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers immediately became anxious and rushed over while shouting. Other patrolling officers and soldiers also quickly surrounded them. In a short while, Ji Wenxuan was completely surrounded.
"Who are you to trespass into a military camp? Seize you!"
The speaker was a vanguard general who, seeing Ji Wenxuan trying to outmaneuver his men, got angry and shouted loudly.
But Ji Wenxuan's face lit up with excitement upon hearing this. From childhood to adulthood, he had never spent time in the military like his brother, nor had he learned the grappling and fighting techniques his father had taught him.
Now that he's in the military camp, he naturally wants to see who is better, his self-taught martial arts skills or these trained officers and soldiers.
A wicked smile played on Ji Wenxuan's lips as he silently engaged in battle with the others.
Although he considered his martial arts skills to be quite good, under the orderly attacks of so many people, Ji Wenxuan gradually began to find himself unable to use his skills effectively. What's worse, several times the spears almost injured him.
"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting. I admit defeat, alright?"
Ji Wenxuan flipped over and jumped out of the crowd's encirclement, then quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy.
But the vanguard general wasn't about to let him go. Seeing him panting heavily, he pressed his advantage and had his subordinate, Ji Wenxuan, subdue him.
“If you dare to come to the military camp and cause trouble for us, bring us before the general.”
The vanguard general's face was full of murderous intent, especially when he heard Ji Wenxuan say that the fight was over. He almost lost his temper, but fortunately, strict discipline kept him from the urge to gather more people.
Not far away, General Ji had seen the situation long ago, but he had not shown up.
After all, if he had to intervene in such a trivial matter, how could the entire Great Zhou Dynasty have survived to this day? It would have been wiped out by the enemy long ago.
"Hey, be gentle."
Ji Wenxuan's hands were being held down, and the pain made him gasp in pain.
"Weren't you so smug just now? How come you can't even handle this little bit of pain? You call yourself a man? I bet you and that woman aren't exactly inseparable either."
The vanguard general had long wanted to vent his anger, and seeing how easily Ji Wenxuan was defeated, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
