Chapter 97: The True Face of Mount Lu (I) Update
He said, "Young Marquis, have you made up your mind?"
Liu Ziye nodded. "This is the safest approach. If I use my temporary power and the Great Zhou Dynasty's status to forcefully intervene in the affairs of the Eight Tribes, it might work, but it's not a long-term strategy. The Eight Tribes have always had a tradition of having a leader. Looking at the eight tribes now, the Di Tribe clearly possesses this qualification."
"For me, all we need is a relationship of non-aggression, mutual development, and mutual benefit. That's the best."
Hearing this, Jin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mo Zhe and said, "Father, the young marquis has a long-term vision, and the Di tribe should also take on the responsibility."
Seeing his eldest son agree, Mo Zhe Yiti solemnly said, "Young Marquis, although you are in the Great Zhou, you are truly committed to the long-term well-being of our people in the Eight Tribes. Mo Zhe Yiti will certainly live up to your mission."
"That's great." After finishing another task, Liu Ziye smiled with ease.
At this moment, Jin Jie stood up from his seat.
He walked to Liu Ziye's seat, and Liu Ziye looked up at him in some confusion.
The next moment, she lowered her head, slightly lowering her head to look at Jin Jie who was kneeling on one knee in front of her.
She looked surprised.
No, what are these two going to do?
One of them kneeled down as soon as they met, catching her off guard, and the other turned around and imitated his father ten percent!
Jin Jie raised his hand and gently pressed her to comfort her.
"Young Marquis, I, Mo Zhe Nian, entered the mansion back then. Although, as you said, I have shared hardships with the mansion, my original intentions were by no means sincere. Over the past few years, I have benefited greatly from my interactions with you. As for today, you do not truly take my deception of that time seriously, and you still trust me and treat the Di clan well."
"My father Khan is here today. I, Mo Zhe Nian, am willing to swear in front of him to give up my position as the next King Khan of the Di tribe. I will continue to follow the young Marquis of Xiguan without any other thoughts."
Liu Ziye tapped the teacup in his hand lightly.
A pair of phoenix eyes opened slightly, looking at Jin Jie in disbelief.
Mo Zhe hadn't expected his eldest son to suddenly make such a decision, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Nian'er!"
His eldest son, Mo Zhe Nian, has always been his most favored heir. Although he has four sons, he has never made any other choice except his eldest son!
In the silence, Liu Ziye let out a soft "tsk".
She looked back at Jin Jie, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Who said I didn't care at all?"
"Um?"
The style of painting suddenly changed, and Mo Zheyi was a little slow to catch up.
Liu Ziye: "Before, I had important matters to attend to, so I couldn't settle the matter with you. Now, considering your meritorious service in the war, I will only put it aside for now. As for the future, it depends on your performance to see the results. Oh, by the way, I was just about to tell you that starting tomorrow, all the guards around you will be appointed by me."
She listed them one by one: "Xia Wu and Zhang Shan are doing well in their training now. We should give them more opportunities to stand on their own in the future. And that guy named Zhu Bing is not bad either. We should use him when necessary."
"As for those arsenals, Ah Huan and Ah Bi will participate in the highest decision-making and management as chief military engineers..."
As she spoke, her eyes once again flashed with a strange and faintly reckless look.
Jin Jie was very familiar with this. He only curled the corners of his lips slightly, but held back and did not let the smile grow. Instead, he remained as respectful and solemn as ever.
After Liu Ziye finished explaining her subsequent adjustments and plans for the army, he said, "Okay, I'll do my best and get everything done."
Mo Zheyi stared at his eldest son without arguing a word. He responded without hesitation to whatever the young Marquis of Xiguan said.
What about this young marquis of Xiguan?
Although he said so much, his attitude was always intimate and relaxed.
It was as if he knew clearly that no matter what he threw, his eldest son would catch it without blinking.
Mo Zheyi sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
have to.
I'm afraid he has to think carefully about which of his three sons has the possibility of succeeding him.
Fortunately, he is not yet in his twilight years, so it is not impossible to spend ten or eight years to train him well.
Mo Zhe looked at his eldest son who had caused him such a big problem with a bad look, and suddenly thought of it -
Since this job was found by the eldest son, let him solve it himself!
At this time, Jin Jie did not know that his father, the Khan, had put the responsibility of training the heir on his shoulders.
Liu Ziye waved at Jin Jie: "Get up."
Then, she frowned slightly and said to him unhappily, "Could you please do less of this kind of thing next time where you kneel down and swear an oath at the slightest disagreement?"
Jin Jie naturally agreed.
At this moment, Xiying outside the tent curtain shouted: "Young Marquis! An urgent red letter has arrived!"
Red letters represent the highest level of urgency. According to Liu Ziye's rules, such letters must be handed to her immediately no matter when they are delivered.
She put away her relaxed expression, calmed down and said, "Send it over."
Jin Jie also stood up again and stepped back three steps.
Xiying: “Yes!”
He walked in quickly from behind the curtain and solemnly handed the letter to Liu Ziye.
The specially made fire seal was opened, and the content of the letter was very concise. Liu Ziye quickly glanced at it and couldn't help but pursed half of his lips.
She put the letter away again, stood up from the main seat, and said to Mo Zhe, "Wang Han, there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with at home, so I can't continue to receive you today."
Mo Zhe also said straightforwardly: "Young Marquis, go and deal with it yourself, no need to worry."
Liu Ziye greeted Mo Zhe again, then turned his gaze to Jin Jie and quickly left the barracks.
The curtain fell, leaving only Jin Jie and Mo Zhe Yiti.
Mo Zhe's face turned pale when he heard this. For the first time, he didn't want to pay attention to his eldest son and sat down in the chair sullenly.
Jin Jie stepped forward and, following the Di custom, raised his right arm and placed it on his left chest, then knelt on one knee. "Father Khan, please forgive me, Father Khan."
"snort!"
Mo Zhe didn't say anything when he mentioned it.
He also didn't expect that as the king of the clan, at the age of almost fifty, he would be so unrestrained in front of his son and just want to throw tantrums.
Jin Jie added, "Father, I have made up my mind on this matter. I know you are angry, but you really can't bear to part with your son. You love him dearly, and he has disappointed you."
Mo Zhe's expression relaxed slightly and he sighed, "So what? Is there any chance you could change your mind?"
Sure enough, after he asked, he saw his eldest son shook his head without hesitation.
"snort!"
Mo Zhe snorted again, stood up angrily, and turned to go to the back of the barracks.
"Father Khan!"
Hearing his voice, Mo Zhe, who was walking quickly, hesitated for a moment and finally stopped.
Jin Jie said, "Father, I sent someone to Yucheng Academy yesterday to pick up Xiao Si'er. He should be here after noon. Xiao Si'er has been missing you very much. Since I'm here, why don't you stay a little longer and let Xiao Si'er accompany you on a walk around Xiguan."
Thinking of his youngest son who was only seven or eight years old and followed his elder brother and the shaman to leave home and come to Xiguan, Mo Zheyi was still a little angry, but he couldn't bear to lose his temper.
He just straightened his face and said, "I know."
He turned to glance at his eldest son, who was still kneeling on the ground, apologizing. "Get up! The young marquis needs you. I'm afraid your mind would have already flown away while you're kneeling here! Go, go! Hurry!"
"I'm waiting here for Xiao Si'er to accompany me. My youngest son is the most caring!"
After saying that, he went to the back of the room without looking back.
As soon as he entered the tent of the young marquis of Xiguan, Jin Jie saw Hao Wenchang, Xia Wu, Zhu Bing and even several people from the park already waiting in the tent.
Xiying was also included in the account, and several personal guards were either inside the camp or outside the barracks.
But the young marquis was not sitting in her seat at this time.
When they saw him come in, no one in the tent recognized him at first.
Although he had completely changed his face, his inherent aura was very recognizable from the moment he appeared.
Xia Wu and Zhu Bing stood up and looked back and forth.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to call out, "Captain Jin, Captain Jin!"
Jin Jie had already walked to his side at this time. Hearing this, he patted his shoulder and motioned him to sit back.
This is a direct admission!
For a moment, Hao Wenchang and the others looked back and forth at each other, and could only ask, "Is this the true face of Chief Guard Jin? Does the young marquis know about this?"
Jin Jie had known this would happen and said patiently, "Young Marquis, I understand. I agree to meet you this way from now on."
"That's good, that's good."
Hao Wenchang nodded without knowing what was going on.
Then everyone began to explore Jin Weichang's new headdress with great interest.
Xiying was the only one in the room, standing there stiffly.
Occasionally, his eyes met Jin Jie's face, which was so irritating that he was about to die, and he would just snort and turn away!
Xia Wu and Zhu Bing saw this and couldn't help but laugh.
Jin Jie asked him, "Where is the young marquis?"
Xia Wu quickly stopped laughing and said, "In the back room. The young marquis just told us to wait for him here for a while."
"good."
After the initial novelty wore off, it was no longer appropriate for everyone to continue surrounding Jin Jie and asking him questions.
After all, Jin Jie usually has a cold face and doesn't talk much. Today, he patiently let them look at him and ask questions, and everyone thought it was a good opportunity and decided to stop.
Xia Wu came closer and whispered in a low voice, "Teacher Huan and Teacher Bi are here too, but they're not waiting here like us. They're staying behind the barracks with the young marquis."
When Xia Wu said this, it was obvious that he wanted to communicate with Jin Jie and hint at something.
But after he said that, he found that Jin Jie had no interest in his gossip at all.
As expected, he is Captain Jin!
Even if Mount Tai collapsed, he wouldn't change color! What's more, they had seen this many times before, the young marquis getting close to Ah Huan and Ah Bi!
He retracted his head in embarrassment and closed his restless mouth.
A moment later, footsteps were heard from behind the barracks. Everyone in the hall knew that it was the young Marquis of Xiguan who had come out, and subconsciously looked towards the entrance to the back hall.
The curtain was lifted, and the first thing that caught the eye was a cinched-waist brocade silk dress.
This sky-blue silk dress was exquisitely crafted and richly embroidered, yet no one knew who it belonged to. When had such a woman entered the young marquis's rear quarters?
As soon as this hint of doubt emerged, everyone discovered that the Wenlong jade pendant worn around the woman's waist was exactly the same as the one the young marquis wore every day!
Finally, when everyone focused their attention back on the face of the woman with narrow eyes and a high nose bridge, they all jumped up from their seats like somersaults!
"Little Marquis!?"
