The cavalrymen who had looted food and medicinal materials had already retreated.
By the time Zhonglizhou reacts, it's probably too late!
Tal felt proud just thinking about this: "You can have fun here! Next time we meet, it's either you die or I live! Hahahaha!!"
He blew the whistle to summon the falcons, and the peregrine falcons in the sky spread their wings and flew high, chasing in the direction of Tal.
···
"That's it? I handed the person over to you, and you just ran away like that?"
Ji Changying suddenly felt as if he was dreaming.
The situation was obviously good, but they just let it go? ! !
Zhong Lizhou looked at Tal running recklessly outside, his expression somewhat unreadable. "It's not the end yet, who can say for sure who will win or lose? Alright! It's time to clean up the mess."
"No, this, I..."
Ji Changying watched him decisively turn around and walk down the city wall, his mind full of questions.
"So I worked in vain!"
Seeing Ji Changying's speechless expression, Ji Mingxue consoled her, "Well, it wasn't all in vain. We saved quite a few people! Oh, and my brothers are waiting for me to pick them up!"
Ji Mingxue slapped his forehead and remembered the important matter.
"Aying! Why aren't you following me?" Zhonglizhou turned around to talk to her, and found that she was still standing on the city wall, so he turned around and called her.
“Oh, here it comes!”
Ji Changying lowered her voice, "You have to be smart and quickly bring Song Yifei over! Whether you can lead your two brothers to victory depends on this time! I'll go and pave the way for you and calm the situation down."
Ji Mingxue was excited: "Hold on, hold on, sister! I'll hurry over right away!"
The two of them acted separately. Ji Mingxue rushed towards the north of the inner city in a hurry, and Ji Changying caught up with Zhong Lizhou who was waiting for her. The group returned to the station.
After everyone was seated, Chang Yu and several military officers and deputy generals also arrived.
Seeing Ji Changying sitting next to Zhonglizhou, Brigadier General Yang, Lin Zhi and others were already used to it, but Chang Yu and Wang Liqing glanced at her again and again.
Ji Changying looked back at them one by one, and only when the older men who were looking at her avoided her gaze and dared not look directly at her or glance at her again did she stop.
"Ahem, General Chang, how is your injury?"
Noticing the little movements of a few people, Zhonglizhou interrupted them with a dry cough and looked at Chang Yu with concerned questions.
Chang Yu bared his teeth and pulled out the broken bronze mirror from his bosom. "My Lord, thanks to your foresight, I'm fine. I have to say that Tal's kick was really fierce. If I hadn't turned around and aimed the bronze mirror at his foot, I'm afraid that kick would have cost me half my life."
"As long as you're alright, I'll be fine. When we get back, I'll use some medicinal wine to dissolve the bruises on my body. I'll be fine after some rest. How are Duan Yunzheng and the others doing now?"
Zhong Lizhou expressed his concern for a few words before getting down to business. Lieutenant General Yang immediately stepped forward to report, "Zhang Ke and Duan Yunzheng's men are acting as bait. He Zhang is leading our men in a feigned pursuit to lure them towards the prince."
After hearing this, Ji Changying now understood what Zhonglizhou meant. It turns out he did this on purpose!
"Very good! Father is over there, so we don't need to worry about the rest. On the way back, arrest Zhang Ke and Duan Yunzheng and interrogate them thoroughly. Also, send someone to bring back Jiang Zhuo's body."
The situation has been stabilized for the time being, but what happened to Tieling Guard this time is not a small matter.
Jiang Zhuo was lucky enough to die directly, otherwise he would have been living a life worse than death, and the Jiang family would have been implicated.
Speaking of Jiang Zhuo's death, Zhonglizhou paused and thought of Ji Mingxue. He turned to look at Ji Changying and asked, "Why is your brother here?"
"My brother is under Duan Yunzheng's command! Of course he's here. Oh, and my brother knows about this incident. The traitor of Tieling Guard is in my brother's hands now, and he's already gone to retrieve him."
"Your brother has a traitor on his hands?"
Wang Liqing couldn't help but get excited when he heard Ji Changying's words. If there was someone who knew the inside story, things would be much simpler.
"My brother happened to be on patrol tonight. He witnessed the entire incident and saw one of Jiang Zhuo's lieutenants push him into Tal's hands. And then..."
Ji Changying sat there and told the whole story of how Ji Mingxue captured Song Yifei. After hearing it, Brigadier General Yang and Lin Zhi looked at each other.
This... Miss Ji is really devoted to her brother!
He hid his own achievements and put all the blame on his brother. One has to say that they were a little envious.
"I know Song Yifei and Zhang Ke. They're both skilled in martial arts and were originally from the Jianghu. Later, they followed Jiang Zhuo because he showed them kindness. From what I know, Jiang Zhuo treated them well. How could Song Yifei betray him?"
Chang Yu frowned, not expecting this to happen so suddenly.
"I don't know that either! Ask when someone comes."
Ji Changying spread her hands to express her helplessness. It was not her job to solve the case, so how would she know?
Ji Mingxue quickly rushed over with Xu Yong and Ma Ankang. When he entered the room, he was holding the half-dead Song Yifei in his hands.
It was not the first time that Ji Mingxue met them, so he walked forward to greet them calmly. However, Xu Yong and Ma Ankang were much more nervous. After stammering and greeting Zhong Lizhou, they stood close to Ji Mingxue.
Zhong Lizhou took one look at Song Yifei's soft noodle-like hands and feet and knew that this was Ji Changying's masterpiece. "Find a doctor to reconnect his hands and feet."
Otherwise, he would have died from the torture.
"I'll do it! I can set bones."
Anyway, it was her fault, so no one else needs to get involved.
Ji Changying took a few steps forward. Song Yifei looked at her with resentment, as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her to death.
She felt no psychological pressure in the face of such a look, and she quickly reconnected her arms and legs. Song Yifei was in so much pain that sweat covered his forehead.
As soon as he recovered, Chang Yu couldn't wait to interrogate him: "Why did you betray Jiang Zhuo?"
"When did I betray the captain? It was Zhang Ke who betrayed you! If you don't believe me, you can just ask you to come and confront me!"
At this time, Song Yifei didn't know that Jiang Zhuo was dead. He looked at Chang Yu confidently and fearlessly.
"Ha!" Chang Yu sneered, "Jiang Zhuo is already dead. On his way back, Zhang Ke only needs to ask who is guarding the city gate at night. He'll find out who it is by following the clues. There's no point in being stubborn."
Song Yifei was very emotional:
"Impossible! Although Zhang Ke pushed the Lord into Tal's hands, didn't he still intend to use the Lord as a hostage? Why would he kill him?! Did you take this opportunity to kill Lord Jiang so that you can put all the blame on him later?"
If Ji Changying hadn't seen with her own eyes how this man pushed Jiang Zhuo in front of the enemy with a palm, seeing his appearance, she would probably have suspected that she had wronged him.
"Report—"
"Duan Yunzheng and Zhang Ke have been taken back and are waiting outside."
