Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor
Chapter 154 The Return of King Tan
Mang Zhuo's various behaviors during this period were actually a kind of temptation for Mang Yingli.
He wanted to use actions to tell Mang Yingli that he no longer had the ambition to compete for supremacy.
If Mang should choose a milder approach, or negotiate with him directly, he would give in.
But he didn't expect that Mang Yingli didn't even give him a chance to talk, and directly killed him. This also shows that in Mang Yingli's heart, he was never at ease with him.
Fortunately, Mang Zhuo had foresight and made preparations in advance. After relying on the power of Bai Sheng to break out of the siege, he fled all the way towards the military camp.
But what he never expected was that his military camp would also face the fate of being besieged.
Because Mang Yingli's army made a sneak attack, all Mang Zhuo's troops suffered heavy losses from the beginning.
Fortunately, Mang Zhuo came back in time and did not wait until the army completely collapsed.
After rushing back to the military camp, he commanded the remaining soldiers to successfully break out of the city.
At this time, his army had been killed and only six people were left.
Mang Zhuo was heartbroken and retreated to Mengmi Mountain with his remaining soldiers. He first joined Sishun's rebels and then welcomed King Tao from a mountain villager's home.
Then he burst into tears and cried bitterly:
"Your Highness, Mang Zhuo is willing to surrender to Daxia. Please forgive me for our offense."
Sishun then knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Your Highness, the guilty subject knows that he cannot escape the death penalty, and is willing to die to apologize. I only ask that Your Highness spares the guilty subject's family."
After this incident, Ji Qizhen also felt a lot.
If he hadn't tried his best to protect Liu Wei, Sishun would not have rebelled, and this would not have happened.
In addition, I remembered the two letters written by Hou Yao. In fact, the letters had predicted what would happen.
But at that time, he was blinded by his interests, and he only wanted to win over powerful generals like Liu Wei.
Even though he knew what kind of gang Liu Wei and his men were, he still chose to protect them to the end, which led to this big mistake.
It can be said that they have tricked themselves. Now that Mang Zhuo and Sishun want to surrender, it would be the best thing for them.
However, he has been under house arrest here for three or four months, and he doesn't know what the current situation of the war is.
But since he can force them to take the initiative to let him out, it shouldn't be bad:
"I am the prince of Daxia. I, the prince of Daxia, guard the gates of the country. If the king dies in Sheji, I will never let you use my life to threaten Daxia to withdraw its troops. If it is just a matter for you, I can agree to it."
Mang Zhuo and Sishun were overjoyed:
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."
……
Ji Wenjun lay on the couch and fell asleep with his eyes half-closed.
Suddenly a female soldier burst in from outside the door and shouted out of breath:
"Your Highness, Your Highness..., King Nie... His Highness King Nie... is back."
Ji Wenjun suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted:
"What? Emperor brother is back? What's going on?"
The female soldier took two breaths and said:
"It was Mang Zhuo and Sishun who surrendered on their own initiative, so they sent His Highness King Xi back. They are almost at Longchuan City."
Ji Wenjun shouted with surprise:
"Really, that's great. I have been worried that Brother Huang might be in danger, but now I don't have to worry about anything. How long will it take for them to arrive?"
"We are already ten miles outside the city. We will be able to enter the city in about an hour."
"Ah, then let's go and meet him...ah."
After Ji Wenjun finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, and then realized what he was like now, and suddenly let out a scream.
"Oh, no, if the emperor sees me like this... it's over, what can I do..., no, no, no, I can't let him see me."
After Ji Qizhen was escorted to Mengmi City by Mang Zhuo and Sishun, he was handed over to Deng Zilong who stayed here.
From Deng Zilong's mouth, he learned that the person who led the troops to rescue him this time was actually Ji Wenjun. He was so moved that he actually broke into a cold sweat for her.
Then he asked Deng Zilong to lead the troops to send him back to Longchuan City. At the same time, Mang Zhuo and Sishun went back with him.
As for Liugan Mangzhuo's army, they camped on the spot, waiting for the news to be processed.
Along the way to Ji Qizhen, he understood everything Ji Wenjun did.
He couldn't help but have endless sighs in his heart. If this sister wasn't here, he might really be finished this time.
It is even very possible to become the sinner of the Ji family. It is really thanks to Ji Wenjun's arrival. Otherwise, who else would have the courage to stop the Taungoo army?
He recognized Ji Wenjun's achievements, but now that he was five miles outside the city, someone should have gone in to report the news, right?
Why haven't I seen the imperial sister bring anyone to greet me yet?
Ji Qizhen's mind was filled with questions and he felt a little guilty. After all, he fell into trouble and it was the imperial sister who rescued him.
If Ji Wenjun hadn't really scared the enemy, they wouldn't have been able to send him back.
Isn't this imperial sister angry with herself?
When he arrived outside Longchuan City, he finally saw the team welcoming Wang Jia, but what he didn't expect was that Ji Wenjun was sitting in the phoenix chariot and had no intention of getting down.
A hint of unhappiness arose in Ji Qizhen's heart. Even if he was at fault first, he couldn't show off to himself like this, right?
"Congratulations, brother, on your return from the southern tour. Please go back to the hotel to rest first."
"Is the emperor's sister dissatisfied with this behavior of my brother's southern tour?"
"Brother, please don't misunderstand me. How could my sister be dissatisfied with my brother? Don't think too much about it. Go back to the hotel to rest and wash your hands."
"Then why don't you, my dear sister, get off the carriage and walk with me?"
"I'm not feeling well. Please forgive me, brother. If something happens, let's talk about it back to the hotel. Let's drive back to the hotel."
Ji Wenjun did not dare to quarrel with Ji Qizhen on this issue, so he just ordered to leave.
Ji Qizhen was furious. His own royal sister dared to deny him face like this. Was she going to rebel?
Back at the hotel, Ji Wenjun went back to his room without any explanation.
Although Ji Qizhen was extremely angry when he saw Ji Wenjun's behavior, he was at fault first, so he could only suppress his anger.
But now he is only one step away from being furious.
Two days later, Mangzhuo and Sishun could no longer hold themselves back and came to see King Tan.
I hope to meet Princess Wenjun. Princess Wenjun is in power now, and King Tan's words are not very effective.
Ji Qizhen sent someone to inform Ji Wenjun, but the person who came back only brought back one sentence:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has said that Her Royal Highness Prince Tan can decide how to deal with the two of them by himself."
Ji Qizhen was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, and felt his head was buzzing.
But in front of Mang Zhuo and Sishun, he could only suppress his anger, persuade them with good words, and then let them go back and wait for the news.
As soon as the two of them left, he walked straight to Ji Wenjun's bedroom in a rage.
The female guard at Ji Wenjun's door blocked him:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has an order. If you don't see anyone today, please come back, Your Royal Highness."
Ji Qizhen's pent-up anger could no longer be restrained:
"My king has to see her today. Let's see who of you dares to stop me. Ji Wenjun, come out and see me."
As he said that, he barged in directly. The female guard did not dare to hurt King Xi, so naturally it was impossible to stop him.
"Bang" sound.
Kicking the door open, King Tan rushed into the bedroom:
"Ji Wenjun, you are so brave. How dare you ignore me like this? Do you want to rebel? You have forgotten how my brother was before... ah you..."
In the bedroom, Ji Wenjun curled up on the bed like a frightened bird. Although she tried her best to hide it, how could she easily hide her bulging belly?
Ji Qizhen was stunned for dozens of seconds, feeling as if the world was spinning.
He has thought about many possibilities in the past two days. For example, Ji Wenjun disliked him for losing the royal family's face.
Or maybe Ji Wenjun was too ambitious and was afraid that he would come back to seize her military power.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that she would not dare to see him because of cowardice, let alone that the reason for her cowardice was that she was pregnant.
Pregnancy before marriage was a taboo and shameful thing even in the open Tang Dynasty. In Great Xia, it was not only embarrassing, but also life-threatening.
The female guards both knelt down:
"Your Highness, we cannot stop His Highness King Xi, please punish us."
Ji Wenjun gradually calmed down. Anyway, she had discovered that she was not afraid of boiling water:
"You guys go down first. I want to talk to the emperor alone, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb me.
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the female guards got up and left the room, Ji Wenjun calmed down and said slowly:
"The Imperial Sister congratulates the Imperial Brother for his safe return. Since the Imperial Brother has returned, the future government affairs of Longchuan will be handled by the Imperial Brother himself. Later, I will ask Chen Yu to make a handover with the Imperial Brother."
Ji Qizhen was in a daze for a long time and replied:
"Government affairs? Shouldn't the imperial sister explain to me first what's going on with your body?"
Ji Wenjun laughed and said:
"Oh, my dear sister has been a bit greedy recently and has gained weight. My dear brother, don't think too much about it, let Chen Yu do it later..."
Ji Qizhen finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily:
"Do you think that I am a three-year-old child? The youngest of your nephews and nieces are five years old. Do you think that I am so stupid that I can't tell the difference between being fat and pregnant?"
Ji Wenjun smiled awkwardly, knowing that he couldn't get past the sloppy eyes, so he said:
"Brother, please calm down first. In fact, this is a small matter. Don't worry, brother, no one knows about the news that my sister is pregnant with Liujia. It will be fine after the baby is born in a few months."
Ji Qizhen was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"You actually want to give birth to the child? Do you know what the consequences will be? After such a scandal, how can you still dare to give birth to the child? Doesn't this leave an excuse for others? When the time comes, you will be criticized. Who can protect you? Do you know why the court didn’t give you any reward for defending Guangzhou last time? Even the queen mother’s uprising in the court was suppressed by the father. How many pairs of eyes are staring at us now? , expecting us to make mistakes?"
Ji Wenjun said indifferently:
"They can keep an eye on them if they like. The world is so big anyway, there is always a place for them. If they really push me into a panic, I will lead my troops to kill their whole family. Let's see if they are afraid of those talkative bitches."
Ji Qizhen looked at Ji Wenjun in disbelief, and suddenly felt a strange feeling about her. After a long while, he sighed:
"With all the talk in the world, how can it be solved by just killing?"
Ji Wenjun chuckled and said:
"Is there anything that cannot be solved? History is written by the victors, just like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he is killed and his head is rolling, no matter how big a mistake is, it can be covered up..."
He wanted to use actions to tell Mang Yingli that he no longer had the ambition to compete for supremacy.
If Mang should choose a milder approach, or negotiate with him directly, he would give in.
But he didn't expect that Mang Yingli didn't even give him a chance to talk, and directly killed him. This also shows that in Mang Yingli's heart, he was never at ease with him.
