Chapter 583: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 30

Cai Pengju only arrived in the Northern Border three years ago. He was promoted by Hu Anshan and was not an old subordinate of the Duke. He disliked Ji Yunhuan. He didn't believe that a woman could have such high martial arts skills. There must be something fishy.

Cai Pengju muttered quietly, "The military merit must have been stolen. I wonder which unlucky guy is so unlucky that he can't say anything when his merit was stolen."

"Shut up! You are so careless with your mouth. Sooner or later, you will die because of your own mouth."

After Hu Anshan scolded Cai Pengju, he turned to Yuwen Yi and said, "General Yi is definitely not the kind of person who abuses his power for personal gain. Since he has appointed Miss Ji as General Zhaowu, he must have his own plans. I will write a memorial as soon as possible and ask the Ministry of War to expedite the process."

Yuwen Yi felt uncomfortable after hearing this, as if he had really done something tricky. It was obvious that Ji Yunhuan's military achievements were all real and not exaggerated at all.

Even because Ji Yunhuan didn't count, she actually killed more enemies than reported.

Yuwen Yi wanted to explain, but he was afraid that the more he explained, the more mistakes he would make. He knew he was not good at this, so he simply stopped arguing. Time would prove everything.

Hu Anshan has extensive connections in the capital, and this title of General Zhaowu was conferred by Yuwen Yi. But if Hu Anshan could raise a question, Ji Yunhuan's document could be issued as soon as possible.

"In that case, I will have to trouble General Hu."

Yuwen Yi didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he abruptly changed the subject and talked about the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

"This war was started by Jiang Tongguang. He accepted bribes and abused his power for personal gain. He let the Wujin people into the city and deployed many secret sentries in the city to support the Wujin people's actions. He intended to kill me."

"Fortunately, General Ji discovered it in time, giving Shanhaiguan time to prepare. The Wujin people attacked the city, and Shanhaiguan had a hard time. It was also thanks to General Ji's help in recruiting people from the martial arts world that Shanhaiguan was barely defended, and the Wujin people were prevented from entering the city to burn, kill, loot, and humiliate the people."

"Jiang Tongguang was a sinister person. He intended to use the lives of the people as bargaining chips to take my life and occupy the granary. I killed him on the spot. Considering that I knew him, his body has been collected and will be transported back to the capital on a chosen day."

Hu Anshan was surprised and asked, "You killed him? Why didn't you arrest him? He is not some unknown person, but the youngest son of the Jiang family. Whether he is dead or alive, he should be escorted back to Beijing first to see what the Jiang family thinks. How can you explain to the Jiang family if you just killed him like this?"

"Although Jiang Tongguang is the son of the second wife and is not as promising as the two sons of the first wife, he is the blood of the Jiang family after all. You are too careless. If the Jiang family investigates, it will be a troublesome matter!"

Yuwen Yi explained: "The situation was critical at the time, and I had no choice but to do it. I originally wanted to persuade him to give up the dark and join the light, but he didn't listen and insisted on going all the way to the end. He thought that if I died, he could take my place, and he got a lot of benefits from the Wujin people, so he took the risk."

Yuwen Yi did not mention Prince Rui at all, although he knew that Prince Rui was definitely behind this. Prince Rui had wanted him dead for more than a day or two. Since Jiang Tongguang had surrendered to Prince Rui, he naturally had to please him.

After having been to the gates of hell several times over the years, he has become more cautious. He no longer says whatever he sees and seeks the truth in everything as he did before.

He knew that even if he put the evidence in front of the emperor, Prince Rui would be able to speak eloquently and confuse right and wrong, and the emperor would only believe Prince Rui and not him.

Hu Anshan sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Forget it, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to take care of His Highness."

Yuwen Yi couldn't help but sneered, "I'm doing this for my country, it's my duty! Jiang Tongguang's actions were betrayal, killing him alone would be too easy for him. I think the Jiang family is to blame, if we really investigate, the Jiang family will all be imprisoned!"

Ji Yunhuan listened from the side without saying anything.

The Jiang family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its branches and leaves are flourishing and cannot be easily shaken. She understood Yuwen Yi's kindness. She was the one who killed the man, but Yuwen Yi took the blame on himself.

If the Jiang family really holds a grudge, it is towards Yuwen Yi and will not take revenge on her.

Yuwen Yi insisted on doing so, and Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to let him go.

He could understand Yuwen Yi's anger. So many people died in this battle, but if Jiang Tongguang returned to Beijing for trial, he might be able to save his life.

Prince Rui stayed out of the matter. Perhaps he only needed a hint to let Jiang Tongguang plan everything for him.

"General Yi, please be patient. Whether the Jiang family is guilty or not is still up to His Majesty to decide. We are far away in the northern border and cannot control these matters."

Hu Anshan originally wanted to use Jiang Tongguang's life to do the Jiang family a favor, but now he has to give up.

"The Urda you killed was the cousin of the old King Wujin. This time, the old King Wujin was also desperate. He was buried up to his neck in the earth, but he still refused to give up and insisted on coming to Chen Country to rob. If he couldn't rob Jiayu Pass, he would risk crossing the Yixian Peak to rob Shanhaiguan."

"However, the Crown Prince of Wujin Kingdom is unaware of this. He has already sent an envoy here, expressing his willingness to negotiate peace again. However, due to filial piety, he cannot do anything to the old King Wujin. He can only let the old King Wujin endure his fate."

"Anyway, the old King Wujin can't hold out for too long. Now that the crown prince is in power, there will be no more disputes in the future. I have agreed with the envoys to negotiate peace in three days and return the prisoners. You can all go together then. It will also be a grand event. General Yi should stay in Jiayuguan first. After this matter is settled, it won't be too late to return to Shanhaiguan."

Everyone was discussing the peace talks enthusiastically, as if it was a done deal, and they were not aware of the ambitions of the Wujin Kingdom at all.

Ji Yunhuan couldn't help but remind them, "Generals, Wujin would never attack Shanhaiguan without a reason. If the prince was really in power, why would he let Wuerda send troops? Unless Wujin was not under the control of the prince at all, or the prince also acquiesced to the action of sending troops."

"They definitely want to occupy Shanhaiguan first, cut off the supply to Jiayuguan, and then attack from both sides to slowly swallow Jiayuguan. Although Shanhaiguan is safe and sound, there is no guarantee that they will attack again. Is it too early to talk about peace talks now?"

Cai Pengju sneered, "These are all your wild guesses. The Crown Prince of Wujin has always loved peace and yearned for the culture of Chen. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Besides, it's winter now. I'm afraid the people of Wujin can't even eat, so they can only beg our Chen country for help."

Ji Yunhuan said: "How do we know that these are not tricks of the Crown Prince of Wujin Kingdom? How could a pure and harmless rabbit be born in a wilderness where wolves and tigers fight each other? If the Crown Prince is really so gentle and harmless, he can't control Wujin Kingdom!"

"The prince is young, but more courageous than old King Wujin. You thought they wouldn't go to war in the winter, but he did the exact opposite!"

"I have received news from the martial arts world. There have been many unusual movements in the surrounding small countries in the north. They must be helping Wujin Country manufacture weapons and prepare supplies. Some countries have even sent a large number of military slaves to Wujin Country to help. It doesn't look like they want peace at all."
