Chapter 161 Chaos
Chapter 161 Chaos
Ultimately, it’s because the emperor and his guards are good at martial arts.
Apart from anything else, the wolf raised by the Hulun brothers was not easy to deal with.
It is not something that an ordinary person can do to sneak around and assassinate the two Hulun brothers without being noticed.
You should know that a wolf's sense of smell is stronger than a dog's, and any abnormality from a long distance can be discovered by a wolf.
This is also the reason why the people of Beidong currently do not suspect that someone has sneaked into the military camp to attack their commander.
I just thought it was a coincidence that the four main generals had accidents at the same time.
The second prince had evil intentions towards the third princess, but the third princess refused to obey and stabbed the second prince with a dagger.
The second prince strangled the third princess to death in anger.
Coincidentally, the two Hulun generals had a quarrel that night, which eventually turned into a fight, and they accidentally killed each other.
In the end, they both died, which is really sad.
Seeing the young emperor again, Ji Wuqi was filled with admiration.
It is rare to find a good emperor who is brave, resourceful, powerful, and loves his people like his own children.
"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
"I'm going to sneak into Beidong with Leng Qi to do something later, and I'll explain it to you guys."
"I brought all the soldiers from the Divine Machine Battalion with me to the Northern Territory this time, and there are some with problems among them."
"I will give you a list of my men when the time comes. Ji Yechen, you can handle your soldiers on your own."
Ji Yechen was shocked and immediately stood up straight.
"Yes, I will take care of it."
"The soldiers of the Shenji Camp are still under your command, and the troops you brought with you will be handed over to Leng Ba."
"Who is the Emperor Leng Ba?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that from now on, An Ba's surname will be called Leng Ba."
Ji Yechen and Ji Wuqi both looked at Leng Qi who was following Leng Qingyi.
Only then did I realize that his identity was a secret guard, but it was not difficult to guess that with this attire he was either a secret guard or a killer.
"I came to the border quietly, and I'll need you two to provide some cover when the army arrives."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also, my return date is uncertain. If I have any news, I will ask Leng Ba to pass it on to you."
"Yes."
"Find me two sets of clothes from ordinary Beidong people, and I'll change into them and leave."
"Your Majesty, don't you need to bring some men?"
"No need. Too many people are a burden."
"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous for you to go to Beidong alone. Why don't you let Chen'er go? Although he's a little stupid, he's quite reliable."
Ji Yechen on the side widened his eyes, unable to believe that his fifth uncle would say that to him.
"No need, you two just need to protect the people and land of Dongxia."
When Ji Wuqi said this, his face turned ugly, and his eyes were full of guilt and self-blame.
He knelt on the ground with a thud and pleaded with Leng Qingyi: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of not protecting the people of that village. Please punish me."
He should have apologized when he met the emperor last night. It was his dereliction of duty that allowed hundreds of civilians to die tragically at the hands of the enemy.
Leng Qingyi sighed deeply and helped Ji Wuqi up with his own hands.
"I don't blame you. No one expected the people of Beidong to be so brutal. Not only did they occupy the village, but they also massacred the people. It's the fault of those Beidong beasts."
"I can distinguish right from wrong. If it was your fault, I would have punished you when I arrived yesterday. I hope this won't happen again."
Ji Wuqi's eyes were a little red, for the people who died tragically, and also for meeting a wise ruler.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I guarantee with my life that as long as I am alive, I will not let any Dongxia citizen die at the hands of the enemy."
Leng Qing patted Ji Wuqi on the shoulder. He was the only one among the many sons of the Wu Kingdom who had the talent to lead troops and fight.
Although he is not as good as the previous Duke of Wu, he is also a famous general. If the eldest son of the Duke of Wu had not given birth to a good son, the position of Duke would probably have fallen to Ji Wuqi.
The close relationship between the uncle and nephew shows that the Wuguo Mansion is upright.
After explaining some trivial matters, Leng Qingyi and Leng Qi changed into the clothes of ordinary Beidong men and left the military camp in broad daylight, avoiding the patrol of the soldiers.
The uncle and nephew sighed together as they looked at the two men's backs.
"Why are you sighing, kid?"
"Uncle, why are you sighing?"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and from a distance they looked more like brothers than uncle and nephew.
"Such a good emperor doesn't have a good family background, no outside family to rely on, and needs to fight on the battlefield to gain military merit in order to secure his throne."
"Alas, God is really a teasing man. If the emperor had a better background, Dongxia would surely be much more powerful than it is now."
"Not really."
"Oh? What do you think?"
Ji Yechen recalled the emperor's methods and couldn't help but marvel at them.
"The Emperor is a real tiger, Uncle Wu, did you know that? During the autumn hunt, the Emperor chose Sanjue Mountain, where there are many wild beasts. That place is not only full of wild beasts, but also many assassins. The Emperor, with one tiger and one wolf, directly attacked the assassins' lair."
"If the Emperor had a good family background and had grown up smoothly, he wouldn't necessarily have this kind of courage."
Ji Wuqi thought about it for a moment and felt that what Ji Yechen said made sense.
"You are right. If the Emperor had any concerns, he would not take such a risk."
"Oh, if only I could have the emperor's martial arts skills, I could come and go freely in the heavily guarded military camp in broad daylight."
"Oh, I'm so envious now. I wonder who cried as a child and said they would never do horse stance again."
"Fifth Uncle! That happened so long ago, and you're still talking about it."
Ji Wuqi coughed lightly a few times and straightened his expression.
"Chen'er, you are right. The guards in our barracks are still not strict enough. We need to add a few more teams of guards."
"Fifth Uncle, how many people in the world can be as skilled in martial arts as the Emperor?"
"Hmph, how many? I think all the secret guards around the emperor are capable. We are not afraid of how many martial arts masters there are among our own people, but we are afraid that there is one such person in the enemy. We must be on guard."
Ji Yechen couldn't help but recall the three assassins who had previously tried to assassinate the emperor.
Even if he and Ling Xuan joined forces, they would still find it difficult to subdue him. There was no guarantee that there was no such expert in Beidong.
"Uncle Wu, wait for me, I'll go with you."
The uncle and nephew were arranging to add a few more guards to prevent people with high martial arts skills from sneaking into the camp and stealing any secrets.
On the other side, the two people who left the military camp have embarked on their journey to Northern Winter.
Beidong is located on the endless grassland, and there are very few villages and towns like Dongxia.
The entire Beidong is composed of dozens of large and small tribes. After the two left the Dongxia military camp, they first sneaked into the Beidong military camp to gather information.
It was learned that the matter was accidentally leaked by the servant, causing the entire military camp to know about it. By the time the other deputy generals learned about it, it had already spread and could not be suppressed.
The Khan's children were also involved. They were terrified of the disaster this incident would bring to them, but they did not dare not report it.
The entire military camp was in chaos. The four main generals were all killed, and the remaining deputy generals wanted to take the opportunity to fight to the death.
