Chapter 902 3 Army
As if he had noticed Jiang Youzhen's gaze, Ke Zhenqiu shifted his gaze from the beauty and saw the look in Jiang Youzhen's eyes. He shook his glass and smiled at Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen regarded this as a provocation, but the grasshopper in autumn could not jump for long.
"Haha! My dear brother, it's a misunderstanding. There are no relatives or friends in front of family and country. You thought that this general was colluding with foreign vassals, so you wanted to kill your relatives for the sake of justice. In fact, this general is deeply relieved." Prince Yuan Ming at the top suddenly said.
His words were extremely ironic, but he still bailed out Ke Zhenqiu. Jiang Youzhen was curious about what kind of deal they had.
Ke Zhenqiu immediately stood up, raised his glass, and said apologetically, "It was truly my ignorance that led me to be deceived by the foreign vassal, causing me to do something foolish and nearly harm Lord Jiang. Fortunately, Lord Jiang saw through everything and cleared the Crown Prince and me. Otherwise, I would have truly been a sinner."
"That's all right! Lord Ke was simply deceived by a traitor, but Lord Jiang is truly a master of strategy! I didn't expect him to form an alliance with Lord Sun so early on, otherwise this general would have been in great danger."
Prince Yuan Ming sighed, but the people around Jiang Youzhen were quite powerful, so it was no wonder that those people who sent people to assassinate him were useless, as they were just asking for death.
"Your Highness, you are too kind!" Jiang Youzhen just stood up and made some polite remarks.
She sat down and thought, Duke Qin should be arriving soon in the next two days. If those people can't get the tiger talisman, they will definitely take action.
"Cough cough!" Ke Zhenqiu suddenly coughed violently several times, his face flushed red.
"I'm sorry! I can't handle the alcohol, so I want to go back and rest early."
Prince Yuan Ming already felt that it was inconvenient for Ke Zhenqiu to speak here, so how could he not let him go after hearing this?
So he immediately said, "If you feel unwell, Master Ke, you can go back and rest. We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
"Thank you very much!" Ke Zhenqiu stood up and prepared to go back to his room.
Jiang Youzhen winked at Jiang Yan, the guard dressed as a maid behind him. Jiang Yan immediately obeyed the order and quickly followed Ke Zhenqiu out of the hall.
"Sir Jiang, why do you think the Northern Ming Kingdom has been silent for so long? Logically speaking, they have gone to great lengths to attack the border, but now they are so quiet, which is really unusual!" Prince Yuanming asked immediately after Ke Zhenqiu left.
"It's just the calm before the storm! Everything appears calm on the surface, but there must be a lot of activity going on behind the scenes, right?"
Jiang Youzhen felt that these people would not sit there and wait for death. The situation on Duke Qin's side must be extremely dangerous.
"Then we can't just sit there and wait for death! We must think of how to defend ourselves as soon as possible." Prince Yuan Ming said anxiously.
"But we don't have the tiger talisman and the court's permission, so we can't take the initiative to attack. Can't we just be on guard?" Jiang Youzhen sighed.
"Prince, don't worry! The court will definitely send people, and the emperor and the court will definitely respond. Before that, we just need to guard the border first." Qin Yandong put down his wine glass and said.
"But I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the court to send anyone!" Prince Yuan Ming sighed heavily.
There were muffled voices in the uninhabited wing in the northwest corner of the general's mansion.
"Didn't I tell you not to come to me unless it's urgent? Jiang Youzhen is too shrewd, I'm afraid she will find out."
"The situation is urgent, so we have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure! The Khan has said that the Tiger Tally is hopeless, and word has spread that General Dingyuan is dead. Now those small nations and tribes are ready to make a move. The Khan has united with several tribal leaders and is ready to take action."
"So urgent? Ahem!"
"We have to be impatient! Once Duke Qin reaches the border, it will be a large-scale battle, and our chances of winning will be much lower. We must find a way to hold Duke Qin back and start the battle immediately."
"Okay!" The young voice hesitated for a moment, then replied firmly.
"Please ask the young prince and Prince Hadan to take care of the situation inside the pass. When the time comes, we will just need to cooperate with the outside forces according to the plan."
"But the chances of winning are still not very good."
"Don't worry! We've been deploying for so long, and everything is ready."
As if noticing the man's hesitation, the cloaked figure snorted, "What? Little Prince, you still feel sorry for me? If that abominable Central Plains woman hadn't brought you to Dayun Kingdom, how could you have been wandering abroad for so many years? Now that you've finally found your roots, don't you feel a sense of luxury and wealth?"
"My Lord, you should know the choice between being a subordinate and serving as a minor official of the sixth or seventh rank, or becoming the heir to the throne. My Lord, please don't let those of us who follow you feel disappointed!"
The cloaked man was extremely anxious. His words extinguished the last shred of conscience in the man opposite him. Yes! The victors are kings and the losers are bandits. No need to say more!
"Okay! But there's just one thing, don't move Jiang Youzhen! He's still useful to me."
"All right! I hope he can live up to your love for talent."
The next day, Jiang Youzhen was preparing to go to the training grounds at General Dingyuan's residence. Wang Xiao and his men had been practicing martial arts there for the past few days, and even Miss Wang was practicing martial arts, not daring to slack off, just waiting for revenge.
"Sir! Something bad has happened. Prince Yuanming sent a message saying that there is movement at Yuming Pass." Qing Lang hurried in and said.
"What do you mean? Could it be that the Northern Ming Kingdom can no longer hold back and is about to take action?" Jiang Youzhen asked with a perk.
"I don't know! But Prince Yuanming has already consolidated his army, and the entire city is now on lockdown. I guess a war is about to begin."
Jiang Youzhen's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, "Let's go! Take our people and head to the border immediately."
It takes two or three hours to ride from Anxi County to the border. Jiang Youzhen did not dare to delay at all. He mounted his horse, took the necessary things and headed towards Yuming Pass.
"Lord Jiang! Wait!" Just after riding for a while, the sound of two horse hooves came from behind.
She turned around and saw that it was Wang Xiao and Wang Rong, brother and sister.
"Lord Jiang, is a war about to start?" Wang Xiao asked.
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "I'm afraid so!"
"As a military general of the imperial court, it is my duty to guard the border!" Wang Xiao's eyes were firm.
"Although I am not a man, I have been practicing martial arts since I was young. Now that my father has passed away, I am willing to go to the battlefield on his behalf to kill the enemy and take the enemy's heads to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!" Wang Rong was also dressed in a smart and capable outfit, riding on horseback, looking heroic.
Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but think of the child. She hadn't told the Wang family about the child's existence yet.
"Okay! Let's go together!"
Jiang Youzhen turned around and said, "Fight!"
The horses galloped as the group headed towards the border.
After hearing the news, Prince Yuan Ming turned pale at first, and then he packed up and went to the border.
After all, he is the general guarding the border. Now that General Dingyuan is gone, he is the mainstay.
As soon as we arrived at the camp, we were greeted by the soldiers stationed there for guarding.
"Prince! The enemy is invading. The scouts we sent out have returned with reports that the enemy has suddenly made unusual movements and is now stationed twenty miles outside the border."
"How many are there?" Prince Yuan Ming looked solemn.
"Judging from the tents stationed there, there are no less than 300,000 troops."
