Chapter 368 Return to life
However, instead of opening the city gate, Captain Ding gave orders for the archers to prepare and point their arrows at them.
Seeing this, Wu Fei and the other three took a few steps back.
Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, they shouted towards the tower:
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"..."
The situation fell into a brief stalemate.
"Someone come, come quickly, the young general is planning to rebel!" All the guards were frightened at the urgent words of Captain Ding.
Someone has already informed His Majesty.
However, at this moment, Chen Yuan arrived.
When he heard the words 'the young general is going to rebel', he didn't believe it at all.
He had a simple mind and only knew that the generals hated the foreign enemies to the core.
When he got to the top of the city wall, he was extremely excited when he saw Jiang Yue and four other men bringing back Tuoman's head.
At this time, he became increasingly skeptical of the young general's remarks about rebellion.
Especially when he saw Jiang Yue and the other four being blocked outside and someone chasing them, he was extremely angry.
He ran down the city wall and immediately gave orders to the soldiers guarding the city.
"Open the city gate!"
Captain Ding ran down after him.
"The city gate cannot be opened. General Chen, you are usually close to the young general. Who knows if you two are in the same group?"
He looked like, General Chen, you're finished.
After all, Chen Yuan made a serious mistake last night, and His Majesty will definitely dismiss him from his post and investigate him.
Seeing the two guards about to open the city gate, he reminded them:
"The young general is rebelling, can't you hear me?"
He really was thinking about the safety of the capital when he said this, because those people from the Great Jin Dynasty really came.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer, he raised his voice:
"Who knows how many more people are behind those pursuers."
After saying that, he used his own body to block the city gate.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt his neck tighten, and he was actually being strangled by Chen Yuan.
Captain Ding was strangled and suddenly couldn't breathe.
He just didn't believe it. Could Chen Yuan really strangle him to death?
As he was thinking this, he was hit on the head by Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan threw a punch like thunder, knocking the ignorant Captain Ding unconscious.
When the guards around saw this scene, they felt a chill on their backs.
Then, they saw General Chen opening the city gate himself.
The guards did not dare to stop them.
Jiang Yue and others were already prepared to fight with these 500 soldiers, and the city gate opened.
The city gate slowly opened, and the pursuers behind him, who had just rushed into Dong Lin's shooting range, stopped instantly.
"Enter the city!" Jiang Yue gave an order, and the faces of the four people behind him all relaxed. The five people were finally able to enter the city smoothly.
As soon as she entered the city, Jiang Yue met Chen Yuan who was waiting for her and said hurriedly:
"General Chen, thank you very much. There are only a few hundred pursuers behind us. Kill them!"
"It's not you who should thank me, but I who should thank you." Now that Chen Yuan saw Na Tuoman's head, his extremely uneasy heart finally settled down.
Then, he led more than a thousand guards on the city wall and rushed out of the city first.
When the people of Dajin saw this scene, they turned around and ran away.
But, in just a moment, the sound of chopping and killing...
...the imperial palace.
When Zhao Chongxiu heard the eunuch report that Jiang Yue had returned to the city and was now outside the palace, he did not hesitate and hurriedly announced a summons.
Jiang Yue and four others entered the hall and knelt on one knee to pay homage to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of not being able to attend the court this morning."
As the five people entered the hall, all the court officials' eyes fell on them.
Mu Yun was embarrassed, Wen Liang was ecstatic, Zeng Guangren was surprised... the others all had different expressions.
The five people looked... a little embarrassed at the moment.
Especially the four people behind him. It was the first time for Lin Guo and Mu Heng to enter the hall. The situation was different now, so they did not seem nervous.
They were covered in blood, which made all the court officials feel for the first time the majesty and slaughter from the border soldiers even though they were in the court.
When Mu Yun saw Mu Heng, he felt that he looked familiar and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, Mu Heng only treated Wu Fei and the other two with respect and did not even glance at Mu Yun.
Zhao Chongxiu: "Stand up and talk."
"Have the spies been captured?"
Jiang Yue and the others stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the spies are outside the palace."
"Bring him in!" After entering, Zhao Chongxiu's gaze fell on the back of Jiang Yue, the bound and unconscious Jin general, and Tuoman's head. His tense brows finally relaxed.
See, Jiang Yue did not betray.
Wen Liang was naturally also very excited. His official position was temporarily saved.
Only Mu Yun and the courtier who had just agreed with him looked embarrassed.
With Tuoman's head here, who dares to say that she is unfaithful?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the court became relaxed due to Jiang Yue's entry.
Zhao Chongxiu's gaze fell on Nadoman's head again, his eyes full of admiration.
Fortunately, no one escaped.
"What happened last night? Report!"
"Yes." Jiang Yue sorted out her thoughts.
"Last night, after I learned that the Great Jin spies had escaped from the capital, I immediately went out to chase them... We followed them all the way and finally found the Great Jin people in a temple."
"Afterwards, I captured their general and returned to the court to report. Because of this, I was chased by them all the way."
She did not mention a word about the assassination attempt she had encountered last night, but she just suspected the people in the court.
This matter concerns her safety, and she must get to the bottom of it.
Zhao Chongxiu listened carefully and asked:
"How many of them are there?"
Jiang Yue really had no chance to find out the number of people in Dajin.
"I have not been able to find out. Now that they have been exposed, I believe they are trying to move their positions. But now, what they want to do more is..."
Jiang Yue glanced behind him and said, "It's the general who rescued them."
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu had to take it seriously.
Hearing about a village, how many people could a mountain village hold? He estimated in his head that it would not be too many.
"Jiang Yue, tomorrow morning, lead 5,000 soldiers and destroy them!"
At the same time, he did not forget to instruct Wen Liang,
"Find out how many of them there are, how and where they got in. Those who neglect their duties will be severely punished!"
"Yes." Every time Wen Liang receives a task now, it is extremely difficult.
Today's morning court finally ended with Jiang Yue's entry into the palace.
...After receiving the appointment, Jiang Yue first left the palace and returned to his general's mansion.
The Xuanwu Army gathered in the courtyard of the general's mansion. After waiting for a long time, they finally waited for Jiang Yue and others.
The most anxious person is Jiang Wu Ni.
When she saw Jiang Yue for the first time, she looked her up and down. After making sure that she was not injured, she stepped forward and asked:
"He didn't come back last night. Did you catch that spy from the Jin Dynasty?"
"I caught him." Jiang Yue replied simply. Seeing that the other soldiers were also anxious and wanted to ask her about the whole process of the arrest, she directly handed the question to Wu Fei and the other four who were following closely behind her.
However, Wu Fei and the other three were overworked, and were sleepy and hungry, so they went straight to the kitchen to have their meal.
On the way back to the main courtyard, Jiang Yue asked the fifth sister: "Is lunch ready?"
She is so hungry.
"It's ready a long time ago. From breakfast to lunch, the food is heated up again and again." Jiang Wuni said this and immediately instructed Mei Shuang and the other four maids who also ran forward,
"Go and tell the cook that the general is back."
At the lunch table, Jiang Wuni and Jiang Yue ate across from each other.
Jiang Yue's feeling of having a new mother came back again.
"Sister, regarding the grain store, how is the business going?"
"With the title of general, no one dares to cause trouble." Jiang Wuni's wish to be busy making money in the capital has come true.
Although, it is in the name of His Majesty.
Jiang Yue: "Now that we have time, we can train more of our own people."
Jiang Wuni: "Sister Feng and Sister Yu have learned how to do business from me."
Knowing that Jiang Yue had not slept all night, Jiang Wu Ni did not disturb her too much. She accompanied Jiang Yue to finish her meal and let her have a good rest.
Jiang Yue was also really sleepy.
Lying on the bed, she began to analyze the enemy situation of the Great Jin.
She was wondering how many troops the Jin Dynasty had.
As she was thinking, she gradually fell asleep.
I slept for a whole afternoon and when I woke up, it was already evening.
Late in the night, she went to the Ministry of Justice prison again.
Zhao Chongxu saw Jiang Yue again and couldn't help but laugh.
"Why is the young general here again?"
As he spoke, he glanced at General Wu Yan who was tied to the rack.
I guess it’s because of him.
Jiang Yue thought to herself, the Fourth Prince must be quite accustomed to living in this dark dungeon.
"Is there anything you need, Your Highness? I may be able to help you next time I come."
