OBS Chapter 408 Treasure
Chapter 408 Treasure
Something that I couldn't figure out overnight suddenly became clear to me!
Yesterday morning at the court, General Lu's purpose in submitting a memorial to express his grievances was not at all as simple as he had thought, which was to punish the Ji family and let Lu Xuan escape capture!
Ji Xiangli stayed in the Duke's Mansion for a day and a night.
So many things can happen in one day and one night.
Lu Xuan hadn't been caught in all these days, not even a trace of him. He also understood from what happened in the Sun Palace that day that this person had fully recovered. He must have used the invisibility spell!
Even if they sent people out to deal with a Lu Xuan like this, it would only be a facade.
And the Prince Jin's Mansion was as solid as a rock.
Yingzi and Wubai tried several times but failed to get in.
In this situation, Lu Xuan is safe to put it bluntly.
To ordinary people, Ji Xiangli is indeed a living dead man and is useless.
But the one they want to deal with is Lu Xuan!
Who is Lu Xuan?
The leader of the Shenji Sect!
With her around, Ji Xiangli's body is the best treasure for her to steal all the secrets!
As long as she entered Ji Xiangli's consciousness, what secrets could she not know? She was even more obedient than when she was still alive!
He was impatient and flustered, accompanied by extremely strong resentment.
I had been injured before, and then I suffered a backlash that day. My spirits were a little low, and this time I unexpectedly made such a big mistake. I had never thought of this, let alone a thorough plan!
Their original purpose of complaining to the emperor was to obtain Ji Xiangli's physical body!
If not, they would simply ask the Ministry of Justice to take him into custody and execute him today. They would never bring themselves to execute him personally and bring him to the Duke's Mansion!
Who wouldn't feel bad looking at their enemies? Who wouldn't find the living dead unlucky?
But they took it to the Duke's Mansion!
It was obvious that in this day and night, Lu Xuan had probably learned the secrets between himself and the emperor!
Jiang Yuanfeng put on his coat and breathed through his nose like a bellows, making a wheezing and anxious sound.
He took his badge and hurriedly called Shadow over: "Take my token and go find Wei Jie. Tell him to prepare the 60% of the troops he took over earlier. I'm afraid the world is about to change!"
At this time, Wei Jie was drinking with Shen Tingan on an uninhabited hillside outside the Jingji camp.
"General, it's rare that you came to see me in person today. For so many years, I thought you were unhappy with me and that's why you were deliberately avoiding me!"
Shen Tingan filled his own cup and glanced at him, "Still calling me General?"
He lowered his eyes and sighed: "Now, your official position is higher than mine."
Wei Jie's eyes flashed, and he smiled nonchalantly, "Well, it's just good luck. But in my heart, you will always be my boss!"
After saying that, Wei Jie raised the wine bowl with both hands, tilted his head back, and drank it all down his throat.
Shaking his head, Shen Ting'an said, "Have you ever blamed me over the years?"
"Resentment?" Wei Jie said, "Of course not."
Pointing at Wei Jie's nose, Shen Ting'an sneered, "Don't think I don't know, boy! You must be blaming me, thinking I'm resentful because you became the Right Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army, three ranks higher than me, and that's why I stopped contacting you. Even when I went to court, I looked at you with my nose not nose and my eyes not eyes."
Wei Jie's eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of probing, "General, if you already know everything, why are you still asking me? Or, what is your reason?"
Shen Ting'an glanced at him sideways. "You're kind enough to think of my difficulties. It's worth my care for you back then!"
The two drank another bowl of wine, wiped their mouths loudly, and then Shen Ting'an said, "Back then, I was demoted four levels in a row. My father-in-law, the entire Dingwang Palace, was slaughtered overnight. The princess was lucky to survive. It was clearly a matter of injustice, but when someone with ulterior motives spoke of it, it made me blame myself for my incompetence."
"At this critical moment, I have no choice but to give you all up. Otherwise, if you had stayed so close to me, would you have been able to reach your current position? Would you have been able to have such a close relationship with the Minister of Personnel?"
Wei Jie chuckled, "To be honest, General, I've already guessed what you said."
Shen Ting'an raised his fist and rushed towards him. His face, red all the way to his neck from the alcohol, was cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "You guessed it, but you didn't tell me earlier. Instead, you try to trick me! I had to give you an emotional explanation earlier..."
Wei Jie laughed heartily. "If it weren't for that, General, would I have followed you all the way to this remote village to drink wine today? In my Jingji camp, there's no shortage of fine wine and beautiful women."
Shen Ting'an snorted coldly, looking quite displeased. "You've grown up! You're worthy of being an official several levels above me. You dare to act wildly over me!"
Wei Jie raised an eyebrow and moved closer to him. "But General, you have ignored me for so many years, yet the southeast wind has brought you here today. Tell me, what do you want to ask of me?"
Shen Ting'an glanced at him and snorted disdainfully. But then, his face flushed, and he smacked his lips a few times, saying in a whisper, "It's actually a small matter. The army you took 60% of its military power from the General of Conquest..."
……
Jiang Yuanfeng went to the Meridian Gate alone.
When he arrived, General Lu had already stabbed Ji Xiangli into a hole with a few sword strokes.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the dense crowd below the execution ground, feeling it was extremely noisy.
Wasn't the execution scheduled for noon? Why was he killed so early in the morning?
What are their plans?
Before he could figure out what was going on, a familiar figure in the corner of the crowd caught his attention.
Ji Bozhou was wearing a smoky-black outfit today. Apart from the circular jacquard pattern, there was no other decoration. His low-key style was very different from his usual style.
He stood in the corner in front of the team, watching Lu Xuan stabbing Ji Xiangli to death with his sword, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, and his eyes seemed to be dripping with blood.
Jiang Yuanfeng stood behind and saw the figure's shoulders move. The sad muscles seemed to be slightly tense due to hatred and anger.
A smile curved the corners of his lips.
It seems that as usual, someone will have to fight for him in this matter of the Duke's Mansion.
People from the Ministry of Justice came and dragged Ji Xiangli's body away. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lu Xuan propped himself up and greeted everyone.
However, what no one expected was that Lu Xuan's face did not have the smile of satisfaction after revenge, but instead had a bit of sadness on it.
The onlookers in the crowd then remembered.
"General Lu only killed Ji Xiangli, but two lives were lost in the Duke's Mansion! He himself escaped by sheer luck!"
"Yes, even though today's incident has caused a lot of uproar, the general still feels aggrieved."
"That's right. I have no place to complain about these grievances. From a healthy young man to now, when he returned to Beijing with half-white hair, how can the life of a living dead person from the Ji family be able to make up for it?"
"Oh, please don't say that. Looking at the general's expression, he must be feeling very upset..."
General Lu, who was feeling very uncomfortable, actually had no intention of feeling uncomfortable at the moment.
He could only pretend to be hurt and sad so as to find an excuse to get into his own carriage.
Once he got into the carriage and left the noisy crowd, he could take the military order and leave the capital to help the prince gather the 200,000 soldiers he had brought back from Longchuan...
Jiang Yuanfeng looked at Lu Xuan, who was so sad that he seemed to be running away, and then glanced at the back of Ji Bozhou who was holding the person in front of him.
The curvature of the mouth corners cannot be stopped.
There was another good show to watch.
Lu Xuan has been away for fifteen years, but he is still so impulsive when he comes back.
Of course he believed it when he was told that he led troops to fight.
But he is old now, is he really still the young general he used to be?
He dispersed with the crowd, intending to go to the palace to discuss with the emperor the incident of Ji Xiangli being taken to the Duke's Mansion last night, so that he could make plans secretly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shadow eagerly pushed through the crowd and quickly squeezed towards him: "Sir, this is not good!"
