Ji Wu Jiu got a soldier that speaks Mongolian to act as a translator to interrogate the solider that they managed to capture. The captured soldier was quite determined to remain quiet and even stopped eating.
“Even if you don’t tell me, I know where you are from”
The soldier had no reaction still.
“You are from the Wu Lan tribe. The head of the Mongolian Wu Lan tribe, is Bo RI Tie Chi Na also known as the Cockroach from the Desert”
The soldier started to react, and he subconsciously shivered.
“Originally I thought when he surrendered to the Nu Zhen tribe, he was reluctant, but seems like he is very willing to join them now”
The soldier looked at JI Wu Jiu, and asked if he tells him, will he let him live
“It’s too late”, Ji Wu Jiu replied, with a calm face, “What you know, I also know now”
He left the room, and went to look for Xu Xi Ming and Ye Zhen Zhen.
Xu Xi Ming was standing in front of a map, discussing something with Ye Zhen Zhen in a low voice. Seeing Ji Wu Jiu walked in, he immediately kneeled down “Greetings to your majesty!”
Ji Wu Jiu immediately pulled him up, ‘General Xu, there is no need for such formalities”
Ye Zhen Zhen asks “Did you get anything from him?”
Ji Wu Jiu walked towards the map and answered “The group of soldiers we met were sent to gather information, and seems like the Mongols are planning to be involved this time”
Wu Lan Tribe is a Northern Mongolian tribe, few years ago they were seized by the Nu Zhen tribe, Bo Ri Tie Chi Na leaded his groups to surrender to the Nu Zhen tribe. This time, Ji Wu Jiu thought that Bo Ri Tie Chi Na was unhappy with Nu Zhen tribe so that was why there were no news regarding them earlier on, but it looks like the case isn’t so.
Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly understood “This person most probably has teamed up with Nu Zhen, when the war starts, he will bring a group of army to attack Ji Zhou, when that time comes even if he were to bring armies here, Liao Dong’s side will suffer, but if we don’t help Ji Zhou, the Capital will be placed in a very dangerous situation, is what I said correct?” She looked at Ji Wu Jiu with a face waiting for praising.
JI Wu Jiu flicked her forehead “Such a good student”
“Then should we play the entrapment game” She suggested
Ji Wu Jiu shook her head “Nope, we do not have the extra power to attack and defense at the same time. Ji Zhou is a fortress; they will only need to pay attention to defending. “
Xu Xi Ming said “Your Majesty, do not worry, as long as I am here, not even a Mongolian fly can come into this city!”
“If so, then I will have to ask General Xu to take care of Ji Zhou”
Xu Xi Ming kneeled on the floor again “I accept!”
After pulling him up, Ji Wu Jiu added “I have already commanded to transfer thirty thousand soldiers from Shan Dong to help Ji Zhou. Bo Ri Tie Chi Na’s army although is strong, but they are to help Nu Zhen, and not really clever, the moment we make Nu Zhen retreat, they will retreat as well. It is just that, General Xu have the responsibility of guarding this city, I am just afraid that some ill hearted people will harm you”
“Why would I be afraid of them!”
“General Xu, you are not afraid, but I am worried. How about this, I will leave 6 elite guards with you, you will not leave their sight, and to make sure you are well protected”
Xu Xi Ming was so touched that his eyes begins to turn red, and wanted to reject this offer, but Ye Zhen Zhen added “General Xu, your life now does not belong to you only, but to the whole nation, so there is no need for you to push it away”
Hearing her saying so, Xu Xi Ming kneeled again and thanks the emperor.
Going out from the army camp, Ye Zhen Zhen took the initiative to hold Ji Wu Jiu’s hand “I think that you are getting even more capable”.
JI Wu Jiu returned her hold and asked “If compared with your cousin brother?”
“Although your martial arts skill is not as skillful as him, but you are more intelligent” Ye Zhen Zhen gave a very honest critic.
“if so, do you like it?”
Ye Zhen Zhen nodded
Looking at her expression, JI Wu Jiu knew that she did not understand his question truly. He also did not explain further and gently played with her palm, smiling like a perv, “If so, give me a kiss, will that be alright?”
There were many people on the streets, although Ye Zhen Zhen is thick skinned, but it was not till this level “We will talk about it when we go back”
