Chapter 189 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
Chu Jiang, who was ashamed and had suffered a lot for the sake of hurrying on the journey, drank a large bowl of coptis water and then lay in the tent for three days before he recovered.
As soon as he got better, he put on his heavy and solid armor solemnly, held his most proud spear and walked to the outside of Ji Junze's tent to ask for a meeting.
What is Li Guo!
What is Gongzi Hai!
If anyone dares to challenge the king, he will definitely teach him a lesson personally.
Chu Jiang had a resolute expression.
Then he thought of his good-for-nothing cousin, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.
Chu Jiang stood outside and waited for a while before he was allowed to enter the tent.
The king's tent was very spacious, but when Chu Jiang walked in, he noticed Shi Li standing next to Ji Junze at first sight.
The scene he had seen that day immediately emerged in Chu Jiang’s mind, and he felt a little dazed for a moment.
Shi Li looked at Chu Jiang's strange expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking about. Just as she was about to take a step back to avoid suspicion, Ji Junze grabbed her hand without any preparation.
Ji Junze held her hand tightly in front of Chu Jiang.
Shi Li: ...
Forget it, just be happy.
Anyway, she just wants to be a carefree salted fish.
Chu Jiang deeply felt that his experience in the past two days was richer than that in the previous nearly twenty years.
He took a deep breath, pretending not to see the little movements of Ji Junze and Shi Li, and knelt in front of Ji Junze with a serious face and volunteered.
"I am willing to meet that ignorant young master Hai!"
Although Chu Jiang's character is a bit simple, he is indeed a rare and good general on the battlefield.
Ji Junze thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After taking over Su and Xiao, Feng's power has far surpassed the past.
A group of dragons cannot be without a leader, and a country cannot be without a king for a day.
With Chu Jiang leading the way to capture cities and territories for him, he can also go back to sit in the royal city.
Afterwards, Ji Junze instructed Chu Jiang on all matters concerning the continuation of the war, and he returned with a group of his trusted followers.
On the way back, Ji Junze and Shi Li rode in the same carriage.
Before, Shi Li had been with the army, living in the open air and had become thin and haggard.
Although Ji Junze didn't say anything, he saw it all.
It's better to ride in a carriage than to be jolted on horseback.
On the way back, a small incident happened.
Shi Li has tried her best to keep a low profile and almost never shows up in public, but after all, there are many people around, and as long as people around pay a little attention, they can still sense that Ji Junze's trust in her is extraordinary.
Some people with ulterior motives specifically went to Zifeng to sow discord.
"He fawned on the king and now the king only trusts him, but has alienated you who has been following him for a longer time. This is really wrong!"
Zifeng listened to these words, pretended to be serious and perfunctory, then turned around and immediately reported them to Ji Junze intactly.
"My loyalty to the king and the nobles is evident to all! The king and the nobles must trust me! Do not listen to those villains' attempts to sow discord!"
After filing the complaint, Zifeng did not forget to express his loyalty.
Ji Junze glanced at him indifferently without saying a word.
On the second day, those people who instigated discord were arrested.
The people who were caught widened their eyes in disbelief and looked at Zifeng in condemnation, as if accusing him of ingratitude.
Zifeng, however, had no psychological burden at all, with his hands leisurely behind his back, and was almost whistling to watch the fun.
Seeing such a strong mental quality, Shi Li, who was watching from the side, could only feel inferior.
The carriage was approaching the royal city, and it was evening.
Ji Junze ordered everyone to stop and rest at the post station before heading into the city early tomorrow morning.
Others did not suspect anything and were deeply touched by the king's thoughtfulness.
Shi Li felt a little uneasy, and after everyone else left, she couldn't help but move closer to Ji Junze.
"Did something happen in the palace?"
Otherwise, given Ji Junze's personality, it would be impossible for the king to stay outside the city.
"It's okay. Some people just can't suppress their foolish ambitions." Ji Junzegong was as steady as a rock and handed a letter to Shi Li.
The letter was sent from a trusted spy who he left in the palace before going to war.
The content was not long, and Ji Junze understood it at a glance.
While he was away, some foolish people started to make moves.
Since they have done it, they have to bear the consequences themselves. Ji Junze will not give them the chance to regret it.
Glancing at the girl sitting next to him who was reading the letter attentively, Ji Junze raised one hand and stroked her head skillfully.
The black and soft hair felt cool and smooth to the touch. For some reason, Ji Junze suddenly remembered a dream he had once had and could not help but look at Shi Li's head a few more times.
It would be nice if two furry cat ears really grew there.
For some reason, he was actually looking forward to it.
