Chapter 174: Sores
Chapter 174: Sores
"General Ji, we really don't know that general."
The captain replied, but the deputy commander of the Shenji Camp changed his expression instantly.
He was only thinking about how to get rid of Ji Yechen and take the position of the commander of the Shenji Camp. He had no time to care about the generals in Beidong.
And this is his biggest flaw.
Ji Wuqi did not look at the captain, but looked at the deputy general of the Shenji Camp with sharp eyes.
"As the deputy commander of the Divine Machine Battalion, you're about to go into battle and kill the enemy without even knowing the enemy's generals beforehand?"
"I remember showing you the portraits, personal preferences, and fighting styles of the various generals of the Northern Winter Alliance."
In the middle of winter, the deputy general of the Shenji Camp had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"General Ji, I have seen it, but I didn't remember it all due to time constraints. I will look at the portrait later and I will be able to identify who did it."
Ji Yechen, lying behind the curtain, felt a chill in his heart. He actually promoted such a person to be the deputy general.
The Northern Winter Alliance has an army of over one hundred thousand soldiers, with many generals of all ranks.
But there are only a few main generals, and those who can lead an army of 50,000 must be generals with some strength.
He didn't even remember the other party's information. He couldn't imagine how big a disaster it would be if he died and the Shenji Camp was handed over to such a person.
Ji Yechen thought so, and Ji Wuqi said it for him.
"To be able to lead an army of 50,000, you must be one of the important generals. You don't even remember this. How did you get the position of deputy general?"
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate..."
At this moment, there was no trace of grief on the face of the deputy general of the Shenji Camp, only panic.
If this goes on, even if Ji Yechen dies, he probably won't be able to get the position of the commander of the Shenji Camp.
"I was so grief-stricken by General Ji's death that my mind went blank and I didn't see the man's face clearly."
Leng Qingyi really couldn't bear to see them acting here.
It wasn't really a challenge, it was just a routine inquiry.
"Then who can lead 50,000 soldiers out of the camp?"
"This this……"
His biggest mission in coming to the Northern Territory this time is to get rid of Ji Yechen and replace him himself.
He just glanced at the information Ji Wuqi gave him, but he couldn't remember which important generals were there.
"This... the generals who can lead 50,000 soldiers to fight may be the Hulun brothers, the second prince and third princess of Beidong."
"It can't be them. They died long before you arrived in the North."
Ji Wuqi has lived for so many years and served as a border guard for several years, so naturally his brain is very useful.
At this time, he also noticed something was wrong.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, watching every move of the two people.
The more they looked, the more something seemed wrong. They were both too nervous.
If you look closely, this is not a big mistake, but just a dereliction of duty. The two of them are not so panicked as to break out in cold sweats in the winter.
There must be something fishy going on.
Just as he was about to ask again, Leng Qingyi interrupted his thoughts.
"Leng Qi, call all the members of the team that Ji Yechen led today."
"Yes, Master."
The people present only heard his voice but did not see him.
After a quarter of an hour of stalemate, that cold voice sounded again.
"Master, they are all outside the tent."
"Bring someone in."
"Yes, Master."
A few moments later, Leng Qi entered the tent with a somewhat nervous soldier.
"You, tell me in detail how Ji Yechen was murdered today."
When the deputy general of the Shenji Camp saw that the soldier was unfamiliar, he was about to speak but was scared away by Leng Qingyi's extremely cold look.
He took two steps back obediently, feeling deeply uneasy.
The soldier glanced at the deputy commander of the Shenji Camp and the captain, and stammered as he finished telling the story.
After finishing his speech, Leng Qingyi did not ask any questions and asked Leng Qi to take him out and replace him with someone else.
Leng Qi did as he was told, and at this time Ji Wuqi also realized that something was wrong.
There was another hidden story behind his nephew's death, and his eyes shot out like knives at the two people standing aside with their legs weak.
But he didn't say anything. After getting to know him over the past few days, he knew that the emperor had his own rules for doing things.
Listening quietly to one person after another telling the story of their nephew's death.
The deputy commander of the Shenji Camp had already explained how Ji Yechen died when he met up with Leng Ba.
These two hundred people followed suit and told how Ji Yechen died.
At first, Ji Wuqi's heart ached.
But after hearing about a dozen deaths with roughly the same details but completely different ways of dying, people have become numb.
He was very suspicious about how his nephew died.
And seeing the emperor's calm appearance, he had a bold and expectant guess in his heart.
Two hundred people came in to explain the details of Ji Yechen's death.
Some spoke faster, some spoke slower, but they all said it again after two hours.
Ji Wuqi's expression was extremely gloomy. At this moment, there was nothing he didn't understand.
There is an 80% chance that his nephew was killed by this deputy general, and these people were most likely coerced and bribed by this deputy general to help him cover up the truth.
Ji Yechen's heart behind the curtain had completely turned cold, and his whole body was as cold as if he had been soaked in a cold pond.
No matter how hard he tried, he could never have imagined that none of these two hundred people would be willing to tell the truth and avenge him.
They actually fabricated the cause of his death based on the lie told by the deputy general.
So he was betrayed again.
The chill in the heart, the chill to the bone, made a high-spirited young man feel for the first time the horror of human nature.
Many of those people had a very good relationship with him and were promoted by him, but now they have betrayed him time and time again.
He didn't understand, wasn't he good enough for them?
He treated them all as his own family and did his best to help them whenever they encountered any difficulties.
When his family members were sick, he helped find doctors, and when his children went to school, he sent them to the private school he ran at home to study with the other children of the Ji family.
When getting married, he helps with the betrothal gifts and even goes to pick up the bride in person to help them have a good time.
Now this is what I get.
After the last person finished speaking, Leng Qing glanced behind the curtain intentionally or unintentionally.
Then she asked Ji Wuqi and the two people from the Shenji Camp to go out with her.
After everyone gathered, Leng Qing gave an order and more than 200 people were captured.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Although we are responsible for the general's death, it is not what we wanted."
"Your Majesty, General Ji, you can't take your anger out on us like this."
There was a lot of noise here, and the other soldiers of the Shenji Camp rushed over when they heard the news.
"Your Majesty, people will die on the battlefield. We don't want the general to die."
"If we want to blame someone, we can only blame him for not being as skilled as others. How can we blame him?"
Ji Yechen, who was supported by Leng Qi, felt that his already broken heart was stabbed several more times.
Just as the other Shenjiying soldiers were about to speak for these more than 200 comrades, the curtain of the emperor's tent was lifted.
