Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

So sometimes people still have to trust their intuition. At least... He Ning's intuition was right at this time.

It was indeed Jiang Li who killed Qin Ze.

But so what? He had no evidence, so how could Jiang Li confess with just a few empty words?

She said calmly: "I just asked General Yang to bring people to protect me in advance because I didn't trust you."

"It's just a coincidence that we arrived today."

"But luckily General Yang is here, otherwise I would have been wronged by them."

Yang Jin looked at He Ning with a straight face, "Whoever dares to wrongly accuse the princess must first pass the test of our Flame Army!"

He Ning was furious, but the problem was... He really didn't dare to be tough with the other party now.

The strength of his troops has been reduced enough, and he really has no evidence. He has no courage to start a war on his own initiative.

So in the end, He Ning had no choice but to leave angrily. Before leaving, he said harshly, "When I find out the truth, I won't let you go!"

When they walked away, Yang Jin turned his head and looked at Jiang Li, "Do you want to kill him?"

Jiang Li waved his hand, "It's too obvious to do it now. Let's look for opportunities later."

Things were almost over here, and Qin Ze died suddenly here, so it became urgent to return to Beijing.

Jiang Li said that as a princess, now that King Jing'an is dead, she should naturally take on the responsibility of transporting her brother's body back to Beijing and escorting the felon Qin Jue.

It's just that not long after the war ended, the soldiers were not in good condition and there were many injuries, so it was not appropriate to rush on the road at this time.

The Flame Army happened to have arrived, so why not let the Flame Army escort them back to Beijing.

However, as soon as this was said, He Ning was naturally the first to disagree, "I don't agree! Since we escorted the prince here, we should naturally escort him back!"

"What's more...who knows what evil intentions you are hiding?"

Jiang Li glanced at him and said, "I have already sent the memorial to the capital. It's too late for you to object now. Just wait for the emperor's reply."

After saying this, He Ning was really speechless and had to wait for Jingzhong's reply.

But according to what he thought, the emperor would not agree to the Lieyan Army returning to Beijing.

Thirty thousand troops, who knows if they may have evil intentions?

However, what is surprising is that the emperor actually agreed!

Originally, the troops led by Qin Ze were temporarily mobilized from the north, and they had to return as soon as possible after they were used up to prevent the nomadic people in the north from having any evil intentions while the guards were empty.

Jiang Li mentioned in her letter the situation of casualties and that it was not advisable to travel for too long, so she proposed to use the Flame Army to temporarily replace them, while these soldiers would stay in Ningcheng to garrison temporarily.

As for what happens next, let's wait and see how the emperor feels after things have calmed down.

Therefore, in Emperor Qing's view, the Lieyan Army was just going back to the north to garrison, and was just giving Jiang Li a ride.

They did have to pass through the capital in the past, but they wouldn't be too far away.

In addition, there were 30,000 troops stationed outside the capital, so Emperor Qing didn't think too much.

Of course, the most important thing is that he never thought that Jiang Li would have such ambitions. He only thought that everything would be fine if Qin Jue was solved.

In addition, there are people from Jiang Li who are fanning the flames. Why worry about Emperor Qing not being blinded by lard?

So at this time, Emperor Qing's decree came down. No matter how dissatisfied He Ning was, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he had to retreat and ask for a team of people to follow him.

Jiang Li felt...this man was really uncomfortable without death, so let him do whatever he wanted.

The night before leaving for Beijing, Jiang Li went to see Qin Jue.

He has recovered a lot from his injuries now, but according to Lan Yin, he has never spoken.

There is no other reason for not cooperating. He takes medicine when he should, eat when he should, but just doesn't talk.

Jiang Li looked at him now. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

It looks a bit similar to how he was in the cold palace.

His hands and feet were chained, and he was lying quietly on the bed. When Jiang Li came in, he didn't react at all.

Until Jiang Li came closer and said, "Are you feeling better?"

It seemed that Qin Jue recognized her voice and slowly turned his head to look at her.

There were indescribable complex emotions in that look, and it took him a long time to speak. Probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse, but at least he answered.

"Well, he shouldn't die for the time being."

Jiang Li nodded, "I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. The road may be bumpy. If you feel any discomfort, remember to tell Lan Yin."

Qin Jue was silent for a while before speaking again, "Aren't you going to kill me?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I said, if you die, I will die too, so it's not possible for now."

He twitched the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you afraid that one day, like you, I will have another chance to turn over?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "We are different."

"You will still have scruples, pity, and even extravagant hopes for me."

"But I don't care about you. I just want you to live, no matter happiness or pain."

Qin Jue looked at her deeply and suddenly laughed, the louder and louder he laughed, until he burst into tears.

"...You are right, we are indeed different."

"My heart is not as cruel as yours after all."

Jiang Li looked at him, "Now that the position is reversed, I also want to ask what you asked me."

"Qin Jue, do you hate me?"

Qin Jue didn't speak for a long time, and finally closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to look at her anymore, and just said tiredly, "Let's go."

"Don't worry, I won't run away or seek death."

"Whatever you want to do, just do it."

"At least one of the two of us is happy and can be considered complete."

In the end, Qin Jue still didn't answer Jiang Li's question.

Jiang Li watched him close his eyes and his face became thin.

After a long while, he smiled softly, got up and left.

There was a large group of people, and the journey back to Beijing was inevitably long.

On the way, He Ning was rude to Jiang Li again, so Jiang Li killed him neatly.

Well, this time we are in our own team, can we still let him bully us?

The others were frightened half to death by killing people at the slightest disagreement. They finally understood the situation and did not dare to be reckless with Jiang Li anymore.

Looking at the obedient person, Jiang Li twitched his lips, "Isn't that right? I wouldn't have taken action if it had been like this, right?"

"When someone asks about Vice General He back in the capital, do you know what to say?"

The group of people immediately understood, "Vice General He was extremely sad because of the prince's death. He suddenly fell ill on the way back to Beijing and buried him on the spot!"

Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

Of course, when these people respond like this, I don’t know what they are thinking in their hearts.

But Jiang Li didn't care what they thought, because when she returned to Beijing this time, she would have the final say in the world from now on.
