Chapter 736: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 12
*
In a secluded courtyard somewhere outside Linyang City, some of the soldiers who followed this trip were all wearing casual clothes. Some of them were taking breaks in the forest, while others were organizing their horses and weapons.
When Bai Zhu entered the main house for the third time, he saw Ji Siyan still sitting upright by the window, staring down at the inconspicuous jade token in his hand. His cold eyes seemed to have become a little softer.
"Major General, you've been staring at the jade token for almost the entire afternoon..."
Bai Zhu couldn't help but curl his lips and said, Ji Siyan, who was sitting upright, slowly raised his head and looked at him. His expression did not change, he just gently rubbed the jade token twice with his fingertips.
"Are you all ready?"
"I have already ordered people to prepare in the forest. We will catch them all in one fell swoop when the people from the Salt Transport Bureau come to trade at night."
Bai Zhu bowed respectfully, Ji Siyan nodded solemnly, then looked down at the jade token that Yun Wu gave him.
He had been away from the capital for about six days. This was a very normal thing in the past. He was used to traveling around for military affairs.
But now Ji Siyan found that he began to miss Yun Wu in his heart. Although it had only been six or seven days, he already wanted to see her more urgently.
He seemed to like her...particularly.
Thinking of this, Ji Siyan's breathing stagnated, and the next moment Bai Zhu's words interrupted his thoughts.
"It's just that... His Majesty favors Duke Qi, and he has a relationship with Queen Qi. Moreover, the young general has not yet sought His Majesty's consent. I'm afraid he will be punished after the deed is accomplished..."
Bai Zhu said this somewhat implicitly. In fact, it was too risky to act on one's own to arrest an official appointed by the imperial court. At the most serious level, one could lose his head.
"As long as the military pay issue is not investigated, they will be greedy. For the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border, I will do it no matter what the risk is."
Ji Siyan said with a frown, his tone firm and unquestionable, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.
Bai Zhu's gaze shifted to the jade token in Ji Siyan's hand, and he touched his head and said:
"Major General, please forgive me for being blunt. You gave your personal jade pendant to my cousin, but the jade pendant my cousin gave you was too perfunctory..."
"You do not understand."
Ji Siyan said lightly, holding the ordinary jade token in his palm like a treasure, and there seemed to be a hint of smile on his handsome face, which was usually serious.
"This is something Awu prayed for me specifically, so it's extraordinary. How can it be perfunctory?"
"But I think that Miss Cousin is using these little tricks to get close to the Major General because she wants your power and wealth."
"……you're right."
Ji Siyan was silent for a moment and then spoke firmly. Bai Shu's eyes lit up and he felt touched. He thought that the young general had finally listened to him and realized that Yun Wu had approached him intentionally.
The next moment, Ji Siyan's dark eyes showed a look of certainty, and he said seriously:
"She wants my power and wealth only because she loves me. Otherwise, why wouldn't she want someone else?"
Bai Shu: "..."
Bai Zhu was speechless and had to shut his mouth. Tsk... The young general was beyond saving and there was no way he could persuade him.

Previously, at the birthday banquet at the Duke's Mansion, Yun Wu took a liking to Duan Qi, the young master of the Dali Temple.
Ji Yao told me that this young master Duan was well-known in the capital for his gentleness, good family background and handsome appearance. At a glance, he seemed to meet Yun Wu's requirements.
Coincidentally, this Mr. Duan and Ji Chi happened to be classmates in the academy and they had a pretty good relationship.
As soon as Ji Siyan left the capital, Duan Qi came to the prime minister's residence to visit Ji Chi, and the two studied together in the pavilion in the backyard of the prime minister's residence.
After Liuyue told Yunwu about this that day, Yunwu passed by the pavilion where they were intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, Duan Qi blushed when he saw her.
After that, he would come to visit Ji Chi every two or three days, and from time to time he would take a bite of the pastries that Yun Wu made for Ji Chi and Ji Yao.
After a few brief interactions, Yun Wu had a pretty good understanding of Duan Qi.
Today was Duan Qi's fifth visit to the Prime Minister's Residence. After studying calligraphy with Ji Chi, he was about to leave. Yun Wu walked him to the front yard.
The two of them maintained a proper distance along the way. Duan Qi took the initiative to find topics to chat about, and the atmosphere of being alone together did not feel awkward.
The distance from the backyard to the front yard corridor was not long, and Yun Wu soon stopped.
"The roads are slippery in the rain, Mr. Duan, please be careful on your way back."
Yun Wu's voice was soft and pleasant. She was wearing a newly cut light blue summer dress. The thin fabric made her figure look even more slender and graceful.
"Thank you very much, Miss Yun."
Duan Qi bowed and said, he was a scholar, his manners were all elegant and gentle, through these days of getting along, he had a better impression of this cousin from the prime minister's mansion.
In addition, Ji Chi once mentioned that Yun Wu should also be discussed for marriage, which made his thoughts even deeper.
Duan Qi, who was supposed to leave, did not leave in a hurry. With a slightly red face, he asked Yun Wu about her preferences a little embarrassedly.
Not far away, Ji Siyan, who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Residence after leaving the capital for half a month, was standing in the corridor and watching this scene from afar.
He arrested the official of the Salt Transport Bureau in Linyang City who was convicted of embezzling military funds and brought him back to the capital. The news reached the prime minister's residence late and few people knew about it.
Ji Siyan stared at the two people who were talking happily over there with a resentful look. As he was far away, he couldn't hear what the man said to Yun Wu.
"That person seems to be Duan Qi, the son of the Dali Temple official..."
Bai Zhu on the side said, Ji Siyan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Well, it must be that Duan who approached Awu intentionally...
After asking Yun Wu a few more questions about her preferences, Duan Qi bowed and said goodbye to Yun Wu, then hurried towards the main entrance of the front yard.
Yun Wu stood there and watched Duan Qi's figure disappear at the end of the corridor before she withdrew her gaze, with a cunning light in her bright eyes.
This Mr. Duan was the favored youngest son in the family, and his mother died early. If she married him, she would not have to deal with her mother-in-law.
And based on her observations over the past few days, Duan Qi is indeed a soft persimmon that is easy to control.
Yun Wu was thinking about this as she prepared to leave, but when she turned around she accidentally bumped into a hard chest.
"what……"
Yun Wu let out a light cry and took a step back. She looked up in confusion and saw Ji Siyan's handsome face.
"Brother Si Yan, you're back."
"Um……"
Ji Siyan responded in a deep voice. His dark eyes looked at Yun Wu with an inexplicable resentment. When he saw her empty waist, he couldn't help but ask:
"Where is the jade pendant I gave you?"
"That jade pendant is really too valuable. I'm afraid it might get bumped or scratched, so I've kept it in safekeeping."
Yun Wu's voice was soft and sticky. Ji Siyan's frown relaxed a little after hearing her words, and then he said awkwardly:
"That jade pendant is something I have worn since I was a child. It has a special meaning... You don't have to worry about anything else. Since it is given to you, it is yours."
Yun Wu knew that the jade pendant was priceless, but she never thought that it was such a precious item of Ji Siyan. She suddenly felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't explain it.
"it is good……"
Yun Wu responded softly, her fair cheeks turning a faint pink with embarrassment.
In Ji Siyan's eyes, she looked more like a shy girl, and the depression he had just felt because of Duan Qi was swept away.
He raised his hand and took out the jade pendant hanging on a black rope from his collar. His stern and serious face seemed to soften a little.
"I've been carrying it with me these days..."
Ji Siyan clearly missed Yun Wu very much before he returned to the capital, and he had rehearsed in his mind the words that would reveal his feelings, but when he really stood in front of her, he was at a loss for words.
The major general who was in command of the soldiers in the army with ease became much more timid at this moment.
At this moment, the barking of a dog attracted the attention of the two.
"Wang!"
A chubby little white dog jumped out from the bushes nearby, with a jade pendant hanging on its neck with an ordinary straw rope.
It is almost exactly the same as the one in Ji Siyan's hand, except that its name is engraved on it.
Ji Siyan lowered his eyes and stared at Xiaobai without looking away.
One person and one dog stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
