After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The imperial court had finally wiped out the mountain bandits that had been causing trouble for years, and the people of Kyoto were very happy.

There was a joyful atmosphere in the morning court.

"We were able to capture the barren mountain this time thanks to the prince's advance planning!"

"Yes, the bandits have been entrenched in this desolate mountain for many years, and they have finally been dealt with."

"If we can get through this tough nut to crack, Kyoto will be peaceful from now on!"

"Yes, yes! The prince is really good at planning!"

There was a lot of flattery in the court.

Xiao Yujing stood aside calmly with a gentle expression.

Emperor Chengren was very proud. The prince really lived up to his expectations!

"By the way, have all those innocent women who were found been sent home?"

"Your Majesty, arrangements have been made for the officers and soldiers to be sent back safely." Xiao Yujing said with a bow.

"That's good." Emperor Chengren nodded with a smile.

"Father, in fact, the bandit suppression this time is not just my son's credit." Xiao Yujing said.

"Your Majesty knows that General Jiang also assisted us in suppressing the bandits in the mountains this time. Don't worry, I will definitely reward him well!" Emperor Chengren laughed.

Xiao Yujing spoke again, "Father, besides General Jiang, there is another person."

"Oh?" Emperor Chengren was puzzled. Who else did he not know?

"Your Majesty, I found Princess Leping and the young prince of the Southern Dynasty at the foot of the barren mountain that day."

Xiao Yujing said in a deep voice.

"If the princess had not brought the little prince into the deserted mountains by mistake, I would not have found a chance to plant someone in the mountain stronghold."

Thinking of the thrilling experience that night, Xiao Yujing still has lingering fears.

Emperor Chengren pondered for a moment and looked at Xiao Yujing with an obscure look.

This kid is probably thinking of ways to reward the daughter of the Jiang family!

But this is indeed all thanks to her, she deserves a reward.

"I understand. I will reward you one by one later."

Emperor Chengren looked at Duke Jiang with a smile.

"Duke Jiang, you really gave birth to a good daughter!"

Duke Jiang quickly knelt down to express his gratitude, "On behalf of my daughter, I thank Your Majesty for his grace!"

The officials couldn't help but feel envious when they saw Princess Leping being rewarded again.

Look at Princess Leping. She is also a teenager, so why is she so outstanding?

No, I must urge my children to work hard and make progress when I get back!

Officials with children all made up their minds secretly.

After the morning court session ended, Xiao Yujing and the Jiang family father and son stayed behind.

Jiang Ci'an fell to his knees with a plop.

"Your Majesty, the general will be guilty!"

Emperor Chengren was puzzled, "What happened?"

Jiang Ci'an then told him everything that happened in Lingyunwei last night.

After hearing this, Emperor Chengren's face darkened.

"General Jiang, please stand up. This matter has nothing to do with you."

He knew very well what kind of person Ling Yunwei was.

What do you mean by only following the late crown prince in this life? To put it bluntly, that is just blind loyalty!

Isn't he clear about the methods of the former crown prince? It is said that those who join Lingyun Guard are orphans, but how those children became orphans back then, I am afraid it is impossible to delve into it...

Now that the remnants of Lingyunwei have been eliminated, a huge stone in his heart has finally fallen to the ground.

Emperor Chengren adjusted his mood and looked at Jiang Ci'an with a smile.

"General Jiang, you did a great job on this matter. Don't blame yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" Jiang Ci'an felt calm.

Emperor Chengren took out a memorial from the table.

"This is the military intelligence from the northern border. Take a look."

Duke Jiang took the memorial from Eunuch Luo and read it carefully.

The more he looked, the tighter his brows became.

After reading the memorial, the Jiang family's father and son all had heavy faces.

"This Bei Xin is so impatient." Duke Jiang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, winter is coming soon. If we don't start the war soon, they won't have the confidence to wait until next year." Emperor Chengren said coldly.

"This time, the Beixin Kingdom made many small moves when they came to Beijing to pay tribute, and they even tried to plant Beixin Kingdom spies in the military camp. Fortunately, we discovered them in advance." Jiang Ci'an frowned, "They thought they had a sure win."

"That's right." Emperor Chengren nodded. "In your opinion, do we need to accept the challenge now?"

Jiang Ci'an pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I think we need to wait another month."

"In the next period of time, we will retreat in order to advance, defend without attacking, and slowly wear down the patience of the Northern Xin Kingdom."

"Winter will come in a month. Even if they want to retreat and raise troops, we in Dacheng will not give them the opportunity."

Emperor Chengren thought for a moment, "What if they can't wait and start a war early?"

Jiang Ci'an smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Dacheng's army is already on standby at any time."

Dacheng's military strength can naturally fully compete with Beixin. Waiting for another month is just to defeat Beixin when their military strength is at its weakest, so as to minimize Dacheng's losses.

Even if Bei Xin started a war now, they would be able to resist it.

Emperor Chengren looked at Xiao Yujing, "What do you think, Crown Prince?"

Xiao Yujing nodded slightly, "Father, I think this plan is feasible."

Emperor Chengren nodded, "In that case, wait another month."

"General Jiang, please prepare well during this period and do not let down the people of Dacheng who trust you."

Jiang Ci'an was startled and responded with a bow:

"I will obey your orders!"

-

Yonghe Hall.

Xiao Yuheng's eyes were red, and he was holding a teacup tightly in his hand, with his knuckles turning white.

Damn Xiao Yujing, he actually found Ling Yunwei!

Lingyunwei was his last bargaining chip, but he didn't expect that his entire army would be wiped out!

His rage burned out his reason, and he exerted force with his hands, crushing the teacup to pieces.

The broken porcelain pieces cut his palm and blood dripped onto the table, but he did not let go.

"Your Highness!"

Eunuch Liu cried out in shock and rushed forward in fear. It took him a lot of effort to pry Xiao Yuheng's right hand open.

"Your Highness, why are you doing this..."

"At least His Majesty doesn't know that Lingyunwei is under your command..."

Eunuch Liu took out the broken pieces of the teacup from his hand one by one with a look of heartache.

Xiao Yuheng's head was buzzing and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Xiao Yujing, Jiang Ci'an.

You guys are awesome!

"Do you know what to do with their bodies?" Xiao Yujing asked in a cold voice.

Eunuch Liu paused his cautious movements.

"I heard that General Jiang ordered people to bury them properly..."

Xiao Yuheng closed his eyes.

He wants to get back Ling Yunwei's lives one by one!

At this time, a secret guard hurried into the hall.

"Your Highness, there is a secret letter!"

Xiao Yuheng took the letter with one hand. It was a letter from Xuanying Sect.

"Eunuch Liu, open it and take a look."

"Yes."

Eunuch Liu opened the letter, took out the letter inside, unfolded it and put it in Xiao Yuheng's hand.

Xiao Yuheng looked down and saw only a short sentence on the letter:

"The mission is cancelled. Third Prince, take care of yourself."

Xiao Yuheng suddenly clenched the letter paper, his hands shaking constantly.

What a good idea! Take care of yourself!

"Ha ha!"

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Yuheng laughed like crazy, his laughter full of despair and sorrow.

Eunuch Liu stopped what he was doing and looked at him in astonishment.

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Yuheng couldn't stop smiling, and a tear appeared at the corner of his eye.

Even the Xuanying Sect rejected his request.

Oh my God, you really want to kill me!
