He was gloating over the past few days, thinking that Qin Chen was poisoned and might not be able to return to the Jingjiao Camp. Moreover, Qin Chen was originally a sickly person, and he only took care of some small things in the Shenji Camp before. Unlike them, they had to do all kinds of hard work. He was thinking that if there was any good thing, it would be good to give it to him.

In other words, if something happened to Qin Chen, the position of third-rank deputy general might be his.

But he never expected that something good would happen to him, but this good thing was a life-threatening one.

"General Yuan, what are you still standing there for?"

When Commander Zhao saw the stunned General Yuan, he immediately reminded him.

"The last general's decree."

General Yuan kowtowed immediately.

Eunuch De handed the imperial edict to General Yuan, looked at him with a smile and said.

"Congratulations, General Yuan."

"Thank you, Master De."

General Yuan took out a silver note from his pocket and stuffed it towards Eunuch De.

Eunuch De had delivered imperial edicts to some military generals before, and knew that they were not as particular as the civil officials. He took the silver note, thanked them, said hello to Commander Zhao, and left.

General Yuan looked at the imperial edict, feeling confused and even a little scared.

He had heard about what was happening in South Vietnam these days, even in the camp outside Beijing.

I heard that the prefect was killed in South Vietnam, and now they are afraid that they will rebel. If the imperial envoys go there now and South Vietnam rebels, it will be troublesome.

But no matter how scared he was, the imperial decree had already been issued, so he could only risk his life to get there.

"Commander Zhao, may I ask what is going on?"

He was obviously just a small general in the camp outside the capital, so why would the emperor issue an order to him? Could it be that someone mentioned him to the emperor? Or did someone want to kill him?

He immediately thought of Qin Chen. Could it be that the prince of Qin wanted to harm him, so he came up with this idea?

After hearing Yuan Ji's words, Commander Zhao understood that Yuan Ji was asking who had made the proposal.

"I am not aware of this matter. It was the Emperor who issued the order directly."

what?

The emperor issued a direct decree? He actually caught the emperor's eye?

Yuan Ji was very happy.

Where did the emperor hear his name? Why did he specifically order him to escort the imperial envoy to South Vietnam? If he did a good job on this mission, would he be promoted?

When he thought of this, his heart was filled with excitement. This time, he would take back everything that belonged to him.

So what if he was the son of Marquis Qin? If his family background was better than that of Marquis Qin, he might be the chief general of the Shenji Camp now.

Thinking that Qin Chen was now in charge of the research and development of those weapons, as well as those Mohist mechanisms, he became even more jealous. This time, he must win.

He must not let Qin Chen step on him all the time. He wanted to prove to everyone that although Yuan Ji's family background was not as good as Qin Chen's, he was more capable than Qin Chen.

"I'll give you a day off today. Tomorrow morning, you will lead 3,000 men to escort the two imperial envoys..."

"I will obey my orders."

After leaving the tent, other generals congratulated Yuan Ji one after another.

"Congratulations, Old Yuan. This is an imperial decree."

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan. This is an imperial edict. This is the first time I have seen an imperial edict since I was a child. You are truly our role model."

"Brother Yuan, please let us see the imperial edict."

After listening to what these people said, Yuan Ji proudly spread out the imperial edict and let everyone look at it.

"Brother Yuan, can I touch it? This is a matter of honor for our family."

"I want to touch it too."

After hearing their words, Yuan Ji immediately put away the imperial edict.
