Chapter 408 Pretentious Capital

On the roof of a restaurant near the city gate, Su Mianyue and Ji Xun drank and looked out at the fight.

The soldiers guarding the city were no better than the soldiers who had been trained all day long. The men under the nine men of timothy were more pretentious than practical. Fortunately, they had the city gate to protect them so that they could have a chance to win.

The soldiers of the various vassal kings, even if they wanted to enter the city, were mostly in a state of shouting slogans. There was only a flag with the words "Prince Pingyang" waving in the wind, and behind the soldiers was a gorgeous carriage, which should be Prince Pingyang's carriage, but they had never seen anyone inside.

"This king of Pingyang is arrogant. Does he have the right to pretend?" Su Mianyue asked in puzzlement. He had no deep impression of this Prince Pingyang.

"The king of Pingyang is the only Yan Country king with a different surname. He has the iron and steel certificate from the founding emperor. Although the city of Pingyang is only medium, it has an army that is not under the control of the imperial court, and the throne of Prince Pingyang has been passed down from generation to generation," Ji Xun replied calmly.

Su Mianyue nodded clearly and asked curiously, "Have all the emperors never thought of getting rid of this Prince Pingyang?" Allowing private soldiers was a taboo of the emperor. Su Mianyue did not believe that the founding emperor would be stupid enough to give people the opportunity to usurp the throne. He probably gave the descendants a warning that Prince Pingyang could not survive with the Yan Country.

Ji Xun sighed, "I don't know if the emperors of the past generations had the heart to get rid of the king of Pingyang, but when my father was in power, he asked me this question. I guess my father didn't want to accommodate the king of Pingyang, but Prince Pingyang was always cautious in his work. Even if the army didn't have to report to the court, he would report the number of troops to the court every year. And never more than 150,000 people, nor will they act recklessly because of the red book and iron certificate."

Hearing that Ji Xun had something to say, Su Mianyue thought for a moment and then smiled, "Maybe you can finish what your father can't do for him."

"Oh?" Ji Xun leaned closer to Su Mianyue and asked, "Yue has an idea?"

"No." Su Mianyue shook his head and smiled brightly, "It was this fool who created an opportunity for you. A vassal king came to the capital with 5,000 men and horses and dared to stir up trouble at the gate of the city. If you didn't take this opportunity to make him pay a little price, wouldn't you be sorry that the king of Pingyang shared his worries for you?"

His thin lips brushed across Su Mianyue's face. Ji Xun did not want to take advantage of such a private place. He just smiled and said, "When I heard Yue say it, I also feel that the king of Pingyang has a loyal heart. So I should give him the satisfaction."

Gesturing to the dark, Ji Xun stood up and held Su Mianyue's hand, "There's nothing to see here but blood. I'll take you back to the palace and wait for another show."

Seeing that he was able to defend the city gate, Su Mianyue was not worried about the situation here, so he conveniently handed Ji Xun his hand and asked him to hold it and get up, "For the first time, remember to keep your head on. This Prince Pingyang has probably had too many good days. If you want to experience the feeling of sleeplessness at night, you can kill two chickens to warn the monkeys. You're not afraid that someone will come after you ascend the throne."

"Everything is going well with Yue," Ji Xun said, not forgetting to kiss his ass.

"Really?" Su Mianyue's face darkened. If she was really a lucky star, father, brother and Biwu would not be in trouble. Shangguan Pei and Xuezhu...

Thinking that Xuezhu's body was still unknown where it was hidden, and Su Mianyue was afraid that Wanyan Lin would vent his anger with the body of snow bamboo when he returned to china, wouldn't she be very sorry for Xuezhu?

Sensing that Su Mianyue was depressed, Ji Xun could only hold her hand tightly and change the subject, "Although the Yan Country treasury is not empty, yun wansheng has been squandering all these years in power, and he is also demanding taxes on the people. If we can stabilize these princes without civil strife, at least not at the same time, the Yan Country will have a chance to restore its vitality, or else it will be in danger."

"Don't worry, it won't get messy." Su Mianyue smiled softly and said to Ji Xun, "So many princes, most of them want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits, and they all know that if they betray, they will die. And even if they jointly conquer Yan Capital, who will do the emperor's work in the future will not be unified praise, as long as the people with a little brain will weigh the pros and cons."

"The rise and fall of the country is only an opportunity for power and wealth in the eyes of these people. What a waste of being a descendant of the ji family!" Ji Xun looked out of the city with a gloomy face.

"This is the way of kings and ministers. Emperors can rule the world with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Only power and wealth can be possessed by their subjects. People with desires are more easily controlled. Otherwise, what do you use to buy people's hearts?" Su Mianyue, on the other hand, was more indifferent to this matter and knew that Ji Xun had already had a plan to deal with it, otherwise he would not have had the time to talk to her.

The two of them looked out of the city for a while and saw that the nine men of timothy had ordered the archery of those who had trespassed through the city gates, before they flew down from the roof towards the palace.

Prince Pingyang had never expected Ji Xun's men to order him to be shot. When the arrow rain hit the car, he was so scared that he shouted for help. Su Mianyue, who was walking in the city, could hear the sound, but he ignored it.

The king of Pingyang was Ji Xun's first warning to these vassals. No one would remember if he didn't beat them harder.

Before entering the palace, Junn Buhui held Jun Mingzhu in his arms and waited at the entrance of the palace to stop Su Mianyue from having a discussion. Although Ji Xun did not want Su Mianyue to leave, it was obvious that Junn Buhui looked anxious and unwilling to say anything and did not ask. He trusted both of them, but he could not help but eat in his heart.

"Junn Buhui, are you crazy? Why are you pulling me?" Su Mianyue shook her hand hard and still couldn't shake Junn Buhui's sleeve.

"Stop it. I have something to tell you. Come back to the palace with me." No matter how Su Mianyue asked or put on a face, Junn Buhui only had one sentence.

Ji Xun's face darkened as he watched the two of them leave. His eyes were always on Su Mianyue's sleeve, and he thought that when he was done with these things, it was time for him to have a good fight with Junn Buhui.

Now that the vassal king had different ideas, it was time for Junn Buhui, a capable man, to go around and investigate.

Not knowing that he was hated by Ji Xun, Junn Buhui had been in a state of anxiety and brought Su Mianyue back to the palace until he entered the study and confirmed that no one outside could eavesdrop. He said to Su Mianyue, "The si family is in Shangjing City. They will arrive in Capital City tomorrow. What should I do?"

"What does si family Shangjing City have to do with you?" Su Mianyue paused.

Raising jun Mingzhu higher for Su Mianyue to look carefully, Junn Buhui hurriedly turned around and said, "I finally brought the little guy this big. Should I give it to them if they come to steal someone? No, I have to think of a way. Otherwise, I will take Mingzhu away from here?"

Su Mianyue then remembered that Jun Mingzhu's mother was Si Yihuan, and the si family was Junn Buhui's maternal family. They were the real blood relatives.

Looking at Junn Buhui's flustered look, Su Mianyue believed that this guy was addicted to being a cheap father. He coughed and said, "The si family is not unreasonable. As long as you treat Mingzhu well, they won't steal your child from you. Besides, it's good that Mingzhu has the love of his grandparents. Can you run away for the rest of your life?"

Junn Buhui stopped and looked at Su Mianyue for a long time before nodding his head vigorously, "Whoever dares to steal Mingzhu from master will wait for his revenge. Even if master can't kill si family, he will never give them the chance to steal daughter from master!"
