Chapter 584 The Most Severe Parting

Yun Wansheng's death still had a huge impact on Ji Xun, and his temper was very hot for days on end. Some courtiers also learned about this from their special channels, and they naturally did not want to be in trouble at this time.

For a moment, the court officials only reported good news and not bad news, but they forgot that Ji Xun was not a dull emperor, and the dark guards in their hands had more accurate information about various places than they did, and even got the information first.

Therefore, several officials who kept it a secret were brought to the knife by Ji Xun, so that the other officials woke up, knowing that reporting the news might be scolded or even demoted, but it was much lighter than losing a black hat or even losing his head.

Fortunately, Ji Xun's low pressure did not last for a few days. Su Mianyue's company and his son's understanding of people made Ji Xun feel much better. Besides, the witches also finished their ritual. Yun Wansheng was definitely not at peace after death.

"Why are you frowning again? My Yu is almost an old man." Su Mianyue raised his hand and rubbed Ji Xun's brows painfully.

"Wanyan Lin, that lunatic, is actually using the entire country to start a war against the Yan Country. According to the time the secret guards sent the news, the soldiers are already at the bottom of the city," Ji Xun said coldly.

Although the Yan Country's treasury is not empty, the lives of the people have improved, and they have been enlisted in the army according to Su Mianyue's proposal. If there is no war, they can only go home after three years of military service for an adult man, and these three years will pay more than the wages of the workers, but when the war begins, These people also wanted to return to the army to serve the country.

It can be said that the current Yan Country is strong and strong, and the military supplies are sufficient, but the price to pay for a war is still heavy, and Ji Xun hated this.

Su Mianyue frowned and thought of this. Seeing Ji Xun's ugly face, he sighed and asked, "Wanyan Lin is indeed crazy, but will Retired Emperor of hengyuan allow them to go crazy like this?"

"Hmph, Wanyan Lin ordered someone to put Retired Emperor under house arrest in order to lead his troops on a successful expedition. He did not hesitate to use his only son's life to coerce Retired Emperor into compromise. According to the secret guards, Retired Emperor is now at the end of his life, and Wanyan Lin's actions have made the courtiers feel cold and even more demoralized." Ji Xun lowered his voice.

He was the king of the Yan Country, and he would not care about the people and soldiers of the Yan Country, but the country Wanyan Lin was going to war with was the country, so he couldn't help but take this matter seriously.

Su Mianyue was silent for a moment and said, "If Wanyan Lin died, wouldn't this fight be over?"

Ji Xun was stunned, then nodded and said, "Wanyan Lin issued the decree that Retired Emperor had already prepared before the imperial expedition. He was not under the crown prince's supervision in the middle of the dynasty, and the empress, Yinn Yue, was sitting behind the curtain."

Ji Xun did not say that he had received information before. Wanyan Lin had been hiding in Capital City, the Yan Country, during their wedding, and almost caught Wanyan Lin alive.

Su Mianyue would never have thought of this, but from Ji Xun's words, he guessed that Wanyan Lin was planning to go against the water and was not prepared to return home.

The couple was immersed in their own thoughts, and it was a long time before Su Mianyue looked up and asked, "Is Yu planning to take the road personally?"

Seeing Su Mianyue frown, Ji Xun rubbed the center of her eyebrows reluctantly and sighed. Yue should know the importance of morale in the army. Since Wanyan Lin is going to do this, I'm afraid that if I don't go, I will lose the morale of the soldiers of the three armies. If the consequences are unimaginable, I can't watch the soldiers of the Yan Country sacrifice in vain to protect the country. We can't let Wanyan Lin bring his army to trample on Yan Country people."

Su Mianyue knew that Ji Xun's words made sense, and he tried to persuade him to swallow them. He just asked, "Is Yu ready? Who is he going to take this time?"

Although Ji Xun was on his own, it was only a symbolic appearance in the army. As the king of a country, he could not go to the front, but the tactical general would be the final decision-maker, but the general who led the three armies was still indispensable.

Seeing the worry and reluctance in Su Mianyue's eyes, Ji Xun was relieved. She was afraid that Su Mianyue would go to the front with him at all costs. Ji Xun did not want to be separated from Su Mianyue, nor did she want to suffer.

Moreover, the central government must have reliable and valuable people to take charge of the situation, so as not to cause a fire in the backyard.

The most important thing was that their son Ji Xingran was too young to leave his mother's company, and there were always times when he couldn't take care of it at the front.

"This time, yu qing and xiao shi will go with me, while the third class will stay in the capital and wait for orders. I can't hide the news that I went to the front personally. I'm afraid that some people will be tempted to move. Yue, you should be more careful when you stay in the palace. Everything is important to the safety of you and your son." Ji Xun didn't want to let go, but he had to warn her.

Su Mianyue leaned into Ji Xun's arms and nodded, knowing how dangerous the situation she might be facing was, but she had to brace herself for this day and let Ji Xun fight back without any worries.

"My son and I are waiting for you at home. Don't let us wait too long. My son is too young and needs me to take care of him. I am a very lazy woman. I can't guarantee that I will do something to shake my hands after a long time. Also, don't let yourself get hurt. I'm a woman who pursues perfection. There are too many scars on you. I won't like them." Su Mianyue babbled on as if it would not separate or give Ji Xun more consideration.

Ji Xun tightened his arms and rested his chin on Su Mianyue's head, "I promise, I will definitely come back in one piece. I won't let you and your son wait too long. You have to promise me to take care of yourself and my son."

The couple hugged each other tightly, enjoying the warmth of this moment. They did not know how long this separation would last, but they also knew that this separation would be the most severe one they would face in their lives, and they had to do their best to meet again.

Neither of them was the kind of man who had a strong relationship with his daughter and a short heroic spirit, so that after a moment of silence they began to discuss the matter of this expedition.

Su Mianyue told Ji Xun all the tactics she could think of, but time was limited. Last time, she wanted Ji Xun to come back safely. As for whether the tactics were despicable or not, they were going to fight against the enemy and not initiate the war. No matter what they did, they had a clear conscience.

Ji Xun, who had been living in exile for many years, was free from formalities. As long as he could reduce his own casualties and losses, he did not mind leaving vicious comments in the history books.

Ji Xun, who was also worried about Su Mianyue's situation, informed her of all the news he had recently received and handed over the intelligence network to Su Mianyue. He had certain matters in the army that would be inconvenient to handle.

"Yu, the Purple Mist Mountain and a group of monkeys haven't left the mountain yet. Their martial arts are not very good, but they are also much better than most of your army's martial arts. Especially, they are good at concealing themselves and tracking. This time when you go to the front line, I will hand them over to you. I hope you can return safely and bring them back at the same time."

Su Mianyue was worried about the safety of the monkeys, but he had to use them at this critical moment.

Ji Xun wanted to refuse, but Su Mianyue could only nod his head in response to the insistence in his eyes, thinking that when he left, he would leave more guards to protect Su Mianyue and her son, so that he could go to war without any worries.
