Chapter 1383 Zhao Ji's Shock

Pingshan County.

Yun Zheng received a report from the outpost that Qin Liugan and Zhao Ji had come to Pingshan together.

Out of respect for the old rogue, Yun Zheng personally took Miaoyin out of the city to greet him.

Now that everything has been laid bare, he and Qin Liugan no longer have to act.

"Duke Rong, why are you here together?"

Yun Zheng asked Qin Liugan curiously.

"Let's go into the city first!"

Qin Liugan laughed, "By the way, let Qihu, that bastard, come back with his family. I miss my grandchildren so much!"

"no problem!"

Yun Zheng laughed: "I will send someone to tell him the order later!"

Yun Zheng laughed and led Qin Liu and the others into the city.

Arriving at the county government office, Qin Liugan directly took out the imperial edict and handed it to Yun Zheng, "Take a look for yourself!"

Yunzheng was speechless.

This old rogue, is he so casual in delivering orders?

Yun Zheng unfolded the imperial edict and looked at it, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Counting the time, it has been almost five years since they left the imperial city.

It’s time to go back to the imperial city!

However, before returning to the imperial city, he still had a lot of things to arrange.

They have returned to the imperial city. There must be no chaos in the north!

"My son, I accept the decree!"

After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he put away the imperial edict and turned to look at Zhao Ji. "General Zhao, do you believe what I said now?"

"I am ashamed!"

Zhao Ji stood up and handed another imperial edict to Yun Zheng.

"what?"

Yun Zheng was a little confused.

What's going on?

Did Zhao Ji also convey an order to himself?

Zhao Ji: "This is the decree sent by His Majesty to me, Duke Rong. Your Highness, please take a look at it first!"

"Oh?"

Yun Zheng was slightly surprised and reached out to take the imperial edict.

Why did he want to show himself the imperial edict that his father gave to Zhao Ji?

Could it be that this imperial edict is related to me?

As the imperial edict unfolded, Yun Zheng understood instantly.

Zhao Ji's military power was temporarily taken over by Xue Che. Zhao Ji was stripped of his title and dismissed from office, becoming a commoner.

However, as long as the Zhao family members did not participate in the rebellion, they would be exempt from punishment.

Emperor Wen asked Zhao Ji to come to him, and it was up to him to decide whether to use or kill him.

"Someone, tell Pang Jinjiu to come here immediately!"

Yun Zheng said this and returned the imperial edict to Zhao Ji.

"When do you plan to leave for the Imperial City?"

It was not until this time that Qin Liugan asked Yun Zheng.

"We have to wait at least three to five days!"

Yun Zheng said seriously: "I still have a lot of things to arrange here!"

"As soon as possible!"

Qin Liugan sighed softly: "The matter of the third brother is a big blow to His Majesty. It will be a comfort to His Majesty if you return to the imperial city as soon as possible."

"I see!"

Yun Zheng nodded gently, and then asked Qin Liugan: "Has the third brother been caught?"

"This beast has gone crazy now!"

Speaking of the third brother, Qin Liugan immediately started cursing.

The third brother originally wanted to go to Longji to find Yuan Cong and Yuan Gui, father and son, but because the people arranged by Yun Zheng took back Longji and captured Yuan Cong, the third brother had to temporarily change his strategy.

The third brother and his troops were divided into three groups. In one group, Gu Lianyue, with two children and three hundred soldiers escorting Queen Wang, took a small path to the Qi River, intending to attack the dock on the Qi River, rob merchant ships and go down the river. While the navy had all defected to Yun Zheng, they sailed out to sea from Gaolin Port and escape far away overseas.

The third brother escorted the ninth brother and fled with several hundred men into the vast mountains northwest of Dengzhou.

In addition, the third brother sent two assassins to protect his eldest son and hide him.

The pursuers led by Zhou Dai were attracted by Gu Lianyue's group and intercepted them halfway.

Gu Lianyue originally wanted to drag Queen Wang to die together, but fortunately Yan Li, who escaped with the Third Brother and the others, desperately blocked the knife for Queen Wang.

Yan Li was seriously injured and his life was in danger.

It was also at this time that they realized that Yan Li had already defected to Yun Zheng.

Gu Lianyue committed suicide when she was left with no other options, and one of her two children died and another was injured in the chaos.

Right now, Wu Du from Dengzhou and Longji's troops are heading into the mountains to search for the third brother.

But the mountain is too big, and it would be difficult to catch the third brother in such a vast mountain.

As for where the third brother’s eldest son was taken by the two assassins, not to mention Zhou Dai and his men, even Gu Lianyue’s men didn’t know.

There are only a few of them. As long as they escape the search range and hide somewhere, they should not be found in a short time.

After listening to Qin Liugan's cursing narration, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh softly.

The third child has become smarter now.

His eldest son is the spark!

Even if they were all caught, as long as his eldest son was not caught, he could become the spark that would cause chaos in Daqian in the future.

The third brother must be trying his best to take revenge on them now.

He is no longer thinking from the perspective of the prince.

He's just an Avenger now.

The more chaotic Daqian is, the happier he will be.

Just when Yun Zheng was secretly sighing, Pang Jinjiu, who had received the notice, rushed over.

As soon as Pang Jinjiu arrived, he bowed to them one by one.

"Okay, don't be too polite."

Yun Zheng stopped Pang Jinjiu and pointed at Zhao Ji and asked Pang Jinjiu, "You should recognize this person, right?"

"Of course I do."

Pang Jinjiu nodded quickly: "General Zhao is the only Confucian general in our dynasty. If I don't even know General Zhao, then I have been in the army for so many years in vain."

"Don't, don't..."

Zhao Ji shook his head repeatedly, "Zhao has no official position now, so I don't deserve this title."

"what?"

Pang Jinjiu was slightly surprised and cast a questioning look at Yun Zheng.

"Don't even think about it if you don't have an official position or a job!"

Yun Zheng smiled at Zhao Ji and his voice suddenly changed: "Zhao Ji, listen to my orders!"

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned, then stood up suddenly.

Yun Zheng also stood up and said sternly: "From now on, I appoint you as the Marshal of the Left Route, with Pang Jinjiu and Qu Zhi as deputy marshals. You will control the troops of Fuzhou, Juzhou, Minzhou, and Muzhou. Select 100,000 elite soldiers from them and prepare to march to Xiqu! Anyone in the army who disobeys orders will be allowed to act at your discretion!"

what?

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned.

Left Marshal!

He originally thought that Yun Zheng would at most let him command 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers to guard one side, but he never expected that Yun Zheng would actually appoint him as the left marshal!

"Why, didn't you hear my order clearly?"

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Ji.

Hearing Yun Zheng's question, Zhao Ji suddenly came to his senses and said loudly: "I obey your orders! I thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

Having said that, Zhao Ji was about to kneel down.

Yun Zheng supported Zhao Ji and said sternly, "Don't thank me! You'd better show me your true abilities, otherwise, I will just let you, a scholar-general, feed the horses!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ji obeyed the order loudly.

Yun Zheng sat down again and instructed Zhao Ji: "Your old subordinates in Guangling and Linjiang should be persuaded to surrender! In addition, you should take care of the arrangements for Wei Yu and Zhou Mi. I promised them that I would let them lead their troops to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds! And Zhou Daogong... well, forget it, I will talk to him first!"

"Zhou Daogong?"

Zhao Ji was stunned. "He...has surrendered?"

"What do you mean by surrender?"

Yun Zheng looked at Zhao Ji with a smile, "He has been my man for a long time!"

what?

Zhao Ji looked at Yun Zheng in shock, his heart could not calm down for a long time...
