Chapter 155 My Rong'er is the most amazing!
"Come in," Jun Ce said in a deep voice.
The figure stared wide-eyed as Fei Ying pushed open the door and went inside.
Shocked in my heart.
My lord, so fast?!
Zhiying hurriedly followed Feiying into the room and saw Jun Ce and Zhai Rong both dressed neatly and sitting at the table. Zhiying felt a pang of regret.
That's it, the matter of having no heir is now a foregone conclusion.
Who would have thought that our lord, despite his outward appearance of glory, is actually just a showy but incompetent fool!
He looked at Zhai Rongyu with great sympathy.
Miss Zhai loves him so much.
Seeing the figure looking at Zhai Rongyu with a strange expression, Jun Ce frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What kind of look is that?"
The figure hurriedly lowered its eyes, not daring to look any further.
"Your subordinate has overstepped his bounds!"
He felt a deep sadness in his heart.
The master's possessiveness is getting the better of him; he won't even let anyone see Miss Zhai anymore.
Who knows if it wasn't caused by an inferiority complex?
He understands! He understands everything!
He stood alone, his face filled with sorrow.
Jun Ce glanced at him coldly and ignored him, then asked Fei Ying, "What happened on the frontier?"
Fei Ying cupped his hands and reported, "Nan Sang suddenly launched an attack on Guanling City, and our army's supplies were seized. If we don't send more supplies to rescue them, I'm afraid Guanling City will fall!"
The lone figure immediately became furious: "What is this border garrison commander good for?"
"How come as soon as General Zhai returned to the capital, Nan Sang took advantage of the situation and seized the grain?"
Even in a place like Guanlingcheng, grain could still be stolen.
This border guard is utterly useless!
Zhai Rong listened quietly, carefully recalling the plot in her mind.
After his brother returned to the capital, the garrison commander was replaced by one of his trusted confidants.
[That's the deputy general surnamed Fucha!]
This person is untrustworthy; there's likely something fishy about the theft of the grain supplies.
Unfortunately, she was too busy watching the melodramatic romance to be familiar with the battle situation on this side; otherwise, she could have known some of the plot beforehand and been of some help.
Now we can only take it one step at a time.
Jun Ce narrowed his eyes slightly, his already angular profile now appearing even sharper.
He stroked the jade pendant with one hand and said, "Guanling City is not the closest city to Nansang, and its terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. They went to such lengths to avoid the nearby city, I'm afraid they have other plans."
"Is the court aware of General Zhai's military expedition?" he asked.
Fei Ying nodded.
"Nan Sang suddenly launched an attack. This matter was supposed to be confidential, but somehow the news spread throughout the capital."
"It's likely that someone deliberately leaked it."
"Now, everyone in the court and among the people is urging General Zhai to go on the expedition."
Jun Ce's cold eyes held a hint of pressure.
How could those courtiers be so unanimous in their statements?
I'm afraid someone has done the work behind the scenes.
Rong'er is right. Zhai Sangjie's expedition this time is likely to end in disaster.
Nan Sang deliberately chose Guanling City as the first place to attack, probably because it was the territory guarded by Zhai Sangjie's trusted general.
If Guanling City is attacked, Zhai Sangjie will definitely lead the expedition!
It seems they've come for Rong'er's older brother this time.
"The news spread so quickly, there must be some inside agents of Nan Sang in the court."
Jun Ce's cold voice revealed no emotional fluctuations.
Zhiying said anxiously, "Then their recommendation of General Zhai means that Nansang wants more than just Guanling City this time; they also want General Zhai's life!"
Jun Ce glanced at him: "You're not too stupid."
The lone figure scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.
Jun Ce turned his worried gaze to Zhai Rongyu: "Rong'er, Guanling City is a vital transportation hub in the north, and it must not fall into the hands of Nan Sang."
"But there is no one left in the court who can be of use."
"General Zhai's expedition is imperative."
Will you resent me?
She resented him for knowing it was a dangerous situation, yet still letting her closest relative go on this journey.
Zhai Rong met his gaze, her eyes clear as a spring, "As citizens of Longyan, we have a responsibility to protect Longyan."
"I believe in my brother."
He will surely return victorious!
Jun Ce looked at her earnestly and nodded, saying, "I will find a way and do everything I can to save his life."
Fei Ying frowned and said, "Even if General Zhai immediately leads his troops to the front lines and transports supplies, I'm afraid it won't be enough to provide timely assistance."
"It's deep winter there now, and without food and supplies, we probably won't last more than a few days."
"Are we just going to hand over Guanling City to Nan Sang?"
After a moment's thought, Zhai Rongyu said to Jun Ce, "I can go and transport the grain!"
The three of them turned to look at Zhai Rongyu.
Zhai Rong's almond-shaped eyes were watery as she raised the talisman in her hand and winked at Jun Ce: "You know I can get there in an instant."
Jun Ce patted her head and said with a touch of indulgence, "Of course I know."
“My Rong’er is the most amazing.”
Fei Ying coughed lightly and looked away.
She stood there, rubbing her hands together, a doting smile on her face.
His gaze toward Zhai Rongyu held even more admiration; from now on, Miss Zhai would be the person he respected most!
After all, she was the only one willing to take in the Lord!
Zhai Rongyu blushed and slapped Jun Ce's hand away, scolding, "Who's yours!"
"My surname is Zhai!"
Jun Ce looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, his obsidian-like eyes gleaming with a soft light.
I will give you my last name.
That day will come sooner or later.
He is willing to wait.
Jun Ce composed himself and said to Zhai Rongyu in a serious tone, "In that case, you and your brother will split into two groups and transport the grain to Guanling City separately."
"Two supply routes?" Zhai Rongyu asked, puzzled.
"My task of transporting the grain is sufficient."
[Brother, traveling light, wouldn't you be able to reach Guanling City much faster and provide support to the enemy?]
Why transport supplies along two separate routes?
Jun Ce curled his lips and said, "What you're transporting is real grain."
"As for what your elder brother transported, it was bait to lure the enemy."
[A bait to lure the enemy?]
After a moment's thought, Zhai Rongyu suddenly realized the truth.
"I understand. Nan Sang will definitely ambush my brother!"
"You want my brother to draw their fire so that Guan Lingcheng's troops can catch them off guard?"
Jun Ce gently pinched the tip of her nose. "Smart."
“The weapons your brother transported were naturally top-quality ones.”
"Nansang thought they had victory in their grasp, but they never expected that we would trap them like turtles in a jar."
Zhai Rongyu raised her head, her smile as bright as spring flowers.
"You're really cunning."
Now Nan Sang is like the dumpling filling, wrapped up from both ends~
Jun Ce shook his head and chuckled.
Her metaphors were really strange.
Jun Ce said to Zhai Rongyu, "Later, you will come with me to the palace to meet the Emperor. We will also teach Nan Sang a lesson."
She suddenly sent grain and ordered the soldiers guarding the border of Guanling City to rise up against the enemy, but the soldiers might not listen.
Moreover, if Fucha Xiangming were truly a spy, he would definitely try to stop it.
We must request an imperial decree for Rong'er.
Zhai Rongyu nodded.
Jun Ce said to Zhiying and Feiying, "You may leave now."
"Rong'er, come with me."
Before entering the palace, there is something I need to show her first.
Zhiying and Feiying exchanged a glance and then took their leave.
Jun Ce stood up, helped Zhai Rongyu wrap herself in her cloak, and then took her hand and walked outside.
His palms were broad and warm, and the girl's slender hand was held in his palm, giving her a great sense of security.
Zhai Rongyu followed him curiously.
But the gaze fell on their tightly clasped hands.
A sweet feeling welled up in my heart.
What are you taking me to see?
[Very mysterious.]
