C25 (1/2)

The great hall instantly became much quieter.

Jin Chuao's mind was filled with all of the letters that Sun Jinzi had written to Sixth Prince. The ambiguous feelings between the lines of the letters made him wish that he could tear the letter into pieces.

But since he was a prince who had lived for many years, Jin Chuao knew that this letter was useful, so he endured his anger and kept the letter, before turning and leaving the First Prince's Estate.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The Emperor suddenly came back from hunting. It was said that the Northern Desert had joined forces with the Chiron to rebel in the north.

As a great general, and since he had been guarding the Northwest Great Town, Jin Chuyi summoned him to the palace to discuss matters, and could not care about Sun Jinzi anymore.

In Jianzhou General's residence, the days passed by unhurriedly. Every day, he would recite scriptures of Buddha to pray for Sun Jinzi.

Since everyone was busy, Sun Jinzi would definitely not be idle either. While she was thinking about how to explain what had happened between her and Jin Chupei, she was also thinking about Mu Lan's death.

Mu Lan had been dead for some time now, but the Jing Zhao Mansion did not have any useful leads. Sun Jinzi had sent people to ask for more information, but to no avail.

”Young miss, young miss …”

Just as Sun Jinzi was thinking about Mu Lan, Mu Tan floated into the room like a gust of wind.

”What is it?” Why are you making such a ruckus? ”

Mu Tan's face was flushed red. One glance was enough to tell that she was running all the way here.

Sun Jinzi hastily stood up from the chair and looked at Mu Tan with disbelief.

Why would Jin Chupei appear here for no reason? Could it be that he had something important to discuss with the Little Uncle?

”Where is he?”

Mu Tan replied: ”Sixth Prince is in the garden at the back, beside him is a handsome youth.”

Sun Jinzi got up and wanted to walk towards the back garden, but she thought that it was still early in the morning. If she went out like this and the servants saw him, it would be hard to not spread the news to the Sun Mansion.

”Mu Tan, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable. Go to the back garden and bring some fruits to the Little Uncle. I picked these in the garden at noon.”

As she spoke, she turned around and lay down on the embroidered bed, closing her eyes to rest her mind.

Although Mu Tan was curious why Sun Jinzi did not go to the backyard to see Sixth Prince, but seeing that she seemed to be asleep, she took the fruit basket on the table and headed towards the backyard.

The Northern Desert had joined forces with the Chiron in the northwest of the city. They had already broken through five cities in the Jin Country and captured and massacred the citizens, committing all sorts of crimes.

Jin Chuyi had already given the order to all the generals at the borders to stand guard. The Chiron and the Northern Desert were at the forefront of battle, it was not appropriate for them to face the enemy head on.

In the past few days, he had summoned Jianzhou General Qian Jun, General Wu Wei, Sima Ru, Minister of Revenue Sun Fuping, to discuss this matter with Prime Minister Zhong Wumou.

In the end, Prime Minister Zhong Wumou wrote a letter to Jin Chuyi.

Qian Jun had guarded the northwest for many years.

The Sixth Prince was also a famous general who was able to win battles. He was someone who followed the late emperor to wage wars against the north, and the most outstanding person who annihilated the Eastern Tomb, Chen Dong Ling. He repeatedly used his Elite Armaments to block Nan Shen Shi's opponent who was helping the East Tomb outside the Carefree Pass.

Qian Jun had been out for many years, so he hadn't been back to the capital for too long. He had only seen Sixth Prince Jin Chupei a few times during court meetings.

Jin Chupei had a dignified appearance, his nose was like a floating gall, his eyes were like a shooting star, with a single glance, he could tell that he was someone important.

”Sixth Prince, I have heard a lot about you. I never thought that I would have the honor of being together with Sixth Prince today to draw up a battle plan. It is end's fortune.”

Jin Chupei had long heard of Qian Jun's illustrious reputation, it was just that he led his troops to battle in the south while Qian Jun guarded a large portion of the land in the northwest of the Jin Country.

”General Qian is too polite, I wonder what general's thoughts are on this time's invasion of Chiron and Northern Desert?”

Qian Jun pondered for a moment, then said: ”I believe that Northern Desert must have heard of some movement, and joined forces with the Vengeance Chiron to attack my Northern Territory.”

The Northern Desert was once the strongest empire north of the Jin Country, and the Chiron was its vassal state.

Jin Country had fought with the Northern Desert for many years, so the Chiron took the chance to leave the Northern Desert, and together with Jin Jun, they had attacked the Northern Desert.

However, since the Chiron King was greedy for money and sex, and had great ambition, she wholeheartedly wanted to snatch the land that used to belong to the Northern Desert from the Jin Country. Thus, the two countries broke off their relationship three years ago.

”General is right. Northern Desert must have heard that General Li is going to wipe out the Northwest, which is why he made the first move.”

When the two of them got to this point, they didn't dare to continue talking.

Since the matter of Jianzhou General sweeping Northern Desert was a secret of the imperial government, how would Northern Desert know about it?

”Sixth Prince, what do you think about us setting up an ambush here to lure the enemy in and then eliminate the Northern Desert's cavalry?”

Qian Jun pointed to a battle map on the desk, and pointed to the location of Tiger Wolf Mountain with his left hand.

Chiron and Northern Desert were both cavalry soldiers who came and went like the wind.
