Chapter 747: Rebel Back!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What about those carriages?”
“About that…” Marquis Ji couldn’t say that Wei Zizhan might not be in those carriages. After all, if he was found, he would definitely be sent to the Imperial Capital. If he wasn’t, Shao Zhongxi wouldn’t have split into dozens of groups. He would definitely be in one of the carriages. However, he didn’t know which carriage he was in.
Therefore, Marquis Ji said, “How about this? We will continue to kill those who should be killed. We will ambush those who should be ambushed at the entrance of the capital. We will still kill Ji Yi. If the Crown Prince really is found, there will be solid evidence that can make the Emperor punish us, we will have no choice but to rebel.”
At this point, Marquis Ji instructed his son, “Qiwei, quickly write a letter to your brother and tell him to quickly and secretly make preparations for war. If anything goes wrong, we’ll meet up with him and rebel in the West.”
He had a son called Ji Xiehui.
However, he was not his biological son. He had picked him up on the street 15 years ago. At that time, Xiehui was only nine years old. He was begging on the street and was very miserable. Many beggars bullied him, but he was not afraid. He held in his unyielding spirit and even beat those big beggars until they ran away. Marquis Ji felt that this unyielding spirit could benefit him, so he adopted the child into his family.
He didn’t think of him as a son at first, but he realized that Xiehui was very smart and could draw inferences from one instance, so he acknowledged him as his son.
In reality, he only had one son, Ji Qiwei. The rest were all daughters, so he didn’t have many children. Having one more son meant that he could have one more person to share his burden.
The facts showed that he was not mistaken about his son.
As long as it was something he ordered, his son would do it for him even if it would cost him his life. If there was any danger, his son would be the first to block it and not let anything happen to him or his family.
Originally, Marquis Ji was in charge of the western army. However, two years ago, there was an attempted assassination that caused him to deal a heavy blow of injuries. Now, his arms could not use much strength, so he naturally could not take charge of the western army. His son, Ji Qiwei, was not a talented general, so he could not be relied on. Coincidentally, his son, Xiehui, had been with him in the western army camp for many years. Everyone knew that he was a talented general and had made many military achievements. Therefore, he wrote a letter to propose that Xiehui take charge of the western army.
The Emperor approved and granted his family Xiehui the title of West General.
Now, Xiehui was the General in the western camp and was in charge of the western army.
“Alright, I’ll write to Xiehui now!” Ji Qiwei immediately said. Although his younger brother was much more talented than him, he still treated him like family. He had almost lost his life many times to protect him. Anywvay, he trusted his younger brother very much.
At noon that day, the current Emperor of Da Ling, Emperor Hao, received a memorial from the Magistrate of Changyu District. He now knew someone had massacred the Heshi County’s residence. Naturally, Emperor Hao was furious.
It was also noon that Qi Ye came to the southern camp again to look for Shao Shuting.
When he heard that his nephew had been found and was about to be sent to the Imperial Capital for a blood test, Shao Shuting was naturally overjoyed.
The Ji family and Consort Yi had been too busy to take care of themselves recently. They had already transferred all the people from the Imperial Capital to Lingshan Town in Xinyuan County to the North. Not to mention Pingan Town, there were no more people from the Ji family and Consort Yi in the whole of Xinyuan County. Shao Shuting naturally had to tell his sister about this great news.
He still had to oversee the army and couldn’t go, so he could only let Shiye go..
