No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 584 Yao Zhong vs Wu Jun
Because two high-level generals were killed suddenly, the entire Bai family army was a little panicked.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Bai family army or their family members, there is a faint feeling that the rain is about to come.

Wu Jun is in the center of the vortex, this feeling is naturally more obvious.

Wu Jun calmly watched the lobbyists leave, his face could not help showing a little tired look, this is already the second wave of lobbyists today.

The people sent by Ji Zhan were quite polite before, but this time the people sent by Wu Ye were very arrogant, more like threats than lobbying.

Wu Jun suppressed the anger that he didn't see people kicked out, and he sent people away after perfunctory effort.

"General, this Wu Ye is really deceiving people too much!" Wu Jun could bear it, but the young man standing behind him couldn't.

As soon as the guest left the door, he couldn't help saying angrily.

Wu Jun glanced back at him, and said in a deep voice: "We are in the Qi Clan's royal city, and we are all outsiders. What's more...the Bai family army was originally owned by the princess, and we are like this now..."

There was a hint of displeasure on the young man's face, he wanted to say something but he swallowed it back abruptly.He changed his tune and said, "Then why are we just listening to Wu Ye's orders?"

Over the years, Wu Ye has faintly become the biggest ruler of the Bai family army, not only because of the large number of troops under his command, but also because of Bai Jingrong's trust and closeness to him.

But Wu Ye's ambitions, those generals who often deal with him may know better than Bai Jingrong.

Wu Ye is not just loyal to Bai Jingrong!

The Bai family army indeed belonged to the Bai family, but people were originally loyal to Emperor Wu of Chen, not the princess Bai Jingrong.They followed Bai Jingrong out of the customs, thinking that Bai Jingrong could borrow Qi tribe soldiers and horses to help them re-enter the Central Plains and Xie's family to fight for revenge for His Majesty.

However, once they arrive at the Qi people, many things cannot be decided by them.

The Qi people did fight a lot with Dasheng in those years, and at first they had some hope, but then they gradually understood.Where are the Qi people helping them?
It is clear that they are being used as cannon fodder, but what they are doing is their desire to compete with the Great Sheng Dynasty of the Central Plains.

Since then, many people have lost their hearts to Bai Jingrong.

But now, the Qi people are no longer what they used to be, but Bai Jingrong still has to fight for power with his son who has just succeeded to the throne!

The Qi people always regarded them as outsiders, and it was time for them to work together and firmly establish a foundation in the Qi people when Ji Zhan succeeded to the throne.

Now this mother-child dispute has made many people even more disheartened.

Regardless of whether Ji Zhan or Bai Jingrong won in the end, they would all have to pay a heavy price.

And they don't want to be this cannon fodder.

Wu Jun was also sullen, he didn't want to participate in the battle between Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong, and he didn't want to become a pawn of Wu Ye's ambition.

But he is not alone, if he could let go, he would have left long ago, how could he stay until now?
Wu Jun couldn't help thinking of Xie Yan who had just met once, the Dasheng regent who came to Qizu King City without a sound.Now neither Ji Zhan nor Bai Jingrong obviously don't know that he has arrived, if what he said is true...

However, are the soldiers under his command willing to follow him and surrender to Xie Yan?After all, they were once enemies too.

If Xie Yan regretted it again when he returned to the Central Plains, wouldn't he have sent himself and his soldiers to a dead end?
Wu Jun also had a splitting headache for a while.

Just when Wu Jun was getting irritable, a guard outside came in and reported that a gentleman surnamed Yao asked to see him, saying he was a friend of the general.

Wu Jun was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood the identity of the person who came, and quickly ordered the guards to invite him in, and sent the young man who stretched out his hand to go out first.

The young man still wanted to say something to Wu Jun, but his face showed a bit of reluctance.

Wu Jun only said that he has distinguished guests, and we will talk about what he has later.

After a while, Yao Zhong was led in by the guards.

He rarely wore a long robe commonly worn by businessmen from outside the Great Wall. His head and face were covered by a long veil, only his eyes were exposed.

After the guards went out, Yao Zhong took off the cloth scarf on his head to reveal a still handsome face.

He smiled and said, "General Wu, how are you doing after a long time no see?"

Wu Jun's complexion was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yao is so courageous to visit the door in broad daylight."

Yao Zhong said, "General Wu doesn't welcome you?"

Wu Jun snorted softly, looked at Yao Chong and said, "Mr. came to the door suddenly, does His Highness Ji Rong know?"

Wu Jun didn't know Yao Zhong's real identity. He met Yao Zhong by Ji Rong's side once in a while. Yao Zhong's identity was Ji Rong's aide.

Later, Yao Zhong would come to drink and chat with him from time to time, but Wu Jun didn't care, he just thought it was Ji Rong who wanted to win him over with his troops.

Wu Jun has long been tired of these intrigues, and has already made up his mind to be alone, and no one will help.

But how can this be decided by a small general with less than [-] soldiers in his hands?

In the past two years, thanks to Yao Zhong secretly giving him some advice from time to time, Wu Jun was not involved in the power turmoil in the Qi clan's royal city.

Therefore, it is not wrong for Yao Zhong to say that the two are friends.

Yao Chonghun smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm afraid that General Wu has a severe headache these two days?"

Wu Jun glanced at him and made a gesture of please.

Yao Zhong was not surprised, he walked to the side with Wu Jun and sat down leisurely.

The two sat down separately, Yao Zhong took the initiative to reach out and picked up the jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for the two of them, saying: "The two in the palace, I am afraid that no one will let the other, although the general's soldiers and horses There are less than [-] people, but it is still a force in the Qi clan's royal city. What's more... Neither King Qi nor the queen mother can tolerate the general wandering outside their control. The general must be careful."

Wu Jun looked at him and asked, "Where is Your Highness Ji Rong?"

"What?" Yao Chong seemed puzzled.

Wu Jun said: "King Qi and the Queen Mother will not let us go, what about Your Highness Ji Rong? Doesn't he want to get the soldiers and horses in my hands? After all, he is the weakest of the three forces, right?"

The expression on that face seemed to say, isn't that why you have been so attentive to me these two years?

Yao Chong felt aggrieved when he heard the words: "The general said that, but he has wronged me."

"Oh?" Wu Jun said disapprovingly, apparently not believing his sophistry.

Yao Chong sighed lightly and said: "The general doesn't believe me, and there is nothing I can do, but I still want to argue for His Royal Highness Ji Rong, he is not interested in the soldiers and horses in the general's hands."

Wu Jun was noncommittal while drinking, he had no idea about these people who came from the royal family.

Yao Chong rolled his eyes and said, "General Wu doesn't want to take refuge in King Qi, nor does he want to obey the Queen Mother's orders. For you, the King City of Qi is not a place to stay for a long time. Is it possible that General has the heart to return to the Central Plains?" ?”

Wu Jun's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he said sharply: "Mr. Yao be careful!" If this word gets out, he is afraid that his head will fall to the ground immediately!
"No?" Yao Zhong sighed in disappointment.

Wu Jun's expression changed slightly, he stared at Yao Chong without saying a word.

Yao Zhong spread his hands lazily and said: "Well, General Wu also knows that I got it from it, and I have some news. I heard... a nobleman from the Dasheng court recently came out. If Brother Wu is interested, you might as well If you think about it, it may not be a way out for the Bai family army. You can't let so many Zhongyuan sons die in this desert, right?"

Wu Jun frowned and said: "The Bai family army has been enemies with Dasheng for many years, and the late emperor was even with the emperor Gaozu of Dasheng..."

Yao Zhong said: "That is the matter of the Xie family and the Bai family after all. The people who are the real masters of the Bai family have been dead for many years. What the Bai family's army has insisted on these years is nothing more than the obsession of the man in the palace. But go The ones who died were all Erlang Zhongyuan.”,

"Back then, the elite of the Bai family army died a lot in these years, and many married with the Qi people." Yao Zhong said lightly: "If it's another 30 or [-] years, I'm afraid there won't be many people who even remember where they came from. Alright."

Wu Jun's expression became more serious, and Yao Zhong smiled meaningfully, "Brother Wu might as well think about it."

There was silence in the room, Yao Zhong suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, I met someone a few days ago, maybe Brother Wu would be interested."

Wu Jun frowned and said, "Brother Yao, why did you say that?"

Yao Zhong said: "He came from it and called himself Bai Xu."

"Bai Xu?" The surname Bai made Wu Jun's eyelids twitch instantly, and he raised his head to look at Yao Chong.

Yao Zhong smiled and nodded, "Have you heard of this name, General?"

Wu Jun pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I remember, at the knees of the first emperor... there was a young master who seemed to have this name."

Yao Zhongdao: "Mr. Bai Xu said that he had met the Dasheng Regent a few years ago. The grievances between the Bai family and the Xie family have long since dissipated. If General Wu is willing to meet him, maybe he will have new ideas?"

"Where is he now?" Wu Jun asked hurriedly.

Yao Zhong raised his eyebrows, smiled and remained silent.

Wu Jun knew that he was impatient, so he took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if Brother Yao will let me see Mr. Bai?"

Yao Zhong said: "Brother Wu, if he is willing, of course he can. That Mr. Bai came to Qi Clan King City, he also has something to do, maybe he needs Brother Wu's help."

Wu Jun thought to himself, if that Bai Xu was really of the late emperor's blood, he would naturally be willing to work for him.

But if he is an impostor...

A killing intent flashed in Wu Jun's eyes. After so many years, why did the blood of the former emperor suddenly appear now?

Wu Jun looked at the person opposite, with a little more suspicion in his eyes.

Yao Zhong naturally saw all these in his eyes, but he didn't care, he was still smiling and relaxed.

Luo Junyao strolled leisurely in the garden of the palace, she is now considered a big celebrity in the palace.Since delivering things to the queen's palace that day, Bai Jingrong no longer restricted her movements, and even encouraged her to go out for a walk often.

However, Luo Junyao knew that the atmosphere in the palace was tense, so he didn't go out easily, so as not to be caught and make trouble.

Naturally, she didn't come out to visit the garden at this moment, but was ordered to fetch things from the queen's palace.

Luo Junyao recalled the queen's reaction when she sent something there last time, and felt that this queen might also have a story.

Luo Junyao didn't go directly to the queen's palace, but moved slightly towards the row of concubines and wives' houses next to the queen's palace.

She wanted to see if she could see Pearl.

Although Xie Yan said that someone was secretly sent to protect her, Luo Junyao was still a little worried when he remembered how she looked last time.

Before Luo Junyao approached, he saw several familiar women gathering together and making a fuss.

One of them is the woman who deliberately made things difficult for Pearl that day, and she is also the queen's own sister.It's just sisters of the same background, one became a queen and the other became a wife.

The woman still looked arrogant, and even the people around her were also very arrogant.

They surrounded a petite woman and scolded, speaking very harshly.

The woman was wearing light blue clothes, she just lowered her head and didn't speak, nor did she argue with them.

Concession obviously did not make these people stop, and those women became more and more domineering.

One of them even stretched out his hand and gave the woman in blue a hard push.

The woman in blue was unprepared, she was pushed back again and again, and fell straight backward when her feet were unstable.

Seeing this, Luo Junyao hurried forward to support the woman in blue.

"Are you OK?"

The woman was obviously frightened too, she raised her head with a pale face, "Thank you, I'm fine."

Luo Junyao couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the woman's face.

This woman is none other than Pearl.
