The deputy general snorted coldly: "What about the empress? I think she is just a villain."

"Be careful with your words." Wan Ge looked at the person in front of her and shook her head, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

"What are you afraid of? We are all our people here." The deputy general muttered carefully.

Wan Ge looked at her and knew that the other party was unintentional, but the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional: "No matter where you are, it is better to be careful when speaking."

"I know." Seeing that Wan Ge's expression was more serious, the deputy general nodded silently, indicating that he would listen.

"Then master, are we going to wait for them to assassinate us now?"

Wan Ge tapped her fingertips lightly on the table and glanced at the letter Jiang Zixi sent to her.

Of course, she was not the kind of person who would let others bully her without fighting back: "Do you think your master is the kind of person who would let others bully him? Don't worry, don't worry. When we enter Yunjing Pass, no one will come, and the empress will protect me."

"Really?" This place is very close to Yunjing Pass. I guess the assassination we just encountered was the last wave of assassinations after entering Yunjing Pass.

"You will know when you see it."

The deputy general still felt that it was unlikely, but seeing that Wan Ge was so sure, she thought it should be true.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered Yunjing Pass, an elite team appeared in front of Wan Ge, saying that they were sent by the empress to protect her and escort her back to the imperial capital.

The deputy general showed a surprised look, and he didn't expect it to be true.

So why?

Later, the deputy general found out the reason. Wan Ge had already had someone report the assassination she encountered along the way back to the imperial capital, and had people publicize it.

At first, it only referred to the emperor. Although the name was not mentioned, the person who wanted to assassinate her behind the scenes was implicitly pointed to the empress during the discussion.

Then the people started to discuss more and more. By the time the empress got wind of the news, the whole city was in turmoil. She wanted to find out who spread the rumor, but she couldn't.

Of course, whether it was a rumor or not, only she knew it.

People below were saying that Wan Ge might not be able to return to the imperial capital. Now that Jiang Rong had surrendered, he was no longer useful as a chess piece. The empress would definitely not let her come back alive.

Even though everyone knew that Wan Ge's return would definitely affect the empress's status, the empress had no choice. The 200,000 troops were all in Wan Ge's hands. She knew very well that they would listen to Wan Ge more than the tiger talisman.

So not letting her come back alive was something the empress would most likely do.

However, Rong Wanqing had always wanted to be a wise ruler, so whether it was the assassin she sent or someone really wanted revenge, if Wan Ge really died on the way back, then everyone would guess that it was her who did it.

Rong Wanqing would never allow it, and would never allow her reputation to fall into the hands of a tyrant who destroyed the bridge after crossing the river and harmed the loyal and good.

So she not only wanted Wan Ge to come back alive, but also wanted her to come back alive and intact.

As for what excuses she would find later, that would be a matter for the future. Now he could only endure it.

About half a month later, Wan Ge was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, but she needed to enter the imperial capital the next day.

Not all the soldiers around her could follow her into the imperial capital, so they all set up camp at designated locations, and the rest of the selected soldiers would follow her back to the imperial capital.
