C189 General Command

Qi He stayed at the Imperial Advisor's estate for some time before returning. Not long after he returned, the palace sent someone over to pass the decree that the empress dowager wanted to invite Qi and the princess to the palace.

The relationship between Qi and the empress dowager wasn't very good. After all, they weren't related by blood, but now that the empress dowager wasn't in the palace, it was understandable that an old woman like the empress dowager would try to find someone to talk to. Furthermore, Qi He was known to be an eccentric person, so it was very appropriate to look for her.

Just like that, Princess Qi and Wei were invited into the palace to meet the empress dowager.

As expected, the empress dowager had prepared delicious food.

"By the looks of it, it has been a very long time since I last saw you. It is rare for you to be free today."

It seemed that she had done her homework and knew that Wei and Su liked the smell of incense. As a result, the cauldron in the palace was still burning and it smelled very good.

"That's right, esteemed empress dowager. Although Qi He cares deeply about you, he hasn't found the time to come and pay respects to you. May esteemed wangfei please forgive him." Everyone loved to hear nice words. Wei He wasn't a person who liked to flatter. It was just that the other party was a pitiful and lonely old woman, so she wanted to say a few words to make her happy.

"What is this child talking about? You also have parents to serve. This one understands. Come, try out some of these dishes. This one specifically ordered the imperial chef to make them for you." Her Majesty put some fish in her bowl.

"Thank you, Empress."

The empress dowager looked around before sending off the palace maid, leaving behind only Senior Servant Li.

"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for Wei He to be so courteous. Just treat it as if he's at home." Her Majesty tried to be kind.

Of course, she was a success.

"Since esteemed wanghe said so, then there's no need to be polite." She instantly transformed into a lively and adorable appearance. "Empress, Wei and his servants have recently told you quite a few wild stories. If you're interested, can I tell you more?"

"Of course it's good. When I was young, I enjoyed listening to stories that didn't make it to the table. It's just that now that I'm old and have a lot of things to do, I'm delayed because of it. It's good to hear more from you today."

Wei He began to talk as he ate.

"Xuan Yue is currently at war with Dongluo City. Do you know who the great general of Dongluo City is?" The story had to be told slowly, which would be interesting, and the best way to add interest would be to ask questions in the course of the story.

The empress dowager thought for a moment, then slowly replied, "Yes, my name is Amu …" What was Ammu … "Oh, I remember now. It's called Amudu, isn't it?"

"Exactly." Qi He nodded. "Empress, you don't know who Amudu's wife is."

Her Majesty was intrigued by this question.

"Then quickly tell This Dowager who it is."

Senior Servant Li, who was waiting on the side, was also very curious. Although Dongluo City was an enemy kingdom, they had lived in the Imperial Palace's courtyard for a long time, so they really didn't know many things.

Sure enough, there were many outsiders in the palace, so he was well-informed.

"It's his sister-in-law." Wei He's tone sounded very mysterious.

When the empress dowager heard this, she was stunned. "His sister-in-law? "Doesn't that mean …"

This was an emotion that the heavens and earth could not tolerate.

"Ah Mu Du was extremely shameless. His brother's wife was very beautiful, but he drooled and kept harassing her without any results. But the heavens didn't open their eyes, and his brother actually suddenly died. Ah Mu Du, take advantage of sister-in-law being alone in the empty room and beat her …"

"AHH!" The empress dowager was incredulous. "That woman didn't resist?"

"If he resists, is it going to work?" "Amudu is a man, and a great general. His strength is far above hers."

When a man had the nature of a beast, how could a weak woman be his opponent?

"That's true. But a woman being humiliated like this … if this were to happen to This Dowager, then This Dowager would definitely die to protect her innocence." After all, this was a society where chastity reigned supreme.

"That's the problem." Qi He took a sip of tea and continued, "The people that Amudu sent to guard her just in case she tried to commit suicide. That woman must have had a hard time. He can't even beg for death."

"Ai, I didn't expect there to be such an absurd thing in this world. Li mama, what do you think?" The empress dowager turned her head to meet Li mama's gaze.

"This servant thinks so too." In the face of reality, who wouldn't nod their heads?

The Empress Dowager then thought of something else and asked, "How can the Emperor of Dongluo, someone so heartless and unfaithful and unfilial, trust him so?"

[Isn't a monarch like to let others see him as a saintly man?] How could he let such a person become a great general?

Wei He sneered, "The Emperor of Dongluo is different from his uncle. That Emperor has taken a fancy to Amudu's fighting skills, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. As for Amudu's private life, the Emperor didn't mind at all and even wanted to grant marriage to him and that woman. However, because of his disreputable reputation, he met with opposition from a group of ministers."

"Heh heh, what a joke," the empress dowager suddenly felt gratified. "Fortunately, our Grand General Xuan Yue doesn't seem to be that ridiculous."

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm. In the hearts of the people, Chu Jingli is much better than Amu.

At this moment, the number of people who knew that Chu Jing had become engaged to someone else was extremely small. Those who knew that he had become engaged to someone else twice were even rarer.

Well, let's see how the great general Xuan Yue is doing on the battlefield.

"General, according to the report from the scouts, there are about ten thousand enemy troops. They are coming in a roundabout way and are attempting to ambush us!" He casually entered the military tent and knelt down on one knee while cupping his fists in salute.

"Since this Amu Du will launch a sneak attack, I will give him a huge gift." Chu Jingli raised his eyes and asked, "How many people were captured before?"

"General, about five hundred people."

Ruo Ying was puzzled. What was Young Master trying to do? Could it be that those captives were still useful?

"Enough." Chu Jingli stood up and turned around with his back facing them. With his hands behind his back, he said, "Follow me and choose the 100 strongest soldiers. Let them wear the uniform of the enemy army."

Phantom Shadow's eyes lit up. "No wonder Young Master didn't kill them before. Their clothes are now of use."

"Not only that, in the future, their people will also be of use." Chu Jingli smiled proudly, "Remember, you must be careful. Take advantage of the war and let them sneak in."

"That general, they only have a hundred men. I'm afraid they can't fight against hundreds of thousands of enemies." He casually voiced out the worries in his heart.

Chu Jingli slanted his eyes at him, "Why did Suifeng suddenly become confused. All this while, you've always been the one that captures my heart the most."

Upon hearing this, Ruo Ying couldn't help but laugh. "Big Brother, I want you to show off less in front of Young Master. Now you can't show off anymore. You must have made a fool of yourself, right?"

The roots of his ears were red, and he was ashamed to the point of being unable to show his face.

"Whatever, speak less, Ruo Ying." Chu Jingli looked at the map, "I want them to sneak into the enemy troops, not kill them. 100 people is too few, it's just a cup of water with a very small wage, it's not even worth mentioning."

"Young master wants to …"

"Follow me. Tell me, what is the most important thing for an army?"
