Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 183 Killing the Enemy

Ji Anyu thought for a moment and said, "Be careful and cautious in your actions, and don't leave your back to others."

"Yes." Zhusha went out to greet Kong Zichen.

When Ji Anyu saw Kong Zichen for the first time, she was amazed by his appearance. What a handsome man he was. She thought he was a burly young general, but she didn't expect that Kong Zichen looked like a girl.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to the Crown Princess." Kong Zichen dismounted and saluted Ji Anyu.

Ji Anyu hurriedly helped Kong Zichen up, "Young General, please stand up. Thank you for coming to protect me. If you need any supplies, just let me know."

Kong Zichen smiled faintly when he saw Ji Anyu being polite. He came to Qingyu Pass to check the food and grass, firstly because he was entrusted by the Queen, and secondly because the food and grass were related to the stability of the border.

He thought the emperor would leave Qingyuguan alone, but he never expected that the emperor would send Shen Jing. He knew that Shen Jing was capable and believed that Shen Jing could get to the bottom of the matter.

Because of the Queen and the Crown Prince, the Emperor had been sending people to monitor him and his father over the years, so it was not convenient for him to teach those people a lesson openly. Two days before he learned that Shen Jing was about to arrive at Qingyu Pass, he took people out of the city to wait for Shen Jing to take action. If Shen Jing was defeated, he would go into the city to help.

Who would have thought that Shen Jing would use the Crown Prince's Consort as an excuse to delay taking any action.

For the first time in his life, Kong Zichen wanted to see the true face of the Crown Prince's Consort. He met Shen Jing who was out on business and got ambushed.

Shen Jing was worried that the prefect would take action against the Crown Prince's wife, so he asked him to go into the city to protect her.

Kong Zichen agreed to Shen Jing's proposal. When he saw the Crown Prince's wife, he thought that this woman was indeed good-looking and calm in the face of difficulties. However, he still couldn't understand why Shen Jing would go to such lengths for a woman and leave most of his men to protect her.

Kong Zichen suppressed his scrutiny and greeted Ji Anyu in a distant tone. Then he took his men to guard outside, and did not disturb Ji Anyu and the others at all with their eating, drinking, living and traveling.

This peace lasted for two days. On the third night, a bunch of assassins appeared from all directions and rushed over.

Kong Zichen stared at the person in front, who looked very familiar. He stared at him and said, "Zhou Xi, go tell Zhu Sha that there is an assassin."

Zhou Xi fired signal cannons while running, and the secret guards hiding around him vigilantly drew out their weapons and stared at the people who were walking towards them in secret like tigers.

When the assassins approached, Kong Zichen realized that the leader was Wei Songlin.

Although he didn't know when Wei Songlin broke up with Shen Jing, he was afraid that Shen Jing's wife would be in danger if she fell into Wei Songlin's hands.

"Wei Songlin, why are you running to Qingyu Pass instead of serving as an official in the capital?"

After Wei Songlin saw clearly that the person protecting Prince Zhong’s Mansion was Kong Zichen, he laughed sneeringly.

"I am naturally here to collect herbs on the orders of the Emperor. The Imperial Concubine is ill, and the Imperial Physician said she needs a medicine called Ji Han, which is near Qingyu Pass."

Kong Zichen's brows raised slightly. It's just a medicine. Does it require Wei Songlin to make a special trip to Qingyu Pass?
It was obviously an excuse made up by Wei Songlin and the imperial concubine. As soon as they arrived at Qingyu Pass, they brought a group of people here.

It seems that Shen Jing and Wei Songlin have a deep grudge against each other. No wonder Shen Jing repeatedly urged him to go into the city as soon as possible. It seems that Shen Jing knew in advance that Wei Songlin was coming to Qingyu Pass.

Kong Zichen gripped the hilt of the sword and shouted, "Wei Songlin, there is no medicine you need here, don't go any further, the sword has no eyes."

"I learned that Master Shen came to Qingyu Pass, so I came to pay my respects to him."

"Prince Shen is busy and cannot see you. Please come back another day."

"Since you can't meet Master Shen, it would be fine to meet the Master's wife. I have prepared generous gifts and will send them to Prince Zhong's Mansion." Wei Songlin put on a cold-blooded smile and continued to stride forward.

Seeing that Wei Songlin didn't care, Kong Zichen thought that there would be a fierce battle tonight.

When Ji Anyu heard the noise outside, she immediately put on her clothes and took the dagger given to her by Shen Jing. "Princess, Zhusha said we are in the house, no matter what happens, we can't go out." Qingwu's expression was rarely solemn.

Hanyan and Qiaoxin had never encountered such a tense situation and were afraid to stand next to Ji Anyu.

After a while, there was a fierce fight outside the house, and blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing the continuous emergence of secret guards, Wei Songlin was surprised that Shen Jing actually left most of the people to protect Ji Anyu. He sneered excitedly, Ji Anyu was Shen Jing's weakness!
"Charge! Capture the Crown Prince's Consort alive and you will be rewarded handsomely!"

At this time, Kong Zichen was also surprised that Wei Songlin came with the determination to win. He no longer concealed his shortcomings, and the martial arts he used suddenly turned into a deadly killing move.

Just when they were fighting evenly and it seemed that the winner could not be determined for a while, Shen Jing came back on horseback with his men!
"Wei Songlin!"

Shen Jing was angry that Wei Songlin bullied his wife while he was away, so he drew his sword and rushed towards Wei Songlin.

With the joining of Shen Jing, the situation was suddenly reversed and the morale of Zhusha was greatly boosted.

Wei Songlin was instantly at a disadvantage and lost a lot of people, so he retreated decisively.

Shen Jing did not pursue Wei Songlin. He was a little tired and needed to conserve his strength to deal with the prefect, so he ordered people to clean up the scene.

"Young Master, those troops..." Zhusha happily glanced at the cavalrymen following the Young Master. He knew at a glance that all of them were elite soldiers.

Shen Jing patted Zhusha's shoulder with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. Go back and have a rest. There are others guarding here."

Zhusha finally let go of his tense heart and went back to take a shower and have a good sleep.

Kong Zichen looked at Shen Jing with a complicated expression, "So you went to mobilize the troops. Those people are not easy to mobilize, right?" It was really unexpected that those people obeyed Shen Jing's orders when Prince Zhong was not there.

Shen Jing smiled heartily and was unwilling to talk about how he deployed his troops. He bowed to Kong Zichen in gratitude.

"Thank you, General Kong, for your help. Otherwise, Zhusha wouldn't have been able to hold on until I got back. It's getting late. General Kong, go to bed early."

"When will you start working on the food and fodder issue?" Kong Zichen had been delayed for a long time in Qingyu Pass because of the food and fodder issue. He wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible so that he could report to the queen.

Shen Jing had no choice but to force a smile. "Let me sleep for a night, and I'll get things done tomorrow. If General Kong is not tired now, please send someone to guard the city gate to prevent anyone from escaping."

Seeing that Shen Jing's eyes seemed to be bloodshot, Kong Zichen swallowed the words in his mouth and watched Shen Jing leave silently.

Shen Jing took a hot bath before entering the house to see Ji Anyu.

When Ji Anyu saw Shen Jing suddenly appear, she ran over and hugged Shen Jing.

"Where have you been? Why did you come back just now? Are you hurt?" She let go of Shen Jing and stroked his chin with both hands. "Your beard has grown a lot."

Upon seeing this, Qing Wu and the others smiled at each other, and tacitly retreated and closed the door.

When Ji Anyu saw the door closed, he suddenly realized that Qing Wu and the others were watching them, and his face suddenly turned red.

Shen Jing reached out, held Ji Anyu's hands and kissed her a few times.

"I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? I'm sorry to have made you worried."

He pulled Ji Anyu to sit on the bed and said, "Stay with me. I want to sleep for a while. I will take you to have some fun tomorrow after I finish my work."
