After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 215 Ji Mingcheng's Arrival
"She's got plenty of free time."

Emperor Chongde's tone was sour, and he seemed unhappy.

She was the one who brought this up first, but in the end, she's the one who suffers the most, while she sleeps soundly.

The emperor dealt with the matter that Fang Lingchu had exposed in a grumbling manner.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

Fang Lingchu diligently learned the sacrificial ceremony procedures.

The emperor, following his own plan, intended to eradicate all those who remained with that person.

He originally thought it was better to kill one innocent person than let one guilty person go free.

But after thinking about Fang Lingchu's words, he gave up.

This made finding people even more difficult, keeping the officials of the Court of Judicial Review and the Imperial Clan Court extremely busy.

Simultaneously
On the border, Gu Wangyan and his group also encountered difficulties.

"Reporting to the commander, the people from southern Xinjiang are here again."

Gu Wangyan rubbed his temples, feeling an intense headache.

Lin Wanrou, standing next to her, also felt exhausted.

They've been here for half a month and have already resolved one battle, but ever since they learned of Lin Wanrou's existence...

People from the southern border would come over every few days, bringing a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people to provoke the city gate.

The situation in the southern border region is also unstable. Without the Holy Maiden, the tribe is in chaos, and the High Priest is seriously ill and bedridden. Therefore, they desperately need someone to go back and uphold justice.

Let them in, one at a time.

Lin Wanrou was also very troubled. She hadn't originally come here with the intention of going back with them to rule the Miao tribe, but not now.

"Yes, strategist."

Lin Wanrou's identity at the border was that of a military advisor, and most people in the army knew her identity.

However, some people are still unaware of this, since not everyone can accept the idea of ​​women holding official positions.

Gu Wangyan has been here for half a month and should leave now.

"Lord Lin, it's almost time. The people from the capital should be arriving soon."

Just then, someone arrived outside.

"Reporting to Master, a man carrying a general's token has come to see you."

Gu Wangyan thought that reinforcements must have arrived.

"Let him in"

Everyone present looked outside, waiting for that person to arrive.

Lin Wanrou lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Ji Mingcheng arrived, weary from his journey.

When they saw who it was, Gu Wangyan and Lin Wanrou were so surprised they almost dropped their jaws.

Ji Mingcheng didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here.

For a moment, there was only a brief silence.

In the silence, everyone could hear the other's heartbeat.

However, the three of them realized what was happening in an instant.

"Greetings, General Gu"

According to the ranking system, Gu Wangyan is one rank higher than Ji Mingcheng.

"Young Master Ji, are you here to pick up the commander-in-chief here?"

Ji Mingcheng took out the talisman and secret letter given to him by the emperor from his bosom and showed them to everyone.

Gu Wangyan read it quickly, then showed it to the people below him.

"Since General Ji has come, then let General Ji handle today's matter with everyone."

After saying that, Gu Wangyan automatically stood aside, acting as if it had nothing to do with me.

Others: No, you're just giving up power like that.

Lin Wanrou: General Gu bought her just like that.

Ji Mingcheng didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Wangyan and sat down in the main seat.

"Tell me about what has happened in the past two weeks!"

As the strategist, Lin Wanrou was naturally the one to speak on this matter. She gave a general overview of the situation, and the other generals added their own insights.

"The current situation is roughly like this. Miao territory has been temporarily stabilized, but there are problems within their borders that need to be addressed. The people are very restless. I don't know who is inciting them, but recently the people's emotions have been very unstable, and there have been several instances of resistance."

Also, we might be holding a funeral for General Xia in a few days to appease the people; you should also reassure the soldiers.

Ji Mingcheng nodded after listening.

"The most important thing now is how to appease the people's emotions, and when the imperial court's disaster relief funds and grain will arrive. People need to be well-fed to have the strength to survive."

"Have the potatoes been planted in the capital yet?"

Ji Mingcheng shook his head and said, "The situation was urgent, so I came directly. I don't know anything else."

Hearing this, both of them were somewhat disappointed.

After all, that was what Fang Lingchu said—a yield of a thousand catties per mu, enough to feed everyone.

"The most urgent tasks now are to appease the people and the soldiers, handle the aftermath, and prevent them from making a comeback."

"Yes, General, there haven't been any major battles these past few days, but they frequently send people to harass us. We also need to give an explanation to those in the southern border regions."

Ji Mingcheng looked at Lin Wanrou, who had remained silent.

"What are your thoughts, Strategist Lin?"

After all, this matter concerns her, and Ji Mingcheng wanted to hear her thoughts.

"I will follow the general's orders."

"Okay, then you'll go back with them in three days."

"it is good"

Throughout the entire process, Gu Wangyan did not say a word, but simply sat there quietly, providing support to Ji Mingcheng without his knowledge.

Even those who were dissatisfied dared not show it in front of Gu Wangyan.

After all, this is a ruthless demon king who kills without hesitation on the battlefield!

Who would dare cause trouble in front of him!

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be off too. I'll leave Military Advisor Lin in your care."

Okay, see you next time.

See you next time

As everyone knows, on the battlefield...

When will we meet again?

The two people standing at the summit looked at each other, smiled and nodded, and then left.

Ji Mingcheng didn't even change his clothes before going directly to the various generals to inquire about the situation here.

Everyone chatted until late at night before leaving.

Gu Wangyan also hurriedly led his men to the northwest, as autumn was approaching.

Those people are starting to get restless, and right now only Hua Yu is there, so he's really worried.

Northwest

“General Hua, we have discovered that many birds are hovering around the nearby villagers. They may be pathfinder birds that they have trained.”

"Strengthen security, send more people to collect the grain and help, and then properly resettle the villagers."

"Yes"

Watching the people leave, Hua Yu felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

She's still figuring out when General Gu will return; there are many things she doesn't know yet.

I'm really afraid that when the general comes back, I'll have left him with a huge mess.

And so, another 10 days passed.

"Miss, the sacrificial ceremony is tomorrow, why aren't you asleep yet!"

Blueberry paced anxiously, watching Fang Lingchu still reading comic books in bed.

"No rush, it's only a few o'clock! I'll look at it a little longer, then I'll go to sleep!"

Two more hours passed before Fang Lingchu finally finished reading the book in her hand.

I was just about to go get another one when I glanced at the time in the system space.

Just in the early morning
【Ugh, Guagua, why didn't you remind me to go to sleep?! I have to get up at 4 AM tomorrow!】

[Host, you're the one who said you couldn't sleep, how can you blame me?]
