Because two high-ranking generals were suddenly killed, the entire Bai family army was in a state of panic.
Both the officers and men of the Bai Family Army and their families had a vague feeling that a storm was about to come.
Wu Jun is in the center of the vortex, so this feeling is naturally more obvious.
Wu Jun calmly watched the people who came to lobby leave, with a faint look of exhaustion on his face. This was already the second wave of people who came to lobby today.
The people sent by Ji Zhan were quite polite before, but this time the people sent by Wu Ye were very arrogant. It was more of a threat than a lobbying.
Wu Jun suppressed the anger of driving him out without seeing anyone, and finally sent the person away after perfunctory efforts.
"General, this Wu Ye is really bullying others!" 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 but said angrily.
Wu Jun looked back at him and said in a deep voice: "We are in the royal city of the Qi tribe, 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 trace of dissatisfaction on the young man's face. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back. He changed his mind and said, "Then are we just going to listen to Wu Ye's orders?"
Wu Ye has gradually become the most powerful person in the Bai family army over the years, not only because of the large number of soldiers under his command, but also because of Bai Jingrong's trust and closeness to him.
But the generals who often deal with Wu Ye may know Wu Ye's ambition better than Bai Jingrong.
Wu Ye is not just loyal to Bai Jingrong!
The Bai family army does belong to the Bai family, but people were originally loyal to Emperor Wu of the Great Chen Dynasty instead of the princess Bai Jinrong. They followed Bai Jinrong out of the border, thinking that Bai Jinrong could borrow Qi soldiers and horses to help them return to the Central Plains and fight with the Xie family again.
To avenge His Majesty.
However, once you get to the Qi people, many things cannot be decided by them.
The Qi people did fight a lot of battles with Dasheng in those years. At first, they still had some hope, but then they gradually understood. How could the Qi people help them?
He clearly regarded them as cannon fodder, but he was motivated by his 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 clan is no longer what it used to be, but Bai Jingrong still has to fight for power with his son who just succeeded to the throne!
The Qi people originally regarded them as outsiders, but Ji Zhan successfully succeeded to the throne with great difficulty. It was time for them to work together and firmly establish a foundation in the Qi people.
Nowadays, the dispute between mother and son has made many people feel discouraged.
No matter whether Ji Zhan or Bai Jingrong wins in the end, they will have to pay a heavy price.
And they don't want to be cannon fodder.
Wu Jun also had a sullen face. He did not want to participate in the fight between Ji Zhan and Bai Jingrong, let alone 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 here until now?
Wu Jun couldn't help but think of Xie Yan, whom he had just met once, the regent of Dasheng who came to the Qi Clan's royal city quietly. Now neither Ji Zhan nor Bai Jingrong obviously knew that he had arrived. If he
Tell the truth...
However, are the soldiers under his command willing to follow him and submit to Xie Yan? After all, they were once enemies.
If Xie Yan went back on his word after returning to the Central Plains, wouldn't he have put himself and his soldiers on the road to death?
Wu Jun also had a splitting headache for a while.
Just when Wu Jun was getting agitated, a guard from outside came in and reported that a gentleman named Yao wanted to see him, saying he was a friend of the general.
Wu Jun was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the identity of the person coming. He quickly ordered the guards to invite him in, and then sent the young man who held out his hand out first.
The young man still had something to say to Wu Jun, but his face showed some reluctance.
Wu Jun only said that he had distinguished guests and would discuss anything later.
After a while, Yao Zhong was led in by the guards.
He rarely wore a robe commonly worn by merchants outside the Great Wall, and his head and face were wrapped in a long gauze, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
After the guards left, Yao Zhong took off the cloth on his head, revealing his still handsome face.
He smiled and said: "General Wu, long time no see, how are you?"
Wu Jun's face looked a little ugly, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Yao is so brave, he actually came to the door in broad daylight."
Yao Chong said: "General Wu doesn't welcome you?"
Wu Jun snorted lightly, looked at Yao Zhong and said, "Sir, you suddenly came to the door. I wonder if Your Highness Ji Rong knew about it?"
Wu Jun didn't know Yao Zhong's true identity. He knew Yao Zhong because he met Ji Rong by chance. Yao Zhong's identity was Ji Rong's staff.
Later, Yao Zhong would come to him to drink and chat from time to time. Wu Jun didn't care, he just thought that Ji Rong wanted to win over him and his soldiers.
Wu Jun had long been fed up with these intrigues and had already decided to keep to himself and not help anyone.
But how can it be decided by a small general with less than 10,000 troops and horses?
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, "General Wu, I'm afraid he's had a headache these past two days, right?"
Wu Jun glanced at him and made a gesture of invitation.
Yao Zhong was not surprised as he leisurely walked to the side with Wu Jun and sat down.
The two of them sat down separately. Yao Zhong took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine for the two of them. He said: "Those two in the palace, I'm afraid they won't let anyone go. Although the general's soldiers and horses
There are less than 10,000 people, but they are still a powerful 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 Zhong seemed puzzled.
Wu Jun said: "King Qi and the Queen Mother will not let us go. Where is His Highness Ji Rong? Doesn't he want to get the soldiers and horses in my hand? After all, he is the weakest among the three parties, right?"
The look on his face seemed to say, isn't that why you have been so attentive to me in the past two years?

"Oh?" Wu Jun said disapprovingly, obviously not believing his sophistry.
Yao Zhong sighed and said: "If the general doesn't believe me, I have no choice, but I still have to defend His Highness Ji Rong. He is not interested in the soldiers and horses in the hands of the general."
Wu Jun drank wine and was noncommittal. He had no idea about these people who came from the royal family.
Yao Zhong rolled his eyes and said: "General Wu does not want to seek refuge with King Qi, nor does he want to obey the Queen Mother's orders. For you, the royal city of the Qi people is not a place to stay for a long time. Is it possible that the general has the intention to return to the Central Plains?"
?”
Wu Jun's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said sternly: "Mr. Yao, be careful what you say!" If these words spread, he is afraid that he will be killed immediately!
"No?" Yao Zhong sighed as if disappointed.
Wu Jun's expression changed slightly and he stared at Yao Zhong without saying a word.
Yao Zhong lazily spread his hands and said: "Well, General Wu also knows that I came from it, and there is some information. I heard... that a nobleman from the Dasheng court recently came out of seclusion. If Brother Wu is interested, you might as well
Think about it, it may not be a way out for the Bai family army. You can't let so many people from the Central Plains die in this desert, right?"
Wu Jun frowned and said: "The Bai family army has been enemies with Dasheng for many years. Back then, the late emperor even fought against Emperor Dasheng Gaozu..."
Yao Zhong said: "That is, after all, a matter between the Xie family and the Bai family. The real masters of the Bai family have been dead for many years. What the Bai family has insisted on over the years is, in the final analysis, just the obsession of the man in the palace. But go
Those who are sent to death are all sons of Zhongyuan.",
"Many of the elites of the Bai family army back then have died in battle over the years, and many have married into the Qi tribe." Yao Zhong said lightly: "If it takes another twenty or thirty years, I'm afraid no one will even remember where they came from.
That’s a lot.”
Wu Jun's expression became more solemn, and Yao Zhong smiled meaningfully, "Brother Wu, you might as well think about it carefully."
There was silence in the room, and Yao Zhong suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I met someone a few days ago. Maybe Brother Wu will be interested."
Wu Jun frowned and said, "Brother Yao, why did you say this?"
Yao Zhong said: "He came from it and calls himself Bai Xu."
"Bai Xu?" The surname Bai instantly made Wu Jun's eyelids twitch, and he raised his head and looked at Yao Zhong intently.
Yao Zhong nodded with a smile and said, "General, have you ever heard of this name?"
Wu Jun pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "I remember that there was a young master under the late emperor's knees, and it seems that he was named this."
Yao Zhong said: "The Master Bai Xu said that he met the Regent of Dasheng a few years ago. The grievances between the Bai family and the Xie family have long since disappeared. If General Wu is willing to meet him, maybe he will have new ideas?"
"Where is he now?" Wu Jun asked urgently.
Yao Zhong raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.
Wu Jun knew that he was impatient, so he took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if Brother Yao can let me see Young Master Bai?"
Yao Zhong said: "Brother Wu, if you are willing, you can of course. Mr. Bai has something to do when he comes to the Qi Clan's royal city, and he may need Brother Wu's help."
Wu Jun secretly thought in his heart that if that Bai Xu was really of the blood of the late emperor, he would naturally be willing to work for him.
But if he is pretending to be someone else...
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Wu Jun's eyes. After so many years, why did a bloodline of the late emperor suddenly appear now?
Wu Jun looked at the person opposite, his eyes a little more suspicious.
Yao Zhong naturally saw all this, but he didn't care. He still smiled leisurely.
Luo Junyao strolled leisurely in the garden of the palace. She was now considered a big celebrity in the palace. Since that day when she went to the Queen's Palace to deliver things, Bai Jingrong no longer restricted her movements and even encouraged her to go out for a walk from time to time.
However, Luo Junyao knew the tense atmosphere in the palace now, so he would not go out easily, lest he be caught and make trouble.
Naturally, she didn't come out to visit the garden at this moment, but was ordered to fetch something from the queen's palace.
Luo Junyao remembered the queen's reaction when he sent something there last time, and thought that this queen might also have a story.
Luo Junyao did not go directly to the Queen's Palace, but slightly moved closer to the row of houses where the concubines and wives lived next to the Queen's Palace.
She wanted to see if she could see Pearl.
Although Xie Yan said that he secretly sent someone to protect her, Luo Junyao was still a little worried when he remembered her appearance last time.
Before Luo Junyao got closer, he saw several familiar women gathering together and making a noise.
One of them was the woman who deliberately tried to embarrass Pearl that day. She was also the queen's biological sister. It was just that sisters of the same origin, one became the queen and the other became the wife.
The woman still looked arrogant, and even the people around her were also very arrogant.
They gathered around a petite woman and cursed her, speaking very unpleasantly.
The woman was wearing a light blue dress, but she lowered her head and did not speak or argue with them.
Giving in obviously did not stop these people, and the women became more and more domineering.
One of them even reached out and gave the woman in blue a hard push.
The woman in blue was unprepared and was pushed back repeatedly. She lost her footing and fell straight back.
Luo Junyao saw this and quickly stepped forward to support the woman in blue.
"Are you OK?"
The woman was obviously very frightened. She raised her head with a pale face and said, "Thank you very much. It's okay."
Luo Junyao couldn't help but be startled when he saw the woman's face.
