This was also the reason why she deliberately told the county captain that she had been assassinated. She wanted to see whether Governor Lu was forced to bow to the Zhou family due to the situation, or whether he had long been bent on becoming Zhou's minion and Governor Lu's subordinate.
His reaction determines his own fate.
Lan An had just left for a moment, Jun Ci only had time to light a lamp, and Sheriff Lu hurried over accompanied by the county lieutenant.
"General, forgive me. It was our negligence. We never thought that the thieves would be so rampant and ambush the city, causing the general to suffer this disaster. Fortunately, the general is brave. If the general makes a mistake, it will be difficult for the subordinates to atone for their sins by death." Lu Jun.
Shou almost burst into tears, looking frightened and uneasy.
"Your Majesty is in charge of a country and is very busy with government affairs. It is reasonable for you to make occasional omissions." Jun Ci did not intend to pursue the case and said very understandingly, "The governor is not to blame for this matter. Besides, the army of the Southern Dynasty has already arrived at the city. It is inevitable to attack Nanjun."
Please put some thought into it.
A few days ago, a large number of people fled here, which is really rare for you to be able to stabilize Nanjun City so quickly. I am not worried about what happened tonight, so please don't worry about it."
"The general has a big belly, and I have a lot of feelings for you." Sheriff Lu said with emotion on his face, "I heard that the assassin who assassinated the general is still absconding. Don't worry, general. I will definitely capture him and will never let him escape from Nanjun City.
.”
Jun Ci raised the corners of his lips slightly: "In this case, I will overwork you."
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's your duty as a subordinate." Governor Lu said humbly, "It's not safe here, not as good as a general..."
"It doesn't matter, I believe that even if there are still secrets in the city, they won't dare to come looking for me again." Jun Ci interrupted him, "It will be as usual for the expedition tomorrow, and Mr. Lu will also go back to his hometown to rest early. As for the assassination of the thief, please be patient.
Just check it out slowly."
"Your Majesty will send people to clean up, and then send others to guard the area. The general will have a good rest. I will do my best to deal with the traitor." Sheriff Lu resigned knowing the current situation.
As the person walked away, Jun Ci's eyes grew colder and colder, and finally became bone-chilling.
She moved to the room next door, fell into bed and fell asleep. She had no dreams all night and opened her eyes before dawn.
After she had sorted everything out, the county captain came to tell her that the troops and horses had been prepared and ready to go at any time.
Jun Ci did not delay. The county captain wanted to go with him, but Jun Ci did not stop him. The county guard watched Jun Ci gallop away with five thousand people from the city gate tower.
"Your Majesty, this girl is extraordinary. If General Zhou hadn't been carrying precious life-saving and antidote medicine, last night I'm afraid..." Chang Shi, who was standing next to Governor Lu, lowered his head and said, "General Zhou can't do anything these days."
Move forward and hand over the killing mission to the envoy. Shall we lead the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty in Jiangcheng to lend a helping hand?"
The method is very simple. When Jun Ci returns, don't open the city gate and let her fight hard and eventually die at the hands of the Southern Dynasty people.
Before the Central Guards arrived, it was not up to them to decide how Jun Ci died. With Zhou Guang sitting here, who would dare to reveal the truth?
Sheriff Lu put his hands on the city wall and looked at the large group of people who were nothing but a bunch of dust: "I'm afraid your plan won't work."
Chang Shi was puzzled, and Governor Lu didn't say much.
He always has a feeling that if you leave and go to Zhijiang City, you will probably never return to Nanjun again. Five thousand versus twenty thousand, you may not lose, right?
This woman is very scheming and her words to him are not leaking out at all, but on the contrary, he is led by the nose in every direction towards Jun Ci.
How could such a person let her lose the first battle here?
If so, how can she convince the public next?
Now that she has taken action, it means that she is absolutely sure of victory. When she gets Zhijiang City back, why should she return to Nanjun City?
The sun is high, and outside Zhijiang City, which has been occupied for several days, the people have just resumed normal entry and exit and are waiting for inspection at the city gate.
Suddenly, the soldiers on the watchtower saw bursts of smoke and dust as majestic as a cloud of sand, blowing in the wind at an extremely fast speed.
The trumpet of alert was blown immediately, the city gate was immediately closed, and the people who had not entered the city dispersed in a rush.
By the time Jun Ci tightened his reins and stopped under the city, all the archers on the city gate were already aiming at them. If they went further, they would be within shooting range.
Jun Ci glanced at the county lieutenant, who immediately drove his horse forward and shouted: "Zhijiang City is our territory of the Northern Dynasty. The territory cannot be divided. It is unjust for you to seize it by force. Today I am sending General Zhengdong to your Majesty.
, please accept the challenge!"
On the city tower, several generals from the Southern Dynasty were already wearing armor and standing above with weapons in hand. They were condescending and could clearly see Jun Ci.
"This commander is a bit narrow-minded," someone said.
The two dynasties have been fighting for a long time, and they have more or less fought against or heard about the generals of the Northern Dynasty.
"Not only is it unfamiliar, but it's also thin and tight." Someone sneered.
In fact, Jun Ci is not thin, but she is a woman, and her natural frame is not as broad as that of her husband. Moreover, the martial arts she practices does not only increase her physical strength, so she looks very slim and slim in front of these generals.
"Is there no general in the Northern Dynasty?" Someone else sneered, "Zhou Guang was beaten by the governor and disappeared, so he randomly sent a kid to frustrate us?
I'm going to meet him, but I have to capture her alive, take her back and sell her to a young man, and I can make a lot of money."
"Hahahahahaha..."
This man's words caused everyone to laugh.
At that moment, amid the cheers of the crowd, the general got off the tower, got on his horse, held his own sword, and ran out of the lowered city gate with a few people.
He reined in his horse twenty steps away from Jun Ci, and pointed his halberd at Jun Ci: "Young boy, no one in the Northern Dynasty can send you to fight. Grandpa wants you to know today that this is not the place for you.
It’s better to go home early and nestle into grandma’s arms, take a few more mouthfuls of milk, and come back stronger.”
His loud voice attracted a burst of unbridled ridicule from the generals of the Southern Dynasties.
Everyone behind Jun Ci looked angry. This anger was not only towards the Southern Dynasty generals, but also towards Jun Ci.
When they learned that the general was a girl, they were extremely disbelieving. They felt that the court was just making nonsense. This morning, when they saw Jun Ci himself at the city gate, their anger reached its peak. Not only was she a girl, but she was also such a young girl.
This is simply child's play!
If they weren't forced, they really wouldn't want to come here. Isn't this just to embarrass themselves? I don't know if they will be able to escape for a while.
Now the people on the other side only feel that Jun Ci is so humiliated because of his tender face. If they knew that Jun Ci was still a girl, I wonder what horrible things they would say!
Jun Ci's expression didn't change. She crossed her legs, took two steps forward, and said three words calmly: "Please enlighten me."
Calling for formation before a battle helps to boost morale. Many generals are vulgar men and can shout anything on the battlefield. It is also intended to disturb the morale of the opponent's troops and anger the enemy. However, Jun Ci does not like this custom and never uses it.
Whether you can boost morale depends on your true skills!
