Chapter 919 - 817: Let him personally teach you how to lead troops in battle
When Ji Youyuan spoke, both Mu Yulin and General Huo couldn’t help but look at him, asking with confusion."What news has Sect Leader Ji brought us?"
Ji Youyuan did not act mysteriously and straightforwardly said, "On the way here with the Princess, I encountered Grand General Xu who was coming to reinforce us. Judging by the timing, the fifty thousand troops under his command should arrive in three to five days."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yulin and General Huo couldn’t help but become excited.
"Is Sect Leader Ji’s word true? Is Grand General Xu really bringing fifty thousand troops to reinforce Xianyu Pass?"
Their eyes were fixated on Ji Youyuan, flames of excitement blazing within them, as if it could burn a hole through him.
Ji Youyuan nodded affirmatively, then saw Ji Youze come in carrying the little girl.
As soon as the little girl came in, she waited to hop down from Ji Youze’s arms on her short legs.
She casually sat down at a random spot and reached out to grab a chicken leg!
"Ahem! What about the Princess’s manners and etiquette?"
Ji Youyuan coughed slightly, reminding her.
Suisui nonchalantly waved her hand, pouting with grievance.
"Uncle, could you not be like Nanny Zhang, always talking about manners and etiquette all the time?
I’m really hungry!"
Seeing the chubby and rosy-cheeked Princess making such a pitiful face as if tears were about to fall from her eyes, Mu Yulin and General Huo quickly said.
"It’s fine, it’s fine, the Princess is young and doesn’t need to be so bound by rules. Sect Leader Ji, don’t be too harsh on her."
"I..."
Ji Youyuan was frustrated. This girl couldn’t be taught, perhaps he should just play dumb in the future!
Compared to Ji Youyuan, Ji Youze was more carefree.
He didn’t insist on strict manners and etiquette for the little girl, instead encouraging her with a smile, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, have some soup to help it go down!"
While preparing a meal, everyone watched Ji Youze pamper the Princess as she ate, to the point that General Huo and the others who intended to discuss state affairs over dinner found no opportunity, and Ji Youze left carrying a content and full Suisui.
The deep night was silent.
Suisui had fallen asleep, and Ji Youyuan finally found the opportunity to speak privately with Ji Youze.
"Is your injury a hindrance?"
"It’s just a minor injury, I took quite a bit of healing medicine from Second Brother before I left, it’s very effective!"
"If we hold Xianyu Pass, we’ll have to prepare to reclaim the three cities of Mu Zi, Holland, and Ku He. You... should be confident, right?"
Ji Youyuan initially wanted to directly ask Ji Youze if he was confident, but halfway through, he changed his tone.
Ji Youze looked at Ji Youyuan with a surprised expression on hearing this.
"Why is Big Brother asking me?
I’m not the general commanding troops in battle, shouldn’t you be asking General Mu and the others for such matters?"
Ji Youyuan just...
Kept up the act!
Since childhood, he loved hearing storytellers speak of the illustrious achievements of the God of War, Ji Shang.
He’d also immersed himself in the study, researching the military notes left by their father back then.
Reviewed every battle fought by the old father repeatedly.
If he wasn’t utterly passionate about leading troops into battle, he surely held immense admiration for his father.
Ji Youyuan didn’t expose him, instead saying quietly.
"So you don’t want to handle this matter, huh?
What a pity, I traveled this far with Suisui thinking that if you faltered on the battlefield, I could have Suisui draw you and him into the Dream Realm to have him personally teach you how to lead troops in warfare!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Youze’s eyes widened abruptly!
