Chapter 239 Great minds think alike
The king’s word is as good as gold, and he cannot go back on his word, and it is even worse to regret it in front of Jiang Yi.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhao asked: "Do you need me to issue an order to recruit soldiers so that you can choose carefully?"
"No need." Yan Li shook his head and refused, "Mu Cang and I will solve this matter ourselves."
Emperor Zhao: "..." He, the king of a country, was rejected.
"It is not easy to choose thousands of young men." Jiang Yi frowned slightly and looked at Yan Li with some embarrassment, "There are many people, and it will take a certain amount of time to select them. It is better to issue an order to recruit soldiers directly and it will be faster."
Although this will inevitably mobilize a large number of troops, since they are private soldiers, they must be trained well to make them loyal to Yan Li alone.
Yan Li remained silent. If she really issued an order to recruit soldiers and select people, and then trained them, it would take a long time.
She didn't have so much time to waste on training private soldiers.
Some people can be selected from the people brought by Rong Xiao, and some people can also be selected from Mu Cang's subordinates.
These people have a good foundation in martial arts and are agile. After following her to Jin State, they will be of great use.
Yan Li doesn't know how long she will stay in Jin State, but since she has chosen to go, she can't go there in vain. She won't make wedding clothes for anyone.
She has to make sure that after losing the identity of "Yan Li", Jin State is still under her control.
So choosing the people brought by Rong Xiao is the first choice.
With eyebrows slightly furrowed, Yan Li said calmly: "I will discuss this matter with Mu Cang when I go back. There is no rush for the time being."
"Okay." Emperor Zhao nodded, "Do you want the Princess's Mansion to be closer to the Ninth Prince's Mansion?"
Yan Li said: "The other courtyard that Mu Cang bought for me before can be used as the Princess's Mansion, just change the plaque."
Emperor Zhao hesitated: "This is not a good idea."
"Nothing wrong." Mu Cang obviously also praised Yan Li's idea, "She can't live in so many places by herself. The betrothal gifts before are all in the other courtyard. It turns out that it is her private residence."
Emperor Zhao looked at Yan Li, then at Mu Cang, and hesitated for a moment.
Young people nowadays have their own ideas. He can't control Mu Cang, and he still can't control Yan Li.
It just so happens that two people who can't control become husband and wife.
Emperor Zhao wanted to beat and scold his own children, but for these two people... not only could he not beat or scold them, but he had to find ways to coax them.
Tsk, it was really difficult for the emperor.
"Okay, I can't control your affairs, and I'm too lazy to control them." Emperor Zhao waved his hand, "Go back."
Mu Cang and Yan Li were leaving.
"Wait." Emperor Zhao didn't know what he thought of, and called the two of them again, "There is one more thing I want to ask you."
Mu Cang looked at him silently.
Emperor Zhao looked directly at Mu Cang, his expression solemn and serious, as if he was deciding something important: "Mu Cang, if I decide to make King Jing the crown prince, will you be willing to assist him?"
This question seemed a bit abrupt, and it seemed to be premeditated.
Mu Cang and Yan Li looked at each other in silence, and the brief silence seemed to stretch the time countless times.
In a moment, Mu Cang had several thoughts in his mind, but finally nodded slowly: "Yes."
Emperor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and said in a steady voice: "I believe in your promise."
Mu Cang hummed, and turned around and left with Yan Li.
Walking out of the imperial study, we were greeted by the endless blue sky.
Yan Li narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I want to select people from the elites brought by Rong Xiao. Their identities may still require your arrangement."
Mu Cang nodded: "It is enough to select one thousand people from Rong Xiao's command, and another one thousand from the king."
Yan Li tilted his head to look at him: "What about the remaining one thousand people?"
"Jiang Yi."
Yan Li raised a curve at the corner of his mouth: "Heroes think alike."
Mu Cang raised the corner of his mouth: "With Jiang Yi's people to help you, the elites of the South Kingdom to listen to your orders, and the people of the king to assist you, you can go to Jin Kingdom like a fish in water and integrate into the center as soon as possible."
Yan Li did not speak, looking into the distance.
If Mu Kingdom is the place where she temporarily stays after her soul falls, then Jin Kingdom will be her first journey to achieve her goal.
Mu Cang has the northern border, so she should start from Jin Kingdom.
The two walked out of the palace gate and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from a distance, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Sister!" Yan Chen came quickly, with obvious concern and worry on his face, "Has anyone bullied you?"
Yan Li said in a light tone: "With the emperor and the ninth prince here, who dares to bully me?"
Yan Yun smiled and said: "Sister, are you particularly majestic today? I just saw those people who left the palace all looked dejected, as if their parents had just died-"
"Yan Yun." Yan Chen frowned and stopped him from speaking without restraint in time, "Be careful when you speak, don't curse people for no reason."
Yan Yun choked: "I was just making an analogy."
The people who just left the palace did have sad faces and looked lifeless. Even if their parents didn't die, their situation was probably not much better.
"Sister." Yan Jin smiled at Yan Li, his smile was gentle and elegant, making people feel like spring breeze, "Yan Yun is young and ignorant, don't bother with him." Tianlai Novel Network
Yan Li asked: "How many people did you bring with you this time?"
Yan Chen frowned: "Why are you asking this?"
Yan Li said calmly: "Can't ask?"
"Of course not." Yan Chen shook his head quickly, "Five thousand people."
"Are they all elite?"
"Yes." Yan Chen nodded, "As the saying goes, a king should not stand under a dangerous wall. My mother is of noble status, and her every move has a great impact on Jin State, so there can be no mistakes. If it weren't for my sister, we would not have let my mother come here in person to take risks."
It has never happened in the entire history of Jin State that the queen and the second emperor visited other countries together.
With the influence of Queen Jiang in Jin State now, if something unexpected happened.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jin State will fall into chaos in an instant.
Therefore, the escort must be a carefully selected elite to ensure the safety of the queen and the second emperor.
"Why did my sister suddenly ask this?" Yan Yun said this, and his suspicious eyes fell on Mu Cang's face, "Isn't it that the Ninth Prince is planning something that he can't tell anyone?"
Mu Cang probably thought that his question was too stupid and childish, and he didn't even look at him, and walked towards the carriage with Yan Li's hand.
Yan Li stepped onto the carriage and bowed to walk into the carriage.
Originally thought that Yan Chen and his men would go to the palace to look for Jiang Yi, but unexpectedly, when the curtain was lifted, they followed them and turned over to their respective mounts, following the carriage like a messenger to protect the emperor.
Yan Li's mouth twitched, "Are you going to the Ninth Prince's Mansion?"
"We are escorting my sister." Yan Yun said, "My sister is our treasure in our hands, and it is our honor to escort my sister."
Yan Li's expression was subtle for a moment, and he simply lowered the curtain and leaned against the carriage to close his eyes and rest.
"My sister." Yan Yun rode on the right side, "Zhaoguo is rich in beautiful men. I heard that their emperor is very good-looking, and several emperors are also beautiful. The most important thing is that they are all docile and obedient. If we can get one of the emperors of Zhaoguo to be my sister's consort, it will definitely be much better than the prince of Muguo."
