After that, they were safe and sound all the way. When the group returned to Linjiang City, they surprised everyone stationed in Linjiang City. Now Yu Fanzhou was still entangled with Takqin with the Shenyou Army. Huan Yu and Wanfeng returned to Pingjing, and Zhao Bo'an was the only one left in Linjiang City. Although Zhao Bo'an came from a famous family and had a low grade, he was still a little nervous when he was stationed in Linjiang City with such a group of soldiers.

Not to mention anything else, the composition of the troops in Linjiang City is really complicated and hard to describe. There are the Heavenly Revelation Imperial Army, the Divine Blessing Army, and a small number of Jingbei Army, and some surrendered Southern Army, as well as the Apocalypse Water Army and the people under the command of the Water Dragon King. In such a complex situation, if the people of the Clan will fight back, let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness, Zhao Boan doubts whether his own people will fight first.

Although he really wants to lead troops to make achievements, he can't test his abilities like this as soon as he comes up, right?

"Princess!" Seeing Chu Ling, Zhao Boan seemed particularly excited, which attracted everyone around Chu Ling to look suspiciously and alertly at him. Zhao Boan also found that he had lost his composure and hurriedly stopped and withdrew his excited expression.

"Sister Ah Ling!"

"Shengsheng!"

Two crisp female voices followed, and Xiao Yan'er and Yaduo also greeted each other happily. Chu Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Why are you all here?" Yaduo smiled and said, "Don't Shengsheng want to see me?" Chu Ling shook her head and smiled, "Of course not. Now it's very messy outside, and it's very dangerous to walk around."

Yaduo smiled and said, "I know, so I'm just here to defect to Shengsheng?"

Xiao Yan'er also happily took Chu Ling's arm and said, "Sister A Ling ran around by himself, so he was sure to throw it here and asked why he was here?" Chu Ling reluctantly admitted his mistakes, and Xiao Yan'er was satisfied. Her eyes swept over the group of people following Chu Ling, and Xiao Yan'er said in surprise: "Mingxuan? And... why are they all girls? Sister A Ling, where did you kidnap so many beautiful girls?"

Chu Ling said angrily: "What is kidnapping? They will also follow us in the future. General Zhao, please find someone to let everyone settle down first." Zhao Boan hurriedly said yes, while asking everyone to go to the city to rest.

The girls were a little tired all the way, so they followed the people sent by Zhao Bo'an to rest, leaving Mingxuan and them to enter the hall of the General's Mansion. Xiao Yan'er and Yaduo also went to help arrange the girls. There were only Zhao Bo'an, Chu Ling and others in the hall, and it became much quieter.

Everyone sat down and drank a sip of tea. Chu Ling said, "Thank you for your hard work these days, is General Zhao the only one here?" Zhao Bo'an nodded and said, "Although the Runzhou naval army has been dispersed, Lingcang River is connected after all. General Lu has been stationed by the river these days just in case."

Chu Ling said, "Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Bo'an shook his head and said, "How can you compare to the princess? I have heard about Cangyun City. Fortunately, the princess and Lord Yan stopped Tuoba Yin. Otherwise, if Cangyun City is destroyed, it will be a huge trouble for us." If Cangyun City is captured by the Clan people, the next goal is naturally to defeat the Clan garrison and seize Linjiang City.

Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say that the existence of Cangyun City is actually a natural and huge backer for them. Because of Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan, this backer is not only big but also very stable.

Chu Ling sighed lightly and said, "Why is it the result of two people who can defend Cangyun City? It's a pity... General Xie, General Xie, has devoted his life to the Tianqi war, and has devoted himself to his death, but he never had the chance to see the sight of expelling the people of the Clan from the Central Plains." Hearing this, Zhao Bo'an was also silent. People of their age naturally knew Xie Tingze. But counting that he and General Xie had not met for nearly twenty years. The young men who were still ignorant at that time looked up at General Xie as if they were looking up at heroes. Now twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, but the former hero has returned to the loess.

"Princess, don't worry, one day we will be able to take off Baili Qinghong's head on the neck to comfort the old general's spirit in heaven!" Zhao Bo'an said in a deep voice.

Chu Ling nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, what's going on in Linjiang City these days?"

Zhao Bo'an hurriedly said, "As the princess' orders, the generals and others have already checked the Runzhou naval army and the surrendered southern army at the end of the days. They have no bad record and are willing to surrender and re-split them into the Apocalypse Imperial Army and the Navy. All those who are unwilling to surrender are filled with labor. The serious evil is serious, and those who are extremely guilty are killed and displayed, and the rest are all hard labor. In this way, the imperial army and the navy have added about five or six thousand people. Although it is not enough to fill the losses of the previous war, it can make up for one or two."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "Are those people still at peace?"

Zhao Bo'an nodded and said, "Princess, don't worry, I will ask the people below to carefully check it out. Most of the soldiers at the bottom are willing to surrender, and they are not well treated in the Northern Jin Dynasty. Even if there is anything, they are not their turn. There are many soldiers in the middle and upper class who are hesitant, and many of these people are full of blood debts and can only use one or two." Chu Ling lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then said lightly: "It's good that this is good, can the army get along well together?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bo'an's expression was a little helpless. It was a good thing when he was fighting before, and everyone knew that he had to work together, but after the war, especially after the princess left, troubles gradually began to appear. The main contradiction was the Apocalypse Imperial Army, the Shenyou Army and the Jingbei Army.

Nowadays, the most imperial guards are, and the strongest combat power of the Shenyou Army, but the Jingbei Army was the first to follow the princess. Although they already knew that the Shenyou Princess and General Ling were the same person, the soldiers below did not know. At first, there were only some minor frictions, and later they even developed into a group fight. Zhao Bo'an was originally the general of the imperial guards, but now he has to command the Shenyou Army and the Jingbei Army at the same time. So the situation in Linjiang City is that the imperial guards and the Shenyou Army dislike each other, the imperial guards and the Shenyou Army look down on the Jingbei Army together, and the Shenyou Army and the Jingbei Army are hostile to the Imperial Guards. Or the Jingbei Army and the Imperial Guards look down on the Shenyou Army together are all a group of wealthy young men and young men.

In this way, there were also the navy troops by the Lingcang River waiting to see the joke. Fortunately, General Lu controlled the navy very well and did not participate in this melee. In less than a month, Zhao Bo'an felt that he was ten years old and had two of the same heads as before.

Just looking at Zhao Bo'an's expression, Chu Ling knew what was going on. He held back his smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Zhao." Zhao Bo'an couldn't be polite to her and sighed, "It's good that the princess is back." His princess is back, so he doesn't have to have a headache for these messy things. He just needs to take care of his imperial guards.

Chu Ling said: "I will deal with this matter, General Zhao doesn't have to worry. What news does Pingjing have?"

Zhao Bo'an looked slightly calm, and glanced at Ming Xuan sitting aside and listening seriously. Chu Ling signaled him not to care. Zhao Bo'an whispered: "Two days ago, Pingjing came to the Privy Council's document and stamped the seal of the Privy Council." Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "What did you say?"

Zhao Bo'an said: "I said I was asking the princess to withdraw troops back to Pingjing immediately. The last general refused on the grounds that the princess was not in the army. However, the person who sent the message was still waiting in the city, saying that he would wait until the princess came back."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiao Shi and asked, "The document of the Privy Council? Isn't an imperial edict?"

Zhao Bo'an shook his head and said, "It's not an imperial edict, but the other party's attitude is very tough. He said that if the princess and the imperial guards disrespect the orders of the Privy Council, his Majesty will soon issue an edict to punish the princess. The Privy Council acted like this just to care about the father-daughter relationship between His Majesty and the princess."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng also frowned slightly. After Zhao Bo'an finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Although the Privy Council is in charge of the tiger talisman, if you want to dispatch troops, your Majesty must allow you. The princess already has the Privy Council's order talisman in her hand, and now it is too much to ask the princess to withdraw her troops with a document." Although it is unknown how much his Majesty allows it is his own intention, even if he goes through the formalities, he will have to go through the formalities. If he doesn't go through the formalities, the Privy Council's behavior will be beyond the limit. Lord Zhu is an old fox, and even if he really changes his mind, he will not be able to make such a mistake.

Chu Ling knocked on the table a few times and asked, "Who is the person who came to send the message?"

Zhao Bo'an said: "Prince Secretariat's Deputy Order Kong Xiao."

Chu Ling blinked and didn't say anything.

Xiao Feng said with an excuse: "The princess may not know this person. This person is also from a scholarly family, but the Kong family has long been in a downturn. Although this person is considered a disciple of Lord Zhu, he is not loved by Lord Zhu. I have nothing outstanding in spending these years in the Privy Council."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There is no outstanding person who can make General Xiao remember it?" Zhao Boan was also a little surprised. Not to mention the princess, he didn't know such a person. The people sent back to Pingjing to investigate the news came back, so he didn't know much about this person.

Xiao Feng said in a deep voice: "The reason why I know this person has little to do with this person himself, but... Kong Xiao's wife is the concubine of Prince Nankang. A few years ago, His Majesty sent me to investigate Prince Nankang, so he learned something."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Nankang County Prince...Chu Yu?" There are too few people in the Tianqi Royal Family and their sense of existence is too weak, so it is not because Chu Ling is not familiar with it. For example, except for the Prince of Boning, the only few remaining Qi Royal Family have escaped the disaster in their early years. Even so, everyone is probably not as good as some large families with lush branches and leaves.

Moreover, these royal relatives are actually quite far from blood relationship with Emperor Yongjia. They usually stay in their fiefdoms and cannot leave. They only come to Beijing to pay homage during festivals. It is said that the prince of Nankang is not in good health. Emperor Yongjia avoided his congratulations and always asked his son to meet him on his behalf. Chu Ling had never seen him once in three years after returning to Tianqi.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "When I just moved south, the clans in the south were a little disobedient. Your Majesty was not very relieved, so I asked someone to check it out. I just don't know if the powerful genes of the Tianqi Royal Family were occupied by Chu Lie. There were ambitious people in the clan, but almost no one had the ability. After all, Emperor Yongjia was a legitimate emperor, and he also led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south. It was enough to defeat the people of the Clan to shock these vassal kings who were held in fiefdoms. So it gradually became quiet before the troubles took place, and Emperor Yongjia didn't care much.

"What kind of person is this Zhao Xu?"

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "The wolf looks like this."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh?"

Xiao Shi lowered his eyes and said, "This man is very cautious. He was the first person to obey His Majesty. It is said that he is not healthy and gets sick every few days. But..." Xiao Shi shook his head and did not speak. Chu Ling said, "Don't Father believe you?" Xiao Shi nodded, not caring much. After all, he was still young at that time, and Prince Nankang did not leak out. It was normal for Prince Nankang to believe it. Sometimes he would doubt whether he was too suspicious. After all, Prince Nankang has been peaceful for so many years.

Yun Xingyue rolled her eyes impatiently and said, "I'm talking about two people. Now I'm talking about the documents of the Privy Council. What are you talking about that Prince Nankang for?"

Chu Ling smiled and shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just started talking about it and said a few more words. That... where is Kong Xiao? Let me talk about it when I see him."

Zhao Bo'an nodded and said, "The princess has just returned, so why not take a break before letting him come to see her?"

Chu Ling pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

After coming out of the hall, Chu Ling walked all the way to the backyard, but his brows became more and more deeply locked. Yun Xingyue followed her and couldn't help asking, "What are your princess thinking?"

Chu Ling asked, "Have Huan Yu sent a message?"

Yun Xingyue was stunned and said, "It seems that there is no one? Have you been sent to Cangyun City?"

Chu Ling shook his head and said, "No, Huan Yu is careful. If we cannot determine our location, if there is anything, Cangyun City, Linjiang City, and even Yu Fanzhou will give each one." Yun Xingyue said, "Since there is not, it doesn't mean that nothing is wrong?"

Chu Ling glanced at him and asked, "Do you think it's okay for the Privy Council to ask me to withdraw my troops? Although there is no imperial edict from my father, the Privy Council dares to go directly to us by passing the father's orders, at least it proves that the current situation in Pingjing is not enough to control the father and uncle. Therefore, the people in the Privy Council are not worried about the father's crime afterwards."

Yun Xingyue rolled her eyes and said with a headache: "Your Highness Princess, to be honest, your father is really a little..." She was too cowardly. An emperor was forced by a court official to achieve nothing for decades. Of course, Emperor Yongjia himself was not an ambitious emperor, which is one of the reasons.

Chu Ling shook his head and smiled, "The Tianqi court is intricate, and no one can get it. Chu Lie was strong enough back then? What's the result?" If someone hadn't stabbed Chu Lie in the back, Chu Lie might not have been defeated so quickly. Is this really an emperor who was undermined by Chu Lie for more than ten years and had no real power? Emperor Yongjia understood what kind of terrible power these people could burst out, so he would inevitably become weak when facing court officials.

These civil officials from aristocratic families all said they were loyal to the emperor and patriotism on the surface, but when they really violated their interests, they really didn't mind changing to another emperor.

"What should I do?" Yun Xingyue asked with a frown.

Chu Ling said: "So we didn't expect them to be able to pry Zhao Bo'an and General Lu from the Privy Council, which would be a profit. Anyway, I don't plan to return these troops to them." Zhao Bo'an and General Lu were both carefully selected and determined that they would not be constrained by the civil servants, and that they really wanted to make achievements and recover the northern land. Since they brought the people out of Lord Zhu, she did not plan to return them. As for the documents of the Privy Council, even if the imperial edict was really arrived, she would not pay attention to it.

"What about the future? You will face them sooner or later. Unless you plan to treason." Yun Xingyue frowned.

Chu Ling looked at him and smiled, "I didn't expect that Mr. Yun would be so far-scheming. When I get full in the future, if they provoke me again, I will lead troops back and destroy them all. Or... ask Jun Wuhuan if he is interested in being an emperor or having fun."

Yun Xingyue was speechless, "What is it that you are the emperor? Still having fun? In addition, I advise you not to play like this. Jun Wuhuan is not interested in this, and his body probably won't allow him to be interested. Jun Wuhuan's best ending is that my father can find a way to cure him, kill the people of the Clan within three to five years and then quickly find a place to recuperate. Maybe he has the chance to live until his seventies and eighties."

Thinking of Jun Wuhuan's body, Chu Ling couldn't help but sigh and said, "This world is so strange. Healthy people are just drunk and dreaming, but they insist that those who are not healthy and cannot hold their lives in their hands take responsibility."

Yun Xingyue sneered, "Isn't this asking for help? No one forced him." If Jun Wuhuan didn't want so much, hiding in the deep mountains and forests to cultivate one's own character, who could force him to trek into this muddy water? So, Mr. Yun didn't feel sympathy for Jun at all.
