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 harder to regret in front of Jiang Yi.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhaocheng 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 Zhaocheng: "..." He, the king of a country, was rejected.

"Three thousand young men are not easy to choose." Jiang Yi frowned slightly and looked at Yan Li with some embarrassment, "There are many, and the requirements are elite, it will take a certain amount of time, it is better to issue an order to recruit soldiers directly, which will be faster."

Although this will inevitably mobilize a large number of troops, since they are private soldiers, they must be trained well so that they are only loyal to Yan Li.

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.

She could choose some from the people brought by Rong Xiao, and some from Mu Cang's subordinates.

These people have a martial arts foundation and are agile. They will play a big role after following her to Jin State.

Yan Li didn't know how long she would stay in Jin State, but since she chose to go, she naturally couldn't go there in vain. She wouldn't make wedding clothes for anyone.

She had to make sure that Jin State would still be under her control after losing the identity of "Yan Li".

So choosing the people brought by Rong Xiao was the first choice.

With her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Yan Li said calmly: "I will go back and discuss this matter with Mu Cang. There is no rush for the time being."

"Okay." Emperor Zhaocheng 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 Zhaocheng hesitated: "This is not good."

"Nothing wrong." Mu Cang obviously agreed with Yan Li's idea, "She can't live in so many places by herself. The betrothal gifts she gave before were all in the other courtyard, which was originally her private residence."

Emperor Zhaocheng looked at Yan Li, then at Mu Cang, and hesitated for a moment.

Young people nowadays have their own ideas. He couldn't control Mu Cang, and he still couldn't control Yan Li.

It just so happened that two people who couldn't be controlled became a couple.

Emperor Zhaocheng beat and scolded his sons and daughters whenever he wanted, but for these two people... not only could he not beat or scold them, but he had to find a way to coax them.

Tsk, it's really difficult for the emperor.

"Okay, I can't control your affairs, and I'm too lazy to control them." Emperor Zhaocheng waved his hand, "Go back."

Mu Cang and Yan Li were about to leave.

"Wait." Emperor Zhaocheng didn't know what he thought of, and stopped the two again, "There's one more thing I want to ask you."

Mu Cang looked at him silently.

Emperor Zhaocheng 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 planned for a long time.

Mu Cang and Yan Li looked at each other in silence, and the brief silence seemed to stretch the time countless times.

In just a moment, Mu Cang had several thoughts in his mind, but finally nodded slowly: "Yes."

Emperor Zhaocheng breathed a sigh of relief, his voice steady: "I believe in your promise."

Mu Cang hummed, and turned to leave with Yan Li.

Walking out of the imperial study, facing the boundless blue sky.

Yan Li narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "I want to pick people from the elites brought by Rong Xiao. Their identities probably need your trouble to arrange."

Mu Cang nodded: "It's enough to select one thousand people from Rong Xiao's command, and I will pick another thousand."

Yan Li tilted her 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 Southern Kingdom to listen to your dispatch, and my people to assist you, you can go to Jin like a fish in water and integrate into the center as soon as possible."

Yan Li didn't speak, looking into the distance.

If Mu State is the place where she temporarily stays after her soul falls, then Jin State will be the first journey to achieve her goal.

Mu Cang has the northern border, so she might as well start from Jin State.

The two walked out of the palace gate and glimpsed four familiar figures from afar, as if they 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'm just making an analogy."

The people who just left the palace did have sad faces and looked lifeless. Even if their parents had not died, 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 gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The status of the queen is noble and precious, and every move of the queen has a great impact on the Jin State. There can be no mistakes. If it were not for my sister, we would not let the queen come here in person to take risks."

The queen and the four princes visited other countries together, which has never happened in the entire history of the Jin State.

With the influence of Queen Jiang in the Jin State now, if there is any accident.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 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 four princes.

"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?"

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 into the carriage.

I thought Yan Chen and the other four would go to the palace to look for Jiang Yi, but when I lifted the curtain, I found that they had followed me and climbed onto their respective mounts, following the carriage like escorts.

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, and it is our honor to escort her."

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 handsome men. I heard that their emperor is particularly good-looking, and several princes are also beautiful. The most important thing is that they are all docile and obedient. If we can get a prince from Zhaoguo to be my sister's consort, it will definitely be much better than the prince of Muguo."
