Chapter 140 Successfully Recruiting the Private Soldiers of Longhu Mountain
However, it seemed as if there were a pair of eyes watching their every move in the dark...
By the time Chu Junze and the others returned to the camp, Yin Yi on the mountain had already changed his appearance, and the next step was to watch his performance.
Since no one here knows Jiang Hai's identity, the private soldiers here all think that the person they are loyal to is Wu Duo.
In fact, everything was a conspiracy of Jiang Hai alone. What he wanted was the entire Zhao Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Yin Yi came up with a plan in his mind.
The next morning, the easy-going Yin Yi came to the training ground, and everyone saluted him.
He pretended to ask about the training situation, and then began to reveal some information to them seemingly unintentionally.
Chu Junze was observing all this in secret. He believed that Yin Yi would be able to successfully deceive everyone and recruit them all as Zhaoguo's soldiers.
Taking advantage of the current situation where there is no leader, Yin Yi revealed the news and pretended to be profound and warned everyone not to spread it.
Afterwards, he wandered around the camp on the pretext of inspecting the people's sentiments, and Chu Junze quietly followed him to see if anyone would become suspicious.
When passing by a barracks, Yin Yi deliberately stopped to talk to a soldier.
Chu Junze hid in the distance, observing the reactions of the people around him. He saw that the other soldiers were focused on training and did not pay much attention to the movements here.
It seemed that no one doubted Yin Yi's identity for the time being, and Chu Junze secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Next, it would depend on whether he could successfully and completely control this army.
After Yinyi talked to the soldiers, he continued to patrol the camp as if nothing had happened.
Chu Junze hid in the dark and followed closely, thinking to himself: "This Yin Yi really has some tricks. He has deceived everyone's trust so easily. However, we still need to be careful to avoid revealing any flaws."
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the camp.
Yin Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw several soldiers confronting a group of strangers.
Yin Yi frowned slightly, stepped forward quickly and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier replied: "This group of people claimed to be villagers from a nearby village and came here to seek shelter."
Yin Yi looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and his heart was already filled with joy. He thought for a moment and then said, "Let them in."
After the villagers entered the camp, Yin Yi greeted them warmly and arranged accommodation for them.
Seeing this, Chu Junze smiled and turned away, ready to discuss the next plan with Yin Yi. However, he did not notice that a cold gaze was staring at him from the depths of the dense forest.
After nightfall, when the time came, Chu Junze appeared at the place they had agreed on and waited for his arrival.
In order to return to the palace as soon as possible, the two of them huddled together to discuss countermeasures.
So in the following days, Yin Yi began to tell the group of soldiers various stories that he had heard.
Seeing that Wu Duo had not shown up, the soldiers immediately thought of what Jiang Hai had said recently.
They realized that their master might have died long ago, but they were still standing in these desolate mountains and wilderness, feeling the northwest wind and waiting for an unknown future.
Everyone felt bad for a while, and Yin Yi took the opportunity to fan the flames and said, "According to the news I received, it is certain that Wu Duo is indeed dead."
Everyone was stunned when he said this. They had followed him to conquer the world because their families could not afford food.
Now that the leaders are dead, why are they still here? Especially since they know that what they are doing now is completely treason, which is enough to kill all nine generations of their clan!
Everyone looked at each other and began to whisper.
"Then what should we do now?"
"We're going to die anyway, so why don't we surrender to the imperial court?"
Yin Yi was secretly delighted when he saw this. He continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "I heard that the current emperor is a benevolent monarch. If we surrender now, we may be able to save our lives."
At this time, several soldiers stood up and expressed their willingness to surrender with Yin Yi. Seeing this, others also expressed their agreement.
So Yin Yi led this group of soldiers down the mountain and set out on the journey back to Beijing.
Along the way, they were somewhat dejected and even a little scared. Fortunately, they finally arrived at the capital smoothly and surrendered to the court.
When Chu Junze learned about this, his face was full of smiles.
He didn't expect that the rebels would surrender so easily so soon.
After interrogation, Chu Junze found that these soldiers were forced to participate in the rebellion. In the end, he decided to pardon their crimes and grant them some land so that they could live and work in peace.
Those who do not want to return to the countryside to farm can also go to the camp outside Beijing to rejoin the army.
After successfully handling this matter, Chu Junze finally felt at ease.
When he returned to Yaoguang Palace, he excitedly held Su Qianqian's hand and said, "Finally, the dust has settled, and these rebels have now been properly arranged."
Su Qianqian understood what he meant, "Thank you for your hard work, my husband." Su Qianqian looked at him gently, her eyes full of affection.
Chu Junze gently stroked her cheek, "I'm not tired, as long as the people of Dazhao can be free from the suffering of war, then everything is worth it!"
The two sat hugging each other, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
However, they both knew that the struggle was not really over and there were definitely many hidden dangers waiting for them.
"Next, we have to be more careful." Chu Junze said.
Su Qianqian nodded, "I will always be by your side and support every decision you make."
Their eyes met, full of trust and determination.
In this turbulent court, they will work hand in hand to face the challenges of the future together.
While the two of them were still immersed in their thoughts, the three little babies suddenly started babbling, as if they had agreed beforehand.
Chu Junze and Su Qianqian looked at each other helplessly, then resigned themselves to their fate and hugged them.
The three little ones are now almost one year old. When Chu Junze and Su Qianqian hold them, their faces are filled with happy smiles.
Looking at the cute appearance of the little ones, their hearts were filled with warmth.
"Your Majesty, you see, Dabao seems to be very interested in the jade ring in your hand." Su Qianqian said with a smile.
Chu Junze looked down and saw Dabao's chubby little hand holding his jade ring tightly.
"This kid is drooling." Chu Junze laughed.
At this time, Erbao was not to be outdone, he reached out and grabbed Su Qianqian's hair. Su Qianqian cried out in pain, but she was reluctant to push the child away.
"You guys are so naughty." Chu Junze shook his head, but his eyes were full of pampering.
At this moment, the palace maid brought in the carefully prepared cakes. Chu Junze and Su Qianqian fed the child together, and the scene was warm and cozy for a while.
"I hope our children can grow up healthily and stay away from palace disputes." Su Qianqian said softly.
Chu Junze held her hand tightly, "Don't worry, I will protect the Great Zhao Kingdom, our home, and you and your children."
