After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

With Chu Jiang's words as a subtle reminder, Qi Minsong glanced at the soldiers who were ready to make a move, with a warning look in his eyes.

He had no doubt about the truthfulness of Chu Jiang's words, because he definitely had the ability to do it!

Chu Xi and Tang Yuhuai led several hundred people out of the city to receive the things. Receiving so much food, ten thousand taels of gold, and war horses was a huge income for them.

In front of Qi Minsong and his party, Chu Jiang and Tang Yuhuai and hundreds of people marched into the Xi'an city gate with the spoils, and then the city gate was closed.

Qi Jianshu, Qi Minsong and others couldn't help but hold the reins tightly, their eyes were equally cold, and then they glanced at the fifth prince's cousin.

If looks could kill, this man would have been killed countless times by them, cut into pieces, or tortured to death!

Tang Yuhuai touched the warhorse sent by Xichu, raised his eyes and said to Chuxi, "If it were me, I would rather commit suicide than let you give so many things in exchange for me!"

"Don't say such unlucky words."

Chu Xi paused after speaking, and continued, "If that day comes, I will save you even if it means risking everything I have."

She could probably still understand why the Fifth Prince was willing to redeem his cousin.

If that day really comes, she will definitely bring Tang Yuhuai back.

Tang Yuhuai looked flattered. "No way, you said it so confidently. I am so moved!"

"Don't worry, if that person was you, I would do my best to save you."

Chu Xi, "......"

She couldn't help laughing when she thought of those slogans shouted in later generations that eventually came true.

"Forget it, let's just pray that day won't come to either of us."

Tang Yuhuai didn't see what Chu Xi was thinking, but when he saw him smile, he couldn't help but smile too.

An hour later, fighting broke out again in Xi'an City.

With more than 100,000 soldiers all attacking the South Gate, the speed was too slow. Qi Minsong immediately divided his troops into three groups and attacked the East and West gates respectively.

Ximen sent Qi Jianshu and two experienced deputy generals.

While he was still considering the candidate for the East Gate, the fifth prince's cousin came to meddle again. He knew that he had lost face at the South Gate and had no face to stay there for the time being.

So, he said that he would take charge of the East Gate and led 50,000 soldiers to attack it.

Qi Minsong: "..." Can someone come and throw this idiot out?

There was no way. No one could afford to offend him. Even if he lost face, it was because the Fifth Prince was standing behind him.

No matter how big a disaster he gets into, the Fifth Prince will always cover for him!

For the sake of the Fifth Prince, no one dared to refute his words, and the East Gate Attack Commander handed the selection to him.

Qi Minsong could only comfort himself that at least he had sent the person away, and he would go and negotiate with Xiao Yang Taiyuan later.

Take over Xi'an as soon as possible, and then find a way to transfer him away from your sight.

That way, he wouldn't have to work with a moron anymore.

The war had not yet subsided, and the news that the fifth prince's cousin was defeated and captured before the war, which also caused the war to be delayed, and a lot of things had to be exchanged to barely get him back spread quickly.

There was no good news from the war at the front yet, but such news came. One can imagine how bad the mood of the King of Western Chu was.

At the beginning, the Fifth Prince strongly supported this candidate and vowed that his cousin had practiced martial arts and learned the long sword that the people of the Great Zhou were good at using, so he might be able to surprise the enemy!

"This is what you call an unexpected attack! It was really an unexpected attack. He was captured alive right after he came here, and he had to be exchanged for food, gold, and war horses. This is really a glory for me and Western Chu!"

The King of Western Chu was extremely angry. He was so angry that he didn't care that he was in a court meeting and there were dozens of courtiers in the hall.

In front of everyone, he threw the memorial hard at the Fifth Prince's face.

If the Fifth Prince's cousin had brought shame to Western Chu during the war, then the Fifth Prince had brought shame to the court. This memorial slapped him in the face...

It's like being slapped in the face in public!

The King of Western Chu didn't care about his son's face. He only knew that the reputation of Western Chu and the royal family had been ruined by a fool!

In anger, he picked up a few more memorials and threw them all at the Fifth Prince's body and face without thinking.

While smashing it, he angrily shouted, "This is the candidate you strongly recommended. It really makes Xi Chu proud!"

If the Fifth Prince had not insisted on ensuring that his cousin became the commander-in-chief, Your Majesty would not be so angry!

Less than two days after the reinforcements arrived, the commander-in-chief was captured alive by the enemy on the battlefield. In order to exchange for such a fool, they spent so much money and food. What about war horses?

If Your Majesty didn't take Lao Wu's face into consideration, you would have wanted to scold him directly. Is that idiot worth so many things in exchange?

It’s easier to die!

No matter what, the Fifth Prince knew that he was in the wrong now, and no matter how he explained, it would not appease his father, but would only make him more angry.

For this reason, the Fifth Prince remained silent from beginning to end, with his head down, looking as if he was ready to be beaten or scolded.

The Fourth Prince's party took advantage of this opportunity to make memorials, saying that the face of Western Chu was of great importance and that the Fifth Prince's cousin must not be allowed to command operations at the front line to avoid further accidents!

The Fifth Prince glanced at the complacent Fourth Prince, a gloomy hatred flashing in his eyes.

Faced with this proposal, the King of Western Chu was obviously shaken. He did not see the so-called surprise, but only saw the price he paid in exchange for an insignificant fool.

When the court officials of the Fourth Prince's party saw that His Majesty was wavering, they immediately began to recommend candidates.

There are many military generals in Western Chu, but few famous ones, especially those of the older generation.

In the past, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew how to use talents well. Under his leadership, famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty shocked the world and emerged one after another. The generals of Western Chu, Japan and other countries were suppressed and could not stand out.

Even making a name for oneself has become a luxury, so naturally one won't be very famous.

This is a good opportunity for the Fourth Prince's party. The Fifth Prince's people suffered a defeat on the battlefield and lost the trust of His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty will not re-employ the Fifth Prince's people in the short term.

The candidate recommended by the Fourth Prince was not particularly outstanding, but he was not mediocre either, and was only slightly inferior to the Qi family.

Whether it is the Great Zhou or Western Chu, the civil officials and military generals in the court have always been clearly distinguished. The constant struggles among the civil officials do not mean that the military generals can coexist peacefully!

The Qi family was once very famous in Western Chu and was the only family that stood out. Other military families were overwhelmed and naturally had no chance to show off.

The generals' disgust and jealousy towards the Qi family were just like the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince; they were irreconcilable and a life-and-death struggle.

Under the insistence of the Fourth Prince's party, the King of Western Chu still appointed General Wu as the commander-in-chief, and demoted Qi Minsong to deputy general, whose power in military dispatch was second only to General Wu.

But this news was not good news. At least for Qi Minsong who was fighting far away in Xi'an, the pressure was doubled.

He had to deal with the Great Zhou on the one hand, and at the same time he had to prevent General Wu from making trouble behind his back, which was really annoying.
