Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

After sending Captain Zhou away, Qiao Xi said to Su Heting, "Regardless of whether or not we missed the carrier pigeon, Ji Chuan has now discovered the secret passage and guessed what I did. I'm afraid he'll be desperate and do something desperate."

If during the war, Ji Chuan publicly exposes Qiao Xi as Qiu Bayue, even if he has no actual evidence, the emperor will probably become suspicious if he hears about it.

She is now at the frontier and is not afraid of what the emperor will do to her. At most, the emperor will be wary of her, and the road to revenge will be more difficult in the future.

But her fourth brother was still in the emperor's hands, and she was afraid that the emperor would make things difficult for him.

Su Heting saw through her thoughts and asked, "Do you want to assassinate Ji Chuan?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

"No."

Su Heting disagreed, "Ji Chuan has been prepared for this, and assassination is too risky."

No matter how skilled Qiao Xi was, it would be difficult for him to escape from the army and the rain of arrows, but he also understood Qiao Xi's concerns.

Once Ji Chuan releases the news, they can silence ten, a hundred, or a thousand people, but they cannot silence the mouths of tens of thousands of people.

What's more, there must be the emperor's spies in southern Xinjiang.

He pondered and said, "I have someone in the Xinjiang South Army. I asked him to spread the news that Ji Chuan had transferred his property and food."

People eat for food.

Food and fodder are the lifeblood of soldiers. If the Xinjiang South military camp knew that Yincheng had run out of food, there would definitely be chaos.

By then, Ji Chuan would be busy dealing with the chaos in the army and would not be able to take care of Qiao Xi's affairs.

After all, the news of whether Qiao Xi is Qiu Bayue is only useful to the emperor and cannot appease the soldiers in southern Xinjiang.

The emperor knew that Ji Chuan had transferred property and food, so even if he suspected Qiao Xi, he would not trust Ji Chuan.

Qiao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, "Then I will send a message to Xu An, asking them to speed up the process, and then have someone inform the emperor as soon as possible about Ji Chuan's illegitimate child."

Su Heting nodded, "If these are not enough to cause trouble for Ji Chuan, then send another one."

"what?"

Su Heting curled his lips coldly, "The original owner's life experience."

Jifu in Yincheng.

The servant of Ji Mansion disguised as an ordinary citizen returned to Ji Mansion and reported to Ji Chuan, "Master, the carrier pigeon has been sent out safely."

After hearing this, Ji Chuan finally felt relieved.

As soon as the emperor received the letter, he would know that the real rebels were Qiao Xi and Su Heting.

In the current situation of Dayou, the emperor can only use the checks and balances among the various vassal states to maintain the rule of imperial power.

If the emperor does not want Su Heting and his men to become too powerful, he will support Jiangnan to fight against them. As long as Jiangnan can hold out until the reinforcements from the court arrive, it may not lose this battle.

Thinking of this, he fiercely ordered, "The young master's affairs must not be spread outside. No one should be left alive in the manor. Send more people to the Yao family father and daughter, and do not let them leave southern Xinjiang."

In this way, even if the emperor heard the news, he could only make a choice between him and Qiao Xi and Su Heting without any evidence.

He just had some ambition, but Qiao Xi had a blood feud with the emperor for exterminating his entire family. The emperor was not stupid, he knew what to choose.

As for how the emperor would settle accounts with him afterwards, he would then find a way to overcome the current difficulties.

He then instructed his trusted generals, "Secretly contact the wealthy merchants to raise food and fodder. If there are any resistance, use harsh measures and transfer more from the other two states. Be sure not to leak the news."

After everything was ordered, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

I've been having so many bad things lately that I have trouble falling asleep at night. Even if I finally do fall asleep, I wake up several times a night and my head hurts so much that it feels like it's going to explode.

He pinched his brows and said to Butler Ji, "Find someone who is good at massage."

When Butler Ji heard this, his eyes rolled and soon he brought a stunningly beautiful woman into the mansion.

In the past, the Yao family was in charge, and Ji Chuan had to establish a good image as a husband, so those with outstanding looks could not enter the Ji Mansion.

The person in front of us was found by Butler Ji from outside.

"Master, this is Captain Li's sister. She originally wanted to find a good marriage, so she took a female doctor as her teacher. I heard that her massage skills are very good, so I asked her to come and relieve your pain."

He was telling Ji Chuan that the woman was of clean background and had not yet married.

Ji Chuan raised his eyelids slightly, took in the woman's appearance and slender figure, and understood what Butler Ji meant. However, he did not object. He waved his hand, signaling Butler Ji to leave.

Although the timing is not right, he does need descendants.

Now that he has no wives or concubines in his house, he needs someone to take care of him.

There was a bed in the study, and soon the two of them rolled into a ball, while Butler Ji was guarding outside the yard.

After being suspected by Ji Chuan once, he developed a sense of crisis. Coincidentally, there was no female master in the mansion, so he took the opportunity to place his own people next to Ji Chuan, which would also be a guarantee for his advice in the future.

In the room, Ji Chuan was busy with the inheritance of his descendants.

Outside the house, a guard came running in, but was stopped by Ji Guanjia. "What's the matter?"

The guard was ordered to go to the manor to kill the servants, and he said anxiously, "When we arrived, the servants in the manor had already run away.

I only saw the bodies of a few guards. Those servants were not very skilled. Someone must have killed the guards on the farm and helped them escape."

"How could this be?"

Butler Ji's heart sank when he heard this.

Could it be Qiao Xi and the others again?

But the master is doing important work in the house now. If he goes to disturb him now, it would be a waste of time.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Keep a close eye on them and don't let anyone spread rumors. If there are those who don't know how to live or die..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Those people have already run away, and it is inevitable that the master will be angry. It is better to let him finish the work in the house first. Maybe he will feel more relaxed and his anger will be less.

Not long after, another general came running over with a red face and ears. This general was not someone that Steward Ji could stop.

"The master is resting, it's inconvenient now."

The general's surname is Qin. He comes from a military family and has lived in southern Xinjiang for generations. He is a straightforward but loyal and capable person, and is highly valued by Ji Chuan.

After hearing what Steward Ji said, General Qin looked at the sky suspiciously. It was broad daylight, why was the lord taking a rest?

But the hesitant look on Butler Ji's face and the faint sounds coming from the room made him understand something.

He stretched out his two thumbs and showed Butler Ji the sexual position of a man and a woman.

Seeing Butler Ji nod, General Qin suddenly felt a surge of anger in his chest and kicked Butler Ji on the calf.

"You bastard, even if you want to curry favor with the Lord, you should consider the timing.

The enemy is almost outside the city, and the people in the barracks are in a panic. They are all saying that you don't care about the lives of the soldiers, and you are still stuffing women around you. "

He didn't lower his voice. He was scolding Butler Ji and also speaking to Ji Chuan.

The news he just received was really too infuriating and too chilling.

There was a rumor in the army that the master had already made preparations to escape and even transferred his property and food.

He didn't believe it, but the rumors were so convincing that he had no choice but to go to the city to ask the adults for clarification.

But who could have thought that while he was busy preparing for the upcoming war and was getting anxious and angry, the adults still had the leisure to indulge themselves.

He tended to be impulsive when he was angry, and he didn't care whether Ji Chuan was angry or not. He just wanted an answer.

War means death. Without food, they will die faster. How can he explain this to his soldiers?

Steward Ji nodded, intending to let General Qin know not to disturb Ji Chuan, but he didn't expect that Ji Chuan would dare to grumble so loudly.

While feeling angry, he was also secretly happy, happy that Ji Chuan would definitely punish General Qin.

Because he knew best that Ji Chuan was extremely concerned about his reputation.

Sure enough, after a while, Ji Chuan stood at the door of the study with a dark face.
