Ji Wuxin made the final decision, directly awarding Youzhou County to the emperor.

Next came the rewards bestowed upon the eldest prince, Wu Ce: two million taels of silver, five hundred thousand taels of silk, and the fiefdom of Dinghai City!

Dinghai City is located downstream of Sifang City, and to the north, it faces another city of the Longwu Dynasty across the river.

However, this place is much richer than Juebi City, so the Crown Prince's trip to Dinghai City can be considered a way to enjoy life.

As for Jia Daoshi, Ji Wuxin didn't even mention him!

Clearly, Ji Wuxin still didn't quite like Jia Daoshi.

Seeing that Ji Wuxin had given out all the rewards, the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, as long as the position of crown prince is not given to the eldest prince, then everything is negotiable!

at the same time.

Another fast horse galloped into the capital.

The one riding the horse was none other than the Azure Phoenix messenger.

This Azure Phoenix messenger is different from the previous two.

Riding his horse at full speed, he shouted, "Great victory at Cliff City! Great victory at Cliff City!"

"The Crown Prince, the Prince of Zhenbei, and Jatis joined forces to defeat the enemy, utterly crushing 500,000 Kushan cavalry!"

"Annihilate 300,000! Capture 100,000!"

"A great victory at Cliff City!..."

The Azure Phoenix messenger rode his horse and roared all the way!

When passing through a city, such news of victory on the frontier should be shouted out loud.

Once the news is announced, the people will know that the court has won, and they will no longer panic.

However, before sending out the Azure Phoenix messengers, Pan Feng and Song Zhaoyue had instructed them not to make a fuss.

So the common people don't know.

In Pan Feng and Song Zhaoyue's view, the Battle of Juebi City had a huge impact. If the people knew about it too early, the public opinion would indeed put pressure on the court and His Majesty!

However, Jia Daoshi and the eldest prince's messenger, Qingluan, didn't care about such things. To prevent the messenger from hurting his throat by shouting, Jia Daoshi even prepared a special medicine to protect his throat.

The purpose is to let the people of Dajing know about the great victory at Juebi City!

Meanwhile, as the Azure Phoenix messenger shouted all the way, the people of the capital quickly learned of this news!

Almost everyone was stunned on the spot!

What the hell?

What kind of battle report is this?

Three hundred thousand enemies killed! One hundred thousand captured!

Must I be hearing things?

The army of the Great Jing Dynasty has fought against the Kushan Empire before, but when has it ever achieved such an impressive record?

However, because the number was so large, the people of Dajing felt it was unlikely to be fake.

If you kill a thousand or two thousand, or ten thousand or twenty thousand, there's no way to verify it, which makes it very easy to fake.

But they killed 300,000 enemies and captured 100,000!

No one would be foolish enough to spread rumors using these two numbers, right?

So although it sounds unreliable, many ordinary people stopped doubting it after they realized what was going on.

Especially since the messenger was a Qingluan messenger with an urgent delivery speed of 800 li, the battle report delivered by such a messenger must be true!

After a brief silence, the people of the capital city of Dajing went completely wild, banging drums and gongs and spreading the news far and wide!

An imperial city like the capital of Dajing is not only inhabited by the people of Dajing, but also by major forces from all over the world, various gangs in the martial arts world, and intelligence agencies from other countries!

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to spread this news throughout the capital, carrier pigeons, hawks, and messengers carried the message in all directions!

……

Grand Palace, back garden.

Ji Wuxin was standing by a pond, holding several large white steamed buns in her hand, tearing them into small pieces to feed the koi in the pond.

A figure suddenly appeared behind Ji Wuxin.

Ji Wuxin frowned: "It seems that the High Priest's skills have improved again."

The dark figure was none other than the High Priest of the Great Jing Dynasty, his entire body shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face.

In the entire Grand Scenery, it's estimated that only Ji Wuxin has ever seen the High Priest's true face!

"I recently had a sudden realization, and my cultivation technique has made a breakthrough."

The high priest's voice was calm.

Ji Wuxin didn't discuss this issue further, but instead asked, "High Priest, what's your opinion on the matter of Cliff City?"

Upon hearing this, the high priest fell silent.

To be honest, this news shocked her and she found it hard to believe.

However, her intelligence network was quite advanced, so she quickly determined the authenticity of the information.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhenbei and the Jia Tisi are both brave and resourceful, a perfect match that saves Your Majesty a lot of trouble!" The High Priest's voice was very calm.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuxin paused in his actions, then shook his head and said, "High Priest, you are mocking me."

High Priest: "Your Majesty, I did not mean that."

Ji Wuxin said coldly, "In my opinion, Shen Li does not have the ability to train three thousand Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry. If she could, she would have done so long ago."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest said calmly, "According to Your Majesty, are these heavily armored cavalrymen organized by Jia Tisi?"

Ji Wuxin nodded and said, "Who else could it be but him? This kid has really kept a deep eye on things! Thirty thousand Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry! Even the imperial court can't afford to support them! He's just a commander of the Imperial City Guard, yet he's keeping such a cavalry force!"

The high priest suddenly said, "Your Majesty, it is said that he is a member of the Jinshi School, and Jia Tisi married Yi Qianxiao, the daughter of Xuanhua Company. Xuanhua Company was originally known for forging weapons, and with the recently opened Mixuedan City, with his wealth, it would be no problem for him to support such a cavalry force!"

Ji Wuxin shook his head and said, "High Priest, this isn't about money. Have you ever thought about where these 30,000 people came from?"

"I know everything about Shen Li's troops, as do I know about the troops of Juebi City and the Iron Forest Army. How long has he been in this position? When I first met him, I was quite impressed with him. At that time, Jia Daoshi definitely did not have these 30,000 Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry!"

The high priest hesitated for a moment, then said, "So, in Your Majesty's view, Jia Daoshi is secretly colluding with other dynasties and forces?"

"However, in the Great Jing, only Ming Heying has this strength, but Ming Heying does not have 30,000 Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, and given Ming Heying's personality, there is absolutely no way she would lend out her troops!"

"As for Longwu and the Yuezhi, if they were to mobilize troops, it would be impossible for them to keep it from our eyes and ears!"

Upon hearing the High Priest's words, Ji Wuxin fell silent.

The High Priest is right. Soldiers of this rank are the focus of surveillance by all the major dynasties and powers. If there is any disturbance, the spies will definitely send out the news.

Moreover, this kind of soldier is the prized possession of all dynasties and powers. Who would take such a big risk to lend him to fight against 500,000 barbarian beast riders?

Just as Ji Wuxin was feeling anxious, the High Priest said again, "Your Majesty need not worry. This is not a bad thing for Your Majesty."
