In the imperial study room, the emperor was furious after hearing what happened last night, and angrily yelled at Jin Wei who was kneeling in the palace:
"Bastard! I entrusted the safety of Tai'an City to you, and I trust you so much! You actually let the Mobei spies sneak in more than 20 people! How did you guard it for me? The security in the city is so bad! You are Are you ready to put all the people from Mobei into the palace?"
Jin Wei did not defend himself, but leaned down and touched his head to the ground to plead guilty: "I failed to protect the city well, and I deserve death."
The emperor stood up, pointed at Gu Ruizhou standing next to Jin Wei and said:
"General Anbei survived a narrow escape to capture Lu Sang alive and win this great situation for Tianchu. But now because of your negligence, he almost died in the capital of Tianchu! Fortunately, General Anbei survived because of his strong martial arts, otherwise Tianchu would have been killed. What a shame and scandal!"
Jin Wei: "I deserve death for my crime."
The emperor slapped his hands on the table angrily: "When things happen, he will just shout that he deserves death! You really deserve to die!"
Gu Ruizhou saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is more important. This time to take the life of the minister, all Mobei spies came out, it is not necessarily a bad thing."
The emperor sat down bitterly after hearing this: "What do you say?"
Gu Ruizhou: "Your Majesty, Mobei has chosen these spies who do not have the characteristics of Mobei people to sneak into Tai'an. It can be seen that they have been thinking about it for a long time. It may not have been planned long ago. Now just to kill the minister, they all came out. This Such impulsive decision-making, I think there will be no one else but Lu Sang."
The Emperor: "Are you saying that what happened last night was Lu Sang's revenge?"
Gu Ruizhou: "Exactly, if Lu Sang hadn't vented his personal anger, how could Mobei have used these undiscovered spies to kill the minister? This is not war time, and even killing the minister would not be helpful to Mobei. Moreover, these spies I know that it is not easy to kill me, so I want to kill my younger brother and sister to make me feel sad."
Emperor: "Were they ever injured?"
Gu Ruizhou: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a minor injury. Fortunately, the city guard arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
The Emperor: "This Lu Sang is so unreasonable. I spared his life, but he still dares to be so presumptuous! Where are Lu Sang and his party? If they are still in Tianchu territory, capture them for me!"
Jin Wei straightened up and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have inquired last night and learned this morning that Lu Sang has been on his way without delay since he left Tai'an. Now he has reached the northern border. It is too late to stop him now."
The Emperor: "He must have expected that he would be captured after the incident, so he ran so fast!"
Gu Ruizhou: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was because of Lu Sang's recklessness that these hidden spies were revealed, thus avoiding future troubles. I am worried that there are still Mobei spies in Tai'an City, and I want to take this opportunity to eliminate them all. Please order me to work with General Jin Wei to find all the Mobei spies, and I hope your majesty will give you permission."
The emperor glared at Jin Wei with a sullen face: "Since General Anbei has made this suggestion, I will allow you to make meritorious deeds and come back to see you if you make any mistakes again!"
Jin Wei kowtowed to thank him and left the imperial study with Gu Ruizhou.
Looking up at Asahi, Jin Wei felt a chill on his back as the breeze blew, and then he realized that his underwear was already soaked through.
"Thank you to General Anbei for escaping death today."
Gu Ruizhou smiled and said: "General Jin, you're too polite. It is said that when fighting against foreign forces, one must first pacify the interior. With a general like you who is loyal to His Majesty and sticks to Tai'an, the Dingbei Army can kill the enemy without any worries."
Jin Wei: "General Anbei is a high-ranking general. If something happened to the general last night, I will regret it immensely."
