This Jiangyuan Palace was a successful summer resort built by the Gongdu Kingdom at the beginning of its founding and when its national power was strong. It took thirty years of efforts to build a successful summer resort. It is very luxurious and elegant.

After the palace was built, every year during the hot summer, the king of the palace capital would come with his concubines and royal family to escape the summer heat.

Originally, this place only accommodated the palace royal family, but in order to keep his throne, Li Zaiyuan did not hesitate to destroy the ancestral system to please Xu Zhaojie and let him live here.

Xu Zhaojie was not polite to Li Zaiyuan's kindness. Not only did he live in the palace directly, but he also enjoyed the female family members in the palace wantonly. Suddenly, this palace, which had a history of a hundred years and symbolized the dignity of the royal family in the palace, unexpectedly It became his comfort zone.

As soon as Jin Yingquan got out of the carriage, he saw Xu Zhaojie's deputy general Dong Chunyu coming towards him with several imperial soldiers.

"Mr. Jin Zhen, the general has gone to bed. I wonder if you have anything to report?"

There was a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in Dong Chunyu's voice. He didn't know that this old guy Jin Yingquan needed to come so late, which made it impossible for him to sleep well.

Glancing with sharp eyes, Jin Yingquan, the confidant of Xu Zhaojie in front of him, said in a deep voice: "There is an urgent military situation. I need to see the general immediately!"

Although he didn't know what happened to Jin Yingquan, Dong Chunyu still knew the identity of this old guy very well, so even though he was very unhappy, he still nodded and did not dare to be negligent at all. At the same time, he arranged for someone to notify Xu Zhaojie, While personally taking Jin Yingquan towards Jingde Hall where Xu Zhaojie lived.

A moment later, Jin Yingquan walked into the Jingde Hall. At this time, sitting at the head of the Jingde Hall, there was a middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, but he looked a little tired at the moment. He had an evil look on his face. Looking at him.

Jin Yingquan ignored Xu Zhaojie's gaze, and did not wait for the Eastern Expedition general to ask. He bowed and saluted, and then said in a deep voice:

"Report to the general, just now, our Supervision Department received urgent information that Li Zaiyuan and the Luobei people conspired to expel our Eastern Expedition Army from the palace. At present, the palace army has begun to attack us and is stationed in the rear to guard The grain road army is trying to cut off the supplies of our frontline army..."

Before Jin Yingquan finished speaking, Xu Zhaojie's eyes became extremely sharp. He stared at Jin Yingquan and said angrily:

"You, the Inspectorate, are so brave!"

Although what Jin Yingquan said was that the Gongdu army took the initiative to attack, how could Xu Zhaojie, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, not understand what Jin Yingquan said?

Although Xu Zhaojie's voice was not loud, Jin Yingquan could clearly feel the rage and murderous intent in the heart of this general who was in charge of tens of thousands of troops.

Although he was a little worried in his heart, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Therefore, Jin Yingquan could only grit his teeth and said bravely:

"The general is joking. It is Li Zaiyuan who is bold, and those who are with him, not me."

"snort!"

"Jin Yingquan, you are so presumptuous! I am not your Supervision Department here, and it is not your old dog's turn to rely on your old age!"

Hearing that Jin Yingquan dared to make insinuations about himself at this time, Xu Zhaojie suddenly became furious and immediately cursed:

Following Xu Zhaojie's anger, Dong Chunyu, who was guarding outside the palace, immediately rushed into the palace with a few imperial soldiers, pulled out his sword from his waist, and surrounded Jin Yingquan with an evil look on his face.

"Killing you is no different from killing a dog. Even if I really kill you, Chen Jingyu can only hold his nose and admit it!"

Looking at Jin Yingquan, who had white hair and beard, Xu Zhaojie's expression was stern, and his voice was equally cold and bone-chilling, without a trace of emotion.

Although he was in danger, Jin Yingquan, an old man in his seventies, was quite courageous. He looked around and saw the Xu Zhaojie Imperial Guard soldiers surrounding him. He shook his head and said calmly:

"If it were Li Ben of the Hujie Forbidden Army who was sitting here, Commander Li, I would never come here. Although I have lived for a century, my little grandson has just been born and is about to enjoy the delicious food. Sun Zhile, I don’t want to be stuck here.”

"General, you are a smart man. You know very well that things have come to this point and cannot be changed!"

"I'm not afraid to tell the general that at this time, several troops from the rear may have already invaded the Luochuan Road granary and Liujing. So, general, since what you want has failed, why not go with the flow? Where is the beauty of adulthood?”

"This matter is also a matter of fame and fortune for you. You can also gain some credit. In the future, it is not a bad idea to be promoted to the Duke of the country and honor your ancestors. Why bother to block it?"

After Jin Yingquan finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhaojie who was sitting in the main seat, and Xu Zhaojie fell into silence under his gaze. After a moment, he waved his hand and after receiving the order, the imperial soldiers bowed and retreated.

Seeing this, Jin Yingquan was relieved. Although he looked calm and confident on the surface, he was actually a little nervous.

Xu Zhaojie was right. With his status, even if he really left his old bones here, no one would say anything. Even if Commander Chen sued Xu Zhaojie for him afterwards and really pursued the case, The most the Chief Assistant could do was fine him a year's salary and dismiss the matter lightly.

"What are you going to do next?"

After taking a deep look at Jin Yingquan, Xu Zhaojie slowly said:

"I have arranged everything. I just have to wait for the general to follow the steps and enjoy the results!" Jin Yingquan said with his hand:

Xu Zhaojie nodded, seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jin Yingquan also said goodbye and left. He did not want to stay with a dangerous person like Xu Zhaojie for even one second longer.
