Chapter 765 - News from the border. (2/2)
-
” Greeting to Empress Dowager and Her Majesty. I came here to inform Empress Dowager about the safety of His Majesty and to report about the situation at the border.”
” King Xuegang has pulled out his troops from the eastern border and peace has been restored there. However, the dispute is still continuing on the western border with Prince Ji Zhelan. His Majesty is planning to march towards the western border to check the conditions there and restore the law and order.” The soldier relayed the message as he stayed in the bowing position out of courtesy.
Zhao Ming was relieved that things were getting better but when she heard that he is going to the western border to deal things with Ji Zhelan, her complexion turned pale.
Wen Xu was shocked as well, however, she kept her calm and send the soldier back before turning to Zhao Ming, ” Don't worry. Didn't you hear what he said? The peace has been restored on the eastern border, now only the western side is left. I am sure Ji Cheng will handle everything.”
” However, I wonder what made Xiao Ruogang back out from the war,” she muttered in wonder. Zhao Ming took a deep breath and was thinking about the same thing.

”SLAM!!”
Ji Zhelan slammed hard on the table with his palms when he heard the news about Xiao Ruogang taking back his troops from the war. They had decided to attack Ji Cheng together, he will handle the western border while Xiao Ruogang takes the eastern side.
The sudden attack will weaken their military power and since Ji Cheng was missing at that time, it would put the military and country in chaos. And everything was going smoothly according to their plan, they just needed to find a good opportunity to penetrate into the country and take over the palace.
However, before they could do so, Ji Cheng not only came to settle the issue but restored the peace on the eastern border in such a short time.
” How can he betray me like this? Didn't he want to take revenge on Ji Cheng? Now, what happened when he was the one leading in the war?” He growled and threw the doc.u.ments on the table in anger.
His man who informed him about this situation didn't say anything and stood there with his head held down.
” Are you sure Xiao Ruogang went to meet Ji Cheng? Then that must be the time when Ji Cheng has done something to make him change his mind.”
” Hah, Ji Cheng, seems like I have underestimated your powers, huh.” He takes a deep breath to understand the situation and prepare the strategies according to it.
” If he has handled the situation at the eastern border, then he must be preparing to come to the western border now. Call our men for an emergency meeting. We need to change our strategies according to the situation.” He said while rubbing his temples.
It took him a great deal of courage to lead this war and if things go wrong this time, his dream of ruling over the Ji Dynasty will not only go in vain, the idea of tormenting Ji Cheng will also crumble with this war if he fails to get Ji Cheng down from the throne.
