Chapter 547: Soldiers
“May I know what is the Imperial Consort coming?” She was too lazy to guess, but Jin Weiwei had to ask say without mincing words.
“Miss Jin and Ji Shizi have experienced hardships together, so they must have deep feelings,” Princess De looked at Jin Weiwei and smiled. “I wonder what kind of relationship Young Lady and Ji Shizi are.”
“I have known my son for many years. This time, I travelled with the merchant ship and was saved several times by the son. His Highness the Son is naturally my benefactor,” Jin Weiwei’s tell a story without missing a single circumstance answered.
These days, she and Ji Jingzhi lived together. Even King De knew to use her as bait to lure Ji Jingzhi to throw oneself into the net. Princess De ran over to ask her about her relationship with Ji Jingzhi. Jin Weiwei couldn’t guess what her purpose was.
Jin Weiwei was confused, but after Princess De asked, she never mentioned Ji Jingzhi again. Instead, she dragged her to gossip for the whole afternoon until Ji Jingzhi came back.
“Seeing how confused I was, I forgot about the time when I talked to Vivian.” As soon as Ji Jingzhi entered, Consort De got up with a smile and asked, “Your Highness is back in the residence.”
“Greetings to the Imperial Consort,” Ji Jingzhi said with a smile, “Uncle went to the study.”
Consort De nodded with a smile and turned around to take her men out of the courtyard.
“Princess De is here to find you?” Ji Jingzhi looked at the courtyard and asked thoughtfully.
“She asked me about my relationship with you,” Jin Weiwei nodded and answered honestly.
“Looks like things are almost done,” Ji Jingzhi thought for a moment before the doubt on his face disappeared into the clean out completely.
“What did you notice?” Jin Weiwei was startled, “Did you find something after walking around with the king?”
Ji Jingzhi was not in a hurry. He closed the door and pulled Jin Weiwei into the room. He sat down at the table and said, “I found something big.”
When she heard Ji Jingzhi say this, Jin Weiwei immediately became curious.
Looking at Ji Jingzhi’s expression, the big thing he discovered must be very beneficial to them.
“The Demon King is in the army,” Ji Jingzhi’s eyes were full of joy.
“Soldiers!” She didn’t expect that Ji Jingzhi would throw such big news out of his mouth. Jin Weiwei was so scared by him that she almost couldn’t close her mouth.
This is no wonder he followed the Queen of De so eagerly every day. He must have noticed something from the beginning, so he had to deal with the queen.
Isn’t it just to rope him into a thief boat with him if Ji Jingzhi used to recuperate himself? If Demon King De was really sneaking into the army, then Ji Jingzhi’s goal would be achieved. He would have more chips to go back to the palace.
“Tell me, what’s the matter?”
“At first, I felt that something was wrong. If Demon King De really had no purpose at all, there was no need to spend so much effort to save us and help us avoid the little emperor’s eyes,” Ji Jingzhi said.
Jin Weiwei lowered her voice and asked softly, “Are you scheming against me?”
Ji Jingzhi didn’t deny it and nodded.
“For so many years, the imperial palace has been wary of the Demon King. It is not unreasonable,” Ji Jingzhi said with a smile, “I found that the Demon King has far surpassed what the palace knows. Not only that, for many years, the imperial court only thought that the Demon King only had the small team that defeated the sea thieves back then, but they never thought that the Demon King still had an army hidden in his hands.
Jin Weiwei immediately understood what Ji Jingzhi said.
Although the imperial palace had been monitoring the De King’s residence for many years, it was only on guard. The in a flagrant way had not suppressed the De King. It was precisely because the Demon King did not have an army, only one of them had no to put in one’s eyes at all. The ancestors and the little emperor did not take this Water Army seriously.
However, if the Demon King really had an army, it would be different.
“In the past few years, the Demon King has expanded its military force several times, but compared to the other members of the same family and generals, the Demon King’s Water Army is less than a third of the people in the hands of these people.” Ji Jingzhi continued, “The people in the palace naturally don’t care too much, but I found that these water soldiers are not real water soldiers.”
“Not a real military force?” Jin Weiwei was stunned and quickly asked, “Could it be that Demon King De secretly hid the army in these water armies?”
“I’ve heard that after the Chinese sea enemy was defeated in the East Sea, there have been several pirates in the East Sea. Although the Demon King repelled the pirates several times, he suffered heavy losses.” Ji Jingzhi nodded and said, “I guess that this uncle of mine is taking advantage of these battles to expand the army and steal the army.”
“Fortunately, you found out,” Jin Weiwei nodded thoughtfully.
“This may not be what I found out,” Ji Jingzhi smiled and shook his head, “No matter if it is the ancestor the little emperor, no one is easy to deal with. Although they are not as good as before, they don’t find anything fishy inside. It can be seen how deep the king’s heart is and how enduring it is. Such a person, such a big secret, is so easy to detect.
“Then do you mean that Demon King deliberately hinted at you?” Jin Weiwei was stunned.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Even though the Demon King has been so thorough, he has been far away from the power of the capital city for many years, so he might not be able to accomplish anything. I was forced by the little emperor to do so, so I became his best candidate,” Ji Jingzhi said with a deep gaze, “He knew that I was testing his troops, but he seemed to be telling me the truth. First of all, it would be a test for me.
Listening to Ji Jingzhi’s words, Jin Weiwei also felt that Demon King was scary.
“Then you just said that this matter is about to be completed, so what is the matter?” Jin Weiwei suddenly thought of the be rather baffling’s Consort De and asked, “What does it have to do with that Consort De?”
“Demon King De has made a decision, so he asked Consort De to test your relationship with me,” Ji Jingzhi said as he pulled Jin Weiwei’s hand and held it in his palm, saying worriedly, “Demon King does not trust me, so he needs to know what position you have in my heart. If He Lan Yuan conspired with me, he must have my evidence in his hands so that he can rest assured.
After hearing Ji Jingzhi’s analysis, Jin Weiwei mumbled, “I am the one he is looking for.”
