Chapter 60: Drive Away Wolves And Tigers
Jiang Ming wrote two letters, each with its own brilliance!
The one given to Li San, sealed with beeswax, contained instructions for Li San to find Ji Bochang after an incense stick.
To tell him that Great Scholar had just divined that the Xianbei Army had arrived at Yan Mountain and was preparing to attack Du Kang Prefecture, and they needed to quickly come up with a countermeasure!
Hearing this news, Ji Bochang would inevitably be panicked and helpless, and would hurry to find him!
At the same time, the letter also instructed Li San to arrange for another Prefecture Soldier to go back to the camp to get some belongings, pretending to have just returned from Chen Family Village, and after two incense sticks, to report to Ji Bochang that a large number of Xianbei Soldiers had been spotted engaging in activities on Yan Mountain.
To corroborate what Jiang Ming said, and that it was not false!
In ancient times, an incense stick was half an hour, and Jiang Ming had calculated the time perfectly!
Sure enough, as soon as Jin Feng left, the person Ji Bochang sent to find him arrived!
Jiang Ming naturally hoped that Jin Feng and Old Madam would fight to the dog’s head, resulting in a death!
In this way, whether Jin Feng died, or Old Madam died.
Jin Feng’s burden could be thrown off…
In the future, this ‘Baby’ Ji Bochang would belong to him alone.
Jiang Ming followed the servant to Ji Bochang’s Study, and he was indeed like an ant on a hot pot, scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety, running around the room.
“Great Scholar, this… is this true? Have the Xianbei People really come?” Ji Bochang asked anxiously.
“Cough!”
Jiang Ming sighed: “I have cast three divinations, and they all say the same… Prefect, how much Military Strength do we currently have in Du Kang Prefecture?”
“Not… not even ten thousand!”
Ji Bochang said with a worried expression: “The Monarch wants to go to War with Qi Kingdom, and most of the Troops have been transferred away! What can we do?”
“Cough!”
Jiang Ming sighed with worry: “Less than ten thousand, how can we possibly defeat the Xianbei People? The Xianbei People… I estimate they are also certain that the Monarch will want to decide the outcome with Qi Kingdom again, so they launched a Sneak Attack…”
“Then Great Scholar, what should we do?” Ji Bochang asked anxiously.
Jiang Ming pondered: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, let me cast another divination and think of a Method to break the situation!”
With that, he sat cross-legged on the soft couch in the Study, pretending to be profound, like an old Daoist entering meditation.
“Tsk… Ah!”
Ji Bochang clicked his Teeth and just kept pacing around the floor.
“Great Scholar? Are you done? What does the Divination say?”
After a quarter of an hour, Ji Bochang, looking miserable, tentatively asked Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming ignored him, and Ji Bochang, feeling bored, continued to pace around the room.
“Prefect, don’t be anxious…”
Jiang Ming pondered: “I am about to calculate the Method to break the situation!”
At this moment, a servant suddenly came in to Report, saying that a Prefecture Soldier who had just returned from Chen Family Village had an Emergency military News to Report.
“Quickly let him in!” Ji Bochang anxiously shouted, stomping his Feet.
At this time, Jiang Ming slowly opened his eyes.
After the Prefecture Soldier, who was arranged by Li San, came in, he said with a panicked and terrified expression: “Reporting to Prefect, we were ordered to watch the horses for Prefect on Yan Mountain, and we encountered a large number of Xianbei soldiers!”
“Ah?”
Hearing this, Ji Bochang was so frightened that he sat down on the stool.
If he was still suspicious and worried just now, now… it was completely confirmed!
Great Scholar Jiang’s calculations were indeed accurate! Not a single bit was wrong!
“A large number… how many is a large number?”
“I can’t see clearly, at least fifty or sixty thousand! And they are all Cavalry!” the Prefecture Soldier replied.
“This this this…”
Ji Bochang stomped his Feet with a miserable expression: “What can we do? What can we do? Here in Du Kang, with Mountains and Forests, it is not suitable for Large-Scale Battle at all, how did they come? This is not Reason!”
“Prefect!”
At this moment, Jiang Ming finally spoke: “Prefect, don’t be anxious, I have already calculated a Method to deal with the Xianbei People!”
“Aiya! Great Scholar Jiang, benefactor Jiang… Fortunately, we have you, fortunately, we have you! Sobbing!”
Ji Bochang was really crying, and grabbed Jiang Ming’s sleeve, asking: “Great Scholar, quickly tell me, how to Retreat?”
Jiang Ming pondered: “You need to go with me, Prefect, to Chen Family Village, with the Divine Might of Prefect, to Deter these Xianbei People!”
“What… what?”
Ji Bochang looked at Jiang Ming with disbelief: “With my Divine Might? I have no Divine Might at all?”
Jiang Ming pondered: “Prefect, don’t be self-deprecating… the Mountain God has already recognized you, you are the person the Mountain God wants to Protect, with you… the Xianbei People dare not cross the line!”
“This this this…”
Ji Bochang looked troubled, obviously unwilling to put himself at risk.
Jiang Ming knew… this Grandson, was probably already considering how to run away.
He grabbed Ji Bochang’s sleeve and said: “What? Prefect, you still don’t believe me?”
“Aiya!”
Ji Bochang said with a miserable expression: “I naturally believe in Mister Jiang, it’s just… these Xianbei People, the Livestock’s ferocity, they are said to eat raw meat… if I go, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t be afraid!”
Jiang Ming smiled: “I am by your side, I will inevitably Protect you!”
“Aiya!”
Ji Bochang was still unwilling, and said miserably: “Mister Jiang, don’t think I’m speaking directly… You are an Immortal, if those Xianbei People really come down the mountain, you just turn into a puff of Smoke and run away, what should I do?”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Ming laughed: “Prefect, look at what you’re saying, if I really turned into a puff of smoke and ran, how could I not take you?”
“Hiss~! That’s right, that’s right!”
Ji Bochang then Suddenly Realized, and quickly said: “Then let’s bring all the soldiers.”
“Hehe…”
Jiang Ming smiled and shook his head: “There’s no need to make such a commotion, just Jiang will accompany you, if you are really not at ease… then you can bring a few hundred Cavalry.”
“What a few hundred? How can that work?” Ji Bochang waved his hand repeatedly.
“Prefect! To tell the Heart, if the Mountain God doesn’t give you a Blessing, it’s useless even if you bring a few thousand people, they can’t withstand a Charge from the Xianbei Army numbering tens of thousands, but if the Mountain God gives you a Blessing, I alone am enough!”
Ji Bochang thought about what Jiang Ming said, and it was indeed Reason, and sighed and said: “Alright, but… Mister Jiang, you must Protect me!”
“You can rest assured… with me here, nothing will happen…”
The two were chatting in the Study, and a servant hurriedly came in and Reported: “Prefect, Big Thing is not good! Old Madam and Madam have started fighting…”
“Tsk! Aiya! Day after day! It’s really going to be the death of me!” Ji Bochang hammered his Chest with his Fists, so worried that he was about to have a Spirit split.
“Then you quickly pull them apart!” Jiang Ming also pretended to be worried.
“Great Scholar…”
The servant replied with a nervous and frightened expression: “The two of them started fighting in the temple in the east of the city, Madam was initially looking everywhere for Old Madam, but couldn’t find her… finally, she learned that Old Madam had gone to burn incense, and went directly to the temple to confront the Old Madam… Both were injured! Madam was seriously injured…”
