☆ Chapter 239 Missing

                                    

                                          
Since the last time Jiang Li met the Queen Mother in the palace, the days have been going by slowly. Emperor Hong Xiao did not ask her what she had said to the Queen Mother, and Jiang Li would not take the initiative to tell him. 
Jiang Yuanbai did not ask either, but Old Lady Jiang, who heard that there was a miracle doctor in Yongzhou who could cure people's dementia, thought about taking Jiang Youyao to Yongzhou after Jiang Yuanbai resigned to see if she could restore Jiang Youyao's sanity.
The Jiang family was unexpectedly calm about the upcoming resignation. Except for Jiang Jingrui, the others did not say much. Everything that rises must fall. It is not easy for the Jiang family to get out of this unscathed. When there is no power to worry about, people will care more about family ties. So, Jiang Youyao's matter became a big deal for the Jiang family.
Jiang Yuanbai and Old Lady Jiang asked Jiang Li indirectly whether she was willing to go to Yongzhou. Yongzhou is north of Qingzhou and is also very safe. Jiang Li could stay in Yongzhou for a while, and then return to Yanjing when Ji Heng returned to Capital. However, Jiang Li refused as usual, saying that no matter what, she would wait for Ji Heng to return in Yanjing City.
Her attitude was so firm that Jiang Yuanbai and Old Lady Jiang did not ask any more questions. Jiang Yuanbai had already dealt with his subordinates in these days and submitted a memorial of resignation. Emperor Hong Xiao did not stop him, and did not even mean to keep him, and agreed happily. 
So, Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping, the two brothers, could not help but break out in a cold sweat in relief, and the regrets they had before were swept away. If they were not willing to withdraw at this time, maybe they would not know what kind of ending they would have in the future. As long as they are in the emperor's eyes, no one in the world can have a good end.
Spring passed like this, and summer came. In the hot summer, good news came frequently from Qingzhou. The Jinwu Army led by Ji Heng recaptured several cities, and Yin Zhili retreated to the south. After a long period of persistence, the troops of both sides were consumed. 
Yin Zhili focused on tactics, while Ji Heng's Jinwu Army had a bit of the shadow of the Flying Dragon Cavalry in the past. They took a different approach, but they were ruthless in killing people and were full of momentum. Under such circumstances, Ji Heng had the upper hand and seemed to have gradually gotten used to the battlefield. Compared with the previous stalemate, the war at least opened up a new situation.
The people of Yanjing gradually diluted their worries about the war with the frequent reports of victory. The capital was still a scene of singing and dancing, as if nothing had happened. When Ye Shijie talked about this with Jiang Li, he also said that although the Yin family soldiers were very powerful and Yin Zhili's tactics were also very sophisticated, Yin Zhili was not very old after all, and often lacked the killing spirit of a general. 
In contrast, the Jinwu Army was like a sharp sword unsheathed, murderous at every step, and Ji Heng was even more ruthless. He alone killed several generals under Yin Zhili, cut off their heads and hung them behind his horse's tail as a military achievement.
Ye Shijie felt very strange. Yin Zhili and Ji Heng were of similar age, but the murderous aura on Ji Heng was something Yin Zhili could never learn. Yin Zhili still lived in the clouds and was trained since childhood. Why was the gap between people so big?
Jiang Li heard this, just smiled and said nothing, but felt sad for Ji Heng in her heart. Although Yin Zhili was personally taught the way of using troops by Yin Zhan, Yin Zhili spent his childhood and adolescence in a relaxed and comfortable manner without knowing the truth. 
There was no burden or darkness in his past life. He did not have to face the bloody truth, nor did he have to avoid disguise in order to survive. But Ji Heng was different. From birth to now, Ji Heng has not lived as easily as Yin Zhili.
