When they returned to the courtyard where they lived, Grandma Yu and Erya had already prepared the meal.

"I heard that the prince and princess will be leaving with the army in an hour, so we made some food. I hope that the prince and princess can have a warm meal before they leave."

Jixiang looks at Tian Muyu.

Tian Muyu nodded, "Let's eat something. The New Year is coming soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down and eat properly during the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Just think of it as eating the New Year's Eve meal in advance."

When Grandma Yu heard this, she quickly called Erya, "Erya, let's go, let's prepare some more food."

"Let the prince and princess have a good time!" "Hey!" Erya hurried away after Grandma Yu.

Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, Ji Xiang was indeed a little hungry, "How about we discuss it while we eat?"

Tian Muyu quickly set up a chair for Jixiang, "Eat and drink well, we will take down Jinling City in one go!"

Ji Xiang shouted to Erya, "Erya, Brother Xiong and the others are here. Go and call Brother Xiong and Xie Dongnan to come and eat too."

Erya, who was far away, replied, "Okay, miss, I'll call someone right away!"

"Call my cousin, cousin, and General Pang again!"

"Yes, miss!"

Jiang Renhe, Jiang Peipei, and General Pang arrived soon.

However, Xiong Er and Xie Dongnan arrived a little later because they had some things to arrange.

When they all arrived, everyone sat around a table, ate and discussed the attack on Jinling City.

"Cousin, do you know who is the prefect of Jinling City now?"

"Who?" Ji Xiang was curious.

"It's Master Xue, Xue Huai'en, who has a good relationship with my grandfather."

"The expenses he paid for going to Beijing to take the exam were given to him by his grandfather."

After hearing this, Tian Muyu seemed to see hope.

Unexpectedly, the prefect of Jinling City had such a connection with Ji Xiang's grandfather.

Jixiang couldn't help but smile and looked at Tian Muyu, "This man is just like a gift from God. Cousin, do you have anything in your hand that can prove your grandfather's identity?"

Jiang Renhe took out a piece of jade from his chest, "My grandfather gave it to me specially when we entered Beijing."

"You should be able to use it when it's critical."

Jixiang took the jade and said, "It seems like it will be the stepping stone for us to meet Xue Huai'en."

"Cousin, my brother and I will go see him first!"

"It would be best if he knows the current situation. If he refuses to let us in, we will find a way to tie him up!"

Jiang Renhe nodded on the side, "Pei Pei's method is good, first be polite and then attack."

Ji Xiang hesitated, after all, this was a dangerous matter, in case something happened to Jiang Renhe and Jiang Peipei.

She would not be able to explain to her grandfather.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiang looked at Tian Muyu and said, "Let father write a letter. Then I will go to see Xue Huaien in person."

Tian Muyu didn't want Jixiang to take this risk, "I'll go with my cousin, and you and your cousin will follow the big army."

He looked at Jiang Renhe and said, "Cousin, what do you think?"

Jiang Renhe nodded, "This is best. And if something happens, the prince and I can protect ourselves."

"Yes, this matter is settled." Tian Muyu didn't want Jixiang to say any more objections.

Seeing this, Jixiang stopped worrying about the matter.

Then I will analyze with you the various problems and solutions that will be encountered next.

By the time everyone was done discussing, an hour had passed.

Tian Muyu and Jiang Renhe took the lead on the road with a few people.

Jixiang also arranged for people to protect Emperor Likang and the others, and he, Xiong Er and the others led the way first.

The journey went smoothly.

However, when approaching Jinling City, they encountered a situation.

It turned out that Jinling City seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and five thousand troops were stationed outside the city.

The euphemistic name was to protect the city, but in fact it was to prevent Emperor Likang from entering the city.

The general leading the team was Han Sanjin, the leader of the Jinling City garrison.

As soon as Ji Xiang heard this name, he suspected that this person had something to do with Han Sijin, and asked Xiong Er to send someone to find out. Sure enough, he was Han Sijin's biological brother.

Han Sijin was ordered by Kou Peilin and almost lost his life.

Unexpectedly, this brother of his is still not very smart at all.

It is estimated that he deliberately stopped outside the city at this time to prevent Emperor Likang from entering the city. He must have received orders from the people in the capital.

"I'll go talk to him." After hearing about the relationship between Han Sanjin and Han Sijin, Ji Xiang made a decision.

At this time, Tian Muyu had already entered the city after refitting with Jiang Renhe.

If Jixiang wants to do this, no one will object.

"I'll go with the eldest lady." Xiong Er said.

Ji Xiang nodded, ordered Li Da and others to protect Emperor Likang, and then rode a carriage towards the military camp opposite.

Han Sanjin was a little stunned when he heard that Princess Ning wanted to see him.

"Why does she, a woman, come to see me?"

"Did something happen to Prince Ning?!"

Thinking of this possibility, Han Sanjin became a little arrogant and said, "Bring people in!"

Soon Ji Xiang and Xiong Er were brought into Han Sanjin's tent.

Han Sanjin looked at Ji Xiang and then at Xiong Er, "Who is he?"

"Of course it's General Xiong of the Xiong Family Army!"

Xiong Er cupped his fists at Han Sanjin and said, "I have met General Han."

Knowing Xiong Er's identity, Han Sanjin calmed down a little bit of his unruliness just now.

After all, the reputation of Xiong Jiajun back then was well known to everyone.

"I didn't expect that General Xiong would personally accompany Princess Ning to my camp. It's such a blessing."

"I just don't know why you two came here?"

Jixiang didn't talk nonsense and said directly, "Of course it's about entering the city. I don't know why General Han doesn't let me wait to enter the city, but insists on stopping us outside the city?"

Han Sanjin looked like I didn't care, "I'm not deliberately trying to embarrass you, but Cao Jiedu has an order. When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be celebrations in the city, and large numbers of outsiders are prohibited from entering."

"Cao Yu, the military envoy of Zhendong Army?" Jixiang asked.

"Exactly. Cao Jiedu just gave the order, and we can only follow it."

"Who is the new emperor he is referring to? Could it be that the emperor of our Great Holy Dynasty has been replaced by a new one?!"

Ji Xiang looked at Han Sanjin with a stern look.

"General Han, is your position of general granted by the new emperor?"

Han Sanjin was startled and didn't know how to answer Ji Xiang.

"The emperor is right behind, and you are going to welcome some new emperor to the throne."

"Is it possible that you have rebelled against the Great Holy Dynasty and established a new country on your own?!"

"If this is really the case, and it reaches the ears of the Emperor and his elders, this will be a serious crime that will punish everyone!"

"General Han, please don't forget that you and Cao Jiedu are both officials of our Great Holy Dynasty. Emperor Likang of the Great Holy Dynasty personally awarded you the official title."

"You are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the emperor you want to be loyal to is Emperor Likang!"

"Jinling is the Jinling of our Great Holy Dynasty. If the emperor of the Great Holy Dynasty wants to enter, you should open the city gates to welcome him ceremoniously!"

"Instead of blocking people outside the city like this!"

"The people you are stopping are not ordinary people, but the most powerful emperor in our Great Holy Dynasty!"
