Yu Chuyang handed over a secret document, "Your Highness, Jizhou's secret sentinel came to report that multiple landslides occurred in the west mountain area of Jizhou Ridge, causing at least 100 deaths and injuries."
Qi Jue received the secret report, read it quickly, and then turned to look at the military map hanging on the wall.
“The terrain of Lingxi Mountain is complex, with steep mountains and flat hills, and lush vegetation. Landslides have rarely occurred for hundreds of years.
Since it has caused more than a hundred casualties, it is considered a large-scale accident, but the court has not received any news so far. It seems that it was suppressed by the local officials. There is a lot of trouble in this."
Yu Chuyang was a little puzzled: "Looking at the situation in the past three months, at least two landslides occurred within a month. The casualties will definitely increase sharply in the long run. The local officials were able to conceal it for a while.
But once the incident comes to light, not only will the black gauze hat be saved, but also the head will be lost, aren't they afraid?"
"Let Tingfeng Pavilion go and check. Apart from the landslides in the Lingxi Mountain area, if there are any changes in the local government in Jizhou, report all the details."
Just as Yu Chuyang was about to answer, someone hurried in from outside.
"Your Highness is in trouble. Miss Yan wants to challenge Commander Ji to a duel, and my subordinates can't stop her at all!"
Qi Jue's expression changed slightly, he stopped talking and strode out of the military tent.
At this moment, Ji Jingxue had fully drawn the bowstring, and when he let go, a long arrow flew out, heading towards Yan Mingzhu's back!
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. Although the arrow was blunt, at this flying speed, it would be very painful to hit people.
But just when the long arrow was only a short distance away from Yan Mingzhu's back, Yan Mingzhu suddenly tilted his body, leaning to the right, half hanging on the horse!
The horse was still running wildly, and she was half hanging. If she was not careful, she would fall off. This was a very difficult move.
The long arrow passed by Yan Mingzhu's shoulder at this moment, but the arrow did miss!
Yan Mingzhu turned around and got back on the horse again, but this time with her back to the other side, she put the arrow on the bowstring, drew the bow to full length, listened carefully, and shot an arrow cleanly!
The long arrow was aimed at Ji Jingxue's face, but within half an inch of the distance, Ji Jingxue turned her head sideways and successfully dodged it.
This arrow can be regarded as a draw.
However, Ji Jingxue began to take it seriously. This woman had good archery skills and should not be taken lightly.
With this thought in his mind, Ji Jingxue drew the bow string again, and without giving Yan Mingzhu a chance to react, he shot out another arrow!
But this time Yan Mingzhu did not dodge, but also set up an arrow at the same time, and shot it almost at the same time as Ji Jingxue, with the two arrows flying towards each other.
In the next moment, they collided together. The fierce friction caused the two arrows to be cut from the middle and broken into two halves!
This requires very deep skills to be able to do it!
While the soldiers were still sighing at this arrow, Ji Jingxue had already drawn two more arrows.
All the soldiers in the military camp knew that Ji Jingxue was best at double arrows. He could control the direction of the arrow's flight with his internal strength, making the opponent unable to retreat.
Each of them has five arrows. Once Ji Jingxue shoots these two arrows at the same time, he will have no arrows. If he fails to shoot, he will lose the round.
But obviously, Ji Jingxue dared to use the last two arrows at the same time, which showed that he was confident about the outcome and ensured that Yan Mingzhu would never be able to escape this time!
Loosening the string, two long arrows flew out at the same time, attacking from both sides, making it absolutely impossible for Yan Mingzhu to avoid it.
Yan Mingzhu loosened the reins, jumped up, pointed his toes on the horse's back, and at the same time set an arrow, loosened the string, and shot the long arrow, which violently collided with the arrow flying from the left.
But at the same time, the arrow flying from the right was approaching Yan Mingzhu's lifeline!
Yan Mingzhu immediately turned around, and when the arrow barely scratched her cheek, she put on the string and shot the last arrow!
Ji Jingxue heard a bang and thought Yan Mingzhu had been shot and fell off the horse. Just as he was about to take off the ribbon on his face, he suddenly felt pain in his left chest.
A huge force hit his heart, causing him to fall off the horse!
At the same time, Yan Mingzhu also left the horse's back because she jumped too high. The horse had already run out, and she lost her fulcrum and fell down.
However, she knew that she had already shot Ji Jingxue, so even if she fell off the horse, Ji Jingxue had lost. If she fell, she would roll on the ground twice at most.
Just as she was thinking this, a long, strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her around in a big spin in the air.
At the same time, he used his other hand to protect the back of her head, so that her whole head was pressed against the other person's chest in a protective posture.
Because the distance was so close, Yan Mingzhu could even clearly hear the strong heartbeat coming from the other person's chest.
At the same time, a faint fragrance of cold sandalwood spreads on the tip of the nose, bringing with it a sense of peace of mind and soul.
When he landed firmly on the ground, Qi Jue immediately checked, "Are you injured?"
Before Yan Mingzhu could move, Qi Jue had already raised his hand to untie the ribbon around her eyes.
The sudden light that penetrated her eyes made Yan Mingzhu narrow her eyes in discomfort.
The next moment, she saw clearly the man's handsome face close at hand.
However, at this moment, Qi Jue's face was dark and his brows were furrowed, obviously suppressing his anger.
Oops, he just wanted to have a showdown with Ji Jingxue, so he didn't dare to underestimate the woman's ability. He forgot that Qi Jue had specifically told her not to use force.
Turning around, she not only used force, but also had a difficult and high-risk competition.
Yan Mingzhu was just about to say it was okay when the man's warm fingertips had already brushed against her right cheek.
A slight sting caused her to close her right eye involuntarily, and at the same time, Qi Jue's face turned completely gloomy.
"Ji Jingxue, do you completely ignore my words?"
Ji Jingxue had just been helped up by the soldiers. When she heard Qi Jue's accusation, she ignored her injuries and immediately knelt down, bowing her head and admitting her mistake: "Your humble position deserves to be punished, please punish me!"
Qi Jue directly called Ji Jingxue's full name, which was enough to show that he was very angry at the moment.
Ji Jingxue has been following Qi Jue as a companion since she was a child. She is said to be a subordinate, but more like a brother.
Therefore, when Qi Jue called him by his first name, it meant that he had really violated his bottom line this time.
"Take him down and whip him a hundred times!"
When Yu Chuyang, who was following him, heard this, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please calm down. Commander Ji made a mistake, but if you give me a hundred whips, I'm afraid someone will die. Your Highness, please consider that Commander Ji has been following you for many years."
For my sake, I’ll be given a lighter sentence!”
The soldiers also knelt down and begged for Ji Jingxue's mercy.
