Chapter 337: Good at Living in Debauch

Elder Huang thought An Jiuyue would not go to the capital so soon. To him, the capital was not a good place!

An Jiuyue was reading the Poison Pill Arts when she heard Elder Huang’s astonishing question.

She looked up at him. “Do you have… doubts?”

What’s wrong with going to the capital?

Elder Huang shook his head.

“Young Master, you’ve misunderstood me. I don’t have any doubts. I just don’t think that place is a good place.

“Being in the capital is like landing in deep waters. You’ve been there before, so you must know what the people are like… Young Master, if you really want to go to the capital, I hope you won’t tell anyone who you are. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble,” he reminded her.

She had told him about what happened to her in the capital, and he knew she had already suffered. He was not in the position to criticize that old woman from Prince Zhan Yun’s residence, but he knew she would not trip over the same place twice.

Moreover, these were deep, muddy waters. They would not be able to live in peace if the people in the capital discovered her identity.

“I understand.” An Jiuyue nodded.

Of course, she knew not to let others know her identity.

“I’m not here today for this, Elder Huang. Qian Jiyun is returning to the capital.”

She looked at Elder Huang seriously, articulating each word in her last sentence clearly.

Elder Huang was stunned at first, looking as if he did not understand what she said. He eventually understood her.

Qian Jiyun had guarded the southern border for so many years. It was fine if he left briefly every now and then—he could return quickly.

However, if he was gone for an extended period, especially if he went to the capital, where it would take at least a month to send a letter and rush back, and something happened at the border…

“Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll contact Shen Yan and the other chiefs. I won’t let outsiders set foot on the southern border,” he assured her in a low voice.

“Mhm,” An Jiuyue replied.

“Tell Shen Yan in your letter that he and Qian Jiyun can collaborate and have a mutually beneficial relationship. Although we must still distinguish between the 18 Stockaded Villages and the military, we must band together against outsiders in critical situations.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Elder Huang took her orders.

Shen Yan would understand this better than anyone else.

…

An Jiuyue thoroughly instructed Elder Huang and refined a large number of medicinal pills in the Jade Kite Garden Villa to be well-prepared. She then returned to the military camp and isolated herself to refine medicine.

Meanwhile, in the military camp, Qian Jiyun received an imperial edict from the Emperor.

Qian Jiyun sneered as he looked at the imperial edict in his hand.

That old Emperor was as calculative as ever. He had tried and failed to scheme against him repeatedly but continued to plot new schemes.

“General, what does the Emperor want?”

Deputy General Sun saw Qian Jiyun’s fake smile and knew something was up.

“Who does he want to replace you with this time?” he asked.

Qian Jiyun glanced at him and replied, “Prince De.”

“Pfft!” Deputy General Sun spat.

Prince De?

Even if he had not been in the capital for a long time, he knew what Prince De was like. He was a complete hooligan. He was good at living in debauch and knew nothing about literature, military strategy, or martial arts!

How could the Emperor send a person like him to the border to manage the entire military camp?

“General, the old Emperor clearly doesn’t care about the lives of our 200,000 soldiers. We can’t agree to this. We have to oppose it!”
