Pathological Trapping - Chap 119
　Li Dezhuang’s mood can no longer be described with the word “fuck”.
　　Is Mu Jian sick? Or is there something wrong with his brain?
　　Why doesn’t he stay in the capital city? Why does he come here for no reason?
　　This is a battlefield, where you will lose your head if you are not careful!
　　Deputy General Zhao was also shocked.
　　”Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a year, and you are already going to fight in person? Who is in charge of the court?”
　　Liu Zhuangshi said: “It must have been arranged.”
　　Deputy General Zhao stamped his feet, “No wonder the Yi tribe attacked that side first, it turns out they knew where Your Majesty is!” He thought about it and asked from the bottom of his heart: “Is Your Majesty crazy?”
　　”He is a lunatic!” Li Dezhuang walked out angrily, “I will go to Weicheng and ask His Majesty to go back!”
　　That’s a strange thing to say.
　　Deputy General Zhao didn’t understand.
　　”Colonel Ji, you have never met His Majesty. With your position, it is difficult for you to even see His Majesty. How can you get His Majesty to go back? Will he listen to you?”
　　As soon as these words came out, Li Dezhuang, who was walking to the door, stopped abruptly.
　　Liu Zhuangshi, who knew the situation, looked at Deputy General Zhao and wanted to explain, but he knew he couldn’t say it, so he swallowed it back.
　　Li Dezhuang turned his head stiffly, looked at Deputy General Zhao, and pursed his lips, “You are right, I was negligent.”
　　Deputy General Zhao patted his chest and volunteered.
　　”Let me go!” Liu Zhuangshi closed his eyes and said weakly.
　　”Yanmen Pass is still counting on you and me to guard it. If you leave, will you let Brother Ji guard it with me?”
　　He is a staff officer, not a military general.
　　Deputy General Zhao: “Oh, what should we do?!”
　　Liu Zhuangshi said: “Let Staff Officer Ji go with a team of elite soldiers. Go to find His Majesty. Even if we can’t persuade His Majesty to leave, we should stay by His Majesty’s side and protect His Majesty.”
　　Vice General Zhao: “But how can he see His Majesty?”
　　”No problem. I’ll write a handwritten letter saying he went there on my behalf. Your Majesty will certainly meet him.”
　　Liu Zhuangshi walked to the table, sat down, and picked up a pen to write.
　　He finished writing it in a short while, packed it up carefully, and handed it to Li Dezhuang.
　　”I know you’re anxious, but you also need to be safe when you go.”
　　Li Dezhuang nodded.
　　The road to Weicheng is not difficult to walk.
　　Li Dezhuang was a good horseman, so he set out in the morning and arrived in the evening. He took the letter from Liu Zhuangshi and gave it to General Meng’s mansion. After the gatekeeper saw it, he went in.
　　He originally wanted to go straight to Mu Jian, but after thinking about it, he decided to go find General Meng.
　　It was true that he was worried about Mu Jian.
　　But it’s still possible not to meet him, so it’s better not to meet him.
　　So as to avoid bringing into question the complicated relationship.
　　It’s a tangled mess that can’t be sorted out.
　　General Meng had long heard of Staff Officer Ji, Ji Enxu’s name. Now that he could meet the real person, he was naturally overjoyed.
　　He was invited to take a seat, and someone was asked to pour him tea. He kept talking to him about the new weapons.
　　Li Dezhuang responded to him twice, then quickly asked, “I heard that Your Majesty went on a personal expedition?”
　　General Meng’s face turned grim.
　　Although there were only two of them in the room, and Li Dezhuang’s voice was very low when he asked, he still looked around vigilantly.
　　She replied in a low voice.
　　”That’s right. Although our emperor is young, he has done good things for the country and the people since he ascended the throne. He reduced taxes and selected talents. Now, he has even personally collected taxes to recover the Thirteen Prefectures of Youyun. The morale of our army has been greatly boosted!”
　　”When did he come?”
　　”I have been here for half a month. Your Majesty’s whereabouts are secretive, so it has been kept secret from everyone.”
　　Li Dezhuang was shocked, “How did the Yi people know about this?”
　　”We leaked it out.”
　　”Your Majesty, if you show up, people will naturally know about it.” General Meng took a sip of tea, “Your Majesty said that Yanmen Pass is strategically located and is a battleground for military strategists. If a fight really breaks out at Yanmen Pass, it will be a fierce battle with countless lives lost. The nearby Maicheng is a place of food and grass supply, and it cannot be damaged, so the Yi people were lured here.”
　　Li Dezhuang stood up all of a sudden.
　　”Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, how can you be used as bait?!”
　　General Meng was startled by his sudden anger and blinked his eyes, “Your Majesty said that the people are more important than the king. This is nothing.”
　　General Meng comforted him, “Don’t worry. His Majesty is fine, just a little injured.”
　　Li Dezhuang had just sat down when he heard these words and stood up again.
　　”Injured?!”
　　No, what’s wrong with you?!
　　A bunch of people can’t protect Mu Jian? !
　　What’s Mu Jian capable of?
　　He grew up in the cold palace and only started learning martial arts when he was eleven or twelve, so his skills were not good enough at all.
　　Leading the army in person was just to boost morale.
　　Really let him go to the battlefield!
　　General Meng blinked in confusion, “It’s just a minor injury…”
　　”A small injury is still an injury!” Li Dezhuang was so anxious that he turned around and around, “How is your majesty?”
　　”Are you okay? Staff Officer Ji, you’re so anxious, why don’t you go take a look?”
　　Li Dezhuang calmed down immediately.
　　”No need.”
　　Still gone.
　　Li Dezhuang bowed and said, “General Meng, I am here to ask about His Majesty’s condition on behalf of my general. Your Majesty will be relieved if he is fine. I will return to Yanmen Pass at dawn tomorrow. Please do not tell His Majesty that I am here.”
　　General Meng didn’t understand.
　　Now that you’ve come all this way, why don’t you let others know?
　　Although General Meng did not understand, he still nodded in agreement and arranged a room for Li Dezhuang and his group to stay.
　　Before going to bed, Li Dezhuang left most of the elite soldiers he brought with him to protect Mu Jian. The rest would return to Yanmen Pass with him tomorrow.
　　Everything is arranged properly.
　　I know everything I want to know.
　　I didn’t see the people I didn’t want to see.
