"These past two days, a group of people who look like beggars have come to the village, burning, killing, and looting, committing all sorts of atrocities."
"They even claimed to be Zhao's Dare-to-Die Corps, saying they came to those villages and towns to avenge their previous great defeat."
Hearing this, Chu Chen's expression immediately turned cold.
"What did you say? A group of villains went to Ge Village and committed evil?"
"They also claimed to be remnants of Zhao's army?"
The Embroidered Guard nodded, then seemed to recall something. "Oh, Prime Minister Chu, they also said that remnants of Wei's army have arrived, and they plan to cause great chaos in Shuangyue City within three days."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen's face became extremely grim.
"Are you sure it's within three days?"
The Embroidered Guard paused, then shook his head. "No, Prime Minister, it should be within two days. Those people said that a group has already arrived."
Chu Chen nodded. "It seems they are entering Shuangyue City in three batches."
The Embroidered Guard nodded. "Prime Minister, what should we do? We must stop them."
"These people are simply evil, devoid of any humanity."
Chu Chen raised his hand and smiled. "Alright, I understand this matter. You may go and rest, and collect your reward from the Embroidered Guard's treasury."
The Embroidered Guard, wanting to say more, said, "Prime Minister, you must seek justice for those villagers. They have suffered such a terrible fate."
Chu Chen smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I will certainly seek justice for them."
"However, I need to investigate further. And since they plan to cause trouble in two days, I will wait until they have all entered the city and then capture them like catching a turtle in a jar."
The Embroidered Guard member, upon hearing this, immediately understood that Chu Chen had a plan and became happy.
"Since the Prime Minister has a countermeasure, I will not say more and will take my leave."
Chu Chen nodded. After the Embroidered Guard left, he immediately bowed to the Empress. "Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
The Empress waved her hand. "You have already defeated two armies, do you still need to ask me how to deal with the remnants?"
Chu Chen smiled slightly. "Since Your Majesty says so, then I will boldly make the decision."
The Empress nodded. Chu Chen pondered for a moment. "Your Majesty, I plan to appear relaxed on the outside while being vigilant on the inside."
"On the surface, we will maintain a harmonious, peaceful, and relaxed demeanor, but in reality, we will be on high alert, carefully investigating who entered yesterday."
"At the same time, we must also screen everyone who enters today and tomorrow."
"Of course, we cannot alert the enemy. When arresting them, it must be done cleverly, like a swift and decisive strike."
"We will detain them separately to prevent them from colluding and devising countermeasures."
The Empress nodded. "This is a good plan, but how will you prevent those people from escaping?"
"Also, didn't you say that Zhao's Dare-to-Die Corps are still causing trouble in other villages and towns? How will we deal with them? They are not like Wei's Dare-to-Die Corps, who are in Shuangyue City where we can catch them."
Chu Chen thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Your Majesty, I just thought of something. Aren't the two armies returning? And their journey is very slow."
The Empress also nodded. "Yes, it's been so long, and they haven't returned yet. Could it be that they haven't encountered Zhao's and Wei's Dare-to-Die Corps?"
Chu Chen smiled. "Your Majesty, these two armies look dejected, and they are still within Yunyue Kingdom's territory."
"Even if those two Dare-to-Die Corps are brainless, they wouldn't dare provoke them."
"Moreover, they have a clear mission to come to our Yunyue Kingdom, so they wouldn't bother with such trivial matters, right?"
"It's likely they wouldn't even recognize these two armies, otherwise, the two armies wouldn't have been able to deceive the people sent by Li Xinyue to investigate."
The Empress nodded, finally understanding.
Then, Chu Chen continued, "Your Majesty, my idea is to immediately send swift horses to find these two armies. On one hand, they will send people to monitor the exits of Shuangyue City."
"After two days, when those people are preparing to disrupt Shuangyue City, we will block the city gates to prevent them from escaping."
"At the same time, they will send another contingent to clear out these Zhao Dare-to-Die Corps."
"They have more people, so even if these Dare-to-Die Corps are scattered in the villages, they can completely surround the villages from all directions."
The Empress nodded, a look of joy appearing on her face.
"If that's the case, then go and do it quickly."
"Although there are many troops in Shuangyue City, they have to deal with Wei's Dare-to-Die Corps and potential domestic rebellion."
"It's truly difficult to spare people to rescue those villagers."
"It's perfect for the two armies to take action."
Chu Chen immediately summoned the Embroidered Guards and instructed them.
Upon receiving the orders, the Embroidered Guard forces immediately mobilized, strictly screening those who had entered the city in the past day.
Anyone found with a different accent was immediately detained.
Of course, while questioning these people, the Embroidered Guards simultaneously guarded the two city gates, not letting any suspicious person leave the city, and detaining them first.
For three full days, all the Wei Dare-to-Die Corps who had entered Shuangyue City were apprehended.
These Dare-to-Die Corps were captured before they could do anything after entering the city and were locked in dark rooms.
It could be said that they were the most aggrieved Dare-to-Die Corps.
At the same time, the Wei Dare-to-Die Corps causing trouble in the villages were also captured.
And the triumphant Yunyue Kingdom armies, having discarded their disguise, revealed their true, majestic military uniforms.
"After being suppressed for so many days, we can finally show our true faces."
"Yes, these Zhao Dare-to-Die Corps were our former defeated enemies who have now helped us achieve merit. This time, they have helped us again."
"Speaking of which, they are truly our lucky stars, it's just a pity they are from an enemy country."
"What if they are from an enemy country? They are still human."
"If we escort them back to Shuangyue City, we will surely receive more rewards."
"I heard that these fellows were almost shot by their own king. It's quite a thought."
A soldier shook his head.
Another soldier looked surprised.
"What's there to sigh about?"
The soldier said helplessly, "We should sigh about our good fortune. Our Empress is powerful, and our Prime Minister is capable, so we won't end up in such a predicament."
"That's true."
The soldiers all sighed with emotion.
On the morning of the fourth day, the Empress ascended the throne, and all the ministers knelt in salute.
After rising, everyone's faces were filled with shock.
They hadn't expected His Majesty to still be alive, and she looked the same as before!
