Wen Yirui smiled when he heard Ji Hui's words.
With a carefree smile playing on his lips, he calmly replied, "Then arrest him. With the imperial court and royal family backing us, this young master doesn't believe Feng Xiyan would dare defy the order. If he dares, then you can execute him for treason."
Ji Hui carefully thought about Wen Yirui's words. Thinking that Wen Yirui's reasoning made sense, he made his decision.
After a moment of thought, Ji Hui clasped his fists and said, "Very well. This general will lead the soldiers to Xiqiang City tomorrow."
As a servant refilled his wine cup, Wen Yirui raised it and said, "Then this young master will await your good news, General Ji."
Ji Hui lifted his cup in return, and the two men drank together.
Meanwhile, as the Ji family hosted the banquet, in the faraway imperial capital city of the Yu Empire, the Empress Dowager Wen was furious.
