Chapter 161 Disdain

General Ji?

Upon hearing Lü Xinyan address him in this way, Ji Yuzhang's expression instantly changed, and he looked at Lü Xinyan with sharp eyes, as if trying to understand Lü Xinyan's thoughts and intentions.

He didn't know how Lü Xinyan recognized him, but given all the disguises he had put on, the fact that this young stranger recognized him at a glance was clearly not simple.

At least for the time being, he did not know whether Lü Xinyan was friend or foe, or what her purpose was in coming here. He did not know what the other party was plotting. This made Ji Yuzhang more and more vigilant, and he did not want to fall into the other party's trap without careful planning.

Even though Lü Xinyan had helped him deal with those black-clad guards, Ji Yuzhang dared not be careless because it concerned his secrets and the related mission.

He wasn't very famous, and this time when he went out on a mission, he put on a series of disguises, making him completely different from before. Ordinary people wouldn't recognize him.

It was precisely because of this that Ji Yuzhang was ambushed and attacked by those black-clad guards here. That's why he felt something was wrong and wanted to know if there was an inside traitor who had leaked his whereabouts.

In addition, the young woman who came this time recognized his true identity at a glance, saw through his disguise, and saw that he was currently poisoned and injured. This left Ji Yuzhang somewhat at a loss, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

However, Ji Yuzhang tried his best to remain calm and not show any unusual behavior.

Looking at Lü Xinyan, Ji Yuzhang remained silent for a moment before asking, "Does this young lady recognize me?"

This was his first time passing through Luzhou, yet he had been subjected to so many ambushes. Ji Yuzhang had already guessed that his whereabouts had been leaked long ago and were no longer kept secret. Furthermore, the other side had arranged these ambushes and assassinations, intending to take his life here.

As for the young woman in front of him, Ji Yuzhang couldn't figure her out. He didn't know her background or purpose, so he could only try to find out for the time being.

As for Ji Yuzhang's obvious question, Lü Xinyan simply nodded and smiled slightly, replying, "What General Ji likes most is the soft sword at his waist, and he also likes to wear wolfskin boots from the Northern Barbarians. It was through these things, as well as the Ji family sword technique that General Ji just used, that I recognized General Ji's identity."

"If I hadn't known all this, I probably wouldn't have been able to see any flaws in General Ji's disguise."

"However, this time I was able to help General Ji and prevent these black-clad guards from succeeding in their plot to kill him. My efforts this time have not been in vain."

This Ji Yuzhang didn't even do a proper disguise, leaving such a big flaw. No wonder he was discovered by those black-clad guards and continued to be hunted down.

It's unclear whether Ji Yuzhang did this intentionally, but if he didn't even consider these factors, then this dangerous situation was entirely his own doing.

Of course, Ji Yuzhang's whereabouts must have been leaked, which allowed these black-clad guards to find him so accurately that he almost lost his life.

Ji Yuzhang was a junior general in the Zhenwei General's Mansion, and his role was crucial to the overall battle situation on the front lines. This time, he was involved in some secret missions and the battle situation on the front lines, which naturally made him an eyesore for many people. They went to great lengths to expose some secret informants in order to put Ji Yuzhang to death.

This was a matter of great importance. On his way to Luzhou, Lü Xinyan thought of this matter and intended to help.

However, Lü Xinyan did not know the exact time and place of the incident, nor did she know where Ji Yuzhang had died. She could only walk around and hope that she would be lucky enough to run into him.

Fortunately, she actually encountered this situation here and managed to save Ji Yuzhang in time, thwarting those people's conspiracy.

As long as Ji Yuzhang can live a good life, then the Yuan family's plans will not be able to be realized.

Of course, when Lü Xinyan encountered Ji Yuzhang this time, she also pointed out some problems with Ji Yuzhang's disguise, hoping that Ji Yuzhang would pay more attention to his disguise when he went to carry out any secret missions in the future.

Ji Yuzhang is a very important person to the Great Liang, and Lü Xinyan hopes to be able to help him.

Upon hearing Lü Xinyan's words, Ji Yuzhang was somewhat surprised.

Looking down at the soft sword at his waist and the wolfskin boots he was wearing, Ji Yuzhang couldn't help but twitch his lips.

These two things are indeed what he likes very much.

Especially the soft sword at his waist, a familiar means of self-defense, one of his trump cards for survival.

He had already hidden the soft sword in his belt, making a good disguise, but unexpectedly, Lü Xinyan still discovered it and used it to confirm his true identity.

This situation was indeed very frustrating for Ji Yuzhang, but he had to admit that Lü Xinyan was really capable and meticulous, able to discover these problems and find the important clues he wanted.

Others missed these details, but Lü Xinyan noticed them after only a short while and gleaned more important information from them.

His true identity was discovered just like that, and the other party even said it so openly, which made Ji Yuzhang feel a little embarrassed.

The danger he encountered this time was not only due to the leak of his whereabouts, but also because his own disguise was not thorough enough, which led to many problems. It was quite normal for him to be discovered by the other party.

However, noticing the fleeting look of disdain in Lü Xinyan's eyes, Ji Yuzhang's lips twitched helplessly.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by a peasant girl!

Of course, the fact that the other party has seen through all his problems is also his own fault.

Moreover, the other party was not an ordinary peasant girl; her skills and methods far surpassed his. She easily dealt with so many black-clad guards and directly pointed out his problems, which made him truly concede defeat.

This time, it was thanks to this person that Ji Yuzhang was able to save his life from so many black-clad guards and have so many problems pointed out to him. Ji Yuzhang was very grateful.

The other party was so capable and pointed out his problems directly, so there was nothing that could be done about it; he himself had indeed not done a good enough job.

Because of what Lü Xinyan said, Ji Yuzhang actually relaxed a bit.

At least, the other party probably didn't come specifically to kill him.
