"Mr. Chen!"
Ji Jingyu hurried forward, bent down, and made a deep bow.
Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reached out to help him up, "Captain Ji, what is this?"
"Yesterday Tiandu City suffered a great calamity. If it weren’t for Mr. Chen’s intervention, none of the city’s people would have survived, and the era of Da Yuan would have ended here as well!" Ji Jingyu said seriously, "This life of mine was given by Mr. Chen. Such great kindness and virtue, I can never repay!"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Captain Ji, you’re exaggerating. I should thank you instead. At the critical moment, thanks to you and your men guarding the palace, I was able to act without worries."
Ji Jingyu lowered his head and said, "It was simply my duty, nothing worth mentioning."
Chen Mo looked at the man before him, his eyes full of admiration.
Yesterday, Ji Jingyu not only arrived in time but also followed his instructions without any doubt, which was admirable.
With Sikong Che’s death, the balance of power between the two factions was disrupted. The court will surely face a major reorganization, and it’s time to form one’s own team.
Chen Mo pondered briefly and then said, "It’s been some time since Gao Yuheng’s unexpected death, and the position of commander of the Divine Strategy Army cannot remain vacant forever. In my opinion, Captain Ji’s virtue and position match the role, and given the opportunity, I will of course recommend you to the Empress."
!!
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingyu trembled slightly.
Although the words ’Captain’ and ’Commander’ differ by just one character, the difference is vast!
That would make him the top leader of the Divine Strategy Army, a pivotal position, and a key military official of the current court!
Given Chen Mo’s standing with the Empress, his words made this matter almost certain!
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Ji Jingyu cupped his hands again and said in a solemn voice, "From now on, I am yours. If you do not disdain me, I am willing to serve you loyally, like a faithful dog or horse!"
As a military officer born in the army, Ji Jingyu has always been forthright and never stoops to curry favor or engage in manipulation.
Over the years, despite the enticements from both factions, he remained indifferent. Otherwise, with his abilities and achievements, he would not have always been overshadowed by Gao Yuheng.
His sudden show of loyalty to Chen Mo was not just for career development but more out of admiration and respect.
Setting aside his past achievements, yesterday Chen Mo first stormed into the Golden Throne Hall and exposed the ’fake emperor’, then slew the Black Dragon, broke the Blood Evil Array, and displayed divine skills to save millions...
Each of these feats is enough to be immortalized in history, worthy of being honored in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Thinking back on his godlike prowess, Ji Jingyu still feels his blood boiling. Which general doesn’t wish to accomplish great deeds and become a minister revered like a dragon?
Now, with the throne vacant and the nation’s future uncertain, the future of the Great Yuan Dynasty hangs in the balance.
But one thing was clear to Ji Jingyu...
The future of this country certainly rests on Chen Mo!
"Ahem, Captain Ji, be cautious with your words. We are all serving the court, and if others hear, they might think I’m forming cliques for personal gain." Chen Mo cleared his throat and said.
Ji Jingyu realized and quickly nodded, "Mr. Chen is right, I misspoke earlier."
