Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 249 General Wei's Concerns

Just as Song Yuan was secretly planning.

The power of the entire border also changed greatly.

After General Zhao followed Wei Da to the border, he immediately took over Zhenbei Pass.

Wei Wushuang was therefore replaced in his position, and returned to his elder brother's territory with a hint of unwillingness.

In Zhenbei City, the two brothers met again. When Wei Wushuang spoke, there was already some worry in his tone.

"Brother, you said that His Majesty arranged for that Zhao man to take my place this time. Could it be that he discovered my private contact with the Crown Prince?"

Your Majesty's arrangement really made Wei Wushuang a little hesitant. If Your Majesty was suspicious of the identities of the two brothers, he should have acted earlier.

At such an important moment, suddenly changing the position of the generals, anyone would probably know that there must be some concerns.

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Wei Wushuang had something to hide, so he naturally felt a little guilty at this moment.

Hearing his brother say this, General Wei glared at him unhappily.

"If you ask me, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! Were you still so confident when you tried to persuade me?"

"What? Are you panicking now? When you first received the letter from the Crown Prince, you should have known that the truth would come out sooner or later!"

"Brother, no matter what, we are brothers. You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Faced with such accusations, Wei Wushuang immediately lowered his head, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"I've already admitted my mistake. I was just too angry at that time. Big brother, you always have a lot of ideas. Can you help me think of a way to get out of this predicament?"

"Alas, with your limited intelligence, you still dare to cooperate with the Crown Prince without telling His Majesty. I think you are simply too audacious!"

Seeing his brother being so disappointing, General Wei shook his head in annoyance.

"Why don't you use your brain and think carefully? If His Majesty really doubted you, you wouldn't be living like this now!"

"Having an affair with the Crown Prince is a heinous crime. Even if it's just a suspicion, I'm afraid they would have sent a large force to take you back to the Imperial City. The fact that you can appear before me means that this matter has not been exposed yet!"

"Stop scaring yourself here and asking for trouble!"

The biggest reason why General Wei was in the mood to joke with his brother was because of this statement.

As he spoke, he looked at the other person and couldn't help shaking his head.

My younger brother is good in every way except that he is too arrogant. Sometimes he can't tell his place.

Just like this time, he accepted it rashly without planning the whole thing out, and never thought about what the outcome of failure would be!

After hearing General Wei's reminder, Wei Wushuang's worry turned into joy. He scratched his forehead with a bit of embarrassment.

"After hearing what Big Brother said, I finally understand. This is indeed the truth. If Your Majesty really doubted me, how could I be so leisurely now!"

"In other words, the reason why that Zhao guy replaced me was really to deal with the barbarians?"

This guy, when he was planning something big with me before, he looked very weird.

Now look what’s happening, you’re pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth.

Why should I act in front of my brother?

Seeing Wei Wushuang's performance, General Wei shook his head and sighed in his heart, and took this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"Your horizons only extend to a small area like the border. I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of anything beyond that!"

"Let me ask you, what is General Zhao's identity? And who is his father? Arranging such a thing for General Zhao, besides for the sake of you and me, is probably more importantly to appease the people behind General Zhao!"

"Don't forget, General Zhao is now a senior official in the Ministry of War. As a veteran, when he first became famous, even I was just a private!"

"Promoting General Zhao now is nothing more than giving General Zhao an explanation!"

"Brother, I don't quite understand what you are saying. What does promoting my son have to do with me?" Wei Wushuang touched his head, his pupils full of confusion.

General Wei was so angry when he saw this that he clenched his fist and hit the other man on the head.

"With your intelligence, you dared to participate in the palace fight before. I think you are simply seeking death!"

"Let me ask you, when two countries are at war, what position is the most important? Ultimately, it's the commander-in-chief! You and I, even though we're guarding the border, our weight alone isn't enough to make us commanders!"

"I'm afraid General Zhao wants to personally lead this army, but unfortunately His Majesty won't allow it. To appease this old minister, he must give an explanation!"

Anyone can see the determination of the Qin Dynasty to deal with the barbarians this time. It is no exaggeration to say that this battle will be won!

Even if it means exhausting the entire national strength of the Qin Dynasty, this time we will invest in it regardless of the cost.

At least from the current situation, the final outcome is 70% to 30%.

Daqin Seven!

In this way, whoever becomes the commander-in-chief will surely become famous through this battle, and his achievements will be immediate and beneficial for future generations.

Presumably, the ambitious bosses in the imperial city are already arguing over this matter, and General Zhao has been eliminated early due to his age, so General Zhao has received this honor.

After all, everyone in his family is a favorite. If the father cannot come to the frontier to make achievements, the son must come here to make a name for himself, right?

Otherwise, if you let others enjoy the good life, will your relatives just have to watch helplessly?

As an insider, General Wei was naturally aware of the requirements for taking charge. First of all, all family members in the mansion must remain in the imperial city.

Otherwise, without any leverage in your hands, how can Your Majesty control others?

Now that General Zhao's son has appeared, it proves that he is destined to not be able to sit in the position of head coach.

Hearing this, and thinking about his previous communication with the prince, Wei Wushuang's eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of worry.

"Brother, I heard that General Zhao is quite close to Song Yuan. Now he is in charge of Zhenbei Guanzhong. If we want to deal with Song Yuan again..."

"It's already come to this, and you're still stubborn?"

Seeing that Wei Wushuang was still entangled in this matter after he said so much, General Wei immediately glared at his brother fiercely.

"Listen to me, from now on, you absolutely cannot mention this matter. Just follow my instructions and do your part!"

"As for Song Yuan, don't ask me anymore. I've already said this, this thing must not happen. No matter what others ask, just say you don't know!"

"Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with us from now on. It all depends on his own luck!"

On the surface, General Wei was warning his younger brother, but when Wei Wushuang heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

The two of them had been brothers for so long that they understood each other's meaning in just an instant.

In Wei Wushuang's opinion, General Wei had clearly made proper arrangements.

In this case, according to General Wei's plan, that kid Song Yuan is probably going to die!

"Brother, I understand. Don't worry, I promise I won't mention the name Song Yuan again!"

Wei Wushuang patted his chest and promised in front of his brother, but halfway through his words, his eyes once again revealed a hint of worry: "Brother, why do I feel that even if His Majesty doesn't know about the conspiracy between the Crown Prince and me, he sent that Zhao guy to replace me. After all, he is still afraid of us two brothers!"

"He's right to be wary. Since ancient times, it's been said that a general on the frontier is not subject to the emperor's orders. Haven't you seen such things often? Which emperor doesn't guard against the generals at the border?"

"Anyway, don't overthink it. Just do your job well and make sure you don't get caught by others. That's the safest thing for me!"

"After you return, you will immediately guard the left wing. You must hold on to the city over there no matter what!"

"Also, I have one more thing to remind you. Winter has already arrived, and the Peacock River will soon freeze over. The section of the river where your enemy is is the narrowest. You must send people to guard it diligently. If the barbarians attack, you must notify them immediately!"

"Don't worry, big brother. I can't guarantee anything else, but I will definitely take it to heart when it comes to leading the troops in battle!"

Facing his elder brother's instructions, Wei Wushuang patted his chest with some solemnity.

The brothers nodded and said goodbye to each other. Looking at Wei Wushuang's receding back, General Wei couldn't help but shook his head.

"This guy has high aspirations but a fragile life. I just hope he can listen to what I say this time and never get into trouble again!"

……

As the weather gets colder, time passes day by day.

On Song Yuan's side, with the assistance of Wei Jianchuan, various tasks were carried out in an orderly manner.

Regarding the defense in the direction of the Peacock River, Huo Jianchuan led the army and divided it into two parts. Every day, they went to the Peacock River to explore under the pretext of forced marches.

Just to be able to discover clues and report them immediately!

Song Yuan is even busier. In addition to dealing with military affairs every day, he also has to be trained by two women!

After this period of practice, Song Yuan has discovered that his physical condition has changed greatly.

But just when his self-confidence was swelling, Situ Jing dealt him a heavy blow.

At this moment, the two were fighting.

But after Song Yuan made his move, after only three short moves, Situ Jing held his neck with the long knife in his hand.

"If you ask me, the technique you're practicing is really not that good. You even claim to be practicing dual cultivation, but it's nothing more than this!"

Seeing this, Situ Jing spoke with a hint of disdain, and while speaking, she did not forget to glance at Jinlian who was standing beside her.

Jin Lian chuckled, knowing that Situ Jing was coming for her, and immediately counterattacked: "When it comes to martial arts training, the so-called He Huan Gong is just a shortcut. No matter what it is, it takes time to hone. You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, so naturally you can't compare to Song Yuan!"

"Otherwise, if you really lose, it only means that you are not good enough in your skills!"

Nothing can escape the words of the oil seller.

It’s nothing special, it’s just a matter of practice!

Especially when practicing martial arts, it requires constant practice and you must hone your body every day to improve your physique.

Song Yuan has only been practicing for a month or so, but his progress is already visible to the naked eye.

If Situ Jing can be captured again, all of Situ Jing's kung fu training will be in vain!

Sensing the provocation in Jinlian's words, Situ Jing glared at her and immediately issued a challenge.

"This guy is no good, but haven't you been practicing martial arts since childhood? You've also been practicing the Hehuan Gong recently. Why don't you compare yourself with me and see who's more powerful!"

Facing Situ Jing's provocative gaze, Jinlian pretended to be weak and spoke.

"Oh, that won't do. I've been so exhausted every night these past two days. This damn man is almost breaking my bones!"

"Besides, I might be pregnant with a royal child. If I were to make a big move at this time, what would I do if the child got hurt?"

"You vixen, you are indeed a perverted thing that seduces people!"

Seeing Jinlian flirting in front of him, Situ Jing spat in annoyance.

Jinlian was not ashamed, but proud of it, and she responded immediately.

"If you ask me, we are all family. What is there to be ashamed of?"

"His Highness has a more beautiful vision than I do. He often tells me in bed that if he can finally capture you, the three of us can sleep together. It'll happen sooner or later anyway, so what's there to be ashamed of?"

"Damn it, you little bastard, you really said that!"

The two people cursed and directly implicated Song Yuan. Looking at Situ Jing's fiery eyes, Song Yuan suddenly shrank his neck.

"I was just talking nonsense. Besides, it's just a dream after all!"

You bastard, how dare you think of such a thing?

If you dare to think about it today, you will dare to do it tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Situ Jing suddenly became extremely sad and angry, and immediately waved his fist and hit Song Yuan!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the personal maid came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess, General Huo is here, and he wants to see you by name!"

"Okay, stop making trouble!"

Seeing this, Song Yuan quickly came to his senses and hugged Situ Jing around the waist into his arms: "I have something important to discuss. Let me finish meeting General Huo first!"

After saying this, she immediately turned around and was about to follow her personal maid.

But how could Situ Jing be willing to give up?

Even Song Yuan had no enemy at all. Without saying a word, the enemy squatted down and threw a snowball at him. The enemy grabbed the clothes on the back of Song Yuan's neck and stuffed it into the opponent's back.

The sudden coldness made Song Yuan scream.

When the simple-minded Situ Jing saw this scene, she laughed so hard that she fell over.
