Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 389 Encounter on a narrow road



Chapter 389 Encounter on a narrow road

But in just a moment, Murong Lie brought Situ Jing to the military camp in front of Zhenbei City.

Murong Lie's identity as a deputy general allowed the two men to move freely in the military camp. The guards did not stop them at all and let them pass directly when they saw Murong Lie's familiar face.

From such details, it is not difficult to see how rampant the two brothers of the Wei family are.

They had never even thought that there was a possibility that Murong Lie and others would return to the Qin Dynasty!

Even at this moment deep in the military camp, Wei Wushuang, the younger brother of General Wei, still had a hint of pride on his face.

Even half an hour ago, he had heard the report from his subordinates and knew that Song Yuan led his troops to break out.

But in Wei Wushuang's opinion, Song Yuan's actions were nothing more than a last-ditch struggle.

The number of barbarians far exceeds that of the Qin Dynasty. Coupled with the intelligence secretly provided by his eldest brother, it is no exaggeration to say that the 40,000 troops trapped in the border town are now unable to escape!

In Wei Wushuang's opinion, even if Song Yuan struggled hard, he would not be able to escape the fact that he would be arrested in the end.

Without his subordinates informing him of the final result, Wei Wushuang naively thought that Song Yuan and others would never be able to cross the Peacock River.

For a moment, he secretly admired in his heart that if anyone was smart, it would have to be his elder brother!

Under the arrangement of his eldest brother, not only was his mortal enemy Song Yuan eliminated, but with the death of Murong Lie, General Wei undoubtedly became the only choice in the entire Zhenbei Army!

Those generals who were dissatisfied with him had already died on the other side of the Peacock River. From now on, if there was no intention to question him, General Wei could easily control the situation.

Completely reverse the previous decline.

And if General Wei gives it a try, even if His Majesty investigates it, it can be easily explained.

When the time comes, the two brothers will cooperate and just say that Song Yuan was greedy for merit and reckless and did not listen to advice. How could those people who died have the chance to quibble?

By then, won't they just allow me to throw dirty water on them?

Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with this matter, he will not be able to make things difficult for the two brothers without evidence.

Once the matter is over, the two of them will naturally rest easy and wait until the prince ascends the throne. At that time, they will definitely be considered the number one hero!

The status of the entire Wei family will also rise accordingly, and maybe they can suddenly become a figure like the Duke of Protector of the Country!

Thinking of the end, Wei Wushuang's face couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride, and he secretly admired it in his heart.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Feeling proud, Wei Wushuang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt that life was particularly free and easy.

But before he could put the teacup on the table, there was a sudden noise outside the door which was originally quiet.

"You guys..."

Realizing that the noise was caused by the servants in the mansion, Wei Wushuang frowned slightly and immediately stepped over the threshold, unable to resist opening his mouth to complain.

But before he could say a word, two bloody figures rushed out from the crowd!

Situ Jing and Murong Lie, the two of them, took the lead, their bodies covered in blood, holding sabers.

The guards under Wei Wushuang were no match for the powerful attacks of the two men. The two men rushed forward with a clear goal.

Just to capture the leader first and try to capture Wei Wushuang as soon as possible!

Upon realizing the identities of the two, Wei Wushuang's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"You guys escaped, how is that possible?"

It was just a brief moment of distraction, and Wei Wushuang had returned to normal. In the blink of an eye, he had already thought of the outcome of the situation.

The original fear turned into worry, and with a bit of flattery, Wei Wushuang went straight forward. He thought that even if the two of them successfully broke through, they might not know what was going on between him and his elder brother!

I pretended to be accommodating, but as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Can the other party still make things difficult for me?

"General Murong, and Princess Princess, it's great that you two have returned safely!"

Seeing that Wei Wushuang was completely defenseless, Situ Jing couldn't help but blink at this moment. She didn't attack directly, but pretended to be exhausted, her body shook for a while, and finally she was about to fall backwards.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Wei Wushuang noticed Situ Jing's condition and stretched out his hands without saying a word, ready to move forward.

In his opinion, this was a rare opportunity to show his abilities, so how could he miss it?

However, Wei Wushuang never thought that Situ Jing's action was actually a trap, waiting for Wei Wushuang to get close!

When Wei Wushuang was completely defenseless and was about to hold Situ Jing in his arms with his outstretched hands, Situ Jing, who had previously closed his eyes, suddenly trembled, and the hand hidden behind his back pulled out the Tang sword worn at his waist!

锔……

As the knife flashed, Wei Wushuang let out a scream, and a wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible.

The Tang sword even pierced through his body directly. Wei Wushuang was in pain and had a tangled expression on his face. He fell to the ground instantly!

"General Wei..."

When the guards in the city saw this scene, they immediately showed some anxiety on their faces, and everyone rushed forward without saying a word.

At the critical moment, Murong Lie roared, "Are you guys planning a rebellion? Do you know what Wei Wushuang has done?"

"The two brothers of the Wei family colluded with the barbarians and attempted to besiege 40,000 troops in the border city. There is irrefutable evidence of this, and all the generals who have crossed the Peacock River can testify to it!"

"Now, the Wei brothers are equivalent to traitors. If you lend a helping hand, you will be guilty of the same crime!"

"If anyone wants to be accused of rebellion, feel free to do so. Of course, if you know what's happening, everything that happened before you laid down your weapons will be forgiven!"

Murong Lie shouted loudly, and the content of his words immediately stunned everyone present.

Wei Wushuang was in pain, and seeing his men's hesitant reaction, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and defend himself: "Murong Lie, stop slandering me... I think it's you who are rebelling!"

Wei Wushuang covered the wound on his chest and struggled desperately at this moment.

"Brothers, don't listen to them. This guy is planning a rebellion. My eldest brother and I are loyal to each other. How could we possibly rebel?"

"Do you have any conscience at all? How dare you say such things?"

Seeing that Wei Wushuang was still talking nonsense even when he was about to die, Murong Lie was angry and couldn't help but shout.

While speaking, he directly took out the letter that Song Yuan had given him from his arms. The evidence was so solid that Wei Wushuang was speechless.

"Open your dog eyes wide and look at me! This letter is evidence of your brother and your secret dealings with the barbarians!"

"Wei Wushuang, I think you're really too bold. And your elder brother, the court has always been kind to you two. How dare you betray your compatriots?"

"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say? If you dare to quibble again, I'll cut off your tongue first."
