Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 417 Forced to Help

Dugu Xin was so furious when he witnessed this scene that he almost cursed his mother.

His order was to surround Song Yuan.

But now look at the appearance of his subordinates?

Is this called encirclement?

This is clearly the moon surrounded by stars!

Even Dugu Xin wondered if Song Yuan's words would cause these guys to turn against him and turn their attacks against him instead?

At that moment, Dugu Xin stood there and stomped his feet repeatedly, but when Murong Lie saw this, he immediately came forward and sneered.

"Brother Dugu, if you ask me, things have become like this. After all, there are some things you can't force! I just don't believe it. Do you dare to attack the two of us just because the prince and I are standing here today?"

"To be frank, even if the prince and I were to stick our necks out today, you can ask, is there anyone here who would dare to draw a knife on us?"

Even if Song Yuan has now replaced General Wei, when it comes to judging his crimes, who else has the qualifications?

As a royal relative, who else can say that Song Yuan is a traitor, except Your Majesty who says he is guilty?

Even if Dugu Xin wanted to take action against Song Yuan, he didn't dare to do so. The most he could do was to have this prince's life detained and transferred to the imperial city. The outcome would depend on the decision of His Majesty.

However, even though he knew in his heart that what Murong Lie said was not true, in front of so many people, Dugu Xin still acted like he was filled with bitterness and hatred.

"General Murong, please stop trying to get close to me. After all, I am General Wei's subordinate. But what have you done now?"

"You led your troops to surround General Wei in Tianshan City. When you did this, did you ever consider the relationship between us?"

"No matter what, I am also General Wei's subordinate. This time, I have done my utmost by not attacking you!"

"Dugu Xin, do you really have to keep making trouble here? The Wei guy has already rebelled, so are you going to follow him all the way?"

Seeing that Dugu Xin had clearly made up his mind to rather die than surrender, Murong Lie frowned slightly and suddenly shouted.

"We want to arrest him, so we must have a reason. Otherwise, how could we dare to act so recklessly?"

"reason?"

Upon hearing Murong Lie's explanation, Dugu Xin's face suddenly darkened.

"General Murong, now that you've said this, I advise you to stop pretending. You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Don't think I don't know that there's a long-standing feud between General Wei and the prince!"

"I see that what you are doing is clearly an attempt to rebel, so what other excuses do you have?"

"Do you really have to be so blunt here? Don't forget, no matter what, we are all from the Great Qin. Now the entire border is under our control. A conversation between you and me is likely to cause unrest. You should at least consider the consequences, right?"

Seeing Dugu Xin speaking frankly at this moment, Murong Lie frowned, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If you really have a brain, then think carefully. If the prince and I really rebelled, do you think we would bring over a hundred cavalrymen to Zhenbei City?"

"I'm afraid that by then, there will definitely be a scene of a massive army approaching. That would be true rebellion!"

"We're here today to make sure you understand our sincerity. If we can explain some things, perhaps the misunderstanding between us can be resolved."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Dugu Xin could respond, many people around him nodded secretly.

They had already witnessed the prince's broad mind before. Although he was a prince, he did not put on airs at all.

Just based on this action, does it mean he is rebelling?

Who is rebelling with more than a hundred people?

I'm afraid it's not funny enough!

Such a scene naturally did not escape Dugu Xin's eyes. After noticing such details, Dugu Xin felt like he was about to vomit blood.

"I've already said that there's nothing much to talk about between us. In short, I won't say a single word to you until His Majesty's will is conveyed!"

"Alright, alright!"

As the conversation went on, the atmosphere between Murong Lie and Dugu Xin gradually became awkward. Song Yuan, who had been standing aside in silence for a long time, suddenly stepped forward.

Under the gaze of everyone, the prince just smiled and waved his hand.

"You have nothing to do here. After all, this is a problem for us high-ranking generals. Go wherever you need to go!"

"Once this matter is over, anyone who wants to drink can come find me. What I said before will still work!"

After Song Yuan said this, the people around him actually listened to him and retreated immediately.

Witnessing such an ending, Dugu Xin couldn't help but smile and shook his head. The originally solemn atmosphere was also relieved a lot at this moment.

At this moment, Dugu Xin had already faced the reality. Song Yuan had arrived in Zhenbei City in just a short while, but he had already won the support of many soldiers.

Otherwise, why would the people around him listen to him?

Just based on Song Yuan's actions, he has now gained the upper hand in the negotiations, and even his subordinates obey him.

What capital do I have to communicate?

Thinking of this, Dugu Xin felt a little bitter in his heart.

At this point, it was already lucky for Dugu Xin that Song Yuan did not turn around and capture him. If he continued to resist, it would only make things worse in the end.

Thinking of this, Dugu Xin spoke directly to Song Yuan with a bit of sadness.

"Your Highness, do you have anything to say? Why not just speak up? I'll take it all in here!"

"It just so happens that you have such an awareness. Why not take a look at this letter?"

When Song Yuan heard this, he handed a letter directly to Dugu Xin without saying a word.

Dugu Xin was a bit confused. He took the envelope in his hands, tore it open, and a look of unwillingness suddenly appeared in his pupils. He murmured.

"Impossible! This absolutely cannot be the general's notes!"

"You guys forged the general's notes and wanted to frame him by writing on a piece of paper. Do you really think I can't see it?" What he saw before him aroused Dugu Xin's doubts.

Murong Lie was the first to raise the money and nodded with some sadness.

"To be honest, General Dugu, when I first saw this letter, even I couldn't believe it was true. But sometimes the facts are right in front of you, and even if you don't believe it, you can't help yourself!"

"This letter was personally given to His Majesty by that Barbarian Princess. It shows the entire Zhenbei Army's defense line, as well as the original route for transporting food and fodder!"

"Think about it yourself. Under those circumstances, who else besides General Wei could have so many clues?"

"Who else but he who wrote this letter knows its contents?"
