Chapter 544: Who are you loyal to?
When Zhao Shen and his men arrived at the outskirts of the Shenwu Army camp, it was already completely dark.
The contact person is waiting there.
Seeing him coming, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, General Wei's daughter is under house arrest. Fang Yi had the courtyard cordoned off like an iron barrel, and told others that the lady was pregnant. He was worried. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't rescue her."
This was within Zhao Shen's expectations.
He ordered, "How strong are the guards?"
The man replied, "Most of them are ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army, with a few experts hidden among them. We have a few subordinates who are more than enough to deal with them."
Zhao Shen knew that Miss Wei was Fang Yi's only bargaining chip to threaten Wei Zheng, so he would definitely keep a close watch on her.
So he said, "Don't be careless. I'll leave a few more people with you. You will hide around the courtyard first. When you receive the signal, take action immediately and make sure to rescue Miss Wei."
The subordinate quickly responded.
Zhao Shen glanced at the night sky and arranged the people he brought with him.
Then, like before, he sneaked into General Wei's yard.
Who would have thought that he arrived just in time and Fang Yi was in General Wei's room.
When Zhao Shen heard the noise inside, he jumped directly onto the roof and found a gap to look down.
In the room, General Wei lay motionless on the bed.
Fang Yi seemed a little anxious. He turned around on the ground and asked angrily, "Where is the military token? If you still refuse to take it out tonight, don't blame me for being disrespectful."
Wei Zheng snorted lightly and said weakly: "You say it as if you are concerned about the relationship now."
Fang Yi's expression was grim. "I'm still coaxing Wei Yun with good food and drink, and I haven't let her know anything. If you hand over the military token, everything will be as if nothing happened. You don't want her to be sad, do you?"
Wei Zheng looked at him for a long time without saying anything, with a conflicted look on his face, as if he was considering whether to listen to him.
Fang Yi knew that what he cared about most was his daughter, so he added, "I didn't lie to you before. She is indeed pregnant. You should know how long she has been looking forward to this child. If she gets hurt at this time and loses the child, she will be very sad."
He had intended to use this to convince Wei Zheng, but he didn't expect the other party to hear the clues. He stared at him sharply and asked, "You have been married for so many years, and she still can't get pregnant. Did you do anything?"
Wei Yun was his only child. Although she was a girl, she was raised as a boy since she was young.
She is good at both studying and martial arts, especially martial arts. If they really fight, Fang Yi is no match for her.
She was not like the average weak woman. She had always been in good health, but she had been married for several years and still could not get pregnant.
He had long suspected that something was wrong, but after consulting several doctors, they all said that his daughter was in good health.
Fang Yi pretended to be too good and kept taking the blame on himself, saying that there might be something wrong with his body and it had nothing to do with Yun'er.
He thought that having a child depended on fate, so he didn't delve into it further.
Now that his daughter is pregnant at this critical moment, he can't help but think about it.
A malicious look flashed across Fang Yi's face. He smiled and said, "Yes, she has taken countless pills over the years to get pregnant, but she didn't know that I had replaced those pills with contraceptives. How could she be so stupid as to bear my child?"
Wei Zheng thought of the suffering his daughter had endured over the years due to infertility, and felt heartbroken: "You... if that's the case, why did you let her get pregnant now?"
Fang Yi said with a look of satisfaction, "Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to blackmail you. She's your only daughter, and the child in her belly is your only possible bloodline. If you don't care, I naturally won't show any kindness."
Wei Zheng looked powerless to struggle, and sighed in frustration: "Who are you loyal to?"
Fang Yi's face lit up with pride. "At this point, I'm not afraid to tell you it's Prince Yong. His Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, and he's been planning for years to finally find this opportunity. Ji Changlin is currently tied up in Mobei, unable to lead his troops to the capital. As long as we capture the capital and force the emperor to abdicate, everything will be settled."
"But besides the Shenwu Army, there are several other battalions guarding the capital. What's the point of only taking over the Shenwu Army?"
Fang Yi looked at Wei Zheng lying on the bed, unable to do anything for him, and felt extremely happy in his heart. He was determined to get the military token tonight no matter what.
Once the military token is obtained, Wei Zheng will be useless.
He had made up his mind and had already treated Wei Zheng as a dead man, so he naturally didn't mind revealing more: "The prince has now controlled the capital, and not even a fly can fly out. The other battalions will not move without the emperor's will. As long as the Shenwu Army helps the prince capture the palace, the overall situation will be settled."
Zhao Shen felt a little relieved when he heard this.
In other words, Prince Yong currently only controls the capital city but has not yet captured the imperial palace. In this case, the emperor should be safe.
Seeing Wei Zheng's face full of despair, Fang Yi said smugly, "You know that all this is useless. It's better to hand over the military token quickly and suffer less."
Wei Zheng moved his mouth, his voice weak: "What are you going to do with me?"
Fang Yi said, "The prince said that the Shenwu Army will be handed over to me in the future. An army cannot have two commanders. Don't you agree?"
Wei Zheng had anticipated this, and his expression remained unchanged. He then asked, "What about Yun'er? She's infatuated with you and is pregnant with your child. Are you planning to kill her too?"
Fang Yi was still threatening Wei Yun to hand over the military token, so he naturally wouldn't directly say that he would kill Wei Yun. He smiled and said, "How could that be? A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. We have been husband and wife for so many years, so I naturally can't bring myself to kill him. If you hand over the military token, I promise that she won't know about these things, and she will still be my wife in the future."
Zhao Shen looked at Fang Yi's hypocritical face and felt impatient.
After hearing this, he knew everything he wanted to know, so he decided not to endure it any longer.
Just as he was about to attack Fang Yi, there was a sudden noise at the door.
The door was pushed open, and a woman with tear marks on her face stood at the door.
Even though Wei Yun was mentally prepared, he still couldn't control his emotions after hearing these words.
The love between husband and wife that I always thought was just an illusion.
Now the dream is shattered, and the fragments have turned into sharp knives that pierce her heart.
The pain made her almost unable to breathe.
But her father lying in bed still needed her, and she couldn't fall down at this time.
Wei Yun barely held himself up, looking at Fang Yi's face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't dream. Even if I die, I will never let my father give you the military command. Let the entire Shenwu Army be charged with treason along with you."
Fang Yi's expression instantly turned cold: "How did you get out?"
He sent a lot of people to watch Wei Yun, but even though they were here, there was still no movement outside. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Wei Yun said coldly, "You've been behaving strangely these days. Not only did you not allow me to see my sick father, but you also sent so many people to guard me. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Come to think of it, she has indeed been stupid these years.
But that was because Fang Yi was pretending before. Now that he stopped pretending, she naturally realized that something was wrong.
