Chapter 236: All of them came back with black hearts
Turning his head and looking at the sparkling river light in front of him, Wei Li said it lightly.
"Fortunately, going into battle to kill the enemy is similar to you guys going out to fight. I was lucky enough to survive."
"We go out to fight in groups. You fight on the battlefield, but no one will always cooperate with you, you little bastard." Su An hit him on the shoulder, knowing that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The tacit understanding between brothers warmed Wei Li's heart.
Fighting on the battlefield is a life-or-death situation.
He witnessed countless people dying on the battlefield and never returning, and no one even remembered the names of those unknown soldiers who died.
He was afraid that just talking about the bloodiness and cruelty of the battlefield would disturb the peace and tranquility before him.
It’s good enough if he is the only one who knows it.
"I went back to the capital to meet Uncle Broken Blade. He's now a spice merchant in Changjing, but he's secretly reconnected with his former subordinates. He told me to tell you that everything is fine, don't worry."
"What about the princess? Is she okay?"
"Princess Changle? She still has a bad reputation in the capital. I haven't had much contact with her, and all I know is hearsay. I only know that the princess's mansion has a high status in Changjing."
"What about you? Are you facing any difficulties while serving in Changjing? If you need any help from me, please don't hide it in your heart and be embarrassed to ask for it. Don't underestimate us, I am also a man of experience."
Wei Li smiled, and hit Su An and Su Wen on the shoulder with his backhand, appreciating their kindness.
"I returned this time by imperial decree." He raised his eyebrows, curling the corners of his lips slightly, and said deliberately, "The emperor ordered me to recapture the land of exile and recruit the three major forces."
Su An's reaction was to roll his eyes.
Su Wen smiled politely, "Does the emperor overestimate your abilities so much?"
The three young men looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Wei Li, "Before I came back, I placed a secret letter next to King Xiu's pillow and gave him a Qingfeng Pill."
“???”
"Grandpa Du gave me this long ago. It's a colorless, odorless, slow-acting poison. It makes you feel refreshed, but your internal organs will slowly fail, and you'll die suddenly six months later. The Cui family has fallen on hard times, and the Emperor has been reluctant to appoint the eldest prince, Prince Xiu, as Crown Prince. The Empress and Prince Xiu have long since turned their backs on him and only hope for his swift demise. If they knew the Emperor intended to appoint someone else as Crown Prince, they wouldn't sit idly by and wait for death. They'd better take the risk."
“????”
"In three months, Prince Xiu and the Queen's plot to poison the Emperor will be exposed. By then, Changjing will be in chaos, and that will be the time for me to return."
Four heads tilted in front of him, their eyes full of question marks.
The young man raised his lips, his smile calm and cold, "Let's go back and purge the emperor's court, eliminate the villains, and send the emperor on his way."
At that time, the battlefield of Changjing really began.
Tian Bao looked at him and said calmly, "You just returned to the capital not long ago. In terms of official rank and qualifications, it is not yet your turn to take the lead in taking charge of the overall situation. How can you seize the leading position from other veteran officials?"
Wei Li tilted his head and opened his thin lips, "Using the identity of a prince, it is legitimate."
"Even if you are a prince, you are still a criminal. The Duke of Wei's Mansion has never overturned the verdict."
"What if I am the only prince left in Dai Viet? The royal family's succession to the throne requires legitimacy. When my mother and the Duke of Wei got into trouble, I was still young and innocent. This will be enough."
After seven years of operation, he has more than just these cards up his sleeve.
All the planning is for the last moment.
Emperor Hongde has committed so many evil things that even if only a portion of the evidence is exposed, it will be enough. Then, people all over the world will tend to believe whatever he says.
By that time, there would be no need to verify the innocence of my mother and the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
He has the final say on right and wrong.
Wei Li looked at the distant sky with indifferent eyes.
The laws of this world are set by those in power.
The four heads retracted and stared at the river with expressionless faces.
Sure, Wei Li.
He sowed discord, reaped the benefits, and finally took advantage of others.
It's all calculated.
If you are a little less wicked, you can't do it.
"You guys are still sitting here, your leisurely attitude would make Su Wu so angry that he would jump up and down." Bai Yu's ruffian voice came from behind them, "Just got the news from Wangque Tower, that kid is surrounded at the Yuncheng Wharf. I wonder if he has jumped into the river yet."
The five people turned around, "..."
How did you remain so calm when you heard that your brother was going to jump into the river?
In an instant, several teenagers by the river disappeared, leaving behind a seven-year-old girl stomping her feet and yelling, "Take me with you! I can fight too! Ahhh, I'm so angry!"
The little girl went home crying and complained.
There was another person squatting in Xiao Su's yard, holding his head with his hands and suffering from a headache.
It keeps going on day after day, why can’t the fight be stopped?
Yuncheng is near the border town. It takes more than two hours to get there by boat from the branch on the opposite side of Qinghe River.
Before the boat even docked, one could see figures floating on the dock, all of them were government officials and soldiers in uniform.
A figure in front of the officers and soldiers was jumping up and down very flexibly, without any breath or fatigue. It was unknown how long he had been jumping, and he was leading the officers and soldiers to fly kites in a large area inside and outside the dock.
Dodge, run and fight at the same time.
There was not a single ordinary citizen in the venue, as they had already left early. No boats approached the dock, as they were moored far away.
"Are you tired? How about a break?" The young man turned over, grabbed a spear, and threw it back, his voice a little hoarse. "Honestly, gentlemen, you really don't have to work so hard. You only get three coins and a half ounces of salary every month, but all you do is risk your life. How worthless is it? Why not pretend you don't see me, go to the tavern on the dock, have a drink, and report back. It's normal that you can't catch me. Can the government still punish you for this? That would be too difficult for you!"
The sound of a transport ship breaking through the waves arrived.
The young man turned around and saw several very familiar people standing on the bow of the approaching boat. His eyes lit up, "You are too slow to come. I have been fighting for a long time!"
Bai Yu lazily leaned against the side of the boat and laughed, "I can't tell you're tired."
"My voice is hoarse. Fighting isn't tiring, but talking is! What's the point of watching the fun? Come and help!"
Su An laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry. I heard that you have been doing quite well in the martial arts world over the past year. Let's see if you have made any progress. Fight seriously."
Su Wen nodded seriously, "That's quite true."
Su Wu was furious. "You bastards, you all came back with black hearts after running around outside!"
Tian Bao put her hands on her hips and criticized, "If you curse, let's go back."
"..." Su Wu was about to cry, "Stop playing with my little aunt. I've been chased for a whole day and night. Can you let me rest for a while?"
Several people on the boat burst into laughter and jumped onto the dock.
The officers and soldiers paused and retreated subconsciously.
After the men who had come ashore carried the young man, who had begun to play dead, back to the boat, the officers and soldiers rushed to the dock again and shouted, "Stop! Don't run!"
Su Wu didn't feel tired while fighting, but when he stopped, he realized he didn't have the strength to move his feet anymore. The young man raised his hand and waved, "Goodbye."
