Chapter 286 Suspicion



"Alright, stop arguing."

Kuanglong Xuanyuan gave the two men a deep look and said in a deep voice, "It's good that you were able to escape back. Have someone prepare some wine and dishes to welcome you two brothers back."

Food and wine were brought into the tent, but Chu Qiu and Huang Qi had no appetite for them.

Huang Qi was angry because he had been wronged, while Chu Qiu was worried that Huang Qi's betrayal of his brothers would be exposed.

"Tell me, brothers, how did you escape from there?"

"I am the Mad Dragon Xuanyuan," he asked.

Chu Qiu looked conflicted, unsure how to explain the situation. Should he embellish the story and make their escape seem more difficult, so it would appear more plausible?

However, Huang Qi had already told the whole story first, without embellishment or exaggeration.

After a moment of silence, Kuanglong Xuanyuan said, "Brothers, you two caused a great disturbance in the Zhenwu Hall's prison. It seems that the Zhenwu Hall will have a headache for a while. You have done a great service."

"Alright then, you all go back and rest first, and we'll set off to attack the capital tomorrow."

Huang Qi asked in surprise, "Why wait until tomorrow? Shouldn't we take this opportunity to quickly advance into the capital?"

Kuanglong Xuanyuan casually said, "Since Yang Sheng has already fought with us, he must have made some arrangements ahead. It's best to be careful for now."

Seeing that Kuanglong Xuanyuan was unwilling to say more, Huang Qi simply pulled Chu Qiu away.

The remaining people did not leave, but instead turned their gaze toward Kuanglong Xuanyuan.

They knew why Kuanglong Xuanyuan had suddenly changed his attack plan.

He was afraid that Chu Qiu and Huang Qi would betray him and reveal their attack plans and other information to Yang Sheng, so he had to make a last-minute change to avoid falling into their trap.

Yuanjue touched his bald head and asked hesitantly, "Second Master, do you think Huang Laoqi and Chu Qiu will really betray us?"

Someone immediately sneered, "Why is it impossible? They're not on our side. They've never called Zuo Yuan 'brother' in all these years!"

Even if their brother gave them his heart, to them, their only true leader was still Chu Tianfang!

Some of the more level-headed people said, "We don't have any evidence right now, so it's not a good idea to suspect our own brother like this."

What if this is a deliberate attempt by Yang Sheng to sow discord? I think we should be more cautious.”

The crowd argued endlessly, and all eyes turned to Ka Kuanglong Xuanyuan.

Kuanglong Xuanyuan rubbed his head and sighed.

He excels at battlefield combat, but he's really not good at this kind of thing.

"To be honest, I don't want to believe that Huang Laoqi and Chu Qiu would betray their brothers."

But their escape was far too easy and too mysterious.

Yang Sheng's strength is extremely high. I knew this from my fight with him yesterday. His strength is unfathomable. No wonder he was able to kill the White Lotus Saintess.

How could someone like that be so careless when setting up a prison? If it were me, I would break their limbs and cripple their cultivation first.

They escaped so easily; anyone would be suspicious.

Kuanglong Xuanyuan was also helpless; he had no evidence, but he dared not trust them so easily.

Therefore, they had to temporarily change their attack plan, and even the attack positions of their subordinates were changed.

Originally, there were sixteen bandits, each in charge of several thousand elite soldiers under their command, and each with their own main attack direction.

Now, with Kuanglong Xuanyuan's changes, things are in a bit of a mess.

Moreover, he felt that Chu Qiu and Huang Laoqi's men were not suitable to be placed anywhere, so in the end he had no choice but to put them in the very center.

That way, if they dare to rebel, we can immediately suppress them.

Huang Qi and Chu Qiu didn't notice anything at first, but as Kuanglong Xuanyuan acted and the other thirty-six bandits looked at them with different eyes and attitudes, even an idiot would realize that something was wrong.

"What the hell is this?!"

In the dead of night, Huang Qi drank a bottle of wine in one gulp, then cursed loudly with a frustrated expression.

"They're all wary of us brothers. They all think we've betrayed them. Should we have never come back? Should we have died in the Zhaoyu prison for them to be satisfied and at ease?"

At this moment, Huang Qi truly wished he could die in the Zhaoyu prison.

After he returned, everything he encountered was so frustrating that he wanted to kill someone.

Chu Qiu looked at Huang Qi with a hoarse voice: "Seventh Brother, are you still going to hide something from me? You really didn't side with Yang Sheng?"
