Throwing away the dirty handkerchief, Chu Yeli brushed his spotless sleeves and left the main tent.
The whole process was silent.
A quarter of an hour later, a soldier came into the main tent to report important matters, and a sharp explosion sounded:
“Oh no!”
"Something's happened to the general!"
The entire army is on alert.
However, it could not save the fact that Wei Pangzhong was already dead.
"What's going on?" Chu Yeli rushed over after hearing the news and saw four deputy generals and Tuoba Mingyue were all there. They looked solemn.
"The general...is dead..."
One cut to the throat.
Clean and neat.
Tuoba Mingyue pursed his lips and said in a cold voice: "Looking at this method, it is intended to kill him with one blow. I wonder what the deputy generals and military advisors think?"
This person must have come prepared to be able to kill people in the center of their military camp without anyone noticing.
A deputy general said angrily:
"It must have been done by the Regent of Great Chu!"
Another deputy general said:
"During today's negotiations, the Regent ordered his men to draw their swords and cut off the palms of our soldiers on the spot. This shows that this man is arrogant by nature and is not sincere in seeking peace."
"good!"
They all suspected the Regent of Great Chu and believed that Great Chu had gone too far and that they must teach Young General Qin a lesson.
One of the lieutenants drew his knife:
"The Great Chu is bullying us so much. I will chop off General Qin's palm and send it to the Great Chu. We Southern Barbarians are not easy to bully!"
“Wait a minute!”
Chu Yeli stopped him.
If Qin Muyu's hand was chopped off, wouldn't Chu Li be furious with him?
"If you injure a prisoner of war, he will lose his usefulness."
The deputy general glared at him and said, "Speaking of which, His Highness Dong Ling grew up in Da Chu. Who knows if you have anything to do with General Wei's death? Maybe you and the Regent of Da Chu colluded to deliberately let our guard down?"
"Deputy General Qi, be careful with your words!"
Tuoba Mingyue stood up.
"Brother Ye Li is someone I value. What good would it do for him if he killed General Wei? Or are you the one who questioned me?"
Deputy General Qi clenched his fists, how could he dare to say anything more?
First, this is just his guess.
Secondly, the eldest princess is the only heir to the royal family and the future heir to the crown prince. Her words carry great weight and no one dares to refute them.
"I dare not!"
Tuoba Mingyue said coldly, "It would be best if you could bury General Wei's body. I will immediately write a letter back to the capital and report to my father."
Chu Yeli glanced at Wei Pangzhong's body, covered his nose with the smell of blood, and left the tent.
"Brother Yeli."
Tuoba Mingyue caught up.
"Your Highness."
Tuoba Mingyue's eyes dimmed. Even though they had known each other for many years, he had always been so distant from her.
"Don't take what Deputy General Qi said to heart. I know that you have an irreconcilable blood feud with the Great Chu. It is impossible for you to join forces with the Regent of the Great Chu."
She was willing to devote the whole country's strength to help him restore his country.
She still remembered that when she was six years old, she accompanied the envoys from the Southern Barbarians to attend a state banquet in Da Chu.
That was the first time she traveled so far away.
The capital of Great Chu was a place of peace and prosperity, with many things she had never seen before. She got lost while playing around and met him.
At that time, the quiet boy was sitting in a wheelchair, feeling broken and distressed.
She used the secret witchcraft of the southern barbarian royal family to heal his leg.
Chu Yeli's eyes were complicated, "The princess trusts me, but I may never be able to repay her gratitude in this lifetime."
"As long as Brother Ye Li is happy, I think it's worth it."
My father said that liking someone is fulfilling their wish.
In the future, when she inherits the crown prince, she will have many husbands, but the Great Chu practices polygamy. How can she force Chu Yeli to live in the harem for her?
Back then, we healed his legs in the hope that he would no longer be confined to a certain place and would be able to fly freely.
If you use favors to hold him back, it is equivalent to transferring him from one restraint to another.
She became the shackles that bound his legs.
Tuoba Mingyue said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early. I will write a letter and present the information here to my father."
She turned and left.
Sudden.
"Ming Yue!"
He called her.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked back and saw the man standing in the dim night. The campfire illuminated half of his face, making it almost impossible to see his expression.
He opened his thin lips, almost silently.
After several seconds, he said:
"It's cold at night, go to bed early."
After saying that, he strode away.
He walked into another tent and opened the curtain, only to see Chu Li squatting on the ground, piecing together the pieces of paper that had long been torn into pieces.
The eyes pierced fiercely.
"Xiao Jiu!"
She is still fighting!
It’s just a love letter, but she cares so much about it!
Chu Li held the shredded paper, the corners of his eyes slowly turning red, "Fifth Brother, if you want revenge, go ahead and take revenge, if you want to restore the country, go ahead and restore the country, can you let me go home? I... I miss my mother."
This is the first time I’ve been so far away from home since I was a child.
The world outside is more difficult and dangerous than one might imagine, especially during these days when one has to live under someone else's roof and has an uncertain future.
Only now did she realize how stable and carefree her life was before.
"I'll take you home."
Chu Yeli strode forward and gently hugged her, "Xiaojiu, let's go home together."
"The home you want to go back to is not where I want to go."
"Xiao Jiu..."
"Just let me be alone and quiet."
She is a little tired.
I don’t even know what I’ll face tomorrow.
Chu Yeli coaxed, "In fact, what the Regent wrote on the paper was a love letter. That's why I was so angry when I saw it."
Chu Li paused slightly.
love letter?
She doesn't believe it.
In this life-and-death situation, the note that Chu Dichi risked handing her must have been important information to help her escape.
"You don't believe it?"
Chu Yeli bent down, squatted at her feet, slowly lifted up her clothes, and changed the bandage on her feet.
"He likes you, Xiaojiu, do you like him?"
Chu Li didn't believe it anymore.
Chu Dichi approached her for the same purpose as Chu Yeli, which was to use her.
He wanted to obtain the imperial power of Da Chu through her.
"Xiaojiu, tell me."
Chu Li supported herself on the bed with both hands, watching the gauze on her feet being peeled off one circle after another, her body tensed up in pain, "I don't like him."
Chu Yeli's eyes showed a slight joy.
"I don't like you either."
It got dark again.
I don't like any of them...
fine.
At least the Regent didn't get any advantage.
