Chapter 428 I’m Not Going Back to the Capital
"You want to go back now?" Wu Pinghou panicked.
"The crisis of the Black Armor Tiger Division has been resolved, the Northern Di have been defeated, and the food and grass problem has been solved. What else do you want us to do here?" Looking at Wu Pinghou's expression, Ye Buwei wanted to laugh.
"Twenty-one years, a time between life and death. How long have we met, and you're leaving?" Marquis Wuping had the look on his face as if he were a scumbag. "Regent, oh Regent, you truly have a heart of stone!"
Ye Buwei: “…”
"You don't want me to stay here with you, do you?"
"Yes, we were inseparable back then. You must know how much everyone has missed you over the years!"
"No, I don't agree." Luo Qiuyue walked over with small steps and a smile on her face.
"Xiaojiu, I don't agree either!" Little Dumpling hugged Ye Buwei tightly, "It's Xiaojiu's brain! Xiaojiu!"
Ye Buwei looked at the little girl and said, "But Xiaobao, he won't let us go."
Wu Pinghou was desperate to survive and hurriedly shook his head in denial, "Xiao Jiu'er, please understand. I'm not stopping you from leaving, I just can't bear to see you go!"
Xiao Jiuer blinked her big watery eyes and said, "La, come with us! Let's go to Black River City!"
"Oh! How can there be such a cute little kid like you in the world!" Wu Pinghou laughed.
Xiao Jiuer's words touched his heart. He wanted to hug the little dumpling and kiss him a few times. This kid was so considerate.
"Xiao Jiu'er is right, I will go with you!" Wu Pinghou looked at Ye Buwei excitedly,
"Before, I thought you were gone. I had no choice but to work for the court! Now, the court means shit to me! Wherever you are, I will go!"
"Regent, does Black River City want me?"
“It’s a must.”
"Okay! Take me with you!"
"I'll wait for you for half an hour at most." Ye Buwei said, "We have to hurry home for dinner."
"A cup of tea is enough time!" Wu Pinghou strode to the center of the field. "Everyone, please be quiet. I have a few words to announce!"
The soldiers quieted down, but were still busy tying up the prisoners.
"You all saw it, the Regent is back! So I'm going to flee to Black River City!"
The regent's former subordinates all laughed. This was exactly what they were thinking. "Take us with you! We want to join Black River City too!"
"What are you talking about?" Wu Pinghou shouted, "Rebellion against the imperial court will result in the extermination of all nine generations of your clan! Think carefully!"
This sentence made everyone silent. Even if there were no close relatives, they still had to consider the safety of their clansmen.
"You'd better work hard in the Black Armor Tiger Division!" Wu Pinghou said with a smile. "The Northern Di have been severely damaged after this battle, and they won't dare to make trouble for a while! Besides, we have nearly 300,000 prisoners now. If you bring them back to the capital, you will definitely be promoted! It's a win-win situation!"
"My Lord, won't you go back to the capital with us?" The soldiers were stunned.
"Why go back? I won't go back!" Wu Pinghou shook his hands.
"My Lord, are you just going to abandon us like this?" The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. "This is too sudden!"
"What's so sudden? If it weren't for the Regent, I would have quit long ago! I've persisted for so many years because I didn't want to betray the Regent! Now that he's back, why should I continue to work for the Emperor?"
"My Lord, you're not leaving now, are you?" The soldiers were a little panicked. "Is it that urgent?"
I'm totally not mentally prepared at all!
"We must hurry! The capital is a prison to me! I'll leave the rest to you!" Wu Pinghou couldn't suppress his smile. "You just take the captives back to the capital and wait for the emperor's reward! As for me, you can say that Wu Pinghou died on the battlefield and his body is gone!"
"This..." The soldiers were in a state of confusion.
They knew very well what the situation was at the court.
They couldn't even get food and supplies to fight. If the Regent and others hadn't arrived, the Black Armor Tiger Division would have been killed in battle.
Now that Marquis Wuping has also defected to Heihe City, what's the point of them working for the court?
Not to mention that they didn't want to be on the opposite side of the Regent.
But they can't leave now!
"If you really want to join Heihe City, after you have dealt with your family affairs, you can come directly to Heihe City to find Wuping Hou." Ye Buwei said.
The soldiers were overjoyed, "Thank you, Regent!"
"Everyone, tie up all the prisoners of war and set off back to the capital this afternoon!" ordered the deputy general.
"Yes!" The soldiers tied the prisoners tightly.
They couldn't stay there any longer and just wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible to make plans and go to Heihe City as soon as possible.
"My Lord, are you really not returning to the capital?" The deputy general approached. "Someone in the court is colluding with the Northern Di and wants to kill the Black Armor Tiger Division. Are you not going to care about that?"
"Who else could that person be but Prime Minister Du Rulin?" Wu Pinghou sneered. "Du Rulin wants to destroy me and then take on the emperor. I'll just let them fight each other! Why would I care about such trivial matters?"
The deputy general shook his head. "You've always been vindictive and you absolutely loathe the Prime Minister. Now that you have such a powerful weapon in your hands, you actually call it a trivial matter? What does it mean to be in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han? I finally understand!"
"You're right!" Wu Pinghou couldn't stop smiling. "My current mood can be described in four words: I can't wait to go home! I don't care about the court's affairs!"
The deputy general sighed and walked away with envy. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to clean up this mess.
"My father has gone crazy." Zhou Huaining looked dazed. "After seeing the Prince Regent and Xiao Jiuer, my father has never been normal for a moment."
"Son!" As if sensing his gaze, Marquis Wu Ping strode over and said, "The task of moving my family to Heihe City is now up to you!"
"Ah?" Zhou Huaining pointed at himself, "Dad, you don't even want to take care of this?"
"What's the matter?" Wu Pinghou couldn't stop laughing. "Haven't you always been loyal to Black River City? Now that Daddy has joined Black River City as you wished, you won't even do such a small thing?"
"But Dad..."
Wu Pinghou had no time to pay attention to him. He happily ran to find Xiaotuanzi, "Xiao Jiuer, everything is ready. I can go with you! Let's ride the dragon!"
"Great!" Xiao Jiuer shouted "Jiaojiao", and a dragon tail hung down from the clouds.
Marquis Wu Ping's legs were shaking with excitement as he followed Ye Buwei and Luo Qiuyue onto the dragon's body.
Little Dumpling patted the dragon's head, "Jiao Jiao, elbow bang! I want to change my kiss!"
The black dragon nodded and suddenly flew into the sky.
The soldiers below shouted, "Lord Regent, Lord Marquis, we will quickly deal with these trivial matters and go to Black River City to find you!"
