Yang Gu felt a chill run down his spine and his heart pounded. He didn't know how to describe his current state of mind.
His face flushed red with anger, and his feet went cold with fear.
However, after hearing Yuwen Sheng's explanation, Yang Gu, no matter how hard he found it, no longer believed that the other party's claim of "being kidnapped by his wife" and fighting his way to the enemy country was a complete lie.
Even if this were true, Yang Gu was unwilling to believe that this reason was Yuwen Sheng's original intention in attacking the city.
With his demonic and ruthless appearance, he doesn't seem like a sentimental person at all. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the emotions of a normal person!
But since this matter has arisen, he can only continue asking questions to find out the details.
"You keep saying that your wife was kidnapped, so General Yuwen, who exactly is your wife?"
In order to buy time and delay the order from Ye Kingdom to attack the city, and wait for reinforcements to arrive, Yang Gu deliberately pretended not to believe it and insisted on asking questions from afar.
Yuwen Sheng was well aware of Yang Gu's intentions, but his only goal was to win back his wife. Therefore, he could give them a chance, as long as they returned her to him intact.
“Zheng, Qu, Chi”.
These three words seemed to have lingered on his lips countless times, and as he uttered them, his vision was illuminated one by one like colorful lanterns, pulling him back to the time he spent with her in the past.
But suddenly, the bright colors became mottled and withered, leaving only a pair of bright, star-like light brown eyes staring at him indifferently and with disgust, like a knife slashing through a vividly woven ink painting, making him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
here we go again.
Lately, every time he thinks of Zheng Quchi, he can't help but wonder what kind of expression she would have if she saw him again.
She recognized him, but he didn't recognize her until the very last moment. Would she blame him?
Will she... hate him?
Yuwen Sheng dared not think any further. He clenched one finger, kneading it as if in self-torture, a serene smile on his face, but his dark eyes revealed a hint of weakness and nervousness.
Yuwen Sheng recited his wife's name as if reciting a poem, clearly pronouncing each word, but unfortunately, Yang Gu had never heard of it before.
He was trying to recall which noble lady or princess from the Kingdom of Ye she was, or perhaps from another country?
Yang Gu thought for a long time but couldn't find anyone named "Zheng Quchi" in the corner of his memory. However, he remembered that Wei Yao had asked them to ask Mo Ye about this matter, so it must be related to him.
They sent people down to inquire about the matter.
Thinking back to a few days ago, Mo Ye did apply to him for a team to go out, and also took dozens of catapults with him. He must have gone to do this kind of thing.
If what the other party said is true, then this matter is in trouble.
Yuwen Sheng raised an army under this pretext to reclaim his abducted wife, and incidentally destroy the enemy city and eliminate the enemy forces blocking his way. This was not wrong in principle, nor was it morally reprehensible.
On the contrary, they have gained a pretext to argue their point.
"Since General Yuwen insists that our military commander abducted your lady, then allow me to go and fetch her so that we can question each other face to face!"
Now is not the best time to confront Yuwen Sheng. On the contrary, Yuwen Sheng's sudden attack has made him panic. Yuwen Sheng is a god of war and his military tactics are superb. If he really fought one soldier at a time, he was afraid that he would not be able to win even one round and would be beheaded.
Therefore, they had secretly joined forces with the Southern Chen Kingdom and the Mohist school, firstly to avenge the theft of the ship's secret weapons, and secondly to carve up the Ye Kingdom, a piece of lean meat. The king had planned this long ago, and he had to stabilize the other side first, so that everything would not be ruined in the early stages.
Not long after, the person Yang Gu had secretly summoned to inquire about the situation returned.
He was out of breath from running, but there was no time for him to catch his breath: "General, Sima did indeed bring an injured black girl back to the camp."
"really?!"
"Yes, but..."
"But what?!"
"But as far as they know, that girl is one of Sima's lovers in Ye... Do you think she could be the wife of that living Yama down there?"
Yang Gu stared in disbelief: "..."
Holy crap, this is shocking?
It's unclear whether this is a case of two men vying for one woman, or whether the woman betrayed Yuwen Sheng after marriage and fell into Sima Moye's arms.
