He had already changed out of his blood-stained clothes, wiped his soft sword clean, and wrapped it around his waist, so there should be no flaws in his record of killing Yingye.
Earlier, he lost track of the assassin and his companion, but he was not in a hurry because he had found some clues on the companion.
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao arrived with a group of people, their faces full of anxiety. They had come to report that the border city defenses had been destroyed by the people of Julu Kingdom.
"Replace the city's defense commanders with a new batch of men." Yuwen Sheng ripped off his gloves and threw them on the ground.
The bloody consequences implied by this sentence are self-evident.
The fact that Julu Kingdom was able to destroy its city walls so easily must mean that someone was working on it from within, which led to the worst possible outcome.
After such a long investigation, there are still some who slipped through the net. There's no need to investigate further then; just replace them all with fresh blood. As for the corrupt old guard, let them be buried with this serious incident.
"General, the city defense is a very serious matter. I suggest that all the stonemasons and masons in the county be summoned immediately to build a new city wall."
"allow."
"We also need to seek help from Taiyuan... The terrain around Fuxian County is very varied, and ordinary craftsmen simply cannot make it stand for long. Even the best craftsmen in the country worked together back then, but as time went on, there were still difficult problems such as hollowing, collapse, and warping."
If it were truly tough enough, it wouldn't have been so easily destroyed by Mo Ye this time; it had far too many problems in its early years.
“Taiyuan? Ha~” Yuwen Sheng sneered: “Instead of pinning our hopes on those corrupt officials in the court, we should hope that the Mohists and the Gongshu School will suddenly turn against us, abandon their great mechanical nation, and come to our dilapidated Ye Kingdom.”
Wang Zebang listened with a heavy heart, knowing that this made sense: "...Then this humble servant will post a notice and search the whole country for skilled craftsmen?"
"allow."
Wei Yao bowed and said, "In addition, the various departments just reported their numbers. Except for Sima Moye, who escaped with serious injuries, all the other party members of Julu Kingdom were annihilated. This time, our Ye Kingdom has finally gotten our revenge!"
Wang Zebang smiled slightly and said, "General, Gongshu Lan, whom you brought back this time, is indeed very useful. She has solved all the problems that have been giving the carpenters headaches. With her, the true Gongshu lineage, here, why would we need someone like Sang Xuanqing? She begs you to have time to meet her."
Yuwen Sheng didn't react much to the two pieces of news. He glanced at the sky, where the azure sky in the west was dyed bright red, and a flock of migratory birds were returning to their nests with loud cries.
"What time is it?"
Wei Yao was taken aback, not understanding why the general suddenly cared about the time: "It should be almost 5 o'clock by now."
He fell silent for a moment, as if he were thinking about something.
"What is the general pondering? Oh, right..." Wang Zebang suddenly remembered something very important, and he asked cautiously, "Did the general meet anyone he took a liking to during the wedding procession this morning? If not, the next batch will begin in four days, your subordinate..."
“No need, I am already married.” Yuwen Sheng interrupted him directly.
"Your subordinate..." Wang Zebang stammered, then suddenly realized the meaning behind the general's words, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets: "You're...you're married?!"
Wei Yao stumbled, looking utterly astonished.
"What? This general can't get married?" Yuwen Sheng glanced at the two with a smile.
They immediately straightened their expressions, lowered their heads and looked meek, and dared not be presumptuous.
But deep down, it still felt like a cat's claws were scratching at my heart.
"Madam, who is she?" Wei Yao couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, risking being killed by the general if he was displeased.
What he really wanted to ask was, who exactly was this amazing person who could make a general who didn't even bother with a princess marry her in just one morning? Did she rely on her goddess-like beauty or her seductive charm like a vixen?
In short, to hear about the general getting married in my lifetime is nothing short of a miracle.
Yuwen Sheng casually wiped the sword with a silk handkerchief, having no obligation to answer their questions.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Wang Zebang's mind, and he cautiously asked, "General, according to our plan, you should have left when the wedding procession ended and Mo Ye sent people to burn down the Manjushri Hall, right? Since you and... Madam have made a marriage pact, where is Madam now?"
In arranged marriages, the man usually chooses the woman and then takes her home. If they are wealthy, they will hold a wedding on a chosen date, which will be lively and festive. If they are not wealthy, they will simply send some betrothal gifts to the woman's family as a formality to complete the wedding ceremony.
Who wouldn't rush to bring their new bride home?
But what about their wife?
Lost?
Yuwen Sheng paused slightly as he wiped his sword, and the smile on his lips faded a little.
lady?
It seems he used his eye condition as an excuse to get rid of her.
He thought to himself, "Could she still be foolishly waiting there?"
Very likely.
The passion and vows she expressed during her proposal were enough to prove that she cared for him. If he didn't reciprocate, how could she give up so easily?
Yuwen Sheng: "She's still at Yinyuanping."
"What were you doing there? Did the general tell his wife anything before he left?"
Is it necessary?
This means that the general had just married someone and then immediately abandoned his wife, leaving her to fend for herself.
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang, who married young, looked pained: "...General, it is absolutely necessary."
When a woman gets angry, she not only becomes sarcastic and cynical, but she also makes you sleep on your side at night! It's terrifying!
Yuwen Sheng saw right through what they were thinking. He slightly curved his lips, but the curve of his mouth was a little strange: "She is different from your wives."
