In Fenzhou City.
"We finally made it in! We finally won!"
"We finally defeated the Qing people! From now on, Fenzhou will be ours!"
"Brothers, let's have some wine and roast a lamb to celebrate!"
Xiao Yuncheng was sitting in the house sipping wine when he heard cheers coming from outside. He smiled confidently, picked up the wine jug and poured wine into the glass.
"Master Sikong, please."
Sikong is the masked man's surname.
Sikong Fu's eyes were also filled with smiles. He filled his glass with wine and toasted to Xiao Yuncheng across from him, "Your Highness is really good at planning. He easily helped us capture Fenzhou City."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuncheng's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Lord Sikong, please do not forget the deal you made with me."
"Haha, that's natural."
The cheers outside gradually stopped, but no one came to announce the good news.
Xiao Yuncheng frowned slightly.
I don't know if those people who received such high salaries were just sitting there doing nothing but working for nothing. They didn't even bother to report such an important victory to him first, and were only concerned with celebrating among themselves.
But if you think about it, it's understandable that those guys from Wei Kingdom don't know etiquette. After all, they are a bunch of barbarians.
It's just Guo Fei...
Could it be that he is still guarding Lao Jiu?
Why is there no movement at all?
Xiao Yuncheng snorted coldly and stood up. "Master Sikong, we've had enough wine today. Why don't you go out with me and enjoy this grand feast of massacre?"
Sikong Fu clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest. "No, since the great event has been accomplished, I must hurry back to announce the good news. I will not stay with Your Highness any longer. Farewell."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuncheng was the only one left in the room. No one knew how he managed to disappear.
This person has always been like this, without anyone noticing.
Xiao Yuncheng remained silent.
Sikong Fu approached him a few months ago and said he wanted to make a deal with him.
In the end, he used a city as a bargaining chip and cooperated with him.
As long as he could completely destroy his good brother's reputation and then get rid of him without anyone noticing, making the world think that the Ninth Prince Xiao Yunze had colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country, opening the city gates at night to let the enemy massacre the city, and finally accidentally died here...
So what if we lost a city?
In the future, he can lead his troops to take back Fenzhou!
A few days ago, most of the people in the city had moved away, so he didn't commit too much sin of killing.
As for those who died unjustly, let them seek revenge on his good brother!
A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Yuncheng's lips.
Then let him go and see how miserable his brother looks now.
Xiao Yuncheng flicked his long sleeves and walked towards the gate.
The moment he opened the door, the smile froze on his face.
Outside the gate, there are heavy guards.
Without exception, they all wore Daqing military uniforms!
What's going on?
Didn’t Wei Jun win?
Shouldn’t all these Daqing soldiers be killed?
“Pah—pah—pah—”
Xiao Yunze, wearing an indigo robe, clapped his hands and walked out from the side.
Xiao Yuncheng widened his eyes in disbelief, and clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.
Looking at Xiao Yuncheng's gloomy face, Xiao Yunze opened his thin lips slightly, "Why, my royal brother seems very surprised?"
"We won the battle, shouldn't my royal brother be happy?"
Xiao Yuncheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He realized that the cheers from the Wei army outside were all acted out. "Xiao Yunze, you planned all this, didn't you?"
Xiao Yunze raised his eyebrows, looking innocent, "Design?"
"Ah, my brother is saying—"
Xiao Yunze seemed to be deliberately dragging out the last word, "I saw through your plan and saved tens of thousands of lives of the people of Fenzhou and the soldiers in the city?"
"I wonder how my father will reward me after I return to the capital."
"Xiao Yunze!" Xiao Yuncheng's expression grew increasingly gloomy. "I'm your royal brother, but I'm just drinking here. How dare you fabricate a stigma against me?"
Xiao Yunze smiled, "Fabricated? As a role model for the other princes, my royal brother should be more careful with his words."
As he spoke, Xiao Yunze clapped his hands, and then he saw Guo Fei walking out from somewhere.
Xiao Yuncheng's pupils constricted, as if he finally understood what had gone wrong. He stared at Guo Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, with a sinister look on his face. "I trusted you so much, and you betrayed me?"
With tears in his eyes, Guo Fei kowtowed heavily to Xiao Yuncheng.
Xiao Yuncheng was furious and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Xiao Yunze took a step forward and said, "The prince left the capital without hesitation, but now my brother has appeared at the border. My brother should think carefully about how to explain this to our father."
"Come here, please invite the Third Prince into the house. We will set off for the capital tomorrow."
Seeing that several soldiers were actually walking towards him, Xiao Yuncheng was furious. "How dare you! I want to see who dares to lock me up!"
Xiao Yunze sneered, "Royal brother, the crime of treason is not so easy to pin. There are more than just Guo Fei as witnesses. I don't know if Wu Yu can be considered a witness."
"Royal brother, take care of yourself."
After saying that, Xiao Yunze walked away.
Xiao Yuncheng's eyes were red with anger. He rushed to Guo Fei and grabbed his neck. "I gave you such a high salary to take good care of your wife and daughter, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing. Over the years, I trusted and relied on you so much, and you stabbed me in the back?"
Guo Fei's eyes were red, "I'm sorry, Your Highness! They captured my concubine and son! I've dedicated half my life to Daqing, and all I want is a son! But my wife can't give birth to a son!"
