Chapter 3489 Attacking Yongzhou
Fan Chenggong immediately dismounted and led a few people to the door, knocking on it: "Open the door, the general is here!"
But the door was closed.
Fan Chenggong looked back at Xiahou Jiu. At this time, Xiahou Jiu also felt that the situation was not serious. He deeply regretted leaving the Chen residence and leaving Li Wu Yu in Chen Biri's hands. He also dismounted and led his men forward, saying, "Kill the door for me!"
So, a group of people came forward and started banging on the door.
Although the gate was strong, Xiahou Jiu brought with him some tall and strong warriors, and they rammed the gate so hard that it was about to collapse. The servants and guards who were guarding Chen's house also rushed up to stop them.
"General, you can't slam Lord Chen's door like that."
Xiahou Jiu said coldly, "If your Lord Chen won't open the door, and I don't break it down, are you going to wait outside? Keep breaking it down!"
So, a group of people rushed forward again.
Just then, heavy footsteps were heard from inside the gate. Someone was leading people over. Xiahou Jiu waved his hand, and everyone immediately retreated to both sides, but did not move away.
Hundreds of eyes were staring at the gate, and then a creaking sound was heard.
The door slowly opened.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Biri's thin figure was seen standing inside the door, and behind him was Chen Wenxiong and his men. The two sides were confronting each other inside and outside the door, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Just a few days ago, when Li Wu Yu first arrived in Doubei Town, Chen Biri was still sick in bed and unable to get up. He looked dying as if he would die at any time. But at this moment, he stood inside the door, but he did not look as sick as he did in the first few days. On the contrary, he stood there, and although he was thin, he did not look weak at all.
Chen Bi Ri narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the people outside, and said coldly: "General, what do you mean by bringing people to smash my door?"
“…”
"Your Majesty is still in my house, and you're banging on the door like that. Are you planning a rebellion?"
Xiahou Jiu clenched his teeth tightly.
Sure enough, just as Ruan Wendong had guessed before, Li Wu Yu was now in his hands. He wanted Li Wu Yu to say something, and if he did not obey, he would put the hat of rebellion on his head.
At this moment, Xiahou Jiu regretted even more why he left before.
But now, it's too late to regret.
Xiahou Jiu gritted his teeth and sneered, "Master Chen, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is in this state, and I, the general, am worried about your health, so I rushed here. But you, Master Chen, are the ones who are keeping the door closed while your Majesty is in your house. What's your meaning?"
Chen Bi Ri said coldly, "You are well aware of His Majesty's situation, General. I had the gates closed tightly because I didn't want anyone to disturb His Majesty."
Xiahou Jiu asked, "How could my presence disturb Your Majesty?"
“…”
"On the contrary, this is your Lord Chen's residence, and it's not convenient for Your Majesty to stay here to rest. This general has come to take Your Majesty back to his headquarters, where there are imperial physicians who can see Your Majesty."
After saying that, he walked inside.
However, just as he was about to step into the gate, Chen Wenxiong, who was behind Chen Biri, had already come forward with a group of people and stopped Xiahou Jiu outside the door.
Xiahou Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of danger flashed in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Chen Bi Ri smiled faintly and said, "General, please don't misunderstand us. We have no other intentions. It's just that - General, you cannot go in to see His Majesty yet."
Xiahou Jiu clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled.
He said coldly: "Why not?"
Chen Bi Ri said, "Because His Majesty just woke up, he has instructed you, the General, to do something, and to do it immediately. That is why I am here to meet you, to inform the General of this matter."
"What did you say?"
Xiahou Jiu frowned: "Your Majesty is awake?"
Chen Bi Ri said, "Not bad."
Xiahou Jiu immediately said, "You're lying! How could His Majesty possibly wake up?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bi Ri's face showed a grim smile. He said, "General, why do you say that? Why can't Your Majesty wake up? Could it be that the General doesn't want Your Majesty to wake up?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiahou Jiu was immediately put in an extremely dangerous situation.
A minister does not want the monarch to wake up...
Isn't that just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel?
Although Xiahou Jiu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to admit such a problem at such a sensitive time. What's more, he wanted Li Wu Yu to be safe and sound more than anyone else. After all, all his wealth and honor depended on this person.
He gritted his teeth and held his breath and said, "Of course not. It's just—"
"General, there is no doubt about it,"
Chen Bi Ri interrupted him and said coldly, "The general just left here, so he naturally doesn't know what happened inside. As the prime minister of the current dynasty, how could I lie to the general? Moreover, the matter His Majesty has instructed is a major matter, and only the general can do it."
Xiahou Jiu's face darkened. "What's the matter?"
Chen Bi Ri said, "Your Majesty wants the General to immediately mobilize his troops and attack Yongzhou!"
"What?!"
Xiahou Jiu was horrified: "What did you say?"
Attack Yongzhou?
The emperor of Yan State is still in Yongzhou City. If he is asked to attack Yongzhou at this time, wouldn’t it be equivalent to declaring an all-out war with Yan State?
Xiahou Jiu said in a deep voice, "How could His Majesty give such an order!?"
Chen Bi Ri asked, "Why not?"
“…”
"General, don't forget that His Majesty's current situation is caused by the Yan people, isn't it?"
“…”
"Your Majesty ordered the General to attack Yongzhou to avenge this arrow. Does the General intend to watch Your Majesty being harmed by the Yan people and do nothing?"
Xiahou Jiu also understood at this time.
What about Li Wuyu waking up, what about telling him to do something, what about attacking Yongzhou...
Everything was Chen Bi Ri's conspiracy.
Just as Ruan Wendong said just now, he is now taking advantage of Li Wuyou's presence in his house to "use the emperor to command the princes"!
If I don't agree, he can put the hat of disobeying the order and rebelling on my head.
But if I win——
Then the peaceful situation that he led would be completely broken.
By that time, if I win, Chen Biri and the others will be proud; if I lose, all the credit I have earned over the past decade will be burned to ashes!
Xiahou Jiu's teeth were almost broken as he said fiercely, "This is a serious matter. It can't just be resolved by your words, Lord Chen. This general wants to see His Majesty and hear it from His Majesty himself!"
After saying that, he was about to rush in.
However, Chen Wenxiong would never let him in and immediately stopped him. Xiahou Jiu, enraged, simply knocked him over and waved his hand, saying, "Follow me in!"
