Chapter 589: Victory or Defeat (Part 1)
All the emotions on Ugler's face suddenly froze. After a long, suffocating silence, all his emotions suddenly disappeared, leaving only determination in his eyes.
Seeing the look in his eyes, everyone understood that he had made up his mind.
"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. We will take a short rest tonight and leave the city and return to Wazhen early tomorrow morning."
Many people sighed.
——He actually dared to go back!
In fact, Ugler had his reasons for doing so: he didn't believe that Zora could get rid of all his people in such a short time.
Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he has to give it a try!
Chen Yanchuan was not surprised by his choice. He nodded slightly and said:
"The Fourth Prince - oh, no, he should be called the New Khan. He must have misunderstood the First Prince, so he sent this golden letter. When the First Prince returns with the peace agreement, I think all problems will be solved."
These words instantly enlightened Ugle and made him suddenly realize.
yes!
How could he forget that he had such a killer weapon!
This peace agreement is the most powerful support for him to return to Wazhen with legitimate reasons!
After figuring this out, Ugler suddenly felt refreshed.
He immediately looked at Tang Zhongli and laughed: "Although there are some misunderstandings in my clan, I have a clear conscience! This time, I must bring back a peace agreement no matter what. As long as it can bring peace to the northern border, even if I am misunderstood, it doesn't matter!"
He directly took out the dagger he carried with him from his waist, and cut his left index finger with a swift movement, and blood gushed out!
There was a moment of commotion among the people in the hall.
Ugle didn't care at all, he raised his head and shouted:
"I'll sign the peace agreement now!"
The turn came too quickly, and several ministers from the Ministry of Rites were stunned. However, Chen Songshi reacted very quickly, and immediately stood up and clapped, praising with a smile:
"The eldest prince is truly a man of character! He is bold and decisive, a true hero!"
The envoys behind Ugler were all panicked.
"Prince! The peace agreement cannot be signed! The treaty on it is still——"
Ugler turned around and gave them a cold look, which immediately silenced them and they dared not say anything more.
How could Ugle care about these things at this moment?
Zora has already ascended the throne! Make him a traitor to the entire Wazhen! Why should he continue to argue here? Wasting his breath on something that has nothing to do with him?
Anyway, he just needs to take this peace agreement back with him!
He can’t control the rest, nor does he want to control it!
Ugler even felt a strange sense of relief in his heart - Zora thought he had won, but in fact, it was not so easy to deal with Wazhen's current mess!
He wanted to see what Zora could do when the time came!
Thinking of this, Ugle no longer hesitated.
"sign!"
Since Zhuola is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust!
He will fight to the end, and even until his last drop of blood, and he will not let Zora have an easy time!
…
Ugle didn't even read the peace agreement carefully before he just put his fingerprint on it.
Looking at the bright red mark on it, Tang Zhongli and others were still a little dazed.
Who could have thought that this agreement would be signed under such circumstances?
I thought I was going to have another tough verbal battle tonight, but...
It was really a pleasant surprise.
Emperor Mu Wu was very satisfied with the result, and his body and mind felt much better.
This was also thanks to Ye Chutang's recent care. The medicine she prescribed really replenished his blood and qi, allowing him to recover a lot.
"The northern border has been in strife for many years, and the people have suffered unbearably. Now that this peace agreement has been signed, the eldest prince can be said to have made a great contribution."
Xiao Chengqi also smiled and said, "Father is right. Although I don't know what misunderstanding there is between you four that caused the eldest prince to be stigmatized, as long as we talk it out, I think everything will be fine. After all, we are brothers connected by blood. How can there be a blood feud that cannot be resolved? Prince, don't you agree?"
It would have been better if he didn't say it. Once he said it, Ugle's resentment was immediately aroused again.
"King Lie is right. This is actually what I'm curious about." Ugle snorted and laughed, "The letter from Jin said that I colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed Wazhen. I don't know when I did such a thing!?"
Xiao Chengqi thought for a moment and guessed, "Perhaps it was slander by a villain. Who knows. But the charge is so serious and grave. Why did you come to this conclusion without a thorough investigation?"
Everyone had different expressions, it was very exciting.
Xiao Chengqi asked this question even though he knew the answer. Even a fool would know that this was most likely Zhuola's plan.
Ugel is his strongest competitor. If he doesn't kill him, he must at least be brought to disgrace. Otherwise, how can he sit securely on the throne of Khan?
But these words cannot be said directly no matter what.
Ugle also sneered and said sarcastically:
"I am also very confused about this. I don't know who falsely accused me of colluding with the important officials stationed in the northern border, secretly selling war horses, hoarding food and grass, and making huge profits for myself! I even lied about military intelligence and claimed military merits. It's really ridiculous!"
Xiao Chengqi immediately grasped the key point.
"Oh? Then please write down who it is?"
Ugler didn't expect him to ask this suddenly and frowned.
"I didn't say that. They were just some lies that couldn't stand up to scrutiny, so I naturally didn't say who it was."
"Your Highness, this is wrong." Xiao Chengqi's expression straightened up, "This is exactly the most crucial point. If we don't specify who it is, then wouldn't it be unreasonable to deal with the Highness?"
Ugle also hesitated after hearing this.
yes!
Although Zhuola wanted to kill him, she couldn't send the golden letter without sufficient evidence.
He picked it up again and looked at it carefully several times, his brows furrowed more and more.
"It also says here that someone reported me for trading weapons with foreign enemies? How ridiculous!"
He was so overwhelmed with anger just now that he realized now that these charges were really weird!
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him.
When Xiao Chengqi heard this, he immediately became alert and sat up straight.
"Weapons trade?"
Ugler disagreed.
He never did these things, so what is there to say! ?
"Humph, who knows where they found the fake evidence, pieced it all together, and framed me!"
Many people, including Ugler, did not take this matter to heart. After all, the struggle for power has always been extremely cruel.
True or false, what does it matter?
However, Xiao Chengqi didn't think so.
He thought for a moment and looked at Shen Yanchuan.
"I remember that two months ago, Northern Xinjiang did have two conflicts with Wazhen. We won one and lost one, and the two sides were tied."
The northern border has been in constant war for years, with conflicts breaking out every now and then. People have long been accustomed to winning or losing, and life and death, and there is nothing much to say.
But the key point is - how can Wazhen, who is now almost out of ammunition and food, still win?
