Chapter 590: The House Was Stolen (Update 1)
Chen Yanchuan nodded: "Yes. I heard that the group of Wa Zhenren looked embarrassed, but the weapons in their hands were very handy, so they caught the Northern Frontier warriors off guard. But after the second time, they were prepared and won another battle."
Ugler was stunned: "How could this happen?"
Ever since Mumu Zhen'er fell ill, she has ordered that no one should act rashly, let alone start a fight.
Those who burned, killed and looted on the border were usually not regular troops. But if they were really just bandits, where did they get those useful weapons?
Chen Yanchuan turned his head and looked at him, raising his eyebrows slightly, "The eldest prince didn't know about this?"
Ugler's face suddenly turned ugly.
Because he really had never heard of it!
This proves that he had already lost control of Wa Zhen!
"May I ask, Your Majesty, how many casualties were there in those two fights?"
Shen Yanchuan paused, "More than a hundred soldiers were killed or wounded."
Ugler clenched his fists, his muscles were tense, and there seemed to be a fire burning wildly in his chest.
It would be fine if he didn't know about ordinary small-scale fights, but according to the rules, cases like this with hundreds of casualties must be reported to him!
But he was totally unaware!
Either someone is concealing military intelligence, or someone is intercepting the news in advance!
Whatever the situation, Ugler was not willing to accept it.
He has now begun to doubt when Zora infiltrated him and his father and accomplished all this quietly!
But it would be futile to say anything now. All he could do was return to Wazhen and find the answer himself!
Thinking of this, Ugler could no longer stay, so he bowed and led everyone away.
Naturally, he also took the agreement with him.
Emperor Mu Wu did not try to keep him.
Some things are better left to Wazhen to handle himself.
Outsiders just need to wait and see.
…
A lively palace banquet ended so hastily.
The night was dark and the north wind was blowing fiercely.
Ye Chutang stirred the charcoal fire in the stove, and suddenly heard some noise, so he walked to the window.
She opened the window a crack, and the yard was quiet, with only the moonlight casting faint shadows on the dead trees in the courtyard.
Xiaowu in the room had already crawled into bed and looked over here, his big black eyes full of curiosity.
——Who comes to see my sister so late at night?
But the thought only flashed through her mind and she quickly put it behind her. She then obediently took out a new purse and placed it on the bedside, clasping her hands together devoutly and seriously.
——In the new year, there will be more money in your new pocket!
After she repeated it silently three times in her mind, Ye Chutang finally closed the window and came back.
Xiaowu looked up. He originally didn't want to ask, but when he saw that his elder sister's expression seemed a little subtle, he became curious and gestured twice.
——Sister, what happened?
Ye Chutang's expression became even weirder, and amidst the absurdity, there seemed to be a hint of sympathy.
"The home of Prince Ugler of Wazhen, the one you met before, was robbed."
Xiaowu: ...? ? ?
What do you mean?
Ye Chutang met her big round eyes, nodded affirmatively, then shook his head and sighed softly.
"It's really pitiful that all the money was stolen while I was on a business trip."
Xiaowu didn't quite understand.
Didn’t the eldest prince seem very powerful before? It's only been a few days and something like this has happened?
Ye Chutang felt a little regretful for a moment.
"If I had known today would be so exciting, I should have gone to see it with my own eyes."
She thought of something, chuckled suddenly, and gently pinched Xiaowu's face.
"It seems that someone has already taken the lead in doing business in Wazhen."
