His last words really startled Wu Hong. Although he did have the intention to rebel, he did not want to be seen through. Now the time was not yet ripe, and he did not dare to rebel at all. He originally thought that Leng Zian would conspire with him, so that his chances of winning would be greater. However, when he saw Leng Zian's son appear in Prince Yu's Mansion, he knew that Leng Zian would definitely not stand on the same side with him anymore.
The facts were just as he expected. After Leng Zian came to Beijing, he invited him many times, but he refused every time.
There is also Liu Dechang. He has 30% more soldiers than himself, and his relationship with Huang Shixiong makes him particularly wary.
Originally, he heard that Leng Zi'an hated Leng Yu and Shui Luolan to the core, and his men would definitely rush into the city to rescue them. He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Leng Zi'an on the charge of treason to prevent future troubles. Who would have thought that Leng Yu would appear halfway and reconcile with Leng Zi'an. This made him a little confused.
Now that his father hadn't brought the imperial edict yet, he began to back down in his heart. After all, it was a taboo to use government troops privately in the capital. If the emperor really investigated the matter, he would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, snorted, and said with disdain:
"Since Prince Yu is willing to take this responsibility, then this general might as well go back and sleep peacefully."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted to the people behind him:
"withdraw troops."
After saying this, he tightened the reins of the horse. The moment he turned his head, he looked at Leng Yu with cold eyes, which were clearly filled with hatred and murderous intent.
He regretted not using these three years to get rid of Leng Yu. He and his father never dreamed that Leng Yu, who was paralyzed in bed, could stand up again and reappear in the court. It seemed that the emperor would entrust him with important tasks.
Therefore, this person must be eliminated!
Wu Hong and his men left, but Leng Yu didn't dare to relax his frown. He turned to Zhang Yuan beside him and said:
"You and Ah Hou follow them. If they make any movement, report it immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan and A Hou saluted and quickly followed.
Leng Yu immediately turned his horse around and led a group of people straight to the city gate. He had to make sure that the people from the Yunnan Palace had withdrawn before he could go to the palace to deal with other matters.
Before he reached the city gate, Leng Zian had already rushed back on horseback. When they met face to face, a trace of cold sweat appeared on Leng Zian's flushed face.
After Leng Yu stopped his horse, he asked anxiously:
"Uncle, have you settled your people?"
"It's settled. I'll have them all retreat twenty feet away."
"That's good. Now we have to think about how to calm the anger of our father and the ministers after entering the palace."
Leng Zian sighed, shook his sleeves, and said angrily:
"It's all my fault for being too reckless. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this. Now that things have come to this, I'll go and apologize alone."
As he was about to ride forward, Leng Yu hurriedly called him back.
"Uncle, don't worry. This matter can't be resolved by just your apology. Last night, you drew your sword and went before our father to demand an explanation. Today, your men are at the gates of the city. Even if most of the important officials in the court don't care about this matter, there's no guarantee that the Wu family father and son won't make suggestions. So, let's think it over carefully and make a long-term plan."
When mentioning the Wu family father and son, Leng Zian's cold face suddenly turned ashen. Thinking of what Wu Hong had just said, he knew that the Wu family father and son wanted to kill him.
Thinking of this, he tightened the reins of his horse and shouted to Leng Yu,
"You go back to the palace first, I'll be back soon."
After he finished speaking, he rode away quickly.
"Where is the emperor's uncle going?"
As soon as Leng Yu asked this question, his horse galloped out and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Looking at the figure that was disappearing into the distance, Leng Yu sighed helplessly and said to the person behind him:
"Return to the palace."
The palace must be in chaos now. He has to go back as soon as possible to calm the emperor and the ministers. Although the emperor's uncle acted a little rashly, it was because Xiaozhi was injured by someone. The most important thing is that the cause of Xiaozhi's injury has not been found out yet, and the person who directly hurt him is dead. This matter seems to have become a matter of no evidence. However, he knows that he is not a person who will give up easily. In order to give Xiaozhi an explanation, he will definitely investigate it to the end.
After Leng Zian parted ways with Leng Yu, he went straight to Wu Hong's general's mansion. He knew that Wu Hong would definitely go home to change into official uniform before entering the palace, so he had to grasp this time period well.
Sure enough, when he arrived at General Wu's mansion, Wu Hong had already changed into official clothes and was preparing to go out.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Leng Zian standing in front of him on a tall horse, looking at him coldly.
He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and snorted coldly.
"Why is the Prince of Zhennan coming to Wu's place instead of going to the palace to apologize to the emperor?"
Leng Zian did not answer him, but said directly:
"I have a few words to say to you."
Wu Hong raised his eyebrows in disdain and replied in a cold voice:
"This general is going to the palace to see the emperor. If you have anything to say, please come back and talk to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to go towards his BMW horse.
Leng Zian glanced at him, raised his voice, and asked loudly:
"General Wu, aren't you afraid that I will show the visiting card you gave me to the Emperor?"
His words really had a deterrent effect. Wu Hong stopped his move to mount his horse. He turned around to look at Leng Zian and said to him coldly:
"Since the Prince of Zhennan has something to say, please come to the mansion."
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and led the way. Leng Zian snorted disdainfully, jumped off the horse and followed him in.
The reason why he guessed that Wu Hong was afraid that the emperor would see the visiting card he sent to him was because the card contained many words that a minister should not say. Of course, before he knew that he had a son, Xiaozhi, he was determined to join forces with the Wu father and son to drive the emperor off the throne in order to wash away the blood shame of not being able to enter the capital for the past twenty years.
But now things are different. He has a son and he has to consider his son. The father and son of the Wu family already know his thoughts. If he doesn't find something to control them now, it will be really difficult to subdue them.
In the main hall of the Wu family, Wu Hong and Leng Zian sat facing each other. After the maid served the tea, Wu Hong waved to the servants, and all the servants retreated one by one.
At this time, he asked with a serious expression:
"Why did the Prince of Zhennan come to see me? Do you want to explain the tens of thousands of elite troops from your Yunnan Palace attacking the city?"
