Chapter 279 Provoking War
Chapter 279 Provoking War
Song Wanning nodded.
Seeing how determined Song Wanning was, Li Yang came down from the hall, clasped Song Wanning's shoulders with both hands, stared at her seriously, and asked, "Since Miss Song knows all these things, she must know who did it. Why don't you want to say it?"
"Because this matter is of great importance, if you were to expose it, you would most likely be implicated."
Song Wanning knew that it was not easy for Li Yang to reach this position.
If Prince Huan noticed this and suspected me, things might not be that simple.
“But as an official, I just want to protect the people and share the emperor’s worries. Now I know clearly what that person is going to do, but I can’t stop anything. I’m really useless.” Li Yang couldn’t help but sneer and slowly closed his eyes.
"My Lord, please do not underestimate yourself. This matter is indeed of great importance. I am afraid that there is only one person who can solve this problem."
After hearing Song Wanning's words, Li Yang instantly guessed who Song Wanning was talking about.
"Miss Song, are you talking about General Yun?" Li Yang asked.
Song Wanning nodded.
Now Yun Che holds the military power of the Yun Family Army, and those barbarians are also afraid of him.
"But I heard that General Yun has been sent by the emperor and has left the capital for a while. I'm afraid we don't know how long it will take to wait for General Yun to come back." Li Yang glanced outside and sighed lightly.
“I believe Yun Che.” Song Wanning smiled faintly. She knew that Yun Che was going to investigate the private soldiers.
Being smarter than Yun Che, he would have probably guessed that this matter was related to Prince Huan a long time ago.
He must have known that Prince Huan was collaborating with the barbarians and was planning a rebellion.
Then he will definitely find ways to prevent this from happening.
As long as those private soldiers cannot come to the capital, King Huan’s retreat route will be cut off.
If Prince Huan continues, it will be a fight to the death.
……
now.
Inside Prince Huan’s palace.
He was also extremely anxious and kept circling around the man, looking outside from time to time.
"Prince Huan, you don't have to be so anxious. Everything will go smoothly for us." The man in black was calm and drank tea silently, which was a stark contrast to Prince Huan.
"How can I not worry? That person has been gone for so long, and I don't even know if the letter was delivered. You have to know that Gu Yong is a fool. I deliberately fabricated the story that the emperor abused the people and bullied refugees, and asked him to come to the capital quickly to help me. If this matter cannot be handled well, what's the use of our subsequent plans?" Prince Huan came to the table, clapped his hands on the table, his eyes dark.
"Besides, the trouble caused by those refugees outside today was too big."
"Didn't we agree to kill them all? Why did some of them come to the capital to cause trouble?"
Prince Huan stared at the person in front of him with suspicion, and began to question whether this matter should be done.
“Do we have any way out now? I have already sent a letter to them. There will always be a few fish that slip through the net, but it does not hinder our plan. Now that the war has been provoked and Yun Che is not in the capital, the emperor cannot make a decision at all. As long as our people come, they can ascend to the throne.”
“I can only say that the emperor is not smart enough. At such a critical moment, he actually sent Yun Che out. Isn’t this the opportunity that gives us an opportunity to take advantage of?”
When he said this, he took a sip of tea and looked more relaxed.
I still think this thing will definitely succeed, so I'm not panicking at all.
Prince Huan finally sat down, stared at the teacup in front of him, then picked it up and drank it all.
"But your leader doesn't want to fight, and you are doing this secretly. Can they reach the capital smoothly? Don't let any problems arise along the way." King Huan still spoke with some doubt. There can't be any more mistakes now.
Otherwise, every step you take may bring you into trouble.
"Don't worry, they are well hidden and won't be discovered." He spoke confidently, without any panic at all.
Prince Huan looked at him again and decided to believe him this time.
……
Jiangcheng.
Yun Che came out of the courtyard and wanted to walk around, but suddenly he saw a commotion at the city gate.
He was a little confused and hurried over to take a look. He found that there were many more refugees outside, but the people of Jiangcheng did not want to let them in. After all, Jiangcheng was so small that it could not accommodate this number of nearly a hundred people.
“Let them in.” Yun Che suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked over.
They all knew Yun Che’s identity, so after hearing his order, they could only retreat obediently.
As soon as the refugees rushed in, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed in front of Yun Che.
"Thank you very much for saving us, sir. Thank you very much, sir."
But Yun Che was very confused. Why were there so many refugees? Was there a war going on somewhere?
“You all should get up first.” Yun Che bent down, supported the old man in front of him, and continued to ask, “Where are you from?”
"We all came from the north and have been walking for half a month. Many people starved to death on the road. There are still many adults willing to take us in. We really have nowhere else to go." The old man wiped away tears as he spoke.
They didn't want to disturb others like this, but their village was destroyed.
The food was gone too.
If they want to survive, they have to keep moving and find a place that can accept them.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. We were living well, but a group of barbarians came from nowhere and robbed a lot of things in our village. They also killed people everywhere. Many of the soldiers guarding our side of the border were also killed. These people came with such force that we didn't even know when they sneaked in."
At this time.
The middle-aged man standing next to the old man said these words to Yun Che.
Yun Che frowned slightly.
Barbarians?
But if a war had really been started, how could Yun Che not have received any news?
Yun Si, who had been hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
He could feel that Yun Che was angry.
Yun Si quickly appeared and knelt in front of Yun Che.
"Master, I will go and check this matter out right away."
After saying that, Yuns left in a hurry.
Yun Che also paid out of his own pocket and booked an inn for all the refugees to stay in first.
The others had to go to Li Huai for help and all the refugees had to be settled.
As for the barbarians who have started to make moves around the border, the Yun family army should also be dispatched.
Yun Che returned to his backyard and whistled.
Yuntang immediately knelt beside him.
Yun Che took out half of the tiger talisman, threw it to Yun Tang, and instructed, “Take a group of brothers from the Yun Family Army and go to the northern border to take a look. If the barbarians insist on provoking us, then fight them back or kill them.”
"My subordinate understands!"
