Lieutenant General Yang Jincheng's mood at this time was not much better.
These days, he was busy, not only trying to appease the soldiers, but also trying hard to pretend that nothing happened.
He is even required to explore the road. It can be said that he is very clear about the situation in the dozens of miles around. Not to mention Dongfang Yu, not even a human figure can be found.
He wanted to refuse, but in the end he didn't say it. Instead, he decided to let people search for it for a while.
Little did they know that Dongfang Yu had already fled back to the imperial city of Wei, and when he entered the city, he heard that Qian Jinbao, one of the five tiger generals of the Daliang Empire, was coming with an army of 100,000 people.
In the past, he would never have worried, but now he had to be prepared for Wei to be completely defeated.
So he asked his clan brother to call Dongfang Jiaoyue out of the palace without thinking.
Originally it was impossible for Dongfang Jiaoyue to leave the palace, but Dongfang Yu was fighting abroad, so she used this excuse to go to the temple to pray for her uncle.
Only then did His Majesty the Emperor agree.
When Dongfang Jiaoyue arrived at her uncle's clan brother's house, she saw that Dongfang Yu was also there.
"Uncle, why are you here at this time?"
"Alas, General Huwei has been greedy for power and has been taken advantage of by the Daqian Kingdom's army."
Dongfang Yu looked speechless.
"But His Majesty has sent another 50,000 troops to support you. If you come back now, aren't you going to be a deserter?"
Dongfang Jiaoyue was a little angry. She knew that her uncle was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but she didn't expect that he would run away because of fear.
She knew very well about the army of the Daqian Kingdom that even if they retained General Huwei, they would not be able to defeat them in a short period of time, not to mention that Wei had sent reinforcements.
"Oops! It's over!"
Dongfang Yu's face turned pale instantly, and he patted his thigh, feeling extremely anxious.
"Finished?"
"Brother, what on earth is going on?"
"General Huwei of the Wei State is a very powerful general. Once the Wei State provides support, he will definitely cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside."
Dongfang Shuo frowned, not understanding why the clan brother looked like this.
"Alas, you don't know that when I came back, I had someone go to the border between Wei and the Liang Empire to see it."
"I originally planned to see if I could escape to the Daliang Empire with you, but I didn't expect to find out a piece of news."
"The Liang Empire has sent a hundred thousand troops to attack Wei."
Dongfang Yu's face was extremely pale. He only learned the news by accident this time.
"What?"
"Brother, are you sure that the Daliang Empire is coming?"
"Isn't their envoy still staying in the Wei embassy?"
"I seem to have been arguing with His Majesty lately, saying that our Wei army killed their envoys on their mission to the Daqian Kingdom and robbed their belongings."
"But after investigation, His Majesty the Emperor found that it was completely false, so both parties have been wrangling."
"There is no result yet, so how could they send troops at this time?"
Dongfang Shuo was also a little anxious. He didn't feel that his clan brother was deceiving him. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
"Oh, I really hope this isn't true, but the facts are here, let's run away!"
Dongfang Shuo didn't have much courage to stay at all. He had fled back in the first place. Even if Wei finally blocked the Daliang Empire's attack, he would still be finished.
"No, we're not leaving, at least we can't just leave like this!"
Dongfang Jiaoyue had already had enough of the Wei Emperor.
Although he was mighty and majestic and very appealing to her, he never took a shower and was vulgar. He only did things based on his own likes and dislikes.
He was very rude to her and threw it away after use, which caused her status to fluctuate, which was very embarrassing.
"What's the meaning?"
Dongfang Yu frowned and looked at his niece. He knew a little about his niece, and he also knew that she was not someone who would give up easily.
"We can leave, but we must go against the army of the Daliang Empire. It is best to go to Huyu Pass and wait for the army of the Daliang Empire there."
No one in the Dongfang family is a fool, and they immediately understood what Dongfang Jiaoyue meant.
"But if you do this, you won't be able to escape."
Dongfang Yu's face was a little gloomy. He still hoped that his niece could follow him.
At least I can give him some advice in the future.
Even at the most critical moment, he could sell his niece to survive.
"Hmph, clan brother, you look down on the strength of our branch, don't you?"
"Although we have never been able to serve as officials in the Wei State over the years, and we have even been suppressed often, our team has never slacked off."
"Even if we are asked to steal a prince out of the palace, we can still do it."
Dongfang Shuo was very confident.
"you sure?"
Dongfang Yu looked at his clan brother in disbelief.
"Of course, this is a matter of life and death, how could I possibly joke about such a thing."
"Jiaoyue, go back quickly and don't let His Majesty the Emperor see the clues. I will find an opportunity to get you out."
Dongfang Shuo looked at Dongfang Gaoyue with a smile, looking very kind.
"..."
Dongfang Jiaoyue originally wanted to say something, but when she saw her uncle and his clan brother flirting with each other, she knew that they had something to avoid talking about.
Although she felt very unwilling, she also knew that now was not the time to break up.
"Brother, are you sure you want to bring your niece with you?"
Dongfang Shuo actually didn't want to leave from the bottom of his heart. After all, everything here had been managed by their family for many years before they had enough financial resources to maintain their current status.
If they leave, all their operations will be in vain.
"Oh, do you think I want it?"
"This girl Jiao Yue is originally a proud person and always likes to be competitive. Such a woman is very suitable to survive in the palace."
"And I have investigated that the emperor of the Liang Empire liked wives very much, and he also liked women who were taken by force."
Dongfang Shuo was stunned.
"You mean you plan to..."
"Yes, to tell you the truth, I originally planned to go to the Daliang Empire, but due to bad luck, I had no choice but to come to the Wei Kingdom."
Dongfang Yu felt a little melancholy. He had known that no matter how difficult it was, he would have gone to the Liang Empire instead of the Wei Kingdom.
Dongfang Shuo thought carefully for a long time, and finally agreed to use the hidden thread they buried in the palace to get Dongfang Jiaoyue out.
But I still feel a little sad in my heart. When I came to Wei State, I had no choice but to leave now, but I feel a little reluctant to leave.
