Chapter 173 The Truth
Chapter 173 The Truth
Murong Yuan sighed slightly, "If we take a step back, we can still get it back. If we don't, we will be doomed. The people from the court are almost here, and we have to make a decision. The timing for those people in the palace to take over the imperial city is very good. We are in a passive position now."
Murong Cheng said in a deep voice, "Father, the Northwest Army and the Black Armor Army only have 500,000 people. Even if we want to... it won't be easy..."
Bai Chuxiao chuckled, "I'm afraid grandpa has already had a plan in mind."
Murong Yuan cast an admiring look, "When the prince received your news, he withdrew the Black Armor Army. Naturally, he had a plan in mind. Now he is just waiting for the prince to make the final decision."
Murong Yuan looked at Murong Che and the others again and said calmly, "You guys don't have as much control over the situation as Xiao Yatou does. You still have a long way to go..."
Murong Che, Murong Xuan, and Murong Shuo lowered their heads. It was mainly because they were too isolated from the news...
Bai Chuxiao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather..."
Murong Yuan looked at her inexplicable gaze, waved to the other people in the tent and said, "Okay, you guys go down first, I have something to say to Xiao girl alone."
"Yes"
When there were only two people in the tent, Murong Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Got it?"
Bai Chuxiao nodded, "Grandfather, what are your plans for what happened back then?"
Murong Yuan said calmly, "The mastermind behind the scenes is dead, although he didn't die in my hands."
Bai Chuxiao said slowly, "The executioner is still alive, isn't he? He's even living a more carefree life."
Murong Yuan chuckled, "Yes, the King of Qi and the King of Yan, the Wei family and the Murong family are destined to fight to the death."
Bai Chuxiao lowered her eyes and asked, "If it weren't for the sudden uprising in Xiyue, what would my grandfather have planned to do when he returned to Beijing?"
Murong Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and he said slowly, "The prince has grown up and no longer needs my protection. Naturally, I, an old man, have to follow my old friend. Chu Wenxuan used your wedding to test me, and I have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move countless times."
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "But grandpa didn't..."
Murong Yuan said slowly, "If I act openly, not only will I ruin your wedding, but I will also put you in an unjust situation. What will the decades of forbearance mean? But I have already made some arrangements in secret to catch Wei Junyan and Chu Wenxuan in one fell swoop, but then something unexpected happened in Xiyue, so I had to put it aside for the time being...
He re-ennobled me the title of Marquis of Xibo. Everything was in my calculations. After the matter in the northwest is settled, I will naturally have a new way to kill those two bastards..."
Bai Chuxiao smiled bitterly, "It's just that my grandfather chose to temporarily put aside his hatred in front of the country, which really made things easier for others."
Murong Yuan sighed slightly, "Yes, I was wrong about this matter. In order to destroy the Qin family, Chu Wenxuan instigated Wei Junyan to sell military intelligence to Beiyan, allowing the Beiyan people to enter the pass. I didn't expect that Chu Tianling would do the same thing decades later. He took advantage of the war in the northwest to quickly control the imperial city and seize the throne. He even used Xiyue to hinder us..."
Bai Chuxiao said helplessly, "Tell Tianze? If we don't tell him, he will hear it from someone else sooner or later."
Murong Yuan sighed, "He has the blood of the Duke of Dingguo in his body and is responsible for countless lives, but the young lady certainly doesn't want him to live with hatred... The prince is an open-minded person. We kept it a secret in the past because Chu Wenxuan was his father after all, and we didn't want to make things difficult for him. Now that Chu Wenxuan is dead and the throne has fallen into the hands of the enemy, there is actually no need to keep this a secret..."
Suddenly, Murong Xuan's voice came from outside the tent, "Prince!"
Bai Chuxiao's heart tightened. When she walked out of the tent, Chu Tianze was nowhere to be seen.
Murong Cheng went to handle military affairs, leaving only Murong Che, Murong Xuan and Murong Shuo outside the tent.
Bai Chuxiao asked quickly, "When did Tianze come?"
Murong Xuan and the other two shook their heads together. They saw a disappearing figure. Bai Chuxiao was speechless. For the first time, she felt that these three brothers were so unreliable. She didn't say anything more and went after Chu Tianze directly.
Murong Yuan stepped out of the tent and looked at the three confused people. He said sternly, "You three should really practice hard. How could the Murong family have such idiots like you?"
The three young masters all felt very aggrieved by their grandfather's scolding. With Chu Tianze's skill, it was normal for him to avoid the three of them and approach the tent to hear something...
Murong Che frowned and asked, "What did Grandfather and Sister Xiao say?"
Murong Yuan said with a sullen face, "Go call Cheng'er over, and all of you come in too..." Some things need to be explained clearly.
If Chu Tianze concealed it intentionally, he would not be noticed, but she probably knew where he would go.
Bai Chuxiao led a horse and left the camp without hesitation.
Yu Fengyang was left confused and shouted, "Princess, where are you going?" While she was talking, she had already walked a long way.
Yu Fengyang murmured, "Chu Tianze just rode away without saying a word. Why is the princess also like this? Did they have a quarrel?"
Mo Yan quietly appeared behind him and said slowly, "That's impossible."
Yu Fengyang was startled and was about to say something
Mo Wen suddenly appeared again and said calmly, "Absolutely impossible"
Yu Fengyang was startled again and said unhappily, "Why are you two so elusive? You don't want to learn good things, but instead follow Xia Fan and his group to learn shady things..."
Mo Yan and Mo Wen looked at each other. What Xia Fan said was called reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance... The effect was really good! They still need to learn more...
On the official road from the camp back to Dingzhou City, two horses were galloping at full speed, one in front and one behind...
Bai Chuxiao looked at the blurry figure in front of her and said in a deep voice, "Chu Tianze, stop!"
Chu Tianze ignored it and stopped at the gate of Dingzhou.
Bai Chuxiao caught up with him, looked at the hesitant man and said slowly, "Tianze, calm down..."
Chu Tianze was quiet for a long time before he said calmly, "I am very calm."
The guard on the tower looked at the two people who didn't move and was a little confused. "My Lord, Princess, do you want to enter the city?" But he didn't get a response for a long time...
Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you to see your mother..."
Chu Tianze's eyes were filled with complex expressions. After a long time, he slowly said, "Let's go back."
Bai Chuxiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Chu Tianze leaped onto Bai Chuxiao's horse, and the two of them quickly disappeared at the city gate and headed towards the camp...
The guard on the tower saw this and scratched his head in confusion. It was so strange...
Chu Tianze said nothing along the way. The two traveled all night and when they returned to the camp, it was already noon the next day.
Inside the tent, Bai Chuxiao whispered, "Tianze..."
Chu Tianze hugged her and said calmly, "You've been busy all night, take a rest."
Bai Chuxiao saw that he was intentionally avoiding the topic, so she could only nod helplessly. After a sleepless night, she was indeed sleepy...
