Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 468 Interrogation and Actions by All Parties

"What? You don't want to see me? But unfortunately, it seems that you can't make the decision now. I am the one who makes the decision now, so I hope that General Wang will not make it difficult for me." Xue Wanfeng said

"Well, ask whatever you want to ask. I can tell you what I can tell you." Wang Junkuo said

"Smart, I like dealing with smart people, this way we can save each other's time. Now I want to know, what are you and Ashler planning?" Xue Wanfeng said

"I didn't expect you to ask me this first? There's nothing to be said now. The Ashile people found us, so they naturally want Youzhou." Wang Junkuo said

"Of course I know all this. Tell me something I don't know, such as who is the person negotiating with you and what you plan to do?" Xue Wanfeng said in a deep voice.

"The person negotiating with us was Ashile Falcon at first, but later he became the Little Khan of Ashile Tribe. If we hadn't failed to meet the Little Khan's conditions, we would have succeeded by now!"

"It's not like I'd be locked up so easily by you." Wang Junkuo said with some emotion.
"Oh? This makes me curious. What conditions did the young Khan propose? Why couldn't you fulfill them?" Xue Wanfeng asked.

"Haha, if it was normal conditions, we could certainly accomplish it easily, but this time the Heavenly Sword is different. The Ashile tribe wants the Crown Prince's Seal." Wang Junkuo said with some self-mockery.
"What? The Crown Prince's Seal? You mean, Princess Yongning is carrying the Crown Prince's Seal? Do many people know about this? Who knows?" Xue Wanfeng asked
"Haha, it seems that you are also tempted, right? Don't worry, the Prince's Seal is such an important thing, how could it be known to too many people?"

"Besides Li Yuan and I, only the Ashile people know about it." Wang Junkuo said with a smile

"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much for your cooperation, General Wang. As a reward for you, I can now agree to a less excessive request of yours." Xue Wanfeng said

"I don't have any other requests. I just want to know what you are going to do next. After all, there is no way back on this path you are on, right?" Wang Junkuo said

"Haha, don't worry about this, General Wang. Since you don't have any requirements, I'll take my leave." Xue Wanfeng ignored him and turned around and left.

After Xue Wanfeng left, Wang Junkuo no longer had the calmness he had just had, but simply collapsed to the ground. At this time, he felt a surge of fear in his heart.

His calmness just now was all pretended, and the reason he did this was naturally to save his life. He knew very well that he must not be too soft at this time, or he must not be softer than Li Yuan, otherwise, he would die very quickly.

And the fact is indeed so. Compared with him, Li Yuan at this moment is indeed a little unbearable. Xue Wanfeng looked at Li Yuan in front of him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"What a waste, Li Yuan! You are such a piece of trash? You can also be sent to guard Youzhou? It seems that Li Yuan is really confused in his old age."

"Since you are so afraid of death, I will kill you now! Come on, kill Li Yuan for me and send his head to the army!" After Xue Wanfeng said this, he turned around and left.

Soon, a scream was heard from behind, but Xue Wangfeng did not stop. Instead, he asked Wang Li, "Did Wei Shuyu let him go?"

"General, Wei Shuyu has been gone for a quarter of an hour. I guess he should be out of the city soon, right?" Wang Li said respectfully.

"Well, good, good, okay, now that we have finished what we need to do, let's go back. Our princess has hidden a lot of things." Xue Wanfeng said

Just when Xue Wanfeng was leaving the prison, Wei Shuyu, who was about to leave the city directly, was stopped by Hao Du, and the two eventually arrived at a remote courtyard.

"Young Master Wei, how did you get out? Was it because of Li Changge?" Hao Du asked
"Haodu, I know your mission, but this time it's not because of Changge, but because of Xue Balang. He has something for me to tell His Majesty, so he let me go." Wei Shuyu said

"Hmm? Since you are going to deliver this message to His Majesty, I won't ask you any more. Please do as you please, young master. By the way, don't forget to pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess from the inn." Hao Du said in a deep voice.
"Haodu, I'm afraid this won't work. This time I'm afraid you and I have to go together." Wei Shuyu shook his head.

"What? Young Master Wei, you should know my mission, right? I can't go back to Chang'an without completing the mission assigned by my adoptive father." Hao Du said directly
"Haodu, I'm afraid it's beyond your control. You may not know that Xue Wanfeng passed by that inn on his way here. Princess Yong'an is already in the governor's mansion." Wei Shuyu said helplessly.
"What did you say? Wei Shuyu, you said the princess is in the governor's mansion?" Hao Du asked
"Yes, she is indeed in the Governor's Mansion, but you don't have to worry. With Changge here, she will be fine. And I will apologize to His Majesty this time. This matter has nothing to do with you." Wei Shuyu said

After hearing this, Hao Du did not speak for a while. After a long while, he said, "Young Master Wei, if that's the case, why do you want me to go back with you?"

"Haodu, this is Xue Wanfeng's request. If you don't leave, your life will be in danger. More importantly, he has the princess in his hands now."

"He told me that if you don't leave, he will negotiate with His Majesty and exchange Princess Yong'an for Mr. Keming. You should know Mr. Keming's character. If he knew about this, Mr. Keming would come here on his own regardless of whether His Majesty agrees or not."

"Are you planning to put Mr. Keming in danger? Don't forget that Mr. Keming is not Princess Yong'an. Changge will not speak for him." Wei Shuyu said

After hearing this, Haodu was completely shaken. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that almost everything Wei Shuyu said could come true.

He knew his adoptive father's character very well. He knew that his adoptive father would definitely agree to what Wei Shuyu said. Thinking of this, he could only nod helplessly.

When Wei Shuyu saw Hao Du nodded, he felt relieved. After all, he was really worried that Hao Du would not agree. If that happened, Mr. Keming would be in danger.

You know, it was his mission to escort the princess to Luoyang. If anything happened to Mr. Keming because of the princess, the account would be held against their Wei family.

Given their family's current embarrassing situation, they really couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility, so the two of them left Youzhou City together and returned to Chang'an.

At this time, Xue Wanfeng had already arrived at Li Changge's room, but the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, and neither of them spoke.

"General Xue, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you." Li Changge said

"Princess, is what Wang Junkuo said true? Do you really have that thing in your hand?" Xue Wanfeng asked

"Yes, I do have it, but it's not in my hands now. The day you entered the city, I was actually waiting for someone to deliver it to me." Li Changge said

"Princess, you should have told me earlier. I know you don't trust me, but it doesn't matter. I believe you will trust me in the future." "As for that thing, you don't have to worry. I don't want it. It may be important to you, but to me it's just a dead object."

"Okay, Princess, you don't have to worry. It's very safe here. I'll take my leave first." After Xue Wanfeng finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Changge.

"General Xue, please wait a minute. Can you tell me what you are planning to do?" Li Changge said

After hearing this, Xue Wanfeng turned around and sat down, but he did not directly answer Li Changge's question. Instead, he asked, "Princess, what answer do you want from me?"

"Don't worry, nothing you worry about will happen. I have my own reasons for everything I do. It's not the time to tell you now. You will know when the time comes."

After Xue Wanfeng finished speaking, he stood up and left. This time, Li Changge did not dissuade him. Xue Wanfeng left the room directly. Li Changge looked at his leaving back and thought to himself, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Xue Wanfeng had no idea what Li Changge was thinking. He had to write a letter to Prince Yan and tell him about the situation. This could not be delayed at all.

At this time, the news of Youzhou's events finally reached the capital. Li Shimin called his two most trusted confidants to discuss countermeasures.

"Keming, Xuanling, please sit down. You should have heard about what happened. Tell me, what should we do now? Should we raise an army to quell the rebellion?" Li Shimin asked directly.
"Your Majesty, we should take advantage of their instability to suppress the rebellion, but we cannot ignore Luo Yi in Jingyang, so we cannot act rashly now."

"Besides, Prince Yin's former subordinates in various places must have known about this matter, and they are all waiting for your decision. If you raise an army now, all your previous efforts will be in vain." Fang Xuanling said directly

"Yes, I am also worried about this, so I have not made a decision yet. Keming, what do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin asked

"Your Majesty, I think we should take precautions early. As the saying goes, we should always be on guard against others. Even if we don't want to launch an attack, we should still be prepared." Du Ruhui said

"Your Majesty, Brother Du is right. We should indeed be prepared, but our preparations should be aimed at Luo Yi, not Xue Wanfeng." Fang Xuanling said directly.

"Oh? What do you mean, sir? Why don't you target Xue Wanfeng?" Li Shimin asked
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? There is another person on Mount Zhongnan outside the city. As long as he can be used by Your Majesty, Xue Wanfeng will naturally not be a concern." Fang Xuanling said

"Yes, how could I have forgotten this? Come on, quickly send Xue Wanjun to see me." Li Shimin suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly shouted outside.
Xue Wanjun arrived soon. After paying his respects to Li Shimin, he stood there waiting for Li Shimin to speak. In fact, he had guessed some of the reasons before he came.

As expected, he guessed it right. When Li Shimin saw him, he immediately asked, "Wanjun, how are you doing with what I asked you to do before?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to fulfill your trust. My fourth brother is very stubborn. I went there several times but returned empty-handed." Xue Wanjun said

"Hmm? Is that so? Okay, get up quickly. You can't be blamed for this. It's not easy to accomplish. Okay, you go down first." Li Shimin said

After hearing this, Xue Wanjun naturally bowed quickly and then retreated.

After he left, Li Shimin said, "You two, now it's your turn. Tell me, what should we do to get Xue Wanche down the mountain?"

"Your Majesty, since General Xue's appearances have had no effect, I'm afraid it's not enough to make Xue Wanche believe all this now."

"So right now, it's probably not possible to rely on General Xue alone. Even if General Xue has your will, it will be useless. We need to send other people." Fang Xuanling said

"Hmm? Send someone else? Xuanling, what do you mean? Send Wei Zheng?" Li Shimin asked

"Your Majesty is wise. That's right. That's what I meant. Your Majesty, when the Xue brothers first entered the Eastern Palace, they were ostracized. Wei Zheng couldn't bear it and helped them." Fang Xuanling said

"Is that so? Then let Wei Zheng give it a try. That's all about Youzhou. Next, let's talk about Jingyang." Li Shimin said

By the time Li Shimin knew about it, the Ashile tribe had also known everything they should know, but their opinions were not consistent, or rather, Ashile Falcon and Ashile Sher were not consistent.

"Great Khan, I think we can try to win over Xue Wanfeng. There is no need to rush to send troops. Xue Wanfeng is not an outsider."

"The Xue brothers have been following Luo Yi and fighting with us in Youzhou for many years. It is impossible for them to have an unstable foothold." Ashile Falcon said
"Uncle Khan, what Falcon said is too exaggerated. It is true that the Xue brothers have followed Luo Yi for many years, but they are Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, not Xue Wanfeng, a young boy!"

"The Youzhou army may listen to Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, but they will definitely not surrender so easily to Xue Wanfeng, a sweater-haired kid."

"Even if it is Luo Yi's military order, it is the same. After all, this is human nature." She Er said
"Well, She'er, what you said does make sense, but now is not the time to attack Youzhou. Our goal this time is the three continents of Dai, Yun, and Shuo, especially Shuozhou. I am determined to win it!"

"We can't lose the big picture because of the small. After all, Xue Wanfeng is now a traitor to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin will naturally help us deal with him. We don't need to do it ourselves."

"If we attack Youzhou now, we will actually help Li Shimin." said the Great Khan

After hearing this, the other people present did not talk about returning it for a moment. Even though She'er was somewhat unwilling, he still had to endure it.

After walking out of the big tent, She'er walked up to Falcon and said, "Hmph, I'll remember what happened this time. We're not done yet!" After saying that, She'er left without looking back.

Falcon looked at the other person's back and left expressionlessly.
