Chapter 267: Heading North
Now, Liu Shisan's back is the great crime of assassinating the prince, and whoever helps him intercede at this time is easily misunderstood as having something to do with his actions.
Now, Li Yunxing is coming here with great momentum, it is definitely not simple, they should not act rashly, lest Li Yunxing seize the handle.
"This matter is a foregone conclusion, you don't want to interfere again."
And according to Liu Shisan, these people should be found by his own cleverness, and if he continues to investigate, it is easy to involve his son.
So it's better to push the boat down the river and end the case like this.
Liu Zhongqing was ruthless, and when Liu Chen was uneasy, he directly pulled out the sword on the waist of the guard and walked forward quickly.
"Liu Shisan, you actually dare to find someone to assassinate the prince, and you also tried to frame the blame on my son, so vicious."
After speaking, I saw a flash of cold light, and Liu Zhongqing had already killed Liu Shisan on the spot, this knife was fast and ruthless, regardless of the friendship of Liu Shisan is the general of the Liu family.
Liu Chen's eyes widened on the side, and it was extremely heartbroken.
He had no way to resent his father, because he knew that this was his father's move to abandon the car and protect the handsome, so he could only put all his resentment on Li Yunxing's head.
Li Yunxing put away his sword, fortunately he was far away, otherwise he would be splashed with blood again.
"The Liu family is really good at educating their subordinates, and they actually wanted to assassinate the subordinates of the prince, and I don't know if his master thought so in his heart, so he dared to do this."
Liu Zhongqing threw the sword aside in his hand and replied respectfully.
"My Liu family is loyal to Emperor Wu, heaven and earth can be learned, in order to maintain the dignity of the Wu Dynasty, even at the expense of righteousness, we have reached this point in our hearts, does the prince still have doubts?"
What he said was conclusive, as if Li Yunxing continued to suspect them, he would force them to death.
Li Yunxing is also inconvenient to argue with him about anything, the top priority now is to jointly resist the Xiongnu, since this matter has been resolved, the southeast battalion will naturally go north with him.
Li Yunxing originally wanted to temporarily replace the injured Liu Chen as a general and lead the southeast army to pull out the camp and set off, but where did Liu Chen agree to let his forces infiltrate the southeast army, so he dragged the sick body to command.
It's just that Liu Chen just lost a brother and had to rush with an injury, and he was even more jealous of Li Yunxing, and he was indignant in his heart.
According to Liu Zhongqing, it is necessary to focus on the overall situation, after all, in this crisis, there are many ways to deal with Li Yunxing, but it is by no means a move in the process of marching with the army.
But Liu Chen suffered such a great humiliation, where could he endure it?
If he could have made a decision earlier, when Li Yunxing first came, when he had not used demonic words to bewitch the southeastern army, he could have separated the forbidden army and killed him by taking the opportunity, maybe the good brother would not have died.
At that time, even if Emperor Wu investigates it, they can also push the matter to the nearby wandering bandits, here Emperor Tiangao Yuan Wu Huang, even if he really wants to investigate, when he sends someone to come, any clues will be broken.
Besides, even if Emperor Wu came, in his own realm, he couldn't find anything if he wanted to, and if there was no real evidence, he would not be able to easily punish such a meritorious minister of the Liu family.
They should have acted decisively, and they would only hurt themselves in the end, and he decided that on the march, he must take this bad breath.
Liu Yin hid in the barracks, originally wanting to watch his brother get into trouble, but he didn't expect that the matter would pass inexplicably, and the army was about to go north.
He was a little annoyed, Liu Chen was so lucky that he escaped again.
No matter what he thought in his heart, but Li Yunxing acted with the army, he was timid in his heart and had been hiding in secret.
Maybe it was because he was secretly following him that he secretly discovered a great secret, such as his brother was plotting something with his subordinates.
And they are avoiding Liu Zhongqing, those subordinates are also good brothers with Liu Shisan, this person is dead, friends will naturally not give up, and what they are plotting may be to get rid of Li Yunxing.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.
Liu Yin suddenly looked forward to Liu Chen's move, no matter who died between the two of them, it would be a good thing for him.
The army was camped by the river to rest, and Li Yunxing frowned.
"When will it be there?"
Liu Chen hadn't recovered from the matter of Liu Shisan's life and death, and when he heard Li Yunxing's words, he subconsciously vetoed.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never led a large army, so naturally he doesn't know that the army is marching, and he will move his whole body with one shot, and besides, there are so many soldiers in my southeast army, so I can't go fast at all."
Li Yunxing knew that this was probably another procrastination trick invited by Liu Zhongqing, and it seemed that the road would not be peaceful.
Sure enough, that night, the soldiers didn't know whether they had eaten something bad or had a problem with the water they drank, but they all showed symptoms of poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea one by one, and their faces were sallow.
This is good, if you don't solve it in time, you can't go out at all.
The military doctor immediately treated every soldier, and the result was only a temporary bad stomach and a good rest.
Li Yunxing was furious.
"Now that the Xiongnu are pressing the border, the southeast army is ordered to guard the Wu Dynasty, guarding the future of the Wu Dynasty and the lives of millions of people, how can you be delayed like this."
The military doctor immediately knelt on the ground, trembling with fright from the prince's words.
"Back to the prince, it's not that the soldiers are unwilling to move forward, it's really a shortage of food and grass, and the soldiers can only eat wild grasses to satisfy their hunger, so they accidentally ate poisonous weeds."
Grain and grass? Grain and grass again?
All places cannot solve the problem of grain and grass, and if this continues, the future of the Wu Dynasty is worrying.
Li Yunxing came to the back kitchen of the camp angrily, and sure enough, he saw that there were still some weeds boiling in the soup pot, if there was really no food and grass, and he wanted to use weeds to satisfy his hunger, why not mix the two?
Just such a pot of weeds, if it is distributed to all the soldiers of the entire southeast army, everyone may not even be able to see Cai Xingzi, even if the weeds are really poisonous, there will be no problems.
Instead, the weeds were boiled in a pot, and it was clear that this would only be the case if those who were sick drank the weed soup.
He instantly understood that this was Liu Zhongqing's procrastination again, he saw that the army had to go north, so he came up with a way to make the soldiers sick and unable to go north.
Li Yunxing immediately called all the people in the back kitchen over and pointed to the weed soup in the iron pot.
"Let me ask you, who made this pot of soup?"
The kitchen lady of the southeast army is called Liu Chun, who is in her 40s, although she is a cook, she is extremely thin, and she looks like a sharp-beaked monkey.
Although Liu Chun is also surnamed Liu, he is only a child of a subordinate family, and has nothing to do with the main family, and completely obeys Liu Chen.
She glanced at the iron pot, with disdain in her eyes, and said lightly.
"I cooked it."
