Chapter 267 Heading North

Now, Liu Shisan was charged with the serious crime of assassinating the crown prince. Anyone interceding for him at this time could easily be misunderstood as having something to do with his actions.

Now, Li Yunxing came here with great momentum. It was definitely not easy. They had better not act rashly, lest Li Yunxing get the handle.

"This matter is a foregone conclusion. Don't interfere anymore."

And according to Liu Shisan, these people should be found by him because of his cleverness. If he continues to investigate, his son will easily be involved.

So it's better to just go with the flow and settle the case like this.

Liu Zhongqing was cruel and evil. Taking advantage of Liu Chen's uneasiness, he directly drew out the sword from the waist of one of the guards and walked forward quickly.

"Liu Shisan, you actually dare to find someone to assassinate the prince, and you also try to frame the crime on my son. You have such evil intentions."

After saying that, there was only a flash of cold light, and Liu Zhongqing killed Liu Shisan on the spot. The sword was fast and accurate, without caring about Liu Shisan's friendship as a general of the Liu family.

Liu Chen's eyes widened at the side, feeling extremely heartbroken.

He had no way to resent his father, because he knew that this was his father's move to abandon the car to protect the commander, 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 have been splashed with blood again.

"The Liu family is really good at educating their subordinates, but there is a subordinate who wants to assassinate the prince. I wonder if his master thought so in his heart, so he dared to do so."

Liu Zhongqing threw the sword aside and replied respectfully.

"We, the Liu family, are loyal to Emperor Wu. We can learn from heaven and earth. In order to safeguard the dignity of the Wu Dynasty, we would even kill our relatives for justice. We are sincere to this. Do you still have doubts, Prince?"

What he said was so conclusive, it seemed that if Li Yunxing continued to doubt them, he would drive them to death.

It was inconvenient for Li Yunxing to argue with him. The top priority now was to jointly resist the Huns. Now that this matter had been resolved, the Southeast Camp would naturally go north with him.

Li Yunxing originally wanted to temporarily replace the injured Liu Chen as the general and lead the southeastern army to break camp and set off, but Liu Chen never agreed to let his forces infiltrate the southeastern army and dragged his sick body to command.

It's just that Liu Chen had just lost a brother and had to travel with injuries. He was full of fear of Li Yunxing and felt resentful in his heart.

According to Liu Zhongqing, the overall situation must be the top priority. After all, there are many ways to deal with Li Yunxing in this crisis, but they must not be done while marching with the army.

But how could Liu Chen endure such humiliation?

If he could have made an early decision, when Li Yunxing first arrived and before he used his evil words to seduce the southeastern army, he could have separated the Imperial Guards and took the opportunity to kill him. Maybe his good brother would not have died.

By then, even if Emperor Wu pursues the case, they can still push the matter to the nearby refugee bandits. Emperor Tiangao here is far away from Emperor Wu. Even if they really want to investigate, when he sends people to come, all clues will be lost.

.

Moreover, even if Emperor Wu comes, he can't find anything in his own territory even if he wants to. If there is no real evidence, there is no way for such a meritorious minister of the Liu family to be punished easily.

They were supposed to act decisively and worry over and over again, which would only harm themselves in the end. He decided that he must take advantage of this bad breath on the march.

Liu Yin hid in the military camp. He originally wanted to watch his brother get into trouble, but he didn't expect that the incident happened inexplicably, and the army was about to move north.

He was a little upset. Liu Chen was so lucky that he escaped another disaster.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Li Yunxing acted together with the army. He was timid and kept hiding in secret.

Perhaps it was precisely because of following him secretly that he secretly discovered great secrets, such as his elder brother was plotting something with his subordinates.

Moreover, they were avoiding Liu Zhongqing, and those subordinates were also friends with Liu Shisan. After this person died, their friends would naturally not let it go. Their plot might be to get rid of Li Yunxing.

The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit.

Liu Yin suddenly looked forward to Liu Chen taking action. No matter who died between the two of them, it would be a good thing for him.

The army was stationed by the river to rest, and Li Yunxing frowned.

"With this stop and go, when will we arrive?"

Liu Chen had not yet recovered from the matter of Liu Shisan's life and death. When he heard Li Yunxing's words, he subconsciously objected.

"His Royal Highness has never led an army, so naturally he doesn't know how the army is marching. His whole body can be affected by a single move. Besides, our southeastern army has so many soldiers that it can't move fast at all."

Li Yunxing knew that this was probably Liu Zhongqing's invitation, and it seemed that there would be no peace on the road.

Sure enough, that night, the soldiers all showed symptoms of poisoning, whether they had eaten something bad or had something wrong with the water they drank. They were all suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and their faces were sallow.

This is great. If it is not solved in time, it will be completely impossible to move forward.

The military doctors immediately diagnosed and treated each soldier, and the result was that they only needed a temporary stomachache and a good rest.

Li Yunxing was furious.

"Now that the Huns are pressing the border, the southeastern army has been ordered to guard the Wu Dynasty. They are guarding the future of the Wu Dynasty and the lives of tens of thousands of people. How can you be allowed to delay like this?"

The military doctor immediately knelt on the ground and trembled with fright at the prince's words.

"Back to the prince, it's not that the soldiers were unwilling to move forward, it was actually that there was a shortage of food and grass. The soldiers could only eat weeds to satisfy their hunger, and that's why they accidentally ate poisonous weeds."

Grain? Grain again?

No place can solve the problem of food and grass. If this continues, the future of the Wu Dynasty will be worrying.

Li Yunxing angrily came to the camp kitchen and saw some wild grass boiling in the soup pot. If there was really no food and grass and he wanted to use wild grass to satisfy his hunger, why not mix the two?

If just such a pot of weeds were distributed to all the soldiers of the entire southeastern army, no one would even be able to see Cai Xingzi. Even if the weeds were really poisonous, there would be no problem.

Instead, they just cooked a pot of weeds. Obviously, only those who were sick would be like this if they drank the weed soup.

He understood instantly that this was Liu Zhongqing's trick 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 kitchen over and pointed at the wild grass soup in the iron pot.

"Let me ask you, who cooked this pot of soup?"

The cook behind the southeastern army is called Liu Chun. She is in her 40s. Although she is a cook, she is extremely thin and looks like a sharp-mouthed monkey.

Although Liu Chun is also named Liu, he is just a child of a collateral family and has nothing to do with the main family. He completely obeys Liu Chen's orders.

She glanced at the iron pot, with disdain in her eyes, and said lightly.
