Emperor Wu said solemnly: "No matter what Lao Wu thinks, for violating my will like this, I must send people to take over the three border cities, so I want to hear your idea, who should I send?"
Wu Yuan finally understood Emperor Wu's intention and most likely wanted to let him pass.
But in his eyes, Wu Yuan knew that going out like this was no different from seeking death.
The master of Qianlu Merchant Guild is worried that he can't wait for the opportunity to make a move, but he stupidly joins in?
"Father, why do you think Lao Wu resisted the decree?" Wu Yuan asked.
Emperor Wu was startled, and then said with an ugly face: "Lao Wu is very scheming, and I can't guarantee his true intentions. Of course, there may be something unexpected over there, so no matter what, we need to send a capable person to investigate.
, and accept it there.”
After saying that, Emperor Wu just looked at Wu Yuan, waiting for Wu Yuan's reply.
But Wu Yuan's reply was, "Father, I think it is most appropriate to leave this matter to the second child."
"Leave it to the second child?" Emperor Wu was surprised, this was different from what he thought.
If he hadn't been worried that ordering Wu Yuan to go out would make Wu Yuan feel grudge, he wouldn't have come to discuss it with Wu Yuan at all.
When hesitating, Wu Yuan spoke again: "Father, to put it bluntly, there is no room for reconciliation between the three border cities. The second one has special skills and is more suitable to be a commander. This time, let the second one practice it."
It’s also good.”
"As for Lao Wu, I don't dare to say for sure, but I want to say that Lao Wu is very smart. He may not have the intention to disobey his father, but he must know the importance of these five million taels to the world, and he also understands
The importance of children."
The words had already reached this point, but Wu Yuan didn't believe that Emperor Wu still didn't understand.
"I understand. I will consider your words. You don't have to worry about the five million taels of silver. As long as the silver is still in Lao Wu's hands, I will definitely help you recover it."
"Thank you, father." Wu Yuan said hypocritically.
Not long after, Emperor Wu left with the queen.
But soon, the decree came out, and Wu Zheng led 30,000 forbidden troops to the three border cities.
At the same time, Wu Zheng also received a secret order, which mentioned two things.
"Recover five million taels of silver and investigate the situation of Lao Wu. If necessary, kill him first and report later."
Wu Zheng was also frightened after receiving such a secret order.
Although he knew that there was competition between the brothers, he had also thought about killing each other, especially Wu Yuan.
But I never thought of doing it myself.
Moreover, if he really takes action, even if there is enough reason, the fact of fratricide will follow him throughout his life.
It might even arouse the resentment of Emperor Wu.
This was a losing business no matter how you calculated it, and Wu Zheng was so angry that he trembled.
When he heard that Wu Yuan had the idea, Wu Zheng directly "killed" Dong Palace.
Seeing Wu Zheng's menacing look, everyone around him was startled. They thought that the battle between the princes was about to start again?
"Wu Yuan, come out right away, right away." Wu Zheng shouted outside the door.
Wu Yuan was very cooperative this time, and walked out calmly without waiting for Wu Zheng to shout a few times.
Wu Zheng grabbed Wu Yuan's collar and said, "You Wu Yuan, you dug such a big hole for me. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will risk my life."
"Get away!" Wu Yuan only responded with two words.
"Wu Yuan!" Wu Zheng also shouted through gritted teeth.
"Go away, I'll count to 3!" Wu Yuan stared at Wu Zheng indifferently.
The next second, he started counting directly, "3!"
Wu Zheng subconsciously let go of his hand. After reacting, he said to Wu Yuan angrily: "Are you kidding me? Let you eat 1 and 2?"
Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Second brother, actually, I really don't hate you. You're quite cute. Keep it up."
Wu Zheng took a deep breath to calm down, and then asked: "Wu Yuan, what do you mean? Do you know what my father asked me to do?"
"Of course I know, didn't I just give you a dragon-slaying knife?" Wu Yuan said lightly.
"What a dragon-slaying knife, don't talk nonsense." Wu Zheng was so frightened that he quickly looked around.
After confirming that no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Wu Yuan speechlessly, "Aren't you afraid that the news will reach Father's ears?"
"If my father really wants to touch me, why would he say anything?" Wu Yuan said nonchalantly.
"Are you dissatisfied with your father?" Wu Zheng looked at Wu Yuan in shock.
Wu Yuan neither admitted nor denied, but asked: "Are you satisfied?"
Wu Zheng was speechless when asked. To be precise, Wu Zheng did not dare to speak at all.
"Okay, stop pretending. My father has already ruined your future, so what else can you pretend to do?" Wu Yuan looked at Wu Zheng with some sympathy.
"As expected, you all know." Wu Zheng stared at Wu Yuan fiercely.
Wu Zheng's heart was bleeding. If he really killed Lao Wu, that position would no longer be available to him unless he rebelled, but Wu Zheng had never had this idea.
But now, Wu Zheng placed all the blame on Wu Yuan.
"Wu Yuan, is this all your plan? You used five million taels of silver to plot against Lao Wu, and then you used Lao Wu to plot against me? Yes or no?"
Seeing that Wu Zheng was about to collapse emotionally, Wu Yuan also sympathized.
"Second brother, it's true that the conspiracy against fifth child is because I don't like someone stabbing me in the back."
"On the contrary, I don't object to you fighting. This is normal. If you don't fight, how can you live up to your status as a prince?"
The first time he heard Wu Yuan say such words, Wu Zheng was very surprised and a little shocked.
"Young people don't do secret things. If I want to deal with you, I will never do this. At the very least, I will make you kneel in front of me and say that you are convinced."
"But are you convinced now?" Wu Yuan asked.
"Of course I'm not convinced." After saying that, Wu Zheng also understood what Wu Yuan meant.
"Okay, I will believe you just once. Regarding what you just said, I will help you recover the five million taels." Wu Zheng said with confidence.
Wu Yuan was naturally happy, "The second child is still interesting."
"In that case, my brother will also give you a clever tip." Wu Yuan said suddenly.
After hearing this, Wu Zheng wanted to refuse. After all, he was very proud in his heart, but he still couldn't help but want to hear what Wu Yuan would say.
Then I heard Wu Yuan say: "Second Brother, if I were Lao Wu, if I knew that you were coming, I would have set up a dragnet to wait for you. However, the three border cities have limited troops that can be dispatched by Lao Wu, so I guess, he will
Looking for foreign aid.”
Wu Zheng's expression changed, "Is that treason?"
Wu Yuan sneered "Haha", "Who cares? Living is the most important thing, isn't it?"
