Chapter 149 Send Xie Xin and the others back, I will replace them
When the deputy general heard what the soldiers said, his face turned very ugly.
He asked, "Where is the princess? What is the situation now?"
The soldier said, "The princess has been taken to the tower by the rebels. They told us to retreat fifty miles, otherwise they would push the princess down."
The deputy general was shocked. It turned out that this matter could not be concealed.
Now, they have brought Her Royal Highness the Princess to the city wall of Jizhou City. Before long, everyone will know about this.
It is inevitable that the military's morale will fluctuate.
The deputy general looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Miss Yun, what should we do now? Is there really no other way?"
Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look first!"
After saying that, she walked out.
She came outside the tent and saw many soldiers standing outside the tent, looking towards the direction of the city wall.
The city wall was far away, but one could still see the rebels holding Xie Xin and Jiang Wanqiu.
A scout came back and reported: "The rebels want us to retreat fifty miles. But the princess wants us to not retreat! She said that even if she dies, we cannot retreat!"
At this time, Xie Sheng appeared.
Xie Sheng originally went to the rebel territory to kill the man wearing the Yama mask.
What he didn't expect was that not only did he fail to kill the man, but he also exposed his whereabouts, leading to himself being besieged by the rebels.
After his men escaped, they told Xie Xin that she was trapped.
He didn't expect Xie Xin would bring people to rescue him without saying a word.
Although he was rescued, Xie Xin was unable to escape.
Looking at Xie Xin and others who were tied to the city wall, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Xie Sheng came to Yun Chuwei and asked, "Chuwei, what should we do now? Should we follow the rebels' instructions and retreat fifty miles?"
He felt that Xie Xin was imprisoned just to save him.
As long as he can save Xie Xin, he is willing to do anything.
Yun Chuwei just glanced at Xie Sheng and ignored him.
The deputy general who had been following Yun Chuwei said, "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess said we can't retreat, then we definitely can't retreat. Even if we retreat, they won't let Her Royal Highness the Princess go. They will only push their luck!"
Xie Sheng frowned. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he still felt that what the deputy general said made sense.
He looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "Chuwei, do you have any ideas?"
Yun Chuwei didn't answer, and didn't even look at Xie Sheng.
She just looked at the city wall in the distance, silent.
Xie Sheng's hands were shaking slightly and his face looked very ugly.
He didn't expect that even at this point, Yun Chuwei was still unwilling to pay attention to him.
He wanted to say something, but at this time, Huo Qingjue beside Yun Chuwei spoke.
Huo Qingjue said to Xie Sheng, "Your Highness, please do not disturb Miss Yun from thinking about countermeasures. If you really want to talk, why don't you tell me why you suddenly ran to the rebels' territory and encountered danger? Why do you need the princess to rescue you? Also, why did the princess come back safe and sound when she rescued you, but the princess did not come back? Why is that?"
At first, no one knew why Xie Xin was captured by the rebels. Now, after listening to Huo Qingjue's words, they understood.
It turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess was captured by the rebels in order to rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
They all looked at Xie Sheng, wanting him to give them a reasonable explanation.
Xie Sheng's face turned pale and blue, and he was unable to utter a word for a long time.
He originally wanted to get rid of that person and prevent him from threatening Yun Chuwei's safety.
But he couldn't do it.
The deputy general was also puzzled by what Xie Sheng did, and he also wanted an answer.
So, he turned to Xie Sheng and said, "Your Highness, is this question difficult to answer?"
Xie Sheng pursed his lips, then said: "I just know that someone in the rebel territory is a serious threat to Miss Yun's safety, so I went deep into the rebel territory to resolve this hidden danger!"
Yun Chuwei sneered after hearing this: "Would His Royal Highness be so kind?"
Xie Sheng looked at Yun Chuwei deeply and said seriously: "Chuwei, why can't you believe what I say?"
Yun Chu sneered and said nothing.
At this time, Yan Wei came over.
Yun Chuwei knew that the news she had been waiting for had arrived.
She asked Yan Wei, "Uncle Yan, have you found out?"
Yan Wei nodded, then handed the letter in his hand to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei took out the letter and read it.
After reading the letter, she said to Xie Sheng, "Your Highness the Crown Prince contacted the rebels and led them to capture me. Is this what you said about going deep into the rebel territory for me? Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you know that your behavior is no different from treason?"
When the people around heard this, their expressions changed.
Xie Sheng's face also changed drastically, and he immediately retorted: "I didn't! I have never done such a thing!"
Yun Chu smiled mockingly and said indifferently: "Whether it was done or not, your majesty will make the decision after returning to the capital. As for the evidence, it will appear on your majesty's desk tomorrow!"
She felt strange that the rebels came to capture her regardless of anything.
It turned out that Xie Sheng had handed some information to the rebels.
The rebels knew that she was the descendant of Prime Minister Yun, and also the heir of the Sage of Strategy and the Genius of War.
They believed that if they could get her, the uprising would have a chance of success.
That's why they wanted to take her away.
Xie Sheng's face looked grim, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Yun Chuwei no longer paid attention to Xie Sheng, and said to the deputy general: "Tell the rebels to send Xie Xin and the others back, I will go and replace them!"
Xie Sheng publicized those things for her among the rebels, which did have some benefits.
Since the rebels want to use her, she will be safe on their side.
But Xie Xin and the others are different.
It would be dangerous for them to stay with the rebels.
In order to prevent them from getting into trouble, the best way is to replace them.
Huo Qingjue heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "Miss, no!"
If anything happened to Yun Chuwei, they would all be doomed.
Yan Wei nodded quickly: "Miss, we may have a better way."
Xie Sheng also hurriedly said: "Chu Wei, you can't put yourself in danger!"
Yun Chu smiled sarcastically: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has connections with the rebels, I think he knows that I will be treated as an honored guest when I go to the rebels. My life will not be in danger, but the Fifth Princess and the others are in great danger. So, for now, there is no better way."
Yun Chuwei turned his gaze back to the deputy general and said, "Go! Bring the message!"
The deputy general knelt down, bowed slightly to Yun Chuwei, and then left.
