Chapter 2498 Death and Escape

Wu Chengqi soon saw Wu Po and told him the matter.

Wu Po frowned when he heard this: "Why did he come in person? This is against military law!"

Commanders in various places were not allowed to leave the local area without the command of the Ministry of War or His Majesty. Xiong Yue was courting death by doing this, and if they went to see him, they would also be punished once His Majesty knew about it.

Wu Po expressed this concern.

Wu Chengqi was startled and said hurriedly: "Then we won't go see him. Deputy General Jin, go and send him away. Just pretend that he has never been to Jin Dou Mansion and we will not report him."

Look how loyal our Wu family is.

Vice General Jin choked when he heard this. The idiot father and son had become smarter, but now the arrow was on the string and they had to go, and they had to go even if they didn't!

He said: "Xiong Yue is the commander of the capital. I am just a deputy general and I don't have enough weight. If we drive him away, he will hate us in the Central Plains... It's better for Master Wu and Young Master Wu to go there. You are the commander of Wu." His relatives are important enough to invite him away."

He added: "I also invited Commander Yu and his colleagues to come with the troops. With him in charge, Xiong Yue would not dare to do anything even if he was angry."

Speaking of Yu Tongzhi, Vice General Jin was angry. He had been with Wu Mang for many years, cleaning up a lot of messes for Wu Po and his son, but Wu Mang did not promote him to the position of Commander Tongzhi, but promoted him to someone named Yu!

So if something happens to the Wu family, it's not his fault. It's the Wu family who should be sorry for him first.

Wu Po and Wu Chengqi listened, thought about it, and after being urged by Deputy General Jin, they agreed: "Okay, let's go see Xiong Yue."

However, they were afraid of death, so they ordered a hundred soldiers in the camp and took them into the city.

But their few soldiers and horses were not enough for the dead soldiers around Xiong Yue to practice their swordsmanship.

An hour later, Wu Po and his son arrived at a house near the government office... Speaking of which, they were really stupid and didn't let Xiong Yue go to Wu Mansion. If they met in Wu Mansion, Xiong Yue would have a harder time succeeding.

But Vice General Jin was a confidant of the Wu family, and the two of them trusted him, so they didn't think much about it and plunged into this trap.

After entering the house, they soon saw Xiong Yue.

As his name suggests, Xiong Yue is as strong as a mountain, and the Wu family and his son feel oppressed when they meet him.

However, Xiong Yue was very polite to them. The commanding officer was the first to salute them with clasped fists: "Brother Wu, nephew Wu, I am very grateful that you are willing to meet each other."

These words made Wu Po and his son less afraid and started to get mad. When they saw a table of wine and food in the room, they walked directly in and sat down. They pointed at a soldier and said, "Pour the wine."

"...Yes." Xiaobing hurriedly poured the wine, but he was shocked. Is it so easy to fall for the bait? Don’t you wonder if there is poison in this food and wine?

Xiong Yue heard this with disdain, but when he turned to face Wu Po and his son, he put on a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for the honor..."

Wu Po interrupted Xiong Yue and said, "Brother Xiong, I know why you came to Jindou Mansion, but there is really nothing we can do. After this meal, you should go back to provide disaster relief."

Ha, Xiong Yue finally laughed out loud, making Wu Po and his son laugh inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?"

The disaster in Zhongzhou is so severe, are you going crazy with worry?

Xiong Yue said: "I laughed because you guessed wrong the purpose of my coming."

Wu Po frowned: "Aren't you here to borrow troops to provide disaster relief?"

Xiong Yue: "I came here to talk about soldiers, but it's not to borrow troops to provide disaster relief, but to gather troops to attack the guilty emperor."

What does it mean?

This matter was so big that Wu Po and his son did not dare to understand it for a while.

Bang, Xiong Yue slapped his saber on the table and said: "I, Xiong Yue, want to gather the soldiers of Zhongzhou in the Central Plains to attack the Sinful Emperor!"

Wu Po and his son understood this time. They stood up in fright, pointed at Xiong Yue and said, "You are crazy. How dare you make trouble? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the nine tribes?!"

Xiong Yue sneered: "As long as things are done, my Xiong family will be the royal family. Who dares to touch a hair of the Xiong family?"

Wu Chengqi: "Yes, but that's the emperor!"

Xiong Yue: "Your Majesty? He killed Zhongliang, didn't care about the lives of the victims, and even went to war with Da Rong. He plunged Da Chu into war for five years, with countless soldiers and civilians killed and injured. Is he worthy of being the emperor? He is not worthy. There should be someone who is capable. And I, Xiong Yue, am the capable one!"

Xiong Yue looked so imposing, and his words were so murderous that Wu Po and his son were so frightened that they could not speak.

Before Vice General Jin left, he came in and persuaded: "Master Wu, have you ever heard of the saying, a hero emerges from a collapsed landscape..."

He told Wu Po and his son about the 'miraculous things' Xiong Yue had deliberately done in Yongtai Mansion, and added: "Master Wu, Master Wu, Commander Xiong is a real dragon chosen by God, we should help him , and this hard work is not in vain. If it succeeds, the Wu family can be the founding prince of the country, and maybe even a king with a different surname... A king with a different surname, don't you want to be?!"

As soon as the call came down, I originally thought that this stupid father and son would be stunned, but unexpectedly, the Wu family father and son said angrily: "Fart, do you think we are fools? Will you believe this kind of pretentious thing? It's still a mess. Once a hero emerges, even if the Chu Kingdom collapses, it won’t be your turn to be the new emperor, Xiong Yue. Do you regard the Marquis of Qin as a dead person? Do you think he won’t lead his troops to beat you?!”

Xiong Yue was stabbed in a sore spot, so he drew his knife and struck the table. With a click, the knife split the table in half. After calming down the Wu family and his son, he smiled and said, "Emperor Jing Yuan killed Qin Hou's father. The Qin family and Jing family Emperor Yuan has a blood feud and he will not help Emperor Jing Yuan."

He lied again: "I have contacted the Marquis of Qin, and he agreed that I would send troops to attack the guilty emperor and become the new emperor."

Wu Po and his son were so frightened by the knife that they fell to the ground, but they still didn't believe it.

Wu Chengqi said: "Don't talk nonsense, how could the Marquis of Qin help you? If he really wants to rebel, wouldn't it be better for him to raise his own army and become the emperor?"

this?

That makes sense.

But Lieutenant General Jin said: "The Qin family has ancestral training and will not be disloyal to Chu first. Therefore, although the Marquis of Qin deeply hates Emperor Jingyuan, he cannot send troops to attack the guilty emperor first. He can only secretly help Commander Xiong."

"Bah, you still have the nerve to talk, you traitor!" Wu Chengqi pointed at him and said: "My surname is Jin, the Wu family is not kind to you, why did you betray the Wu family? Tell me clearly!"

Vice General Jin laughed when he heard this, walked over, and slapped Wu Chengqi twice, causing Wu Chengqi to fall to the ground after he had just stood up.

Wu Po was shocked and said angrily: "You surnamed Jin, how dare you hit my son!"

Bang, Vice General Jin kicked Wu Po in the heart and kicked Wu Po away. He looked at the father and son and sneered: "You two losers, I have wanted to do this to you for a long time... I will be your Wu family's bully." I have been working as a horse for so many years and you have disrespected me. Forget it. That old man Wu Mang didn’t promote me to Commander, Commander, and Associate Professor. Instead, he promoted me to Yu. Since you Wu family are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust. Everything is fine. You asked for it!"

"You, you..." Wu Po and his son were angry and scared, and were speechless for a moment.

Xiong Yue didn't want to waste time with them and said directly: "Write a letter to call Wu Mang back and convince him to send troops to help me, otherwise you will die!"

And Wu Mang will die when he comes back... because what Xiong Yue wants is not the help of the Wu family, but to destroy the Wu family and swallow up the military strength of the Central Plains.
