Chapter 89

His eyes reddened a bit.

He and Wu Qianfan grew up together since childhood. It wasn\'t an exaggeration to say that they were brothers despite the lack of blood ties. After he crossed the river with the General and the General got captured, he complained about Wu Qianfan because he screwed up. Unexpectedly, it was because he was already dead.

Huo Wujiu, however, fell into silence.

Dead?

Wu Qianfan was his strongest subordinate, and his relationship to him was even closer than Wei Kai. When this man had perished, he should naturally be sad, but...

Before today, he already had some conjectures.

If Wu Qianfan was executed because of poor command, it would be justifiable. But the Great River was as wide as could be, so even if they were engaged in a bloody battle on the riverside, it was impossible to shoot arrows across the river. If Wu Qianfan was shot to death by an arrow, then it was likely when he was in the process of leading his troops across the river.

But if that were the case, it was unlikely that not a single soldier arrived.

So, if Wu Qianfan died accidentally ... it must be that he was silenced.

Because if he were executed, he certainly would have been detained for interrogation, and the only way to keep him from spilling the beans was to let him die accidentally.

After a moment of silence, Huo Wujiu asked, "Who is now guarding Jiangbei?"

Wei Kai answered, "His surname is Li, and first name is Sheng, a former subordinate of His Highness the Crown Prince. I am not familiar with him."

It wasn\'t surprising that his people died and were replaced by the Crown Prince\'s people. After all, he was no longer in the Great Liang now, so it was only natural for the Crown Prince to personally dispatch the army and appoint generals. They should also be people he was more familiar with and those whose capabilities he was more aware of.

However...

If Huo Wujiu hadn\'t seen the fake letter with the Crown Prince\'s personal seal from Jiang Suizhou that day, perhaps he would still think so.

Huo Wujiu remained silent for a while.

Even if his cousin had no problem, there must be something wrong with his cousin\'s men. This being the case, the General guarding the river wasn\'t completely a trustworthy person.

Based on his character, once he found such a problem, he would have gone forward to face the issue without fear.

When all was said and done, the general of the army guarding the river had just changed, nothing more. Even if he retreated ten thousand steps, but that general was bent on guarding the river bank and killing him, he had to weigh who the soldiers under his command supported. As to who would die at that time, that remained unknown.

On the contrary, as long as he prepared in advance, the time when that person wanted to deal with him most would also be the time when he would most likely turn things around and obtain evidence to strike back.

But...

Although his eyes were fixed only on his knees, his mind was thinking of another person.

That man had begged for his asylum in the name of cooperation. If he were to escape alone, the man would surely bear the crime of releasing a captive for him. Also, if he were to take that man away...

On the one hand, he was weak and knew nothing about martial arts, so it would be difficult to protect him in front of two armies before a battle. On the other hand, as a member of the Southern Jing royal family, how was he supposed to deal with him after rashly bringing him back to Northern Liang?

The pampered young prince naturally couldn\'t be a captive.

Huo Wujiu had always chosen the most direct and easiest way to succeed. As for the consequences and risks, he never paid attention to them.

It never occurred to him that he would one day be indecisive, looking ahead into the future and back into the past.

He wanted to give up that easiest shortcut all for the sake of one person.

When Wei Kai heard nothing from his general for quite some time, he could not help being puzzled: "General?"

He knew that the General would definitely be sad after knowing that Wu Qianfan died. But grief aside, they must also focus on the situation at hand. Now that they had finally made contact with the guard of the Great Liang, what was the General still hesitating about?

Just then, Huo Wujiu, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke.

"Wait for the time being," he said. "Don\'t disclose anything about my leg being cured. Tell them it\'s not healed, but keep in touch with them. Send the contents of each letter exchanged for my review, and I will reply."

Wei Kai was dumbfounded.

"General?"

Their General seemed to have heard something and raised his eyes to look out the window.

Then he spotted the guard of His Highness Jingwang appearing far outside the entrance of Anyin Hall, followed by Jingwang in heavy coronet stepping down from the carriage.

The general took a couple of glances and went straight to the bedside. He neatly flipped over the bed covers and pulled the quilt upward. The man who was still walking as if on wings just now could no longer move his legs and was sickly sitting on the bed.

He also picked up the booklet by the bed with one hand and flipped through it.

"Jingwang is coming. Pack up your things and get out of here," he commanded.

Wei Kai took two steps forward, keeping in mind that he couldn\'t manage anything else: "But General, why are you..."

"Because I want to take someone away with me."

He heard his general say this.
