"Empress Dowager's mouth is very tight. She never revealed a single word to us."
Without waiting for him to finish saying the last part of "Unexpectedly", Yuwen He interrupted him.
His tone was still calm, and he still looked as casual as ever.
The general was stunned. "Then what are you doing?"
"There is no airless wall in this world." Yuwen He smiled slightly.
Although the late emperor's matters were confidential, there was still a chance for him to investigate it. From the death of the Princess Duanyun's family, to the death of Elder Sister Xiao's brother and sister-in-law, the Feng and Ye Families were closely related to this matter. Everything that happened was not just a coincidence.
At first, no one had thought about it. However, countless indications pointed to the time when the late emperor was secretly refining pills. Furthermore, with the appearance of his father-in-law, the matter became even clearer.
Xiao Hanwen was one of the people who knew about this matter.
This was the secret he had spent so many years protecting.
Before leaving the capital, he had chatted with the Wenshansu for a few hours.
With a thought, Yuwen He swept his gaze across the map on the table and quickly shifted his gaze away. Looking at his brother, he said, "On the other hand, you actually told me about this, I thought you would be able to hide this matter for dozens of years and bring it into the coffin."
The general was at a loss for words.
After a long while, he finally found his voice, "Empress Dowager has already told me before, I can't tell anyone else."
Yuwen He made an "oh" sound, glanced towards the outside of the tent, and seemingly muttered to himself. At that time, I took such a big advantage from his, and he was unhappy for a long time. She often talked about how if you sat in this position, the situation would be different. "
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Yuwen Xiao's face again, "Aren't you always thinking about this spot? If you really want it, just say it. I don't care so much about the throne. "
Ye Xiao was embarrassed, so he didn't want to answer.
Yuwen He stood up and walked over, passing by him and lightly patting him on the shoulder. "Don't do anything foolish, finish this battle properly, Da Xia Empire has always been surnamed Yuwen."
With that, he walked past him and out of the tent.
Yuwen Xiao was startled for a moment, and then rushed out of the tent, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Royal brother has worked hard on this journey, please rest well."
Yuwen He waved and walked into his own tent without looking back.
A certain general walked back to the tent dejectedly and sat down, looking at the map on the table with a complicated expression.
It was unknown when Yang Junda came in, but after standing in front of him for a while, the Great General did not react. He coughed and Yuwen Xiao's whole body bounced back as he patted his chest in shock, "Why is there no sound when a man like you walks!"
Vice General Yang had an innocent expression, it's not that I can't walk, it's that I've been standing here for a long time and you still didn't notice.
He sighed and said, "General, Your Majesty should already know what you're doing. There's no wall without wind in this world, and paper cannot contain fire. You should stop as soon as possible, otherwise …"
"Why do you all like this phrase?" Thinking about what Yuwen He had just said, the general's heart jumped in response.
Ever since Yuwen He became the emperor, he loved to lecture.
In the past, he didn't look like this. He was free and unfettered. Remembering back then, he was also a free man who had made a great wish to roam the martial arts world.
If he had ascended to the throne at that time, the situation today might have been different.
Vice General Yang looked at his general's increasingly serious expression, and his heart leaped into his throat.
"Vice General Yang, tell me, if this general were to become the emperor one day, wouldn't he become an unconscious monarch?"
Who knew that the general would suddenly blurt out this sentence out of nowhere? Hearing this, Vice General Yang stiffened, and his expression turned unnatural, "Great, Great General, what do you mean by this?"
"What, are you afraid that this general will take the opportunity to assassinate you and replace you?" Yuwen Xiao glanced at him disapprovingly.
Vice General Yang silently swallowed his saliva. All the signs that you've been planning to do this all along indicate that you have some sort of intention, but it has never been so blatant.
There was a master who was full of ambition, and he was always on tenterhooks.
If there really comes a day like this, should I show my loyalty, or should I stand up for orthodoxy?
"General!"
Without waiting for Vice General Yang to finish speaking, Yuwen Xiao began to talk to himself again, "Yang Junda, he knows that I'm being condoned by him even though he knows what I want to do, does this mean that he wants to become the next fainting monarch?"
Yuwen Xiao was trapped in a strange loop, from Vice General Yang's perspective, even if he was in a daze, he did not dare to speak up, and waited quietly with bated breath.
The tent was eerily quiet.
"Forget it," Yuwen Xiao unintentionally sighed. "What he said was right, Da Xia's Jiang Shan is always surnamed Yuwen. "You can leave now. This general wants you to be alone."
When he walked out of the tent, Vice General Yang was still at a loss.
He looked at the darkening sky and heaved a long sigh, then slowly walked towards Yuwen He's tent.
Xiao Ruyue was extremely tired from working hard all the way. She changed into a new set of clothes and washed her feet before falling asleep.
When Yuwen He came back, she was already very asleep and was even snoring softly. Yuwen He was sitting in front of the bed, listening to her breathing, his large palm stroking his tender cheeks. Just as he was about to kiss his pink lips, Chong Yang's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Vice General Yang requests an audience."
A wave of stuffiness washed over him.
When can't you come?
He took a deep breath, tucked Xiao Ruyue in, and then walked out of the tent. He called out to her, and Yin Lin came over from next door.
"Your Majesty." Yang Junda bowed respectfully to Yuwen He.
Yuwen He acknowledged, and indicated for him to walk further, "The Empress is resting, so don't disturb her."
Yang Junda was startled, and immediately followed after his footsteps.
It was a good place for people to talk. Yuwen He stopped in his tracks and respectfully bowed, "Your Majesty, this lowly general has a presumptuous request."
"Please, where should I start?"
"Your Majesty, perhaps there are many rumors about the great general in the outside world. However, this great general has been by his side for many years and knows his character the best. No matter what the great general does, he will always think for the sake of Grand Xia!"
"You don't have to speak up for him. I know better than you what kind of person he is. "It was you who suddenly said these words to me that raised my suspicions."
Yuwen He sized him up, a hint of coldness flashing through his black eyes, as if he was looking straight into the hearts of others.
"Yuwen Xiao has never had any friends, and there is no one by his side who speaks. Since you are his deputy general, his closest friend, and his trusted confidant, you should be clear about his matters. If you come to me so impatiently, isn't that the same as telling me all of his intentions? Are you really doing this for his good, or are you just pretending to do it for his good? "
Yang Junda only felt a chill penetrating his heart, and he froze on the spot, unable to say a single word.
In the middle tent, Yuwen Xiao was staring at the table map blankly for a long time. Then, a middle-aged man dressed as a soldier walked in.
"General, Vice General Yang has gone to see His Majesty after leaving the tent."
Yuwen Xiao paused for a moment, and with a seemingly casual grunt, he said, "I got it, you can go now."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and quietly retreated.
The tent once again returned to a dead silence.
Yuwen Xiao's gaze landed on the map on the table once again, he took a deep look, and with a wave of his hand, he kept the sheepskin map.
Yang Junda?
What a loyal Vice General Yang.
In a remote location in the camp, Yang Junda looked at Yuwen He in a daze and quickly knelt down.
"Then you want to exterminate your relatives and climb up on your master." Yuwen He looked at him with a smile that was not really a smile.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This general does not intend to do that!"
"Oh, then tell me what you want to say."
As the sun was setting, the night wind blew with the desolation of autumn and sent chills down Yang Junda's spine. Just like this, he also broke out in a cold sweat.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then said hesitantly, "This lowly general wants to say that it's better for the great general to arrange for a marriage as soon as possible."
Yuwen He was startled at first, but then raised his eyebrows with interest, "What do you mean by that?"
"A few days ago some soldiers in the camp said that they had been away for too long and had missed their wife. This lowly general thinks that the Great General thinks too much and is still missing a wife, "Yang Junda said fearfully, observing Yuwen He's expression as he spoke.
Yuwen He raised his eyebrows in disbelief, wanting to laugh or not, "You specially came to find us for this matter?"
Yang Junda took a deep breath, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I thought that the Great General was very loyal to you and Da Xia but you're the only one who has a beautiful wife, and he's still alone. The Great General's heart is very unbalanced because of this."
"Alright, I understand what you mean." "Let's go back. I promise that I will never tell the great general about today's conversation."
Yang Junda was very careful when he spoke, but Yuwen He laughed.
This Yang Junda was actually quite a funny and humorous person.
Yang Junda perspired a bit, then respectfully replied and left.
After walking for a while, he turned around. Yuwen He stood under the sunset with his hands behind his back.
Although the light was dim, he could vaguely see the amusement and amusement in the eyes of the Emperor.
Some things he could not say.
However, since the great general had such an elder brother, it wouldn't be too late for him to pull back his horse.
Yuwen He and he looked at each other from afar and nodded slightly. Yang Junda jumped in shock and quickened his pace, as if he was escaping for his life.
"Brat, you haven't been proper all day. The people under your command are not bad." Yuwen He looked in the direction of the tent, mumbling to himself, before he turned back.
It was time for him to get married.
