After Mi Ya left, Yu Heng stayed in the house, thinking about all kinds of possible situations. Unfortunately, he was not from this era, and there was no place for Mi Ya in the Beauty Portrait.
He was a little tired from the journey and unknowingly fell asleep. Suddenly, the door was kicked open. "Bang!"
"It's him. Capture him and bring him to see Lord Xiang.”The leader shouted.
"Are you Xiang Rong's men? Why did you capture me?" Yu Heng was secretly shocked. This rumor left too quickly. How long had he entered the pass? He was actually captured immediately. He was really unlucky.
"Hehe, you Yu Heng Wu thieves, you guys are too bold. You guys simply don't put our Chu Country in your eyes and even dare to walk into a trap?”After the leader finished speaking, he did not wait for Yu Heng to speak. With a wave of his hand, two soldiers carried Yu Heng out.
In the Wu army camp, Xi Shi hadn't seen Yu Heng come to the King's tent for a few days. She was nervous and had an ominous feeling.
"Your Majesty, the military situation has been unpredictable recently. Why haven't I seen Lord Yu come to report the military situation?”Xi Shi asked tentatively.
"Uh, hehe, beloved consort, Yuqing went to survey the terrain of Jingmen Pass and should be back in a few days.”
Wu Wang's words confirmed his worries. Going to Jingmen Pass to investigate? It might be a smokescreen, and it was unknown what kind of conspiracy there was. With Yu Heng's plan, this trip would not be so simple.
"Uh, Lord Yu is truly a loyal subject. He is always thinking of sharing the king's worries.”Xi Shi's voice was like a soul-snatching needle that pounced on the King of Wu's ears, stirring his soul.
"Beloved concubine, with you, this life is enough.”After saying that, Wu Wang placed Beauty Xi Shi in his arms and immersed himself in the river of love.
Xi Shi was absent-minded. She was thinking about Yu Heng. In Wu, the only person she cared about so much was Yu Heng. This mysterious man had an uncontrollable ambition. He was not the same kind of man as Fu Chai, who was content in the nest of beauties. He could always make her imagination run wild. She wanted to catch him, but she could not. Sometimes, she felt that he was far away, but sometimes, she felt that he was right beside her. Perhaps they were not on the same side, but it gave her a sense of security. Although they could not conspire for big things, she always felt that his burning gaze was always concerned about her.
Xi Shi's woman's heart was complicated. She deeply felt that she was sinking deeper and deeper into Yu Heng, but she would not regret it until she was destroyed.
As expected, Xi Shi secretly asked her trusted subordinates to investigate. Soon, they found many suspicious points. Yu Heng left the camp with only one maid. Secondly, Wu Zixu's daily behavior was too cautious and strange. Third, Yu Heng had already left the camp for half a month. This time was already extraordinary. However, the other party had done a very good job of confidentiality. Even if it was an internal investigation, there was no way to investigate. He could only follow his own guess, which was useless.
Half a month was too long. Anything could happen. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to personally find his old rival, Wu Zixu. Only he knew where Yu Heng went.
Seeing that the army was about to arrive at Jingmen Pass, Wu Zixu was busy dealing with military affairs and also sending more people to contact Yuheng.
"Lord Wu, overworking is not good for your health. Take care of your health. You should also take over Lord Yu's official duties.”Xi Shi was hinting at something, so she walked into the commander's tent without informing anyone.
"What is the matter, Imperial Concubine, that you have come to the main tent?”Wu Zixu had seen Xi Shi, so he didn't have a good face. The two of them had always been at odds.
"The king asked me to pass a message to General Yu. You're not the commander, so what are you doing here?”Xi Shi turned the tables on the other party and brought out the King of Wu at the same time.
Wu Zixu naturally knew that Xi Shi was not a kind person.
"Lord Yu is out on official business, so I will temporarily act as the commander. If there's anything, just tell me.”Wu Zixu's face was still cold.
"Haha, if something happens to Lord Yu, I think you can't bear the responsibility, right? Why do you have to hide it from me?”Xi Shi Hongyan was furious and berated the other party. This was something that she had never shown in front of the King of Wu.
Wu Zixu was shocked. This woman was indeed very secretive.
"Please speak your mind, Your Highness. This old minister truly cannot understand the deep meaning in Your Highness 'words.”
"Alright, then I'll tell you directly. If you don't tell me Lord Yu's whereabouts today, I'll immediately expose the fact that you've joined forces to deceive the king.”
Xi Shi's words forced Wu Zixu into a corner. It was obvious that she had given him the illusion that she knew something.
Wu Zixu knew that the woman in front of him had a good relationship with Yuheng and would not harm him.
"He went to take Jingmen Pass for himself. I couldn't stop him, so I could only promise to help him cover it up.”
"Wu Zixu, how dare you let the general take such a big risk? Don't you think it's too risky?”When Xi Shi heard this, her mind was like a bolt from the blue. Yu Heng was in danger, and her heart was filled with grief.
"I know my sins, but I can't contact Lord Yu now. It's too late to regret.”Wu Zixu was dejected, and his regret was obvious, but it was useless.
"The only thing you can do now is to find Lord Yu as soon as possible and atone for your sins.”Xi Shi was furious and anxious.
"This old official will do his best to find Lord Yu. Please rest assured.”
"Also, from now on, report any news or progress regarding Lord Yu to me at any time. There must be no mistakes. I want to understand the relevant situation as soon as possible, understand?”Xi Shi said sternly, her imposing manner astonishing. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that the battle-hardened Lord Wu would be so passive and embarrassed in front of a woman?
Compared to the tension in the core of the Wu Army, Yu Heng was not as dangerous as they thought in the prison of the Jingmen Pass guards.
Xiang Rong had an upright personality. He was a man who did things openly and decisively.
Yu Heng gradually learned from his conversation with Xiang Rong that the reason why he was sent to the garrison prison so quickly was because of Mi Ya's old friend. The other party had originally come to Xiang Rong to lobby for Yu Heng, but he did not expect to anger the loyal Xiang Rong as soon as he said his true intention. In a fit of anger, he threw Mi Ya's old friend into prison and then sent someone to kidnap him. However, Mi Ya was spared because she was not present.
"Lord Yu's words have spread far and wide, and this one admires him. However, if you want to lay your hands on my Jingmen Pass, then don't blame me for being impolite.”Xiang Rong was straightforward and showed his attitude.
"Hehe, you flatter me, I'll tell you about your future now. Perhaps you'll only be truly famous after a few hundred years.”Yu Heng sorted out his thoughts these few days.
"Eh? Where do I start?" Xiang Rong clearly showed interest.
