When Sheng Yong returned to the Imperial Court's Lian Camp, night had already fallen.
However, in the main tent, Xu Zuhui and Geng Bingwen were still waiting for Sheng Yong's news.
"Marshal Xu, this general…this general has let you down!”
Sheng Yong walked into the tent and knelt down in front of Xu Zuhui.
This scene made all the generals speechless.
"Even if General Sheng's mission was in vain, would it have gone to this extent? Get up!"
Xu Zuhui stepped forward and reached out to support Sheng Yong.
Sheng Yong was unwilling to get up. He said with a trembling voice," Yun…Yun niece is being detained by Zhu Xianfeng at Big Stone Pass!"”
"What is it? Wasn't Yun 'Er in Ying Tian? Why was she in the army? And why did he go to the Great Stone Pass with you?”
Xu Zuhui was dumbfounded. At the same time, an uneasy thought suddenly rose in his heart.
" I don't know," Sheng Yong replied bitterly." My niece Yun pretended to be a guard and mixed in with my entourage. She only revealed her true appearance when she arrived at the Big Stone Pass Commandery."”
As soon as he said this, the generals in the tent were in an uproar.
"What should we do?"
"Zhu Xianfeng will definitely use this to threaten Marshal Xu!”
"He was once engaged to Niece Yun, so he shouldn't be so crazy!”
"It's hard to say. This child even dares to rebel against the Imperial Court. What else can he do?”
As the generals discussed.
One of the young generals was already trembling.
He was none other than Xu Zuhui's son, Xu Yun's elder brother, Xu Qin.
As the instigator of this change.
The current Xu Qin could be said to be unable to stand still.
He never expected that his doting sister would really cause trouble.
If Zhu Xianfeng really used his sister to threaten his father, he would probably be the sinner of the Duke of Wei's estate.
Once his father compromised and withdrew his troops, the imperial court would naturally not let the Duke of Wei Manor off.
But if her father didn't compromise, would that crazy Zhu Xianfeng kill her sister?
The more Xu Qin thought about it, the more afraid he became. Suddenly, he strode forward and knelt beside Sheng Yong, sobbing."Father…Commander Father, I am guilty!”
"Hmm?"
Xu Zuhui's heart clenched and he immediately understood everything. He then shouted,"What crime have you committed? You better f * cking tell me the truth, or I'll chop you up!”
As he spoke, Xu Zuhui actually pulled out his saber and pointed it at Xu Qin.
"I…I shouldn't have brought my little sister to the army…I shouldn't have let my little sister follow General Sheng on an envoy…"
At this point, how could Xu Qin still dare to hide anything? Trembling with fear, he recounted the entire sequence of events.
"I'll kill you, you prodigal!”
Hearing this, Xu Zuhui, who was burning with anger, suddenly raised his saber and was about to slash at Xu Qin.
"Marshal, you can't!"
Seeing this, Sheng Yong rushed towards Xu Zuhui!
The other generals reacted and pounced forward as well.
"Get out of the way, don't stop me!”
Xu Zuhui struggled with all his might.
However, none of the generals dared to let him go. In this rage, Marshal Xu might really do something like beheading his son in front of the battle.
Xu Qin was so scared that his face turned pale, and his entire body shivered.
"Marshal Xu, please calm down. The important thing now is how to break through the Great Stone Pass!”
Geng Bingwen, the vice marshal, finally spoke.
He was already very old, and although he was the vice commander, his experience and prestige in the army had always been respected.
Hence, Xu Zuhui gradually calmed down as soon as he spoke.
"Old Marshal Geng's words are reasonable. Generals, please move aside!”
Xu Zuhui calmed the anger in his heart and looked at Xu Qin."Answer the heavens. After I finish dealing with the traitor Zhu Xianfeng, I'll come and settle the score with you!”
"Father…Commander Father, little sister…"
"Stop talking. You, go back and pack your things immediately.”
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing this, Xu Qin didn't dare to stay any longer and walked out of the tent in a daze.
"General Sheng, how is the morale of the Qingzhou Army inside the Great Stone Pass?" Xu Zuhui asked. Are there enough provisions?"
"Marshal, the morale of the Qingzhou Army is extremely high, and their rations are abundant. However…the soldiers guarding the Great Stone Pass were quite dissatisfied with Zhu Xianfeng!”
"Is that true?"
Xu Zuhui's eyes lit up.
"It's absolutely true. When I was patrolling the Great Stone Pass, I happened to meet the general of the Great Stone Pass who was severely punished with sixty strokes of the stick for contradicting Zhu Xianfeng. This person's name is Zhang Ran.”
"There's such a thing? How confident do you think General Sheng is if he can persuade this person to defect?”
"At least eighty percent. When I returned, I had already prepared for this matter.”
Xu Zuhui was overjoyed." Good. If we break through the Great Stone Pass, you will be the first to receive credit."”
"Marshal, isn't this matter going too smoothly?”
A general pondered for a moment before standing up and saying.
"General Zhao, are you suspecting that Zhu Xianfeng is putting on a show for us?”
"I don't dare to say for sure, but we have to be wary of the cunning of the military!”
"General Zhao, you're wrong!"
"Zhu Xianfeng isn't a god," Sheng Yong retorted immediately."How could he have predicted that I would go to the Great Stone Pass?”
"This…"
General Zhao was speechless.
"Old Marshal Geng, what do you think of this matter?" Xu Zuhui asked Geng Bingwen.”
