The letter sent by Zong Yanli really worked. Du Zhe apologized for keeping Pei Liang many times, and then repeatedly expressed his unintentional actions. He said that after his youngest son was born and the heir to Wuhuan was decided, he would come to help Daqian immediately and personally escort Mr. Pei back.

At the same time, Zong Yanli received a letter from Cai Kangyu, saying that all the siege crossbows and chariots in Daqian had been transported in batches. Due to their large size, in order to avoid chaos, they were transported by two routes: waterway and official road.

On the official road, Prince Ping He Anxing arranged people to escort along the way, and on the water, Cai Kangyu planned to transport it personally, and asked Zong Yanli to wait for good news.

I thought everything was going smoothly as Zong Yanli had planned, and Lu State had not gained any benefits, so the fighting was not a big problem. But I never expected...

"Queen Sayya is dead!?" A shocking piece of news came, completely breaking the peaceful situation.

"Yes!" Sang Caijie said with a gloomy face: "Wuhuan pointed out that Queen Sai Ya was killed by General Bai..."

"Bullshit!" Before Zong Yanli could say anything, Meng Qi stood up and said, "How could General Bai kill another country's queen at will?!"

"It's absolutely true..." Sang Caijie said with an ugly expression on his face, "It was the queen's personal maid who pointed it out. Not only that, the baby in Queen Saiya's belly was also taken out by cesarean section. The maid said that the general didn't want Wuhuan to have an heir."

"So he ordered his soldiers to kill without mercy and wanted to destroy the Wuhuan."

“And…” Sang Caijie was a little confused, he looked up at Zong Yanli and said, “Some people in Wuhuan also said that the general had a crush on Queen Sai Ya, and was angry because he couldn’t take her away. He was also jealous of Queen Sai Ya’s feelings for General Du Zhe, so he killed her.”

Not to mention Monkie, even Long Feiguang and Zhan Haoyue were so angry that they laughed. How did such a ridiculous rumor come about?

If Zong Yanli wanted to destroy the Wuhuan, why would he go through so much trouble? What about assassinating the queen?

Du Zhe cried bitterly, unwilling to believe that this action was instructed by Zong Yanli. He thought that Zong Yanli was as close as a brother to him and that they were sworn brothers, so he was determined that Pei Liang had "betrayed" Zong Yanli, and in a rage he detained Pei Liang, Bai Xiuyun and others.

"He's clearly trying to turn the tables!" Monk was so angry that he jumped up and down, with veins throbbing on his temples. He never expected that Du Zhe, who looked so straightforward and innocent, would actually put on such a show for them.

"It seems that Wuhuan's move was not rash, but was planned in advance." Zhou Cang said quietly.

"Min Xueer's death was probably not the beginning. Perhaps Wuhuan had already been planning at that time." Zhan Haoyue took over the conversation and said with a little doubt: "But what makes me feel strange is who set up this trap? Du Zhe doesn't seem to have the brains to do this."

"..."

There was a brief silence in the tent. Meng Qi turned to Zong Yanli with a slightly anxious look and said, "General, the most urgent task is to rescue Mr. Pei and General Bai as soon as possible!"

Zong Yanli's eyes were gloomy as he considered the next strategy. Should he go to Wuhuan instead?

Who would have thought that before they could figure out any countermeasures, they saw Gao Feilin who had returned from Daqian. The disheveled Gao Feilin brought back a piece of news for Zong Yanli that the siege crossbows and chariots on the land transport official road had been burned.

"Prince Ping was suddenly assassinated." Gao Feilin looked at Zong Yanli anxiously and said, "The transport route was exposed, and the ambush was planned long ago!"

"Whose troops are these?" Zong Yanli's face suddenly darkened. All this happened too coincidentally.

Gao Feilin sat upright on the bed. The military doctor was bandaging Gao Feilin's wounds. He said to Zong Yanli, "General, do you still remember the battle against Min Wenshan in the past? One of his two generals, Lang Weiye, was killed by you."

"The other one is Quan Liangpeng, and he escaped." Gao Feilin endured the pain from his injuries and said with a bit of rapid breathing: "The leader of the ambush troops is Quan Liangpeng!"

It was this time that Zong Yanli happened to ask Gao Feilin to personally deliver the letter back to Daqian, and then Gao Feilin personally escorted the chariot back.

Otherwise, if it was someone else, how would he be able to recognize Quan Liangpeng?

Zong Yanli was shocked. She thought that the matter was over with the death of Min Wenshan. Even the State of Qi was destroyed. Zong Yanli had long forgotten about Quan Liangpeng. Who could have thought that he would suddenly appear at this moment.

All of this seemed very coincidental and strange. The siege chariots that were being transported were either burned or looted by Quan Liangpeng. Now she could only place her hope on the chariots that Cai Kangyu would transport by water.

Gao Feilin was able to save his life thanks to the skills he learned from following Zong Yanli for many years. The situation was dangerous at that time and the entire transport team was wiped out. He wanted to ask Prince Ping for help, but later found out that Prince Ping had been assassinated the day before.

"So, there is indeed a spy in Daqian." Zong Yanli's eyes were deep. Ever since Prince Ping took charge of the salt transportation and iron ore affairs, his network of contacts has become quite good. Moreover, Prince Ping only lent manpower to Zong Yanli to clear the way for the chariots this time.

He was not transported personally, but was assassinated. Is this a warning?

Zong Yanli had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this moment. With a stern face, he asked Gao Feilin to rest for a while, then turned around and asked someone to call Fu Jiashi, asking him to go to the water transport terminal immediately to meet Cai Kangyu and make sure that the siege vehicle was transported safely.

Fu Jia Shi had just left the camp when Zong Yanli received news that the Wuhuan were leading their troops and were determined to ask Zong Yanli for an explanation.

On the other side, Quan Liangpeng burned most of the chariots, looted some of them and directly took the generous gift to join the camp of Beiens, who valued him. The Lu army pressed out of Xitong Pass to confront Zong Yanli, and the Wuhuan troops from the rear arrived and completely blocked Zong Yanli's retreat.

"This chain of events is really brilliant..." Zong Yanli laughed as he watched the scout presenting the intelligence.

Saying that they came here to seek an explanation is clearly an excuse to mobilize troops.

On one side was the State of Lu, which had seized the chariot and obtained the help of Quan Liangpeng; on the other side was the State of Wuhuan, which had held Pei Liang and Bai Xiujun hostage.

Both sides are difficult to deal with. Zong Yanli, who had been conquering countries smoothly, was rarely in a passive position. Although Wuhuan was not to be feared, Pei Liang and Bai Xiuyun were in Du Zhe's hands, so Zong Yanli had to be cautious. There was no need to worry about the State of Lu, but he had to wait for Fu Jiashi to pick up Cai Kangyu and bring back the chariot.

Otherwise, wouldn't a head-on confrontation be exactly what the Wuhuan wanted?

In late August, the Wuhuan army arrived. Zong Yanli looked at the Wuhuan army that had destroyed Qi and strengthened itself. They were well-equipped with supplies and horses. It did not look like such an elite army had come to seek justice in a hurry. They were clearly troops that had rested and gathered their strength.

"Brother, why do you treat me like this!" In front of the two armies, Du Zhe looked distraught and questioned Zong Yanli.

"Since you call me brother, why did you detain my generals?" Zong Yanli ignored Duzhe's expression and said with a cold and angry face: "I believe that I have been kind to you since we formed an alliance with Wuhuan. Duzhe, have you forgotten the blood alliance we made during the battle of Qi State? The oath we made to share life and death together?"

"Why are you confronting me with weapons today?!" Zong Yanli's words were cold and solemn, with hidden anger in them.

"If you hadn't harmed my queen and killed my beloved son, how could I have done this!!!" Du Zhe looked like a madman, raising his hands in anger, and Pei Liang and Bai Xiuyun were pulled out of the prison cart behind him, both of them were tied up with ropes.

Du Zhe pointed his sword at the two men and said, "I don't believe that my brother would do this to me, but these two are my brother's personal soldiers. I saw with my own eyes that they killed my queen with blades in hand!"

Duzhe's face was filled with grief, as if he was extremely angry. He turned to Zong Yanli and said, "If you can shoot these two people in front of the soldiers of both armies to avenge my queen, I, Duzhe, swear that Wuhuan and Daqian will remain in alliance!"

"You and I are brothers!" Du Zhe said this while staring at Zong Yanli.

"We both know why Queen Saiya died." Zong Yanli was not moved at all. He looked at Duzhe with sarcasm and said, "I guess Wuhuan is looking for Min Xueer now? Duzhe, why don't you guess where Min Xueer is?"

Du Zhe, who had been full of anger just now, had a slightly strange expression. He glanced to the side and quickly turned his eyes back.

Zong Yanli noticed Duzhe's action with his sharp eyes, and immediately looked behind Duzhe. Only then did he see an old man in a gray robe standing behind Duzhe, with only half of his face visible due to the obstruction of others.

Perhaps he noticed Zong Yanli's prying, he took a step back, and the half of his face that flashed by was quickly hidden. But it was enough for Zong Yanli to catch a glimpse of it, because this face was really familiar. In the past, when they were fighting against the State of Lu, this person was a counselor under the command of Bennes.

Baines once sent this man as an envoy to the Northern Kingdom, and it was through his hands that he eventually facilitated the formation of a three-nation coalition between Lu, the Northern Kingdom, and Qi.

Originally, Zong Yanli didn't understand who was behind this situation among the Wuhuan, but now that he has met Yue Yuqi, he understands everything!

"I can give you some time!" Du Zhe was probably confused by Zong Yanli's mention of Min Xueer. He hurriedly left no time for Zong Yanli to think and took Pei Liang and Bai Xiuyun back.

"How foolish." Zong Yanli returned to the army and told everyone about Duzhe and Yue Yuqi's activities. He said with a cold expression on his face: "I thought Lu had never made any small moves. It turns out that it had already linked up with Wuhuan."

"General mentioned Min Xueer today. Is he trying to trick Du Zhe into knowing about it?" Zhan Haoyue asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Zong Yanli narrowed her eyes and nodded. She had thought that perhaps Du Zhe was being used by the State of Lu and was being plotted against by Yue Yuqi.

She participated and witnessed with her own eyes how Duzhe's affection for Saiya remained so unwavering over the years.

Zong Yanli couldn't describe what that feeling was. He only thought that the two of them were most suitable to be described as having a friendship stronger than gold. Wuhuan had achieved what it is today because, while Zong Yanli was helping them, he also remembered the brave Sai Ya and how she came to him.

pity.

such a pity……

Zong Yanli stared at the candlelight in front of her, vaguely remembering Sai Ya telling her firmly that Du Zhe would be used by her, as if he was willing to live and die for her.

However, looking at Duzhe's expression today, Zong Yanli did not seem ignorant at all.

So what did Saya go through before she died?

"I want to take a woman from the death row, pull out her tongue, cut her tendons, pretend to be Min Xueer, and use her to exchange for Pei Liang and Bai Xiuyun." Zong Yanli quickly gathered his thoughts, raised his eyes and looked at everyone and said, "It's a pity that Min Xueer is dead, and there is no evidence."

"The death of Queen Saiya cannot be cleared. If Du Zhe knew that Min Xue'er was still alive, he would definitely want her. Otherwise, how can he, a son-in-law, lead Wuhuan when the truth comes out?"

"It would be best if we can get it back at this opportunity." Zong Yanli calmed down and continued, "Bai Xiujun and the others are now controlled by others. It will be very difficult for them to escape on their own. Where is Bu Gaoxuan who was detained from Qi State?"

"He has been kept in a prisoner-of-war camp and has been unyielding. After the fall of Qi, he did make a fuss, but at that time there were many things going on in the army, so I ignored him." Long Feiguang said.

Bu Gaoxuan was the sharpshooter who assassinated Lu Peibai. He was locked up after being captured.

Zong Yan suddenly thought that in addition to his extraordinary shooting skills, this person was also very good at hiding and concealing. This was a good opportunity.

Zong Yanli raised his eyes and said to Long Feiguang: "Go and bring the man out. Tell him to give him a chance to redeem himself. Now that Qi has been destroyed and Beiguo has also perished in my hands, let him think carefully about whether he wants to continue to be a prisoner who may be pushed out to die at any time, or whether he wants to be used by me and restore the name of the Bu family."

"Yes." Long Feiguang was shocked and quickly leaned forward to agree.

"Everyone go down." Zong Yanli waved to everyone, then stood up and prepared to go see how Gao Feilin's injuries were recovering.

In the Wuhuan army, Du Zhe was indeed arguing with Yue Yuqi: "Didn't they say Min Xue'er was dead?"

Yue Yuqi stood by with his head down, not sure whether Min Xueer was dead or not. In the end, he could only comfort Du Zhe, saying, "General, don't panic. We still have hostages. Even if Min Xueer is not dead, Zong Yanli will not act rashly."

"General, we have two hostages. Why don't we try to exchange one for one?" Yue Yuqi narrowed his eyes and said, "If it's really Min Xueer, it's still a good deal. If it's fake..."

"If we take away one of them, we still have one hostage left, and we also know that Zong Yanli is just bluffing, so the next battle will be easy.

As Yue Yuqi finished speaking, the expression on Duzhe's face gradually calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a good idea. He immediately nodded in agreement and asked Yue Yuqi to do so.

Yue Yuqi praised the general for his ability, but there was a contemptuous smile in his eyes as if he was controlling the overall situation. He lowered his head and said nothing more.

It was easy to find death row inmates, but it was more difficult to find women, so it took a lot of time to find one.

But when this person came, it was difficult to pretend to be Min Xueer. Although Min Xueer had destroyed her face at the beginning, her stunning beauty was still hard to conceal. Lu Peibai volunteered to paint her skin. She had superb painting skills and used her face as a canvas to paint the beauty of a goddess.

We have to try to see whether this approach will work.
