Chapter 383 The Emperor's Appearance
"He wants me to lead troops to help him!"
Lu Hanting looked at Chen Furong with a deep gaze.
Although Chen Furong sometimes doesn't think things through and always stands by Wei'er's side without any opinions of her own.
However, she is still clear-headed when it comes to truly important matters of principle.
What's more, they are fellow disciples from the same school, so he had nothing to hide from his senior brother's request for help.
Has the Northern Frontier Kingdom already entered this predicament?
The eldest brother rarely asks for help; if he does, it must be because he has truly encountered a desperate situation.
"Third Senior Brother, will you go and help Eldest Senior Brother?"
Chen Furong hopes Lu Hanting will go.
But this isn't something she can decide.
After all, they were leading the troops of the Great Wei and eating the food bestowed upon them by the emperor.
"I need to think about this!"
Lu Hanting had previously harbored some resentment towards his senior brother because of Wu Weiwei's betrayal, but he had let go of his grudges after the truth was revealed.
Moreover, he later learned that Wu Heran was a bloodline lost in the Northern Frontier, so he could understand his senior brother's thoughts.
He probably helped Wei'er leave the manor because of An Wuhe's feelings.
But now he is leading the troops of the Great Wei, without the emperor's order. If he goes to help his senior brother without authorization, and the emperor blames them, they will all be unable to bear the consequences.
Seeing Lu Hanting's predicament, Chen Furong immediately fell silent.
Lin Li, who was listening nearby, had an idea in mind.
The landlord's younger brother is in danger and is now seeking help from Envoy Lu.
However, since this matter concerned relations between the two countries, Commander Lu dared not openly lead troops to assist them, otherwise it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Mr. Xiao is probably in danger. Thinking of this, Lin Li's eyes flashed.
……
"My lord, I heard that the prince's army is returning to the capital soon. I wonder if Miss Chen and Vice General Lin will be punished?"
Thinking of Chen Furong, Wu Weiwei whispered, "She'll be fine."
"Oh, but I heard that Miss Chen and her group suffered a defeat. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's timely assistance, the Nanzhao army would probably have entered our borders..."
"It's not that easy. Even without the crown prince, someone will still stop it!"
She had received word that the Duke of Qin had pleaded on behalf of Prince Duan.
The Emperor has issued an imperial edict ordering Prince Duan to come to the capital to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. It just so happens that envoys from other countries have come to visit the Great Wei. The Emperor probably has other plans for Prince Duan!
This is enough to show that the Duke of Qin has probably already colluded with the King of Duan.
The Crown Prince has now been ordered by the Emperor to stay home and reflect on his actions, so the task of receiving the envoys has been entrusted to Prince Min.
Prince Min has been enjoying a peaceful and pleasant time these past few days, and Qin Baihe has also returned to work to attend banquets hosted by the wives of high-ranking officials.
The drama surrounding the Great Wei is getting more and more interesting.
When Wu Weiwei woke up from her afternoon nap, she heard that Xiao Shitou was already waiting outside.
"Master, I just received a message from Manager Lin. The situation with the young master in the Northern Frontier is probably not optimistic..."
Wu Weiwei raised her eyes, her face cold and stern.
How did Lin Li find out?
After Xiao Shitou explained, Wu Weiwei realized that it was Xiao Qingyu who had sent Lu Hanting a letter asking for help.
Has Lu Hanting replied yet?
Little Stone shook his head.
"Manager Lin said that Commander Lu is still hesitant, but it seems highly likely that he will not send troops..."
After all, the emperor's thoughts are unpredictable, and now that Commander Lu has just made a great contribution, I'm afraid he won't risk going to help him.
Seeing this, Wu Weiwei pondered for a moment.
She had long heard that the regent of the northern frontier was a troublesome figure, and if her father hadn't saved He Ran, she probably would have already fallen victim to his cruelty.
Now that Song Quan holds great power in the northern frontier, his status is no different from that of an emperor. How could he be willing to relinquish his power?
It is conceivable that he would not easily forgive his brother who had seized power and Mr. Xiao.
Thinking of the perilous situation, Wu Weiwei looked at Wanqiu beside her.
"How much longer until Protector Qin arrives in the capital?"
Just as Wanqiu was about to answer, she heard Lingfu outside the courtyard say happily, "Miss, Sister Qin is back..."
Qin Yan walked in with a smile on her face.
"Master, I have some good news for you!"
Wu Weiwei looked up.
"Upon returning, Protector Bo and I led our men to subdue Xu Chengshao. Now, the Green Gang has been merged into our Bright Moon Gang..."
Hearing Qin Yanmei's words, Wu Weiwei was shocked.
In other words, apart from the Black Hawk Gang, they are the strongest in Chulong Prefecture.
The Bright Moon Gang originally had 50,000 members, and with the addition of the Green Gang, they now have the strength to contend with the Black Hawk Gang.
Seeing Wu Weiwei's expression, Qin Yanmei said happily, "Aren't you surprised?"
Wu Weiwei nodded with a smile.
"Yanmei, you did a great job this time!"
She was short-handed, and Qin Yanmei gave her a surprise.
"Sister Qin, you're amazing!"
Lingfu praised sincerely.
If that's the case, then the girl's personal safety would be greatly guaranteed.
Seeing the joy on Lingfu and the other woman's faces, Wu Weiwei could understand their worries.
She looked at Qin Yanmei.
"Yanmei, I might need some manpower. Do you know how many people you can spare?"
Wu Weiwei told Qin Yanmei about the situation in the northern border region, and then Qin Yanmei pondered for a while.
"Master, we can muster 100,000 troops..."
This force of 100,000 men also included the 10,000 wolf soldiers that Bo Lai had brought.
These wolf soldiers were trained by Uncle Bo himself; one of them is worth ten.
Wu Weiwei was overjoyed as she listened to Qin Yanmei's introduction of the wolf soldiers.
"If that's the case, then I'll trouble you, Yanmei, to deliver these people to the Northern Frontier, along with the new wound medicine I've developed!"
"Yes, sir."
Qin Yanmei had just returned when she was unexpectedly sent out again.
However, she had no complaints about it, because she would rather go to the front lines to fight than do nothing all day long.
While Wu Heran was worried about Xiao Qingyu's safety, the soldiers outside walked in excitedly.
"Young Master, reinforcements have arrived..."
Reinforcements?
He didn't ask anyone for help, not even his sister.
Did Mr. Xiao seek help from someone before going into battle?
Wu Heran walked out with a puzzled look on his face.
He looked at the back of the tall, strong man in full armor, who was standing with his back to him, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.
He didn't recall having such a person in his memory.
"you are?"
The middle-aged man slowly turned around; it was An Deshan.
"Ninth Prince, the Eldest Princess has ordered me to bring an army of 200,000 to provide reinforcements..."
"Are you one of the princess's people?"
Wu Heran was surprised.
Three days ago, Mr. Xiao discussed with him that the Regent Prince seemed to have had a relationship with the Eldest Princess in his early years. If the Eldest Princess sided with the Song rebels, the outcome would be uncertain.
If the army is defeated, his return to the royal family may be postponed even further.
Surprisingly, the eldest princess actually sent people to help them.
Could it be that his father, in heaven, heard his wish?
"Exactly."
Andersen looked at the handsome little boy in front of him. Despite his young age, he had a maturity that other children his age did not possess.
Indeed, this is the countenance of an emperor.
