Monarch of Evernight: Thirty-nine real traps

bsp;The dispute here is still ongoing, and there is another loud noise in the distance, even closer, and it is obvious that the enemy is advancing again.

Wu Daoyu's expression changed again and again, and he was already restless. Just hearing the majestic momentum of this battle, the dark race side dispatched at least a strong man of the Marquis of Glory level, and maybe a deputy duke. The situation on the front line must be extremely tight. But he had to stay here and quarrel with Zhao Junhong, feeling unspeakably depressed for a moment.

Now every moment, the casualties on the front line will become heavier. The people currently stationed there are all the main force of Wu Daoyu's direct lineage, and they are also the foundation of his establishment in the military department. It would be a lie to say that it is not heartbreaking. But Zhao Junhong obviously would not give up. In front of Sun Chao and Prince Rui, no matter how reluctant he was, he could not leave.

Seeing the endless debate, Sun Chao frowned, stretched out his hand to stop both parties, and said: "I already know this matter. There is insufficient evidence that the Zhao clan is collaborating with the enemy. How can we make a conclusion based on one family's words? But Zhao Jundu killed him The Major General of the Military Department is true. Even if this person framed Shangguan, the crime will not lead to death. This matter needs to be discussed in detail."

Wu Daoyu's face darkened, but this result was also expected, and he immediately said: "What about Qianye? It's not like we can't conclude that he is a vampire, right?"

These words were quite harsh, but Sun Chao seemed not to have heard the sarcasm at all, and still said in an unwavering voice: "Qianye has a blood core, and there are many witnesses. Besides, he broke into the army without permission." Although he had escaped from the empire, he could not escape the crime of kidnapping the princess of the blood clan in an important place. Since the matter started from the military department, the military department still took the lead and organized people to go to the outside of the territory to pursue her. Do you have any objections? Oh, by the way, during the military operation, remember to collect conclusive evidence of the instigators."

This decision was the right thing to do. Even if Sun Chao's last words were extremely harsh, Wu Daoyu couldn't say anything wrong and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Junhong's eyes flashed slightly, and then he lowered his head, his face calm.

The next case is the Zhao Jundu case. Sun Chao said: "Zhao Jundu is good at killing generals, but the other party also made mistakes. At this time, in the midst of a war, everything is subject to authority. Therefore, the investigation was suspended, and the military suspended the hearing and allowed Zhao Jundu to return to the front line. , what to do next depends on the merits. ”

Wu Daoyu was about to speak, thought for a moment, and then swallowed it back. Although he was a little reluctant, there was no point in locking up Zhao Jundu any longer. Besides, even if he is convicted, can the princess' son be allowed to pay for a major general's life?

Since the imperial family has come forward, not to mention that they cannot do something to Zhao Jundu, they must also provide him with good food and drink. If he wants to make some secret move, Wu Daoyu doesn't have the courage yet. Once noticed by the Zhao clan, he would never be able to get out of the Unfallen City alive.

And if you think about it further, Zhao Jundu's defense team has suffered a lot during this period. The dark race didn't know what kind of medicine they had taken wrongly. They stared at the military defense line and attacked fiercely, beating Wu Daoyu back steadily. Now on this defense line, the dark race is like a wedge on the outside of the Unfallen City.

With this kind of breakthrough, it stands to reason that if the Zhao clan's private armies on both sides attack together, they can force the dark race to retreat, and Wu Daoyu's pressure will be greatly reduced. But Zhao Clan just stood still, and the dark race seemed to know that Zhao Clan would not take action. They didn't care about the flanks and drove straight in with extremely arrogant arrogance.

Wu Daoyu accused Zhao Clan many times, but Zhao Clan responded with the same sentence every time: "That is not our defense zone."

Everyone knows about the grudges between Wu Daoyu and the Right Prime Minister and the Zhao clan. All the aristocratic families also understand the reason why the Zhao clan is holding back, so they all remain silent.

In these seven days, many of Wu Daoyu's generals were killed, and more than 30% of the army suffered casualties. The morale of the army was low and it was possible to collapse at any time. Wu Daoyu personally visited the front line many times to supervise the battle, and even took action several times, and finally managed to stabilize the position. But tonight's wrangling, the defense that was finally stabilized was defeated again.

Seeing that Wu Daoyu didn't say anything, other aristocratic families would naturally not object. What everyone in charge is thinking about is the previous decision. Zonglu Mansion asked the military to go out to hunt Qianye. Is it a perfunctory thing, is it giving the military a chance to silence him, or is it trying to follow the clues and find out who is the real mastermind behind it? Where is Zhang Mu?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Junhong suddenly stood up and said: "This is not appropriate! Jundu is the pillar of the empire and is crucial to the battle situation on the front line. If any rat-like traitor is allowed to speak, his words can be trusted How can we fight this war! The national war is an extraordinary period, and the people who frame Jundu are probably Yongye spies. If you kill such a person, you will be guilty. Wouldn't it be a chill for the soldiers?"

Wu Daoyu was furious and shouted: "Zhao Jundu can't reach a younger generation, how can he be said to be crucial to the battle situation?"

Zhao Junhong sneered: "When the defense line was in Jundu's hands, not a single cent was lost. In your hands, it was a crushing defeat. What is called vital, this is called crucial!"

Wu Daoyu was so angry that he couldn't speak. When Zhao Jundu was guarding the defense line, the dark race would occasionally attack, but once the other party sent out a truly strong man, Duke You would go and stop him. As for people who can fight to a draw with Duke You Guo, Wu Daoyu can only barely support him when he encounters him, so he retreats again and again.

But how can you say this?

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Sun Chao raised his hand again to stop the two of them and said: "Since the Zhao family has objections, I can't make the decision now. I should return to Tianqi immediately and let the decision be made by the above. While the matter is pending, Zhao Jundu continues the hearing, and the original defense line is still guarded by the military."

Wu Daoyu felt his eyes go dark and his hands were cold. He never expected that Zhao Clan's real trap would be here.

Zhao Clan obviously wants to use the hands of the dark race to have all his elite men destroyed under the unfallen city wall. By then, Wu Daoyu's wings will be gone. Although his combat power is still there, how can his opponents not seize the opportunity to seize power? Without power in the military, what use will he be even if he is a **** general?

After such a big setback, in the eyes of the right prime minister, I am afraid that the evaluation is not as good as before. The dream of regaining the marshal's scepter may turn out to be just a dream.

Sun Chao stood up immediately without hesitation, and headed straight to the take-off and landing field with his two followers, obviously intending to rush back to the imperial capital of Tianqi overnight. Seeing Sun Chao walking away, Wu Daoyu was determined to chase him, but he hesitated to stop, knowing that chasing was useless and would only make things worse, and he was filled with resentment at the moment.

Zhao Junhong stood next to Wu Daoyu, looked at Sun Chao's figure, and said leisurely: "Wu Shuai, Duke You Guo is in charge of the overall situation of the city that cannot fall. He has issued a strict order long ago. If anyone loses the defense area, let him If the dark race reaches the gates of the Unfallen City, it will be dealt with by military law. Only a small part of your defense zone is left."

Wu Daoyu snorted and said coldly: "This commander is affiliated with the military department and does not need to obey Duke Youguo's orders."

Zhao Junhong said calmly: "Wu Shuai is more familiar with the imperial military laws than I am. You know whether you need to obey this order or not. However, if one day, Wu Shuai dares to resist, according to the law, he must be disobeyed. Of the nine tribes.”

A chill gradually rose in Wu Daoyu's heart, but on the surface, of course, he refused to let his junior get the upper hand. He sneered, "If that day comes, don't worry, I will definitely remember to drag you along with me."

Zhao Junhong smiled slightly, without comment, and said: "By the way, since the military department is responsible for hunting down the vampire Qianye, Wu Shuai will have to send more experts there. Otherwise, if Qianye is killed, then Where do you put this old face? Where is the dignity of the right minister?"

Wu Daoyu’s heart skipped a beat and he asked in a deep voice: “What do you know?”

Zhao Junhong laughed and said: "How do I know anything? Qianye broke into the military headquarters, so you should know better. Wu Shuai, take care of yourself!"

Wu Daoyu surprisingly did not have a seizure, and Li Fengshui's body suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Li Fengshui's chest and abdomen were full of blood, and his internal organs were all broken into fine pieces. The cause of death was difficult to detect. Although Li Fengshui had been injured before, only he knew the extent of the injury. The person in charge of the Fifth Privy Council Office was extremely cunning and acted falsely. No one knew whether his injuries were true or false.

If Li Fengshui was only slightly injured and had a hostage in hand, but was killed by Qianye with force, then Qianye's true strength would be quite terrifying. Then thinking about Qianye being able to escape unnoticed under his nose, the shadow between Wu Daoyu's eyebrows became even thicker.

Sending fewer people and weakening the combat power is equivalent to sending food to Qianye. But if he wins Qianye steadily, it will greatly weaken his power in the Unfallen City. If the defense line is really unable to be defended, and Zhao Clan takes the opportunity to attack, Wu Daoyu will shed his skin even if he does not die.

This fact is a dilemma. Wu Daoyu frowned and thought hard, but he had no good solution.

At this time, Prince Rui came over and said to Zhao Junhong: "You have grown so big in a blink of an eye. When I first met you, you were not yet weaned, haha! Come on, have a drink with me."

Zhao Junhong said: "Your Highness has invited you, how dare you refuse to obey?"

Seeing Prince Rui and Zhao Junhong leaving together, how could Wu Daoyu not know that Zonglu Mansion was here specifically for the Zhao clan? He had exhausted all his traps, but he didn't expect that Qianye could escape from him. In addition, Zhao Jundu took the opportunity to cause trouble and took the blame himself.

It was enough to suppress Qianye, but Zhao Jundu was completely different. Even if your right minister comes in person, you can't do anything to him just based on this matter.

The originally good situation was ruined like this. After much thought, the key lies in the sudden change in the emperor's attitude. Wu Daoyu thought more deeply and found that the imperial family only sent an official from Zonglu Mansion and a Prince Rui to easily reverse the situation. After thinking carefully, Wu Daoyu suddenly felt the biting chill in the night wind.

In the Unfallen City, in a side room in the courtyard of the Wei family, Wei Potian was wrapped in a cloak and sleeping soundly. This wing was dilapidated and deserted, with only a bed, a table and a chair. There wasn't even a stove in the cold night. There was a teapot and a coarse porcelain cup on the table. The tea in the cup had already formed a thin layer of ice.

Such a miserable environment, of course, is not the bedroom of the eldest son of Wei, but a place where he is placed under house arrest. Only three times a day could Prince Wei leave his room, and only for a quarter of an hour each time. This little time was enough for him to go to the hut and stretch his muscles.

However, although the night was cold, Wei Potian, who was accomplished in Qianzhong Mountain, had no choice but to practice. He wrapped something casually and fell asleep snoring loudly. Even the two shocks that shook the Unfallen City could not wake him up. It seemed that even if someone shouted in his ear, Prince Wei was still determined to sleep until dawn.

At this moment, the door creaked open, and a figure flashed in like a ghost. The two Wei family soldiers guarding the door were unaware of it. They suddenly yawned profusely, leaned against the corner, and fell asleep.

The figure came to Wei Potian's bed, pushed him, and called: "Wake up."
