Chapter 466 Lu Hanting, how about an eye for an eye?
"Wei'er, what is Lingfu saying?"
What monarch? What Qingwu Kingdom?
Seeing the doubt in Lu Hanting's eyes.
Lingfu scoffed, "Young Master, you wouldn't know this, would you? Our monarch..."
Just as Ling Fu was about to explain Wu Weiwei's identity again, another person came in from outside and reported: "Your Highness, General Zhang's army encountered a group of enemy soldiers claiming to be from Qingwu Kingdom outside the city. They immediately attacked us fiercely, and General Zhang was unable to cope..."
"how?"
Lu Hanting's face was grim, his expression frighteningly cold.
Seeing the leader's dark face, the soldier hesitated and said, "General Zhang's side may need the Crown Prince to send someone to assist him..."
Upon hearing this, Ru Feng looked at Wu Weiwei in surprise.
"Aunt, are all the people he mentioned your subordinates?"
Wu Weiwei raised her eyes and said to Lu Hanting in a low voice, "Lu Hanting, do you know the little stone beside me?"
Two days ago, your soldiers shot him dead with arrows at the Wujiang River. When my men found his body, it had already been mostly eaten by fish…
"Is there anything else going on?"
Lu Hanting glared at Ru Feng.
"Go and investigate immediately to find out if what Wei'er said is true!"
"Yes, prince!"
Seeing Wu Weiwei glaring at him angrily, Lu Hanting felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Wei'er, I knew nothing about this. If it is indeed found that it was done by one of my men, I will cut off that person's head and bring it to you!"
"Heh, a head?"
Thinking of Xiao Shitou's miserable state, Wu Weiwei glanced at him coldly, seemingly unappreciative.
Even if Lu Hanting killed that person, so what? Little Stone's life could never be brought back.
"Your Highness, what about General Zhang..."
Although I knew the prince was in a bad mood, the situation on Vice General Zhang's side was indeed urgent.
If the prince doesn't send reinforcements soon, he fears General Zhang's entire army will be wiped out.
After all, the enemy was very strong before he arrived, and they were almost ready to beat them to a pulp.
Hearing this, Lu Hanting frowned and looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Wei'er, if they really are your people, make them stop right now..."
"Stop? Who gives you the right?"
Wu Weiwei turned her head, meeting his gaze with a hint of provocation.
"you……"
Seeing that Wu Weiwei remained unmoved, Lu Hanting glared angrily at the soldier.
"What is Zhang Er good for? He can't even handle a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
Go back and tell him that if he really can't win, then he should be prepared to die a heroic death!
"This……"
The soldier felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this.
"What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!"
"Yes, I understand! I'll get going right away!"
After the soldier left, the hall fell into silence.
The Empress and the Crown Prince were both shocked.
When did Wu Weiwei become a powerful figure in this region?
Moreover, it seems that her soldiers are quite strong, as they are able to restrain Lu Hanting's men.
But the Crown Prince was not concerned with these things.
What did he just hear?
Wu Weiwei is actually the monarch of Qingwu Kingdom?
The Crown Prince was thrilled when he thought of the letter he had received last time!
If Wu Weiwei is indeed the monarch of Qingwu Kingdom, then that means she must have come to help him seize the throne.
Thinking of all this, the Crown Prince excitedly asked, "Um, Miss Weiwei, may I ask you something?"
The crown prince's sudden remark caused everyone to turn and look at him.
Seeing the lecherous look in the Crown Prince's eyes as he gazed at Wei'er, Lu Hanting was about to rebuke him when he heard Wu Weiwei speak up: "What does the Crown Prince want to ask?"
"You, the letter you sent to me last time, was it authentic?"
Hearing that this was the reason, Wu Weiwei looked at him.
The crown prince was seen wearing a disheveled imperial robe, which was casually draped over his body, making him look both comical and disheveled.
She scoffed, "Your Highness, times have changed. If you truly wish to make a deal with my Qingwu Kingdom, you'll have to raise your bargaining chips!"
"Wu Weiwei, that's not what you said in your letter!"
The Empress, listening to Wu Weiwei's words, said indignantly.
"Your Majesty, the past was the past, and the present is the present..."
Wu Weiwei glanced at her sideways.
"Besides, you and your son are already prisoners, so you don't seem to have the right to talk to me!"
"You, Wu Weiwei, you untrustworthy slut!"
The empress was furious and blurted out a string of curses.
She had just been happy, thinking that Wu Weiwei would help her son rise to power as she had said in the letter, but it turned out that she had been tricked.
"Chen, watch your tone. The monarch is not someone you can insult at will!"
Hearing the Empress's foul language, Chunxiao drew her sword.
Even though Lu Hanting had just had a falling out with Wu Weiwei, he still looked at her with a cold expression.
"You, you guys..."
Well, this pair of scoundrels, on the surface they are fierce rivals, but in reality they are birds of a feather.
Their goal today is simply to seize her son's throne.
Especially Wu Weiwei, she didn't sincerely want to help her son at all.
Just as the Empress was about to argue further, Chen Guojiu pulled her back.
"Mingzhe, release me at once..."
"Your Majesty, she's right. We are now Lu Hanting's prisoners. I advise you and the Crown Prince to forget about that position..."
If they don't fight for that position, Lu Hanting might spare their lives.
But if they displease these two, they might actually kill them.
"This Empress, this Empress..."
A moment later, Ru Feng rushed over.
"Your Highness, I have just questioned you. The troops that fought the Wei army that day were led by General Meng."
According to his men, there were indeed several ships lingering at the ferry crossing that day. They assumed they were sent by the enemy to ambush them, so they ordered their men to shoot arrows at them..."
Upon hearing that this was indeed the case, Lu Hanting's expression immediately sharpened.
Are you sure it's Meng Guang?
Like a nod in the wind.
Deputy General Meng is an invaluable and fierce general under the Crown Prince.
Although he was arrogant and his methods were somewhat extreme, he was a rare and fierce general.
In this siege, if he hadn't led three thousand men to support Wei Liang from behind, they probably wouldn't have been able to capture the capital so quickly.
Upon hearing that it was Meng Guang's men who did it, Lu Hanting frowned deeply.
Seeing his appearance, Wu Weiwei sneered, "What? You just said you would cut off the culprit's head and bring it to me, but now you're reluctant?"
Hearing Wu Weiwei's slightly sarcastic words, Lu Hanting couldn't help but feel annoyed.
But on the surface, he still coaxed her, "Wei'er, Little Stone is just a lowly servant by your side!"
But Meng Guang is an important general under my command; the two are simply incomparable.
"How about this, I'll compensate you with something else, and we can reconcile today, shall we?"
"A mere servant? Reconciliation?"
Wu Weiwei scoffed.
“Lu Hanting, I can understand that you don’t value your subordinates’ lives, but you shouldn’t think that I’m the same as you.”
"Want to reconcile? Fine, then pay with your life for Little Stone's!"
