Long Yan gave a quick glance at Tonglu
‘According to my reasoning, nothing in the world is certain. This plan is risky, and if something goes wrong… The marshal has even sacrificed his own brother.‘
Tong Li’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and his eyes were hesitant. Tong Lu was as steady as a mountain
’It is dangerous, but nothing will happen. Besides, people from my Tong family have been defending the borders of Dazhe for generations, and there are no cowards among them.’
‘The marshal is really eloquent.‘
Jun Xu suddenly kicked Tong Li’s wrist, leapt to his feet, seized his sword, and slapped him out of the tent. Tong Lu remained calm
’Your Highness’s kung fu is still very good,”
Jun Xu sighed, ’This imperial princess has survived for so long thanks to her internal strength kung fu.’
‘No matter the outcome, I will not be able to return. If I win, it will be because I was arrogant and presumptuous, barging into a tiger’s den. You, the Grand Marshal, had to send your own younger brother with you because you were in the way of the imperial family. In the end, you turned the tide and won a resounding victory, while the princess, blinded by her desire for quick success, brought this on herself and perished without a trace. If I lose, there is no need to mention it. This way, I can get rid of any future problems, and there will be no one to testify against me.’
Jun Xu looked at Tongluo’s face, which was gradually becoming embarrassed, and said with contempt
‘It’s hard for you to sacrifice your own brother, but if you don’t do it this way, it would be hard to fool the emperor, wouldn’t it? After all, no one is as clever as an emperor, and this trick of feigning injury is ruthless and ruthless enough!’
‘…… After a general’s success, thousands of bones wither. This is also something that cannot be helped.’
Jun Xu played with the sword, raising his eyebrows
‘What if I just refuse to go, what would the marshal do?‘
Tonglu sighed
’Originally, I would not have worried until Your Highness woke up, but after you woke up… I had no choice but to… tamper with your food and drink.‘
Junxu’s wrist jerked and his face changed. Tonglu drank some tea quietly
’Your Highness can refuse to bend, but you may not care about the life of that young attendant, right?’
Jun Xu frowned, his face uncertain. In the end, he coughed twice
‘Truly a good move, watertight. I wonder if there is an antidote?’
‘Your Highness is understanding. The antidote will be provided.’
Jun Xu lifted his eyes, silent and unruffled
‘I will get rid of him in two days. I hope Marshal Tong will spare him then.’
“Your Highness need not worry. Marshal Tong is not a bloodthirsty person. I will let Your Highness see for yourself and set your mind at ease.’
