Chapter 285: Take One Step, Watch One Step
Seeing Song Yuan so confident.
Wei Wushuang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frown, feeling even more guilty.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward. General Wei was very angry at the moment. If he allowed him to speak, the two sides might end up in a head-on confrontation.
Only if others give advice can this stalemate be resolved.
"If you ask me, what the prince said may not be unreasonable, but I can prove General Wei's innocence. There may be some misunderstanding!"
"Your Highness, how about this? Put down the knife first, and we can talk slowly about what's going on!"
"Okay, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
What Wei Wushuang didn't expect was that Song Yuan easily agreed to his statement.
But before he could be happy, Song Yuan waved his hand and gave an order.
"Come here, tie these guys up! They're plotting a rebellion and want to murder me. If you want to talk to me, at least show some sincerity!"
"You..." General Wei, the commander-in-chief of the army, immediately wanted to refute after hearing this.
Wei Wushuang beside him hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him: "Brother, since we have a clear conscience, why should we be afraid of the prince's actions?"
"If you ask me, just let the prince tie us up. After all, it will prove our innocence in the end!"
"Well... well, everyone, obey my orders and do not resist!"
Faced with his brother's dissuasion, General Wei immediately came to his senses and chose to compromise at the first opportunity.
Upon seeing this, Song Yuan waved his hand and his men immediately stepped forward and tied up General Wei like dumplings one by one.
Seeing this, Song Yuan waved his hand and immediately gave instructions to Situ Jing and others.
"You must go down. No one is allowed to enter the tent without my order. Oh, and take General Wei's personal guards with you when you leave. I need to have a good chat with these two generals!"
When Situ Jing heard this, he trembled and was about to step forward immediately. Fortunately, Jinlian grabbed Situ Jing's arm, and everyone was able to leave the tent together.
After everyone left, Wei Wushuang was the first to speak: "Your Highness, if you ask me, how can you guarantee that the people under your command are trustworthy?"
"They followed me all the way here. No matter who they were, if they had even the slightest disloyalty, I wouldn't be alive today. So why would we unite with the barbarians?"
Song Yuan glanced at Wei Wushuang coldly and explained softly.
Wei Wushuang looked at his eldest brother and immediately warned him, "Since the prince is so confident, the source of the problem is very likely on our side. Brother, have you told anyone about this plan?"
General Wei was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he immediately realized what his brother meant.
The other party clearly wanted to use this as an excuse to find a scapegoat for him.
This matter was not done by General Wei himself, but if there is any doubt, the first target is the younger brother in front of him!
But in the final analysis, General Wei could not push his relatives into the fire pit no matter what. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to nod and look at Song Yuan to tell him a time.
"Your Highness, how do you think about this? Now that we've all been cleared up and it's all a misunderstanding, there's no need for us to resort to violence. I'll go back and investigate this matter immediately. Just give me three days!"
"I promise to give you a satisfactory answer in three days. If this matter is truly related to one of my men, I will kowtow and apologize to you!"
Song Yuan naturally didn't want to push too hard. In the final analysis, he just wanted to take this opportunity to shut the other person up.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he simply went along with it and waved his hand and nodded.
"Since General Wei is so sincere, then let's settle this matter. If you can prove in three days that you have nothing to do with this matter, I will apologize to you in public!"
As he said that, Song Yuan personally stepped forward to untie the two of them.
After they stood up, they immediately left to investigate the matter.
"Don't be impatient, General!"
Song Yuan looked at General Wei's back and immediately called out to him. He then patiently warned him, "You all know what happened to General Wei before. Those barbarians are attacking the left wing. I'm afraid you'll have to deploy troops and defend it later!"
"You don't need to say more about this matter. I naturally know how to deal with it!" General Wei nodded, then waved his sleeves and left angrily.
After a while, as General Wei and his entourage left completely, Situ Jing was the first to enter the tent.
Looking at Song Yuan's face, there was a hint of anxiety: "You scared me to death just now, do you know what you are going to do?"
"If we really turn against that Wei guy, I'm afraid we won't end up with anything good in the end!"
"Of course I understand this matter, but you didn't know the whole story just now. That guy wanted to transfer me somewhere else, and I didn't get angry just now, so how could I find a reason to refuse?"
Song Yuan immediately explained, "Now that I've made such a fuss, I'm sure he won't dare to do anything wrong again! Otherwise, it would be equivalent to confirming his crime of treason. My only goal is to stay in Mohai City!"
After all, after a long period of accumulation, Mohai City has now become the foundation of Song Yuan.
It must never be abandoned in any case.
Besides staying here, Song Yuan also had other ideas.
"The news that the barbarians got before must have spread from Zhenbei City. If I don't do this and warn them, the people behind the scenes will be unscrupulous!"
"Besides, I had this scene with General Wei just to shut up some people in the Imperial City!"
"Now, with the frequent reports of victory, I must be considered a well-known figure in the Imperial City. I wonder how many people are secretly watching me, probably only thinking of how to frame me for treason!"
"Now that General Wei and I have fallen out, the so-called rebellion naturally doesn't exist. To put it bluntly, we must think three steps ahead and plan ahead for everything!"
When Song Yuan said this, Situ Jing's eyes showed some understanding. Looking at Song Yuan's plan again, she couldn't help but admire him more.
However, apart from the Qin Dynasty, the crises that everyone needs to face now still come from the barbarians.
"Now that the danger from the court has been resolved, we should focus more on the barbarians. This time, the high priest returned with hatred and will definitely not let it go!"
"Isn't it good that they hate me? This is exactly the ending I want!"
Song Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled. As soon as he said this, Situ Jing immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Do you have any new ideas? Are you planning to cheat the barbarians again?"
"This time, it won't be easy for me to trick them!" Song Yuan shrugged and started to explain immediately.
"Is the high priest a fool? How could he be fooled again and again? I just thought that the more he hated me, the more likely he would lose his composure, and in that case, the greater the opportunity for me!"
"I believe you ghost!"
Faced with Song Yuan's explanation, Situ Jing blinked unhappily.
"I heard that you sent Huo Jianchuan yesterday to build a granary twenty miles outside the Peacock River!"
"If you don't have any ideas in your mind, how could you do such a thing?"
"Oh, you're talking about this. I planned this just for fishing!" Song Yuan responded with a smile.
When Situ Jing heard this answer, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
But this time, Song Yuan didn't wait for Situ Jing to ask any further questions, but just waved his hand.
"Alright, this matter shouldn't be made public. The more people know, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen in the end. Don't ask anymore. I'll let you know when the time comes!"
Although Situ Jing was unwilling in her heart, seeing Song Yuan's expression, she finally had to pout and nodded, agreeing with this matter.
