Chapter 302 It’s all Jin Wunan’s fault!
Li Changsheng, Jiang Xiner, Princess Baili and others had just taken refuge.
Hundreds of cavalrymen came galloping on their horses, raising clouds of dust.
The leader is Li Changsheng’s old friend.
Zhao Xiong!
A human head was hung in front of his warhorse.
When Lu Wenqing saw the head, he was shocked.
"Isn't that Third Young Master Ying Yong?"
Bai Li took a closer look and said, "It really is Ying Yong. Strange, wasn't he in the Suanzao camp? How could he die here?"
Seeing this, Jiang Xiner immediately looked at Li Changsheng with a guilty conscience.
Li Changsheng calmly held her hand and used his eyes to tell her that he would take care of everything and told her not to be afraid.
Jiang Xiner felt the warmth coming from Li Changsheng's big hands, and her heart was filled with a sense of security. She was no longer afraid.
After comforting Jiang Xiner, Li Changsheng stepped forward and said to Lu Wenqing:
"General Lu, no matter what, we can't let them take the Third Young Master's head away. We must bring it back and hand it over to King Zhao!"
Lu Wenqing looked troubled and said, "Young Master Yan's words make sense, but there are hundreds of them, and there might be other helpers nearby. It would be difficult for just a few of us to retrieve the Third Young Master's head, right?"
Li Changsheng nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. I'm injured right now and can't fight at my full potential. Otherwise, retrieving the Third Young Master's head would be a piece of cake!"
In fact, he had no intention of taking back Ying Yong's head.
I say this purely out of courtesy.
This way, when King Zhao asks, I will have an explanation.
……
After Zhao Xiong led the cavalry past, Li Changsheng looked at his back with some meaningful expression.
"It's very dangerous here. We can't stay here any longer. We have to hurry back to report to King Zhao!"
Lu Wenqing, Jiang Xiner, Bai Li and others nodded repeatedly to show their agreement.
Afterwards, they all headed towards the Suanzao camp safely.
……
When Prince Ying Qi learned that Yan Qing had returned alive, he was shocked.
He quickly called his confidant Zhu Xuan and asked impatiently, "Is there any news about Jin Wunan?"
Zhu Xuan shook his head: "No, there has been no news so far!"
Ying Qi angrily cursed, "Jin Wunan is such a loser, he's more of a hindrance than a help!"
After greeting Jin Wunan harshly, Ying Qi felt vaguely uneasy.
"Zhu Xuan, do you think Yan Qing can detect that it was this prince who betrayed him?"
Zhu Xuan corrected him, "Prince, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's all because of that Jin Wunan's evil intentions, and you, Prince, were simply deceived by him!"
Ying Qi was stunned when he heard this.
Once I figured out the key points, my eyes lit up.
"Mr. Zhu is absolutely right. This is all Jin Wunan's evil intentions, and this prince is unaware of them."
In Yingqi's opinion, Jin Wunan is now in a very dangerous situation.
Maybe he has become a corpse now.
Dead people are naturally the best targets for blaming others.
Anyway, there is no evidence.
"Prince, there is one more thing. Third Young Master Ying Yong seems to be dead!"
Ying Qi was startled when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "What did you say? Ying Yong is dead. Is this true?"
Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Just now I heard Lu Wenqing say that he saw the Third Young Master's head hanging in front of an enemy general's horse. It shouldn't be fake!"
Seeing that the news was most likely true, Ying Qi clapped his hands excitedly.
"It's a good thing he died! This guy really deserves his own death for his evil deeds!"
Seeing this, Zhu Xuan quickly reminded him.
"Prince, the King of Zhao is most worried about you three brothers turning against each other. I'm worried that the Second Young Master will use this as an opportunity to attack you!"
Ying Qi nodded thoughtfully.
"Where's Lu Wenqing?"
Zhu Xuan said, "Let's go see King Zhao with Yan Qing!"
Ying Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go and see our father!"
……
"What, my third brother is dead?"
When Ying Jie learned that his brother had died, he was stunned.
"Do you know how Ying Yong died?"
Zhao Kun shook his head and said, "The situation is unclear at the moment. The head was taken away by the generals under the command of General Xiao Tiangui."
"Besides, Yan Qing, Bai Li, Lu Wenqing, Jiang Xiner and the others all saw it with their own eyes, so it shouldn't be fake!"
Ying Jie asked, "Didn't Yan Qing and Lu Wenqing go to the front lines to gather information?"
"Bai Li and Jiang Xiner, why are they with them?"
Zhao Kun said: "I don't know the specific situation."
"All I know is that Yan Qing, Lu Wenqing and their men were ambushed as soon as they arrived at the front lines, suffering heavy casualties."
"According to the horse officer, the day Princess Baili and Jiang Xiner left was the day Yan Qing and Lu Wenqing and their men set out on their expedition."
"Second Young Master Ying Yong also disappeared that day. A personal guard saw him heading in the same direction as Princess Baili and Jiang Xiner!"
Ying Jie paused for a moment and asked, "My second brother went alone, didn't he have any entourage?"
Zhao Kun shook his head: "No, only the Second Young Master is alone!"
Yingjie is a smart man. Based on these details, he quickly made a bold guess.
Bai Li and Jiang Xiner went to chase Yan Qing.
And it happened to be seen by Ying Yong.
Ying Yong is lustful by nature and has always been greedy for Jiang Xiner's body.
He saw Jiang Xiner and Bai Li leaving the Suanzao camp and followed them all the way.
Thinking of this, Ying Jie's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Zhao Kun, what about Yan Qing when he knew that Jiang Xiner was Ying Qi's fiancée?"
"For her sake, I can even sign a military order in front of my father to capture Hulao Pass."
"If he discovered that Ying Yong was plotting against Jiang Xiner, and killed him, wouldn't that be reasonable?"
Hearing this speculation, Zhao Kun couldn't help but look shocked.
"Second Young Master, are you saying that it was Yan Qing who killed Ying Yong?"
Ying Jie asked: "I just want to ask you, is there such a possibility?"
Zhao Kun carefully considered his words and said, "Second Young Master, this possibility certainly exists."
"But if it was really Yan Qing who killed the Third Young Master, then why would he come back and walk into the trap?"
Yingjie thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.
"That's true. If I were Yan Qing, after I really killed Ying Yong, I would definitely take Jiang Xiner away and never come back."
"It seems like my third brother is pretty unlucky. He didn't catch the fox, but ended up getting into trouble!"
Ying Jie and Ying Yong are brothers from the same mother.
But regarding the death of his own brother, he felt not very sad except for some sighing.
Even deep in his heart, there was an indescribable joy.
After all, Ying Yong is gone.
All the focus of my grandfather's side will be on Yingjie alone.
Just as Ying Jie was sighing, Zhao Kun suddenly reminded him.
"Second Young Master, there is another person who mysteriously disappeared on the day Yan Qing and the others left!"
Ying Jie asked hurriedly: "Who?"
Zhao Kun said: "Jin Wunan!"
Ying Jie asked, "Are you saying that Jin Wunan killed Ying Yong?"
Zhao Kun said: "It could be him!"
Ying Jie was stunned for a moment, but when he figured out the interests involved, he spoke excitedly.
"Yes, it was this Jin Wunan who killed my third brother!"
Jin Wunan is the man of the Crown Prince Yingqi.
What their father hated most was fratricide.
If the death of the third brother was blamed on Jin Wunan.
Then it is equivalent to indirectly putting the blame on Yingqi.
By then, even if my father does not depose Ying Qi from the position of Crown Prince for the sake of the overall situation,
I'm afraid I'll dislike him because of this.
Thinking of this, Ying Jie excitedly slapped his thigh, his surprise was beyond words.
There is no grief like that of a younger brother who just died.
"Let's go and see our father now!"
