My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 179 Internal and external cooperation
This matter concerned her future sister-in-law. Xue Youli shuddered and sat up in bed: [Why is Night Crow so haunting?]
Book of Heavenly Secrets: [Murong Ye took action tonight. Fortunately, your elder brother was able to enter the palace to see the emperor before him, otherwise he would have become the scapegoat for the weapons swap tomorrow!]
Xue Youli: [You mean, the person who urgently went to the palace to see the emperor was my eldest brother?]
When Wang Defa came to report just now, Xue Youli was too sleepy and didn't take his conversation with Murong Che to heart. He just lay down and planned to sleep.
But now, when she saw the contents of the Book of Heavenly Secrets, she woke up all of a sudden.
Tianjishu: [Indeed, he and Yu Minyan set up an ambush ahead of time and caught the gang red-handed who switched the weapons tonight. However, by the time your eldest brother arrived to report the situation to Murong Che, Ye Ya had already left for the East Camp.]
Xue Youli didn't have time to think about it and just turned over and got out of bed.
After she dressed neatly, she hurried to Zicheng Palace.
……
At this time, Murong Che's dragon chariot had arrived at Zicheng Palace.
"This general pays homage to His Majesty!"
Xue Wuji had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw him he immediately went forward to pay his respects.
Murong Che gestured to him to stand up and asked directly, "General Xue, what is your purpose in entering the palace so late at night?"
Xue Wuji immediately recounted what had happened in the East Camp tonight. "Your Majesty, although those men were captured tonight by this general, when General Yu and I were inspecting the warehouse, we discovered that several batches of military equipment had been replaced with stolen weapons! The once sharp weapons had been replaced with a pile of scrap metal!"
What's even more terrifying is that the scrap iron is covered in rust. Not to mention killing enemies in a war, it would be difficult to even chop cabbage with it.
Murong Che showed a thoughtful expression and was silent for a moment before saying, "To be able to avoid the patrols and guards of the East Camp and switch the weapons without anyone noticing, it would be impossible for just a few soldiers to do it."
Xue Wuji nodded, agreeing with his analysis. "Your Majesty is wise! Not only do they know the deployment of the East Camp guards like the back of their hand, but they were also able to transport so much military equipment. Someone must be colluding with them!"
"That's right. When I returned home, I overheard my eldest brother mention this to my father!"
Before Xue Wuji finished speaking, Xue Youli pushed open the door and strode into the Zicheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. You left in such a hurry just now that you left the jade pendant in my palace. I was afraid you would be worried if you couldn't find it, so I brought it to you!"
Murong Che glanced at the jade pendant in Xue Youli's hand and recognized at a glance that it was not his.
However, he knew very well that Xue Youli wanted to stay and listen to his conversation with Xue Wuji by giving him the jade pendant.
He nodded cooperatively. "Xuepin, you've arrived just in time. I'm a little thirsty. Please pour me a cup of tea. General Xue, let's continue where we were talking."
"Yes."
Xue Wuji raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Youli. "As Concubine Xue said, a few days ago, I discovered suspicious traces of weapons being moved on the ground outside the armory. I didn't make a public announcement, but instead reported it to my father when I returned home. My father works at the Dali Temple and he immediately warned me that someone might have moved the weapons in the armory."
Xue Youli listened to his eldest brother's words and nodded hurriedly. "That's right! It was done by Third-Rank General Zhao Ming of Andong! He was already wary of my eldest brother, and seeing how highly the Emperor values him, he was even more worried that once he established himself in the military, he would no longer have a place in the East Camp. Therefore, he and Murong Ye hit it off and replaced all the weapons my eldest brother was responsible for with rusty scrap!"
In Kyushu, improper storage of weapons is a serious crime.
If the blame is put on Xue Wuji, he will be dismissed from his post at the very least, beheaded at the worst, and even his family may be affected.
Murong Ye’s plan is so vicious!
Xue Wuji paused, then continued, "I have already sent people to track down the whereabouts of these stolen weapons. I believe there will be news soon."
Xue Youli had already checked the Book of Heavenly Secrets on the way here: "I know where they are. Murong Ye has loaded all the weapons onto ships. He plans to transport them out of the capital by water, to be used when he rebels. Right now, the ships loaded with weapons are docked at a pier not far from the East Camp!"
Murong Che listened calmly to Xue Youli's thoughts, then calmly said to Xue Wuji, "Actually, I've long noticed something fishy about Zhao Ming and sent people to secretly monitor his every move. The weapons he swapped are at the city's east dock, where there are nearly twenty ships docked. All of them are loaded with weapons shipped out of the East Camp, and they want to transport them all out of the capital!"
Xue Youli was stunned: [Oh my god! Murong Che actually knows everything about Zhao Ming's actions! His intelligence network is even more powerful than my cheat code!]
[But when you think about it, it's not surprising. If he didn't have some skills, how could he have sat firmly on the throne?]
The more Xue Youli thought about it, the more he admired Murong Che. He felt that with his brains, he would succeed in whatever he did!
Who can snatch the throne from him?
If she had known this, she would have just lay peacefully in bed and enjoyed her beauty sleep.
Xue Wuzhi didn't expect that Murong Che's spies would act so quickly and immediately found out where the swapped weapons were.
He knelt on one knee and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I am willing to recover these weapons!"
The weapons were lost while he was on duty, and if the matter is investigated, he will have an inescapable responsibility.
Xue Youli had been distracted by them, so focused on the whereabouts of the weapons that he almost forgot about Yu Minyan. "Brother, Zhao Ming had the audacity to swap the weapons, which is enough to prove that he has powerful backers. You left the barracks and entered the palace without permission tonight. Zhao Ming might have already received the news! If a man like him has no bottom line, he will make moves on your trusted confidants in the East Camp if he gets desperate!"
[Young General Yu has been captured by Murong Ye's men. Big brother, hurry up and rescue him!]
Xue Youli didn't know whether Xue Wuji could understand her hint, and was struggling with whether to directly tell Xue Wuji the news that Yu Minyan was in danger.
At this moment, Murong Che took over her words and said to Xue Wuji, "General Xue, Ali is right. You entered the palace alone. Do you still have your trusted aides in the East Camp? If Zhao Ming and the people behind him realize that they have been exposed, will it be harmful to your people?"
Xue Wuji's pupils tightened, and he immediately thought of Yu Minyan, "Your Majesty, since you already know where the lost weapons are, please send someone to recover them! I need to return to the East Camp immediately!"
Once he adds more people, Zhao Ming will definitely be able to notice something is wrong at the first moment.
Therefore, it would be most appropriate for the emperor's confidants to intercept this batch of weapons.
Murong Che naturally wouldn't delay him from rescuing people. "I will arrange for someone to retrieve the weapons. When General Xue returns to the East Camp, he must capture Zhao Ming!"
"Yes! I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!"
