Mother, I have returned to the throne.

In the tent.

As the disturbance caused by Song Yuan gradually subsided, a group of generals gathered together, eating meat and drinking wine, and it was very lively.

The topic that everyone was discussing was naturally how the situation would develop afterwards.

Compared to the enthusiasm of the generals, His Majesty's Song Youji seemed a little absent-minded.

The current emperor is both happy and angry.

The one who was happy was his eldest son. Judging from his appearance, his life would be safe even if he went to the border.

With a talent like Huo Jianchuan by his side and the princess's assistance, he can feel much more at ease.

But on second thought, except for Song Yuan, the performances of the three princes who participated in the martial arts performance today were so poor.

Song Youji just felt furious.

shame!

Shame!

So many people were defeated in one move.

The key point is that Song Yuan hasn't suffered much loss.

It’s a pity that I had treated these three people as my heirs and cultivated them a lot.

It would have been better to invest all the energy I spent before in the dog. Maybe it can lead the troops now.

If they really want to go to the border, these three people need more experience than Song Yuan. Thinking of the angry place, Song Youji wished he could send these three people together.

Let them have some good experience and know what ability is!

Rumble…

Just as Song Youji was lost in thought, the sound of horse hooves suddenly interrupted the thoughts of everyone present.

"what's the situation?"

Song Youji frowned slightly and stood up first.

In the distance, there were gusts of wind and sand, and it was obvious that a large group of cavalry was rushing towards them.

"The eldest prince must have been caught. Wei Da and Xu Jie must have captured him!" General Zhao beside him guessed.

Upon hearing this, Song Youji nodded subconsciously.

It was almost time. Even though Song Yuan was powerful, he could not escape the hands of the two men.

To ease the atmosphere, Song Youji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Although Song Yuan has been arrested, everyone, why don't you guess who caught him?"

"Need I say more? It must be that beast of mine!" Duke Wei was the first to jump out, patting his chest and speaking.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others nodded in agreement.

It is said that sons take after their fathers. Just look at the bastard appearance of Duke Wei and you will know that.

Anyone who dares to steal the credit from this old scoundrel will end up getting beaten to a pulp.

I guess Xu Jie also has to face such a threat. Under such heavy pressure, he naturally dares not take action.

After all, Xu Jie's father's official position is still far inferior to that of Duke Wei.

If your background is not as big as theirs, what can you use to compete with them?

"If we really talk about taking credit, your Wei family is number one. Who in the entire dynasty can compare with you?" General Zhao teased in person.

The Duke of Wei did not care, he held his head high with a proud look.

With such nonsense, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed and laughter broke out.

Even Song Youji's depression dissipated a lot, and his mood improved a lot.

Just as everyone was discussing, the cavalry advanced.

The color of the cloth on the arm then came into view.

One black and one red!

This further verified everyone's speculation.

It must be Wei Da and Xu Jie without a doubt!

"its not right!"

But just when everyone thought that the martial arts performance was over, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Why are there three princes in this team?"

After hearing this reminder, the generals present all stuck their heads out, and sure enough, there were many other colors mixed in with the black and red.

In contrast, aren’t they the subordinates of the three princes?

"Logically speaking, the three princes shouldn't be able to catch up with the eldest prince and his group. How did this group of people get mixed up together now?"

"Could it be that the three princes were defeated by the eldest prince and are heading to the city to rescue him?"

"It's possible. Let's wait until they get in and then ask them carefully!"

Everyone talked one after another, and in the end, everyone felt at peace again.

He immediately stretched his neck and began to look for Song Yuan in the crowd.

Until Wei Da had already dismounted and walked forward.

Everyone's faces turned gloomy.

Logically speaking, the two generals should have brought the prince to claim credit as soon as they returned.

But now both of them are alone, and Song Yuan's men are not seen in the team.

What exactly is going on?

"You beast, hurry up and get over here, bring the eldest prince up here, and stop wasting time on me!"

In the crowd, Duke Wei stepped forward and roared at his electronic pet.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Da was stunned.

What eldest prince?

Didn’t they say that the eldest prince had been captured alive?

Countless thoughts popped up in Wei's mind, and after a while, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's a bad trick!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Da suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed.

Such words scared the others.

What do you mean?

How did I fall into the trap?

Just as everyone was surprised, another cavalryman came running towards the tent quickly.

Even from a long distance away, the loud voice had reached everyone's ears.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has followed the rules and successfully met up with reinforcements. This martial arts demonstration has concluded!"

ended?

what happened?

After hearing this, everyone felt confused.

Shouldn't General Wei capture the eldest prince alive?

How did the situation change so quickly?

Among the crowd, Duke Wei was the first to react. He shook his body, slammed the table hard, and stood up with a bang.

"You evil beast, get out of here!"

As he spoke, Duke Wei had already walked forward and grabbed Wei Da by the collar.

It looks like pulling a chicken.

"Tell me what happened before. If you can't explain it, I'm going to skin you alive!"

Faced with such a threat, Wei Da, who was beaming with joy just a second ago, suddenly became gloomy.

Only then did he report what had happened before truthfully with some trembling.

"I don't know what happened, but someone rushed out of the city to pass on the message that the eldest prince had been captured..."

As Wei Da spoke, he turned around and pointed at the men sent by Song Yuan with a bit of grievance.

At this point, everyone suddenly understood.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

The eldest prince is really good at this!

Teng...

Just as everyone was in an uproar, Duke Wei suddenly went berserk and without saying a word, kicked Wei Da hard in the chest.

Faced with this disappointing son, the Duke of Wei wanted to beat him up severely.

"Are you a pig brain? Have you ever considered that if the martial arts performance is really over, how could His Majesty not issue an imperial decree? You haven't even seen the imperial decree, and you ran back. Do you still have any brains?"

"I...I didn't expect that either!"

Wei Da stood up tremblingly, feeling depressed.

Who the hell could have thought of this?

3000 people against 2000 people, or cavalry against infantry.

In the end, it was the infantry that wiped out the cavalry?

"I wanted to ask about it, but this group of people started arguing as soon as they got there, saying that capturing the eldest prince was their own achievement. I was really annoyed by their arguing, so..."

Seeing that Wei Da was about to cry due to grievance, Duke Wei finally stayed behind. However, like most people present, he had already begun to question himself in his heart.

If I were in Wei Da's situation, would I believe what those people said?

Maybe it really will!

After all, no one expected that the three princes would be so weak. Three thousand cavalrymen against two thousand infantrymen, they couldn't hold on for half a day.

Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that Wei Da was easily fooled.

"Someone is here again!"

There was silence at the scene, and suddenly someone stood up and exclaimed.

Looking around, I saw Song Yuan already looking quite proud, with the people from the rendezvous point following him, returning in glory.

Not only that, compared to the previous scene, the current scene is even more exaggerated.

The last time Song Yuan appeared, he was alone on horseback, but now, there are many unridden war horses beside him!

Where did these war horses come from?

Faced with such a scene, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled.

But when they were about to reach the camp, Song Yuan waved his hand and his soldiers split into two groups.

A large group of people bypassed the camp and headed straight into the distance.

When Song Yuan came closer, Song Youji immediately became puzzled.

"Since the martial arts performance is over, why did you ask those people to take a detour?"

"Replying to the Emperor, my three younger brothers have not returned yet. I just sent people to pick them up!"
