Ye Wuwei squatted down and examined the bodies of the seven people lying on the ground:

"Three were shot to death with arrows, and four were killed with bayonets.

But these wounds were not caused by the bayonets used in our army."

After saying this, Ye Wuwei took off the bat knife and blood thorn he was carrying, "The bayonets we use in the army are much sharper and more practical."

Prime Minister Yuwen looked at Ye Wuwei unhappily: "How can you be sure that the scars were not caused by the bayonets you used?"

Ye Wuwei looked at the commander of the Imperial Guards:

"Prime Minister Yuwen doesn't understand weapons, but you, Commander, do. Why don't you come over and see if the four dead were injured by the two bayonets I hold?"

The commander of the Imperial Guard looked at General Qi, who nodded.

The commander of the Imperial Guards squatted down to examine the injuries of the four men and was shocked:

The wounds on the four men were indeed not caused by the two bayonets in Ye Wuwei's hands, but rather by the bayonets equipped by the Imperial Guards.

The commander of the Imperial Guard stood up and said, "The wounds on these four men were definitely not caused by the two bayonets he held."

Ye Wuwei quickly responded:

“Not only me, the prince, Prince Chu, Qi Cheng, and Qi Wu, but the bayonets they all wear are the two in my hands.

The bayonets in our army have long been replaced."

After Ye Wuwei finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Qi Wushuang and others, and it was exactly as Ye Wuwei said.

Ye Wuwei took advantage of the Imperial Guards commander's distraction and pulled out the bayonet from his waist:

"Let me see what the guards' bayonets look like."

It was too late for the commander of the Royal Guard to stop it.

Ye Wuwei took the bayonet of the Imperial Guard Commander and looked at it twice, pretending to be surprised:

"Commander, why do I see the wounds on the four people on the ground are exactly the same as the bayonet wounds on your body?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards shouted, "How could I be an assassin?"

Ye Wuwei compared the wounds on the four people on the ground with the bayonet of the Imperial Guards commander: "These four people were injured by this bayonet."

General Qi looked at the commander of the Imperial Guards and asked, "What's going on?"

The commander of the Imperial Guard said, "This is the uniform bayonet issued to the Imperial Guard."

Chu Fuchi continued: "So, the assassin is from the Imperial Guards."

The Commander of the Guards: "You can't conclude that the assassin is a Guardsman just by looking at a bayonet."

Ye Wuwei:

"Since even the evidence cannot prove that the assassin was a member of the Imperial Guard, then you cannot falsely accuse the assassin of being sent by the prince."

Things have come to this point, and saying more would be superfluous.

Ye Wuwei looked at Qi Wushuang:

"Your Highness, these seven people died protecting the Emperor. They were loyal men. Please collect their bodies first."

If the situation had not forced him, Ye Wuwei would not have killed these seven people, nor would he have kept making a fuss about their deaths.

Now that the matter has been resolved, it is time to properly arrange their funeral affairs, which can be regarded as compensation for Ye Wuwei's inability to help.

In fact, as long as there is war, innocent people will die.

Even if Qi Wushuang does not start a civil war today, the emperor will do the same in two days, and casualties are inevitable.

It’s just a matter of who died!

Ye Wuwei understood these principles, but if possible, he still hoped there would be fewer wars.

Qi Wushuang was sensitive to Ye Wuwei's guilt from his words, and said to Qi Taiwei and the others:

“You know better than me what happened in today’s battle.

I stayed in Chamdo for three years, and the emperor tried to assassinate and poison me many times, but I endured it all.

But now there are still 100,000 troops heading towards Andu and Yingdu, trying to capture the two places.

If the emperor hadn't wanted to kill us all, nothing would have happened tonight.

But do you think a hundred thousand troops can defeat us?"

Hearing Qi Wushuang say this, the expressions of the more than 20 officials present changed.

Several officials did not know that a 100,000-strong army was heading towards Andu and Yingdu, and even more officials did not know that the emperor had assassinated and poisoned Qi Wushuang many times.

These officials all looked at General Qi, Grand Tutor Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen.

General Qi and the other two were all aware of this.

But there can't be two tigers in one mountain, so General Qi can only turn a blind eye.

And Master Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen would not stop the emperor, because getting rid of Qi Wushuang would benefit both families in every way.

However, at this time, the expressions of Master Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen changed drastically.

Most of the 100,000 troops heading to Andu and Yingdu were from their two tribes and the various families affiliated with the two tribes.

With the combat effectiveness of Qi Wushuang's army today, their 100,000-strong army would definitely be no match for them.

Now that the emperor is dead, judging by Qi Wushuang's attitude, it is very likely that it will not be the turn of the three princes to ascend the throne.

Even if Qi Wushuang did not ascend the throne due to pressure from officials and public opinion, he would never allow the second and third princes, who were backed by the Zhuang and Yuwen families, to ascend the throne.

He will support the weak eldest prince to ascend the throne.

The eldest prince's ascension to the throne is just a puppet of Qi Wushuang. I am afraid that most of Qi's guards will turn against Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang's power will be even greater than before.

If the 100,000-strong army were gone, Qi Wushuang would truly be the only one dominating the world, and the Zhuang and Yuwen families would be increasingly suppressed until they declined.

Thinking of this, Grand Tutor Zhuang and Prime Minister Yuwen spoke at the same time.
