After talking to Ye Wuwei, Qi Yushen retreated back to Qi Yuli and the other two.

Qi Yuli glanced in Ye Wuwei's direction and asked Qi Yushen, "Are you close to Captain Ye?"

Qi Yushen said vaguely: "Captain Ye and I are old acquaintances."

Qi Yuli didn't say anything, but the big stick Qi Yuye said:

"Qi Yushen, you are the prince of Su County after all. Do you really need to flatter a captain? You are really bringing shame to the royal family!"

Qi Yushen ignored Qi Yuye.

Qi Yuchang glanced at Ye Wuwei viciously and said in his heart: I will make sure you die without a burial place today!

Before the coffin was lifted, Qi Yuli, the eldest son, smashed a clay basin in front of the emperor's coffin.

Then the Royal Guards led the way and carried the coffin for the funeral.

According to etiquette, Qi Yuli, as the eldest son, should be the one holding the spirit tablet and carrying the mourning stick, walking to the front of the funeral procession and leading the entire procession.

However, although the spirit tablet was held by Qi Yuli, Qi Yuye and Qi Yuchang walked side by side with Qi Yuli, one on the left and one on the right, and were unwilling to fall behind even a step.

As if this could highlight their status.

General Qi, the head of the Qi family, did not say a word when he saw this situation. Qi Wushuang, who was following behind Qi Yuli and the other two, pretended not to see it.

Ye Wuwei followed Qi Wushuang.

Normally, Ye Wuwei couldn't move so far forward, but Qi Wushuang asked him to stay beside him. When everyone saw Ye Wuwei covered in weapons, they pretended not to notice.

The journey there was smooth and peaceful.

After arriving at the imperial mausoleum and performing burial ceremonies such as placing the coffin and covering the earth, the emperor's funeral was considered complete.

It was already the afternoon when all these ceremonies were completed.

On the way back, Qi Yuchang took the lead with his guards, followed closely by Prime Minister Yuwen and his men.

Ye Wuwei said to Qi Wushuang, "It seems that it was Qi Yuchang who took action today."

“I guess it’s him too.

Although the second son is also reckless, Master Zhuang is a prudent person and will not act rashly unless he is absolutely sure of success."

"Prime Minister Yuwen is not serious?"

"The rise of the Yuwen clan has only a few decades of history, unlike the Zhuang clan which can be traced back hundreds of years."

Ye Wuwei understood: Prime Minister Yuwen was a nouveau riche, so it was inevitable that he would underestimate things and act rashly.

"So, there's a reason why the Zhuang family has been able to prosper for hundreds of years."

Qi Wushuang was eager for Ye Wuwei to talk to him more, so he started talking to Ye Wuwei about the history of various families.

"The Qi family first made their fortune two hundred years ago by forging weapons..."

As they talked, they came to the mountain path that Ye Wuwei had checked before.

Just as Ye Wuwei was about to remind Qi Wushuang, a group of soldiers came galloping over on horseback.

Ye Wuwei looked carefully and saw that the leader was Nie Youren.

Nie Youren came to Qi Wushuang:

"Your Highness, Captain Chu will lead some soldiers to guard the hills on both sides. She will leave after all the mourners have left. We will escort you back to Chamdo."

Ye Wuwei asked: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry after not having lunch."

Ye Wuwei and Nie Youren had spent some time in the military camp together and knew that Nie Youren had the habit of carrying food with him.

Nie Youren pulled out a meat pie from his pocket and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Ye Wuwei took the meat pie, took a bite, tore off half and handed it to Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang took it and started eating.

Chu Fuchi, Qi Cheng, and Qi Wu: What about them? Are they destined to starve?

Nie Youren grinned at Chu Fuchi and said, "My Lord, I'm sorry, I only have a meat pie."

A group of more than 200 people rode back to Chamdo City on horseback.

When they reached Yunshanping, Ye Wuwei reminded: "Everyone be careful."

Everyone perked up.

Not long after they entered the spruce forest, hundreds of crossbow arrows were shot out from the spruce forests on both sides, and the most arrows were shot at Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei.

Ye Wuwei thought to himself: It’s finally here!

When the shoe dropped, Ye Wuwei's heart settled.

As the crossbow arrows were shot, Qi Wushuang's soldiers instantly burst out with a fierce fighting spirit, and Qi Cheng and Qi Wu protected Qi Wushuang in the middle.

However, this time, he was not only protecting Qi Wushuang, but also Ye Wuwei who had always been by Qi Wushuang's side.

The crossbow arrows were blocked by the soldiers guarding the periphery, and only a few of them reached Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei.

Qi Wushuang drew his sword and blocked the arrows shot at him and Ye Wuwei.

The arrow was instantly cut into two pieces when it met Qi Wushuang's sword.

This is not something that can be achieved with iron weapons!

Ye Wuwei glanced at Qi Wushuang's sword, which should also be made of black iron like Qi Wushuang's carriage.

After several rounds of crossbow arrows, there were very few injured soldiers on Qi Wushuang's side, which also allowed Ye Wuwei to truly witness the power of the "Black Armor Army".

Before, Ye Wuwei had only heard that the Black Armor Army was invincible and could defeat ten enemies at once, and was the most elite army of the Qi Dynasty. However, only by actually seeing it could he understand why this was said.

Ye Wuwei could naturally dodge these crossbows, but he was a specially trained ace special forces soldier. But these black armored soldiers also did it.

After the crossbow arrows were fired, hundreds of people wearing black night clothes and with black cloth covering their faces jumped out from the spruce forest.

These hundreds of people attacked Qi Wushuang and his men with swords and knives.

These hundreds of men were carefully selected and all had good skills. For a moment, the Black Armored Army was at a disadvantage.

Ye Wuwei took a look at the situation and said to Qi Wu, "Protect the prince."

After saying that, Ye Wuyi rushed towards the area where the enemies were most concentrated with a bat knife in one hand and a blood spear in the other.

Close combat was originally Ye Wuwei's forte, and he had also practiced using a two-handed sword. With his left and right swords, he could almost kill a person with one blow.

It truly achieved "fast, accurate and ruthless".

Blood splattered around Ye Wuwei, staining his black suit with dark patches.

Ye Wuwei showed no hostility or cruelty when he killed people, but the more calmly he took lives one after another, the more chilling it was.

The killers fled from Ye Wuwei because they felt that Ye Wuwei's bayonet would cut their necks at the next moment.

This was also the first time that Qi Wushuang and the others saw Ye Wuwei kill someone. No one was present when Ye Wuwei killed the assassin and the emperor last time.

This sight made them feel chilled even though Ye Wuwei didn't kill them.

Such a fast knife, such a steady hand...

Qi Wushuang did not join the battle, he was watching Ye Wuwei kill people.

He never knew that a bayonet could be so effective in killing people!

Qi Wushuang's army had been fighting the Ati people for ten years, and they were accustomed to fighting on horseback, using long swords and spears.

Qi Wushuang once thought that only long swords, spears, broadswords and swords were the sharpest weapons to kill people, but now he knows that it depends on who holds the weapon.

Just like now:

Even if Qi Wushuang held the bayonet in his hands, he could not kill many people.

But once Ye Wuwei held the bayonet in his hand, he killed more people than he did with the sword.

But... if it weren't for special training, it would be impossible to kill people like Ye Wuwei.
