Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 238

Shen Wei rode alone, galloping swiftly towards them. When he got close, he reined in his horse and stood tall in everyone's sight, as imposing as a deep pool and a towering mountain.

"Marshal Shen!"

The Shen family army erupted in cheers in an instant!

"Marshal Shen, you weren't dead after all!"

"Why are you only getting back now!"

"We dream of you coming back!..."

The soldiers of Shen's army were not well informed on the battlefield. They only knew that Shen Wei had been defeated and disappeared last year and was presumed dead. They did not know that Shen Wei had been found alive and had even been to Kyoto.

Overjoyed, they forgot everything and surged toward Shen Wei like a tidal wave!

From the highest-ranking generals to the lowest-ranking cooks, everyone wept with joy.

These tough men, who had never shed a tear but only a drop of blood, were now weeping uncontrollably, some even wailing and sobbing uncontrollably.

Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Wei's eyes were also red and his voice was choked with sobs.

"I've let my brothers down..."

Chu Tianming watched this scene from a distance, both shocked and furious, his face turning extremely ugly.

How did Shen Wei end up here!

He's already lost his marshal position and is just a commoner now, what else does he want to do!

Chu Tianming stepped forward and said coldly, "Mr. Shen, because of your misjudgment, 30,000 Bei Yi troops were wiped out in Fei Chi Valley. His Majesty was magnanimous and did not punish you. Now you are no longer the Marshal of Bei Yi, so please do not disturb the morale of the army here!"

Shen Wei looked at him, his eyes filled with disgust and contempt. The deep-seated hatred seemed to have materialized, and he wished he could tear the person in front of him to pieces.

This bastard colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, causing the deaths of 30,000 Shen family soldiers, and he still dares to put on airs here!

No matter how hateful the people of Western Qi are, they are no match for the traitors of the Chu family, who sold out their country for personal gain and are utterly shameless!

Shen Wei sneered: "The Western Qi army is about to reach Luzhou. General Chu is not leading his troops to defend the city, but instead he is moving the army elsewhere. What is his intention? ... I am not a soldier, just an ordinary citizen. I can ask you, can't I?"

Chu Tianming's expression stiffened slightly, then he said coldly, "Ask away, but I have no obligation to answer you. I have my own plans, and these are military secrets. How could a commoner like you possibly find out?"

Shen Wei scoffed: "You have your own plan? I think your plan is to deliberately transfer the troops away so that you can hand over Luzhou to Western Qi, right?"

Chu Tianming felt a chill run down his spine, but his face contorted with rage: "Insolence! What nonsense are you spouting! If you continue to spread rumors and sow discord here, even if you weren't a soldier, I could still kill you on the spot!"

Shen Wei was not intimidated at all: "Since you say I'm talking nonsense, then you should give me a reason! Look at how many brothers here have objections to your orders? As the acting marshal, your decisions must be convincing to the people, otherwise how can the brothers unite to fight the enemy?"

The soldiers of Shen's army echoed, "Yes, General Chu has not explained why he wants us to abandon Luzhou and go to another place. We really can't accept this!"

Chu Tianming was starting to panic, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He barked fiercely, but his voice betrayed his fear: "I don't need your obedience, you just need to follow orders! I am now the Marshal of Bei Yi, my words are law, and any of you who dare to disobey will be executed according to military law! Don't you all want to live?"

Shen Wei retorted sharply: "Your so-called military order defies common sense and is clearly abnormal. If you cannot explain it clearly, then it's no wonder we believe you have betrayed your country and colluded with the enemy, deliberately handing over Luzhou to Western Qi!"

The moment the words "treason and collusion with the enemy" were uttered, the army was in an uproar and a commotion broke out.

Chu Tianming was shocked when Shen Wei exposed him in public, and at that moment he couldn't care less about anything else.

If we don't kill Shen Wei right here and now, it might ruin his plans!

He immediately turned around and ordered sternly, "Men, kill this treacherous scoundrel who is spreading heresy!"
