Chapter 1274: Duan Yu: Yuan Shu must die! 【2】 (Thanks: Love Eating Yorkshire Pudding Hong Yi)

In front of Jingjue City gate.

Lu Bu stood in the middle of the city gate, and beside him stood a petite but very graceful woman.

The woman's face was covered with a veil made of gold beads the size of rice grains. As her body swayed slightly, the gold bead veil also swayed slowly.

Except for those exquisite beautiful eyes, her true face was hidden under the veil.

Originally, Lu Bu was puffing out his chest, waiting for Duan Yu's arrival.

But when he saw Duan Yu suddenly turn around, taking the Flying Bear Cavalry and everyone else with him, Lu Bu, standing in the middle of the city gate, was completely dumbfounded.

The Queen of Jingjue, standing beside Lu Bu, turned to look at Lu Bu beside her.

"My dear, is that the general you mentioned?" the Queen of Jingjue asked.

Lu Bu nodded blankly: "Yes."

"But why did he leave?"

Lu Bu shook his head with a blank look in his eyes and said: "There should be... there should be some important matter."

The Queen of Jingjue leaned close to Lu Bu, pressed her petite body tightly against Lu Bu, and said softly: "But... what important matter could be more important than the wedding of his most fierce general?"

On the main road of the southern route of the Western Regions returning to Liangzhou.

Tens of thousands of troops had begun to prepare to set up camp.

After leaving Jingjue Kingdom, Duan Yu returned all the way to the camp that had been set up.

Not long after, Jia Xu and others also followed Duan Yu back to the camp in the city.

After several people entered the main military camp one after another, they saw Duan Yu sitting in the camp with a frosty face.

The oppressive atmosphere in the entire main military tent made several people shiver involuntarily.

This was the first time everyone had seen such a Duan Yu.

Including Jia Xu.

Before several people could ask, Duan Yu directly said a few sentences.

And the few people who heard this were all shocked.

"The Emperor has passed away."

"Crown Prince Liu Xie succeeded to the throne before the funeral."

"Wang Hunu... is dead."

Jia Xu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all widened their eyes instantly.

As for Guo Jia, who was still young and had not been in Liangzhou for long, he did not know exactly which of these was the important information.

"Commander Wang..." Jia Xu asked, full of shock: "How did Commander Wang die?"

Duan Yu did not speak immediately, but looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, go down and rest first, and prepare to return to Liangzhou with the army tomorrow."

Guo Jia was very sensible and bowed to say goodbye: "Teacher, student takes his leave."

After Guo Jia left, besides Duan Yu, only Jia Xu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu remained in the tent.

Duan Yu took a deep breath, did not hide anything, and told them one by one about Empress He's matter, Duan Liuqing's disappearance, and the cause of Wang Hunu's death.

Of course, Duan Yu could not say anything about Empress He being pregnant.

But just the content that could be explained was enough to shock them.

"Lord... are you going to turn the army back?" Jia Xu looked at Duan Yu and asked tentatively.

"Hunu followed me out of Jinyang and hasn't even married or had children yet. How can I explain this to his parents?"

"Yuan Shu must be buried with Hunu!"

"Not just Yuan Shu, but those people in Anyi City, they all must die!"

Duan Yu gritted his teeth tightly.

Duan Yu raised his head and closed his eyes slightly.

The scene of Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Liu Bai Tu, and Chen Qing'an following behind him driving the ox cart three years ago, calling him "Brother Duan" one after another, was still vivid in his mind.

Although his status was different now, he had always taken care of Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others like younger brothers.

Leaving them in the rear, besides trust, was also because he didn't want them to take risks on the battlefield often.

They were already at the age to get married and should have settled down for a while to marry and have children.

But he never thought that such an idea would actually harm Wang Hunu.

"Lord..."

Jia Xu stood up, bowed to Duan Yu, and said: "If the Lord leads troops into the Sili Colonel's jurisdiction, and now that there is no Grand General He Jin, the Lord's move..."

Duan Yu opened his eyes and looked at Jia Xu, saying: "Wenhe, I understand what you mean. You mean to say..."

"If there is no imperial edict, and I lead troops into the Sili Colonel's jurisdiction without authorization, it is tantamount to rebellion, right?"

Jia Xu nodded in silence.

This was an obvious problem.

Duan Yu was a high-ranking official and a feudal lord.

Leading troops to toss around in Liangzhou was fine, and even tossing around in the Western Regions was fine.

But if he led troops out of Liangzhou, that would not do.

That would be an attempt to rebel.

Although Liangzhou today is not what it used to be, if one really talks about rebellion...

First, one must have a legitimate reason.

Liu Hong was already dead.

The Crown Prince succeeded to the throne before the funeral.

With the Empress Dowager Dong listening to politics from behind the curtain, the Three Excellencies assisting, the Grand Tutor assisting in government, and the Han clan relatives outside, the political situation had stabilized. ===== CHAPTER 1276 =====
