Yu Wenzheng never imagined until his death that the person who took his life in the end was Wu Zixu.

Why does he trust Wu Zixu?Even the most important things are willing to be left to Wu Zixu, and he is even willing to let Wu Zixu take charge of a group of soldiers of the Wu family.

However, Wu Zixu betrayed his trust!

At such a critical moment, Wu Zixu actually drew his sword on himself!

"Why!" Yu Wenzheng's mouth welled up with large mouthfuls of blood. He raised his head and crawled towards Wu Zixu no matter how painful he was.

"Why?" He murmured, "You and I are related by blood! Why... why do you want to kill me?"

"Have you already defected to him?" Yu Wenzheng stared feebly in the direction of Yu Wenxu, and then fixed his gaze on Wu Zixu.

Hearing this, Wu Zixu sneered.

"A stupid person like you is not worthy of being the king!" Wu Zixu said in a deep voice, "If you were the king, then no merchants from the Huns would ever set foot again!"

Yu Wenzheng raised his head in surprise, but he no longer had the strength to finish all the questions.

He tightly grasped the hem of Wu Zixu's clothes. He no longer had the strength to ask the questions in his heart. He collapsed weakly on the ground, with no breath in his nose.

"The fourth prince is dead!"

"The fourth prince was killed by Wu Zixu!"

Such shocking news caused great shock as soon as it came out.

No one thought that the person who killed Yu Wenzheng in the end would be Wu Zixu!

"Did Mr. Wu betray the fourth prince?"

"He must have been bribed by the eldest prince!"

Yu Wenzheng's confidants became red-eyed and attacked Wu Zixu like crazy.

However, for Yu Wenxu, this is a wonderful opportunity.

He made a quick decision: "Kill these people!"

Once Yu Wenzheng dies, these little minions will have nothing to fear!

Yelu Han also reacted at this time. He immediately stopped several people who were about to stab Yu Wenxu with his sword, and then strode towards the most powerful people with his sword in hand.

The East Palace was in chaos, and only Yu Wenzheng's original confidants were left struggling. No one expected that Wu Zixu would suddenly rebel, and in the eyes of the Wu family, Wu Zixu had defected to Yu Wenxu, so, They all stopped moving.

When Wu Zixu saw this scene, a sarcastic look flashed across his eyes.

Several of Yu Wenzheng's close associates soon died at the hands of Yu Wenxu. The East Hall was full of corpses, and blood flowed all over the East Hall.

Wu Zixu stood in front of Yu Wenzheng's body, his eyes lowered, and others could not see clearly his expression at this moment.

Yu Wenxu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yelu Han.

Yeluhan was still extremely wary of Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu was also a well-known dandy in the royal city at the beginning, but somehow, after a trip to the south of the Yangtze River in Chu State, his temperament changed. From a dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, he turned into a brave and strategist who is in charge of the Wu family. people.

It can be said that the Wu family's ability to secure its position among the four great nobles of the Huns was entirely due to Wu Zixu.

Logically speaking, Wu Zixu should be loyal to Yu Wenzheng. After all, Yu Wenzheng has the blood of the Wu family flowing in his body. However, Wu Zixu's behavior today is really weird.

Yeluhan waved to the people around him, and they tried to surround Wu Zixu.

However, Wu Zixu sneered: "Do you think all my Wu family are dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards of the Wu family quickly formed a formation and surrounded Yu Wenxu and Yeluhan.

Even though the guards of the Yelu family were still there, the faces of the Wu family were full of murderous intent, and their aura was far higher than theirs.

Seeing this, Yelu Han's eyes became colder: "What do you want to do?"

"I should ask General Yelu this." Wu Zixu asked, "What do you want to do? Do you want to kill me? Aren't the gifts I gave you for surrender not enough?"

In an instant, Yu Wenxu's eyes lit up: "Surrender?"

Wu Zixu nodded heavily. Under Yu Wenxu's gaze, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I have admired Khan for a long time! I am willing to do my best for Khan!"

"Okay, okay!" Yu Wenxu laughed a few times, having already forgotten his caution. He smiled and walked towards Wu Zixu.

He has powerful generals like Yelu Han, but he only lacks civil servants like Wu Zixu!

No matter how powerful the generals are, they are still not as good at governing the country as the civil servants!Look at the group of corrupt civil servants in the Chu State. Even though the previous emperors of the Chu State were so cowardly, they were still able to run the Chu State.

Yu Wenxu's eyes became more and more excited as he stared at Wu Zixu, wishing he could tell the world now that Wu Zixu was his subordinate!

"Wait a minute!" Yeluhan stepped forward quickly, moving faster than Yu Wenxu.

He turned his back to Yu Wenxu, stared at Wu Zixu with his eyes, and said word by word: "Khan! Wu Zixu is not trustworthy yet! Why don't we detain him first and wait for interrogation before making a decision!"

Wu Zixu is indeed powerful. It is precisely because of his power that Yelu Han will not believe that he is willing to join Yu Wenxu.

To be fair, Yu Wenxu is not a wise king. He is headstrong and suspicious by nature. A master like Wu Zixu who plays with people's hearts will not fail to know that Yu Wenzheng is easier to control than Yu Wenxu.

If Wu Zixu followed Yu Wenzheng, he would be able to control the entire Huns. But did he defect to Yu Wenxu because he was jealous of Yu Wenxu?

Yelu Han's eyes were full of doubts, but as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zixu sneered: "Is it possible that General Yelu is worried that my existence will threaten your Yelu clan's status as one person below ten thousand people?"

Hearing this, cold sweat instantly flowed from Yeluhan's back.

"I never meant this!" Yeluhan knelt on the ground, not daring to look directly at Yu Wenxu.

However, as early as when he stepped in front of Yu Wenxu, Yu Wenxu was dissatisfied with Yeluhan in his heart.

What he hates most is people who overstep their bounds!

Especially since Yelu Han was his uncle, he trusted Yelu Han but was also suspicious of Yelu Han, fearing that he would fall into the footsteps of Xian Khan.

Yu Wenxu's face was so ugly that he could hardly hold it together. He forced a smile at Ye Luhan and said in a very stiff voice: "How could I doubt my uncle?"

"Uncle, get up!" Yu Wenxu said, but his feet did not move at all.

Obviously, he is not as careless as he appears.

Yeluhan's lips tightened into a straight line, and he glared at Wu Zixu with vicious eyes.

However, in front of Yu Wenxu, Yeluhan's every move was magnified, and by doing so, he confirmed the fact that he was afraid of Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu's expression was calm. Even in such a situation, he still straightened his back: "The reason why I am willing to take Yu Wenzheng's head as a gift to the Khan is because I feel that the Khan is the destiny of the Huns. The one who has returned!”

Hearing this, the anger on Yu Wenxu's face dissipated a lot.

As expected of a civil servant, Yu Wenxu thought to himself, what he said sounded nice.

Wu Zixu lowered his head and pretended to be aggrieved: "I just didn't expect General Yelu to be so narrow-minded. No matter what my status is, since I am willing to serve as the leader of the Khan, General Yelu should treat me well!" We are all for your great cause, Khan!”

Yu Wenxu's face was calm, and he fully agreed with everything Wu Zixu said.

After Wu Zixu finished speaking, he glanced at Yeluhan: "Uncle, I know you have prejudices against Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu has already given such a big gift, and we shouldn't chill his heart."

"Your Majesty..." Yeluhan was about to argue, but when he touched the coldness in Yu Wenxu's eyes, he had to hold back the words.

No matter what, he should never say anything that disagrees with Yu Wenxu.

However, he knew in his heart that when he really wanted to do it, it would be extremely painful.

Wu Zixu is ambitious and not honest at all. If he betrays Yu Wenzheng today, he can betray Yu Wenxu tomorrow!

However, when he looked up and saw the excitement on Yu Wenxu's face, he swallowed all the thoughts of persuasion in his heart.

Trying to persuade Yu Wenxu at this time would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

He smiled bitterly and lowered his head.

Yeluhan fell silent, and the others did not dare to speak out. They could only watch as Wu Zixu became the most trusted civil servant around Yu Wenxu.

The chaos in the royal city seemed to have calmed down from the moment Yuwen Zheng died.

With Wu Zixu mediating the situation, soon, the salt bought from Xie Yan was also transported to the front line one by one. However, the battle situation on the front line was never clear. The Xiongnu only had 3 troops, and 1 people were trapped in the After reaching the front line, the remaining [-] people were led by Yelu Han to protect Yu Wenxu's safety.

The drizzle of light rain slowly fell along the eaves. Looking at the dust splashed by the raindrops on the street, Gu Ning opened the window, and the dull air in the house was instantly taken out.

She leaned against the window and looked at Xie Yan with a smile: "I have only been here for ten days, but what happened in these ten days gave me the illusion that I have been here for many years."

Xie Yan's eyes were soft and always fell on Gu Ning.

The morning light shone slightly on the top of Gu Ning's head. Gu Ning's body seemed to be covered with a golden circle, like a fairy about to ride on the wind at this moment.

Xie Yan subconsciously reached out and squeezed Gu Ning's hand tightly.

"It's almost time." Xie Yan gently rubbed the side of Gu Ning's cheek and said warmly, "In a while, we can return to Beijing."

"Wu Zixu was placed next to Yu Wenxu by you, will it really not arouse Yu Wenxu's suspicion?" Gu Ning raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yan.

It was only last night that she learned that Wu Zixu actually killed Yu Wenzheng and took Yu Wenzheng's head as a gift to Yu Wenxu.

"I heard that Yu Wenxu is suspicious by nature."

"He is suspicious and arrogant by nature."

When Yu Wenxu was mentioned, sarcasm flashed in Xie Yan's eyes.

"In his eyes, civil servants are not a threat. Only when Yelu Han is with him can he be suspicious of him."

"What's more, he is the only one left in the Xiongnu royal family. In this case, who can Wu Zixu turn to?"

After Xie Yan said this, he took Gu Ning out of the window and advised: "The rain is cold, be careful of hurting your body."

Gu Ning snorted lightly and followed Xie Yan obediently to sit aside.

Her eyes flickered slightly: "Yelu Han is his biological uncle. Without Yelu Han, how could he be in his current position?"

"Yelühan can help him become a khan, and naturally he has the ability to pull him down from the position of khan."

"Just like Yelu Han was against Xian Khan, Yelu Han has always been a huge threat to Yu Wenxu. As expected, he will start to take action."

Gu Ning's eyes widened in surprise: "Kill Yelu Han? Now the Xiongnu army is supported by Yelu Han alone."

The Huyan clan has been completely abandoned by Yu Wenxu. Yu Wenxu had not caught the clue, otherwise he would have eradicated the Huyan clan long ago. The only general he can trust now is Yelu Han.

If Yeluhan was killed, wouldn't Yu Wenxu take the initiative to throw the fat piece of Huns into their mouths?

"It should be other means." Xie Yan shook his head, "He is not stupid enough yet."

"However, there is a complete gap between him and Yelu Han, leaving Yuwen Tuo with an opportunity." When Xie Yan said this, the coldness in his eyes emerged inch by inch.

When Gu Ning heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, then he leaned into Xie Yan's ear and whispered: "Then can we use this opportunity to catch them all?"

"Almost." Xie Yan looked out the window.

The light rain had stopped long ago, and the sun had completely pushed away the clouds and mist, illuminating the entire royal city, just like the situation at this time.
