The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

White dust flew around, and Ye Buhuo's vision was blurred for a moment.

In the few moments that Ye Buhuo closed his eyes, Qiu Yue had already escaped to the rear with Qiu Ye.

Seeing that the vanguard cavalry had already become the souls killed by the swords of Beimo Pass, the main force was also crushed by Hua Wujing and Ye Yi and had no power to fight back.

Qiu Yue no longer hesitated and immediately ordered a withdrawal.

After the Northern Kingdom retreated, the only ones left on the battlefield were the soldiers of Beimo Pass and the still frantic Northern Kingdom war horses.

Facing so many carefully selected war horses for the first time, Hua Wujing couldn't help but feel happy.

But looking at the horse that was still raising its hooves from time to time, he was dumbfounded again.

"This, this, this, how long will this madness last?"

Fortunately, Zhao Yi sent the antidote in time.

Mix the powder with water and let the horse drink it. Soon, the horse calmed down.

In the evening, everyone returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

Hua Rongyu told her father about the results of today's battle, and Hua Zhukong laughed heartily.

“Hahahahahahahaha, okay!”

"Without the war horses, and with the loss of more than half of our troops, I'm afraid the Northern Kingdom won't dare to approach our Night Kingdom for several years, hahahahahaha."

At this moment, everyone was sitting together having dinner, and Duan Rui was also there.

Hearing about the war horses, he couldn't help but cheer a little.

"Great! Can Rui'er go and take a look?"

Hua Wujing touched Duan Rui's head and replied with a smile:

"No problem at all!"

The dinner was a pleasant one.

After dinner, Duan Rui returned to his room to continue his homework, and the rest of the people began to discuss the affairs of Anyang City.

"Why does this Zong Wu, who is clearly from the Zongnan Kingdom, have the secret medicine of the Zongbei Kingdom?"

Hua Wujing looked at Ye Buhuo and asked puzzledly.

Ye Buhuo replied:

"It was given to him by the person behind the scenes who approached him."

As soon as Hua Rongyu heard it, he understood the key point.

The mastermind behind this must be someone related to the Northern Kingdom. The purpose of holding Ye Buhuo back is to allow the Western Kingdom to launch a surprise attack on Wucheng and Yuecheng, and also to allow the Northern Kingdom to take the opportunity to attack Beimo Pass.

"The people of the Northern Kingdom are holding the secret medicine of the Zong Bei Kingdom. It seems that the Zong Bei Kingdom has completely surrendered to the Northern Kingdom."

Ye Buhuo nodded, silently confirming Hua Rongyu's idea.

"How are Wucheng and Yuecheng?"

Hua Zhukong didn't expect that in the past few days, the two cities close to Beimo Pass had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

When he asked, his voice was filled with guilt and lament.

"Have you been able to appease the people?"

Hua Wu Ke stood up and poured a cup of tea for his grandfather, saying in a gentle voice:

"Yuecheng was not breached, and Wucheng was also taken back by the prince."

"The people have been appeased, Grandfather, don't worry."

After hearing Hua Wu Ke's words, Hua Zhukong patted her hands.

After learning that even at the last moment, Hua Wu Ke did not give up Yue Cheng and escape for his own life, but chose to stand with Yue Cheng even though he knew it was a dead end.

Hua Zhukong's eyes showed heartache and relief.

"In the battle of Yuecheng, Suisui did a great job."

"It has the style of my Hua family army!"

Speaking of Yuecheng, Hua Wuke suddenly remembered what the Lord of Yuecheng said.

"The Lord of Yue City once mentioned that when the Western Kingdom conquered Wucheng City, he sent people to deliver letters to Anyang City and Beimo Pass."

"But not only did I not receive a reply, even the person who sent the letter did not return to Yuecheng."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Hua Wu Ke finished speaking, Hua Rong Yu slammed the table.

"How ridiculous! I thought that even if someone in Beimo Pass had ulterior motives towards the Hua Family Army and the Black Iron Army, it was just an internal fight within the Ye Kingdom."

"I didn't expect that they would even dare to intercept the news that the enemy was attacking!"

Hua Wujing also felt that this was incredible, and hesitantly guessed:

"Could it be that this person is not Ye Chuji's man, but a spy from the Northern Kingdom?"

Ye Buhuo quickly rejected this conjecture.

"Everyone who joins our two armies has had their ancestral background checked. It's impossible for people from the Northern Kingdom to sneak in."

Hua Wujing also knew how strict the two armies were in selecting their personnel. His previous guess was only because he couldn't believe that Ye Chuji would be so bold.

Hearing Ye Buhuo's words, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of disbelief.

"Is Ye Chuji...crazy?"

"He is the crown prince. What good will it do him if Yeguo loses the city?"

When Hua Zhukong followed the late emperor, he also worked in the court for many years.

He understood things that Hua Rongyu and his son didn't understand as soon as he thought about it.

"Humph, if we fail to defend Beimo Pass and Yuecheng, will we still be able to return to the capital alive?"

Hua Wujing couldn't help but said:

"Are the Emperor and the Crown Prince so afraid of us? They are willing to use three Night Country fortresses in exchange for our lives."

Ye Buhuo shook his head slightly and said slowly:

"Your Majesty will not go to such lengths."

Hua Wu Ke also spoke at this time:

"The one who wants us to die at Beimo Pass is Ye Chuji."

Although Hua Rongyu was not proficient in court affairs, he had been a general for many years after all.

He also understood at this moment.

"Private soldiers."

"The prince is afraid that we will report his private army to the emperor after we return to the capital."

Hua Wujing spitted at Ye Chuji and said:

"How can such a villain be worthy of inheriting the throne!"

If Ye Chuji hadn't interfered, Yuecheng would not have been without support, causing Hua Wuke to struggle alone in Yuecheng.

When he thought of this, a cold light flashed in Ye Chuji's eyes.

"Right now, the most important thing is to find this spy."

Hua Rongyu also nodded with a cold face, then sighed again.

"This person has been able to hide for so long, so he will not make any moves easily."

"This time, he wanted to kill us because of the invasion from the North Country. Next time, I don't know when we can wait for him to show his true colors."

Ye Buhuo curled his lips, sneered and said:

"Besides our lives, there is another thing."

"Ye Chuji will definitely be interested!"

Hua Wu Ke seemed to have thought of something, and in an instant, she understood what Ye Buhuo was talking about.

She looked at Ye Buhuo and said:

"iron ore!"

I didn't expect Hua Wu Ke could express his thoughts so quickly.

Ye Buhuo raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"Ye Chuji wants to raise troops, so food and weapons are essential."

"Food can be purchased secretly, but weapons cannot. So he can only mine iron ore privately to make his own weapons."

The last time Hua Wu Ke and Ye Chu Ji went together to track down the whereabouts of grain distributed by the court, they accidentally destroyed the iron mine in Dongshantou.

If he gets news about the iron mine again, he will definitely take action again!

On the second day, Ye Buhuo came to the military camp as usual.

In the main tent, the generals of the two armies gathered together to discuss matters.

Suddenly, Hua Wujing's complaining voice sounded.

"Tsk, when will the imperial court send us iron stones?"
