The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Wu Ke nodded secretly.

Wasn't it because my father blindly trusted my second uncle that he tolerated it? Later, he was easily murdered because he was not wary of the soldiers of the Hua family army.

Otherwise, with my father's skills, it would not be so easy for someone to succeed.

Hua Rongyu opened her mouth but ultimately did not refute.

But in his heart he was still unwilling to believe that his second brother would do such a rebellious thing.

After taking a look at Hua Rongyu's expression, Hua Wu Ke knew what he was thinking.

Hua Wu Ke sighed silently in his heart.

It seems that my father is more difficult to convince than my grandfather to get rid of Hua Jingqian.

Hua Zhukong gave Hua Rongyu some instructions for a while.

Let him put the overall situation first and not trust others easily.

Then we started discussing how to respond.

"Since the prince did not intercept the letter but let it pass to the Northern Kingdom, then we will use their trick to catch the Northern Kingdom off guard!"

Hua Zhukong spoke.

Putting Hua Jingqian aside, Hua Rongyu's mind became clear.

He wondered how the North would use this information.

Hua Rongyu spoke:

"The Northern Kingdom has not yet stored enough food and grass, so I don't think it will invade on a large scale."

Ye Buhuo nodded, glanced at Hua Wuke, and added:

"According to what is written here, General Hua will lead a group of people passing by this hillside tomorrow. It is very likely that the Northern Kingdom will send a small group of people to ambush General Hua."

Hua Zhukong is now the acting lord of Beimo Pass. He takes people out for patrols from time to time. There are often bandits outside the pass harassing the people of Beimo Pass, and Hua Zhukong will go personally to clear them out.

Tomorrow is the day that Hua Zhukong will conduct an inspection according to the established route.

Hua Zhukong nodded, thinking that Ye Buhuo's guess made sense.

Hua Rongyu was surprised to hear that the person that Beiguo was going to ambush was Hua Zhukong.

He couldn't sit still anymore and said hurriedly.

"Father, I will go for you tomorrow."

After glaring at his son who always failed to act when it came to his family, Hua Zhukong said:

"Do you think he is a fool? If he is not the right person, wouldn't he doubt the authenticity of the letter and still make a move?"

"But……"

Hua Rongyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Hua Zhukong.

"It's settled. I will go out of the city for inspection tomorrow as planned."

Ye Buhuo took over the conversation.

"I will lead people to secretly ambush the people of the Northern Kingdom. General Hua, don't worry."

"I'd better lead the troops to support father myself."

"General Hua is usually in the military camp. If he doesn't show up today, it will probably arouse suspicion."

Day two.

After breakfast, Hua Zhukong prepared to take his men out of the city.

"Manager Xue, Rui'er will be handed over to you today."

Hua Zhukong gave instructions to the housekeeper before leaving.

Manager Xue nodded in agreement.

"I will urge the young city lord to complete the task. You can go with peace of mind."

Hua Zhukong glanced at Manager Xue, said nothing more, put on his armor, and went out.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Hua Wu Ke watched his grandfather swiftly climb onto the horse, shouting "Go!" and waving the whip.

The horse started running, and in a few breaths, it disappeared.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke was still looking at him, there was worry in his eyes.

Ye Buhuo, who was standing beside her, gently held her hand and said solemnly:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to General Hua."

Hearing this, Hua Wu Ke turned his head and looked at him.

"Nothing can happen to you."

Ye Buhuo couldn't help but hold the hand of the tender girl in his hand, and replied with a smile:

"Well, I'll be fine."

After saying that, Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi rode away on their horses.

Manager Xue saw Hua Wu Ke still standing at the door from afar and couldn't help but walk over to remind him.

"Miss Hua, it's cold, please come in."

Hua Wu Ke turned his head and saw that it was Manager Xue. He looked at him intently.

Hua Wu Ke asked casually, "Manager Xue, do you think Grandfather will return safely?"

Manager Xue froze for a moment, then replied:

"The acting city lord is blessed by heaven and will be safe and sound."

Hua Wu Ke curled his lips and smiled.

"That makes sense."

After watching Hua Wu Ke return to the room, Manager Xue stood there in a daze for a while and then left.

At this time, Ye Buhuo had already gone to the Xuantie Camp and picked out twenty Jingwei.

The group took a small path, avoided sight, and headed towards Huazhukong.

Hua Zhukong inspected the border villages carefully as usual.

Not finding anything unusual, Hua Zhukong rode his horse through the village and came to the farmland outside the village.

It's winter.

The cultivated fields were covered with heavy snow, and merged with the hillsides into a vast expanse of white.

Hua Zhukong rode his horse and slowly walked into the farmland.

It didn't take long to reach the center.

"call out!"

An arrow came flying through the air.

Hua Zhukong picked up the knife and swung it, cutting the arrow in half.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the people who were ambushing on the hillside no longer hid.

"Charge! Follow me and take down Hua Zhukong's head!"

Jude raised the big knife in his right hand high, shouted and rode straight towards Huazhukong.

Jude's men surrounded him from all directions.

After a while, Hua Zhukong was surrounded in the middle.

Hua Zhukong looked at the person who came and was a little surprised.

"It's you."

This man was one of the capable generals of the Northern Kingdom and led his troops to attack Beimo Pass several times.

There were two times when he almost broke through Beimo Pass.

I didn't expect that a small sneak attack would cause the Northern Kingdom to send out such a great general.

Jude looked at Hua Zhukong who was surrounded by him and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha! You didn't expect that, Hua Zhukong? Today is the day you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jude swung his sword at Hua Zhukong.

Hua Zhukong snorted coldly:

"It's still uncertain who will die today!"

Hua Zhukong raised the knife in his hand to block.

With a "clang!" sound, the two knives collided.

The moment the two looked at each other, they retracted their knives at the same time.

Then they attacked again and became entangled.

Juelde used a long sword, Hua Zhukong used a short sword, and both of them were on horseback, so Hua Zhukong's short sword had no advantage at all.

While Hua Zhukong and Juerde were fighting, there was also chaos all around.

Although all the soldiers in the Hua family army were elite soldiers, they were no match for the one hundred people brought by Juld, which was twice as many as Hua Zhukong.

Gradually, Hua Zhukong's side fell into a disadvantage.

"ah!"

Jude widened his eyes and roared as he swung his sword again, and Hua Zhukong also swung his sword to block.

But Jude was in his prime after all, and was very strong. Hua Zhukong's mouth, which was holding the knife, was numb from the shock, and was about to be knocked off his horse by Jude.

"call out!"

In the melee, another arrow flew through the air, heading towards Jude.

Without caring about Hua Zhukong, Jude quickly turned over to resist.

He retreated so quickly that Jude was actually knocked off his horse by his own force.

With a 'bang', Jude's back hit the ground.

Before Jude could get up, Ye Buhuo had already arrived in front of him on horseback.

Seeing the sharp sword in his hand unsheathed and coming straight towards him, Jude quickly rolled on the ground and barely avoided the vital points.

But he was still stabbed in the arm by Ye Buhuo's sword.
