Chapter 364: A Plot Within a Plot
After taking the letter from Yu Yu’s personal guard.
Prime Minister Huo opened the letter on the spot and read it slowly.
After reading the letter, Huo Xiang couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Sure enough, Yu Yu and Yang Qi’s thoughts were just as he and Jiang Chen had guessed.
They wanted to use this letter to awaken Prime Minister Huo's nostalgia for Prince An.
This allowed Prime Minister Huo to lead part of the Northern Army under Jiang Chen.
He turned to the Xia Kingdom and helped them to lift the siege of Liaoyuan City.
And, in order to successfully alienate Jiang Chen and Huo Xiang.
This guard also has a mission...
After seeing Prime Minister Huo finish reading the letter in his hand, his personal guards walked forward with a smile.
"General Huo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to ask of you."
"General Huo, please consider the kindness that King An showed you in the past."
"That is to say, can you spare Pan Qi's life?"
After hearing what his personal guards said, Prime Minister Huo couldn't help but frown.
It has to be said that although Huo Xiang and Jiang Chen had already guessed Yu Yu and Yang Qi's little thoughts.
But when the incident really happened, Huo Xiang couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
After all, if Jiang Chen had not anticipated this.
I'm afraid that Prime Minister Huo might have really fallen into the trap of Yu Yu and Yang Qi...
Without letting the guards wait for long, Prime Minister Huo replied with a smile.
"Since you all say so, I will do it for the sake of Prince An."
"Let this so-called General Liaocheng of yours go!"
After Huo Xiang finished speaking, he used the spear in his hand to knock Pan Qi, who was lying on the ground, away.
Pan Qi only felt that his stomach was hit by a huge force.
The whole person flew out directly, and the giant axe in his hand fell to the ground.
Seeing Pan Qi being blown away by Prime Minister Huo, the personal guard quickly dodged.
The personal guards jumped high and managed to rescue Pan Qi.
Pan Qi fell pale and powerlessly into the arms of his personal guards.
Looking at Pan Qi, who was spitting blood and had lost consciousness, a trace of anger flashed across the face of the personal guard.
But when he thought of the task Yu Yu had assigned to him, the guard hurriedly thanked Huo Xiang with a forced smile.
"Thank you, General Huo, for showing mercy. I will definitely tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
“You have never forgotten the kindness of the Yu family!”
After shouting the last word loudly, the guard quickly led the Xia army back into the city.
Looking at the figures of the personal guards and the army retreating, Prime Minister Huo smiled coldly.
It was obvious that the personal guard's words just now were deliberately shouted out to sow discord between him and Jiang Chen.
Sure enough, the troops behind Prime Minister Huo heard the words of Yu Yu's personal guard.
I couldn't help but have an idea in my mind ...
After defeating Pan Qi, Huo Xiang returned to the northern camp with his 30,000-strong army.
As soon as Huo Xiang returned to the northern border camp, he was stopped by Han Zhong and Du Mingyu.
"So you are Prime Minister Huo. It seems like it's time for us to settle the accounts from three years ago!"
"That's right. I don't know where your good fortune comes from."
"To think that the lord values you so much, tsk tsk tsk."
With Jiang Chen's instructions, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu "ridiculed" Prime Minister Huo in front of all the Northern Border soldiers.
As the two people mocked him, Huo Xiang's expression gradually became ugly.
Seeing that Prime Minister Huo was somewhat "angry", Li Yuanyi on the side also stood up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm talking to General Huo."
"That's a good idea you came up with. I'm afraid you've been under my lord's command for the past three years."
"Just waiting for this opportunity today, right?"
Facing Li Yuanyi's questioning, Huo Xiang gritted his teeth "angrily".
He stared at Li Yuanyi fiercely and retorted.
"Stop spitting bloody words here. I will never do anything to betray the Marquis!"
In order to make the scene more realistic, Prime Minister Huo simply stopped calling Jiang Chen "Lord".
"I am slandering you, so please explain it to me, General Huo."
"You could have killed that enemy general just now and made another contribution to your lord."
"Why did you just let him go back in the end?"
When Li Yuanyi asked this question, Prime Minister Huo was suddenly speechless.
Just as the four generals were about to start fighting, a voice rang out, interrupting their argument.
"That's enough, you guys!"
"What's the point of making so much noise here?"
"General Huo has made such a great contribution to me, but you are just looking for trouble here."
The four of them turned around and saw that it was Jiang Chen who had arrived "in time".
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the four of them bowed and saluted Jiang Chen.
"We are here to see you, sir. Why are you here?"
"Prime Minister Huo, please pay your respects to the Marquis. The Marquis, what are you doing..."
"You guys are making so much noise about why I'm here that I can hear you even from my position in the central camp."
Without waiting for Prime Minister Huo to finish his question, Jiang Chen coldly interrupted them.
"Whether General Huo has betrayed me, I have my own judgment in my heart."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Huo Xiang, and continued to speak to him.
"Prime Minister Huo, you did a good job today, but ..."
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Huo Lian bowed quickly, clasped his hands and said.
"My Lord, if you have anything to say, you can leave it to me."
"I will definitely do my best to complete it!"
"It's nothing, but I may have to take back your military power first."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned around and returned to the central military tent.
Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Huo Xiang's face instantly became gloomy.
Han Zhong, Du Mingyu and the other two, who were standing by, watched this scene and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Brother Huo to have made such a great contribution this time."
"My lord is willing to let him take a vacation. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm so jealous ."
"Forget it, forget it, let's go, let's go back and have a drink!"
Han Zhong and the other two smiled disdainfully at Huo Xiang, then left arm in arm.
Looking at this scene, Huo Xiang stood where he was and his expression instantly turned "cold".
Then, he clenched his fists tightly.
After standing there for a while, Huo Xiang, looking very "unwilling" and lost, turned around and left.
Looking at Huo Xiang's departing back, a sentry not far away quickly turned his eyes.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the sentry took out paper and pen.
After writing something on the paper, the sentry found the general on duty and made an excuse to go to the toilet.
After running all the way out of the camp, the sentry stopped in front of a large rock.
After looking around and confirming that no one was following him.
The sentry then walked over to the big rock with confidence and lifted it up.
After putting the written letter under the big rock.
He turned around and quickly returned to the Northern Army camp.
