Chapter 2051: Chapter 33: Massacre

Wufu clearly understood that as the season transitioned into winter, if the wars dragged on without progress, it would be of no benefit to Beiyan at all. Capturing the Shu region quickly would be much better for the soldiers, as having a place to shelter from the cold is far superior to freezing outside.

From another perspective, if Beiyan were to capture the Shu region first, recruiting soldiers here would be futile, as the war would end before they arrived. It might even result in fewer sacrifices.

Therefore, she needed to activate the lines from this side, fully cooperating with Beiyan to capture all the cities in the Shu region as swiftly and with the least damage possible, avoiding greater sacrifices.

Wufu handed the token to Liu Jin, carefully instructed him, and then let him go.

Liu Jin understood the importance of the matter, took the token, and kept Li Yu behind, saying, "Master takes Young Master with him, just one Brother Xiao Qi isn’t sufficient, so I’ll leave Li Yu behind to protect Master, just in case."

Wufu didn’t refuse either, as the number of capable people around her was too small, and she was aware of her own physical condition, just an empty shell with severe blood deficiency. If a fight broke out, she wouldn’t have much chance of winning, so she didn’t dare be overconfident.

However, once Liu Jin left, it might not take long for someone to come looking.

"Go now, be careful," Wufu said.

Liu Jin bowed and left without the slightest hesitation.

...

As Wufu expected, not only her own people were searching for her, but people from Nanyue were also persistently looking. After all, despite life and death, Wufu still hadn’t been found, and they refused to believe that a heavily pregnant woman could truly vanish into thin air.

If they can’t find the living person, then at least they should find a corpse, right?

Song Cheng thought the same, but after searching all these days without a trace, he felt disheartened and frustrated.

If Wufu were dead, so be it, but if she were alive somewhere, it would be even more frustrating. She was a heavily pregnant woman who had gone through several battles and still survived. What else could a man possibly achieve?

"Young General, urgent message from the Prince," a subordinate presented a letter to Song Cheng.

An urgent message. Song Cheng took the letter, checked the seal and markings for correctness, then tore open the seal to reveal the letter inside.

Upon reading the letter, Song Cheng’s expression changed dramatically, and he stood up abruptly.

There was a change in the palace; all of Father’s offspring, whether legitimate or illegitimate, had been slaughtered, and he was summoned back immediately.

How could this happen?

Wind-Listening Pavilion, that, what is it?

Song Cheng pursed his lips; amidst his shock, there was a faint thrill. All of Father’s children had been slaughtered; does that mean he is the sole survivor?

"Round up the men, quickly return to Jiangnan," Song Cheng suppressed his excitement and stood.

"Young General, what about here?"

Song Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Don’t worry about it."

Her survival or death isn’t the most urgent issue now; Father’s urgent summons is what’s important.

Song Cheng mounted his horse with his men and headed towards Prince Wei’s current camp. However, in less than an hour, his group was blocked.

Neigh.

The startled horse let out a loud neigh, its hooves raised high.

Song Cheng firmly clutched the reins, calming the horse, and drew his sword from his waist, cautiously scanning the surroundings and shouted, "Stay alert, it’s an ambush."

The horse running at the front had its path cut by a thin line, tossing its rider off, followed immediately by arrows shooting from an unknown direction.

Song Cheng wielded his sword to cut down the incoming arrows, his eyes sharp.
