I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

152 Accusation

The scouts Pei Qian had arranged quickly sent back news that they had really discovered traces of the northern barbarians disguised as mountain bandits!

Of course, this wasn’t the greatest gain!

The greatest gain was that these northern barbarians actually had a stronghold in the northern region since long ago, and the stronghold they were hiding in was the bandit nest where the bandits were now very rampant in the northern region!

Previously, when Pei Qian saw the report that was submitted to the capital, he was a little puzzled. He couldn’t understand why the mountain bandits in the north were so rampant, so much so that the Northern Battlefront Army had been encircling them for years without any results.

Now that he heard the scout’s report, he finally understood!

These mountain bandits were powerful because they weren’t bandits at all. They were a group of northern barbarians disguised as mountain bandits! Moreover, with the continuous support of the northern barbarians, they naturally had a strong army. With the Northern Battlefront Army’s current ability, it was naturally impossible to destroy them!

“It just so happens that we found their nest this time. We might as well capture them all in one go!”

Pei Qian looked at the map on the table and confirmed the location according to the scout’s report. “It seems that they’re quite close to us.”

“I’ll set off tonight.” Lu Ze’s gaze landed on the same spot on the map. “If nothing goes wrong, we can trap them for at least two days this time. A portion of the wolf pack surrounding us should be exhausted by now.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you guard your wife!” Pei Qian looked up at Lu Ze and said before he could say anything else.

“At that time, even if something happens to me, I won’t let anything happen to your wife!”

“Thank you, Mr. Pei.” Lu Ze glanced at Pei Qian and left without saying anything else.

Pei Qian wanted to give Lu Ze a soft armor.

However, Lu Ze refused. There were more than 20 people in their group, and they were all wearing ordinary clothes. They rode out of the camp under the cover of the night with a few flatbed carriages filled with corpses.

Lin Suisui wanted to send him off, but Lu Ze stopped her.

“It’s not a big deal. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll probably be able to return to the camp tomorrow.” Lu Ze reached out and tidied Lin Suisui’s hair. His voice was very gentle as he coaxed, “It’s snowing outside again. It’s very cold! Stay here and rest. Perhaps you’ll see me after you wake up!”

Lin Suisui originally wanted to continue insisting, but Lu Ze’s words were reasonable.

What Lu Ze was going to do this time couldn’t be publicized. If she sent him out of the camp now, it would inevitably attract the attention of others and cause trouble for him!

Therefore, Lin Suisui nodded as Lu Ze instructed. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, instructing him to be careful.

Although the little girl’s fair fingers were only tugging at his sleeve, in Lu Ze’s opinion, it was more like she was tugging at his heart…

Lu Ze and the others left very quickly. They didn’t alarm the others in the camp, except for Gao Xuwei, who had been watching their every move in the camp.

He quickly rushed out of the tent after Lu Ze and the others left. Then, he wrapped himself in a cloak and angrily knocked open the curtain of Pei Qian’s tent.

“Pei Qian, what’s wrong with you?!” Gao Xuwei had nowhere to vent for the past two days and could only feast like a pig, so his figure actually became plumper.

Pei Qian felt as if the ground was trembling under his feet.

“What do you mean?! Uncle, what do you want to ask?!” Pei Qian put down the letter in his hand and looked up at Gao Xuwei. His attitude was no longer as polite as before.

“I saw it. Some people left the camp and ran away! Since they can leave, why can’t I?! You even took my guards away and actually said that you wanted them to deal with those northern barbarians guarding the refugee camp?!

If you take them away, who will protect me?!”

Gao Xuwei glared at Pei Qian. When he thought of what those guards had reported to him when they returned today, he felt unnerved! Even though he had always been slow to react, he still felt that something was wrong!

He felt like a frog that had been thrown into a pot by Pei Qian and was about to be cooked!

“Uncle, I’ll arrange these things! Just rest in the tent.” Pei Qian waved his hand perfunctorily and didn’t even instruct Qian He to serve tea.

He really didn’t have the time to argue with this useless person!

“I know what you’re dissatisfied about. You just think that I took away your seal and hundreds of your guards! But you have to know who I’m arranging this for!”

“Ha, could it be that all of this is for my sake?!”

Gao Xuwei was so angry that he laughed. He looked at Pei Qian with an enraged expression as he said, “Don’t talk nonsense to me. Hurry up and return my guards!

Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

“Uncle, the people who attacked the camp last night were northern barbarians, not mountain bandits! Those northern barbarians sneaked into the border and hid in our territory as mountain bandits.

They usually relied on robbing travelers and caravans that passed by!

They were a surprise force arranged by the northern barbarians!

Uncle, do you still remember that you’re the general who stabilizes the north?!

Under your watch, our escort team for the northern expedition was actually ambushed by more than a hundred northern barbarians!

“If this matter is reported to His Majesty later, do you think you can still maintain your position as the general who stabilizes the north?!”

Facing Gao Xuwei’s threat, Pei Qian didn’t panic at all. His words made Gao Xuwei, who was imposing when he came over, feel dejected and his entire back was drenched in cold sweat.

“How is this possible? How is this possible?! There must be a mistake… Yes! You’re mistaken!”

Gao Xuwei shivered. At this point, he could only refuse to admit it!

After all, he might not know anything else, but once he admitted to Pei Qian’s accusations, what awaited him wouldn’t be as simple as being stripped of his position as the general who stabilizes the north!

If things went wrong, what awaited him would be the elimination of his family!

“Mistake? Uncle, there were so many people that witnessed it. Are you telling me that all of this is a mistake?!” Pei Qian raised his hand and took a letter from the table. Then, he handed it to Gao Xuwei as he sneered disdainfully. “Then why don’t you take a look at this first and see if what’s written here is also a mistake!”
