Chapter 260 Big Fish Surfaces
A flash of surprise flashed across Song Changwei's face, and then he respectfully took the letter, put it in his arms, and said firmly.
"Please rest assured, father. Chang Wei will definitely live up to your trust."
"Go ahead,"
"Yes, father."
Song Changwei turned and left. Shangshu Zhong let out a long sigh and sat back in his chair with tired eyes.
This is the last hope of the Song Zhong family. They only hope that this letter can be delivered to Tuoba Jun before the emperor passes away. Otherwise, when the new emperor ascends the throne, what good will happen to the Zhong family?
After Song Changwei came out of the study, he first returned to his bedroom. He took out a brush and wrote the three words "Tuoba Jun" on a piece of paper, then put the paper away and held it in his hand before going out.
Within two hours, Song Qingwan received a letter from Song Changwei via carrier pigeon.
"Heh... He's really a hidden talent, it turns out to be Tuoba Jun."
After reading it, Song Qingwan calmly burned the note and thought about what to do next.
Awu was a little impatient. This was different from what they had originally guessed. They didn't expect that the opponent would be so secretive.
"Master, please let me go to the North! The prince should be informed of this matter as soon as possible!"
"Awu, go ahead and follow the messenger. Don't expose yourself."
"Yes, Master!"
After receiving the order, Awu disappeared in a flash. He did not dare to delay. This incident was beyond everyone's expectations.
Song Qingwan also had a serious look on her face, and things became even more complicated.
Tuoba Jun was just an unknown prince in the Dongyue Kingdom, without even a title. It was said that his biological mother had a very low status.
But such an inconspicuous person actually instigated Shangshu Zhong to rebel, which shows how powerful he is.
A barking dog that bites doesn't. The poisonous snakes hiding in the dark are the most poisonous.
Ajin is now fighting hard with the East Yue army in the northern border, while Tuoba Jun has already reached out to the capital. This means that the prince of East Yue who is now fighting with Zhao Huaijin in the northern border is just a person being used.
Everyone knows that to catch a thief, you must first catch the king. However, I never expected that the king was hiding so deeply.
"It's time for this battle to end."
If we continue, we will only make unnecessary sacrifices. Even if we win, what good will it be? We will only be making wedding clothes for others. The rat is already in the rice jar. If we don't get rid of it, there will be endless troubles.
Minister Zhong, we can’t keep him here!
Song Qingwan decided to cut off Tuoba Jun's hand directly, so she came to the Princess's Mansion again.
The eldest princess was thinking about whether to directly remove Minister Zhong from his position. When she heard that Song Qingwan was coming, she quickly asked Jinxin to invite her in.
"Qing Wan, you came at the right time. The Zhong family still seems to be dishonest."
"Did the princess notice it too?"
"Hmph! The people I sent to keep watch reported back that Shangshu Zhong sends a large number of letters to various officials every day. He is still trying to make a comeback."
"Princess, don't worry. At this point, no one would be stupid enough to ride on the same boat with the Zhong family again."
The eldest princess nodded and her expression eased a lot. Song Qingwan was right. When he sent a letter to someone, that person might not necessarily respond to him. So there was no need to worry too much.
"Why did Qing Wan come to see me today?"
"Princess, do you know which prince of Dongyue State the Zhong family is connected to?"
"Isn't it that Tuoba Guang? Tuoba Guang is already dead. Could there be someone else?"
"Princess, do you think Tuoba Guang is capable of great things? If he had any sense, he wouldn't be taken down so easily, and he wouldn't risk his life for a woman."
"That's true."
The eldest princess also heard something about Tuoba Guang. She never imagined that Zhao Yujun would be cuckolded in such a big way, and the one who committed adultery with the man outside was Zhong Xueying, who was determined to marry into the mansion.
It's true that things in this world are unpredictable and people's hearts are different.
Song Qingwan did not keep the secret and directly told the eldest princess the news.
When the princess heard Tuoba Jun's name, she sat up from her chair in shock and shook her head repeatedly.
"Impossible, how is this possible? How could it be him?!"
Song Qingwan felt that the eldest princess's reaction was a little strange. Although she was also quite surprised, the eldest princess's reaction seemed a bit extreme. Could it be that the two of them knew each other?
Feeling Song Qingwan's inquiring gaze, the eldest princess calmed down, straightened her clothes, sat back down, and her expression returned to calm.
"Is this information reliable? How do you know it's his?"
"To be honest, Princess, I intercepted the letter that Minister Zhong sent to Dongyue State. The recipient's name is Tuoba Jun, there is no doubt about it."
"So that's it."
The eldest princess nodded, looking thoughtful.
Song Qingwan was also very tactful and did not ask any further questions. She thought that the eldest princess had led troops to fight in the northern border in her early years, so it was normal for the two to know each other.
Although Tuoba Jun does not hold a high position, he is said to be a very smart person.
After Song Qingwan left, the eldest princess sat in her seat for a long time without coming back to her senses.
Her thoughts flew back to more than ten years ago, when he had accidentally saved an injured teenager during the march. That teenager was Tuoba Jun, the third prince of Dongyue Kingdom.
At that time, Tuoba Jun was thrown into the field with wounds all over his body, and was seen by the eldest princess who was sitting on a horse.
Tuoba Jun was wearing the clothes of the Dongyue Kingdom at the time. The princess didn't want to save him, but she stopped for some unknown reason.
Perhaps it was that harmless face, or perhaps it was her kind heart that would not allow her to stand by and watch someone die, so the princess personally carried the young man onto her horse and brought him back to the military camp.
After some treatment, Tuoba Jun finally recovered. When the princess learned the identity of the young man, she turned hostile and drew her sword and put it on Tuoba Jun's neck.
Tuoba Jun did not even blink, and kept looking at the furious female general in front of him with a smile, and said something that almost made the princess drop her jaw.
"I will marry you and go back to the Great Saint Dynasty with you. I will no longer be a prince in Dongyue."
Although the eldest princess was not married at that time, the emperor had already granted her a marriage, and she was just waiting for her to return from the war to get married.
So the princess rejected Tuoba Jun without a second thought and scolded him for being wishful thinking.
At that time, Tuoba Jun's eyes dimmed. He looked at the princess with sadness, then closed his eyes quietly, waiting for death.
But the princess just couldn't bring herself to do it. Eventually, she took back her sword and had Tuoba Jun thrown back into the border of Dongyue State. The two never met again after that.
Over the years, the eldest princess would sometimes dream of that pair of clean and clear eyes, and she would wonder what the situation would be like now if she had agreed to her proposal at that time?
Will there be someone to accompany me through this long night?
"Tuoba Jun, why is it you? Are we destined to be enemies?"
