Chapter 281 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 54
The second prince was furious and kicked the table away. "What did you say? I was asked to hand over the power to defend the city that I had worked so hard to obtain to them, and they still defeated me? Do you know that it has been decades since we broke through Yanguan Pass for the first time? This has always been the wish of our people. Are you looking for death?"

Liu Zong dodged and bowed his head, saying, "Prince, have you forgotten what is most important to you now? To become the crown prince."

The second prince was stunned.

Liu Zong continued, "But now the king has too many sons. You can only become the final winner if you make them completely disliked by the king, lose the city you conquered with great difficulty, and lose the qualification to inherit the throne. And this city will be the same even if you take it back by then."

The second prince was unhappy: "I can't even beat Liu Jing now, how can you guarantee that you can win by then?"

Liu Zong was embarrassed: "I saw that you used a small trick to force the ministers of the Great Zhou to work for you, so I secretly sent people there. According to the current progress, they must have approached Liu Jing's side... I acted on my own initiative, please don't blame me, Prince."

The second prince was stunned: "You really have Central Plains blood, and you know how to plot."

Liu Zong just smiled and said, "Although we can use this person to find out Liu Jing's strategy and win the battle, the princes are really a huge threat. We might as well take this opportunity to trick them into losing the support of the people. After the plan succeeds, we will use this person to recapture the city and force the emperor of the Central Plains to kneel down and submit to you!"

The second prince was so excited by his description that his blood boiled. He patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say! But if you dare to lie to me, do you know the consequences?"

Liu Zong bowed his head and said: "Tomorrow, I will let the eldest prince's people win a game."

The second prince raised his eyebrows and laughed: "If this plan succeeds, I will become the crown prince, and you will have made an invaluable contribution!"

After pacifying the second prince, Liu Zong walked out of the tent. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He walked towards his own tent and said to a servant who was passing by carrying a wooden barrel, "Pass the message back." The servant nodded slightly, and the two passed each other.

When Liu Jing received the secret letter, a look of joy flashed across his face, 'Second brother has successfully gained the trust of the second prince. With second brother around, there is nothing to be afraid of the next few princes.' At this time, a soldier came to report that several generals from the capital came to see him again. He restrained his smile, because he saw that he defeated the Huns, and those people came to take credit for it.

"Let them in." He said. After all, his second brother said that he would lose a game tomorrow. Since these people want to steal the credit, let them come.

The next day, when the two armies were at war, Da Zhou replaced its general, who was ambitious and wanted to win the battle and take the credit.

However, he was beaten badly by the opposing prince and fled in defeat.

Several generals who were ready to fight and take credit for Liu Jing's victory were stunned. No, Liu Jing fought so easily, why did they lose again? Is there a spy in the army?
There was mockery in Liu Jing's eyes. He didn't do anything. It was just that they were too useless.

The Huns had been trying to take control of the Central Plains for years, and had already figured out the combat styles of most of the generals in the court. In the past, they were simply unable to defeat his father and brothers, so they had to resort to sneak attacks. When his father and his elder and second brothers were killed, the Huns were not afraid at all.

The Great Zhou lost several cities in the previous few times. Even though Ling Rui was afraid that the second prince would spread the news, their own lack of ability was the biggest reason for their failure.

He had the Huns' fighting habits taught to him by his second brother, and no one in the Huns understood him, so he would naturally win.

The second prince was satisfied to see that the eldest prince had won. It seemed that Gelesi had really planted people among the Central Plains people. So when the eldest prince came triumphantly to force him to hand over the right to defend the city, he handed it over, and then sneered and waited for the eldest prince and his men to be defeated.

The soldiers in the Central Plains started to make a fuss, calling for Liu Jing to come back.

The generals were all hesitant. Having seen the previous example of someone trying to steal the credit, they were now afraid that if they went up, they would be defeated. Not only would they not get any credit, but they might even be demoted by His Majesty when the news was reported back to the capital.

But some people refused to believe in it and insisted on trying, and then they lost again. The army was panicked, and the soldiers in the army were increasingly dissatisfied with them. It happened that the second prince rushed to the border and said that he would take Ling Rui home to be executed. At the same time, he also brought the imperial edict of canonization, and Liu Jing became a real general! At the same time, after returning to the capital to interrogate Ling Rui, he vindicated the Liu family.

Many people had stiff expressions. They were doomed. Would Liu Jing hold a grudge against them?

The second prince personally helped Liu Jing up: "General Liu, congratulations." He looked exhausted, and his clothes were not as elegant as those of the other princes, but he smiled and was particularly approachable.

Liu Jing was slightly surprised, thanked him respectfully, and then took people to find Ling Rui.

They came to a dungeon and opened the door to see Ling Rui, who had been tortured beyond recognition. He observed the Second Prince's expression, but the other party did not say anything and just had someone take him away in a very rude manner. He then smiled and said goodbye to him, preparing to take him back to Beijing immediately.

However, after walking two steps, he stopped, turned around and said, "The Liu family is now innocent. Madam Liu and others would like to return to Beijing? Why not go with me? Of course, General, please don't misunderstand. It's just that the border is not suitable for living due to the war. You can rest assured that the Imperial Guards will protect you along the way." His expression was sincere.

Liu Jing thought for a moment and said, "Then please wait a moment, Your Highness!"

In fact, he also wanted his mother and second sister-in-law to take Xiao Mingzhu back to Beijing. There were dangers everywhere on the border. Later, he and his second brother would work together inside and outside, and someone might even try to assassinate them. If they were injured, he would never forgive himself.

The second prince readily agreed.

Lin Zhi and others were surprised when they heard Liu Jing's people ask them to return to Beijing.

Mother Liu looked stunned: "Can we go back to Beijing?"

Just as Lin Zhi was about to say something, a familiar young general handed her a letter, and she opened it and read it. After a while, she put the letter away and said, "Father and his men were wronged. Now that my third brother has become a general, the family must be vindicated. The border is too chaotic, and if we stay here, Sanlang will not be able to fight in peace. It is better to return to Beijing."

"Mom, what do you think?"

Mother Liu was stunned, and nodded after a while: "Yes, we can't hold Jing'er back, let's go back!"

When she heard that she was following the Second Prince back to the capital, she left immediately and began to pack up her things, leaving behind all the unusable things, but most of them contained everything she had after Liu Mingzhu was born.

After everything was packed up and loaded onto the carriage, Zhang He drove the group to the Second Prince.

Liu Jing was there too. He explained the situation to them and then looked at Lin Zhi: "Sister-in-law, there is one more thing. Please help me bring someone back to Beijing."

Just as Lin Zhi was about to ask, he asked someone to bring a woman wearing a veil.

she:"……"

At this time, the carriage was already following behind the Second Prince's team, ready to set off. He got on the carriage without asking any further questions.
