Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1260 Attack from three sides
"rebel?"

The two people were originally concentrating on this matter, especially Yu Mingyue, who was so focused that she was startled when she suddenly heard the voice of a third person. She turned her head and saw that Yuwen Qian had come back at some point and was slowly walking in from outside.

Yu Mingyue was sweating profusely and looked at him in fear and uncertainty: "Your Highness..."

Yuwen Cheng smiled and stood up, bowed to him, and then said: "It's a good thing that my brother is here now, so I don't have to repeat this matter to you again."

Yuwen Qian frowned slightly and looked at him solemnly: "Yan Jie, what are you going to do?"

Yu Mingyue also quickly turned around and looked at him.

rebel……

When these two words flashed through her mind just now, she didn't even dare to say it out loud, she already felt a chill penetrate her bones, and she couldn't help shivering all over.

After all, she had been in this world for too long, and she no longer dared to say some of the words that she could have used for jokes in the past. Over time, she was even disciplined to the point that she dared not think about them easily.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Cheng dared to bring it up directly.

Seeing Yuwen Qian frowning and Yu Mingyue being cautious, Yuwen Cheng laughed and said, "Brother, I want to do something big. Once this big thing is accomplished, our - no, your position as the crown prince will be completely secure, and no one will compete with you anymore."

"..."

Yuwen Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

Yu Mingyue had not yet completely recovered from the shock and panic she had just experienced. Her entire brain seemed to have been hit too hard and was still buzzing. She looked at Yu Wencheng and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Yuwen Cheng said, "Let me be frank. We cannot let my second brother go to Luoyang. That would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountains. Luoyang is so prosperous. In addition, my father promised to give him the power to be an uncrowned emperor in Luoyang. When he really grows up, he will fight back to Chang'an. What can we do to stop him?"

"..."

“So, we must eliminate this trouble forever.”

"How are you going to get rid of this trouble forever?"

"Of course we should send someone to stop him on the way and prevent him from going to Luoyang."

"But--"

"I know that there is probably no one in the world who can defeat him on the battlefield. Even if we secretly send troops to stop him, we will most likely return empty-handed."

"Then what's the point of you doing this?"

Yuwen Cheng smiled and said, "With Second Brother's personality, if he was intercepted on the way and if he found out that these people were sent by us, do you think he would be able to swallow this anger and continue to go to Luoyang obediently?"

Yu Mingyue immediately shook her head: "No, he won't. He will definitely turn around and go back to Chang'an!"

"That's right,"

Yuwen Cheng smiled and said, "Father, along with all the civil and military officials in the court, everyone knows that my second brother does not want to go to Luoyang. Imagine if he suddenly turned around and came back without any warning after leaving Chang'an, and he came back with his troops fully armed and aggressive, what do you think father would think?"

Yu Mingyue's eyes lit up: "The emperor will definitely think that the King of Qin has rebelled."

Yuwen Cheng continued to look at them with a smile: "And do you think that father will show mercy to a rebellious King of Qin?"

"...!"

Yu Mingyue gasped.

At this moment, the whole hall fell silent. Although the three people were sitting opposite each other and no one spoke at this moment, they seemed to have been hearing a rumbling sound in their ears. They didn't know whether it was the roar of thunder in the clouds above the sky or the violent heartbeat in their chests. After an unknown amount of silence, Yuwen Qian finally spoke, but his voice was unexpectedly calm.

He said, "Even if that's the case, so what?"

"Brother Emperor!"

"Prince..."

Facing the anxious expressions of both men, Yuwen Qian said calmly: "I have already said it just now, even in a battle with such a huge disparity in strength like at Hulao Pass, he can still win."

"..."

"Maybe, God is helping him."

Yu Mingyue frowned.

In the past, she would have used her firm belief as a materialist fighter to refute Yuwen Qian's words, but now, after experiencing the "resurrection of the dead", she would not believe that there were no people and things in this world that were destined.

So, when she heard what Yuwen Qian said, she hesitated.

Not only because Yuwen Ye’s success might really be God’s help to him, but what made her feel even more difficult was that if Yuwen Ye was really annoyed and turned around and rushed back to Chang’an, that would be a real big deal!
What would they use against him then?
So, she looked up at Yuwen Cheng: "What if he really comes back?"

Yuwen Cheng sneered: "Is it that easy?"

"What do you mean?"

"Father said before that he wanted him to take his trusted followers from the Prince of Qin's Palace to Luoyang, but he didn't want him to take all the Twelve Guards with him. After all, Chang'an is under the emperor's feet, so naturally more troops should be left behind. Once he makes any "movement", Chang'an can send troops immediately - and who will Father appoint to go?"

Yu Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "It can only be one of ours. Perhaps, it is you, my third brother."

"Yes."

Yuwen Cheng said: "I have also thought it through. The people we send to secretly stop him cannot take action after passing Tongguan. That would be too passive."

"..."

"Take action before he reaches Tongguan. When he is about to turn back——"

Yu Mingyue reacted quickly: "Immediately let Chu Zhengfei, the defender of Tongguan, send out troops, and then you can lead people from Chang'an over there, so that we can attack from both sides!"

Yuwen Cheng smiled and said, "More than that."

"..."

"I just said that Xiao Yuansui can be of great use."

"..."

"Let him pretend to block the Qin King's troops first, but he doesn't have to fight to the death. It's enough to let Second Brother know that we want to kill him. When he turns around and comes back, Chang'an will immediately send troops over. Chu Zhengfei and Xiao Yuansui will also send troops at the same time. At that time, it will be a three-sided attack."

Having said this, he stood up with a sense of pride, shaking his head while stretching his limbs to relax his numb arms and legs. He looked so leisurely, not being cautious and prudent in front of the Crown Prince. Yuwen Qian watched him quietly, but didn't say much. He stopped only after Yuwen Cheng was completely relaxed, turned around and said to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess with a smile: "I don't believe that he can still win under this situation!"

At this point, he stopped.

But because he was too excited, his chest heaved violently and his breathing was irregular.

Yuwen Qian looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Third brother, you really put in a lot of effort for me."
