The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

Chapter 114 Traitor! What did you do to Wan Nian?

Yu She walked slowly to the back garden of the mansion. He first dismissed the rest of the people, and then went straight to Wan Nian's bedroom. It was late at night, and Wan Nian was already resting in bed.

Upon entering, one sees a young girl in a pale yellow undergarment, hugging a blanket, fast asleep.

"Your Highness!"

Yu She called out softly twice.

Wan Nian: "Snoring~ Snoring~"

Yu She: "————"

He stepped forward helplessly and gently pushed the girl's hands, which were tightly clutching the blanket.

Wan Nian: "Snoring—snoring?"

Yu She: "————"

"Your Highness, our affair has been exposed! That traitor Dong Zhuo has come to arrest us!"

Wan Nian: "Snoring!!!"

Almost dying, Wan Nian Teng sat up abruptly from his sleep, reaching for the short sword by the bedside. His eyes were still blurry and he could barely open them. He flailing his arms and legs, muttering, "Let him come! I'll fight him to the death!"

The swordsmanship taught by the royal master, Ning has practiced for years but has never drawn his sword. Today, he will test his skills against a traitor to the nation!

Yu She: "!!!"

Seeing that she had finally woken up, Yu She quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please don't be alarmed, this is a good thing."

Liu Ning: "???"

Only then did she groggily awaken from her dream, staring blankly at Yu She before her.

Yu She hurriedly explained to her, "Tonight, the Emperor ordered the Chamberlain Liu He to flee Chang'an and intend to go to Youzhou. He requested Liu Yu to send troops to defend the Emperor."

However, Chang'an was heavily guarded, and how could he escape from Dong Zhuo's forces and informants all by himself?

It was suspected that he had foreseen this, so he stopped him outside the palace and invited him into his residence for temporary refuge.

However, I am now openly serving a traitor to the country, enduring the scorn and humiliation of all officials. Liu Shizhong refuses to believe me, his words are weak, and it is even more difficult to move his heart.

Therefore, I have come to invite Your Highness to meet with him. If you can make Liu Shizhong understand my ambition to support the emperor and my loyalty, and if we can unite as one, then I will have the opportunity to communicate with the emperor.

From now on, by working together with His Majesty from within and without, contacting loyal and righteous men in the court, and gathering those willing to die for justice, we can eliminate the traitors and accomplish our great task.

Liu Ning was first taken aback, then overjoyed!

"Attendant Liu has arrived? Good! He must know about the Emperor's brother's whereabouts. I'll introduce you two to him."

Although Liu He and his siblings were nominally ruler and subject, in the current situation where Dong Zhuo controlled the court and held the emperor hostage, they were among the few elders in the clan who could take care of them in the palace. Moreover, Liu He was a close minister of the emperor and a member of the Imperial Attendants. Their relationship was naturally very close.

Seeing that she hurriedly put on a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) over her undergarments, eager to find Liu He and ask about news from the palace, Yu She took off his crane cloak and wrapped it around her, then led her toward the side hall of the Yu residence.

Meanwhile, Liu He, who was in the side hall, had been waiting for a long time and was becoming increasingly uneasy. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, waiting for Yu She to return so that he could catch him off guard and launch a sudden attack.

Even if he sees through the murderous intent in his eyes and becomes wary, if we cannot kill this traitor, we must still splatter his blood all over him!

Finally, footsteps sounded, and to Liu He's surprise, one was light and quick while the other was steady, as if it wasn't just Yu She alone.

"Who is this person? Could they also be a member of the traitorous faction?"

Liu He knew that Yu She had seen through his plan to escape from Chang'an, and that he was now trapped in this place with little chance of survival. Therefore, he did not hesitate and simply...

When the person appears, no matter who he is, we must kill him with one sword, and destroy everything in the process!

"Uncle!"

Hearing the joyful calls in her ears, she saw the person who had come in wearing a pale yellow dress underneath a large, dark-colored crane-feather cloak, her bright eyes looking at her.

Liu Hegang's sword, which he had just drawn from its sheath, froze in his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.

He stood there, almost in disbelief, and after a long while, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, his voice trembling and his eyes almost reddening.

"Your humble servant Liu He—greet—greet Princess Wannian!"

Your Highness, you—you're still alive—no—I—His Majesty and I thought you were dead—ah!

Your humble servant has misspoke and is not aware of what you have said.

In short, it is my great fortune to see Your Highness again today, and it is also a great fortune for the Han Dynasty!

If His Majesty were to hear of your news, he would surely weep with joy.

Liu Ning looked away somewhat embarrassedly, glancing behind him, and said, "This is a long story, and it's all thanks to General Yu's help—"

Noticing Wan Nian's gaze, Liu He also looked behind him and saw Yu She, who was now only wearing a court robe, slowly walking out, nodding and smiling at him.

"Lord Liu, as I said before, we are friends, not enemies."

"Yes, yes~ Uncle, General Yu is truly a loyal and virtuous man of our Han Dynasty, you have all misunderstood him!"

Liu He: "???"

He looked at Wan Nian, who was tightly wrapped in a crane-shaped cloak, with his head slightly lowered and a faint blush on his face. Then he looked at Yu She, whose crane-shaped cloak had disappeared and who was now only wearing a court robe.

Liu He: "!!!"

"Yes, I was too excited just now and almost didn't react."

Yu She was missing a crane cloak, while Wan Nian was wearing an extra one.

Wan Nian came from the back garden of the Yu residence. Her blouse and skirt were disheveled, indicating that she had put them on in a hurry.

What else is there to say? What else needs to be said!

"A misunderstanding? Are they friends, not enemies?"

Liu He chuckled coldly, picked up the sword from the ground, and prepared to stab Yu She again.

"Traitor! What have you done to Wannian? I swear to kill you!"

Liu Ning was shocked to see this and quickly stepped between the two. "Uncle, it's a misunderstanding. General Yu is a good man. He was just protecting me in the mansion and did not do anything improper."

"Ten thousand years! Get out of the way!"

You are young and naive; you may be deceived by him.

Liu He was even more shocked and furious to see that Princess Wannian was actually going to stand up for Yu She.

"You probably don't know yet, but this scoundrel aids and abets evildoers and persecutes loyal and virtuous people!"

Loyal and righteous officials in the court, even those who would die for their principles, are often accused of treason simply because of a glance that seems amiss!

Even if it costs me my life, I will rid the world of this traitor!

No! I know!

Oh dear, Uncle, this is a long story, let me tell you—”

"You—you know?"

Liu He found it unbelievable!

He gazed at the ancient city before him as if he were looking at a stranger.

"No, where did my former Princess Wannian, who was dedicated to restoring the Han Dynasty and eliminating traitors, go?"

"Impossible! You who aid and abet evil, who wholeheartedly speaks for this traitor of a small country, must immediately return the true ten thousand years!"

"Lord Liu, please calm down and listen to me."

Yu She patted Wan Nian's hand, which was protecting him, signaling her to step aside. He then stepped forward with his sword and subdued the agitated Liu He in a few moves before letting out a sigh.

"Now the Han Dynasty is in decline, the state is weak, traitors are in power, and the court has lost its authority."

The emperor is in distress and his officials are in danger. If they do not serve the traitors with their lives, how can they bring order to the world and promote righteousness?

Are we waiting for Liu Shizhong to conspire with the emperor to escape to Chang'an, so that we can eliminate the traitor and accomplish great things?

Let alone Liu Shizhong, who probably won't even be able to escape Chang'an, even if he does escape, what then?

Liu Shijun's troops are far away in Youzhou, thousands of miles away. How can distant water quench a nearby fire?

Moreover, he has always been at odds with Gongsun Zan, whose army is eyeing him covetously; he fears he will be too preoccupied with his own survival.

Furthermore, even the ancient alliance of eighteen warlords, with hundreds of thousands of troops at their disposal, could not defend the emperor and save him; how much less so now?
