Chapter 437 Backstab

Sheng Wei suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in shock.

There was only a lantern in the tent, emitting a faint light, and dense crowds of people could be seen outside the tent.

He wiped the sweat from his head.

Five hundred people were surrounding him and protecting him tightly. With so many people around, was he still afraid of ghosts?

You are really scaring yourself.

Sheng Wei got up, put on his shoes, got out of bed, and prepared to go out of the tent to relieve himself.

As soon as he opened the tent, the guards standing densely outside turned back to look at him at the same time. Each of them had a dark gaze, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

He vaguely heard the guards who were farther away from him whispering, "Is what those people on the periphery saying true?"

"I don't know. I heard someone has already verified it."

“I really heard it just now.”

"Me too."

......

These guards who were talking noticed that Sheng Wei came out of the tent, but did not immediately fall silent as usual, but continued to chat casually.

Sheng Wei felt that the way these guards looked at him seemed to have changed.

He grabbed a deputy general beside him and asked: "What did you just hear?"

"Did you hear my father's voice?"

The deputy general did not dare to hide it, "We heard it, we heard the late emperor's voice, it seemed he was saying..."

Sheng Wei increased his grip a little more: "What did you say?"

The deputy general looked terrified: "He said he came to see you."

Sheng Wei was shocked. It was not a dream, but reality. He never thought that a fifty-year-old man with no one to rely on could survive after being chased and forced to jump into the sea.

Where does he get the military strength to fight against me?

Countless questions flashed through my mind.

The more Sheng Wei thought about it, the angrier he became. He was actually scared to the point of breaking into a sweat by the voice of an old man.

A lieutenant, encouraged by his companions, boldly asked, "Your Highness, will reinforcements come? Can supplies still be delivered?"

This question made Sheng Wei even more annoyed. The reinforcements did not arrive at the agreed time, and no one came to report the news.

Could it be that my father’s men have blocked their reinforcements?

How is this possible?

Just when Sheng Wei's thoughts were in a mess, something wrapped in cloth fell from the sky and rolled to the ground, scaring everyone.

A guard was brave enough to lift the outer cloth, revealing a human head.

Everyone gasped!

Someone recognized him: "This, this is General Luo, the leader of the reinforcements!"

"General Luo was beheaded despite his great martial arts skills. I'm afraid we have no hope..."

Sheng Wei's eyes widened when he heard this. "Who said that? There are so many of us here, and you've already started saying bad things?"

The soldier who was speaking saw that the always tyrannical eldest prince was angry, and not only did he not immediately beg for mercy, but he looked at him with a questioning look.

For the first time, Sheng Wei felt that his authority was challenged. "Someone, take this bastard who has shaken the morale of the army away and give him a flogging!"

After he gave the order, no one moved.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "The people who went to the west of the rain forest to surrender are back!"

"What the emperor said about not killing those who surrender but giving them food is true!"

"Come and take it! This is the meat bun that His Majesty sent over. It's still hot!"

The guards who were originally in a stalemate with the eldest prince immediately became agitated and rushed towards the soldier who was handing out the buns.

The people handed out meat buns while shouting slogans: "The emperor said that whoever captures the eldest prince alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted to a higher position!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned towards Sheng Wei with fierce expressions, like hungry wolves seeing a meat bun.

The high and mighty eldest prince instantly turned from a person in power into a prey of the guards present, and the encirclement sent to protect him now became his cage.

The two lieutenants who swore to be loyal to Sheng Wei drew their swords and pulled Sheng Wei to break out in the direction where there were fewer people. "Quick! Run, eldest prince!"

The right deputy general cleared a path for Sheng Wei.

At this time, there were still many soldiers who were hesitating.

As he ran, Deputy General Zuo tried to win over whoever he could. He shouted, "Those soldiers who participated in the hunt for the emperor, do you think you can really escape? There is still a way out if you follow the eldest prince! Even if you die, the eldest prince will treat your family well!"

After he finished saying this, those five hundred people who had personally participated in the hunt for the emperor joined the eldest prince's team one after another. More than fifty people fought bloody battles and temporarily protected Sheng Wei and escaped about a hundred meters away.

However, the number of people protecting Sheng Wei along the way was decreasing, and most of them were either killed or seriously injured.

Sheng Wei fled in a very embarrassing manner. He panted and said, "Didn't we dig a secret passage here to get to the snowfield when we went hunting before?"

Deputy General Zuo's eyes flashed: "I remember it now! I will take you there right away."

He ran for a while in a panic.

Sheng Wei suddenly stopped.

The deputy generals on both sides looked at Sheng Wei anxiously with puzzled expressions: "Why don't you run away, Your Highness?"

"I have no strength left. I will carry you on my back."

Sheng Wei's eyes swept across the faces of the two people, and he broke out in a cold sweat: "Is this direction west? Are we running west?"

Could it be that these two people took me away from the pursuers not because they really wanted to protect me, but because if there were too few people, there would be no one to share the credit with them?

As expected, as soon as he raised the question, the two deputy generals, who had originally looked anxious, looked at each other, and their expressions instantly became gloomy, and their expressions changed extremely quickly.

The faces of the two people in the dark night made people's backs cold.

Sheng Wei couldn't help but take a few steps back, bending down and pulling out a dagger tied to his calf from his boots.

He threatened with a sullen face: "You two have wives and children in my hands, how dare you mess with me?"

Deputy General Zuo said with a sullen face: "That is why we must capture the eldest prince alive."

Sheng Wei stepped back, and his back hit a wall of people hard.

Sheng Wei swallowed his saliva, turned around, and saw a face he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of him.

It turned out to be his father Sheng Zhixing who died in the sea!

The left and right deputy generals had not expected that Sheng Zhixing would find the eldest prince so quickly, and they immediately knelt down before Sheng Zhixing and said, "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Sheng Wei looked at Sheng Zhixing's wrinkled face, clenched the dagger in his hand, and his brain was working fast. This old man actually appeared in front of him in a dignified manner. Wasn't he just asking to be a hostage?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately wanted to strangle Sheng Zhixing with his backhand and put the dagger on Sheng Zhixing's neck.

However, the opponent saw through his move in advance, and directly tied Sheng Wei's hands behind his back, and kicked the dagger out of Sheng Wei's hand.

This smooth movement stunned the other three people present. Is this still their elderly emperor?

"This, how is this possible?"

Sheng Wei looked at Sheng Zhixing in surprise, trying to confirm whether the person opposite him was his father in his fifties.
