The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121: Chapter 944, Return

Wei Hong had just fallen ill, which gave Master Wang and Cao Dan a huge sigh of relief.

Although the Duke of Protectorate held a prestigious status, he ultimately did not have the authority to control Wei Hong. If Wei Hong insisted on doing something by force, the Duke couldn’t stop him.

"Now that Wei Hong is sick, we can avoid a lot of trouble," Cao Dan said with a smile, looking both happy and relieved.

Master Wang, being more meticulous and thoughtful, instinctively felt that Wei Hong’s illness was related to the Duke of Protectorate and Madam Xiao, and he once again felt relieved that it was Xiao Yeyang who had come to Xiliang.

Otherwise, given Xiliang’s current situation with internal strife and external threats, even if someone with great capability had come, if they didn’t have strong support behind them and a capable wife, they wouldn’t be able to handle such a situation.

Although Madam Xiao had not said much earlier, every word she spoke targeted Wei Hong’s vital points, forcing him to harbor concerns and finally leave in silence.

Due to the arrival of the Duke of Protectorate and Madam Xiao, some of the more restless generals also calmed down.

Master Wang looked in the direction of the Xiliao camp, hoping that Xiao Yeyang would return soon.

Perhaps the Duke of Protectorate could suppress Wei Hong for a while, but not for long; it was essential for Lord Xiao to return quickly.

Without Wei Hong’s meddling and obstruction, the combat capabilities of the soldiers were restored to their previous standards, and they won most of the battles against Xiliao.

This infuriated Yelu Kangda, who kept cursing Wei Hong as useless.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Seeing that his illness showed no signs of improving, Wei Hong’s temper worsened. Added to this, Yelu Kangda secretly sent him a letter, telling him to order the Daxia army to cease operations, or else he would reveal their collusion.

Wei Hong was both anxious and furious at this.

Once his collusion with Xiliao was exposed, both he and the Wei Family would definitely be settled by His Majesty.

"Damn it!"

"Why doesn’t that old fool, the Duke of Protectorate, just stay in Ganzhou City to enjoy his old age, instead of coming here to meddle?"

"And the Crown Princess, a woman running to a military camp full of men, is she thinking of eloping?"

Wei Hong cursed breathlessly for a while, and while he still felt somewhat clear-headed, he hastily replied to Yelu Kangda’s letter asking him to wait a bit longer.

In the past, Wei Hong would never have left his handwriting on anything, but after being ill for half a month, he was so groggy that he could not attend to so much, only considering how to placate Yelu Kangda.

Before he could finish the letter, Wei Hong felt his head growing heavier and heavier. He gritted his teeth to finish, then hastily handed the letter to a servant in the tent, and before he could even instruct who to send it with, he passed out.

On the other hand, Daohua and Gu Jian, having arrived at the military base, did not do much; their main purpose was to deter Wei Hong.

They weren’t foolish enough to provoke Wei Hong, as it would be counterproductive if he, in desperation, attacked them.

However, surveillance was still necessary, and it was personally handled by Dongli, who had the best martial skills.

Dongli had long noticed that the Xiliao were passing messages to Wei Hong, but to avoid pushing Wei Hong into a corner and harming Gu Jian and Daohua, he had not intercepted them.

However, today he could hardly restrain himself.

The reason was simple: the person going to the Xiliao camp to deliver the message was not from the Hidden Guard.

This left him speechless.

Daohua and Gu Jian were also somewhat speechless when they saw how easily Dongli obtained evidence of Wei Hong’s collusion with Yelu Kangda.

"You intercepted Wei Hong’s letter; won’t he notice?" they asked.

Dongli smiled and said, "Madam, rest assured, I didn’t kill the messenger. I just knocked him out. He lost the letter, and upon returning, he wouldn’t dare tell Wei Hong."

After reading the letter Wei Hong wrote to Yelu Kangda, Daohua snorted coldly: "It seems heaven wants to ensure his downfall!"
