Zhe Yu lowered his head upon hearing this.
Xu Yin coldly asked, "Who are they? Have you ever colluded with them?"
"What qualifications do I have to collude with them?" Zhe Yu suddenly raised his head, "Someone as useless as me—if you look down on me, who else would even bother?"
Xu Yin said, "Are you suggesting that these people have an even greater background than mine, is that it?"
Zhe Yu pressed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Xu Yin continued, "They were ambushed here. If they sincerely didn't want you to know, then you naturally might not know. But I heard that during the earlier fight, you went out leaning on a cane.
"General Zhe, you are a seasoned general. In the battle just now, surely you must have seen some clues?"
Zhe Yu took a deep breath, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I want to hear directly from you—who are those people? Were they the ones who brought a doctor for you and wanted to catch the assassin?"
"What if they were? What if they weren't?"
