Chapter 241: Knowing the Truth

Xue Rong didn't expect Shen Liancheng to ask about Chen Xiang's death, and he panicked for a while, but he was at a loss. [No pop-ups. 】

He wanted to tell her the truth, but he was worried that after telling the truth, according to her temperament, he would not forgive Li Ji, so that the two people who were originally in love would go to an irreparable situation. In the end, it is more people who suffer. For this, he resisted the impulse in his heart.

"With 3,000 bait fishing troops, they ran to the wrong place agreed in advance, and they were all annihilated by the Northern Qi army......"

"Running in the wrong place?" Shen Liancheng interrupted Xue Rong's words in surprise.

Xue Rong realized that he shouldn't say that. Shen Liancheng was no stranger to marching and fighting, how could she think that this was an ordinary thing?

"That's right." The words he said were so difficult to recover that Xue Rong had to pretend to be stupid, "It's really the wrong place...... Two place names, homophony, this is the wrong run! ”

"How can it be ......" is the homonym of the name, how can such a detail be ignored in such a thing as marching and fighting? Shen Liancheng never believed it, and couldn't help but look directly at Xue Rong.

Xue Rong was originally a person who was not good at lying. Being stared at by Shen Liancheng like this, he was even more nervous and sweated.

He lied.

In the previous life, as long as he lied, this was the reaction.

"Xue Gongzi, you're lying to me." Shen Liancheng's eyes were sharp, "Chen Xiang, how did he die?" ”

"I ...... I don't know. Xue Rong said, reflexively to leave.

Shen Liancheng suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his sleeve, his face was a little frightened, he didn't dare to think about it but had to think about it, and finally asked, "Is it a conspiracy?" It has nothing to do with Ji Lang, right? ”

Xue Rong felt incredulous, even scared, frightened by Shen Liancheng's conjecture.

"You're thinking too much." He looked at her, and there was a hint of advice in his words.

"Ji Lang said that you fought side by side with him on the battlefield and saved him from danger several times, which is a friend of life and death. But after coming back for so many days, you two have never moved, why? Chen Xiang's death is related to Ji Lang, yes or no? The more Shen Liancheng spoke, the more he felt that his guess was right, and his heart surged, grabbing Xue Rong's sleeve and twisting it into a ball.

"Don't ask me." Xue Rong sighed, reached out to brush away her clenched hand, and strode away.

"Go home." Shen Liancheng sat back in the sedan chair, and he was going to go back and ask Li Ji for a clear understanding.

When she returned to the Founding County Mansion and saw Li Ji, she took him to a no-man's land.

"What's wrong, Aman?" Li Ji saw that her expression was serious and a little worried.

"I ask you, and you have to answer me truthfully." Shen Liancheng's heart was beating hard, and he finally said bluntly, "How did Chen Xiang die?" Did you kill you? ”

Li Ji was stunned and asked in surprise: "Did Xue Rong tell you something?" ”

"Did you kill me?!" He didn't immediately deny it, which made Shen Liancheng take a step forward, a little excited.

Li Ji lowered his eyes and lost his words for a while.

"It's you......" Shen Liancheng was disappointed and incredulous, "It's really you?" ”

Li Ji suddenly raised his eyes, almost annoyed and angry, and grabbed Shen Liancheng's shoulders, "Why do you question me like this?" Why can't you bear to die when he dies? ”

"On the battlefield, how can you harm people?!" Shen Liancheng roared angrily, his chest rising and falling sharply. "How did you become like this...... Not only Chen Xiang, but also 3,000 soldiers! Are you still human? ”

"I'm doing what I'm told!" Li Ji blurted out, and he was also so excited that he was in a mess.

"Doing what you are told?" Shen Liancheng was shocked, "Whose order is it?" Emperor? Son of Heaven ......"

Her expression became even more terrifying.

Is it that Yu Wenlie, the Son of Heaven, wants to put Chen Xiang to death? The war is about to end, and there is a Li Ji who uses soldiers like a god, and the death of Prince Chen is dispensable, so he will be put to death?

Suddenly coming back to her senses, she calmed down, grabbed Li Ji's hands, her tone became much softer, and pleaded: "Ji Lang, tell me, what's going on?" How did the Son of Heaven force you to kill Chen Xiang? ”

Li Ji was silent, and his mind was in chaos.

"If you don't say it, then I'll go into the palace and ask." Shen Liancheng let go of him and made a gesture to leave.

"Aman......" Li Ji hurriedly called her, and finally told the truth about what happened at that time.

On the eve of the incident, the Son of Heaven summoned Li Ji, Chen Xiang, and Xue Rong to discuss several matters, and determined the plan that Chen Xiang would lead 3,000 bait troops to lure the enemy to Jiangcheng Chengshan the next day, and then Li Ji and Xue Rong would lead a large army to encircle and suppress them.

After the discussion, the Son of Heaven left Li Ji alone and once again talked about the battle plan for the next day.

Yu Wenlie said to Li Ji: "Jiangcheng has a mountain and a mountain, it is the same to say, it is not impossible for Chen Guogong to hear it wrong. You go and tell him again, it's a ride to ride the wind and waves, so that he must not make a mistake. ”

"Riding the wind and waves?" Li Ji was stunned, "Your Majesty didn't say ......"

"What Gu Wang Shicai said is to ride the wind and waves." Yu Wenlie stared at Li Ji deeply, with no meaning.

Li Ji was naturally surprised, but he seemed to understand something, so he responded: "Weichen will go and tell Chen Guogong." ”

Yu Wenlie nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder again, and told him: "Your sister is Mrs. Li, who is loved by King Lone, and your wife Aman, King Gu regards her as his own sister, her sister-in-law, and the concubine of King Lone...... Inextricably linked, the lonely king believes in you. ”

Li Ji knows that it is not faith, but containment.

The demise of Northern Qi was unstoppable, Chen Xiang's status in the army was increasing day by day, and his achievements were high, and the Son of Heaven was afraid, but there was no one to contain him, so he had a murderous intention.

Li Ji was afraid and hesitated, but why didn't he want Chen Xiang to die? In the end, he chose to "do what he was told".

Early the next morning, he and Xue Rong led the army to Chengshan, and let Chen Xiang and 3,000 bait fishing troops fight desperately in the mountains. What he didn't expect was that the Son of Heaven also sent a team of people to set fire to the oil arrows and shoot those who were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement......

When he and Xue Rong arrived with a large army, it was too late.

It was he who had evil thoughts in his heart and acted for the tiger, but the real evil ghost was not him, it was the Son of Heaven!

"It is the Son of Heaven who wants to put Chen Xiang to death." He had to make sure of this to Shen Liancheng.

"But you ......"

"I'm doing what I'm told." He interrupted her, "If I disobey the Son of Heaven, maybe I will die!" ”

Shen Liancheng shook his head, he just didn't want to listen to it anymore. The Son of Heaven is ruthless, treating the generals who are struggling to kill the enemy like that, and her Ji Lang, how can she be angry? She can't tolerate it.

But at this time, a slave came to pass the word, and the people of Zhao Temple brought the holy decree of the Son of Heaven and asked Li Ji and Shen Liancheng to receive the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the edict of the Son of Heaven said: There is now Shen Li'er, the grandson of Shen Kuo, the son of Shen Kuo, the prince of Jin, who is skilled and generous, talented and beautiful, respectful and sensitive, and has contributed to the Zhou army to destroy Qi. All etiquette is handed over to the Spring Government and the Founding County Mansion to jointly manage, and the marriage is completed on a good day. Chin this. ”
