No matter whether Xiao Tieyu's speculation can be confirmed or not, as long as Haitang is still in the capital and can't escape from his palm, the coming day will be long, and he can observe slowly, everything is easy to say.

If she is let go, it will be more than just doubting her identity.

The reason why the empress kept her was to use her as a hostage to contain Ren Zhen, who controlled the battle. The escape of the hostages is equivalent to untying the reins around the neck of the wild horse, and no one dares to guarantee that Ren Zhen will not lose control and make a move that is unfavorable to the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Tieumbrella knew the stakes well, and couldn't help but change color, and subconsciously pinched the handle of the umbrella.

Haitang didn't know the danger, nodded and added: "Just now, my husband was seriously injured and unconscious. He finally told me that there was a rebellion within the Tang Army, and 100,000 people were in a hurry, and if he was not treated as soon as possible, the battle situation would definitely get out of control! ”

When Ren Zhen was dazed, he didn't have time to explain, and hurriedly said, "If anyone stands in your way, the civil strife of the Tang Army will not be able to quell." There was no head or brain, Haitang didn't understand the meaning, she could only understand that this was taking the front-line military information and threatening the court to let her go.

As for what exactly the so-called rebellion meant, she didn't know anything.

Xiao Tieyu's pupils contracted, and he was startled again, "What did you say?" There was a rebellion at the front? ”

The invasion of the Jin army alone has put the Northern Tang Dynasty in jeopardy, not to mention, there are still old royal families dormant in the north, ready to move, and now the imperial court is under the enemy's back, and it can no longer withstand any blows.

At this juncture, once the Tang Army rebelled and the morale of the army was in turmoil, it would not only make matters worse, but would also become the last straw that crushed the camel.

If what Haitang said is true, then the war situation in the south is at the most critical juncture, and someone needs to stand up to turn the tide, stabilize the situation, and prevent more troops from defecting. It seems that only Ren Zhen has enough ability and courage to take on this role.

In this way, Haitang should indeed be released to help Ren Zhen recover as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation. This is the most logical choice.

However, Xiao Tieumbrella was born in a military family, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and his determination was outstanding, and under the rapid change of mind, he quickly thought of another possibility.

Could it be, the one who rebelled was the Blowing Water Hou!

If this is the case, then Begonia's hasty escape is even more reasonable.

Xiao Tieyu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the anxious Haitang, and said: "There is a change on the front line, this matter is too much to do, and I can't be the master." You're going to come with me to face the saints! ”

When Haitang heard this, he felt distressed. She knew that she was not lying, Ren Zhen was unconscious, life and death were uncertain, she had to rush there as soon as possible, and she did not dare to delay. Ren Zhen repeatedly told her that for the sake of her own safety, she had to leave immediately.

If she goes to see the empress, the other party will definitely be the same as last time, refusing to let her go. After returning to the cage, it is too late to turn the other cheek.

This is a gamble, betting on her life to bet on whether the empress will release her.

Haitang didn't dare to compromise, and said angrily: "Lord Xiao, why are you embarrassed by a woman!" There is a change on the front line, let me go and save people, do you still need to hesitate? If the treatment is delayed and my husband encounters an accident, it will be a big deal! ”

Xiao Tieyu was unmoved, and said coldly: "Who knows, what you said is true or false?" ”

After saying all the good things, Haitang couldn't hold back her tough temper anymore, and was furious, "Suspect me of lying? You can say it! Last time, my husband was obviously poisoned, who swore and lied to me that he was safe and sound! ”

Xiao Tieyu was speechless.

He'd heard about it last time. Haitang begged to see the empress, saying that she sensed that Ren Zhen had an accident and her life and death were uncertain, so she begged to visit. The empress was suspicious, and clearly received the front-line military report, but still lied that she was okay and refused to let go.

If you want to lie, it is also the empress who has broken her word. Later intelligence proved that Ren Zhen was indeed poisoned and unconscious, and Haitang's plea at that time was not deceitful, he was really bent on saving his husband, unlike what they suspected, hiding tricks.

Today, the same situation is repeated. She sensed Ren Zhen's situation again, and the two sides were arguing, and the party with a precedent of lying had the face to question the other party lying!

Haitang stared at Xiao Tie Umbrella indifferently, almost staging the classic "frowning and killing", but fortunately, he restrained it in time and did not reveal any flaws.

"Lord Xiao, I care about my husband's safety, and I was forced to do this, so I might as well say something straight. I refused to meet His Majesty because I was leaving room for both sides. Otherwise, if you turn over the last incident in person, do you think Your Majesty's face will look good! ”

Xiao Tieyu's expression froze.

It is indeed not a wise move to beat people without slapping them in the face, scolding people without exposing their shortcomings, and to expose the ugly face of the empress in person. And Begonia is eager to save her husband, as long as she is forced to be anxious, she will inevitably mention this stubble, in this case, why bother to let these two women meet again?

Moreover, Ren Zhen is leading his troops outside, affecting the battle situation on the front line, if he bullies Begonia too much, let Ren Zhen wake up and know that the relationship between the monarch and the minister will become stiff, which is definitely not a good thing.

Xiao Tieyu's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Listen to your words, even if you don't hesitate to commit holy anger, you have to go to the front line today?" ”

Haitang's mind was quick, and he asked rhetorically: "Ask Lord Xiao, if it were you, and the person you wanted was in prison, would you ......?"

She knows very well that although Xiao Tieyu is ruthless, he has an infatuation, he has been in love with the empress for half his life, and he does not hesitate to give up his freedom, and is willing to be an eagle dog and accompany him in the deep palace. It might make sense to impress him with this.

Xiao Tieyu frowned violently, and raised his hand to interrupt her words, "If you are open-minded and really want to save the Hou of Blowing Water, then that's it, let me seal your acupuncture points first and settle here." I'll go and discuss it and get back to you as soon as possible, how about it? ”

He didn't want her to face the saint now, and he didn't dare to release her on his own initiative, so he decided to keep her first and go to Yuan Benxi himself.

In terms of wisdom and decision-making, who can compare to the countryman?

Haitang was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said awe-inspiringly: "Okay, but time is pressing, you have to go and come back quickly." ”

Being under the eaves and having to bow her head, she had no choice.

Single-handedly, wanting to kill Chang'an City is a pipe dream. Since she couldn't escape quietly, she could only gamble with her life.

Xiao Tieyu nodded, stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand to seal her acupoint, and quickly left this place.

A moment later, he came to the cabin.

Yuan Benxi had already sensed it, and was standing in front of the window, looking at him calmly.

"What?"

Xiao Tieumbrella stopped outside the house, didn't get any closer, and said concisely, "Your younger brother and sister want to leave and go to the front line to save your husband." According to her, there was a rebellion on the front line, and Cai Jiushi was urgently needed to recover from his injuries and preside over the overall situation. ”

Yuan Benxi's eyes froze.

As shrewd as he is, he can figure out all kinds of possibilities in an instant. Whether to let go or not is related to the empress's control over Ren Zhen, which seems insignificant, but in fact, it shows that Ren Zhen also has variables.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Xiao Tieyu smiled bitterly, "You should know about the poisoning last time, do you have to embarrass her twice?" ”

Yuan Benxi understood, this was the reason why he came to discuss with him. He looked at Xiao Tieyu and continued to ask, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Tieyu didn't answer immediately, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I'll tell you the truth, when I talked to that woman just now, I always had a very ridiculous feeling. ”

He rubbed the handle of the umbrella, the demeanor of Begonia appeared in his mind, and he thought back to the old enemy who had fought countless times back then, and his eyes were foggy.

"I suspect that she is Gu Jiantang."

Yuan Benxi was stunned, "What are you talking about?" ”
