Chapter 448: The number of qi is exhausted
Just when Zhou Qingwu left Zhang Ruolan's palace, Qian Baihan's mansion ushered in a new group of assassins.
Commander Xia and Chu Lie were around Qian Baihan, their expressions were already very serious, "Such a big battle, is it crazy to protect the country?" ”
Where is this still an assassination, this is clearly a blatant attempt to carry out a massacre.
Qian Baihan killed the nearest assassin with a knife, and his face was also a little worried.
The Protector clearly knew that his palace was now short of troops, so he sent so many people, and now even the reinforcements have lost most of them, and if this continues, he will inevitably be killed or injured.
In such a situation, Qian Baihan can only pin his hopes on Yang Yuecheng.
"Will Yang Yuecheng not come?" Chu Lie frowned and asked, "If he doesn't come, what should we do, master?" ”
They couldn't sit still here, there were fewer and fewer of them, but more and more Assassins were coming up.
Qian Baihan didn't answer, he knew that Yang Yuecheng would definitely come.
Because if he doesn't come, then what he doesn't have tomorrow will be Yang Yuecheng's life.
Sure enough, not long after Chu Lie's words were asked, Yang Yuecheng rushed to Qian Baihan's mansion and helped Qian Baihan in time.
The corpses all over the ground looked terrifying, Yang Yuecheng and Qian Baihan stood side by side and looked at the tragic scene on the steps, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Isn't the protector crazy?" So many people were sent? ”
"The Lord Protector knows that his path to becoming an official has come to an end, and before he is imprisoned tomorrow, he will naturally find a way to kill me." Qian Baihan turned his head to Yang Yuecheng and said, "Thank you General Yang for coming to the rescue, please go into the hall for a while before leaving!" ”
Yang Yuecheng thought for a while, and followed Qian Baihan into the main hall.
Commander Xia took Chu Lie and others to dispose of the corpses in the courtyard, Qian Baihan and Yang Yuecheng sat in the hall, and a maid handed it over to make tea, and her expression looked a little frightened.
"General Qian just said that tomorrow the Protector Guild will be imprisoned?" Yang Yuecheng looked at Qian Baihan and asked, with confusion in his eyes.
The people of the DPRK and China were impeaching Zhang Quan, and he naturally knew this, but in such a short period of time, Yang Yuecheng always felt that it was impossible for the protector to go to prison.
At least, we have to wait a little longer, and wait until the officials sent by Zhou Qingwu to verify give evidence before Zhang Quan will be convicted.
Qian Baihan did not avoid answering Yang Yuecheng's question, but nodded and said, "Yes!" Tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will definitely cure the crime of protecting the country, since the crime has been cured, how can there be no prison? ”
Hearing this, Yang Yuecheng couldn't help but continue to ask: "But without evidence, how can Your Majesty cure the crime of protecting the country?" ”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qian Baihan's mouth, he looked at Yang Yuecheng and said: "I have already presented the evidence of the crime of the protector into the palace to Your Majesty today, such a big crime as collaborating with the enemy and treason, do you think Your Majesty can still tolerate Zhang Quan?" ”
Yang Yuecheng's heart was shocked, "Collaborate with the enemy and treason? ”
Zhang Quan has always been in contact with Bai Fanghua, but he has always thought that Zhang Quan just wants to use Bai Fanghua and others to make meritorious contributions!
Qian Baihan replied and said slowly to Yang Yuecheng: "I have already presented the correspondence between the Protector and Bai Fanghua to Your Majesty, and no matter how good the Protector can speak, the assassin will not be able to wash away the charges on his body. ”
If it weren't for the loss of those letters, Zhang Quan would not have been so anxious to want his life.
It's just a pity that it's still a step too late, the Zhang family's anger is exhausted, no matter how much Zhang Ruolan is favored in the palace, she can't save the protector.
What's more, according to the news that Qian Baihan knew, Zhang Ruolan's hatred for her sweetheart being forced to death by Zhang Quan for many years had already erupted.
At this time, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy in the palace, how can I intercede with Zhang Quan?
Yang Yuecheng's eyes were already panicked, he and Zhang Qu had been in private contact many times, if Zhou Qingwu found out, he was afraid that he would inevitably be implicated.
It's just that at this moment, in front of Qian Baihan, he barely stabilized his mind and said: "If General Qian can find out about this matter, Your Majesty will definitely reward General Qian heavily." ”
Qian Baihan looked at Yang Yuecheng's expression and said lightly: "Just be loyal to the country!" Don't dare to ask for your majesty's reward. ”
The smile on Yang Yuecheng's face was already a little stiff, and at this moment, a maid came over with freshly brewed tea, he took the teacup, and thought for a while before saying to Qian Baihan: "General Qian was almost killed today, tomorrow morning, I will present this matter to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to make the decision for General Qian." ”
Qian Baihan took a sip of tea and said to Yang Yuecheng: "If this is the case, Qian Mou has thanked General Yang here." ”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yang Yuecheng relaxed a little, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"General Yang seems to have had some dealings with the Protector before, and Your Majesty may ask General Yang tomorrow." Qian Baihan said lightly, "I don't know General Yang, but have you thought of what to say?" ”
Yang Yuecheng's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, he raised his head and looked at Qian Baihan and said: "Yang doesn't know about the Duke of Protector and the enemy, and my Yang family has been loyal for several generations, and I, Yang, naturally will not do such a thing." ”
Qian Baihan smiled and said to Yang Yuecheng: "General Yang is not excited, I naturally believe in General Yang, but General Yang has extended a helping hand to Qian, so I want to remind you that tomorrow morning, General Yang must think about how to reply to His Majesty in advance." ”
"Well, General Qian is kind, Yang understands, it's not early at the moment, and Yang said goodbye first." Yang Yuecheng listened to Qian Baihan's two words, his face was no longer very good-looking, he stood up and arched his hand, and prepared to leave.
Qian Baihan called someone to send Yang Yuecheng out, and he went back to the inner room.
Looking at Yang Yuecheng's expression just now, it seems that he really did not participate in the matter of protecting the country and collaborating with the enemy.
It's just that even so, presumably tomorrow will not be able to escape Zhou Qingwu's accountability.
But it's okay like this, only if Yang Yuecheng makes a mistake, can he resume his official position.
Yang Yuecheng has also sat in the position of a great general for so long, it's time to return it to himself.
When Yang Yuecheng took the rest of the people back to his mansion, Jiang Yunrou was waiting at the door with a lantern to watch.
"Why are you here so late?" Yang Yuecheng looked at Jiang Yunrou and asked.
Jiang Yunrou smiled softly and said to Yang Yuecheng: "The concubine is worried about the general, so she simply came here to wait for the general." ”
Yang Yuecheng's heart swelled with warmth, and he took her hand and said, "I'm fine, it's more exposed, go in and say!" ”
As she spoke, the two of them stepped into the door, Jiang Yunrou carefully glanced at Yang Yuecheng's face, she opened her mouth, but in the end she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
