Looking at the lifelike tiger head waist card carved on the black jade, everyone believed that the person in front of them was really Chu He, the prince of Jingbei Hou.

It's just that why did the noble prince of the Jingbei Hou Mansion suddenly appear in this wilderness? Moreover, looking at his posture, he was not surprised by the situation in front of him in the slightest, as if he had been here from the beginning, watching all kinds of situations happen.

Looking at Wang Zheng, who had fallen to the ground and was dead, Vice General Zuo was the first to react, pointed at Chu He and asked, "General Chu, why are you here?" Our general was shot and fell to the ground and died, do you know the details of this? ”

Chu He saw that the left deputy general was the guy who wore a pair of pants with Wang Zheng, a sneer appeared on his face, and he looked at Wang Zheng, who was already out of breath: "Why is General Ben here, you will know later; As for why General Wang was suddenly killed by an arrow, it seems a little inappropriate for you to ask General Ben. ”

"What's wrong, General Chu is the general of the Qingzhou Army, and without the Holy Decree Edict, he can't easily leave the border fiefdom, but your whereabouts are strange and appear near the capital, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation? Moreover, General Wang just fell to the ground after an arrow, and you appeared after him, could it be a coincidence? ”

Chu He clapped his hands appreciatively and said: "This general is really eloquent, look at your clever mouth, it is really useless to be a military general instead of being a speech official." ”

"General Chu doesn't have to deliberately divert the topic, and ask the general to wait for me an explanation; Although our 30,000 city guards cannot be compared with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, we will not watch our generals be killed without explanation; If General Chu can't remove the suspicion from his body, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

As he spoke, Vice General Zuo took out the saber on his waist, and the loyal appearance of wanting to avenge Wang Zheng was really emotional, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chu He looked at the deputy general Zuo, who was obviously not easy to deal with, and glanced at Wang Zheng, who had lost his anger, and not only asked: "Yes, you also know that you are a city guard, shouldn't the city guard stay in the barracks for training?" Why are you hiding in this place full of wild graves, or are you going to do something shady and you have to hide? ”

Deputy General Zuo's face stiffened: "General Chu, where we go, we don't need to report to you, as an imperial army, naturally whatever orders are issued from above, we will follow them." ”

"An order from above? You are sure that you are receiving orders from above, and that someone is deliberately using you to do bad things. ”

Deputy General Zuo felt more and more that this Chu He appeared strangely, and now, he couldn't continue to be led by Chu He's nose, so he immediately made a straight face and said: "General Chu can't slander us casually, but you, general, you left the fiefdom and appeared in the capital at will, I think you want to do something unspeakable." ”

"Huh! Lao Tzu lived so big, it was the first time that someone dared to question Lao Tzu in such a tone. As he spoke, Chu He took out a holy decree from his arms and shook it in front of Deputy General Zuo and others: "You have all seen this thing, in the whole world, unless someone is looking for death, no one dares to forge the holy decree; General Ben was ordered to take the Black Armor Army from Qingzhou to Jeju City to protect His Royal Highness King Ling, and now His Royal Highness is going to return to Beijing, and General Ben is coming to lead for him; This lieutenant general, do you want to come and check in person, is this holy decree in the hands of this general true or false?! ”

Deputy General Zuo didn't expect Chu He to really come up with the holy decree, and he was a little panicked.

He heard what Chu He said just now, he also brought the Qingzhou army, and besides, King Ling was about to return to Beijing? Not good! The situation has changed, and he must quickly find a way to inform the queen mother.

Seeing that the left deputy general was panicked and wanted to run for a while, Chu He immediately pulled out a polished dagger from his waist, and the sharp knife surface was illuminated with a cold light, and it was straight at the left deputy general who wanted to escape.

At the same time, Chu He's casual voice also came: "This adjutant general, you and I are both people in the barracks, you should have heard of General Ben's ability, or let's try it, you can run away now, General Ben stands still and doesn't move, see if your legs are fast or the dagger in the hands of General Ben is lost, but General Ben wants to remind you that General Ben's quasi-leader has never made a mistake, if you really want to compare with General Ben and accidentally be stabbed to death by the dagger in General Ben's hand, it will be difficult to do." After all, there is only one human life, just like your General Wang, what if he is majestic in his life? Dead is not dead, just a puddle of rotten meat. ”

How could Deputy General Zuo not hear the coercion in Chu He's words, he was reminding him that if he dared to escape, he would dare to stab him to death with the dagger in his hand.

Looking at the dagger with a cold light, Deputy General Zuo seemed to have seen the blood light on the dagger and his eyes wide open in horror.

He really didn't expect that all the plans were going on in an orderly manner, and why did he suddenly jump out of a Cheng Biting Jin, blocking their way; And he can see that General Wang's death is definitely related to Chu He, this Chu He even dares to kill General Wang, so it can be seen that he doesn't care about killing one more of him.

Seeing that the deputy would be frightened by himself and stood in place and did not dare to move, Chu He threw the dagger in his hand one by one, and said, "Okay, since General Ben's whereabouts have been explained clearly to you, now, you should explain why you are here, right?" Also, if the imperial army wants to leave the barracks, there will be a holy decree issued by the emperor himself, what about your holy decree? Take it out for me to see. ”

Deputy General Zuo had long been forced by Chu He's momentum to not dare to say much, and at this time, the other young generals did not dare to say much, so they could only shrink their heads, not knowing how to answer Chu He's question; You know, many of them don't know why they came to this place where birds don't, hiding in the dark underground passages.

The right deputy general has always been a timid and fearful person, so from the beginning, he was not favored by Wang Zheng and recommended to the Jiang family to become a person of the Jiang family's faction, so among the 30,000 city guards, he can be regarded as the cleanest one; I almost don't know anything about the Jiang family's rebellion and the queen's murder of the monarch's wife.

Right now, seeing Chu Shizi questioning why they were here, and watching General Wang's unexplained tragic death, even Deputy General Zuo, who had always been smarter than him, looked like he was in a hefty manner; Even if he didn't hear anything outside the window, he noticed that the current situation was strange everywhere.

He looked at Deputy General Zuo, who was very close to General Wang on weekdays, and said, "Didn't we come out to experience by order?" Now that General Wang is deceased, the left lieutenant general is the general's right-hand man, and you must also know where the general put the holy decree; We will show the holy decree to General Chu, and all misunderstandings will be resolved. ”

The left lieutenant looked at the right lieutenant in embarrassment, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't know what to say to him.

And his hidden attitude is even more suspicious, the right deputy general is afraid of snubbing Chu He can only urge the left deputy general repeatedly, and the left deputy general has no way to urge the right deputy general, so he can only turn his head and pretend not to hear; For a while, everyone was confused, not knowing how this situation had developed.

Chu He had expected this scene, he took a step forward, looked at the others who were confused, and said, "Don't rush Deputy General Zuo, now, even if he is killed, he will not be able to get the holy decree; Because from the very beginning, there was no holy decree at all, and you were all fooled and used. ”

The other generals around Deputy General Zuo gasped in disbelief when they heard this, if it weren't for Chu He's presence at this moment, I'm afraid these people would have to surround and gossip like Deputy General Zuo to ask what happened.

Seeing that the truth was pierced, Vice General Zuo was even more uneasy, he didn't dare to face the questioning eyes of his comrades, he could only bear Chu He's coercion, and refused to admit it: "General Chu is just talking nonsense, if there is no holy decree, how dare we leave the barracks easily." ”

"Really? Then take it out and take a look, just like General Ben, take it out and take a look, and put it in front of you with real evidence, and everyone can be convinced. ”

The deputy general choked fiercely, and finally in the end, he could only hold his pale face and clench his teeth, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing that Vice General Zuo no longer dared to shout, Chu He sneered, looked at the leader of no less than ten young generals, and said, "Don't you understand the current situation?" You've all been used as pawns; Do you know where this dark passage leads? To tell you nothing, it is the secret passage to the palace. ”

Everyone looked at Chu He in disbelief with surprise on their faces.

Chu He continued: "You must be curious how General Ben could know this, because just a few days ago, General Ben had just saved the life of His Royal Highness King Ling from the hands of thieves; These people, even the prince dares to kill, everyone is a person with a brain, it should not be difficult to guess what these people with ghosts want to do. ”

After Chu He's reminder, one of the young generals stood up: "King Ling and King Xuan are the most popular candidates for the crown prince, if something happens to King Ling, then the person who is most likely to become the next Son of Heaven will be King Xuan; Could it be that all this is related to the contention for storage? ”

Chu He gave a thumbs up to the young general appreciatively: "It's still brother, you understand, you got to the point at once; Vice General Zuo, you can be regarded as the core person involved in this whole thing, why don't you stand up and talk about it, tell these good brothers who live and die with you, how did you and General Wang work for the queen and the Jiang family, and what are you going to do with these 30,000 city guards to my Great Wei? ”

Deputy General Zuo only felt a burst of cold sweat going out, looking at his comrades who threw questioning glances at him, he trembled and his legs fell back, and he couldn't bear the pressure and kept shaking his hand, saying: "No, it's not like this; I am also being used, I am also a chess piece, all this is what General Wang wants me to do, he said, as long as we control the palace, as long as we obey the dispatch of the queen mother, there will be endless glory and wealth waiting for us in the future; I'm doing it for the sake of you. Believe in me, believe in me. ”
