Chapter 154: Questioning
"What, you said that General Liu Chen colluded with Rongguo and deliberately rebelled......" After listening to Xin'er's report, Jiang Wang's face was suddenly stunned, as if listening to thunder, he immediately got up from his seat and asked Xin'er seriously, "Xin'er, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, do you have real evidence?"
"Father and daughter couldn't believe it, but student Wang Shi did hear the conspiracy between Liu Chen and Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo. Xin'er replied truthfully to King Jiang.
After hearing the county lord speak, Wang Shi covered his injured chest, slowly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Wang Shi, a student of Xiuwu Academy, visited the king, just as the county lord said, the student did hear General Liu Chen and Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo, conspiring in the camp tent......"
Wang Shi reported what he had just told the county lord of Xin'er to King Jiang again.
After finishing speaking, the blood in Wang Shi's chest surged, the wound hurt again, and he couldn't help coughing heavily, almost spurting out a mouthful of blood. Although Cai Yin's powerful recovery agent is fierce, the effect is indeed useful, and the internal injury in Wang Shi's chest has been much better, but after all, it has not completely healed, and there is still a secret pain in his chest.
In order to report Liu Chen's rebellion to King Jiang, Wang Shi had no choice but to hold on to his injured body and meet King Jiang.
"Trainee Wang Shi, the widow asked you, is what you said true?" After listening to Wang Shi's words, Jiang Wang's face was solemn, and while he was stunned, he also had some doubts in his heart, so he asked sharply.
Wang Shi raised his head, clasped his hands, faced Jiang Wang, and replied seriously with a small face, "Returning to the king, the student Wang Shi dares to guarantee his life, what the student said is true, if there is a lie, he is willing to die." ”
King Jiang held his sideburns and beard, his face was still a little suspicious, after all, Liu Chen was the general of Jiang Guo, and the Liu family was even more favored by the king, Liu was the royal family of the Jiang family, and he had been guarding the border of Jiang for nine hundred years.
Just when King Jiang hesitated, Dazai Jiang Zi'an suddenly stepped forward and said, "King, Weichen thinks that the words of the student Wang Shi should not be false, in fact, the minister has always suspected that General Liu Chen has the intention of rebellion. ”
"Dazai, what do you mean by that, why do you doubt Liu Chen?" King Jiang looked at Jiang Zi'an and immediately asked.
"King Qiyu, since Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo, came to Jiang, Weichen secretly ordered someone to secretly monitor Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo, and his party, as a result, Weichen found that the general Liu Chen secretly had correspondence with Huang Zheng, but they acted very carefully, and Weichen has not been able to capture their correspondence. ”
"What, there is such a thing? Dazai, why didn't you tell the widow earlier?" Hearing this, King Jiang turned angry and slapped the table and asked.
"The king, although Weichen knew that Liu Chen and Huang Zheng had correspondence, there was no definite evidence, so Weichen was also suspicious and didn't dare to rashly tell the king. Jiang Zi'an said truthfully, "Liu Chen has always been cautious, but he didn't expect that this time he finally showed his feet and was heard by student Wang Shi about his conspiracy with Huang Zheng. ”
"In this way, Liu Chen really betrayed Jiang Guo!" King Jiang has always trusted Dazai Jiang Zi'an, and after Dazai's testimony, King Jiang finally had to believe it, and then said angrily, in addition to anger, there was also deep disappointment in his tone. "It's really hateful, come here, immediately order the guards to arrest Liu Chen, and the widow wants to question him face to face. ”
"Wait a minute, my father will calm his anger first, this matter must be handled carefully, now Liu Chen has sent the Red Horse Army to surround the entire camp, if you send guards to arrest Liu Chen now, in case you are in a hurry to force Liu Chen, my daughter is worried that Liu Chen will rebel and murder her father." ”
"That's right, what the county lord said is very reasonable, this matter must be cautious, the king must not arrest Liu Chen rashly, besides, Liu Chen's strength is strong, but it is not so easy to arrest. Jiang Zi'an said.
"You're right, it's the widow who is confused. Then what do you say you should do?" Jiang Wang nodded, temporarily calmed the anger in his heart, and then asked.
As Jiang Zi'an said, Liu Chen is not only strong, but also has heavy troops, but there are 3,000 red horse troops stationed around the camp, and it is indeed impossible to deal with it rashly.
"Father, in fact, on the way here, we have already thought of a plan. Xin'er said to King Jiang.
"Oh, Xin'er, what can you do? King Jiang's face was shocked, his eyes immediately looked at Xin'er, and then asked.
Xin'er didn't answer, but turned around and stretched out her right hand, pointed at Wu Jian, who had been standing behind her, and then said, "Father, this method was thought up by my daughter's cultivation mentor Wu Jian, so let him tell you." ”
After being introduced by the county lord of Xin'er, Wu Jian took a step forward, saluted with both hands, and said slowly, his tone was not chaotic at all, "Under Wu Jian, meet King Jiang." ”
"Mr. is Xin'er's cultivation mentor, the widow often hears Xin'er mention, praise your strength, the widow is the county lord, but she has always been picky, she doesn't often praise people, since you can get the appreciation of the county lord, presumably Mr. must have something outstanding, and the widow will listen to Mr. What is his opinion. Jiang Wang carefully examined Wu Jian, and saw that although his clothes were a little tattered and unkempt, a heroic spirit could be vaguely seen from between his eyebrows, like a sharp blade hidden in the scabbard, without showing its edge.
Wu Jian's face did not move, and said slowly, "Now there are thousands of red horse troops outside the camp surrounded, the red horse army has always been brave and good at fighting, if General Liu Chen really launched a mutiny, with a few hundred guards in the camp, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the red horse army, however, the art of war is cloudy, capture the thief first capture the king, soldiers, all obey the military order, once there is no general in the army, then the army will collapse, although there are many red horse soldiers, but they all obey Liu Chen's military orders, as long as we capture Liu Chen, the red horse army is naturally not afraid. "Tiantianxs.
"The king, on the grounds of discussing state affairs, let him relax his vigilance and summon Liu Chen alone to come to the big tent, and we can set up an ambush in the tent and take the opportunity to capture him. ”
After listening to Wu Jian's strategy, Jiang Wang nodded slightly, but soon his face appeared with a lot of difficulty, and said, "Sir's plan is indeed a good plan, but it's a pity that Mr. ignored one point, even if Liu Chen was not escorted by the Red Horse Army, he only entered the big tent alone, but Mr. can know that Liu Chen is the general of Jiang Guo, and he is the strongest man in Jiang Guo, even if all the guards in the camp work together, he is not Liu Chen's opponent, how can you capture him." ”
Hearing King Jiang's concern, the corners of Wu Jian's mouth raised slightly, and said, "Don't panic, the king, it's not difficult to capture Liu Chen, just the next person." ”
Hearing Wu Jian's big words, King Jiang's face was shocked, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately turned into a dry smile, and said, "Sir, you are talking big, Liu Chen's strength has reached the level of Riyao." ”
Before King Jiang's laughter fell, at this time, someone outside the camp tent suddenly reported and shouted loudly
"Your Majesty, General Liu Chen is asking to see you outside the tent. ”
Hearing the report, everyone was shocked. King Jiang hadn't been summoned yet, but he didn't expect Liu Chen to come to meet him first.
"Why is Liu Chen here?...... does he know that the matter has been revealed," Jiang Wang was shocked and said in a lost voice.
"King, don't panic, Liu Chen may not know that the matter is revealed, you might as well summon him in and ask first. Jiang Zi'an proposed.
"Summoning Liu Chen in, but what if he has a bad plan......" Jiang Wang said with some concern.
"King, if you don't meet Liu Chen at this time, it will make him suspicious. ”
Hearing Jiang Zi'an's words, there was indeed some truth, Jiang Wang nodded slightly and agreed with Jiang Zi'an's words.
"Father, don't worry, Uncle Wu Jian is here. Xin'er said confidently, Xin'er is very confident in Wu Jian's strength, although she doesn't know how strong Wu Jian's strength is, but since Wu Jian dares to say that he is sure that he can capture Liu Chen, then Xin'er believes that he will be able to catch it.
Hearing that Xin'er was so confident in vouching for Wu Jian, King Jiang had no choice but to believe it for the time being.
"Okay, then summon Liu Chen in. Jiang Wang stabilized his body and sat on the high seat, then breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Xuan Liuchen came to see you. After seeing King Jiang's summons, Jiang Zi'an shouted loudly outside the tent.
As soon as the summons fell, Liu Chen walked into the big tent. Liu Chen was dressed in a black simple suit, his steps were calm, and his face couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that there were so many people in Jiang Wang's tent.
"Weichen Liu Chen, meet the king. After Liu Chen entered the big tent, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Jiang Wang looked at Liu Chen coldly, but he didn't let him get up, and asked coldly, "It's so late, what's the matter with the general?"
Hearing King Jiang's cold tone, Liu Chen's heart was shocked again, and then replied, "King Qiqi, Wechen just received an urgent report from the border pass, outside the border of Jiang State, there seems to be signs of a large-scale transfer of the Rong ** team, Wechen is worried that the Rong State will take advantage of Jiang Rong's two excellent school exams to send troops to Jiang Guo, so Wei Chen implored the king to let the minister go to the border and guard the gate to prevent the Rong ** team from sneaking up on the border pass." ”
After listening to Liu Chen's words, Jiang Wang was furious, originally he had a trace of doubt about Wang Shi's words, Wang Shi said that Liu Chen colluded with Rongguo, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and when Rongguo sent troops to the border pass, he opened the border gate of Jiang Guo, and now Liu Chen took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the border pass, which is catering to what Wang Shi said. This made Jiang Wang even more suspicious, and he couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily, "Liu Chen, you asked to go to the border, do you want to go to the town to guard the gate, or do you want to open the gate and let the Rong ** team in?"
Hearing this, Liu Chen's body stiffened, he didn't understand what King Jiang meant by this, and immediately replied, "Weichen doesn't understand, what does the king mean by this? ”
"Liu Chen, you still dare to deceive the widow. The widow has always treated you well and entrusted you with important tasks, but I didn't expect you to dare to collude with the people of Rongguo with the intention of betraying Jiang Guo. King Jiang asked angrily, his hoarse voice was filled with incomparable anger and disappointment, and the table in front of him was shaken slightly.
Hearing King Jiang's thunderous anger, Liu Chen couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes widened, but his resolute face was full of shock, staring at King Jiang's angry eyes, Liu Chen clasped his hands and said excitedly, "King, Weichen really doesn't understand what you mean by this." How could the minister betray Jiang Guo? The minister has been favored by the royal family for generations, and he does not dare to forget each other, and he is even more loyal to Jiang Guo, and the minister will never betray Jiang Guo.
At this time, Wang Shi came out, he covered his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood in front of Liu Chen, stared at Liu Chen, and asked in a solemn voice, "General Liu, do you still recognize me?" Just now, you almost killed me, you must be very disappointed to see that I am still alive." ”
