He cleared his throat and tried to say a few good words for Qin Xuan, thinking that Qin Xuan was coerced by Lin Guo.

Gu Jue's eyes lightly scanned the surrounding half circle, taking all the thoughts of everyone into his eyes, not giving General Cheng a chance to speak, and only asked: "What is the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and what is the crime of killing my father?" ”

Each of these two counts is a capital offense.

His voice was neither light nor heavy, but it hit the hearts of Mu Rin, General Cheng and others like a heavy hammer.

Their hearts all plummeted into the abyss.

Not to mention the crime of patricide, if the crime of collaborating with the enemy is carried out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When the excerpt reaches the emperor's hands, the officials and generals up and down Nanyang will probably be washed again, and the people present are all cronies of the king of Nanyang, which is equivalent to the same crime in the eyes of the emperor......

Their careers, their families, are all ruined!

Mu Rin, General Cheng and the others looked at each other.

They are all generals of the Nanyang Army, and they can be said to be people on the same boat, originally this matter was Nanyang's family matter, maybe they could hide it, but Gu Jue, the king of Chen, was here.

This is a big Buddha that even the emperor is afraid of!

Mu Rin looked at Qin Yao with an inquiring look, since Qin Yao was able to invite King Dongchen to come forward, he wanted to have a personal relationship between them.

Qin Yao's fingers gently rubbed the lines on the unicorn jade pendant on his waist, and after a moment of silence, he said to Gu Jue: "Ninth brother, this is Nanyang's housework, leave it to me." ”

Seeing that Qin Yao and Gu Jue were talking very casually, Mu Rin and the others couldn't help but exchange another look with each other.

Their eyes all followed Qin Yao's line of sight towards Gu Jue, including Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan stared at the young man who was sitting side by side with Qin Yao in despair.

He looked at most in his early twenties, not like a scholar, nor like a soldier, he had a kind of Wei and Jin celebrities all over his body, both elegant and elegant, but also frivolous, uninhibited, and arbitrary, this contradictory temperament appeared in a person without any sense of disobedience, as if the worldly things could not fall into his eyes.

He and Qin Yao sat together, their temperaments were very different, but they were so harmonious, like the sun and the moon, exuding a light that did not distinguish between them.

Mu Rin hurriedly said: "So good! So good! ”

The others nodded their heads as well, looking at them as one.

Only Qin Xuan felt chills all over his body, and suddenly, the cold muddy water of the swamp seemed to spread to his nose, making him unable to breathe.

Gu Jue casually put the dagger in his hand into the sheath, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Okay, then you can handle it yourself." ”

The two of them talked with a smile, revealing a tacit understanding between them without words.

If Gu Jue had said from the beginning that Qin Xuan would be handed over to Qin Yao for disposal, there would definitely be some of these people who would have been crooked because of their own selfishness.

However, now, they first put Qin Xuan's collaborator on the surface, let Mu Rin and them realize the consequences of the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and then Qin Yao proposed that he deal with it, and everyone would agree without saying a word.

Mu Rin and the others were all relieved when they heard this, on the one hand, they were grateful for Gu Jue's magnanimity, and on the other hand, they were also glad that Qin Yao and Gu Jue were good friends.

Qin Xuan jumped up from the ground, looking at Gu Jue and Qin Yao's eyes wide, their eyes were full of bloodshots.

These two people decided his fate in just a few words.

Qin Xuan pointed at Gu Jue and Qin Yao's noses and said, "You...... You are not qualified to decide whether I live or die! You are not qualified to judge me! ”

He described his madness, and then said to Mu Rin and the others: "Old General Mu, haven't you seen it yet? I was wronged, and I was forced to confess my guilt just now, but in fact, all this is a conspiracy between my eldest brother and this person! ”

"You are all fooled by them, they are the ones who collaborate with the enemy and treason, they are them!"

Qin Xuan became more and more excited, his whole person was almost crazy, and his mind was even more chaotic and lost his mind.

There was only one thought left in his heart: he couldn't admit his guilt, he couldn't fall into Qin Yao's hands, and Qin Yao would definitely not let him go easily!

There was silence all around.

Mu Rin and the others all looked at Qin Xuan with a gaze that was almost pitying, as if to say, are you crazy?! He actually said that King Chen was treasonous!

Qin Xuan also felt that he was going crazy, he didn't understand why Qin Yao and the others hadn't come up with any substantive evidence at all, so why was he convicted of collaborating with the enemy and killing his father.

Gu Jue smiled.

His laughter was inaudible, but the contradiction was so clear that it made the hearts of everyone present tremble.

As if he had heard some joke, Gu Jue whispered, "You say that this king is treason?!" ”

This king?! Qin Xuan's heart also trembled.

The other party calls himself the king, which means that he has a king.

Do they have such a young prince in Daqi?

The emperor's princes have not yet been crowned kings, no, it should be said that the second prince is only fifteen years old, and he is definitely not the young man in front of him, so is he the emperor's brother......

Wait, Brother Jiu?!

"Nine ......" Qin Xuan read unconsciously, feeling a thunderbolt crossing his heart, and suddenly his heart brightened.

King Chen Gu Jue is ranked ninth.

Only King Chen could easily hold Mu Rin and them, and the strange soldiers he saw when he entered the camp were also under King Chen.

Only King Chen can convict himself without clear evidence.

"You are King Chen......" Qin Xuan knelt down softly, as if his spirit had been drained away, and he felt that his eyes were gloomy.

Therefore, it was also King Chen who rescued Qin Yao, so Qin Yao was able to escape in his pursuit.

Qin Xuan's fists were clenched tightly together, and his joints were rattling and his joints were white.

He looked at Gu Jue in disbelief, he still couldn't accept this reality, and muttered in his mouth: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this......"

King Chen shouldn't have saved Qin Yao, and he shouldn't have appeared here.

Isn't King Chen supposed to be trapped in the capital?!

Qin Yao looked at Qin Xuan with a hideous face, and his whole person was surprisingly calm.

When it just happened, when he found out that the murderer of his father was his own brother, he was also confused, and asked himself again and again, why did Qin Xuan do this, why did he come to this point?

During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries in the capital, watching Gu Jue's step-by-step operation, he figured out that there were not so many "whys" in this life.

Some people are born unworthy.

Qin Yao rubbed the unicorn jade pendant on his waist twice.

Seven years ago, before he left Nanyang, his father gave each of them a jade pendant, one for Qi and one for Lin.

The unicorn is also a benevolent beast.

My father hoped that they would be like the unicorns, and they would become people with outstanding talents and both ability and integrity.

At that time, Qin Xuan, who was not yet eight years old, innocently asked: "Father, the eldest brother is the son, then I will be the deputy of the eldest brother, can you make me a general?" ”

The current Qin Xuan probably doesn't remember what he said for a long time.

Qin Yao let go of the jade jade pendant engraved with Qi and said, "Death to those who collaborate with the enemy and traitor." ”

Mu Rin and the others were startled at first, but they quickly calmed down and glanced at each other, and they all felt that this was the best.

In any case, Qin Xuan, as the second son of the palace, is always a trick, even if he hides it now, what if it still breaks out a day later?

Now Nanyang himself has disposed of Qin Xuan first, and there is no proof of his death, even if the emperor knows, there is no one to interrogate, let alone investigate, and he can only stop it.

Old General Cheng was entangled in his heart for a while, and felt that this was a good time for him to clear up his relationship with Qin Xuan.

He was the first to speak out: "What the prince said is extremely true, those who collaborate with the enemy and traitor die. ”

Then, the other two veterans also responded.

Qin Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at this scene, his face was hideous and distorted, and he thought: Qin Yao really wants his life! Also, all of these people wished he was dead.

In a chorus, Qin Yao calmly announced again: "Then the prince of the world will sentence Qin Xuan to be executed immediately, and he will be executed in front of the camp immediately." ”

"Then in the name of killing my father." Gu Jue said lightly, "Others...... The king and all of you here will know it. ”

All the generals were all grateful when they heard this, you and I expressed our gratitude to Gu Jue in one word, praised him for understanding the righteousness, praised him for his insight and so on.

Qin Xuan's eyes were covered with cobweb-like bloodshots, and his heart was completely cold.

Before today, he thought that his life was about to reach its peak, and he was only one step away from the title of King of Nanyang.

However, in just one stick of incense, he fell from the peak to the bottom.

It was obviously the height of summer in June, but Qin Xuan felt as if the temperature had been lost around him, and it was like a cold winter.

The air seemed to freeze.

Qin Xuan was really scared now.

He shouted excitedly, "No! ”

"I am the second son of Nanyang Palace, and I am not something you can dispose of privately."

"I want to face the saint, I am wronged!"

Qin Xuan's voice became higher and higher-pitched, sharper and sharper, as if roaring out of the throat of a beast.

It's good that he didn't say this, as soon as he said it, Mu Rin was still hesitant, but now the slightest hesitation has disappeared.

How can this collaborator be stabbed in front of the emperor!!

Finally, King Chen became friendly with Qin Yao and was willing to keep this matter private, but Qin Xuan didn't know the severity.

Also, he can do things that are not tolerated by heaven and earth, such as collaborating with the enemy and killing his father, and what is the severity!

He's only going to hurt them if he's alive, and there's no telling what else he's going to do!

Qin Xuan can't stay.

Mu Rin gritted his teeth and said to himself that the Nanyang Army must break its tail to survive and dig out the pus and blood in order to get a new life.

He also nodded and said, "Lord Shizi, what you said is true!" This matter must be decided on the spot. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Qin Yao and clenched his fists to show respectful submission.

General Cheng and the other two veterans also stood up, all of them bowing down and clenching their fists.

"I want to see the emperor! I want to go to Beijing! Qin Xuan screamed hysterically, his chest rose and fell violently, and the whole person looked crazy, like a madman.

Qin Yao couldn't see Qin Xuan in his eyes anymore, for him, Qin Xuan was already a dead man.

He clapped his hands twice, and the next moment, two tall and powerful soldiers entered the camp.

The two of them restrained the crazy Qin Xuan left and right, and dragged people out rudely and strongly.

Qin Xuan was still roaring repeatedly, struggling to let them let him go, but his little strength was so weak under the hijacking of these two five big and three thick soldiers.

After a while, Qin Xuan was escorted by them to the square in front of the central tent, above, the military flag representing the Nanyang Army was flying in the wind in mid-air, hunting sound.

One of the soldiers kicked Qin Xuan hard in the calf.

Qin Xuan snorted and staggered to his knees, facing the military flag of the Nanyang Army.

The movement here also alarmed the rest of the camp.

The other soldiers in the camp also heard the noise, and the waves rushed towards this side.

Seeing Qin Xuan being escorted and kneeling on the ground, these soldiers were all confused, they didn't know what was going on.

Mu Rin and the others walked out with Qin Yao in their arms, attracting the attention of all the soldiers at once.

They also saw Qin Yao in a wheelchair, and in an instant, there was an uproar in the crowd, which was even more lively than before.

Some people talk to each other in twos and threes; Some people pointed at Qin Yao and Qin Xuan; Some people couldn't help but walk in the direction of Mu Rin.

"Old General Mu," a middle-aged soldier with a mighty figure walked towards Mu Rin, Qin Yao, and the others, and asked with his fists clenched, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mu Rin didn't answer immediately, but said, "I'll explain later." ”

In the eyes of all the soldiers, Mu Rin strode to the banner of the Nanyang Army, and announced loudly: "Soldiers of Nanyang County, please listen to me. ”

"Today we have found out the truth about the death of the prince, and the real murderer who killed the prince was not the prince of the world, but the second son Qin Xuan."

"Qin Xuan is not filial to kill his father, the evidence is conclusive, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be sentenced and sentenced according to the law!"

Mu Rin's voice was high-pitched and loud, impassioned, and it spread to every corner of this square, and also clearly reached the ears of the soldiers present.

The soldiers were all dumbfounded, and the square was silent.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the square boiled again, like boiling water.

Mu Rin has been in Nanyang for decades, and he is very prestigious in the army, everyone knows that he is loyal to the king of Nanyang, and once followed the king of Nanyang from birth to death.

Three or four young generals under twenty walked out of the crowd with complicated expressions, and one of the thin-eyed young generals couldn't help but confirm to Mu Rin: "Old General Mu, what you said is true, right?" ”

These young generals all grew up playing with Qin Yao when they were children, until Qin Yao went to the capital to work as a proton when he was eleven years old.

When they heard that Qin Yao had killed his father, they also felt unbelievable.

The Qin Yao they knew was not such a person!

Before Mu Rin could answer, the other square-faced young general said excitedly: "I'll just say, it's definitely not the prince of the world, how could the prince of the world kill the prince!" ”

"That's it!"

"The prince has always been above board!"

The other two youngsters also echoed each other, and their spirits were flying.

"Lord Shizi, are your legs okay?"

"The second son actually planted the blame on the prince, it is really hateful!"

These young generals all circled around Qin Yao, some asked Qin Yao about his injured leg, and some asked Qin Yao how he got out of danger, and their voices were quickly suppressed by the voices of other soldiers in the rear.

When the surrounding soldiers looked at Qin Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, they all looked excited and angry.

Once, many of them thought that Qin Xuan had the demeanor of the prince when he was young, felt that he was better than the prince Qin Yao, and also felt that he was more suitable to be the prince, but the reality slapped them hard.

Some of the soldiers recalled their previous accusations against Qin Yao, and they were inevitably a little ashamed, and they didn't dare to look directly into Qin Yao's eyes.

At this moment, when they looked at Qin Xuan again, they felt that this second son had a hateful face.

Soon, an executioner armed with a long knife came, tall, with a cold face and a bloody murderous aura.

Qin Xuan watched the executioner gradually approach, his limbs were cold and slightly numb.

The cold light on the long knife was reflected in his pupils.

Qin Xuan was even more panicked, his mind was in chaos, and he shouted, "It's not me!" I didn't kill my father! ”

"It's Qin Yao who colluded with King Chen to harm me!"

“……”

The soldiers present were confused.

The prince colluded with King Chen?!

The other soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what Qin Xuan was talking about.

"Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan! ”

At this moment, a sharp and anxious female voice came from the entrance of the tent, and the voice was getting closer and closer.

The soldiers who had gathered together parted ways, and they saw a beautiful woman of thirty-five or sixteen years of age, dressed in a purple gown, trotting towards this direction.

The woman's forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was hasty, and her face was discolored.

"Princess!"

"The princess is here!"

The other soldiers were in a commotion again, shouting one by one, and shouting one after another.

Princess Nanyang walked quickly to Qin Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and was slightly relieved to see that her son was safe and sound.

As soon as Qin Xuan saw Princess Nanyang, as if he had seen a savior, he shouted: "Mother, save me!" They're going to kill me! ”

"Brother Xuan, don't be afraid," Princess Nanyang looked at her second son distressedly, and comforted her softly, "With the mother concubine here, no one will want to attack you." ”

She quickly looked around, her eyes shot at Qin Yao like an arrow, and she raised her head and scolded angrily: "Qin Yao, what are you going to do, it's not enough to kill your father, do you want to kill your brother?" ”

"You are simply inhuman, heartless and liverless! Brother Xuan is your brother-in-blood! ”

"If you dare to kill your brother, even I, the concubine, will be killed."

Princess Nanyang glared fiercely at Qin Yao, who was two or three feet away, her eyes as deep as ink.

His eldest son is not close to her, when he was a child in Nanyang, he was raised by his grandfather; Later, after his grandfather passed away, he went to the capital again, and he never came back for so many years, as if he was always separated from himself.

Princess Nanyang guarded Qin Xuan behind her, like a female beast protecting her cubs.

Qin Xuan grabbed her left hand and muttered, "Mother, save me, it's not me...... It's not my father I killed. ”

Qin Xuan's eyes flickered, hiding half of his face behind Princess Nanyang, and staring at Qin Yao in a wheelchair, his heart surging.

Qin Yao stared deeply at the mother and son in front of him, their mother and son were deeply affectionate, as if he was just an outsider.

"Mother, it was Qin Xuan who killed his father." Qin Yao said calmly.

The mother concubine has favored the second brother since she was a child, and Qin Yao has long been used to this.

People are close to each other, and the same is true for mothers and children.

Mu Rin also took two steps forward and said, "Princess, it is indeed the second son who killed the prince." ”

General Cheng and others also echoed it.

Princess Nanyang's brows furrowed even tighter, describing excitement.

She didn't believe it at all, and said hysterically: "Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

"How could Brother Xuan kill his father!"

"It's you, it's you who deliberately blamed your second brother for the crime."

Princess Nanyang's voice became more and more sharp and high, and she felt that Mu Rin and these people were all subdued by Qin Yao, so they reversed right and wrong.

As she spoke, she took another step, like a solid shield protecting Qin Xuan behind her.

The prince is dead, and she can't lose Xuan'er anymore.

Qin Xuan's heart was relieved when he heard this: With his mother and concubine here, Qin Yao can't do anything to him! The mother concubine will definitely protect him.

"Mother, are you really sure that Qin Xuan is innocent?" Qin Yao asked with a smile.

His piercing eyes seemed to be able to see through all the secrets of her heart.

Qin Xuan has been raised under the knees of his mother since he was a child, and he knows his son Mo Ruo's mother, even if his mother did not suspect that Qin Xuan killed his father before, but things have developed to this point, can it be said that the mother concubine really didn't realize what was wrong with Qin Xuan at all? !

She just didn't want to look at it directly.

Qin Yao's gaze was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and Princess Nanyang's heart suddenly burst into a scorching fire, burning her to the point of losing her mind.

"Of course your brother is innocent!"

"You killed your father, and you should be the one who died!"

Just because of Qin Yao, the prince is dead, and Qin Xuan is also going to die......

Princess Nanyang's originally beautiful face looked a little hideous because of hatred, and her eyes were about to split, and her eyes burst out with hatred, and she couldn't wait to pounce on her and tear Qin Yao apart.

At this moment, in her eyes, Qin Yao was not her son, but an enemy, an enemy who wanted to kill her son.

Qin Xuan shook Princess Nanyang's hand harder, and said in his heart: That's right, the damned person should be Qin Yao!

His eyes were as dark as owls, and there was a touch of murderous intent in his eyes.

Qin Yao: "......"

Facing this murderous mother and son, Qin Yao's face did not change, his black pupils contracted violently in an instant, and his eyes were fixed on Princess Nanyang's face.

Suddenly, his gaze returned to calm.

Murder pays for life, and it is justified.

He didn't say anything more, and directly ordered: "Women are not allowed to enter the barracks without permission, come and invite the princess away." ”

Qin Yao gave an order, and the surrounding commotion of the soldiers calmed down, like a mirror-like lake.

The two cold-faced soldiers of the Beidi Army took a few steps forward, walked in front of Princess Nanyang, and said lukewarmly: "Princess, please!" ”

"You dare!" Princess Nanyang's chin was high, "I want to see it...... Licentious! ”

Before she finished speaking, she heard a scream like a pig being killed accompanied by a strange "click" sound, Qin Xuan's right wrist holding the princess's hand was unjointed, and his right palm hung down at a strange angle.

The two soldiers mercilessly clamped Princess Nanyang and dragged people out directly.

Several grandmothers and maids accompanying the princess cried out excitedly:

"Bold, you actually did it to the princess!"

"Stop!"

"Let go of the princess!"

“……”

A few female voices faded away, and finally nothing could be heard.

In the square, there was silence, except for the sound of the military flag hunting and flying in mid-air.

Qin Xuan's heart instantly fell to the bottom again, his whole body was cold, and his left hand held his dislocated right hand.

His hair was half loose in a bun, and some of it was loosely draped down to cover half of his face.

He shouted at Qin Yao excitedly: "Qin Yao, you despicable villain, if you have the ability, you will have a real battle with me!" ”

"You're just a fox and a fake tiger, relying on King Chen!"

His eyes became blood-red like a beast, his face was hideous, and he glared at Qin Yao fiercely, really wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

In contrast, Qin Yao was calm and relaxed.

Qin Xuan knelt and Qin Yao sitting, and when he looked down at Qin Xuan two feet away, he couldn't help but have a bit of condescending.

"Fight?" Qin Yao hooked his lips and smiled sneeringly, "You are not qualified!" ”

"......" Qin Xuan's eyes widened, and his face was extremely ugly.

Qin Xuan announced lightly: "Qin Xuan killed his father, and he should be beheaded for his crimes!" ”

"Execution."

As he finished speaking, the bearded executioner raised the butcher's knife in his hand, the cold edge of the knife glistening in the sunlight.
