"You are talking nonsense, according to what you said, you are a spy who was discovered ten days ago, why didn't you go to the palace to report to the emperor at that time, you have to wait until now?" King Jin said coldly.

"As I said, because the matter is urgent, I didn't have time to report it to the emperor, besides, if I told the emperor in advance, if the mastermind behind the spy ran out to make an obstruction, secretly make trouble, and prevent me from arresting him, who would be able to bear this responsibility?" Chu Xuanchen said.

Speaking of this, he bowed his hand to Emperor Hongyuan and said: "Your Majesty, the minister ran for seven days and seven nights in order to catch this secret agent, during this period, the minister was unable to catch the secret agent and had trouble sleeping and eating, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, but fortunately the minister did not give up, and finally found out the whereabouts of this secret agent, and caught him in the Jin King's other village." This move is for the sake of the country, for the safety of the army, and for the people of Chu State, the minister does not seek merit, but only asks the emperor to deal with it justly and return the minister to a clean slate. ”

The implication is that Chu Xuanchen is telling the emperor not to chill the heart of a loyal minister because of King Jin's false accusations.

When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

King Jin was trembling with anger, he pointed at Chu Xuanchen and roared angrily: "Chu Xuanchen, you reversed black and white, you obviously went to find Yun Ruoyue, and you actually said that you were catching secret agents." Li Ao is the king's person, he is not a spy at all, all of this is framed by you, do you say that he is a secret agent? Do you have any proof? ”

"This king has no evidence, will he be arrested and taken to the palace?" After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he nodded at Mo Li behind him.

Mo Li immediately presented two things to Emperor Hongyuan, and everyone saw that one was a white serpentine jade pendant, and the other was a roll of marching arrays.

Mo Li suddenly knelt down and said: "Emperor Qiqi, when Li Ao was fleeing, the last general and others also saw it with their own eyes, at that time he was holding the marching formation map in his hand, because he fled in a panic, he also left this jade pendant, and hundreds of soldiers saw this jade pendant at that time." His Royal Highness King Liwang sent someone to check later, this serpentine jade pendant is finely made, rare in the world, and the emperor has rewarded it to the King of Jin, but it is said that the King of Jin later rewarded his disciple Li Ao. At that time, the prince concluded that it must be Li Ao who stole the array map, so the prince has been searching for him. In the end, the prince learned that Li Ao was hiding in a village on the outskirts of the King of Jin, and immediately led people to arrest him, and when the prince arrested him, in front of thousands of soldiers, he searched for this marching formation map from Li Ao. Therefore, the emperor, the last general and thousands of soldiers dare to guarantee with their heads that this Li Ao is the spy who stole the formation map, as for what he did stealing the formation map, and who instructed him, the last general and others don't know. ”

"What? In front of thousands of soldiers? Emperor Hongyuan's face suddenly became gloomy.

There are so many soldiers to testify, it seems that what Chu Xuanchen said is true, then this Li Ao is really a spy.

As for who instructed him, he could think of it on his heels.

"King Jin, you still haven't recruited from the truth? Did you instruct this Li Ao, and what did you instruct him to steal the marching formation? Emperor Hongyuan gritted his silver teeth, glared at King Jin with hatred that iron was not made of steel, and was furious.

King Jin's face suddenly turned pale, and he panicked instantly, "Father, the son didn't instruct him, really not." Li Ao, say it quickly, whether you were framed by Chu Xuanchen or not, say it quickly! ”

"Lord Wang, yes, the little one was framed by King Li. Not long ago, the little one saw that you had been in a bad mood and depressed, so he went to spy on the news and wanted to help the prince make a comeback. From a spy, Xiao learned that King Li had colluded with the people of Tiansheng Kingdom, so he took it upon himself to go to the military camp in the north of the city to spy on the news. The little one sneaked into the barracks at that time, and he just wanted to search for evidence of King Li's collusion with the enemy country, and surprise the prince. ”
