In the third month of Bai Qige's appointment as General Guangshu, due to the fact that Xiao Baishan, the general of the expedition, went to the south as a deputy general, the communication that had been interrupted for nearly a month was finally resumed again, and the content of the first letter sent back to the imperial capital of Dayao was not optimistic, and it could even be said that it was unimaginably bad.

"General Bai was invited by the new Guo'an Mausoleum to go to the meeting alone, and the soldiers of our army did not return for half an hour from a mile away. Then there was a cannon sound in front, and when our army was ordered to rush into the appointment place with the priority of rescuing General Bai, General Bai was nowhere to be seen, and only more than 100 enemy artillery were left to meet him, and our army ...... Heavy losses. ”

In the court, the civilian officials who recounted the content of the news of the Guang Garrison Army's report were heartbroken, and they only beat their chests and cried loudly to show the sadness and pain in their hearts. The other ministers of civil and military affairs were contemplative, dumbfounded, and sneered, but Yi Chenjing was expressionless, standing silently like a dead heart.

The letter was written by Xiao Baishan, and it was all oral facts from the two lieutenant generals Peng and Ai, according to what the letter said, it seems that Bai Qige colluded with the enemy country to set up an ambush to lead the Guangshu army, and what is worse is that the weapons used by the enemy army actually came from the arsenal of the Guangshu army, and Bai Qige personally checked the sand cannons. Yi Chenjing naturally didn't believe that Bai Qige would collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, but the facts were in front of him, what others thought he was powerless to stop, all he could do was to quietly observe Emperor Yao's face and see how the man he admired and hated would decide.

After a long silence, Emperor Yao patted the armrest of the dragon chair, and the court hall that was whispering endlessly immediately fell silent.

"General Bai must not jump to conclusions until he finds it. Immediately reply to the letter and let Xiao Baishan take over the Guangshu Army, there is no need to send troops to conscript, as long as you guard my Dayao border. If General Bai returns, let her rush back to the imperial capital immediately, and I have another task entrusted to her. ”

After listening to Emperor Yao's words, Yi Chenjing was a little relieved, he was not particularly worried about Bai Qige's safety, after all, Ning Xi, who had great powers, was drunk, and ordinary conspiracies and tricks could not hurt her in the slightest. The most feared thing is that Emperor Yao took the opportunity to give offense, and the previous actions that were obviously aimed at Bai Qige made Yi Chenjing worried, as for whether Emperor Yao was ruthless and ruthless and really wanted to kill Bai Qige or simply to keep them apart, it was unknown.

After the next court, Yi Chenjing did not immediately go to meet Emperor Yao, and stopped the same melancholy Lian Suiliang, and the two of them came to the general's mansion in silence all the way, closed the door and sighed face to face.

"I'm sure the white girl will be fine."

"I entrusted someone to take care of her, and that person's intentions for her were no less than mine."

"That's good......" Sui Liang sighed a few times, and his face showed a little tiredness, "It's okay if the white girl can come back and explain everything clearly, if she disappears like this, even if the emperor intends to help her, she won't be able to clear her of the charge of defecting to the enemy." Sow thistle...... I inquired about the queen, she really didn't know about this matter, and she didn't have any contact with them after the envoy left, so you should know who is secretly making trouble. ”

Yi Chenjing sneered.

Who else could there be. The person who is good at playing some power tricks and hates him and Bai Qige to the core, isn't there only Yi Chenxuan left. Unexpectedly, he was still dishonest when he was crowned king to the frontier, and he still had to take out the unquenchable thief's heart to make trouble.

After thinking about it, there was nothing else to talk about between the two, so he occasionally tore off the tight court clothes: "I'll go change my clothes and go with you to see the emperor, take this opportunity to get the white girl back, that kind of place is not a girl's house after all." ”

One is the crown prince, and the other is Emperor Yao's confidant, and it is not easy to see Emperor Yao. However, even Sui Liang and Yi Chenjing never expected that when they stepped into the Purple Cloud Palace as usual, what was waiting for them was an unexpected grounding order.

The war in the south is chaotic and complicated, the life and death of the main general Bai Qige is uncertain, and the only people who care about Bai Qige most in the previous dynasty are the general Sui Liang and the crown prince Yi Chenjing, but the emperor suddenly issued an order at this time, ordering these two to be grounded in the general's mansion and the prince's east palace respectively, and they are not allowed to raise the face of the saint until the ban order is revoked.

The emperor's order cannot be violated, and the two people who are under house arrest in their respective residences cannot resist, but they both have the same question in their hearts, and for no reason, this can be regarded as a sign before the storm. Emperor Yao didn't plan to deal with Bai Qige and didn't want to see the two of them pleading for it, so he made this decision.

Things were moving rapidly in an unpredictable direction, and the first spring thunder of the year had already sounded dullly in the cloudy sky.

The Guangshu Army, which lost its main general and scattered sand, suffered heavy losses, and Xiao Baishan began to adjust the inventory non-stop after he arrived, and finally realized what a big loss he had gained because of Bai Qige Yaoguo. After Bai Qige disappeared that day, the enemy hiding around the ferry bombarded the Guang Garrison Army, killing more than 100 soldiers on the spot and injuring more than 300 others, plus the heads of the soldiers of the scout battalion in two carriages that were later sent to the gate of the camp, the total number of troops was lost by nearly 700, and this did not count the large number of weapons and baggage lost.

Looking at the gloomy atmosphere of the Guang Garrison Army, Xiao Baishan was worried, and while continuing to send people to search for Bai Qige's whereabouts, he tried his best to eliminate the rumors in the army that Bai Qige had defected to the enemy and treason, and just when the situation was so chaotic that it could no longer be chaotic, Bai Qige suddenly returned.

It was a good thing that Bai Qige came back safely, but Xiao Baishan couldn't laugh, and the big stone in his heart was aggravated, and the person who sent Bai Qige back was the soldier of An Lingguo who bombarded the Guangshu Army.

"The matter was not done by An Lingguo, there is another hidden reason for inviting to meet, and I will explain the specific situation later." Bai Qige's face was full of tiredness, her face was as pale as paper, and she insisted that people let go of the carriage and horse that sent her back, and fell to the ground with a thud, except for Xiao Baishan who hurriedly stepped forward to help, everyone else stood in place and was indifferent.

Once she was a legend in the army, a war concubine who was admired and revered, and now, she is a traitor who killed countless soldiers and made tens of thousands of Guangjun soldiers hate, who would be willing to give mercy to this disabled woman who was full of injuries and diseases.

According to what Deng said later, Bai Qige was not hacked to death by the angry soldiers at that time, which was a great luck.

The sequelae left by the miscarriage caused Bai Qige to lose almost half of his life, there was no military doctor in the Anling military camp, and it was inconvenient to say this disease to those men, Bai Qige had endured it, and insisted on returning to the Guangshu army camp without any medicine to relieve the pain. Ning Xidrunk persuaded her to recuperate for a few more days before leaving, but Bai Qige was afraid that there would be changes in the army and had to rush back as soon as she could stand up, but fortunately, Lu Feidu and Wu Siying did not hinder her too much, and only conveyed some words of favor from the Lord of Anling and sent someone to send her back, Ning Xidrunk and Su Buqi were forced to leave by Bai Qige halfway, whether they were judged to be misunderstood or guilty in the end, her bottom line was not to affect others, especially Ning Xidrunk, a confidant and close friend.

It was late at night when he woke up from a coma, and Xiao Baishan, who heard that Bai Qige was awake, hurried to the tent with two hot eggs in his hands.

"One in one hand, hold it tightly, don't let go, the hotter the better." Seeing Bai Qige's dazed face, Xiao Baishan grinned, "The old home remedies are effective." ”

Bai Qige had a cold illness during the Northern Expedition before, and Yi Chenjing also briefly mentioned it to Xiao Baishan, the old general who had no children and no daughters had always taken this matter to heart, and after returning to the imperial capital, he asked thousands of questions to get this folk remedy, but he didn't expect to use it today. Seeing Bai Qige's miserable white face slightly relieved, Xiao Baishan seemed to be much more relaxed, thinking that there were still a lot of troubles that had not been solved, he couldn't help frowning again: "How could General Bai be with the enemy country and the party." If it weren't for General Peng and General Ai to help stop you today, those soldiers would have taken action against the person who sent you back. ”

"The person who sent me back was indeed an Anling soldier, but it was not them who initiated the invitation and set up an ambush, but someone else, everyone misunderstood."

"It's not as simple as ambushing General Bai now." Xiao Baishan sighed, his face sad, "General Bai doesn't know what those people have done." They stole our army's sand cannons, causing more than 100 people to be martyred; There are also more than 100 soldiers in the scout battalion, and they ...... Their heads were sent back, all of them were good boys, but in the end there were not even a whole corpse ......"

As he spoke, the tough guy with iron had red circles in his eyes, turned his back and quietly wiped his tears.

Bai Qige froze, looking at Xiao Baishan's back in a daze, the egg bone in his hand rolled to the ground, the fine cracks were sinuous and dense, and he could no longer restore his cleanness as before. She really didn't know that so many things had happened, although there were Ning Xi drunk and Lu Feidu in the Anling army, there was very little news about the Guangshu army, whether it was bombarding the Guangshu army or killing the scout camp, she had never heard of it, and it was only at this time that she knew what a heinous crime the group of people disguised as Anling soldiers had committed.

And the cause of this iniquity is her.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the abdominal pain, Bai Qige struggled to stand up: "The sand cannon was probably stolen, have you sent someone to count the arsenal?" There was no other thing missing. ”

"What else is important, but this sand cannon is the treasure of the Guangshu Army, there are only four in total, and all of them are gone." Xiao Baishan smiled bitterly, looked at the ground and was distracted, his voice was small and almost muttered, "The soldiers who took care of the arsenal have committed suicide, who stole the sand cannon and who is making trouble in it, no one can say it now." ”

When he came to the south, Yi Chenjing had confessed that he had to take care of these four sand cannons no matter what, Bai Qige thought that it was not necessary to use such strong firepower to deal with An Lingguo, but only led people to count and check the outside of the arsenal when he first arrived, and then he didn't think about it, but the result was that the arsenal went wrong, and the most important weapon was lost inexplicably, and it also fell into the hands of a third-party enemy. Bai Qige couldn't predict how angry Emperor Yao would be, but she understood that if it was put on an ordinary general, this would be enough to punish her with a capital crime.

Standing on the table for a moment, Bai Qige raised his hand and stretched out his hand to the battle armor on the table: "Let's talk about these later." The fact that General Xiao can come to the south has reduced my pressure a lot, and I finally have someone to discuss. As for An Lingguo, I don't think it's the best strategy to fight against it,"

"General Bai......" Xiao Baishan interrupted Bai Qige, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "The emperor has an order, let you return to the imperial capital as soon as possible after returning to the team." ”

Bai Qige couldn't remember how many times this was the first time in a day, it seemed that everything was so sudden, which made the unsuspecting her at a loss and caught off guard.

Returning to the imperial capital, returning to the imperial palace, this is the goal she has been looking forward to and desperately for, but I don't know why, at this moment, some resistance arises from the bottom of her heart, as if what the imperial capital is waiting for her to return is not who warmly embraces, but another turmoil, a conspiracy that extends from here and has not yet ended.
