Chapter 19: Just One Step Away

Yan Moqi's face was a little heavy, he stood up and took a few steps back, his eyes turned to Xu Gao who was kneeling on the ground in the high hall, Xu Gao was swept away by his cold eyes, and his expression immediately panicked, and he knelt on the ground in a daze.

"General Xu Gao." Yan Moqi said to him.

At this time, the palace fell silent again, accompanied by the slightest heartbeat.

Li Ge looked at them, and from their eyes, he seemed to see a very strong *, and he secretly watched the show in his heart, and he didn't stop Yan Moqi from speaking.

"Minister...... Chen Zai ...... "Xu Gao's sturdy and tall body trembled slightly at this time.

Yan Moqi calmly walked to the center of the high hall, and was in front of Li Ge. Maybe he is used to being in power, maybe he is used to authority, and the meek and stable shell can't hide a very city ambition after all.

Li Ge, who was blocked behind, was a little puzzled, obviously he was the king, this kid actually dared to face me with his ass!

However, watching the drama seems to be more important than sulking.

"General Xu Gao, why did you want to forge this fold? What is the intention? Yan Moqi asked.

"Prince...... The snow disaster in this recital is indeed ...... Be...... It was experienced by his subordinates at the border. Xu Gao spit out word by word, and the loyalty of his appearance and the weakness of his eyes were completely like two people.

"Lie! General Xu Gao, aren't you still training soldiers in the barracks in the imperial city these days? Bilin walked up to him and said with his eyes wide open.

"You! How do you know I'm in the barracks? The Imperial City Military Camp is as secret as the training of soldiers, how did you know! Xu Gao looked up at him in surprise, and the eyes of the two were together, only to feel that the fire was full of fire, like a prelude to a storm.

"I ...... I guess. ”

Bi Lin shrank back to his original position, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"Okay, Bi Shangshu! Dare to peep at the military secret, do you know that this is a capital crime! As a first-class Shangshu, he inserted eyeliner to test the military situation, if he didn't want to rebel, he deliberately colluded with a small country to leak military secrets! Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly, this matter must not be tolerated! Xu Gao said eloquently, his face sonorous and calm.

"Why do you say I'm spying on the military? Is there any evidence? Bi Lin looked unconvinced.

"If you hadn't snooped, how would you know that I had been in the barracks for the past few days?"

"Don't have anything to say!"

Xu Gao seemed to grab his braids, and the corners of his mouth smiled proudly, but this smile was ...... He suddenly realized something, and his smile suddenly stiffened......

"General Xu Gao. How many days have you been in the Imperial City barracks? Su Geling walked up to him and waved a few soldiers in.

Several soldiers quickly took off his armor and uniforms, picked up iron cables and tied him to his body, and firmly pressed his head and hands into iron shackles.

"Su Yushi, what are you doing here?" His hands struggled, and his whole body trembled, but even if he was beaten with iron, the strength of Niu Da could not withstand this firm shackle!

"General Xu Gao knows it himself, right? Today is just one of the sins you've committed over the years. If you didn't expose it in the past, you remembered that you were glorious for the country, and at the same time, you couldn't find conclusive evidence. Su Geling's tone was cold, and his words were full of righteousness and awe.

Xu Gao glanced at Bi Lin next to him, and then at Su Geling, and suddenly understood in his heart that Shangshu had long been under the jurisdiction of the imperial history, and Bi Lin and Su Geling were the same faction!

"How did Xu Gao know this? I have always been above board, daring to do things. He was still unconvinced.

"Oh? Then let me tell you, put aside the past, and talk about the recent. In order to protect Your Majesty's safety, a poisonous arrow shot in the dark was shot at my chest, and the pattern engraved on the arrow was a unique mark arrow of the Chu Heavenly Kingdom's army! Also, I asked the head of the Yiyuan Palace to inspect it, and the medicine taken by the two people who sneaked into the Imperial History Room of the Yiyuan Palace to assassinate His Majesty was the Revenant Soul Pill that had been banned by Chu Tianguo for many years, and it just so happened that when the Ten Thousand Souls Pill was destroyed, it was handed over to you for supervision. ”

After Su Geling finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Li Ge sitting on the dragon chair in the high hall, and Li Ge was already stunned at this time.

His mouth was slightly open, and he looked confused.

"Why? Why do I stay with her every day, how I don't know so much is going on! Li Ge's eyes were dazed, and he suddenly sighed at Su Geling's IQ.

"This ...... This may be a coincidence......" Xu Gao was still unconvinced, but his face gradually became a little more frightened.

"It's certainly a coincidence! I am also a general who has guarded the border stiff for many years, and the first emperor was born and died in the war of resistance, and has repeatedly contributed to the Chutian country, although Su Yushi is a personal minister reused by His Majesty, but without His Majesty's permission, he tied me up and detained me without His Majesty's permission, I think the wise Emperor and Your Majesty will never let you this woman interfere in politics and act recklessly! For Su Yushi's slanderous words, I am not convinced! After speaking, he looked towards the high hall, his eyes seemed to be looking at Li Ge, and he seemed to be looking at Yan Moqi in front of Li Ge.

"Bold, this is the imperial concubine of the Chu Heavenly Kingdom!" Bilin yelled at him, one hand stretched out respectfully in the direction of Sugering.

Xu Gao's body trembled, his face went from being unconvinced at the beginning, to now slowly becoming panicked, and his facial features were wrinkled as if they were about to be squeezed together.

He hurriedly kowtowed, pulling Su Geling's dress with both hands, looking very pitiful, and the majesty of the usual general no longer existed at this time.

"Xu Gao has eyes and no beads, and he hopes that the imperial concubine will forgive ...... sins"

Sugering was silent.

He looked around again, and the palace minister's cold and calm face made his heart feel like ashes.

Knowing that his actions were exposed, he had no way out but to confess.

"The minister knew that the assassination was a capital crime, and the minister pleaded guilty and begged His Majesty, the princess and the prince to spare me, and the general's mansion...... Xu Gao knew that he was wrong, if he didn't help himself, he wouldn't dare to give me a few heads!! ”

His excited emotions were finally frightened by the word "capital crime", and he was a little struggling to kneel on the ground and kowtow when he pressed the shackles, but he still kept kowtowing.

As if grasping some important clue, Su Geling crouched down in front of him.

"You mean someone instructed you?" Eyes stared straight at him.

"Yes, this person is ......"

"Be careful!" Li Ge suddenly stood up and shouted, everyone's eyes shifted with the sound of falling to the ground, at this time Xu Gao's back had been stabbed by a sword, and the position was right to the heart, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground motionless.

Death is not blind.

There was an uproar in the palace, and the officials retreated to the side, huddled in a corner.

The person who killed him was the general who had just mixed in disguise, and the assassination in the silence was so sudden, Su Geling didn't expect the assassination to be so blatant!

Su Geling pulled out the sword at his waist and put it on the general's body, his unfamiliar face did not look like a palace person at all.

"Who are you?" He stood motionless as he swung his sword.

"Sugering, be careful!" Li Ge ran down in a hurry, only to see the assassin pick up his sword and suddenly stab himself in the abdomen with a backhand, and he fell to the ground expressionlessly.

"Damn! It's just one step away...... It's just one step away from knowing the mastermind behind the scenes. Su Geling's brows furrowed, he bit his lip and sighed deeply.
