The day before Ke Yongzhao went to see An Huai, he came to see Li Shengxian first.

Strictly speaking, it was Li Shengxian who summoned him. Li Shengxun sat on the main seat, she glanced at Liujin beside her, and Liujin took a plate of things to him.

"General Ke, take a good look." Liujin smiled slightly, and was generous.

Ke Yongzhao didn't understand what she meant, but he still looked at it carefully, and Fang turned a few pages,

He had always known about the smuggling case in Hongyin, and when he first heard about it, he was shocked.

However, he didn't expect that this matter would involve Xiaoshan Water Gorge, and Xiao Mountain Water Gorge has always been a place that he patrols.

"Your Highness. The last general will be loyal to the country, and the sun and the moon can be seen. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the last general, and I hope that His Highness will learn from it." Ke Yongzhao immediately knelt on the ground.

"But it did happen within your jurisdiction, and you have no shirk of responsibility." Li Shengxing's face was pale, and he couldn't see her emotions.

"That's true...... The last general may be derelict in his duties, but he has no disobedience to it, and I ask His Highness to believe in the last general." Ke Yongzhao frowned, if this matter can be involved in Xiao Shanshuixia, it must have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't intend to shirk his responsibility, but he is afraid that His Highness in front of him will misunderstand him and arrest him, so that the real murderer will go unpunished, which will cause a catastrophe.

"You don't have to be so anxious to swear by the sky. If I had doubted you, you would be in prison at this moment, and not in your mansion." Li Shengxian shook her head, she pointed to the booklet in Ke Yongzhao's hand, "You flip through it again."

Ke Yongzhao followed as he said, and continued to read in the back, it was indeed someone who was hiding from him, and under his command, secretly Chen Cang released water to the Xirong people.

Every time he turned the back page, his face sank a little. If this matter leaks out, no one will be able to protect him.

To be able to do this in his hand, a name already vaguely appeared in his mind.

Only An Huai can do so much in his hands and not be noticed by him.

"The matter has come to this point, and the evidence is almost conclusive here, why does His Highness not doubt the last general?" Although Ke Yongzhao was glad that Li Shengxian did not doubt him, he was still puzzled.

"It was originally suspicious." Li Shengxi did not hide it, she continued: "It's just that after entering Xizhou, I felt more and more that something was wrong."

"For example."

"A lot, like, you're very poor."

Ke Yongzhao: "......"

Unexpectedly, it was because of his poverty that he was saved from suspicion.

"That's one of the many reasons." Li Shengxing chuckled lightly, and asked someone to show him something, "Do you remember that I was assassinated when I entered the city?"

Ke Yongzhao nodded.

"I sent someone to find out the origin of those assassins, and it was a coincidence that it had nothing to do with you."

Ke Yongzhao: "......"

"It's just that these small means can be concealed from others, but they can't stay in the present, stay in the present to check the weapons, check the clothes, and find out the steward of your house. And that steward, who is your wife's dowryman, has been driven by An Huai for a long time, and has done a lot of things with your money. Now, do you know why you're so poor?"

Ke Yongzhao: "......"

I didn't know what to say for a while.

"After finding out here, I suspected An Huai, so I asked Liujin to check on him, and it would be terrible to check it out. He does have some means, but he is no match for the present. He has been releasing water to Xirong for a long time, and smuggling is rampant in Northern Qi, but he has made a lot of efforts. But before that, it was just a matter of turning a blind eye and releasing water to the two places. When he fights Xijon on weekdays, he is also ruthless. I don't know why this time, but it shows that sending someone to assassinate me will make Sun Jie trapped, and maybe it has something to do with him."

"Although the smuggling matter seems to be mutually beneficial, it is actually harmful to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it is a matter of returning to the roots of the Northern Qi Dynasty. An Huai's father died at the hands of Qi people, and he resented Qi people, although it was rebellious, but it was also reasonable. And now that he has assassinated His Royal Highness, Litong Xirong, it is a real rebellion, and the last general can't figure it out. It won't be because he acted barely,

and the Sijon people noticed it, and coerced it into doing so." Ke Yongzhao shook his head.

"Is that all there is to it?" Li Shengxi's eyes darkened slightly, "Could it be that if this matter is exposed, it will be worse than his fate of defecting to Xirong?"

This matter has been exposed, at best, it is exile, and there is going to be a Northern Expedition, if there is manpower to protect him, he may be able to offset the merits, why not take refuge in Xirong?

Could it be that if he takes refuge in Xijon, he will end well? That is Xijon, who is cruel by nature and slaughters cities at every turn. An Huai, as a famous general of the Southern Jin Dynasty, took refuge in Xirong, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not end well.

If the East Window incident happens, the suffering of the Nine Clans is inevitable. Even if there is no East Window incident, he helps Xirong enter the customs, and what awaits him is either the counterattack and torture of the Xirong people, or the complaints and denunciations of the people. The three surnamed slaves have always been shameful.

Is he the only one left in their family? He was able to ignore it.

Ke Yongzhao was silent.

"No matter what the reason is, if you and I only discuss it, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out." Li Shengxing shook his head.

"I don't know if Your Highness told the last general about this matter before today, but there are other things that need the last general's service." Ke Yongzhao took a breath, if it weren't for the fact that there was something he needed to help do, as soon as such a thing came out, Li Shengxi should have taken An Huai down directly, instead of coming here to talk to him about this.

"Of course, there is." Li Shengxing nodded.

The reason why she didn't take An Huai directly was because there was a Rongzhi by her side, if she rashly made a move on An Huai, maybe An Huai would reverse black and white, and it would be a big mistake. The second reason is that An Huai is different from Hongyin's hundred officials, even if those people have cultivated party henchmen for a long time, they are also civil officials, even if they are deep-rooted, they can be easily swept clean. But An Huai is a military general, he has prestige and cronies, and even raised a private soldier, to deal with him, a careless, it is easy to cause a mutiny in the border army. The third reason is that if you keep your peace of mind, you can also better control the situation of Xirong.

If you take An Huai now, you will be startled. Although facing Xijon head-on, it may not be impossible to win. But if you can win with fewer troops, why refuse?

"I heard that you want to learn Taizong, Qingjun's side?" Li Shengxian tilted his head and smiled.

Ke Yongzhao: "...... Your Highness Mingjian, the last general did not accept it."

Li Shengxi controls the internal guards, like an arm command, how does she know these words, he doesn't want to know.

"Don't be afraid, I want you to accept him." Li Sheng's eyes are lowered, his aura is noble, and he is not angry and arrogant.
