Chapter 46: The Choice
Shout.... After Xiao Beichen swung his sword at the sneak attacker, he caught Yao Xuetang who was slowly falling with his hand, and instructed Meng Yu, who was following closely: "Clean up the mess and capture Liao Ao alive." ”
"Yes"....
The cold wind blew across the earth, and there were countless corpses everywhere as far as the eye could see, and the blood stains dissolved in the earth without a trace, as if it were a sign that no one would rest in peace on this night...."Lord"
"How?" Xiao Beichen walked out of the camp tent and said coldly.
"Liao Ao was caught, and the rest of the remnants were all killed, and King Qi is now interrogating the prisoners in the barracks, as for General Hui"
"Say!"
"General Hui is highly poisonous, I'm afraid"
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen frowned fiercely, tonight the enemy is attacking again and the goal is clear, obviously more than just revenge, although the head culprit has been caught, but it is very likely that the poisoner was not done by the same group of people, I believe that they have fallen into the huge trap of the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch behind....
"Lord, uh"
"Anything else?" Seeing his expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Xiao Beichen couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Yes, my subordinates just discovered Miss Song's traces during the pursuit."
"Wanwan? What about people?"
"The situation was urgent, and the subordinates didn't have time to catch up at that time, and Miss Song seemed to have come to kill Miss Yao. Lord, this"
"See the four princes, the second prince is invited"
Listening to the words of the people outside the account, Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he turned his head and whispered to Meng Yu: "This matter is not suitable for publicity, you should stay here and take care of Miss Yao first, and then make plans when I come back." ”
"Yes!"
"The fourth brother is here" Ji Qinian looked at Xiao Beichen who stepped in from outside, and the corners of his lips lightly smiled, and he had a sense of déjà vu that he had a chance to win....
"I don't know why the second prince called me?" He glanced around, and saw that he couldn't find Liao Ao's figure anywhere, and his heart sank, this person shouldn't be subdued, right?
"Fourth brother" Ji Qinian gently took out an object from the table, and after handing it to Xiao Beichen, he said sharply on the "facts" word by word: "Earlier, Liao Ao had admitted to this king that there were people who cooperated with him in order to enter the military camp so smoothly to sneak attack, and their purpose was very simple, that is, to take this area for themselves, and at the same time, they could also threaten the imperial court to negotiate conditions with them, so as to obtain a large number of abundant materials" After that, Ji Qinian glanced at Xiao Beichen, who seemed to be not in a state, and reminded: "Fourth brother, This person Liao Ao has also confessed, can you guess who it is? ”
"What, this person still has something to do with me?"
"Hehe, it's up to the fourth brother to admit it." Ji Qinian took out another confession order and said to it: "Song Wan! ”
"Second Prince" Xiao Beichen turned around and took a step forward at this time, threw the confession order back on the table, and sneered: "You don't think that just Liao Ao can convict a person at will just by opening his mouth, right?" Wouldn't that be too hasty? ”
"Of course, this king didn't believe it when he heard it at first time, but people's words are terrifying, the best way is to summon Miss Song to come over and confront Liao Ao face to face, if there is a misunderstanding, you can prove your innocence, fourth brother, what do you think?"
Oh, this season was waiting for him here, what a trick to draw salary, presumably Pei Ze knew what would become an abandoned son and be erased, right..... "Second Prince", without waiting for Xiao Beichen to reply, a soldier hurriedly came outside and replied: "There was a sneak attack by an assassin just now, and Liao Ao was rescued." ”
"What? How could it be that the whereabouts of the Assassins could be traced? ”
"Vice General Zhu has led people to chase him, and he has not been whereabouts for the time being."
"Report! The Second Prince"
Seeing that it was the soldiers from Huirong's side running over, Ji Qinian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, "But something happened to General Hui?" ”
"Back to the second prince, just when my subordinates went to check on General Hui's injuries, they found that he was no longer in the camp, and he disappeared out of thin air!"
"Bastard, how could a person with a lot of poison disappear on his own for no reason, how do you do things?"
"The second prince is angry, and his subordinates are guilty"
"A bunch of waste" Ji Qinian realized that something was not quite right, but he had to send the arrow on the string, he finally came to this point, and he couldn't have any deviation because of Huirong. "Pass the order, be sure to find Liao Ao and General Hui, once you find the traces of the assassin, there will be no mercy!"
"Yes!"
After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Beichen, who was extremely calm on the side, Ji Qinian's eyes narrowed, could it be that he arranged it? But is it possible, how could he know his plan, unless it was Yao Xuetang..... "Fourth brother, it seems that this "rat" is really difficult, you have to help this king clean up. ”
"Of course, don't worry, the second prince, I will go down and send additional manpower, and I will definitely find the whereabouts of the two of them."
"In this way, I will bother the fourth brother.....
"Lord"
"How are people?"
"I woke up earlier, and Aunt Liang is watching inside."
"Well, I see, let's go down."
"See the Four Princes"
"Excuse me!" Xiao Beichen stepped into the tent, and saw that the person on the bed seemed to have fallen asleep again, so he asked in a low voice: "Aunt Liang, how is her injury?" ”
"Returning to the fourth prince, Miss Yao's injury seems to be serious, but fortunately it did not hurt the root bones, but it is difficult to find precious medicinal materials and good imperial doctors to diagnose and treat it in this desolate place, so this injury.... Actually, it's hard to say. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen thought about it for a while, and already understood the meaning of her words, it seems that if he wants to completely cure Yao Xuetang, he can only go back to the capital.....
"King Qi, the person has been found."
"Where?"
"Vice General Zhu is escorting people back, and I believe it will arrive soon."
"Where's General Hui?"
"No news yet."
"Humph! Keep looking, and if you can't find your whereabouts before dawn, you'll see you! ”
"Yes, the subordinates will go down to investigate, and this will go down to investigate"
...........
When Song Wan was escorted back by Vice General Zhu, Xiao Beichen was still taking care of Yao Xuetang in the tent at all, completely ignoring what was happening here. When he reacted and arrived, Song Wan had already raised his sword and held Ji Qinian hostage and walked to the edge of the cliff....
"Stand back, don't come here, otherwise the sword has no eyes, be careful of the lives of your second prince"
"Song Wan, you are at the end of your rope, now that the evidence is conclusive, let go of the second prince quickly, maybe you can leave a whole corpse."
"Heh, Vice General Zhu, what does it mean that the evidence is conclusive?" Song Wan saw that they were still approaching step by step, and couldn't help but raise her sword and said fiercely: "If you take another step forward, it's a big deal that I will burn the jade with him, anyway, my Song Wan has a small life, and I am as noble as the second prince, how can I not lose!" ”
"Everyone stand back" Ji Qinian said coldly, and then whispered to Song Wan: "Miss Song, you are a smart person, you really don't need to come this far!" I promise you, as long as you confess your guilt, I will plead with my father after returning to Beijing, and the death penalty can be avoided, how about it? ”
"King Qi, you are really a good strategist!" remembered that the previous life was also the same life and death dilemma, but this time the roles of the two of them have changed, she is no longer passive, and she can finally no longer be restrained by him...."You say that I colluded with that Liao Ao, but there is really evidence?" Could it be that with those two false confession orders, dare to ask King Qi, will it be too difficult to convince the public? What's more, Liao Ao's traces have not been found so far, so he has to scribble the coffin to convict me, is there any imperial law? ”
"Song Wan, do you still dare to quibble?" When Vice General Zhu heard this, he said sharply to him: "When Liao Ao confessed, I was also present, and I clearly heard how the two of you cooperated in the sneak attack at night, and how you deceived the sky and the sea to kill all the brave and warlike soldiers!" Besides, when we were ordered to chase after Liao Ao, you happened to be nearby, how could there be such a coincidence, do you still want to cry out for injustice? ”
"Heh, how do I know that Vice General Zhu is not in the same group as that Liao Ao, and you deliberately set up this game just waiting for me to play the game?"
"You"
"Wanwan" Xiao Beichen rushed over when he heard the sound, looked at the current scene, and couldn't help but ask sharply: "What's the matter?" ”
"The fourth prince, you came just in time, this demon girl colluded with the enemy, and dared to hold the court officials hostage in public, and her crime can be punished!"
"Xiao Beichen, do you believe me?" After a long time, seeing that he did not answer, Song Wan was disappointed and said: "What a status of the fourth prince, I have opened my eyes today!" ”
"Miss Song" saw the scene of the two breaking up, Ji Qinian sneered in her heart, but there was still a look of regret on her face: "Since all kinds of evidence have pointed to you now, it is better for you to tie up as soon as possible, and you can get back to a decent end, isn't it?" ”
"Haha, King Qi's words are wrong!" A hoarse male voice sounded, everyone looked at it, and suddenly found that a figure was running from the south, it was the long-missing Liao Ao....
"Liao Ao!" Vice General Zhu was excited to go forward to arrest this heinous thief, but he was stopped by Xiao Beichen, "Vice General Zhu, slow down"
"Haha, Vice General Zhu is so anxious, what if I accidentally scratch the person in my arms with a trembling hand?"
Hearing this, everyone saw that he had also taken a person hostage, but he couldn't see his face clearly when he was covered by a cloak just now, and now he found out that it was..."Miss Yao? ”
"Four princes, save me, cough, cough, cough"
Seeing that her old injuries had not healed, in order to prevent aggravating the injuries, Xiao Beichen frowned and stepped forward and said coldly: "Let the person go, what are the conditions, say!" ”
"Good! The fourth prince is a cheerful person, so I won't be verbose" After that, Liao Ao moved to Song Wan's side, and then ordered loudly: "Everyone retreat to the barracks, prepare a carriage, and let Song Wan and me go." ”
Well? Song Wan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, this Liao Ao, she didn't look for him, he rushed to the door by himself, even so, don't blame her for using "waste"....
"Fourth prince, there is not much time for you to think about it, if it is a second late, I will not pity the jade!"
"Damn, demon girl, do you dare to say that you were wronged? Even if I lose my life today, I will avenge the souls of those 30,000 soldiers, and you don't want to leave alive! ”
"Fourth prince, cough cough, leave me alone, arrest, cough cough, it's important to arrest the prisoner."
Seeing this, Xiao Beichen glanced at Song Wan from afar, and then commanded behind him: "Everyone obeys" Seeing that his attention was attracted, he secretly made a gesture in the air, and an arrow broke through the air and stabbed Liao Ao's arm.... Just when he was stunned, Xiao Beichen immediately waved the jade sword with one hand, and quickly pulled Yao Xuetang over with the other. This sudden change caught everyone off guard, and only Vice General Zhu, who had been instructed, also chose to attack at the same time, and the target was Song Wan....
Burst... When she finally vomited a mouthful of blood, Song Wan raised her eyes to look at Yao Xuetang, who was protected by Xiao Beichen, and looked at Liao Ao, who was still struggling.... She burst out laughing cheerfully.
"What are you laughing at?" Ji Qinian looked at the woman suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Since the rebirth of "Ji Qinian", this is the first time that Song Wan has shouted out that name so closely, thinking of all the things that she carried for this name in her previous life, she couldn't help but have a feeling of being separated from the world, and knew in her heart that it was time to make a break this time, so she hurriedly left a sentence in his ear when the reinforcements came: "The mountains and rivers meet, you killed my enemy that day, and I will personally ask for your life in the future!" After that, without waiting for him to react, after using his sword to break the distance between Vice Zhu and them, he turned around and pulled Liao Ao to the side and jumped off the cliff behind him.....
