Chapter 4: He Didn't Believe Her

After capturing Dugusheng, the prince of Dayan, Dayan agreed to negotiate peace. Because of the Prince Yan as a hostage, Da Yan accepted almost all the terms, declared himself a vassal to Da Wei, paid tribute every year, and so on.

The peace document was sent back to the capital in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and the emperor could return to Beijing after his instructions.

Xiao Siyu hasn't been out of the camp much since the last time, and any instructions are also conveyed by Chen Shi.

Ye Nian was helpless, if he wanted to hide like this, then his arrow was not in vain!

This battle rescued Xiao Siyu, so even if Zhao Mocheng's plan failed, the general's mansion was finally safe!

But if you can use this to make friends with Xiao Siyu, then the General's Mansion will naturally be more dependent in the future!

Ye Nian walked to the front of Xiao Siyu's camp, and Chen Shi saluted respectfully before going in to report.

After a while, Chen Shi walked out with an embarrassed face: "General Ye is considerate, His Royal Highness is busy with official business, let the little general go back and rest first, and then go over to discuss when he is done."

Ye Nian chuckled: "This war has ended, peace has been discussed, what other official business does Your Highness have to be busy with, why don't you let me, as a colleague, share the burden?" ”

Chen Shi glanced at the tent and muttered a little, the master instructed him to go to the military doctor every day to inquire about the little general's injuries, this person is here, why don't you want to see it?

Seeing that the tent was silent for a long time, Ye Nian sighed and said, "Your Highness, it's about the battle of Wushiling, do I go in or you come out?"

After a while, I heard a voice from the camp: "Let her in!" ”

After Ye Nian entered, Xiao Siyu leaned on the couch and held a military book in his hand, without raising his head, "In the battle of Wushiling, what is General Ye's opinion?" ”

"Anyway, I also blocked an arrow for His Highness, don't you even give a seat?"

Xiao Siyu chuckled, put down the military book, and slowly stood up.

"This palace is rude, don't blame General Ye!"

After Ye Nian sat down, he went straight to the point: "Doesn't Your Highness think that the middle of Wushiling is too coincidental?" ”

Xiao Siyu took a sip of tea indifferently: "This palace thinks that General Ye Xiao's appearance is more coincidental. ”

Ye Nian was stunned: "Your Highness is suspicious of me?" ”

Xiao Siyu's face remained unchanged, and he chuckled: "General Ye Xiao is too worried, this palace is just curious, how do you know that there is an ambush in Wushiling?" ”

Xiao Siyu's inquiring gaze fell on her bloodless face, and Ye Nian lowered his head and was silent, unable to justify.

Xiao Siyu's eyes darkened for a moment, and his tone was slightly cold: "Before the army set out, Ye Zhao was suddenly assassinated and wounded, Shen Bingwen, the prime minister of the left, and Zhao Mocheng, the head of the household department, strongly recommended to the emperor that you should replace Ye Zhao to lead the troops, does General Ye Xiao think that you are also a little coincidental to go with me this time?" ”

Ye Nian's fingers tightened, her heart was sour, and the guilt made the corners of her eyes red.

The day before the expedition, her father was injured and waited at the gate of Shangshu Mansion for a few hours, but she did not take a step out of the hospital...

Xiao Siyu couldn't see her lowered eyes clearly: "General Ye Xiao has nothing to say?" ”

"If I am a traitor, why should I rush to Wushiling alone to suffer this arrow for you?"

"Before the little general fainted, he said that he wanted the favor of the palace, so you might as well talk about it, how can you return the palace if you want it?"

"I want His Highness to promise to protect the General's Mansion!"

Xiao Siyu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't respond.

"After returning to Beijing, I can still convince my father to help the third prince fulfill his wish!"

Xiao Siyu laughed: "What is the wish of this palace, do you know?" ”

"Why should Your Highness pretend to be confused with me, I intend to show goodwill, Your Highness is willing to agree?"

"If you want to be friendly with this king, the sincerity of the little general is not enough!" Xiao Siyu leaned on the armrest, his tone slightly cold.

Ye Nian thought that he was still worried about knowing that Wushiling had an ambush.

"General Ye Xiao loves Zhao Mocheng very much, after marrying him, he even drew a line with Ye Zhao, is he willing to do anything for him?"

He almost uttered the words 'collaborating with the enemy and treason'.

"Third prince, I have my troubles, and you may not believe some things you say."

"If you don't say it, how do you know that this palace doesn't believe it!"

"If I say that I dreamed that there was an ambush in Wushiling, would you believe it?"

Xiao Siyu squirted out a mouthful of tea, Ye Nian put down the hand that was blocking his face, and looked at Xiao Siyu a little speechless.

Xiao Siyu covered his lips and coughed so much that his face was red, and he didn't care about any demeanor, so he raised his hand and pointed behind his back.

Ye Nian raised his eyebrows, but still got up and walked behind Xiao Siyu and patted him lightly on the back.

She couldn't help but mutter, "Is my words so ridiculous?" ”

After a moment, Xiao Siyu eased up and replied in a dumb voice: "There should be a place for General Ye Xiao among the gentlemen who set up stalls on the long street of the capital!" ”

Ye Nian's face darkened, and he glared at him quietly, but his hand was unconsciously forced, and Xiao Siyu, who was patting, turned around and grabbed her wrist.

"If you have an opinion about this palace, just say it, and then shoot it and call the following offenders!"

Looking at Ye Nian's tense face holding back his anger, Xiao Siyu withdrew his hand and coughed lightly twice to hide the smile on the corner of his lips.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think of the battle of Wushiling?"

Ye Nian completely lost her temper with Xiao Siyu, she took a deep breath and endured it.

"I thought it was a lack of time for His Highness's previous defeats, but the battle of Wushiling made me think that there must be a traitor in the camp!"

Xiao Siyu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Who does General Ye think is suspicious?" ”

"I haven't asked about military affairs for three years, but I vaguely remember that the last commander of the Longwei Army was Xuanping Marquis Han Wei, who was the elder brother of the empress of the dynasty and the uncle of the fourth prince, right?"

Xiao Siyu nodded.

"Han Wei has been in charge of the Longwei army for more than ten years, and there is no shortage of his cronies in the army, if His Royal Highness loses this battle and the border is in an emergency, first, Han Wei may take this opportunity to regain control of the Longwei army commander's seal, and secondly, His Royal Highness has no light in front of the emperor, which is of great benefit to the four princes!"

Xiao Siyu's eyes flashed with a touch of appreciation, Ye Zhao was injured before the expedition, and many people in the court said that Han Wei was the best candidate, and even his father was shaken...... She was right!

Is she really as simple as she has been investigating in the past three years?

"Although the war is over, His Highness has a lot of time to think about who proposed the ambush plan in Wushiling!"

"Do you suspect the deputy general Zhao Du?"

"It was indeed Zhao Du who proposed to set up an ambush in Wushiling that day, and there were not many generals in the camp to discuss, but there was no time to leak secrets."

Xiao Siyu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Do you know that you suspect my people?" ”

Ye Nian's face was shocked, a little incredulous.

"General Ye Xiao, does you know that your husband, Zhao Mocheng, is a member of the Four Princes?"

Seeing that her face was shocked again, Xiao Siyu covered her lips and held back a smile, she was really stunned!

Ye Nian's face was a little frustrated after being surprised, Xiao Siyu's big tree was destined to be unhugged!

"Your Highness doesn't believe me, just because I'm Zhao Mocheng's wife,"

"Have you ever thought that this Longyu Pass is something I came willingly?"

Xiao Siyu leaned on the table and looked at her, and was silent for a long time.

Ye Nian couldn't see through what he was thinking, only when he still had doubts about himself.

"Everything that should be said has been said, it doesn't matter if Your Highness doesn't believe me, fortunately, the war is over, fortunately, you are safe and sound."

Ye Nian got up and walked outside the camp, and Xiao Siyu's somewhat muffled voice came from behind him.

"I just want to ask you, if you go back to three years ago, would you still be willing to marry him?"

Ye Nian turned to look at him.

"If you go back to three years ago, would you like to look back?"

Ye Nian's face was a little surprised, but she didn't realize that Xiao Siyu meant something.

After a while, she lowered her eyes and smiled: "An old man once said, I can't look at men's eyes, he is extremely unreliable, but only this one thing is right." ”
