Rongcheng Mansion.

Zhao Mocheng hurried out, one foot just stepped onto the saddle, his brows tightened, and he retracted his foot.

He looked and looked in the direction where the army was stationed, and his face was full of joy, worry, and uneasiness, and little by little dispersed.

"My lord, are you still going?"

He shook his head, his gaze still falling in that direction.

"Qin Shang, you stay here, if... When you see her, report me as soon as possible. ”

Qin Shang hurriedly responded, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Zhao Mocheng retracted his gaze, sighed lightly, and turned back to the mansion.

Qin Shang stayed outside the palace for less than an hour, and first General Kong took two teams of soldiers to the prison.

A moment later, he saw two fast horses galloping from a distance!

It's getting closer......

Without waiting for anyone to stop, Qin Shang strode towards the palace!

His panicked appearance naturally fell into the eyes of the two.

Ye Nian reined in the horse, turned over and jumped down neatly.

The official hurriedly trotted over and took the reins from the two.

Before she could lift her steps, Zhao Mocheng had already rushed to the door.

"Ah Nian..." Before the words fell, his eyes were already red, his face was a forbearant smile, and his eyes were full of longing.

Ye Nian nodded at him and smiled: "Lord Zhao is okay?" ”

A sentence of Lord Zhao, endless alienation.

Zhao Mocheng's expression froze, lowered his eyebrows, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Xiao Jin looked impatient, grabbed Ye Nian's wrist and strode in.

When he passed by Zhao Mocheng, his tone was slightly cold: "Lord Zhao should be busy, this king and General Ye still have important matters, and they don't have time to talk about the past." ”

***

When Ye Nian and Xiao Jin came out of death row, they saw Kong Ruilin and Zhu Fu waiting outside.

"Why is General Zhu here?"

Zhu Fu clenched his fists and replied: "As soon as the last general finished inspecting the city defense, he wanted to come over to see if this Tong Yangping could confess." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jin had some disdain on his face: "Hmph! It's foolish to want to negotiate a deal with this king! ”

He threw his sleeves away, Zhu Fu's eyes flashed slightly, and Ye Nian was speechless on the side.

That night, in the main hall of the mansion, Xiao Jin sat on it, and Zhu Fu had just crossed the threshold.

"Take it!"

Kong Ruilin stepped forward and pressed Zhu Fu to the ground!

"Let go of me! Why arrest me! Zhu Fu shouted, struggling desperately.

"Tong Yangping has already confessed, saying that he was instructed by you."

Zhu Fu sneered: "I want to add to the crime!" Ben was going to confront him face to face! ”

Xiao Jin and Ye Nian glanced at each other and frowned slightly.

Zhu Fu looked at their expressions in his eyes: "Don't you dare? I was going to present the emperor, you and this woman were plotting to frame loyal ministers and good generals! ”

Kong Ruilin saw that he didn't cry when he saw the coffin, his hands tightened, and Zhu Fu screamed in pain.

"Why the hell did you go to death row today?"

Zhu Fu shouted: "I suspect that it was you who instructed Tong Yangping, and I went because I was not at ease!" ”

Kong Ruilin was so angry that his subordinates increased their strength: "The thief shouted to catch the thief!" ”

"General Kong!" Xiao Jin glanced at Kong Ruilin reproachfully.

"Let him go!" Ye Nian said.

Zhu Fu rubbed his arm and stood up from the ground.

"This is Tong Yangping's confession, which explains in detail how he was instructed by you to delay the military rations!"

"Humph! It's your fake! He's clear..."

Zhu Fu stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong with him? General Zhu didn't even look at it and knew that it was a forgery? ”

Zhu Fu took a few deep breaths and calmed down, Tong Yangping is dead, these people just want to deceive themselves!

Zhu Fu sneered: "General Ben is innocent, what's so good about the forged confession?" ”

Xiao Jin held his head and laughed, and Zhu Fu broke out in a cold sweat on his back inexplicably.

"Didn't General Zhu want to confront Tong Yangping face to face? This king is approved! ”

Zhu Fu didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd, and it wasn't until Tong Yangping was brought to the hall by Ji Hao that Zhu Fu's face turned pale with shock!

Ye Nian and Xiao Jin glanced at each other, and both of them had a little smugness in their eyes: this trick is really tried and tested!

Tong Yangping knelt on the ground and no longer had the previous calculations.

He originally planned to wait and see and then decide how to save his life: if Xiao Jin died in battle, then he could easily retreat, and if he triumphed, then he would avoid the important and lightly explain to the people behind the scenes for a safe family!

But when he learned that the death row prisoner who had changed cells with him last night was poisoned to death, he suddenly realized that Zhu Fu had already given up on himself!

After Tong Yangping explained, "Does General Zhu have anything to say?" ”

Zhu Fu's heart was like ashes, he took off the saber in his waist and threw it on the ground, "There is nothing to say." ”

"Does General Zhu have a grudge against this king?"

Zhu Fu shook his head.

"Since there is no personal enmity, why don't you remember the emperor's grace and disregard the safety of your family and country to do such a rebellious thing?"

Zhu Fujing stood silent.

Xiao Jin got up and said, "But was it instructed by someone? If you can tell who is behind the scenes, this king can allow your family to be safe! ”

Zhu Fu had some pain on his face, thought for a moment, lowered his eyes and said: "No one instructs, Zhu is confused for a while, and he is at his disposal." ”

Ye Nian said coldly: "Your Highness, according to military regulations, this person can be beheaded!" Report to the imperial court, and punish the nine clans! ”

Kong Ruilin felt some regret on his face, but he didn't open his mouth to plead.

Xiao Jin stood with his hands in his hands, and opened his mouth after a while: "This king knows that General Zhu Fu looks down on this king, and he doesn't recognize this king as the commander of the army in his heart. ”

Zhu Fu's face was expressionless, and Xiao Jin walked down to pick up his saber.

"When Rongcheng was dying, except for the death row prisoners, most of the other prisoners volunteered to join the city defense army after being pardoned. Even a prisoner has a heart to guard, a person to guard, this king believes that General Zhu Fu also has it! ”

Zhu Fu finally had an expression on his face, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jin.

"This king gives you two choices, one is to cut yourself,"

Xiao Jin said and threw the saber in his hand to Zhu Fu, and Zhu Fu instinctively raised his hand to catch it.

"The second is to kill the enemy, after defeating Shang Liao, this king will behead you again!"

Xiao Jin looked at Zhu Fu: "No matter which one you choose, this king will allow you to be guilty of not being able to sin your family!" ”

Zhu Fu's face went from surprise to disbelief, and finally gratitude, he gritted his teeth, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down: "Sin will choose the second kind!" ”

Even Kong Ruilin was a little impressed with Xiao Jin at this time!

Ye Nian had a smile on his face, and looked at Xiao Jin with appreciation: Stinky boy, there is you!

After everyone retreated, Ye Nian just got up and was about to leave with Xiao Jin, but Zhao Mocheng, who had been watching without saying a word, stopped her.

"Ah Nian, it's better for you to live in the mansion, the military camp will still be a little inconvenient."

Without waiting for Ye Nian to speak, Xiao Jin was unhappy.

"What's inconvenient? Her tent is next door to the king, which is very convenient! ”

"King Chu!" Zhao Mocheng looked at him coldly, "She is a woman, and she is already married, please take care of her name!" ”

"Yo! Lord Zhao, have you forgotten how she was sent to Longyuguan by you last year? She wasn't a woman then? Not married? ”

Zhao Mocheng was speechless for a moment.

"Smack!" Outside the door came the sound of broken porcelain.

A figure flickered and disappeared in a hurry.

Ye Nian only glanced back and knew who it was.

She smiled and declined: "Thank you Lord Zhao for your kindness, Ye Nian is indeed inconvenient to live in the mansion as a general!" It's not early, Lord Zhao and Mrs. Zhao should also rest and say goodbye! ”

After speaking, she glanced at Xiao Jin, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Jin immediately happily followed her and left the mansion.

The morning sun is slightly dewy.

Xiao Jin and Ye Nian sat side by side on the protective wall of Rongcheng, looking at the magnificent and solemn mountains stretching outside the pass, both of them were a little moved.

"Does the third brother know that you are coming to Rongcheng?"

Ye Nian shook his head and nodded again: "I'll always know." ”

Xiao Jin looked at her: "Can I tell him?" ”

Ye Nian smiled: "Whatever you want." ”

Xiao Jin looked at the side face with the corners of her lips slightly raised, she had never felt so happy in her life as she did at this moment.

He leaned sideways on her shoulder: Ah Nian, thank you, you can be by my side at this moment.
