When Ye Feng and Lord Zhou walked into the barracks, the tragic pride of "although tens of millions of people are gone" in his chest in front of the gate of Lanzhou City was gone at this moment.

At the request of the sergeant of the barracks, they left their horses outside the gate, followed the sergeant who led the way, and walked to the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this moment, the barracks were full of troops, and the various camps were gathering troops, and it seemed that they would be ready to go to war at any time, and there was a tense atmosphere of slaughter. Those bright swords and guns are shining everywhere, and the battle flags are fluttering and rolling, all revealing a murderous feeling.

What frightened Ye Feng the most was the soldiers who hurriedly passed by, there seemed to be no emotion in their eyes, some were just a kind of fanaticism and anticipation for the upcoming battle, a desire that was almost bloodthirsty, this was not like human eyes, but like a hungry beast.

Ye Feng felt that as long as the commander gave an order, this army could immediately step on all obstacles in front of him and kill all the creatures in front of him, this was an iron-blooded army like steel, and it was also a ruthless machine that made killing!

In the face of such a beast-like army, Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but start to worry deeply about the people in Lanzhou City who had not yet felt the danger and were still immersed in a peaceful and peaceful life.

It wasn't until he walked into the Chinese army's tent that Ye Feng was really taken aback.

The layout in the big tent of the Chinese army is very simple and hurried, but it looks orderly and exceptionally neat. Behind the tall handsome case, there stood a heroic young general with a face like a crown of jade, dressed in military uniform, looking at him with a smile.

If it weren't for the fact that his eyebrows and facial features were still somewhat similar to when he was a child, Ye Feng would almost not believe that the heroic young general in front of him would be the same person as the one who was on the streets of the capital back then, yelling at Ye Feng and bullying others, like a scoundrel, and picking provocations and brawls against Ye Feng and them, Song Hu, the little marquis of Xining!

Ye Feng and Zhou Ziran, the prefect of Lanzhou, first saluted to see the little marquis, and after Song Hu returned the salute, he ordered his subordinates to hurry up and watch the tea on the seat, and walked forward generously, grabbing Ye Feng's hand.

His face was full of joy, and he said in a loud voice: "It's very happy to have friends from afar, I can't imagine that in this northwest borderland, there can still be an old man from the past to see Benhou, it's really gratifying!"

He took Ye Feng's hand like an old friend who had been reunited for a long time and shook it vigorously, laughing.

Ye Feng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, where are they friends, they are obviously enemies with old grudges.

But he still had to smile on his face and said, "It turns out that the little marquis still remembers it." ”

Song Hu said with a smile: "Remember, just now they came to report that your Ye Gongzi had visited, and Ben Hou immediately remembered it, together with your three good brothers, and thanks to your gift to Ben Hou back then, for more than ten years, Ben Hou never dared to forget, never dared to forget! Haha!"

Although he was smiling, Ye Feng clearly saw him

A look of resentment and hatred flashed in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, the little marquis is now a concubine, and he is in charge of the army, it is really not what it used to be. ”

Song Hu looked a little surprised, he smiled and kept staring at Ye Feng's eyes, and only after a while did he suddenly let go of his hand, and laughed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Ye Gongzi, please take a seat." ”

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the back of the handsome case, and sat on his head.

After Ye Feng took a seat, a sergeant brought tea, and in order to calm down his mood, Ye Feng took two sips.

The tea is a good tea, fragrant and refreshing, presumably brought by the little marquis from the capital, I can't imagine that in the military camp in the northwest border, you can still drink such good tea.

Song Hugao sat behind the handsome case, looked at Ye Feng coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Gongzi came to the Benhou military camp with the prefect Zhou early this morning, presumably not just to visit Benhou, an old friend who has not been seen for a long time, right?"

Ye Feng nodded, and said loudly: "I can't hide it, we are here for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Lanzhou City, please take pity on these creatures!"

Song Hu rolled his eyes and looked incomprehensible: "What does Ye Gongzi mean by this?"

Ye Feng asked: "Dare to ask the little marquis, suddenly led an army of 20,000 and came to Lanzhou City in the starry night, what did he do?"

Song Hu snorted and said: "Ben Hou heard that Ma Jing, the prison commander of Lanzhou Qin, was poisoned and assassinated by others, and he is here to seek justice for Master Ma!"

Ye Feng's voice sank: "Who do you want justice from?"

Song Hu said categorically: "Su Wang Zhu Ao!"

Ye Feng-for-tat: "But His Royal Highness King Su is not the one who poisoned him, and it has now been ascertained that it was a captain of the guard beside Master Ma who poisoned him." ”

Song Hu also refused to give an inch of land: "It may not be him who poisoned him, but he is the one behind the scenes!"

Ye Feng patted the table in front of him: "Nonsense, what evidence does the little marquis have?"

Song Hu also immediately took the case, and the sound shook the house: "I have heard that Ye Gongzi's ability to investigate the case is unparalleled in the world, so you should come up with evidence to make Ben Hou believe that he Zhu Ao is not the mastermind!"

Ye Feng was speechless for a while, evidence? He really didn't have any evidence, everything was just an inference.

Besides, can he still accuse Song Hu of designing poisoning himself in Song Hu's big tent, in order to frame Su Wang Zhu Ao?

The fierce argument between the two of them, coupled with slapping each other's table, scared the prefect Zhou who was sitting on the side enough, and he was afraid that the two of them would turn their faces, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Little Hou Ye is angry, Ye Gongzi should not be excited, let's talk slowly if we have something to say." ”

Song Hu didn't pay attention to Lord Zhou at all, he looked at Ye Feng and seemed speechless, and said, "You can't show evidence, can you?" Okay, you don't have evidence, but Benhou has it here!"

He turned his head to the tent and shouted, "Someone!"

This

The sound made Lord Zhou tremble, thinking that he was going to make a move.

But I saw a sergeant walking in outside the tent, holding a tray in his hand, on which was covered with a cloth towel, and I don't know what was covered underneath.

Song Hu walked down the handsome case, came to Ye Feng, reached out and tore off the covered cloth towel, and said loudly: "This is Ben Hou's evidence!"

The cloth towel was torn open, and Ye Feng and Lord Zhou were suddenly shocked!

On the tray, it turned out to be a human head that looked to have just been cut off and was still bloody!

This person Ye Feng and Lord Zhou both knew him, and he was the captain of the guard who disappeared mysteriously and was identified as the person who poisoned Ma Jing.

Ye Feng sighed in his heart, just an hour ago, in Ma Jing's mansion, he still confidently deduced that this person must have fled to Song Hu's military camp at this moment.

Unexpectedly, he is not only here, but also has a different head.

It's so fast, it's really poisonous! This only human witness was also killed, Ye Feng sighed in his heart, and it seemed that he was one step behind.

The head's eyes were wide open, as if he had not believed that his master would kill him until death.

In fact, if he had been smart, he would have thought of this ending a long time ago. Once unfaithful is not used for a lifetime, the person who betrays the Lord and seeks glory will never get real trust, and if he betrays the first time, it is naturally possible to betray the second and third times, so once there is no use value, such a tragic ending is inevitable.

This truth is very simple, but it is a pity that many people are confused by the immediate interests and cannot see through this.

Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of the two, Song Hu took out another document from his arms, shook it in front of them, and said with a smug face: "This is the confession of this thief, he has signed and drawn a charge, and it clearly states that he was bought by Su Wang Zhu Hao to poison Master Ma Jingma, the evidence is conclusive, is Ye Gongzi credible?"

Ye Feng sneered in his heart, everyone is dead, just make a confession and reverse black and white, pointing to the deer as a horse, who would believe this?

He asked slowly: "The little marquis has no holy decree and moves the army privately, which is already a big sin in itself. If once the war starts, the lives will be ruined, after all, His Royal Highness King Su is the emperor's brother, and he is inseparable, once there is any mistake, can you afford to be offended?"

Song Hu snorted disdainfully and said: "Now I have evidence in hand, Su Wang Zhu Ao poisoned and murdered the court officials, and after the defeat, he mutinied and hijacked the Ma Jian Army, intending to control the Black Armor Guard, and plotting against him. ”

"Lanzhou and the border pass are dependent on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Ben Hou just made a quick decision, and the soldiers were fast, and before he had time to play, he immediately led the army to quell the rebellion. King Su led the rebels to hold the city and resisted stubbornly, so Benhou was forced to attack the city, and finally the jade was burned. What's wrong with that?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel funny when he heard him talk to himself: "And what about Master Ma Jingma, will he be in the same boat with you and lie to you afterwards?"

Song Hu smiled coldly and said: "Since Lord Ma was held hostage by King Su, he was naturally killed by the rebels when the city was broken, and he was martyred. this

It is also another big sin of King Su. ”

Ye Feng was speechless when he heard this, and a chill rose in his heart, even Ma Jing was ready to kill him, so those like the prefect Zhou in Lanzhou City, as well as Ye Feng, who knew the inside story, naturally would not leave any of them alive. I'm afraid that he is simply preparing to slaughter the city after it is broken!

What a vicious strategy!

Ye Feng stared at Song Hu and asked slowly, "With such a willful obsession, do you really believe that the death of the old marquis is related to His Royal Highness King Su?"

Song Hu's face replied expressionlessly: "This is a family matter of Benhou, there is no need to talk about Ye Gongzi, right?"

Ye Feng had no choice but to ask, "Do you think the emperor will definitely believe your words?"

Song Hu looked at Ye Feng, his eyes revealing a kind of regret and helplessness: "Do you think it still matters whether the emperor believes it or not? Do you really think that the emperor loves this brother of his so much?"

He sighed faintly and said: "In fact, the reason why the emperor sent Ma Jing to lead the black armor guard to Lanzhou to supervise the army has already shown that the emperor feels uneasy about his brother's growing presence in the northwest over the years. ”

"Coupled with the death of my father, there is no one in the northwest border who can no longer balance this prince, so the emperor will send this marquis to take charge of the military affairs in the northwest, and let Ma Jing be stationed in Lanzhou to monitor the actions of Zhu Ao, the king of Su. ”

"The power and prestige of King Su Zhu Ao in the northwest have long far exceeded the control of the imperial court, and the military and people of Lanzhou know that there is a king of Su but do not know that there is a court. The emperor didn't care whether King Su really wanted to rebel, but worried that he could rebel at any time when he wanted to, which was the most terrifying. ”

Song Hu slowed down his speech, with a smug expression on his face: "What Ben Hou is doing now is just clearing a piece of the emperor's heart, just doing what the emperor wants to do but is inconvenient." ”

He looked at Ye Feng with a smile on his face: "Do you think the emperor will choose to believe in Ben Hou or not?"

These words made Ye Feng speechless.

is worthy of being a concubine of the dynasty, worthy of being the person around the emperor, and he actually figured out the emperor's thoughts so thoroughly, which really impressed Ye Feng.

However, Ye Feng's heart still did not waver at all, for the sake of the innocent His Royal Highness King Su, for the brothers and friends in Lanzhou City, and for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people, he also chose to continue to fight with Song Xiaohouye.

What's more, there is always a question in his heart, is the emperor's mind really so easy to figure out?
