Zhang Liang stood up with his hands raised, "Madam, how can you judge that Mr. Lu and Mr. Li are collaborating with the enemy based on the gain or loss of a piece of jade? This seems unreasonable. It may also be that the soldiers guarding the pass fled with the jade."

Lu Pheasant had already guessed that Zhang Liang would say this, "Mr. Zifang didn't know something. Yesterday at the foot of Xianyang City, Ziying asked Pei Gong himself, 'Why did the entry into the customs come earlier?' Doesn't this prove that there is something meticulous in the camp?"

"

Zhang Liang stood there dumbfounded, there was absolutely no way Zi Ying could know about this!

When Liu Bang arrived at Lantian Pass, anyone would think that Liu Bang was impatient to break into it. Ziying should think it was normal to break the pass today.

Is there really any detail involved?

Recently, only Lu Jia and Li Shiqi have met with outsiders.

"Impossible. Mr. Li came here in the name of Chen Liu to admire Duke Pei, and Mr. Lu has been living under Peigong's tent for a long time. They have no reason to collaborate with the enemy when they arrive in Xianyang. Wouldn't they be ruining their future? Besides, the six countries all hate Qin.

, why did they collude with Ziying?" Zhang Liang raised his head and looked into Lu Pheasant's eyes, hoping to see a trace of hesitation in them.

Unfortunately, no.

"Mr. Zifang, there is no need to explain to the two of us." Li Shiqi raised his head, his white hair hanging down his old face, looking a little desolate, "Pei Gong looked down on Confucian scholars from the bottom of his heart. Now that Lantian Pass has passed, the two of us have no

Value, this may be the reason why Madam is doubtful."

Lu Jia lowered his head and expressed regret, not convincing Yang Hu. He was willing to be punished after returning to the camp, but he did not expect such a result.

"Still quibbling!" Lu Zhi said angrily, "I never said that you two only colluded with Ziying, and you also colluded with Xiang Yu!"

Zhang Liang closed his eyes helplessly. Lu Pheasant was so suspicious that this situation could no longer be undone by him.

"Although Xiang Yu's Julu victory was over, the Hebei area was still not peaceful. Xiang Yu came all night regardless of Hebei. If someone hadn't sent a message, why was he in such a hurry?" Lv Zhi "analysed" and said, "Pei Gong is just the chief of the pavilion, and he only has men and horses in his hands.

It's only 20,000, but Xiang Yu is a wealthy family, controlling 400,000 horses. Now we have a great victory at Julu, do you two regret it?"

In Lv Zhi's mind, Li Shiqi and Li Shiqi first betrayed Liu Bang to Ziying, which blocked his entry into the Pass. Then they leaked the information to Xiang Yu, prompting Xiang Yu to enter the Pass first. Gaining Xiang Yu's appreciation was the ultimate goal.

"I regret it!" Li Shiqi sighed, "I should have stayed in Chenliu to study for the rest of my life, why would I have to trek all the way here and be misunderstood."

"If Pei Gong wants to kill me, I will take it." Lu Jiafu said.

Li Shiqi looked disdainful, "I have always behaved upright, but I can be called a crazy person, and I cannot be slandered as a meticulous worker. If you want to kill me for this, it is absolutely impossible!"

Xiao He couldn't stand it anymore, "Madam, there is no conclusive evidence, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to kill the hero arbitrarily."

"How did Governor Xiao explain Xiang Yu's overnight entry into the Pass?" Lu Pheasant asked.

"Xiang Yu wanted to become king as soon as possible, so he came overnight." Xiao He replied.

"How did Ziying know that our army entered the customs early?!" Lu Zhi pressed forward step by step. Yong Chi's incident also frightened her, and she would not let her rebel lightly this time.

"Zi Ying... Zi Ying thought our army entered the pass very late..." Xiao He really couldn't figure out Zi Ying's part, "It's just Zi Ying's words, why are we here?"

There were very few Confucian scholars in Liu Bang's camp, and most of them came from miscellaneous jobs. Li Shiqi and Lu Jia were the outliers among them. Even though they had meritorious service, they were always separated from others.

"Oh, it's really pitiful. Only Mr. Zifang and Governor Xiao interceded for the two of us out of the whole camp. It's okay if we don't come to such a big camp!" Li Shiqi stood up and walked towards the gate of the camp.

Fan Kuai flew to block the door, "Old man Li, is it too late to think about running away now?"

"Is Mr. Li going to Xianyang or Bashang?" Xia Houying sneered, "My ghost-headed sword hasn't killed a prisoner for a long time. I didn't expect Mr. Li to help me regain my old career today."

"Hahaha, I suddenly forgot that Commander Xiahou also worked as an executioner in his early years to make ends meet." Li Shiqi chuckled, "The person who wants to kill me must at least be a king and aristocrat. You bunch of local chickens and dogs are not worthy!

"

"Then I'm going to try it today!"

Xia Houying and Fan Kuai grabbed Li Shiqi's arms and tried to pull him out.

"Stop!" Lu Jia shouted.

Everyone in the camp looked at Lu Jia.

"Madam is right, I am the craftsman. Everything is done by me and has nothing to do with Mr. Li." Lu Jia stood up unsteadily.

"Lu Jia, you finally admitted it!" Lu Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Lu Jia! If a man dies, he will die. Why should I bear this stigma for my sake!" Li Shiqi shouted.

All the soldiers in the camp glared at Lu Jia, as if they had seen with their own eyes how Lu Jia betrayed Liu Bang. Liu Bang's body was heaving up and down, breathing heavily, and his concave lips looked sinister.

"Li Shiqi was locked up first, then Lu Jia dragged him out and chopped him up!" Lv Zhi shouted angrily.

Zhou Bo and Cao Shen picked up Lu Jia and walked straight out. Zhang Liang and Xiao He were helpless.

"Liu Ji! When I first met you, I thought you had the appearance of an emperor. Now your teeth are broken and your face has changed. It is impossible for you to become a king, let alone an emperor!" Li Shiqi laughed wildly.

"Fork out, quickly!"

Li Shiqi's voice gradually faded away. Before leaving, Lu Jia glanced at Zhang Liang and Xiao He with a deep look, "Take care, you two."

The noisy camp returned to calm, and Lu Pheasant returned to Liu Bang, assuming that nothing had happened.

Zhang Liang helplessly looked at the generals in the camp, all of them beaming with joy. He didn't know whether he was happy because he had eradicated spies, or because he was happy because he had eradicated aliens.

This kind of joy cannot last long, suspicion is an addictive poison.

"You worked hard yesterday to solve the problem. Please leave now," said Lu Pheasant.

All the soldiers walked out of the camp one by one.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but say, "Pei Gong, why don't you discuss this matter with me before making a decision?"

"Pei Gong knew that Mr. Zifang was kind-hearted, so he definitely couldn't bear to kill them, so he didn't tell them," said Lu Pheasant.

Liu Bang couldn't speak, so Lu Fei did the talking, and Zhang Liang didn't want to say anything else.

"I also resigned."

"Mr. Zifang, walk slowly."
