She Yue felt restless that night. After dawn, Ye Chaoxuan did not come back, but Chen Xun came to report that Chai Xuan could have a short questioning.

Naturally, She Yue would not ask anyone to carry Chai Xuan up, but went downstairs in person. In a room on the second floor, a Lingtai Lang had just given Chai Xuan some medicine. When he saw She Yue coming in, he immediately bowed and said

: "Princess, you can ask, but the time should not be too long. His injury is not serious, and treatment will continue after the interview." The four great Lingtai Lang are all officials of Yutiantai, and they are also the confidants of the Great Heavenly Master. They not only practice Taoism

Practicing Qigong, these people are also proficient in pharmacology.

After Ling Tailang withdrew, Chen Xun originally wanted to retreat, but She Yue motioned for him to stay. Chai Xuan was injured in the chest, so he couldn't sit up and could only lie down.

"Chai Xuan, please briefly explain the situation." She Yue said: "Are you sure that General Changsun has been killed? You were attacked by assassins. How many people died?"

"Except for the subordinates, including the eldest grandson, everyone else was killed." Chai Xuan calmed down and said softly: "Those people didn't think about leaving a chance to survive, and they used a killing move. The six guard brothers were all hit in the blink of an eye.

General Changsun's mount was shot to death. The subordinates fought hard with the general, but they were no match for each other. Their target was the general. An assassin punched the subordinate in the chest, and the subordinate was knocked to the ground.

It was completely dark and he couldn't get up, but the assassin didn't care about his subordinates. Instead, he turned to General Changsun and surrounded the general with two other assassins!" She Yue nodded slightly, and Chai Xuancai continued: "It took a while for my subordinates to calm down, wait.

When he saw the situation clearly, the general had already fallen to the ground. The three assassins were surrounding the general, and one of them was stepping on the general's chest!" At this point, he was obviously excited again, his eyes were still blood red, and he clenched his fists and said:

"I heard from an assassin that the general was favored by the imperial court and actually rebelled against the imperial court and conspired with the princess. They were ordered to be punished by heaven!" She Yue frowned and said: "Execute by heaven?"

"After the assassin finished speaking, another assassin held a dagger and stabbed into the general's heart. His subordinates saw the assassin stabbing him several times in succession. Another assassin covered the general's mouth to prevent him from speaking.

Sound!" Tears welled up in Chai Xuan's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "The general was already seriously injured when he fell, and he was unable to resist." When She Yue heard this, the last glimmer of hope she had had was completely shattered.

"The assassin spared you?"

"No." Chai Xuan said: "My subordinate wanted to rush forward and fight for his life, but he knew that he was no match for them. There happened to be a horse just a few steps away that didn't run away. My subordinate took advantage of them not paying attention and forced himself to get up.

, got on his horse, thinking that he would report the situation to the princess no matter what. The three assassins heard the noise and wanted to catch up, but the subordinates tried their best to pat the horses, and then they escaped!" He choked and said: "The subordinates have not yet been able to catch up.

If you can protect the general well, please forgive me!" Seeing Chai Xuan's words finished, She Yue's face became even paler, and she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded slightly and said: "Take good care of your wounds." She left the second floor and went upstairs.

, She Yue only felt that her legs were sore and weak, and even her whole body seemed to have lost all strength.

She walked to Mei'er's door and was about to knock on the door when she heard faint sobbing coming from inside the room. The sound was obviously suppressed for fear of being heard. If she wasn't close to the door, it would be difficult to hear.

She Yue felt uncomfortable in her heart. She hesitated and did not go in after all. After returning to the top floor, Ye Chaoxuan finally hurried over not long after. After entering the door, She Yue motioned to Ye Chaoxuan to close the door. When he approached, she asked: "General Changsun

Him?" Ye Chaoxuan's expression was solemn, and he looked sad even if he didn't meet him. He whispered: "Princess, the general was indeed killed. There were two fatal injuries. He was stabbed three times in the heart, his throat was cut, and there were other injuries on his body!

"She Yue closed her eyes.

After a moment, she asked: "Where is the body?"

"Last night, I took people to take care of all the remains at the scene." Ye Chaoxuan said: "There are seven bodies in total. They are currently placed in a secret place. I also sent people to guard them. No one can see them without my order." He paused.

After a pause, he said: "I warned the people I brought last night that anyone who leaks a word will be executed immediately. The news will not be leaked for the time being." She Yue nodded slightly, knowing that now was not the time to be sad, and said: "Chai

Xuan said he heard the assassin say a few words to General Changsun."

"Oh?" Ye Chaoxuan asked, "Princess, what did Chai Xuan say?" She Yue told what Chai Xuan said, and Ye Chaoxuan frowned and said, "So, Xiahou sent an assassin to sneak into the city?"

"It's also possible that it's Tantai Xuanye." She Yue said: "Tantai Xuanye knows the situation in Xuzhou very well. He knows that Xuzhou's troops are commanded by General Changsun, so he sent assassins to kill General Changsun, just to kill General Changsun.

This is a blow to our army." Ye Chaoxuan said: "Although the two armies are fighting, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, but using such despicable means is simply shameless."

"He has gone crazy. He has long abandoned his ethics, justice and honor. There is nothing he can't do." She Yue said: "Master Ye, you handled it well. This news cannot be leaked for the time being." Ye Chaoxuan said: "Princess, this matter can be done

He could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it for two days. General Changsun worked hard day and night and visited the city almost every day. The soldiers were used to seeing him every day. If he disappeared suddenly, even for a day, the soldiers would feel strange.

, if we don’t see him for a few days, it will inevitably cause instability in the morale of the army.” After a pause, he said with a serious expression: “Since the assassins sent by the enemy have sneaked into the city, they will next disrupt our army’s morale and will probably start to attack in the city.

Spread the news and spread the news of the assassination of General Chang Sun throughout the city." She Yue actually expected this, thought for a moment, and then said: "You are right, the top priority is to find a way to stabilize the morale of the army." Her beautiful eyes flashed.

He turned and said: "Can you tell the soldiers that General Changsun is not feeling well and needs to rest for a while?"

"With all due respect, this excuse cannot last for a few days." Ye Chaoxuan said seriously: "In recent days, General Changsun has worked hard day and night. It is reasonable to say that he is unwell due to overwork. However, this will still have a great impact on the morale of the military.

During these days of defense preparation, everyone knew that the war was coming. At such an important time, the commander of an army suddenly fell ill, which had a great impact on the morale of the army. If it was really just unwell and rested for a few days, it would be nothing more, but General Changsun

He has been killed and has not shown up for several days. Everyone will only become more and more suspicious. Once there is a turmoil in the military morale, the consequences will be disastrous." She Yue frowned and said, "What you said makes sense." She slowly stood up and walked to the window.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Chaoxuan and said: "The assassination was successful. If nothing unexpected happens, Tantai Xuanye will send troops to kill him soon after receiving the report. The top priority is to have a general who can come out in times of crisis.

Take command of the entire army."

"The princess is right." Ye Chaoxuan said: "I think that now that the matter has come to this, it is not the time to be sad. There are two urgent things that must be done. One is to track down the assassin's traces, and the other is to promote a general to lead the whole country.

Army. The assassins are extremely ferocious. If they lurk in the city, assassinations are likely to occur, so the three assassins must be caught. As for the commander of the army, His Highness can only think twice before making a decision!" She Yue frowned and said: "

Three assassins are lurking in the city. Finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Do you have any good ideas?"

"What the princess said is true." Ye Chaoxuan said: "If the city officials or even soldiers and horses search the city, it will definitely disturb the people and make the soldiers think that something big has happened in the city. Moreover, the assassins will hide deeper and will not show up.

It would be inappropriate to have the slightest trace of whereabouts." After thinking for a moment, he said: "I think that to track down the assassin, we can only do it secretly, and we can't call in sergeants." She Yue said: "What do you mean?"

"That knight-errant." Ye Chaoxuan whispered: "Princess, Mu Wuming is a man of the rivers and lakes, and his skills are not weak. He has made great contributions to the eradication of rebellious parties in Jiangnan. There are also many Jianghu people in Xuzhou City, and these Jianghu people have always had a negative attitude toward the government.

It's a double act. If the government comes forward to ask them to track down the assassin, they may not take it seriously. But if Mu Wuming really uses his connections in the world to call these people to track down the assassin, he might really be able to gain something." She Yue thought for a moment and then said: "

Do you think he can?"

"I think you can give it a try." Ye Chaoxuan said: "In fact, this is the only way at the moment. The princess can give him an order and let him call on the people in the city. Many of the people in the city are loyal to Li Tang.

, with the princess’s warrant and Mu Wuming’s connections in the world, all the people in the city will naturally take advantage of it. The assassin is now hiding in the dark, making it difficult for the government to find him, but these people in the world have the ability to track down his whereabouts.”

She Yue did not agree immediately. She looked out the window again and asked: "If you promote a new general to lead Xuzhou's troops, you will naturally have to give the soldiers a reason for doing so. Since you can't tell them that General Changsun is just recuperating, you can

Is there any other better reason?"

"It can be said that General Changsun went to Jiangnan urgently to organize the army." Ye Chaoxuan said: "I can also tell you that General Changsun went to Jiangnan to recruit troops. After recruiting troops and horses, he will soon come to reinforce Xuzhou. General Changsun has always been

The reason for leading troops in the south of the Yangtze River and going to the south of the Yangtze River to recruit troops and rectify the military affairs can also be convinced by the soldiers. In this way, the whereabouts of General Changsun can be explained to the soldiers, and the morale of our army can be enhanced by the talk of reinforcements, killing two birds with one stone.

She Yue thought for a while, nodded slightly, and asked: "Then who do you think can take over General Changsun's heavy responsibility?"

She Yue was restless that night. After dawn, Ye Chaoxuan did not come back, but Chen Xun came to report that Chai Xuan could have a short questioning.

Naturally, She Yue would not ask anyone to carry Chai Xuan up, but went downstairs in person. In a room on the second floor, a Lingtai Lang had just given Chai Xuan some medicine. When he saw She Yue coming in, he immediately bowed and said
