Vice General Dong pursed his lips and stared at the girl sitting in the chair, trying to discern something from her expression.
"If you are really Xu Zhengye's people, as you said, since your lord is dead, why would you take the risk of killing this person to silence him? My lord is dead, is there anything else you can't say?" Chang
Sui Ning glanced at the corpse on the ground.
Vice General Dong sneered: "...I'm just afraid that he will turn me in!"
"I'm just afraid that he will betray you. You could have escaped in advance, so why would you take the risk of falling into a trap?"
Chang Sui Ning shook his head: "No. The reason why you would rather risk killing him is because of the status between the two of you. You are superior and he is inferior. If he says something that he shouldn't say, he is also yours."
It is your fault, and you need to bear the responsibility for it. Although you can escape from the military camp in advance, you cannot escape from your real master. Therefore, you have no choice. You know that this trip is dangerous, but you have no choice but to come."
The man who was being held down struggled again after hearing this: "Let me go!"
In Chang Suining's eyes, this unnecessary struggling movement was just a subconscious dodge to hide her panic after being told the truth by her.
She asked: "Having said so much, aren't you curious about how I knew your identity as a spy?"
Seeing the man looking at her steadily, Chang Sui Ning said with great interest: "Or do you dare not be curious?"
Their eyes met, Chang Sui was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, silently wearing down the other's patience and reason.
How did she suspect this person?
This started when I was still in the Shouzhou camp.
Facing Xiao Min, the new coach who succeeded Li Yi, he was very respectful and obedient. As he came and went, he naturally followed Xiao Min.
He seemed to treat Xiao Min as the second Li Yi, not obeying Xiao Min's words enough, and turning a deaf ear to her from time to time behind his back, sowing discord between Xiao Min and her and Lao Chang——
But what he thought he was doing by "standing in line" actually failed to figure out the trick at all. He had blown the wind out of the ears of the wrong person, and his good intentions were wrong. Xiao Min secretly felt that he was on the same team as her and Lao Chang.
This person probably never expected that Xiao Min not only refused to be provoked by him, but also "sold" him around. Xiao Min told her and Lao Chang that this person was quite strange and that everyone should be more careful together.
Later, when the army stood still, this man repeatedly inquired about the marching arrangements... Of course, Xiao Min turned around and went to report again.
For the sake of safety, during the Battle of Bianshui, she and Xiao Min deliberately left this man in Shouzhou for Chang Kuo to keep an eye on him.
But unexpectedly, Zhong Si appeared.
After the victory in Bianshui, she finally had her hands free, and she planned to investigate together.
While sending people back to Xuanzhou to bring Fan Ou, Chang Suining also sent a letter to Chang Kuo, so Chang Kuo ordered this person to come to Bianzhou Daying to deliver the letter.
She also secretly informed Xiao Min this time, so that he had the opportunity to escort Zhong Si.
This escort was originally a test. And the results of the test were already before our eyes.
The above is the process from when Chang Suining started to suspect this person to when he confirmed his suspicion.
This is the truth, but this moment is obviously not suitable for telling the truth, only suitable for lying.
Chang Suining looked at Vice General Dong who was being escorted and kneeling there, and said: "As early as in Shouzhou, someone told me your true identity."
Vice General Dong sneered with unknown meaning.
"You don't believe it?" Chang Suining looked outside the hall: "Bring people in."
After a moment, a figure was brought over by the sword boy, and Chang Sui'an was also beside him.
Soon, the visitor was escorted by the sword boy and knelt down beside Vice General Dong.
It's Fan Ou.
He was kneeling there with his hands on the ground. He seemed to be very weak. His hair and beard were messy and messy, making it difficult to see his exact expression.
Vice General Dong turned his head slightly, glanced briefly, and then looked away. There was no clear change in expression on his face, no surprise, let alone panic. He only sneered: "I don't recognize this person."
Following Chang Suining's signal, the sword boy took out a token from Fan Ou's arms and threw it in front of Vice General Dong.
"I didn't take good care of him. I'm in a mess. It's really hard to recognize him." Chang Suining looked at the token: "But you should be able to recognize the token from Prince Rong's Mansion?"
Vice General Dong didn't look sideways, his face and jaw tensed: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"It seems that as early as after I kidnapped Fan Ou, in order to prevent me from taking advantage of Fan Ou, Li Lu had already spread the word to everyone." Chang Sui Ning said with a look of surprise on his face: "So what you see now
Fan Ou is in my hands without any surprise."
After all, Fan Ou was a powerful confidant in Prince Rong's palace. Li Lu had also personally said before that when Fan Ou celebrated the birthday of the late King of Huainan, he was responsible for liaising with internal personnel in the army——
Such an important person fell into her hands. According to Li Lu's cautious style, he would naturally inform everyone in time.
Vice General Dong kept silent, only frowned and tilted his head and sneered, as if he only thought she was talking nonsense.
The old Ning Hun didn't care and continued to speculate: "According to this, Li Lu probably told you that Fan Ou is very strict with his mouth and will not reveal anything, so that you don't have to mess up your own situation, and you only need to be careful...
…is that right?”
This is indeed a fact, and Fan Ou has never revealed anything about it so far.
Vice General Dong's expression changed slightly - how could this woman guess so accurately!
"This mouth is indeed difficult to pry, but hard work pays off -" Chang Sui Ning leaned back in his chair with a relaxed posture: "He didn't just give you away..."
Fan Ou raised her head with difficulty, gritted her teeth and looked at the girl who was full of lies.
She was also looking at him, even with a hateful smile in her eyes.
She counted the contents of his "confession" one by one——
"Secretly sent a secret letter to Li Yi, telling Li Yi that the saint would use He Wei to change the commander-in-chief. Let Li Yi prepare in advance and set up an ambush to kill He Wei... This is a deal."
"The poisoning of Li Tong, the king of Huainan, caused the Huainan Road to be almost in danger... This is also a case."
"Leaking the road map of the imperial court's grain and grass transportation to Xu Zhengye, causing the grain and grass to be intercepted by Xu's army...another incident."
Vice General Dong's heart sank more and more as he listened. He turned to look at Fan Ou, but saw that he didn't refute even a word!
Fan Ou also turned to look at him: "..." He wanted to refute, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he had been fed, and he couldn't speak at all at the moment!
He didn't say anything!
He tried to convey this message with his eyes, but Vice General Dong had no way of understanding it.
But the voice continued: "Also, the Hedong Jiedushi envoy Xiao Chuan had tricked Cui Jing into going to Bingzhou's Chief of Staff Shi Daicong, hoping to seize the opportunity to capture Taiyuan of Bingzhou. After his defeat, he claimed that he
Xu Zhengye is the accomplice...How many scapegoats has Xu Zhengye shouldered for your Prince Rong Mansion?"
Fan Ou's eyes were shocked when he heard this, and he looked at Chang Sui Ning. How could she even do this...?!
Chang Suining smiled at him and raised his eyebrows with a look of understanding.
Fan Ou's expression suddenly changed.
This person who is full of trouble... is actually trying to trick his reaction!
Vice General Dong's expression had completely changed. He looked at Fan Ou, anger revealed in his eyes - this man actually betrayed the prince!
Fan Ou also stared at him, this idiot was about to fall into the trap!
Chang Sui Ning didn't think Vice Dong was so stupid. He was really a stupid person, so there was no need for her to waste so much words.
The other party heard her say so many secret things, but Fan Ou didn't refute even a single word from beginning to end——
Moreover, if the other party can reach the rank of sixth-grade military general in the imperial army, he must have taken root for a long time, and Fan Ou is mostly in Yizhou, which means that this person will not have much contact with Fan Ou, and will not know much about him. Change.
In other words, if Li Lu had nine points of trust in Fan Ou and believed that Fan Ou would not betray Prince Rong's palace easily, then this person would only have two points at most.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for these two trusts to be shaken.
She is also very good at sowing discord.
Chang Suining decided to add one last flame.
"Fan Ou also told me that your Prince Rong Mansion not only wants Taiyuan, the place where dragon veins originated, but also wants Cui Jing's life -" she said, tapping the scabbard on her hand with her index finger.
"Before the Battle of Bianshui, thanks to Fan Ou's reminder, I wrote to Governor Cui in time and was able to ask Governor Cui to avoid the assassination."
As she tapped her fingers, an assassin in black was dragged out from the room by Ah Che.
The assassin fell to the ground, seemingly dying. Ah Che pulled up his left sleeve, revealing a tattoo on the inside.
This is the unique mark of the deceased soldiers of Prince Rong's Palace.
Although Chang Sui Ning didn't know, Cui Jing had no way of knowing, but - Vice General Dong could recognize it at a glance.
He needs to contact these people for a long time, and this tattoo is used to confirm his identity!
Chang Suining heard that it was Fan Ou who exposed the murder of Cui Jing by Prince Rong's Palace, and the person in front of him was indeed a dead soldier of Prince Rong's Palace. Confused by this information, Vice General Dong could no longer hide his reaction.
Chang Suining's words made him react like this, and his reaction in turn confirmed Chang Suining's words.
Chang Suining had the answer in his mind, and there was no doubt anymore.
Fan Ou's teeth were almost broken.
This woman has one trick behind the other... she's just a white wolf with nothing to show for it!
Chang Suining's eyes swept over Fan Ou, Vice General Dong, and the assassin in turn.
If these three people were taken out for interrogation individually, it would take a lot of effort to find out what is true or false. But when the three of them are put together, the answer is revealed.
Her eyes finally fell on Vice General Dong: "You are from Prince Rong's Mansion - do you still want to deny this to death?"
Vice General Dong looked solemn and silent.
"Since you still refuse to admit it, then I will have to hand the three of you, together with Fan Ou's confession, to the saint." Chang Sui Ning said: "It must be a great achievement."
There was no patience in her tone, and it didn't sound like she was being fake: "Here comes someone——"
"Wait!" Vice General Dong interrupted her.
Chang Suining looked at him.
Vice General Dong took a look at the left and right, and it was obvious that they were all her confidants, and then finally said: "General Ning Yuan is obviously a smart man, but why is he so inflexible? He would rather serve the demon queen who is at the end of her life than become an enemy of my prince!
"
"..." Fan Ou closed her eyes weakly.
Chang Sui Ning's fingers paused lightly as they rested on the scabbard, and there was no longer any doubt in her mind.
So, it is indeed him.
That big hand hiding in the dark to stir up trouble in the world, fearing that the world would not be in chaos... turned out to be him.
His name is Li Yin, and he is her little uncle Wang.
It was her free-spirited and non-competitive little Uncle Wang who taught her how to protect herself when she was young, and laughed and said that he had "sympathized with her".
"The Demon Queen is unpopular with the people, the situation has been decided! My prince is the orthodox bloodline of the Li family!"
"Your Majesty has always treated General Chang with respect... We can obviously accomplish great things together!"
Changsui An frowned tightly when he heard this and looked at his sister subconsciously.
"Respect..." Chang Suining pulled back and asked, "Are you talking about Prince Rong's repeated threats to the lives of my father and brother?"
While Prince Rong's Mansion used all means to win over Chang Kuo, who had always been prestigious in Xuance's army, they also plotted how to kill Cui Jing and leave Xuance's army without a master.
All the traces of this were connected together to reveal an ambitious plan.
It's a pity that the Chang family is too difficult to win over, and Cui Jing is too difficult to kill.
Prince Rong's plan to capture Taiyuan failed, and his plan to help Xu Zhengye turn the world upside down also failed.
"...Those who have always accomplished big things should not stick to small details!" Hearing Chang Suining talk about being threatened by Li Lu, Vice General Dong didn't know the details, but it didn't stop him from saying at this moment: "The overall situation is now, this matter is related to the survival of the Chang family, General Ning Yuan
You might as well ask General Chang what he wants first and let General Chang make this decision!"
"What does it mean about the survival of the Chang family... those who follow it will live, and those who go against it will perish?" Chang Suining looked at him and asked quietly: "Now that your life and death are in my hands, you can still say such things.
Are these threats the strength of your Prince Rong Mansion?"
This was never "together to achieve a great cause", it was just to force the Chang family to act as swords and shields for them, to act like cows and horses.
Judging from this confidence, the planning and secret power accumulated by Prince Rong's Mansion over the years is probably considerable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "General Ning Yuan, why do you have to act on your own initiative?" There was a hint of contempt in the eyes of the man named Dong: "Such a major matter should be left to General Chang to decide——"
"This is not a big deal. It's just a small matter. I can make the decision. That's more than enough."
The man frowned and was about to say more when he heard the girl change her subject: "It's not like I can't agree to cooperate with your Prince Rong Mansion. As long as you answer me a question, I can consider this matter."
Seeing that there was hope, the man said patiently: "General Ning Yuan, please speak."
Chang Suining: "Who is the most hidden spy placed by Prince Rong's palace next to the saint?"
"I have always been just following orders on such confidential matters. I have no way of knowing the details." The man surnamed Dong said: "If General Ning Yuan is really sincere in cooperating, he can ask my prince and prince in the future."
Who is going to ask them?
Chang Suining stood up.
"Since you don't know, it seems that this cooperation is destined to fail."
Seeing that she was about to leave like this, the man surnamed Dong frowned. How could she treat such a big matter like this?
He was about to speak again, but he heard the man who had already crossed the threshold holding the sword casually order without looking back: "Take them down and kill them all."
"yes!"
Chang Sui'an was stunned for a moment, subconsciously turning her head to look at her sister's leaving figure.
Such a sister made him suddenly see an aura that he had never seen before. Calmness and decisiveness were both inadequate to describe her.
"By the way, let Fan Ou stay." The figure from behind added: "Let him recover from his injuries."
The man named Dong looked pale and in disbelief.
He was quickly dragged down together with the assassin, and the body was quickly carried away.
Watching two living people and a dead person being taken away from him one after another, Fan Ou's desire to join a group has never been so strong. The pink eye attack was so complete that he collapsed.
Can you carry him away too?
He doesn't want to be left behind, he doesn't want to recuperate!
Fan Ou, who was crying and roaring in his heart, was heartbroken and his whole body was as limp as sand. The sword boy grabbed his arms and dragged him away from here.
After Chang Sui'an arranged everything, she quickly caught up with her sister: "Ning Ning..."
"Brother, if you have time, you can go to Governor Cui personally and inform him of the results of today's interrogation."
"Oh, okay!" Chang Sui An responded. He wanted to say something to his sister, but he didn't know what to say.
"Brother, don't worry, no one can force or influence us." Chang Suining stopped, looked at the young man beside him, and said: "From now on, we have the final say on what path the Chang family will take."
The sunshine after the beginning of summer is golden, shining through the shade of the trees on the girl's body, face, and eyes.
Chang Sui An Wuduan thought of the time he was in prison, when he was entangled in the chains of injustice. It was his sister who helped him break free of the chains, regain justice, and lead him to escape from the prison in the capital.
At this moment, his sister seemed to be promising him that there would be no more chains and cages in the future.
I don't know when, but it became his sister who was protecting him, and she really protected him very well.
But at the same time, he doesn't want his sister to be influenced by the current of this world!
This thought that was unspeakable just now suddenly became clear and firm in Chang Sui An's mind.
This world is a mess, and everyone has their own ambitions. If you want to gain a foothold, you need to become stronger!
The boy's eyes gradually turned red and he nodded heavily to his sister: "Okay... from now on, we have the final say!"
In order to be able to "have the final say", he will also make himself stronger as soon as possible!
Although he is not better than his sister, since he is lucky enough to be her half-brother, he must not be bad either... right!
Under the bright sunshine, Chang Sui Ning smiled at him and nodded.
For a moment, Chang Suining looked past the tall young man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the dazzling golden crow.
Just now, she had made a decision in her mind.
Since this overall situation is unavoidable and no one can be immune to it, since she does not want to hand over the dignity and safety of herself and those around her, as well as the crumbling country, into the hands of those who cannot tolerate it——
Then, she might as well give it a try.
It just so happened that she was quite accustomed to herself.
…
The gentle breeze gently swayed the branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree, casting a flickering light and shadow.
Under this light and shadow, a man's figure stood. He slightly raised his head and looked at the huge ginkgo tree, his face immersed in the light and shadow.
His hair was tied neatly and he was wearing a wide navy blue fine silk robe. His whole body had a free and easy temperament, which seemed to blend in with the ginkgo tree, creating a very Zen painting.
This is Yizhou, Prince Rong's Mansion.
The appearance of a voice and a figure disturbed this peaceful painting in the afternoon.
"Father."
A thin young man wearing a cloak came forward and raised his hand to salute the man.
