"You are talking nonsense. According to what you said, you were a spy discovered ten days ago. Why didn't you go into the palace to report to the emperor at that time and had to wait until now?" King Jin said coldly.
"I said that because the matter was urgent, I didn't have time to report it to the Emperor. Moreover, if I had told the Emperor in advance, if the mastermind behind the spy came out to interfere, secretly caused trouble, and prevented me from arresting him, who could bear this responsibility?"
Chu Xuanchen said.
Having said this, he cupped his hands towards Emperor Hongyuan and said: "Your Majesty, I have been running for seven days and seven nights in order to catch this spy. During this period, I had trouble sleeping and eating because I failed to catch the spy. Fortunately, I did not give up.
Finally, I found out the whereabouts of the spy and caught him in the King of Jin's villa. I did this for the sake of the country, for the safety of the army, and for the people of Chu. I don't seek merit, but only hope that the emperor can deal with it fairly.
, to restore my innocence."
The implication was that Chu Xuanchen was telling the emperor not to chill the heart of his loyal minister because of Prince Jin's false accusation.
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
King Jin was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Chu Xuanchen and roared: "Chu Xuanchen, you are confusing right and wrong. You obviously went to find Yun Ruoyue, but you actually said you wanted to catch a spy. Li Ao is my king's man.
He is not a spy at all. You framed all this. Do you think he is a spy and he is? Can you provide any evidence? "
"If I don't have any evidence, will I take him to the palace?" After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he nodded towards Mo Li behind him.
Mo Li immediately presented two things to Emperor Hongyuan. When everyone took a look, one was a white snake-shaped jade pendant, and the other was a scroll of marching formations.
Mo Li immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, when Li Ao was escaping, the last general and others also saw it with his own eyes. At that time, he was holding a marching formation chart in his hand. Because he fled in a panic, he also dropped this jade pendant. At that time, he almost dropped the jade pendant.
Hundreds of soldiers saw this jade pendant. His Royal Highness King Li sent people to check later. This snake-shaped jade pendant was exquisitely crafted and rare in the world. It was once awarded by the emperor to King Jin, but it is said that King Jin later rewarded him.
His disciple Li Ao. At that time, the prince concluded that the person who stole the formation map must be Li Ao, so the prince kept searching for him. Finally, the prince learned that Li Ao was hiding in a villa on the outskirts of King Jin, and immediately took people with him.
When the prince captured him, he found this marching formation diagram from Li Ao in front of thousands of soldiers. Therefore, the emperor, the last general and thousands of soldiers dared to guarantee with their heads that Li Ao
Ao is the spy who stole the formation map. As for what he did to steal the formation map and who instigated him, I will never know."
"What? In front of thousands of soldiers?" Emperor Hongyuan's face suddenly became gloomy.
With so many soldiers testifying, it seems that what Chu Xuanchen said is true, and Li Ao is really a spy.
As for who instigated him, he could think of it with his heels.
"Prince Jin, why don't you recruit him from the ground? Did you instigate this Li Ao? Why did you instruct him to steal the marching formation plan?" Emperor Hongyuan gritted his silver teeth and glared at Prince Jin with hatred. He was furious.
Prince Jin's face suddenly turned pale, and he panicked instantly, "Father, my son did not instruct him, really not. Li Ao, tell me quickly, tell me if you were framed by Chu Xuanchen, tell me now!"
"Your Highness, yes, I was framed by Prince Li. Not long ago, I saw that Your Highness had been in a bad mood and was depressed, so I went to spy on you and wanted to help Your Highness make a comeback. I learned from a spy,
I learned that Prince Li had colluded with people from the Tiansheng Kingdom, so I took matters into my own hands and went to the military camp in the north of the city to spy on the news. When I was young, I sneaked into the military camp just to search for evidence of Prince Li's collusion with the enemy country, so as to give you a surprise.
