The general wanted to accuse Xia Qingchen of colluding with Dark Moon!
There are countless crimes in the military palace, but few are more serious than colluding with the Dark Moon.
Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed from top to bottom.
By then, not only will Xia Qingchen's head be missing, but his immediate superior, Zhao Feimo, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, will also be severely punished!
Once this strategy is successful, it will kill three birds with one stone, and it will be of great benefit to Yu Guitian's rapid rise to power.
Now, as long as we can pry open Gongsun Wuji's mouth and make him give false testimony, everything will go smoothly.
It's a pity that Gongsun Wuji is very ignorant of praise.
"Gongsun Wuji, if you continue to be stubborn, you will die!" the general threatened.
Gongsun Wuji was exhausted but resolute: "I will not die even if I commit perjury!"
In this way, the general finally lost his patience and said with a cold face: "Okay! As you wish!"
He pulled out a scroll that had been prepared and read it in public: "In accordance with the decree of the military palace, Gongsun Wuji failed to suppress the bandits and harbored those who colluded with Dark Moon. The suspicion is serious. Now he has removed his position as Qian Xiaoqi and is being detained in the military camp pending investigation."
."
What?
Gongsun Wuji suddenly opened his eyes: "You are talking nonsense! There is no conclusion on this matter, how can the military palace be guilty?"
Whether Xia Qingchen colluded with Dark Moon has not been finalized yet.
Why did he say that he was covering up Xia Qingchen?
"Haha, to tell you the truth, we have obtained other evidence. The reason why we are interrogating you is to hope that the evidence will be more conclusive." The general threw the order from the general palace and said expressionlessly: "Originally, you could get away, but it's a pity.
, you don’t cherish the opportunity!”
Gongsun Wuji picked up the scroll, read the contents, and then looked at the military palace seal printed at the end, his face turned pale.
This is indeed the will of the military palace.
However, since the military palace has already convicted him, even if he agrees to cooperate with them in forging evidence during these days of interrogation, the outcome will not change.
The general just wanted to take advantage of his last bit of value.
"Come here, take him back to the military palace and wait for disposal!" The general gave the order, and someone dragged Gongsun Wuji out of the small dark room and into the waiting prison car outside the courtyard.
Gongsun Wuji shouted with grief and anger: "I was wronged! I was wronged! You framed me, you are despicable!"
The general came over with his hands behind his back, half-smiling but not smiling: "Let's talk about this in the military palace."
Gongsun Wuji grasped the iron bars of the prison and was extremely angry.
He originally thought that the army would be his opportunity to stand out and become a master, but he never expected that the army would be so dark.
"In addition, so that you will not feel lonely during this trip, I have arranged for your old friend to accompany you." The general clapped his hands.
A general with a Baixiao Cavalry badge on his waist led a team towards him. He cupped his fists and said to the general: "The general will be keeping the criminals in custody during this trip. Sir, you can sit back and relax."
Gongsun Wuji heard the sound and looked sideways, as if he was struck by thunder.
It took him a while to regain his composure and suddenly realized: "It was you who betrayed me!!"
This Bai Xiaoqi is none other than his former confidant, Xinyuan!
At that time, the only people who witnessed Xia Qingchen tearing up the letter were him and Xinyuan.
The one who exposed this matter could only be Xinyuan!
The military palace said that there was evidence, and it could only be Xinyuan's testimony.
Xinyuan smiled but said: "What Mr. Gongsun said is wrong. I just reported what I saw truthfully. Do I have to imitate Mr. Gongsun in protecting criminals?"
"You deserve to die!" Gongsun Wuji was extremely angry: "I have used and cultivated you in vain. Is this how you repay me?"
When he first took control of the White Lion Chapter, Xinyuan was just a soldier commander.
He relied entirely on Gongsun Wuji's promotion along the way to reach his current position.
"Of course I remember Lord Gongsun's kindness to me, but private matters are private matters and public matters are public matters. Lord Gongsun does evil and evil, so as a subordinate, of course he must uphold justice." Xinyuan said disapprovingly.
Gongsun Wuji only stared at him with a pair of angry eyes.
He never expected that Xinyuan would betray him.
Suddenly, he thought that when he broke up with Xia Qingchen, the other party had reminded him to be careful about the people around him.
Now it really comes true!
Did Xia Qingchen notice something at that time?
No!
Xia Qingchen betrayed him even more deeply, and it was impossible for him to do anything good for him!
The general laughed and said: "In addition, Xinyuan Baixiaoqi reported meritorious service. I have already petitioned the military palace to promote Xinyuan to Thousand Xiaoqi of the White Lion Chapter."
"As long as you go to the military palace to confront and understand, the reward will be announced."
Gongsun Wuji closed his eyes in pain and murmured: "I only want to devote myself to martial arts, but there are so many villains in the world, what can I do, what can I do!"
Of course, he didn't give up.
He wanted to state the truth in public at the military palace.
He always knew that the rules of the military palace were strict, and the integrity of the personnel there was far beyond that of the barracks.
At that time, there must be a chance to redress the injustice!
"Let's go!" The general dismissed Gongsun Wuji's murmur and ordered to move forward.
The military palace is not in the city, but in a fortress on the outskirts, a day's journey away.
Shortly after.
Xia Qingchen finally got the news.
Zhao Yunshi hurriedly came to his tent, accompanied by a group of Qian Xiaoqi who had been dispatched.
"That's what happened. Gongsun Wuji is already on his way to the military palace." Zhao Yunshi's tone was low. She had never thought that the matter would be so serious.
"Mother has gone to the military palace, please wait patiently." Zhao Yunshi said with twinkling eyes.
Zhao Feimo was only a general of the Northwest Army and his powers were very limited.
If you haven't even managed to fish Gongsun Wuji out of the hands of the general, how can you talk about rescuing people in the military palace?
It would be fine if Gongsun Wuji was innocent, but if he was really guilty, it would be useless for the commander-in-chief to personally visit him.
Xia Qingchen was as steady as a rock, looking at the ten Qian Xiaoqi who were following him, and said: "So, you are here to arrest me?"
Gongsun Wuji was taken to the military palace. How could Xia Qingchen, the main culprit, stay out of the matter?
Zhao Yunshi lowered his head and shook his head slightly: "No! The ones who arrested you are the special envoys sent by the military palace. They are still on the way. We are here to prevent you from making more mistakes."
Before leaving, Zhao Feimo warned not to let Xia Qingchen go to intercept and save people.
That will only be counterproductive.
When it comes to making trouble in front of the military palace, there is still a little room for maneuver. If you save someone midway, you will be convicted.
Therefore, Xia Qingchen must not be allowed to leave the military camp.
"What if I have to?" Xia Qingchen slowly stood up.
There is no wind tonight, but his clothes are fluttering.
There is no snow tonight, but his eyes are cold.
Zhao Yunshi was far away and did not see at all that the marble table in front of Xia Qingchen was already full of cracks.
The military inscriptions and writing brushes on it had been shattered into powder at an unknown moment.
"Lord Xia, please respect yourself!" The Qianxiao Cavaliers who were ordered to come here said in unison: "Don't force us to use force!"
Xia Qingchen ignored them and walked down slowly.
The faces of the Qianxiao Riders were solemn, and they all surged with the power of the stars.
Zhao Yunshi waved her hand and sighed: "Everyone retreat, I'll do it."
She put down the sword in her arms and said with twitching red lips: "Before yesterday, I protected you, but after today I am going to take action against you. Xia Qingchen, don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Xia Qingchen said: "Gongsun Wuji is kind and affectionate to me. No one can stop saving him, but I can't!"
As soon as he stepped forward, a strong wind swept through him, and dust and sand flew into Zhao Yunshi's face.
She sighed deeply and said: "No one else should take action, I am enough."
As one of the top masters in the Northwest Army, and as Xia Qingchen's former personal guard, it should be easy to capture him.
