Send 50,000 Xuanjia troops to garrison Hexian Town and reinforce the mountain pass there. This border fortress must be held until the subsequent garrison officers and soldiers arrive.
He left another 10,000 people to defend Yifeng City together with the city's defense, because he knew that Jingchuan Bai was a person who was not worthy of trust.
At this time, Jingchuan Bai, who had escaped from Hexian Town, was exhausted from the effects of the medicine and was sleeping peacefully in the carriage.
But the mood of the three generals who followed him out of the city was different at this time. It was also at this time that the three of them got together to discuss, because they all knew that once they returned to the capital, none of them would be able to return from the capital.
Come out of the city alive.
It wasn't until after nightfall that their motorcade entered the most luxurious inn in Xirui City of Long'an State. At this time, Jingchuan Bai had also woken up, but recalling the scene when he signed the credentials outside Yifeng City,
It still made him extremely angry.
After sending someone to call the three generals, they directly asked: "When the national crisis is brewing, where are you three generals? Why did you put me in such a dangerous situation? What crime do you deserve!"
Yang Guangzhi and the others answered without fear: "I just obeyed the emperor's order and went to defend the three city gates. The emperor said at that time that it is enough to be protected by the royal guard, and we do not need to accompany him!"
"Are they alone enough? Why didn't you show up?" Jingchuan Bai yelled arrogantly without listening to the explanation.
"The ministers followed the Holy Will and did not disobey the Holy Will. I hope the Emperor will tell you clearly." Yang Guangzhi answered seriously.
Luo Pingqiu, who put on his mask again, stood beside Jingchuan Bai. At this time, his eyes were mocking and he glanced at Jingchuan Bai. He had to admit that his daughter's vision was really bad, or that of his granddaughter.
good.
At this time, Jingchuan Bai's thoughts were already a little confused, and his brows were furrowed with confusion on his face. Why didn't he remember that he had made such a decree?
Moreover, the process of how he signed the credentials at that time was also very vague. It seemed that he begged others to sign the credentials with only one request, which was to let Xiao Muting let him leave alive.
He looked at the three generals kneeling in front of him again, and saw that their expressions were very sure, with no sign of panic or lying at all, and the doubts in his heart became more serious.
Of course, this is all Luo Pingqiu's handiwork, because he needs to continue to watch over him and not let him die too easily. It is best to bring this person to his beloved daughter's grave after Xiao Muting's major event is completed.
Before, I had to chop him up on the spot to relieve the hatred in my heart. Therefore, the memory of that time could not be allowed to be retained by him. Wouldn't it be good to do this now?
At this time, Jingchuan Bai's head hurt even more, and he didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just turned around and held the box wrapped in yellow cloth in his arms, and waved to these people: "Okay, that's it.
You just need to protect me well and return to Beijing safely. Forget past mistakes, please step aside."
The three of them thanked the Holy Grace and got up and walked out. When they arrived at the backyard of the inn, the three of them stopped and turned to look at the lighted window on the second floor. When the three of them looked at each other again, their eyes became even firmer.
After nodding, they went to Yang Guangzhi's room together.
At this time, the chief eunuch handed over a cup of ginseng soup and said carefully: "Your Majesty, please drink a cup of ginseng soup first."
Jingchuan Bai raised his eyes and looked at him, then asked: "Why am I feeling so uncomfortable? Did something happen when I signed the credentials outside Yifeng City? Why can't I remember it?"
The chief eunuch immediately knelt down and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know what happened. I only smelled a sweet smell and didn't know anything else. I was woken up by someone else, so I helped the Emperor get into the carriage."
...The slave deserves to die!"
"As expected! Huh! I can't blame you. That dead girl really dared to attack me, and the method she used was truly inherited from her mother!" Jingchuan Bai immediately understood what was going on and snorted coldly.
"The slave also heard from the guards afterwards that they all smelled it at that time, and like the slave, they were also woken up..." the eunuch chief lied on the ground and continued.
Jingchuan Bai waved his hand tiredly again: "Okay, let Gu Pingyue come see me!"
When the chief eunuch heard this, he fell back down again as he had just remembered, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, Commander Gu led him... He has been killed in battle, and his body was not brought back..."
"What! Uh... it seems... it's... it's Xiao Muting..." The picture flashed in Jingchuan Bai's mind again, and he seemed to remember it.
At that time, Xiao Muting's whole body was exuding murderous aura, and he could kill Gu Pingyue on the spot without even using a weapon. Thinking of this, his whole body trembled involuntarily, and his fear for Xiao Muting came from the bottom of his heart.
He waved his hand feebly again: "Go down, I'm tired..."
The chief eunuch got up and said again: "Your Majesty, drink this ginseng soup before going to bed..."
Jingchuan Bai took a long breath and nodded, picked up the bowl on the table and drank it all before being helped to the bed.
Just when he was feeling dazed, he suddenly thought of something and sat up suddenly and shouted: "Come here! Bring me the credentials!"
When he saw that the place where the credentials were signed, in addition to his signature and private seal, was also stamped with the national seal, his eyes almost popped out of his head and he shouted loudly: "This! How is this possible!"
He went back and took the box wrapped in yellow cloth, opened it hurriedly, and looked at the box carefully, only to find that the box was still intact and sealed. He tried harder, but still couldn't open it. He was panicking.
Got up.
He picked up the certificate of credence and read it again and again carefully, swallowed hard, and couldn't help but mutter: "This, how is this possible, why... is it so similar... this, how is this happening?
thing?"
But he couldn't open the box in his hand, so he couldn't prove the authenticity of the national seal. His heart was hung there and he couldn't settle down at all.
At this time, in the bedroom of the Royal Villa in Yifeng City, Su Han was leaning on Xiao Muting's arms, holding up a large seal carved with exquisite dragon decorations on a green and white jade, curling his lips in disgust and saying: "I
Now that I regret it, I shouldn’t have kept this thing. It would be great to put it back in the box after covering it. Now it feels very hot. What should I do, sir?"
Xiao Muting laughed out loud and gently stroked her tender face with his fingers: "If you don't take it, no one else can get it. I have to say that the secret box made by your mother is really powerful. It's really
If you try to force it open, the national seal will be destroyed."
"But I don't want it now, it's just a trouble!" Su Han groaned after kicking his legs twice.
Xiao Muting laughed louder and hugged her into his arms, then stretched out his hand to take away the heavy national seal and put it aside: "Now is not the time to return it. Let's return it when we have the opportunity."
That's great."
"That's all we can do." Su Han leaned his head on his shoulder and said softly.

I managed to stay up until dawn, and as soon as I had a sip of hot porridge, someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent call coming from the direction of the capital. King Gu has raised an army!"
"Clang!" With a sound, the porridge bowl in his hand fell to the ground.
He immediately issued an order to set off back to the capital! At the same time, he took out the military talisman that he regarded as his destiny, and wanted to send troops along the way back to the capital to put an end to the chaos caused by King Feng's rebellion!
After receiving this news, Xiao Muting and Su Han both looked at each other and smiled. Su Han said with a smile: "King Gu is a real dog. He really took advantage of his father's illness to kill his father. How can he raise such an unfilial son like a treasure?"
