After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan buried Yinhu and returned to Fengxian.

From Qingshuang, Meng Qianqian learned that after she left the military camp, Lu Yuan did not delay for a moment and rushed to the Feng County government office. It only took him one day to solve the case that had plagued the border for more than a month.

The people of Beiliang were really miserable this time. They thought that the court had sent a civil official who had never been to the battlefield, and Beiliang would definitely win. However, they didn't expect that they hit a wall.

Lu Yuan may not be good at military tactics, but investigation and interrogation are his strengths. In his hands, there is no case that cannot be solved and no mouth that cannot be pried open.

He is bold and vicious enough that he is not afraid of arresting or killing the wrong person.

"Where did the Grand Commander start?"

Meng Qianqian was also quite curious about the details of solving the case.

Qingshuang said, "In the county government, the commander-in-chief arrested the county magistrate's family and tortured them to extract a confession. The county magistrate could not bear it and confessed that he was the one who hid the gold. Except for a few extremely important envoys, the rest of the thousand people had all mixed into the rebels."

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is dark under the lamp. No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long."

She knew that Beiliang had sent soldiers to infiltrate the rebels, but she did not expect that these thousand people would also infiltrate.

It was just that he met Lu Yuan this time. If someone else came to the border, he might not be able to defeat Beiliang.

Two days later, Lu Yuan and the King of Qi of Beiliang met to negotiate in a valley ten miles outside Yumen Pass.

After the Northern Liang delegation disappeared, the King of Qi led his army south to ask the Great Zhou for the people. If they could not hand them over, he would attack Yumen Pass.

Each side led an army of 30,000 and was ready for battle in the valley.

Lu Yuan brought Meng Qianqian into the negotiation tent.

Lu Lingxiao frowned: "Only two guards, is that enough? The King of Qi brought four masters!"

Although he and Lu Yuan did not get along, the overall situation was more important. He never thought of taking action against Lu Yuan before the end of the war.

Zhang Feihu put his arm around his shoulders and patted him: "Don't worry, Xiaojiu is very capable! She didn't want it herself, otherwise with her merits, she would have been able to become a general!"

Lu Lingxiao didn't believe this.

He admitted that Meng Xiaojiu was very skilled, but going into battle to kill the enemy was not a matter of showing off one's bravery. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly and was completely different from fighting alone.

I'm afraid that there were so many soldiers and she was the only female guard, so everyone protected her and her achievements were exaggerated!

"Why is Xiaojiu wearing a mask again?" Zhang Feihu touched his chin and glanced at Lu Lingxiao. He thought of something and asked suspiciously, "It seems that every time you are around, Xiaojiu will wear a mask. What did you do to Xiaojiu?"

Lu Lingxiao said: "How would I know her? I didn't do anything!"

Inside the tent.

Lu Yuan and the King of Qi of Beiliang sat across the table from each other.

The Emperor of Northern Liang is old. The King of Qi is his third son and is over thirty years old this year.

This man was very warlike. He was the one who masterminded the case of the diplomatic mission behind the scenes. Needless to say, he also secretly supported the rebels.

It would be a lie to say that it was not shameful that his tens of thousands of rebels fell into the hands of a civil official.

So he came early in the morning, eager to see the civil official who had caused him such a big mistake.

He looked at Lu Yuan without hesitation and sneered, "General Lu is so arrogant!"

Lu Yuan said expressionlessly: "Yu Zichuan."

Yu Zichuan brought a man in and threw him to the ground.

The man was so frightened that he trembled and didn't dare to raise his head.

Lu Yuan raised his lips and said, "County Magistrate Zhong, why didn't you say hello when you met an acquaintance?"

Yu Zichuan grabbed his hair and forced him to turn his face towards King Qi.

The King of Qi's expression changed.

Lu Yuan smiled carelessly and said, "King Qi is very surprised. Is he unhappy to see his nephew's son-in-law?"

If the King of Qi had been able to pretend to be calm before, then the title of nephew-in-law completely shocked him.

The prince of Qi's concubine picked a young illegitimate girl from a branch of the clan and gave her to County Magistrate Zhong as a concubine.

Even his brothers didn't find out this secret, so how could Lu Yuan know it?

County Magistrate Zhong rushed over and hugged the King of Qi's legs, crying bitterly, "Uncle King of Qi! Please save me! Save me!"

County Magistrate Zhong is already over 40 years old this year, older than the King of Qi, and it's unfortunate that he can even call him uncle.

The King of Qi kicked the man away and said, "Do you think you are qualified to call me uncle?"

A guard beside him drew his sword and stabbed at County Magistrate Zhong, but was stopped by Yu Zichuan.

The guard was about to fight with Yu Zichuan, but the King of Qi shouted, "Back off!"

The guard put away his sword and returned to the side of the King of Qi.

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Pour the tea."

Meng Qianqian reached out to take the teapot on the table.

Lu Yuanxu blocked it with his hand: "It's not you."

Meng Qianqian withdrew her hand.

The King of Qi looked at Lu Yuan coldly, his chest rising and falling violently, and said to the guards beside him: "Serve tea to the Grand Commander!"

The guard walked around the table and poured tea for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said with a half-smile: "If the King of Qi is not satisfied, I will send those ministers and your nephew-in-law to your Emperor of Beiliang. I wonder how he will view your collusion with the enemy, treason, deceiving your superiors and subordinates, and provoking disputes between the two countries?"

The King of Qi snorted coldly: "Do you think my father will believe you?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "As long as I spread the news, I don't have to worry about it. Someone will escort them safely to your father. If your father doesn't believe me, does he not believe your brothers and sisters?"

The fight for succession in Beiliang was much more exciting than that in Dazhou.

The King of Qi clenched his fists. "At worst, I will say that I can't swallow that breath and want to avenge Uncle Rong'en! Father loves Uncle Rong'en more than his sons, he won't blame me!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "But the one who killed King Rong En was you, King Qi."

Qi Wangteng stood up, pointed at Lu Yuan's nose, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was obviously your general from the Great Zhou who killed my uncle Rong En!"

Lu Yuan laughed sarcastically: "If you hadn't poisoned King Rong En first and leaked King Rong En's whereabouts to Lu Lingxiao, how could King Rong En have died tragically at the hands of Lu Lingxiao?"

The King of Qi blushed and said, "You are slandering me!"

Lu Yuan picked up the teacup and said, "King Qi, do you want to make a bet to see if I can produce evidence that you framed your own uncle?"

The King of Qi's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

After a long while, he sat back in his chair, panting: "What do you want?"

Lu Yuan said: "Retreat."

King Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you."

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

"What else do you want?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I was originally planning to just ask you to withdraw your troops, but I suddenly want to raise the price."

"Lu Yuan, don't be so arrogant!"

King Qi slammed his fist on the table. The guard behind him drew his sword and stabbed Lu Yuan, but was kicked out of the tent by Meng Qianqian!

Lu Yuan casually stretched out two jade-like fingers and said, "Add another two hundred thousand taels of gold, and I want your seventh prince to come to the Great Zhou as a hostage."

King Qi looked at Meng Qianqian, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he stopped pounding the table: "You are robbing me! Besides, my father will never give my seventh brother to you!"

Apart from Prince Rong'en, the person his father loved the most was the seventh prince born to Concubine Yu.

He could pay the two hundred thousand taels of gold himself, but if he dared to accept it, his father would kill him when he returned!

Lu Yuan sighed and said earnestly, "Even a poisonous tiger won't eat its own cubs. Your father won't kill you. At most, he will ignore you for a while. In fact, this may not be a bad thing for the King of Qi. The King of Qi can just go with the flow, hide his edge, bide his time, and let the other princes fight and compete. When they fight to the death, you can be the fisherman. Wouldn't that be great?"

If you force a man into a desperate situation and give him a rope, even if it is made of thorns, he will grit his teeth and grab it.

Meng Qianqian glanced at Lu Yuan.

When it comes to scheming against people's hearts, no one can match this man.
