I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

This method is really vicious. They are planning to bury all the soldiers of Xiliang Kingdom here.

That bastard Cong Chongqiu, if he hadn't done it on purpose, how could so many soldiers have been lost in the last war.

It turned out that this was all done by Cong Chongqiu and the enemy forces in collaboration.

The more Shi Qiang thought about the contents of the letter, the more he felt that Cong Chongqiu had indeed betrayed the Western Liang Kingdom.

"What do you mean!?" Cong Chongqiu looked at Shi Qiang with confusion.

What do you mean only the three of us know?

Does that mean there's a traitor among the three of them?

Thinking of this, Cong Chongqiu glared at Shi Qiang and cursed him.

"You mean I'm the traitor?"

"I was told that you sneakily called the old clan leader over here, and it turns out you wanted to put the blame on me."

"If I hadn't followed you, were you planning to just convict me of a crime?"

Shi Qiang's heart was trembling with fear at Cong Chongqiu's shouting, but he still stiffened his neck and refuted with gritted teeth.

"You know it in your heart."

"If you hadn't told the enemy about requesting reinforcements, how would the reinforcements have known about it?"

"Also, it was you who refused to give me all your troops last time that led to our defeat."

"Why didn't you give me soldiers at that time? It was because... Humph!"

When Shi Qiang reached this point, he looked at Cong Chongqiu's murderous eyes and did not dare to finish his words.

It’s all the old patriarch’s fault. Why did he reveal the contents of the letter?

Knowing that the traitor was right in front of them and that they were no match for Cong Chongqiu, couldn't they find a reason to cover up the matter of the letter?

Now, the old patriarch did not hide it and attacked Cong Chongqiu directly, but Cong Chongqiu denied it.

Looking at Cong Chongqiu's expression, if he continued talking, Cong Chongqiu would kill him on the spot.

"Let your father's dog fart!" Cong Chongqiu sprayed water at Shi Qiang's big face.

"Your father has a dog brain. Just because you slammed my lips like that, I am the traitor?"

"With your two balls of brain, what can you figure out?"

"You can't even see through such a simple plot to sow discord. Why don't you just wash your neck clean and let the enemy chop it off..."

As soon as Cong Chongqiu heard Shi Qiang's words, he knew what was written in the letter without even reading the contents.

"The enemy just randomly released a pigeon, and you jumped up and down so busy that it made you look like a fool."

"You are so active. I suspect that you are the one who colluded with the enemy and deliberately got this letter from the enemy in order to frame me."

Cong Chongqiu glared at Shi Qiang fiercely and spoke very smoothly.

Shi Qiang was so shocked by Cong Chongqiu that he had no power to fight back. It was not until Cong Chongqiu stopped talking that he took a step back, staring at Cong Chongqiu and shouting,

"You--you're blaming me for something else!"

“This is my first time in Crescent City. How can I collude with the enemy?”

"As for you, you have been stationed in Crescent City all this time, so you have plenty of opportunities to collude with the enemy."

Shi Qiang moved towards the old patriarch while speaking. When he got to the old patriarch's side, his voice became even louder.

"Also, the Wumabu official was killed right under your nose. Can you not take any responsibility at all?"

"So many archers and secret guards were wiped out overnight. Who could have such ability?"

"Ha!" Shi Qiang glanced at the old patriarch, and seeing his increasingly gloomy face, he spoke even more excitedly.

"I just don't believe that a madman could kill so many masters without even a trace of a fight."

"This is obviously a crime committed by an acquaintance. It's you-----"

Shi Qiang raised his hand and pointed at Cong Chongqiu angrily.

"It's your father!" Cong Chongqiu sneered and retorted, "If only I could deal with so many masters so easily without anyone noticing."

After a pause, Cong Chongqiu stared at Shi Qiang and continued,

"I'll kill you, you pig-brained one, first!"

His martial arts skills are very impressive in the army, but not strong enough to kill His Majesty's secret guards.

Even if he wanted to kill Shi Qiang, he couldn't do it with one strike.

When Shi Qiang heard that Cong Chongqiu wanted to kill him, he trembled with fear.

"You want to kill someone to silence him?!"

"If something happens to me..."

"Shut up!" The old patriarch looked at the two generals arguing with each other like shrews, and his head was throbbing with anger.

The old patriarch glanced coldly at Shi Qiang, and finally his gaze fell darkly on Cong Chongqiu.

After a moment, the old patriarch said calmly,

"I believe that General Cong will not do anything that would lead to treason."

"This matter-----" The old patriarch lowered his eyes and looked at the letter in his hand.

"It must be a plot by the enemy to sow discord. Don't trust it."

"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should work together to capture Shuitian City before the New Year."

"It is said that the livestock raised in Shuitian City can be eaten. Instead of arguing, it is better to think of a way to capture Shuitian City as soon as possible and give the soldiers more food."

The old patriarch believed 20 percent of the contents of the letter.

However, there is not enough evidence at the moment, so it is not appropriate to turn against Cong Chongqiu directly.

What Shi Qiang said was indeed what puzzled him.

However, he still needs to investigate this matter and cannot just convict Cong Chongqiu so easily.

Shi Qiang looked at the old patriarch in shock. He didn't expect that the old patriarch would just blow off such a big thing so lightly.

How is this possible!!!

"Old Patriarch..."

"No need to say more." The old patriarch glanced at Shi Qiang calmly and interrupted him directly.

"This matter ends here. Do not talk nonsense in the army and disrupt the morale of the troops!"

With Shi Qiang's brain, he can really do such a brainless thing.

Shi Qiang was so angry that his teeth were clacking, "......"

Who is disrupting the morale of the troops? It must be a traitor!

He originally wanted to get the old patriarch to join him in forming a united front, but he didn't expect the old patriarch to be so cowardly.

Cong Chongqiu sneered at Shi Qiang, then looked at the old patriarch with a cold gaze.

"The old patriarch is still very righteous..."

"I have to see the wounded, so I won't stay any longer."

After saying that, Cong Chongqiu turned around and was about to walk out. Just as he took a step, he turned on his toes, walked to the military doctor, and snatched the carrier pigeon from the military camp's hand.

With a "crack", Cong Chongqiu directly broke the neck of the cooing pigeon.

"Just use it to nourish the wounded..."

Shi Qiang widened his eyes in shock. After watching Cong Chongqiu leave with the dead pigeon, he felt a chill on his neck.

He felt the threat from Cong Chongqiu, as if that blow was twisting his neck.

"Old Patriarch..."

Shi Qiang looked at Cong Chongqiu's arrogant back, and looked at the old patriarch with a depressed and angry expression.

This is simply too lawless. Don't even want to give face to the Wu Ma family?

Does Cong Chongqiu, this reckless man, know the power and status of the Wu Ma family? He actually dares to threaten the two of them so arrogantly.
