after i found out my new wife was a man

When Fang Bo left, he bowed to Xie Ling and Wei Wei, with a little apology.

When Xie Linghe stepped into the threshold, he saw He Yaoqing kneading his joints with his head down, with a gloomy expression, and when he saw himself coming in, he quickly stood up, speechless, like a child who had done something wrong.

"It's because I'm not strict with my orders that something happened," He Yaoqing said before Xie Lingyu could speak, "I've ordered to go down and send more people to Lord Xiehou, don't be angry, okay? "

Xie Lingyu walked to him and sat down, sighed: "I blame you for what you did, and you didn't know about it, you were just worried."

Once this happened, how many innocent soldiers and civilians would have to die in vain, as well as my father... Father is old after all.

Xie Ling and no one can blame, they can only hate themselves for not being able to go to the battlefield.

He Yaoqing saw that he really didn't look like he was angry with him, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke again after a while, with an imperceptibly complicated and lonely voice: "I never thought that Uncle Fang would do this."

All along, except for Xie Lingyu, this old man has been the person he trusts the most.

Xie Ling rubbed his hair comfortingly: "What's next? What are you going to do."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Uncle Fang is right. The matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back." He Yaoqing looked at Xie Lingyu with worry in his eyes, and held his hand more and more tightly, "I will do it as soon as possible." , you believe me."

Feeling the increasingly heavy force coming from his hand, Xie Ling understood his anxiety and firmness, so he only said: "Well, I believe you."

And taking advantage of this time, the news of the fourth prince's murder gradually spread throughout the city.

The cliffs that were stained red with the blood of Beidi people had already been sealed off, and the surroundings were guarded. Under the thunderous anger of the emperor, they dared not make any mistakes.

Dali Temple Chancellor finally arrived with a group of people, but one of the assistants was suddenly sweaty, his teeth were rattling, and he was trembling about not being able to hold the thing he just took out from the Beidi people's arms, his face was bloodless, The thing in the hand finally fell to the ground.

——Under the eyes of everyone, several letters and a jade pendant fell to the ground. The jade pendant was engraved with a four-clawed golden dragon, and the exposed corner of the letter was bright red. It was the private seal of the prince!

At the same time, in some unknown prosperous but dark places, restaurants, docks, brothels... rumors are about to spread from these places, until they intensify and can no longer be stopped.

border.

After a fierce battle, Xie Hou led the army slowly into Huancheng.

This is an extremely small city, and it was too easy to win—it was so easy that Xie Hou was wary, and always felt that something was wrong.

The enemy general had already been put on the ground, and the rest of the captives were tied up and kneeled behind him. They were in a state of distress, but their eyes were still fierce.

Seeing Xie Hou walk in, the sergeant who was escorting the enemy general kicked him on the back violently, then pressed his cheek to the ground forcefully, and shouted sharply: "You're not being honest!"

The enemy pressed his face tightly to the ground, but his eyes were still turned and looked straight up, his eyes were stern, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from the person he was staring at with his eyes.

Xie Hou frowned, and didn't look at him in disgust, he just asked: "How many people have been captured? Are there still people in the city?"

"Back to the general, we have captured more than 320 people," said a young general, recalling the scene they saw when they searched the city just now, his eyes were red, "No...no civilians."

In the entire city, there was not even a single living citizen.

"It's a beast," Master Xie said in a majestic and cold voice, "I killed them all, and the enemy hung their heads on the city gate to comfort the dead souls of our soldiers and people."

The little general clasped his fists in both hands, knelt on one knee and replied, "Yes!"

Xie Hou was about to turn around and leave, when the general from Beidi suddenly spoke.

"Hahaha... We are beasts, General Xie, the frontier is far away, you must have not received the news, right?" The enemy general laughed strangely and fanatically, and continued to speak hysterically, almost bloody. "Who in your capital doesn't know now, your prince! The prince of a country colluded with foreign enemies and killed the prince. Do you know why we entered the country like a no man's land..."

Xie Hou's heart shuddered, knowing that he had been tricked.

And before the Beidi soldier could say the last words, his head was beheaded, blood was splashed everywhere, his mouth was still open, and his eyes were wide open.

"When you are about to die, you still dare to spread rumors, and the chariot is broken and the corpse is whipped to your advantage." Xie Hou retracted his sword, blood dripped down the tip of the sword, his eyes circled around, and he raised his voice solemnly, "Our army is victorious day after day." , How could it be as he said! If the order continues, if someone believes in rumors and spreads comments, it will be a conspiracy, intending to shake the morale of the army, and they will be dealt with directly by military law!"

All the soldiers present folded their fists and knelt down: "The last general obeys the order!"

Xie Houye nodded slightly, his face remained unchanged, but he was surprised and upset in his heart. After all, he didn't think that Beidi would use a city as a bait, but it was just to spread a rumor that could be broken at a glance.

Xie Hou looked in the direction of the capital, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

But he has no other choice now, let alone be the first to panic. All he can do is try his best to suppress it. No matter what the facts are, he only hopes that this rumor can be stopped in the capital and will not become more serious and affect the border areas. battle situation.

——But the fact is that things backfired.

Inside the palace.

Emperor Jing Ren looked at the letter jade pendant presented, his expression changed suddenly, his chest heaved violently, and he kicked the table case violently for a while, making a loud bang.

The Dali Temple Prime Minister who was kneeling under the hall lowered his head to the ground, and his clothes were almost soaked in cold sweat.

"You are so courageous!" Emperor Jing Ren finally spoke, but asked the crime, "Murdering the prince and slandering the prince, do you know what crime you should be guilty of!"

Hearing this, the Dali Temple Prime Minister was shocked and almost lost his wits: "I am wronged! This thing was found from the people of Beidi under the open eyes, the Holy One is clearly aware!"

"You still dare to quibble! The prince has always been kind and respectful, how could he do such a thing?" Emperor Jingren looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person, and he didn't even ask any more questions, and directly ordered, "Come here. People, drag him down for careful interrogation, and arrest all the people present at the same time, don't let anyone go!"

The chancellor of Dali Temple kowtowed unceasingly, a puddle of blood had already congealed in front of him, screaming miserably for injustice at the top of his lungs, but he was dragged out of the hall after all.

Behind him, Emperor Jingren looked at his figure indifferently, closed his eyes, and whispered to his confidants beside him: "Block the news, no matter if it is an official or a guard, all the people present on the cliff today will be arrested, and they must not be leaked." out."

"Also," Emperor Jingren paused at this point, "pass to the crown prince."

Eunuch Yuan took the order, and then hastily bowed and retreated.

Emperor Jing Ren stared down at the letter and jade pendant on the case, and wanted to reach out to pick it up, only to realize that his hands were trembling and he could hardly pick it up.

After all, he knew at a glance that no matter whether it was the jade pendant or the private seal on the letter, they were all real, and even the handwriting was very close to what the prince had written in his own hand.

But this matter concerns the face of the royal family, so the "truth" must be that the prince is innocent.

Therefore, the Dali Temple Chancellor and the group of people on the cliff today, including those hundreds of guards, can only be the culprits.

However, the prince in the East Palace was still immersed in the complacency of success, and he didn't know that the disaster was coming, so someone gave him a "big gift."
