Iron Cross Fire

Ten minutes later, all the civil and military officials gathered in the hall.

Seeing Huang Zheng's embarrassed look, everyone was in doubt.

Among the crowd, a slender figure was particularly eye-catching. She was wearing a bright yellow long skirt and a golden flower feather on her head. She was extremely beautiful.

The woman was called Lu Yufei. She was a favorite of Long Qianyu. She served as the Jade Guardian in front of the palace. Although the Jade Guardian in front of the palace was only a third-rank official, it was very important. When the empress was away, she could listen to government affairs on behalf of the empress.

At this time, Lu Yufei stood quietly in front of the throne. The civil and military officials around her were all respectful and did not dare to be presumptuous.

But Huang Zheng was full of disdain.

This time, the first person to be eliminated in the rush to return to the imperial city was this Lu Yufei. After all, she was the empress's confidant, and her position was special, so she must not be left alive.

"Huang Zheng."

At this time, Lu Yufei looked at Huang Zheng quietly, hiding her inner anxiety: "You followed His Majesty and led hundreds of thousands of troops to wipe out the pirates. Why did you come back alone?"

"Where is Her Majesty?"

It must be said that Lu Yufei is worthy of being the one who often accompanies the Queen. Her few words are crisp and pleasant, but full of majesty.

Shua!

At this moment, the eyes of the surrounding civil and military officials were also locked on Huang Zheng, waiting for her answer.

Huang Zheng deliberately avoided looking at Lu Yufei, slowly looked around, and made a very sad look: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in trouble..."

What?

Hearing this, both Lu Yufei and the civil and military officials present were shocked. WeNXuEmi.Cc

Especially Lu Yufei, her delicate body trembled, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and said to Huang Zheng: "What did you say? What happened to Your Majesty? What happened?"

Huh!

Huang Zheng still couldn't stand Lu Yufei. He took a deep breath and said to the people around him: "At that time, your majesty and I led the army to surround Dragon King Island. At that time, we deployed troops and surrounded Dragon King Island tightly. We were sure to win. Who knew that the female pirate leader would anticipate us every step of the way."

"The siege was as solid as a rock, but they broke through it. In the end, your majesty personally fought with the female leader. As a result, your majesty was seriously injured and sank to the bottom of the sea."

"Our hundreds of thousands of troops also collapsed and fled in defeat."

This...

At this moment, the whole hall was dead silent. Whether it was Lu Yufei or the civil and military officials, they were all stunned, their heads buzzing, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

This time, the extermination of pirates failed, and the defeat was so tragic.

Soon, an official reacted and couldn't help saying, "How is this possible? Our Nanyun army of hundreds of thousands can't deal with a mere pirate organization? Moreover, your majesty is a master of military tactics, how could the other party predict the opportunity?"

"Yes..."

"There must be something fishy about this."

"How could a battle that is sure to win be lost?"

The surrounding discussions came one after another. Huang Zheng looked extremely sad on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.

"Everyone!"

The next second, Huang Zheng looked around the audience and said word by word: "At that time, I was just like you, puzzled, but later when I retreated, I caught a pirate. According to the pirate, there was a spy inside our Nanyun Continent."

Wow!

The last five words were like a thunderclap on the calm lake. In an instant, the whole hall was boiling. All the civil and military officials present were filled with righteous indignation and scolded.

"I thought so. There was a traitor."

"That's right. Otherwise, how could we lose a battle that we were sure to win?"

"General, tell me who this traitor is?"

Faced with the questioning of hundreds of officials, Huang Zheng's face was filled with grief and anger, but there was a glimmer of cunning in his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Yufei, shouting, "It's her. She betrayed His Majesty and our Nanyun Continent."

Yes, Huang Zheng had been laying the groundwork for so long before, and his ultimate goal was to frame Lu Yufei. Use this false charge to get rid of this biggest stumbling block.

Swish!

After the words fell, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall locked onto Lu Yufei, and each of them was extremely surprised.

She betrayed His Majesty?

This...is impossible. You know, she is a favorite of His Majesty. How could she betray His Majesty when she asked for His Majesty's grace?

Lu Yufei was also shocked. It seemed that she had never expected that Huang Zheng would point the finger at herself in the end.
