The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

As expected, when the notice was posted, the people in the city were excited.

In the past, the common people were the protected party. In times of war, young and strong men were forcibly recruited to fight on the battlefield.

But this time it was different. They did not need to go to the battlefield, but they could contribute to the defense of their country. No one objected. On the contrary, they all went up the mountain to chop firewood.

As there were more people, the piles of firewood and withered grass grew higher and higher. In just one day, they became a hill.

He Lianhuan ordered General Wu to lead people to strengthen the defense of the city tower, while Li Changliang was given the task of pouring oil on the dead grass.

When Li Changliang accepted the order, surprise appeared in his eyes.

He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu took in his expression completely and said nothing, but they were sneering in their hearts.

As the saying goes, if you catch an adulterer, you will become a pair; if you catch a thief, you will see the dirty one.

If Li Changliang is really a spy, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

As long as he dares to do anything and the evidence is conclusive, it will be the best opportunity to eradicate him.

Late at night.

Taiping City was dark, and the whole city fell into silence. The people who had worked hard all day fell into a deep dream.

However, the city gate was brightly lit.

Li Changliang is busy with his people. Those who don't know the real situation will think how responsible and patriotic he is, and how much he wants to arrange the defense outside the city as soon as possible.

Little did he know that the soaked dry firewood and dry grass were not oil at all, but water.

Throwing wet dry firewood outside the city would make it impossible to ignite it, and the fire attack plan would fail.

Vice General Chen, who was staring at Li Changliang in the dark, clenched his fists angrily, but did not alert him.

He watched helplessly as Li Changliang ordered him to soak all the firewood that the people had worked so hard to cut with water.

Vice General Chen's eyes moved from Li Changliang to the soldiers guarding the city gate, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Even standing in the dark, he could tell that what Li Changliang poured on the dry firewood was not oil. He didn't believe that the soldiers who were close at hand couldn't notice it.

Now that they had discovered it, they did not announce it and allowed Li Changliang to do whatever he wanted. There was only one possibility. These soldiers were Li Changliang's men and had already rebelled and surrendered.

Vice General Chen's heartbeat was pounding. He did not dare to delay any longer and went to report He Lianhuan as quickly as possible.

He Lianhuan's room was lit with lights. He was neatly dressed and sitting at his desk reading, as if waiting for something.

Before Vice General Chen could rush into the room, He Lianhuan heard the rapid footsteps. He put down his book, put on his fox fur, and opened the door.

At this moment, the door of another room was also opened, and Gu Wangshu walked out of it.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then followed Vice General Chen in the direction of the city gate.

When they arrived, the gate of Taiping City had been opened wide, and Li Changliang was ordering people to transport wet firewood out of the city.

At this critical moment, He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu arrived with five thousand elite soldiers and surrounded Li Changliang and others without any explanation. Their bows and arrows were cocked, and their sharp arrows were aimed at the people surrounded.

The change happened so suddenly that Li Changliang was not prepared at all.

It was already dark, and he thought that the second prince should go to bed, but he never thought that the second prince would lead someone to the city gate.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

He Lianhuan glanced at him indifferently and did not say much to a treasonous villain like him. He made a mockery of Vice Admiral Chen.

Vice General Chen understood and gave an order, and the harsh sound of gongs resounded through the night sky, accompanied by the thumping of war drums.

Vice General Chen ordered his men to ride on horseback and beat the gong while galloping around Taiping City.

The commotion was so loud that it immediately woke up the people in the city.

When the sleeping General Wu heard this, he lost all sleep and thought that the enemy had arrived at Taiping City in advance. He was so frightened that he rolled out of bed, wrapped himself in clothes and rushed out of the room.

When he arrived, the city gate was already surrounded by people, with three floors inside and three floors outside. They all had angry faces, raised their hands and shouted.

"Kill him—kill the traitor—"

General Wu immediately raised his voice.

Who to kill?Who is the traitor?

He raised his head, followed the swaying red palace lantern at the city gate, and immediately saw He Lianhuan riding a horse.

The radiance of the red light cast a layer of red light on his body, like an evil spirit, exuding a murderous aura.

General Wu spent a lot of effort before he squeezed through the crowd and came to He Lianhuan.

He knelt on one knee and held his fist in front of his chest.

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness the Second Prince."

He Lianhuan looked down at him, drew out his sword and threw it in front of him.

"Your people, do it yourself."

General Wu picked up the cold sword on the ground with trembling hands, stood up, and looked at the people in the encirclement.

When he met Li Changliang's gaze, General Wu was filled with disbelief, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

"I wonder what mistake Adjutant Li made?"

As soon as these words came out, before He Lianhuan could reply, the people behind him started shouting excitedly.

"What mistake did he make? He committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"We went to the mountain to chop firewood in response to the Second Prince's announcement, in order to repel the enemy with fire attacks, but Li Changliang poured water on all the dry firewood. What was his intention?"

"Although we are ordinary people, we also have a patriotic heart. Only when we have a country can we have a home. How can we have a home when the country is broken? We still understand this truth, but Li Changliang wants to go to Taiping City regardless of the tens of thousands of people in Taiping City. The lives of the people are like straw, and it is not a pity to die for such evil thieves."

The words of the people were like thunder exploding on General Wu's head.

However, this was not even more terrifying. When he heard He Lianhuan's words, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Li Changliang is not the only traitor."

General Wu suddenly raised his head: "Your Highness... none of my subordinates."

He Lianhuan sneered: "Of course I know you don't have it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the guards who were also surrounded at the city gate.

"The people who defended the city became rebels. Is this the army governed by General Wu?"

Gu Wangshu was as calm as Gu Wangshu, but at this moment his anger was also rushing to the top of his head.

There were not just one or two guards, but hundreds of them. With so many of them being instigated by Li Changliang, it was no wonder that Taiping City was easily captured in the previous life.

"This palace will give you a chance. As long as you kill Li Changliang with your own hands, I will believe that you are not an accomplice with him."

General Wu was forced to do so.

Witnessed by the people, General Wu mercilessly killed Li Changliang, and other rebels were also killed by random arrows. At this point, all the spies in Taiping City were dead.

Gu Wangshu looked at He Lianhuan with sincere admiration in his heart.

There were so many traitors, and he just used a little trick to catch them all.

Not only that, it will not trigger any rebellious psychology among the other defenders in Tianping City.

You know, killing one Li Changliang is different from killing more than 100 defenders.

No one would easily believe that there were so many rebellious people, so He Lianhuan gave Li Changliang the task of laying dry firewood.

He cannot accomplish such a big task by himself. Anyone who helps him water the water or turns a blind eye is his accomplice. With such a clear thing in front of everyone, it can easily resolve their rebellious psychology and treat the second prince. That’s why I’m convinced.

The people will also be more convinced of this prince who has only arrived in Taiping City for a few days.

The fruits of their labor were destroyed, and all their anger was naturally vented on Li Changliang and others, hoping that they would be executed to protect the safety of Taiping City.

This crisis ended with great fanfare.

The dead bodies of Li Changliang and others were thrown outside the city.
