Or maybe Wang Wenxu was just too confident, as he actually wrote on it that General Shen had been poisoned to death, and that Princess Zhan had been imprisoned in a water dungeon on a pretext he had found.

It was written in black and white, and Wang Wenxu had no way of refutation!

It can only be said that Wang Wenxu was too confident in himself, so he thought it was foolproof and wrote a letter to ask for credit.

The evidence is conclusive and Wang Wenxu has no way to defend himself!

Nangong Ze sighed and looked at Wang Wenxu with confusion:

"Why? General Shen is so good to you, why do you want to betray him?"

Wang Wenxu was already as if his soul had been taken out of him at this time, sitting on the ground helplessly. When he heard Nangong Ze's culture, he laughed in vain.

When he looked up, Wang Wenxu glared at Nangong Ze and said viciously:

"Yes! He raised me for decades, and I always thought he treated me as his own son, but I didn't expect that he would adopt you as his adopted son after just a few years since you came here!"

"He has adopted you as his adopted son, but what about me? Who am I? Since he is unkind, how can you blame me for being unjust? He won't live much longer anyway, so he might as well turn into a ladder to help me ascend to the sky!"

When Wang Wenxu said this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he was crazy.

Nangong Ze looked at Wang Wenxu for a long while, closed his eyes and slowly spoke:

"General Shen has already recorded your name in the family tree. In his name, you are not an adopted son, but a legitimate son. He wanted to tell you on your birthday, but unfortunately, you killed him on your birthday..."

Nangong Ze's words shocked Wang Wenxu. He looked up at Nangong Ze with turbulent eyes.

On his birthday that day, he personally put poison into the longevity noodles and served it to General Shen.

Every year on his birthday, General Shen would accompany him to eat longevity noodles, so Wang Wenxu knew that General Shen would definitely eat this bowl of noodles.

I still remember that day, when General Shen saw him coming, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said mysteriously:

"Xu'er's birthday is coming again, and I have prepared a surprise for you. I should have given it to you a long time ago, but it was difficult to accomplish. Fortunately..."

"General Shen, eat quickly. If the noodles clump together, they won't taste good."

"Eh? Okay, okay, let's eat first, let's talk about it first."

Wang Wenxu was in no mood to listen to what General Shen had to say that day. He just wanted him to eat the bowl of life-threatening longevity noodles as soon as possible.

But now that I think about it...

What General Shen wanted to tell him that day was that he had already treated him as his own son, and persuaded the elders of the clan to register him under their name as the legitimate son?

Wang Wenxu only felt a "boom" in his head, and his whole body seemed to be frozen. He looked at Nangong Ze and said:

"You, lied to me?"

Nangong Ze opened his eyes and looked straight at Wang Wenxu, but the hatred in his eyes dissipated a little, and he said lightly:

"If you think it's not, then just treat it as it is not."

Wang Wenxu collapsed, but it was too late.

He was taken to prison, and what awaited him was only military punishment.

Shen Qinglan was relieved to see that the matter was settled. He then looked at Nangong Ze and the generals and said:

"Now that this matter is settled, I have one more thing to ask for your help, generals!"

Wang Wenxu was captured. Now the only generals in the Pingxi Army who have a say are those present, including Nangong Ze.

Although Nangong Ze and others were willing to ask Shen Qinglan to ask the Pingxi Army to send troops to support the king, they still had to have some concerns.

"We can provide support, but Pingxi borders Xinyi. I'm afraid that if we move, Xinyi's cavalry will enter Pingxi. By then, we can only protect the head but not the tail."

Shen Qinglan naturally understood Nangong Ze's worries. She had thought of this at the beginning. She paused and then said:

"I have sent people to Xinyi. They will contain Xinyi. I think your worries will not come true."

"This is just your guess. What if your people fail?"

Nangong Ze’s problem is also the problem of several other generals.

Shen Qinglan looked at the way everyone was looking at her, and she understood.

If there is no way to make them believe that Xinyi will not make trouble while they are there to provide support, I am afraid they will not send too many troops even if they do.

Just as they said, whether in the capital or Pingxi, the people are innocent.

Nangong Ze looked at Shen Qinglan's face with a hint of disappointment, thought for a moment and said:

"We can send 30,000 troops to support first, and the rest must stay behind to guard against Xinyi's surprise attack."

Shen Qinglan pondered for a while, looked at the sky, estimated the time, and finally nodded:

"If my people have no news before noon tomorrow, I will follow your wishes and send 30,000 people back to Beijing for support. But if my people can provide proof, I hope..."

"Then I will personally lead 100,000 troops back to the capital to defend the king."

Nangong Ze directly took over Shen Qinglan's words.

Upon hearing this, the other generals hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Although Wang Wenxu is gone, their identities are similar, but everyone knows that Nangong Ze's military talent is much higher than theirs.

Even when General Shen was alive, he couldn't help but praise this young General Shen.

Oh, no, maybe it was General Nangong Ze, the Nangong Liuzi who should have passed away long ago.

As long as they are military generals, they all admire Huo Zhanting and respect the Nangong family.

The battle that Nangong's family fought was brutal, and six sons died without a single one returning.

He defended the border of Dayong with his life.

Although they didn't know how this Nangong Ze survived, and why he didn't return to the capital after surviving, but instead changed his appearance to become General Shen, but...

It still couldn't change their respect for Nangong Ze.

It took Shen Qinglan four days to travel from the capital to Pingxi Army. If she waited another day and still didn't get any news from Shuwen and the others, she would have no choice but to wait any longer.

She could afford to wait, but the people in the capital could not, especially Huo Zhanting.

Presumably, the Queen's men should be arriving soon...

Huo Zhanting would not show mercy when it came to killing his enemies, but the Queen's men were all from Dayong...

Shen Qinglan closed his eyes and prayed that everything would go smoothly.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

Shen Qinglan couldn't sleep, so he left the tent and sat on a lookout tower, looking at the campfire in the distance.

The sky is dotted with stars, which seem to be connected to the bonfire in the distance, which looks quite a unique scene.

But Shen Qinglan also knew that the bonfires that Yaoyao was looking at belonged to the Xinyi Army.

As long as there is any movement from the Pingxi Army, the pack of wolves will attack together and tear Dayong into pieces.

Shen Qinglan felt a little disappointed. She didn't know whether Shuwen and Xie Shaoshang had succeeded. If not, even if they could only bring back 30,000 soldiers and horses, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst.

At this moment, a wine jug appeared in front of Shen Qinglan:

"If you can't sleep, drink something and you'll fall asleep."

Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Nangong Ze looking down at her.

Nangong Ze looks very similar to Nangong Mingyue, especially his eyes. In a trance, Shen Qinglan seemed to see Nangong Mingyue.

She took the wine with a smile, without being pretentious, and just took a sip before asking:

"Why isn't General Nangong asleep? Could it be that he can't sleep either?"

Nangong Ze drank a sip of wine in silence. After a moment of silence, when Shen Qinglan thought he would not speak, Nangong Ze suddenly asked:

"My father and sister...are they okay?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at Nangong Ze and said quietly:

"Don't you have the answer in your heart?"
