The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Wearing a water blue dress and a set of sapphire jewelry, Shangguan Haitong looks like a fairy in the water, pure and elegant.

Xie Qiuguang got the confirmation and had dinner with them before leaving. By then, Ji Shengxian and others had already implemented the rescue plan.

Wangfu.

Shi Wangxi and the other two were tortured all night long, and their bodies were covered with wounds, and almost no part of them healed.

Ji Shengxian ordered people to carry them into the house and put them on the bed. The housekeeper took their pulses one by one and then prescribed medicine.

Xie Qiuguang stood outside the window and Ji Shengxian stepped out.

Among the three, Shi Wangxi was the most seriously injured, with the ulcer on his shoulder spreading to his arm.

The housekeeper needed to remove the rotten flesh before applying the medicine. Fortunately, all three of them were in a coma, so it was much easier.

Xie Qiuguang turned and walked towards the corridor: "Is everything arranged in the prison?"

"Don't worry about me. I found three corpses and disguised them as them. We won't be exposed." Ji Shengxian vowed.

After thinking for a while, Xie Qiuguang reminded: "Wait until their injuries are better before notifying Haitong, so as not to scare her by seeing the wounds."

"Oh." Ji Shengxian curled his lips.

When will the prince finally understand?

Miss Shangguan is not an ordinary delicate girl. She is ruthless and resourceful.

royal palace. Royal study room.

As soon as the court was dismissed, the emperor summoned Lu Xiao and Zhu Changji to meet him to inquire about the results of the interrogation.

Lu Xiao clasped his fists in shame and said, "Your Majesty, those three thieves are really stubborn. I have been questioning them all night, but they refused to say anything."

"Is this your answer? What about you, my dear minister? The same as him?" The emperor had a blank expression and cold eyes.

Zhu Changji took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "Although the thief is dead, he explained everything clearly before he died. This is the confession."

What?! Lu Xiao turned around in disbelief.

When was the confession made? Why didn't he know about it?

Yao Buwei went over to get the confession and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor took it and nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you can do a good job. Now that we know the den of thieves, we must eradicate it immediately!"

Zhu Changji bowed his head modestly: "I am injured and have worked hard all night. I am afraid that something might go wrong while doing my job. It would be better to hand this matter over to Commander Lu. He is in good spirits and will definitely be able to handle this for the emperor. Or a prince or a general would be more suitable to lead the team."

The emperor looked at Lu Xiao with an expression that was obviously displeased. "I wish you all the hard work on this case. It is unreasonable to hand it over to others at the last minute. Considering your injuries and your hard work all night, I order General Nangong to be your deputy general. Is that okay?"

Zhu Changji was terrified: "How dare I? But the emperor values ​​you, so I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Okay, I like your loyalty. Yao Buwei, pass on the order." The emperor ignored Lu Xiao.

Last time we captured a rich young man, we lost many of our royal guards, and this time we interrogated him all night and got nothing.

The emperor was quite disappointed.

If the talent is not suitable for the position, you should choose another candidate.

The two of them left the imperial study.

Lu Xiao blocked his way: "I was in jail all night, how come I didn't know about their confessions?"

Zhu Changji raised his eyebrows: "Perhaps they are willing to tell me, but don't want you to know. I still have the emperor's order, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

After saying that, he pushed aside the person who was blocking his way and left. How many times can a grasshopper jump after autumn?

Lu Xiao turned around and looked at Zhu Changji's receding back.

He was favored by the emperor and held military power.

This person must not be allowed to stay!

General's Mansion.

General Nangong, who was nearly fifty years old, received the imperial edict and kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace. The general's wife gave the eunuch a reward and ordered the housekeeper to see him off.

"Dad, what does the emperor mean by this?" asked a noble young man.

His name is Nangong Qi, and he is the second son of General Nangong.

The eldest son insisted on following the eldest princess, and there was no way to stop him, so he had to have another child.

Although it is hidden from outsiders, everyone who should know knows it.

General Nangong patted his clothes and turned around: "I have received the imperial edict, so I just need to do my job well. I don't have time to think about useless things."

"Oh." Nangong Qi is very good at martial arts, his eyes are bright, "Dad, can I go with you? I promise not to hold you back."

"Okay. But you can only be a soldier and you are not allowed to do anything reckless." General Nangong intended to train his son.

Nangong Qi happily punched the air: "I will definitely show my power and not embarrass my father."

"I just said you are not allowed to mess around." General Nangong shook his head helplessly.

Madam Nangong smiled gently and said, "Let him be. People at this age cannot sit still."

Young and full of vigor and ambition, General Nangong was satisfied and hoped that his second son would inherit his legacy.

Shangguanfu.

Shangguan Haitong was practicing calligraphy, and he looked out the window out of concern.

Huanshuang came in with tea and said, "Miss, are you worried that Commander Zhu is not doing well? The team has already set out."

"The accompanying person is General Nangong..." Shangguan Haitong found it hard not to be worried.

He seems to be a reckless man without human understanding, but in fact he is a hidden old fox.

He’s not easy to deal with...but General Nangong’s second son can be contacted.

I hope Zhu Changji can act better and not let anyone see the flaws. The plan has come to this point, and there must be no mistakes.

"Girl, are you still going to go out as planned this afternoon?" Huanshuang took away the cold tea.

Shangguan Haitong nodded: "The emperor is already dissatisfied with Commander Lu, it's time to take action against him."

Huanshuang agreed. That man actually didn't care about the girl's life and should be taught a lesson.

The city gate.

Zhu Changji led the team on horseback, and General Nangong accompanied him, and they transferred three hundred elite soldiers from the camp outside the capital.

The team set out in a mighty procession towards the place where the bandits were hiding.

Zhu Changji clasped his fists and said, "I am injured, and I am afraid that I am willing but not strong enough. I will trouble General Nangong for this journey."

General Nangong raised his head proudly: "No, no. We are all working for the emperor. Only by working together can we get it done."

Wearing soldier's clothes, Nangong Qi mixed in the team.

Hearing the two people's polite remarks, he nodded. How could a man have so much to say?

The team's destination was a remote village, just outside the patrol range of the main camp.

The village is surrounded by open space and it is difficult to hide.

From a distance, Zhu Changji ordered to rest on the spot.

The scouts went first to investigate the situation, while the main force waited. No unauthorized action was allowed, so as not to alert the enemy.

The scout approached cautiously with his body bent, and as the distance got closer, he began to crawl on the ground at tricky angles.

General Nangong looked at him with appreciation: "Commander Zhu, the soldiers under your command are quite capable."

"It is his honor to be praised by General Nangong." Zhu Changji knew the situation in the village better than anyone else.

Not long ago, he took away half of the people. The rest will die here today.

Nangong Qi kept looking around, obviously getting impatient. When will the fight start?

The scout came back after figuring out the situation: "There are about fifty people inside, and the guards are relatively loose. But the village is surrounded by open areas, and they will easily scatter and flee if we rush over. I suggest that the troops be divided into several groups to form a siege and not let any thieves go."

Zhu Changji turned around and asked, "General Nangong has extensive combat experience. What do you think?"

General Nangong looked at the sky and said, "It's just past lunch time, they can't run fast. Commander Zhu will lead a team to intercept them from the other side, and I will lead the team to attack from this side. We will all advance in a fan-shaped manner, and when we meet, we will form an encirclement."
