Cai Qi was tied up, the door was kicked open with a bang, and Wei Tiankuang walked in with a grim face.

The secret guard bowed and said, "General, half an hour ago, Cai Qi sneaked into your study in his night clothes and searched everywhere in the study. He was caught by our subordinates on the spot."

"It's unfair, General! I was framed!" Cai Qi shouted at the top of his lungs.

Wei Tiankuang sat on the upper floor, took a sip of tea, and after getting rid of the alcohol in his mouth, he said slowly, "Unjust? Who wronged you?"

"It's Jiang Xiubai! Jiang Xiubai framed me!"

Jiang Xiubai was surprised, with some doubt in his eyes: "Commander Cai, I know you don't like me. But I can't let you dress like this and walk around the general's study."

"What are you looking for?" Wei Tiankuang looked at Cai Qi and asked coldly.

"General, I, Cai Qi, have been following you for almost twenty years! How could I possibly be King Rui's man?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he was bribed by King Rui in recent years." Jiang Xiubai said.

"Shut up!" Cai Qichao and Jiang Xiubai yelled.

"Shut up!" Wei Tiankuang's eyes were so cold that Cai Qi shivered unconsciously.

Wei Tiankuang ordered the secret guards: "Go to his room and search it carefully."

"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and left.

"General, I am really wronged. I heard that Jiang Xiubai wrote a letter, so I went to the study and wanted to get the letter back." Cai Qi didn't care about anything else and told the truth.

"What letter is so important? Why would he dress like this and sneak in to get it?" Wei Tiankuang looked at Jiang Xiubai in confusion.

"This excuse is too bad. It's a letter of apology written by me." Jiang Xiubai walked to the desk, where a letter was lying quietly, very conspicuous.

If you really came for this letter, why would you search everywhere?

Wei Tiankuang took the letter, opened it and took a look.

Because of the Juque incident a few days ago, he was a little cold towards Jiang Xiubai. This was indeed a letter of apology.

Wei Tiankuang threw the letter to Cai Qi: "You sneaked into my study just for this?"

Cai Qi’s face turned pale when he saw the contents of the letter on the ground.

Jiang Xiubai's lips curved slightly.

He had already known that Xiao Shitou was Cai Qi's man, so he devised this plan.

At this time, the secret guard who was searching came back with a stack of letters.

"General, found these."

Wei Tiankuang took it and looked at it carefully.

These are letters between Cai Qi and his wife.

"Explain to me, what do these things mean, 'strict inspections during this period', 'I will keep my promise', 'it's all over once the general finds out'?"

Cai Qi looked pale and his beard was shaking.

"General, I did not betray the Wei Family Army!"

"Then give me an explanation!"

"I...my wife is from Xinghua Village in Yunzhou, I..."

Wei Tiankuang raised his hand to interrupt him and looked at Jiang Xiubai: "You go out first."

Jiang Xiubai cupped his hands: "Yes."

After Jiang Xiubai went out, Wei Tiankuang stood up and kicked Cai Qi.

"You are so bold! I asked you to clean up the mess, but you dared to leave such a big handle behind my back! What? Do you want to betray me for a woman?"

"I dare not! I was bewildered for a moment..."

"I think you are not obsessed by ghosts, but lust! What? What promise did you make to her? Are you going to kill me to avenge your wife?"

"I and my wife have never had such thoughts! My wife just wants to retrieve the remains of her parents." Cai Qi said as he kowtowed continuously.

Wei Tiankuang looked down at the top of Cai Qi's head and said, "I'll give you a chance. Kill your wife with your own hands to prevent future troubles."

Cai Qi paused and suddenly raised his head.

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of pain: "I can't do it! General, please forgive her. He knows nothing. She has always regarded the Wei family army as her benefactor..."

At this moment, the door was opened again, and the secret guard came in carrying a young woman.

Although the woman was wearing coarse linen clothes, it could not hide her beautiful face.

The families of military officers guarding the border in Dongling were allowed to accompany the army, and all of them lived in specially designated military dependents’ villages.

As soon as he saw the woman, Cai Qi excitedly shouted, "Madam? General, my wife knows nothing. She only knows that her relatives died at the hands of Northern Qi. She knows nothing. Please forgive her, General!"

The secret guard came forward and handed Wei Tiankuang a few pieces of letter paper, some of which had been half-burned: "When I went down, this woman was burning these letters."

Wei Tiankuang took it and flipped through it, his face gradually turning darker.

He threw the letter over: "What else do you have to say!"

Cai Qi took a look at the letter on the ground and knew who it was written to after just a few sentences.

He looked in horror at his wife, with whom he had slept for many years.

"Jiu Niang? What's wrong with you?"

Only then did he realize that his wife, who had been so timid and cowardly in front of him, had not said a word since being captured, and there was not even a trace of fear on her face.

Su Jiuniang suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.

"Jiu Niang, what are you laughing at? How could you be a member of Prince Rui's party? Tell me!" Cai Qi struggled to stand up!

"What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at my blindness. I actually thought you saved me. I regarded you as my benefactor and someone I could rely on. What about you? What did you do? You slaughtered my neighbors, killed my parents and brothers! If someone hadn't told me the truth, I would have been deceived by you my whole life! How can I face my parents and relatives in the underworld?"

"Jiu Niang!" Cai Qi's face was full of pain.

"King Rui can avenge me and kill all of you beasts!"

Wei Tiankuang drew out his knife and slashed at the woman, but Jiang Xiubai rushed in from outside the door and blocked the knife.

"Get out of the way!" Wei Tiankuang's voice was icy cold.

"General, there is more than one spy in the army, Cai Qi. We can use him and his wife to lure out other spies."

Cai Qi stopped making excuses.

He truly loved his wife, and at this moment he had completely lost all hope.

Besides, even if he explained himself, Wei Tiankuang would never believe him.

"Take them both away and keep them under strict watch!" Wei Tiankuang looked at Jiang Xiubai and ordered.

"Yes."

Jiang Xiubai waved his hand and asked someone to take Cai Qi and his wife out.

Cai Qi and his wife were thrown into prison. When the soldiers touched Su Jiuniang, the tied-up Cai Qi struggled and shouted.

"Don't touch her! When I get out, all of you bastards will die!"

"You still want to go out? Dream on. You're all going to die anyway, so what's wrong with letting the brothers have some fun?"

"No wonder Admiral Cai betrayed the general for a woman. This woman is really pretty. Look at her face..."

Su Jiuniang had a blank expression on her face, like a puppet, with empty eyes.

Cai Qi's eyes were bloodshot and veins were bulging.

"Asshole! Don't touch her!!"

His roar immediately attracted punches and kicks from several soldiers.

He was knocked to the ground and watched the soldiers walk towards his wife. He burst into tears but was unable to do anything.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Xiubai came in and saw this scene, and immediately shouted.

Several soldiers stopped immediately.

"Deputy General Jiang, we are not... hey, you know what I mean."

"The general only said to keep a close watch on him, but he didn't say anything else! Don't you want his head anymore?" Jiang Xiubai scolded coldly.

Several soldiers dared not to smile anymore.

"go out!"

Several soldiers walked out.

"Send some food over." Jiang Xiubai ordered again.

The soldiers couldn't understand.

Aren't Cai Qi and him incompatible? Isn't it time to add insult to injury?

But they didn't dare say anything more and hurried out.

Jiang Xiubai glanced at Su Jiuniang who was lying in the corner. He untied his cloak and walked towards Su Jiuniang.

Cai Qi was shocked and shouted angrily: "Jiang Xiubai, you dare to touch her! I will fight you!"

After shouting, he struggled to get up.

His legs and feet were bound and he was severely beaten, so he could not get up.

Jiang Xiubai didn't even look at him. He put his cloak on Su Jiuniang and stood a little further away.

Cai Qi was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Xiubai with complicated eyes.

It was Jiang Xiubai who planned the couple's current situation.

But now...

Su Jiuniang suddenly felt warm, came to her senses, and looked at the cloak on her body.

She suddenly waved her cloak excitedly: "The Wei family army's stuff is dirty!"

Jiang Xiubai ignored him and turned to walk out.

He stopped when he passed Cai Qi.

"Even without me, you and your wife would not have a good ending. A relationship built on lies is the most fragile. You have committed evil deeds in your early years, and today you are getting retribution." After Jiang Xiubai finished speaking, he walked out of the cell.

Cai Qi was stunned.

Jiang Xiubai knows! He knows everything!

He knew what the Wei family army did in their early years!

No wonder!

But even if he told the general now, the general would no longer trust him.

He looked at his wife in the corner with painful eyes and crawled towards her with difficulty.

"Jiuniang..."

"Don't come over!" Su Jiuniang shouted, looking at Cai Qi with eyes full of disgust and hatred.

Cai Qi stopped and just looked at her in pain and love.
