The General Is As Urgent As Law

Fortunately, Guo Linchong is in good health, and under Zhong Yi's treatment, his life is not in danger, but he has lost too much blood and is still unconscious.

It is impossible for Xue Changfeng to be unaware of such commotions in the barracks, but the battle with Xi Su is still going on, and as a last resort, Xue Changfeng led his troops to fight in person, and handed over the mess in the barracks to Xue Ziqin, demanding that only One: The criminals must be handed over, and the Northern Army must not be allowed to take the blame.

The First Prince's corpse has been packed and sent to the capital immediately.Xue Ziqin naturally let the safest Min Qiu do such important tasks.

Zhou Xiao followed Xue Changfeng and Shan Mo on the front line, Min Qiu had already set off in the barracks, and the only available lieutenant beside Xue Ziqin was lying unconscious, so Jiang also took over the duties of several lieutenants and followed Xue Ziqin to help Let's investigate this matter together.

After confirming that Guo Linchong was safe, all the people who were supposed to pass had been tied up, and Xue Ziqin sat in the general's tent with a sad face.

"Tell me what you found." Xue Ziqin sighed and said to Jiang Ye.

Jiang also thought about it, took out the jade pendant that had been hidden around his waist, handed it to Xue Ziqin, and said, "I found this jade pendant in Vice General Guo's tent, and the hanging tassels on it, I used to spy on Cao Cao." Zhong has seen it."

"Just the same hanging ears?" Xue Ziqin asked.Although he didn't say it clearly, Jiang still understood the meaning of it, and explained: "The general knows that my family is also a big family, and I have seen a lot of good things. This hanging ear can't explain anything, but I have never seen such hanging tassels in the territory of Xuan Kingdom. The knots of this hanging tassels are very unique, I guess, it may be from Sui Kingdom's technique."

Hearing this, Xue Ziqin took the hanging tassel and looked at it carefully.As Jiang also said just now, Xue Ziqin has never seen such a hanging ear.

Xue Ziqin thought for a moment, put the things down, and said: "What else, you continue."

"If you want to talk about evidence, this is it."

"What's your idea?"

Jiang also thought about it, and according to his own guess, he said it seriously: "Three years ago, when the general was assassinated, Wei Lin and I were in the outer courtyard. But Vice-General Guo was not there. Later, after the general appeared, Vice-General Guo reappeared among the crowd... I think the General’s Mansion is heavily guarded, if someone hadn’t cooperated from inside and outside, and wanted to go in and assassinate the General quietly, it would have been impossible.”

"You mean that Guo Linchong is the one who cooperates inside and outside?"

"It's just speculation, there is no evidence." Jiang also lowered his head as he spoke, as if he also felt that what he said was pure conjecture and not very convincing.

Jiang was also in front of Xue Ziqin, if he was cautious or not, it was still a little bit.After all, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is here, and not every soldier has the opportunity to report to the general face to face.But Jiang also had a pure admiration for Xue Ziqin.Whether it was in Qinguan, where only 500 men repelled 3000 enemy troops, or in the first battle in Yanhan Valley, Xue Ziqin just saved his life with a long spear, all of which deserved Jiang Ye's respect for him.The more such a person is, the more cautious Jiang will treat him, and he will not shrink back and dare not speak out at all.

Xue Ziqin was expressionless, and seemed to be thinking. Jiang didn't know what Xue Ziqin would think about his words.

But in fact, Xue Ziqin admired Jiang Ye's judgment very much.

It was Min Qiu who reported Guo Linchong's absence that night.Regarding Min Qiu's words, Xue Ziqin trusted him unconditionally, and now that Jiang Ye's testimony is available, then the assassination of Xue Changfeng that night may have something to do with Guo Linchong.

Speaking of Wei Lin, Xue Ziqin suddenly thought of such a person, and suddenly changed the subject, "Wei Lin...do you know that he is Wei Yuanting's son?"

"I don't know."

"I remember you have a good relationship."

"But he never mentioned it." Jiang Ye replied, and incidentally reminded: "The letter Wei Lin sent to the general, I think there must be information..."

"I also wonder why you sent me a letter." Xue Ziqin said, reaching out to search through the pile of paperwork on several cases, and pulled out the letter from Wei Lin from the bottom.

Xue Ziqin opened the envelope, unfolded the letter paper inside and read it carefully, his expression changed from doubt to serious.

Jiang also kept looking at the letter in his hand—he really wanted to ask if he could read it, but looking at Xue Ziqin's expression, he estimated that the content should be serious, and it seemed inappropriate for him to ask.

Xue Ziqin repeatedly read the letter in his hand several times, and finally slapped the letter paper on the table in great annoyance, and cursed: "Not only will someone be placed next to me, but two people will be placed next to me, it's really good..."

"The general's letter..." Jiang Ye subconsciously wanted to ask about the content, but he didn't dare to ask in the middle of the sentence.

It doesn't matter if Jiang reads this letter too, I guess Xue Ziqin will let him read it.But now that Xue Ziqin is so angry, if he asks again, then he doesn't know how to read words.So Jiang also swallowed, and asked nervously again: "Was it written by Wei Lin?"

"No." Xue Ziqin said.

Jiang also wanted to ask, but Xue Ziqin looked up at him, almost understood what Jiang also wanted to ask, and said impatiently, "It wasn't written by Wei Lin, so I don't have anything to do with you."

"Oh..." Jiang was also a little disappointed, but he felt that it was expected, "The general next?"

"Don't worry about it from now on. When Guo Linchong wakes up, everything will be revealed naturally."

While the two were talking, someone suddenly opened the curtain to come in.

Xue Ziqin caught a glimpse of the curtain being raised, and immediately lost his temper: "Which bastard dares to come in casually?!"

In the end, not only did the man not stop, but he lifted the curtain leisurely, and then walked in: "The general is so angry."

The person who came was Cen Lixuan.

Jiang Ye immediately turned his head and saluted, "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince."

"You don't need to be too polite." Cen Li

Hyun smiled at him.

What happened last night is still vivid, because Cen Lixuan's attitude towards Jiang Ye is very kind.Xue Ziqin stood up from the table, walked up to Cen Liyu and asked, "Why are you here?"

"The general forgot to salute again?" Cen Lixuan asked without answering.

Xue Ziqin was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. Even though Cen Lizhen was in front of him at this time, he couldn't bear it any longer. He lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't the Ninth Prince say that there is no need to be polite?"

"My prince said Jiang Ye, but not the general." Cen Lixuan said with his face raised.

Jiang also didn't quite understand why Cen Lizhen was so provocative to Xue Ziqin's words suddenly, and even brought the contradiction to him.

"Ninth Prince Jin'an." Xue Ziqin could only follow his advice.

Cen Lixuan nodded in satisfaction, walked up to the place where Xue Ziqin was sitting just now, and asked, "I heard that Cen Lishang is dead?"

"Yes." Xue Ziqin replied.

"The body was sent back?"

"Yes."

"Then the general should also send someone to take me back." Cen Lixuan said.

If it was the previous Cen Lixuan, let alone sending him back, even letting Xue Ziqin hand over the military power to his subordinates, Xue Ziqin would probably do the same.

But now people are different, things are different, and the situation is different.

The eldest prince was killed in the northern army, if the matter cannot be cleared up, the Xue family will definitely suffer a big loss.In this case, the Ninth Prince in his hand will become a good bargaining chip to offset the merits. It can be said that Cen Lizhen is the Xue family's backup strategy.In this way, before Xue Changfeng's troops returned to the court after Xi Su was completely repelled, Cen Lixuan could only stay with the Northern Army so that they could take control.

Xue Ziqin shook his head, and his attitude changed slightly: "The Ninth Prince is going back to the capital now. I'm afraid the road will be full of dangers, and Shu Mo will be unable to follow his orders."

Cen Lixuan smiled slightly: "Oh?"

Xue Ziqin couldn't lose face either, raised his head and raised one corner of his mouth, gave Cen Lizhen an evil smile, and said, "That's right, the Ninth Prince will stay in the Northern Army for a few more days."

Xue Ziqin's character has always been straightforward, both with people and things, how you treat me, how I treat you.If Cen Lizhen was sincere about his attachment at the beginning... Then Xue Ziqin did not deny that he had been tempted by Cen Lixuan; but looking at this matter now, the value of Cen Lixuan is only for the Xue family to use for his meritorious deeds Arrived in case of a rainy day.

Jiang also looked at Cen Lixuan's expression, and then at Xue Ziqin's - Jiang also seemed redundant in this scene.Jiang also tentatively asked the two of them, "I...I'll go and see Vice General Guo."

Xue Ziqin said "Yes", but Cen Lixuan did not speak.

Jiang also hurried out as if fleeing from disaster.

But as the saying goes, if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. If you change to the previous Jiang Ye, you will definitely go away; but now, after staying with that bastard Wei Lin for a long time, Jiang Ye's curiosity has begun. Crazy growth, met Xue Ziqin and Cen Lixuan who obviously had a story in front of him, Jiang couldn't move even when he was out of the general's tent.

There was a soldier guarding the door, and they didn't react too much when they saw Jiang coming out. After all, Jiang had followed Xue Ziqin in before.And now Jiang also came out and stood at the door without moving.

The guard at the door looked at him twice, feeling a little puzzled, but seeing Jiang Ye's expression that should be taken for granted, he guessed that it might be the general's order.

Jiang just stood at the edge of the curtain openly and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

The two people inside did not shy away from talking, their voices were neither loud nor low, anyway, the guards next to them couldn't hear them, but Jiang Ye could hear them just right and clearly.

"If the Ninth Prince is fine..."

"What if something happens?"

"Say it straight."

"General Xue actually has something to say, right?"

"I disappointed the Ninth Prince, the last general has nothing to say."

"General Xue's feelings for this prince have changed so quickly?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Now that the eldest prince is dead, the Xue family will suffer, so the general wants to keep this prince here, right?"

"..."

"The Xue family and this prince are related by blood. General Xue wants to assist the third brother, right?"

"wrong."

"Oh?"

"As long as it is born of the concubine Jin, it is the blood of my Xue family, isn't it?"

"It seems that General Xue and this prince have the same mind."

"Don't dare to climb high. But Xuan'er...you know what I mean."

After Xue Ziqin finished his last sentence, there was no more movement inside.Jiang also felt cold sweat at the door, and hurriedly followed what he said before, and went to Guo Linchong's side, lest Xue Ziqin suddenly come out and find him eavesdropping at the door.

Unexpectedly, the two of them talked about the establishment of the reserve in an understatement.Jiang also remembered what Cen Lizhen said last night, if you don't fight, you will die. This is true, so what Cen Liyan said is that if you don't fight, you don't fight.

Ever since Cen Lizhen appeared in the Northern Army, Jiang also felt that Lu Lai was a bloody storm shrouded in the royal court. It seemed that he had followed Cen Lizhen all the way to the Northern Army. On the relationship.

Jiang Ye could be regarded as a good citizen. Even if he knew a little about these things, he would not be too clear about them, let alone have any sense of participation in them.He suddenly missed Wei Lin. When Wei Lin was around, everything seemed calm and calm, without worries.

Jiang also thought about it for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had been completely dependent on Wei Lin without knowing it.
