Chapter 182: Catch a Traitor
After hearing Xie Jinyu's comfort, Yunhe's ugly expression calmed down a little.
He sighed and said, "The reason for the bad mood of the Crown Prince is not only that he cannot send His Highness the Princess back to the capital and buried it. The second princess who have been missing for many days has returned. At that time, someone in the Chu Palace colluded with other countries, and the matter of alienating the Emperor and King Ning was related to the Second Princess... His Highness was afraid that the Second Princess would make a comeback and take the opportunity to put all the blame on the First Princess."
Xie Jinyu and Chen Shaojie looked at each other and knew it in their hearts.
Although the Chu Palace is far apart from the border, they also know some of the winds.
What's more, the hard battle he fought with Zhao State has made them vividly remember it. Jun Jiuning led them to defend the city and fought bloody battles until the reinforcements arrived in Mincheng.
Naturally, they didn't believe that the person who did this would be Jun Jiuning.
But time has changed, Jun Jiuning died, but Jun Yuanxi came back to enter the house. If the instigation of a person with a heart, it is difficult to ensure that the people will not be covered up by false facts.
Xie Jinyu and Chen Shaojie looked at Jun Qingli's camp, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes: No wonder Jun Qingli was so anxious about the matter of bandits.
If it were them, they would be anxious.
The two clasped their fists at Yunhe: "We will catch these bandits as soon as possible so that His Highness can return to Beijing smoothly."
Yunhe also replied: "Thank you all. Now the prince killed the chicken to warn the monkey and wanted to shock the unrighteous people in the camp. Then he ordered people to carry the maid's body to the fire and burn it. He asked me to send an order and ask everyone in the military camp to see it--the two might as well go with me."
Xie Jinyu and Chen Shaojie nodded and followed him to the fire.
There is a fire in the military camp, also known as a execution ground, which is where people in the army are punished after committing military discipline, or catch defectors in the army and punish them.
There were already a lot of soldiers and men standing on the execution ground, all of whom looked uneasy. Although they lowered their heads and did not dare to look around, their eyes were also looking around.
General Xie also came over after receiving the order from Jun Qingli. Looking at the guards who were piled up with firewood, his face as hard as a knife and axe carved, he rose up on the floor.
Xie Jinyu knew that his biological father was unhappy at first sight. He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Dad, why are you here too?"
General Xie exclaimed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that everyone in the entire military camp came to see him. As the dignified general of Mincheng, how could I not come?"
Xie Jinyu felt bitter: "Dad, what the prince's words mean is that this is to shock those who are ill-behaved, not to be dissatisfied with you, so why should you be angry with him?"
As soon as General Xie got up, he was like a stone. He could not move and could not coax him. These days, Jun Qingli slapped the table and stared at him for the sake of bandits. General Xie felt that the other party was dissatisfied with him, the general guarding the city, and deliberately looked for trouble.
Xie Jinyu worked hard to maintain open peace. Unexpectedly, Jun Qingli's move was not sure which aspect of offending General Xie, so he made him come over and get angry in person.
Jun Qingli asked Yunhe to inform the people in the camp. This guy was so dull that he really informed the entire Mincheng military camp?!
Of course, Yunhe did not. After he went to various places to pass on Jun Qingli's words, he saw General Xie standing outside the execution ground with his eyes straight.
He clearly avoided General Xie's tent, and he specially instructed the people below not to let General Xie know, why did he appear here?
Yunhe was nervous and went up to him, and bowed respectfully and calmly: "Hello, General Thank you."
General Xie looked at him and snorted heavily: "It doesn't matter if the old minister is good or not. Whether the crown prince is safe or not is the most concerned thing for me."
Wow, it's so angry.
Yunhe held his fist upright, not sure why he suddenly said this, and said softly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is naturally safe in the tent."
"Oh?" Old General Xie sneered, "Hasn't the prince almost got into the evil plot of others poisoning him? What's more, the camp is full of dangers, so how can we be safe?"
Yunhe looked confused, wondering what the old general Xie meant: was he really mocking himself? But when he heard this tone, he didn't seem to be ashamed.
If he wasn't mocking himself... wouldn't he be secretly concluding that their prince was dissatisfied with the situation in the camp?
Although Jun Qingli is indeed not very satisfied with Mincheng's military camp, it is not because of this!
Yunhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Old, the old general is joking. This poisoned person is from our envoy group. What does it have to do with the Mincheng camp?"
"What my friend means is that we really think that our Mincheng Camp is unsafe?"
Yunhe was stunned and sweated all over, but he was used to doing things straightforwardly, and he didn't expect so many twists and turns: "I don't have any subordinates!"
A gentle and cold male voice suddenly penetrated in: "General Xie, don't make things difficult for him, my people don't mean this."
The few people all looked back and saw that it was Jun Qingli.
He stood a few steps away, his face was very calm, but it made people feel that his complexion seemed to be a little inexplicably gray.
General Xie looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing.
Jun Qingli didn't care about his rudeness.
He knew that General Xie was indeed a good official who was devoted to the country, but he was reckless and had only one stubborn mind, and was easily incited. Therefore, although he was a very capable general, he could not fully assume the position of guarding the frontier.
Once a villain appears beside him, Old General Xie will become a sharp blade swinging towards Chu State.
Jun Qingli waved his hand: "Boe the person up."
The two guards dragged a man wearing the armor of the deputy general and were tied up in many ways. General Xie saw the appearance of the person being tied up and immediately jumped up and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean!"
This deputy general is the most capable subordinate who has been with him for many years.
Does Jun Qingli want to slap him in the face this time?!
Jun Qingli was yelled at him by pointing at the nose but was not angry. She just reached out and wiped her face silently, and said lightly: "President instead of asking me what I did, why should I ask this General Liu Ruiping, what he did."
Liu Ruiping, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, immediately struggled when he heard this. His mouth was blocked tightly by a rag, and he could only make some whimpering sounds. His body, which was tied into a long strip, also twisted, rubbing towards the direction of General Xie, with his eyes frightened.
