Xiao Heng was already walking towards her with a smile on his face. In fact, Su Yao must have been very tired after running back and forth all night, but her face was still full of energy, without any sign of dejection, and her eyes were sparkling. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to go and rest for a while?"
Su Yao shook her head. How could she sleep at this time? She pointed back and said, "Wei Desheng has been caught."
Only by catching Wei Desheng can all problems be solved.
Xiao Heng hummed and said "OK", and told her Cui Daru's opinion. Su Yao and Xiao Heng looked at each other, and they both saw approval in each other's eyes, so she simply nodded: "Sir, that's a good idea, when do we leave?"
"The sooner the better." Xiao Heng said, "I've sent someone to Kunming to pass on the message. This time we're going with several thousand soldiers from Qujing. With so many people going there in a mighty force, it's impossible for the incident at Zhaotong Post Station to happen again. Besides, Wei Desheng is already in our hands. The time has come."
Su Yaolue thought about it and knew that this was the best opportunity. She subconsciously glanced at Su Rong and said, "I want to go with you."
As expected, Su Rong immediately objected: "What are you going to do? We are fine now, and we have enough people around us. I have decided to let Qing Kun and the others escort you back together."
He felt a little uneasy. Although Su Yao could be of great help if she stayed here, she was a girl after all.
Moreover, he always felt that there was something different between Su Yao and Xiao Heng, and he felt uneasy.
Before Xiao Heng could say anything, Su Yao had already rejected him. When she got serious, even Su Rong couldn't do anything about her. Seeing that Su Rong was still talking with a straight face, Su Yao opened her eyes wide and said, "I'm already here. Besides, there were assassins from the Cui family sent by Princess Mingchang when I came here, but who can guarantee that there won't be assassins on the way back? Are you willing to let me go back alone?"
What else can Su Rong say
He had never been able to deal with this sister, so he could only keep a straight face and said, "What's wrong with talking so nicely? Okay, we've been tired all night, go back and change your clothes, and come out for dinner later."
As long as he stopped forcing her to go back, Su Yao would naturally listen to these little things, and then she turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Su Rong was so annoyed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shouted at her from behind, "Slow down, there's a dog chasing you from behind!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Wei Desheng was locked in the room. Because he was caught suddenly, he could not adapt to the light in the room. For a moment, he felt that this dark room was terribly dark. After closing his eyes and adapting for a long time, he could barely see that there was a simple bed in the room. He walked to the bed and sat down with a gloomy and cold look.
After coming back to his senses from the initial panic, he had now completely come to his senses and realized that he had been tricked by Xiao Heng and the others.
Either Yuan Zijian had already betrayed him and confessed that he was still in Zhaotong, or Yuan Zijian was already dead and Mrs. Yuan had deceived him.
He trusted these people too much. His eyes darkened. When Wei Desheng heard a slight noise outside, he immediately perked up and stared at the door.
In his opinion, it was time for Xiao Heng to show up and give a good lesson to this traitor to the court, the culprit who had caused Xiao Heng to hide in Zhao for more than twenty days.
But when the door opened, the person who came in was not Xiao Heng.
It's a woman.
Wei Desheng frowned, thinking of the girl who had brought people to block him by the pond. He was even more confused about the identity of this girl. Who on earth could have such a high say in the imperial envoy's guards
However, he soon put aside his confusion because he saw the person's face clearly. He immediately snorted coldly with a straight face: "Is it you?"
He naturally knew there was a traitor.
Otherwise, those who knew his residence were his most trusted confidants, and would never reveal his whereabouts even if they died. However, the explosives were accurately aimed at his residence, and those people also used muskets to suppress the guards in the front yard. His men did not even have a chance to resist and were overthrown.
It turned out that the traitor was actually his brother's wife.
Thinking about how he had sent people to rescue Madam Yuan and believed what she said, Wei Desheng, even though he had already become a spirit, couldn't help but scold Madam Yuan: "You actually betrayed me and your own husband. How can you be worthy of being a wife of the Yuan family?!"
Mrs. Yuan was not angry at all because of the scolding, and she didn't even frown.
If she cared about these things, she would never agree to Su Yao's request to help him catch big fish for bait.
"Brother-in-law, what you said, if I hadn't been tortured by Yuan Zijian and looked like a non-human, I would really think you were a living Buddha from nowhere. How Yuan Zijian treated me, how your wife treated me, others don't know, don't you know in your heart?" Madam Yuan retorted, she wished Yuan Zijian would die, Yuan Zijian's death would be a relief for her, especially when Wei Desheng acted as if she had betrayed her husband, which made her even more sick: "Why did he bring me to Yunnan, don't you know? He used me as a target, used the child to act, and set up a torture scheme. Did he ever think about the safety of me and the child? He didn't treat us as human beings, but His Highness and the County Lady felt sorry for us. I'm not that noble. If anyone wants my child's life, even if it's the Jade Emperor, I'm not afraid!"
Wei Desheng was impatient to listen to her scolding. He sneered in a deep voice: "So you came here today just to laugh at me and ridicule me?"
"No." Madam Yuan sat down not far from him and looked at him without dodging: "I came to tell my brother-in-law that I know where my sister and the others are."
Wei Desheng could hold back at first, but when he heard Madam Yuan say this, he couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up immediately: "You bastard! Your sisters are all old, weak, women and children. Do you know what you did?!"
Madam Yuan had a blank expression on her face: "You shouldn't ask me this question. You should ask yourself, before you decided to do those outrageous things, did you consider your children and your family? It wasn't me or anyone else who hurt them to this extent. It was you, brother-in-law, and your ambition! Even now, you still have a chance to save the situation. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it. I came here and told you this purely to give you a chance to let you choose for yourself. Which is more important, your wife and children, or your own ambitions? It's up to you, brother-in-law, to decide."
