But Zi Pingxiu just listened quietly, saying nothing from beginning to end, sitting there quietly with a gloomy face.
There was no response after the matter was said, and the three monks looked at each other in confusion.
In the end, Jia Wuqun coughed dryly, walked over, raised his hands to the three of them, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, three mages. The Prime Minister is heartbroken and slightly rude. I hope you can forgive me."
Naturally, the three of them were polite. Jia Wuqun nodded to the butler and motioned to deliver it in person, and made a gesture of pulling out his sleeves.
The housekeeper understood that this was asking him to give a certain amount of money as a reward, and immediately stepped forward to invite the three of them to leave and see them off in person.
Without the outsiders, Jia Wuqun turned around and stared at Zi Pingxiu, who was sitting quietly, and finally sighed, "Prime Minister, this happened suddenly. The deceased is irretrievably gone. Please forgive me!"
"Alas!" Zi Pingxiu choked out a breath, and laughed miserably: "Don't want to lose his reputation as a woman? Haha, doesn't he know how much Chun'er cares about him? When I am willing to let him send troops at this time Is it? Chun'er has always felt wronged by him and begged me to find a way to give him a chance. He actually repaid him like this! He actually drew his sword and killed himself for this. Well, it's great. He even ignored his wife and children for that bit of backbone. A good man! He fulfills his integrity and does not care about his family. Is he a good man?"
boom! He slammed the coffee table and stood up, his anger palpable.
The sudden movement startled Jia Wuqun, and Jia Wuqun comforted him: "Prime Minister, the general is a warrior on the battlefield. He is very bloody and can't stand those rumors. After all these years, I can understand his mood!"
Zi Pingxiu looked up to the sky and sighed: "There is no peace at home. How should I face everyone's accusations in the court?"
Jia Wuqun: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. The General's move can also be said to have saved the Prime Minister. The General had won the previous battle with Meng Shanming, and it was a great victory! Of course, there was the factor of Wan Beast Sect's help, but the previous battle report When it was sent back, the generals in the court discussed it, and they all praised the general's victory. Without the general's clever trick of luring the enemy, how could he have achieved such great results? A big victory would be enough to prove that he was not the prime minister. If you don't employ the right people, the general is indeed good at fighting!"
"The reason why they were defeated was because they were outnumbered! The reason why they were defeated was because things were so unexpected. Who would have thought that Yan Jun could suddenly break through the secret method of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect? Even the secret method of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect couldn't stop it. With all the mobs given by the court led by the general, who in the court dared to stand up and say that they could defeat the Yan army? Moreover, the general fought to the death and had no selfish intentions. He did not run away when he had a chance to escape, but fought with the army. We will live and die together, and even after defeat, he will not hesitate to draw his sword and kill himself. With such integrity, who dares to say that the Prime Minister misappoints people? With the power of the Prime Minister in the court, with these reasons, no one can do anything to the Prime Minister!"
Every sentence made sense, which awakened Zi Pingxiu who was in a daze, and made him stroke his beard and nod, expressing his agreement, but he also had some doubts, and raised his chin outside, "There are only a few people who escaped after the war. There are not many witnesses, and it would be troublesome if they change their words under the instigation of someone with a malicious intention."
Jia Wuqun knew that he was referring to the monks who had just left, "The Prime Minister is overly worried. They don't want to bear the blame of abandoning their commander and running away, and are not in good position to protect the law. They will not frame the general anymore, they will only insist that the general wants to die on his own! No!" It's so easy to be taken advantage of. This is not the time to argue about these internal conflicts. The national crisis is at the forefront, and His Majesty will not allow any more trouble in the DPRK."
After being comforted, Zi Pingxiu's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he said in a deep voice: "What exactly happened? Why did the secret method of Wanshou Sect suddenly lose its effect on the Yan army?"
Jia Wuqun: "I have carefully understood the situation. Yan Jun did not use other methods to crack the secret method of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Those snakes, insects, rats and ants treat Yan Jun the same as they treat Song Jun. I am afraid... they are the ones who untie the bells or tie the bells."
Zi Pingxiu suddenly turned around, narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Are you saying that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is going back on its word?"
Jia Wuqun shook his head: "This is also what I am confused about. If Wan Beast Sect wants the Yan army to win, they can withdraw their own men and not help the Song army. This will at least make the Song army mentally prepared. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the imperial court will be defeated?" Are you going to die to offend the Prime Minister? There are contradictions in the results. It is very likely that there is some problem within the Wanshou Sect. I wonder if there is some dispute within the Wanshou Sect. As for the situation inside the Wanshou Sect, I and other outsiders have no idea. It’s not clear and I can’t make a reasonable judgment.”
"But one thing is certain, the Wanshou Sect's decision to help Song Jun was a unanimous sect decision. If someone secretly contacts Yan Jun privately, that would be a betrayal of the sect, which is tantamount to giving a huge handle to outsiders. Therefore, it is more likely that if someone from within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect takes action, it should be influenced by external forces. If the Yan army is defeated, there must be someone over there who will try their best. This is entirely possible."
Zi Pingxiu: "The three major sects of Yan Kingdom?"
"If my hypothesis is true, then logically speaking, the three major factions of Yan State should be the most likely! But..."
"But what?"
"I suspect there is someone else." Jia Wuqun thought for a moment and then asked, "Does the Prime Minister still remember the Niu Youdao I mentioned before?"
Zi Pingxiu: "Of course I remember. You said this person is very dangerous. Do you suspect that he is related to him?"
Jia Wuqun did not answer directly, "I have been paying attention to the battle situation. After the Yan army was defeated, they had no intention of retreating. They kept circling around while avoiding the battle, seeming to be looking for opportunities to fight."
Zi Pingxiu was puzzled, "Isn't it normal to want to save the war and find a chance to win?"
Jia Wuqun: "The key point is that it has been like this since the defeat. The strategy has not changed, and there is no intention of even trying to counterattack. And the general has the help of extraordinary troops, and Luo Zhao's army has been retreating. Once the two armies What will be the consequences of the rendezvous? But the Yan army's operational situation does not seem to be affected at all, what does this mean?"
Zi Pingxiu narrowed his eyes and said: "It means that Yan Jun is sure of making a comeback!"
Jia Wuqun's voice was a little louder, "But later, the Yan army suddenly changed its attitude, surrounded the general in a blink of an eye, and defeated the general in one fell swoop! Prime Minister, is this a coincidence?"
Zi Pingxiu seemed to understand something, but he was still puzzled, "What does this have to do with Niu Youdao?"
Jia Wuqun: "Prime Minister, don't forget, according to the reply from the Wanshou Gate, the people who came to the Wanshou Gate to make a fuss are people from the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom! On the other hand, we are sure that the Yan army will come back from the beginning. The people are most likely not from the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom!"
A word awakened the dreamer, and Zi Pingxiu suddenly realized.
"Of course, it is also possible that people from the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom are deliberately paralyzing the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and there are actually other actions behind it. But I have calculated the time of the incident and combined it with some actual circumstances, such as the number of people, the amount of medicine, etc. Due to various factors, the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is unlikely that the three major sects of Yan State are trying to hide the truth from others."
"Of course, this doesn't mean that it was Niu Youdao who did it. It could be someone else. But I always feel that he is the most suspicious. I always suspect that he did it secretly. Again, I don't think he can just sit back and watch Meng Shan. Call it failure and ignore it.”
"If my guess is wrong, if I am unfortunately right, based on the time and the circumstances of the incident, it is very likely that some of the people within the Wanshou Sect who mastered this secret method were bribed by Niu Youdao. Logically speaking, the possibility of bribery Not big. If he really bought it, this matter is not trivial. It is a huge handle. It is tantamount to this person having been controlled by Niu Youdao. It is a pity that I cannot grasp the dynamics of the personnel within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, otherwise I would You can try to verify my guess!"
"It is unlikely that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will reveal the situation of its internal personnel." Zi Pingxiu shook his head and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to think about it anymore. He looked back at the door and sighed, "We didn't even snatch the body. Come back to Chun'er's side..."
Before he finished speaking, a servant came running outside, shouting: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, miss her, miss she..."
Zi Pingxiu and Jia Wuqun were startled at the same time, and they ran out one after another.
Jia Wuqun calmed down a little, tugged on the man's shirt and asked about the situation before running away.
After learning that Chen Shaotong died in battle, the Prime Minister's residence was already completely white.
In the courtyard of the beloved daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, servants were busy coming and going. Zi Pingxiu broke into the house, and a white silk hanging on the beam was eye-catching, which was shocking!
The Prime Minister's wife has fainted and is being rescued.
On the bed, a woman dressed in plain silk lay quietly with marks on her neck.
A monk stood by with his hands tied, and said to Zi Pingxiu who came in with an embarrassed look on his face: "I found it too late, I have already gone."
"You..." Zi Pingxiu pointed at the woman on the couch, his eyes instantly turned red, and he said tremblingly: "You are an unfilial daughter, you don't care about the kindness of your parents in raising you, but... you actually..." The whole person was on the verge of falling, but fortunately someone else was in time. Holding him, the monk quickly helped him sort out his breath.
Looking at the person on the couch, Jia Wuqun frowned and sighed. He found someone to find out what happened and asked, why didn't he take good care of the young lady even though she knew she was emotionally unstable
The maid in charge cried anxiously and said that the young lady said she was tired and wanted to take a rest, so she sent them out. Unexpectedly, the young lady took advantage of the opportunity and opened the door to see the young lady hanging from the beam. She almost missed them. Scared out of my wits.
After asking, Jia Wuqun grabbed the housekeeper beside him and asked, "Where are the lady's two children?"
The housekeeper said: "The young lady was afraid that the child would not be able to accept the death of his father for a while, so someone sent the child to play in a villa outside the city."
Jia Wuqun sighed, "It seems that the young lady has long wanted to leave. The young lady is so passionate about the general that I have been negligent. Don't take the children back for the time being. Let them play outside for a while. Send someone to protect them and don't let them go again." Something happened to the child.”
"Okay, okay! Everyone in the house is in a panic, and I am also confused. My husband is still awake. If there is anything wrong, please remind me immediately." The butler felt that the reminder was right. He nodded in agreement and wiped his head. He said with tears in his eyes as he looked at the fallen masters one by one.
Jia Wuqun patted his shoulder and motioned for him to go and do his work first. Then he looked around the room and examined it carefully. He saw a letter placed on the table. When he took it out, he found that it was the last words of the hostess of the room. There was chaos in the room. They were in a ball, and no one noticed.
The general meaning of the last words was that she felt that marrying Chen Shaotong was a mistake and that she had harmed Chen Shaotong. She regretted that she had tried every means to force Chen Shaotong to marry her, so that her parents would forgive her for being unfilial and for the sake of family affection. He took care of his two children while he followed Chen Shaotong, and so on.
"I've watched you grow up in vain, silly girl. How could Chen Shaotong and He De make you so devoted? How can you make your parents so embarrassed? It's my fault that I came back late. If I could have stopped the Prime Minister earlier, you wouldn't have gone to find him. He vented his anger... He missed his life when he saw his husband, what a fate!" Jia Wuqun looked at Xin and shook his head.
