Xiao Changtai carried Ye Wantang away. Shen Xihe's subordinates and Xiao Changfeng's subordinates tried to stop him, but Shen Xihe ordered: "Let him go."
"Crown Princess, Xiao Changtai is a traitor." Xiao Changfeng was not as obedient as Shen Xihe's subordinates.
Xiao Changtai did not stop, as if he could not hear what Xiao Changfeng said.
"King Xun, this is the northwest. If you don't want to be the next Pei Zhan, don't disobey me." Shen Xihe warned in a deep voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yuan and others drew their swords towards Xiao Changfeng and his men with unfriendly looks.
"Let's talk it over, let's talk it over." Bu Shulin, who was also one of Xiao Changfeng's subordinates, stepped forward to smooth things over, and seemed to have persuaded Shen Xihe. She turned to Xiao Changfeng and said, "Commander, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. You and I are only following orders to protect Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and we have no right to ask about other matters. Who is a traitor and who is a rebel is not for you and me to decide."
In fact, no one has evidence to prove that Xiao Changtai was a traitor, because no one except Xiao Huayong and Geng Liangcheng saw what Xiao Changtai did in the Turks, and the intelligence they received secretly was not counted.
Before, Xiao Changtai escaped and His Majesty exterminated his clan, but did not issue a wanted order for a "dead man". Xiao Changfeng really wanted to capture Xiao Changtai now, but he had no reason to do so.
Moreover, the Protector General of Tingzhou was so respectful to Shen Xihe that he could not leave the Protectorate as long as she gave the order.
If he were to be killed, Shen Xihe would certainly have a hard time explaining himself and there would be many troubles. He weighed the pros and cons before not killing him. But if he was really pushed to the limit, it might not be a bad idea for Shen Xihe to accuse him of a crime and kill him.
Xiao Changfeng could only watch Xiao Changtai leave. After Xiao Changtai left, he was also watched by Shen Xihe and was not allowed to leave the Protectorate.
Shen Xihe went to visit Xiao Huayong. She came back yesterday through a secret door. Even if Xiao Changfeng heard some noise, he couldn't have seen her. Xiao Changfeng couldn't be sure whether Xiao Huayong had left the Protectorate or not.
"You let the person go?" Xiao Huayong received the news before Shen Xihe came.
"He has lost all desire in life, why not give him a last bit of dignity?" Shen Xihe didn't care at all.
"You trust him so much?" Xiao Huayong was a little surprised.
Xiao Changtai is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. Wildfires cannot be extinguished, and spring breeze will bring new life.
"In these years, he has never had another woman." Even in private, his feelings for Ye Wantang were real.
This is also why Ye Wantang would rather die than give up on him. It is not known whether this is a blessing or a curse for Ye Wantang.
"Just based on this, do you believe that he is not lying?" Xiao Huayong thought.
"If he uses other reasons, I won't believe him. At this moment, he won't use the Ye family to get out of this situation." Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong and kept asking questions. He couldn't help but feel a little shaken, so he smiled and said, "If he is really shameless, I won't let him escape from the northwest."
Xiao Huayong saw that his casual questions actually made Shen Xihe become less confident. He couldn't help but laugh and feel a little proud. It was because of his ability that she recognized him that he would take his doubts seriously. So he stopped talking and suppressed the smile in his eyes: "If some people don't know what's good for them, it doesn't matter if they are killed."
Seeing his gloomy look, Shen Xihe immediately understood that he was talking about Xiao Changfeng, and shook his head and said, "It can't be done cleanly."
