"When Samuel was on a diplomatic mission to Chang'an, he told me something privately. But I thought she was trying to stir up internal strife, and since I had no concrete evidence, I didn't mention it."

Ning Que sighed softly.

He told the story of the grudge between Gu Yuan and Xiliang.

The more Emperor Feng listened, the colder his eyes became.

"Samuel is not going to break the covenant this time."

"It's not like we want to start a war between the two countries."

"She just wants to take personal revenge."

Ning Que sighed softly, "I got the news right after arriving at Yanmen, and kindly reminded Gu Yuan to be on guard. But he thought there were only 8,000 of them, so there was nothing to worry about, and he completely denied what Samuel said."

"During the siege, I specifically ordered that no one should leave the city. After all, our main strategic goal was to capture Shuofang. But Gu Yuan disobeyed orders on the battlefield, thinking that Liang Yili had escaped Shuofang, so he chased after him with only a few hundred personal guards. As a result, he was tricked by Samuel..."

After hearing the whole story, Emperor Feng frowned tightly.

He said nothing.

Just savoring the thought.

It is really possible that Gu Yuan could do such a thing!

Samuel is a smart man.

There was no reason for her to take such a risk.

The only explanation is to avenge the Crown Princess!

If they really wanted to help the Liao Kingdom, why would they send 8,000 people?

"Samuel said he would come to Chang'an in person after the spring to apologize," Ning Que continued, "I didn't bring many people with me at the time, and I was worried it was a Liao conspiracy, so I had no choice but to let her go."

"I understand."

The speed of the imperial carriage was getting slower and slower.

Emperor Feng raised a smile.

"Okay, we're at the palace."

"You have performed a great deed, and I have specially hosted a banquet to welcome you. Xiaoning, you must perform well today and tell the officials how you fought!"

"I understand."

Ning Que raised his hand and smiled.

Looking towards the majestic Weiyang Palace.

He is finally back!
