"General Guan, I can't have any tea now, I have something urgent to discuss," Qiao Lian'er said.
"Oh? You go ahead."
"Someone is going to tip off the invading troops of the Kui Niu Kingdom, so that the enemy can increase their manpower, inflict heavy damage on our side, and achieve a great victory in the first battle."
"Those two have already set off."
"What? How dare you!" General Guan was furious upon hearing this, but then he immediately sensed something was wrong and looked at Qiao Lian'er with a slightly darkened gaze: "How did you find out about this?"
Qiao Lian'er didn't hide anything and said, "My older brother and the others went to collect taxes. They had a temporary youth inspection team under their command. A few of them were from my village and knew me quite well. They overheard the plot and were afraid that something might happen to my brothers and uncles, so they came to tell me immediately."
"That's why I came to find General Guan."
General Guan's face was as cold as ice: "They've gone too far! This is treason and collusion with the enemy. Once they're brought back, they'll be severely punished."
"General Guan, let me lead men to intercept them," Chu Zhuo said.
General Guan raised his hand: "Now that we've caught the person, he certainly won't confess. Let's solidify the charges first."
"yes."
General Guan looked at Qiao Lian'er: "Do you know who those two people are?"
"They are Song Laosan's two elder brothers."
The atmosphere instantly became solemn. General Guan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
He had already figured out the connection, so there was no need to ask further, and it would only alert the enemy.
All that's needed is to bring those two back, and with their statements compared, Song Yuanyi won't be able to refute them.
Chu Zhuo looked somewhat regretful. How could such a good person as Lian'er have such a father?
"General Guan, this humble general shall depart immediately."
"Go." General Guan sat down, remaining silent for a moment.
I originally thought that Song Laosan was a scumbag, a heartless and selfish man who abandoned his wife and children to climb the social ladder, resorting to any means necessary. But it turns out he could be even more shameless, even going so far as to collude with the enemy.
If that matter hadn't been exposed, and after his death, when Song Laosan took over the military power, who knows what heinous crimes he would have committed.
General Guan secretly gasped, thank goodness.
"Girl, you can rest assured about General Chu's work. Go back and wait for good news. Your brothers and uncles will never fall into the hands of villains."
Qiao Lian'er bowed and withdrew.
After she left the main camp, Guan Yuqin followed with her two children. In Guan Yuqin's hands, she carried a seven-tiered food box, which was very heavy.
"Lian'er, these are freshly steamed snacks. Take them home and eat them."
Even through the box, Qiao Lian'er could feel the heat and smell the sweet fragrance.
"Thank you." She was deeply moved.
Guan Yuqin's tolerant attitude towards the daughter of the ex-wife of the man who had deceived her is truly admirable, and she will surely reciprocate in kind.
"Sister, it's a promise, you'll come and play with us for an afternoon in a couple of days," Guan Song said.
"I'll definitely come, or I'll be a dog." Qiao Lian'er squatted down and made a pinky promise with them.
