Chapter 230 Not These People
Lu Xinran's inner voice made everyone in the room change their expressions slightly.
The Queen stood up and walked in front of Qi Yu, her eyes raised slightly, her majesty evident without even being angry.
"How are you feeling?"
Qi Yu sighed, knowing that he could no longer conceal it, and then he said, "It is a bit serious. It hurts my heart and lungs. Maybe... I won't be able to use my skills anymore."
With their status, they can no longer use their skills, and are no different from useless people.
These days he ordered his soldiers to stay at home and not go out, just because he didn't want anyone to notice his abnormality.
The traitor who deployed the troops, planned to move him out of the city, and ambushed him, causing him serious injuries, has not been found yet.
How could he dare to let anyone know that he was actually useless?
There was a barely perceptible gloom in the queen's eyes. Their Zhang family was really about to be wiped out completely.
"Just rest and recover, I'll take care of everything else."
Qi Yu smiled bitterly. What if he didn't recuperate? He could still hold up a paper tiger before, but now he doesn't need to be a paper tiger anymore.
Lu Xinran listened to their conversation, feeling full of regret.
She could sense the queen's loneliness at that moment. Although she did not show it, how could everyone not feel that deep sorrow when they were in the same room together?
As if she had noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little low, the queen put away her sadness and looked at Yutu again.
"Find a reliable deputy general to come over. I need to understand the situation first."
Hearing her say this, Lu Xinran hurriedly stepped forward carefully and said, "Aunt, should we ask General Qi to call all the deputy generals here? This way, you can understand the situation while discussing the details with them."
The Queen glanced over, then immediately nodded, thinking of her system.
"You're right. Time is running out. It's better to call everyone in and question them all."
Qi Yu listened to the conversation and figured out the secret in just a moment. He waved his hand and signaled his men to invite all the deputy generals in the city.
After pushing Qi Yu out, Lu Xinran and her sister retreated to an inner room.
"Tongzi, you have to help me later. You have to help me look through the pamphlets for these people who come in. Let's find the traitor in question as soon as possible."
The system nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will help you find the person as quickly as possible."
Outside, the queen felt more at ease as she listened to the unified conversation.
As long as we can find this traitor, we will be able to find a chance to turn defeat into victory by using some means.
Perhaps they can put down the war here before the emperor sends someone to replace them.
As all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, the deputy generals who were summoned had already arrived outside the study. The soldier came in to pass on the message, and the queen waved her hand and said, "Let everyone come in."
As soon as these deputy generals approached, Lu Xinran immediately followed the system to flip through the booklets of these people.
There was originally one main general and four deputy generals in Hanyu Pass, and there were six deputy generals who followed Qi Yu from Yucheng Pass.
Therefore, there were a total of ten deputy generals who were summoned at this time. Except for Xie Lang, the commander of Hanyu Pass who was still dealing with the aftermath, all the others went to the study.
Lu Xinran almost flipped through the booklet until smoke came out. She was already an experienced gossiper and started searching for keywords directly.
I just flipped through a few books and didn't find anything unusual.
The system also did not notice anything unusual. Each person quickly flipped through the ten booklets within a quarter of an hour, and was unable to find out who the traitor was.
"Hey, Tongzi, are these pamphlets of yours really accurate?"
"How can you doubt my ability? You've been eating melons for so long, can't you tell the truth from the false?"
The system screamed in grievance at the loudest level, and Lu Xinran rubbed his brows.
She didn't mean to wrongly accuse it, but she felt that... something was wrong, there was still one person who hadn't come!
She quickly sat up straight, asked the system to check it again, and began to try to find a way to ask the Queen or Qi Yu to call the person who did not come.
Outside, several lieutenants looked at each other in panic.
What did they just hear?
Why does it feel like someone is talking in their ears?
The Queen and Qi Yu looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Xie Lang, the commander of Hanyu Pass, was promoted by Zhang Yongping, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is half of his general.
He and Qi Yu were both orphans on the battlefield. They grew up in the Zhang family and learned martial arts with the Zhang family and fought on the battlefield together.
When the Zhang family moved out of Yucheng, they specifically submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting that the two of them be allowed to guard Yucheng Pass and Hanyu Pass.
Over the years, the two of them have helped each other, and Qi Yu never thought that the person who would betray him would be Xie Lang.
The Queen's face remained calm. She waved her hand and signaled someone to go to the top of the city wall and call over General Xie Lang.
She didn't want to assume the worst case scenario and just hoped that Lu Xinran's speculation was wrong.
The soldiers ran out for nearly half an hour, and when they came back they still couldn't bring back the person they wanted to see.
"Zhang, General Zhang, General Xie is inspecting the wounded camp. He said he won't come over until he's done with his work."
The queen nodded, knowing that Xie Lang was deliberately avoiding her, so she stopped forcing him and just raised her hand to gesture to the deputy generals below.
"Tell me about the current situation at Yucheng Pass and Hanyu Pass."
Lu Xinran was still flipping through the booklets one by one. This time she read through all of them by herself.
Although I saw some dirty things, I didn't find any signs of collusion with the enemy.
The more she read, the more confused she became. Could it be that the people who could have plotted to harm Qi Yu were not deputy generals?
"Sister, we can't help much here, how about going out for a walk?"
If Chelang doesn't come, then they will go find him.
Anyway, the system can load the brochure. At most, you can just look at the person from a distance, download the brochure and then come back to read it.
Lu Xinlan knew what she was thinking and nodded slightly: "Wait for me here."
The queen listened to the conversation between the two sisters with a divided mind. When she saw Lu Xinlan open the curtain, she nodded slightly without waiting for her to say anything.
"Go ahead. I'll have someone follow you. Remember to be careful."
This place is different from the capital. There are not so many people protecting Lu Xinran. If something unexpected happens, she is afraid that she will not be able to rescue him in time.
Song Junyan took the initiative to step forward: "Mother, I will accompany them to walk around the city."
He was accompanied by the secret guards that every prince had, as well as the guards given to him by the emperor for this trip.
With him around, the Lu sisters will be safer.
The queen nodded with relief, "Okay, then I'll leave them to you. Remember, Xinran is your fiancée, so you must protect her well when you bring her out."
Song Junyan nodded solemnly. Back when he was in the capital, he had transferred half of his secret guards to Lu Xinran's side.
He always knew what he was doing and what he should do.
