Qin Yue Zhao looked at the bearded man, her eyes dark and gloomy:
"What? You didn't expect me to come back alive?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the Northern Barbarians have retreated."
The bearded man's face turned deathly pale, and he stared wide-eyed as if he had seen a ghost.
"How...how could this be?"
"Why not? I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, who exactly owns that ring?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it struck the bearded man like a thunderclap.
After a long while, he finally snapped out of his daze, his voice trembling:
“Princess Da Gan, I have told you everything. I am not lying.”
"You're not lying?"
Qin Yue Zhao slammed her hand on the table. "You used the matter of the breeding pens to lure me here, and then had the Northern Barbarian spies burn down the General's Mansion in an attempt to steal the Treasure Basin. Do you dare to say you didn't know about this?"
The bearded man trembled violently, like a sieve.
"I...I really don't know!"
He wasn't afraid of death, but rather of the more than one hundred torture methods employed by the Huo family army, each one making him wish he were dead.
"Okay, then take a look. Isn't this the man in front of you who used to exchange messages with you?"
Hearing this, the bearded man looked at Jia Dafu, who was covered in blood, with suspicion.
Then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted, "That's right, it's him! He's the one who made contact with the villain!"

But soon he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Qin Yue Zhao, don't think that just because you've found someone to frame me, I'll admit that I did nothing, and no one instructed me to betray the country!"
The bearded man was furious upon hearing this!
"What the hell? You're the one wearing the mask! I'd recognize your voice and figure even if you were reduced to ashes!"
"Dare to open your palm? I remember you have a scar on the tiger's mouth!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan'er stepped on Jia Dafu and forcibly pried his hands off.
He glanced at it and exclaimed with delight, "Your Highness, this scoundrel does indeed have a scar on his palm!"
However, when Jia Dafu's identity was exposed, he not only remained calm but also burst into laughter:
"You're accusing me of treason just because of a scar? I'm not the only one with scars in Liangcheng. I can only say that if you're determined to find fault, you can always find a reason. Kill me if you want!"
Qin Yue Zhao narrowed her eyes slightly and walked step by step to him.
"Very well! I can spare your life, but I will kill your son first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Dafu's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared like a vicious dog:
"Qin Yue Zhao, how dare you kill innocent people indiscriminately? The Huo family army cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Seeing that Jia Dafu was losing his temper, Qin Yuezhao snorted coldly:
