Chapter 23 The emperor and his ministers converse, little girl?
When talking about the previous war, the emperor also fell silent.
Although he had won the previous battle with Beiliang, the losses of the Northern Wing Army always made him unable to sleep and feel heartbroken whenever he thought about it.
"General Zhang..."
The emperor sighed.
"When the princes rebelled, I was entrusted by the late emperor to inherit the throne. It was General Zhang who risked his life to deliver the late emperor's imperial edict to me and led his troops to protect me."
"In those days... no matter what happened, I could always see General Zhang guarding behind me whenever I looked back."
"During the battle of crossing the river, General Zhang was stabbed 17 times, but all of them were on the front of his body, with no wounds on his back."
"How could I not know General Zhang's loyalty?"
"I lost General Zhang this time. Even if I won the battle of Beiliang, I would not be happy."
Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes welled up with tears, and he seemed to be thinking of the brave general who had always been guarding behind him.
but……
"Of course I won't let General Zhang die in vain, but... I will let someone investigate. You idiot, you, you..."
"Today, I have ordered the capture of the head of the Beiliang secret agents. We have also searched his secret residence in Beijing and found his correspondence and documents."
What?!
The Emperor, who was about to get angry, was stunned for a moment.
He originally wanted to say that the boy was too impulsive. It was not easy to investigate secret agents. What if he got hurt while secretly investigating? !
Who would have thought...
Chu Wuxun had only been back in Beijing for a few days, but he had already captured the spy chief and even raided his lair.
So fast?
"Really?!"
"The key letter has been found."
Chu Wuxun took out a few letters from his arms and was about to present them with both hands when he was dragged away by the anxious emperor.
"Also, there are other correspondence in that private residence. I have already ordered the Black Armored Army to seal the boxes. They are outside the Qinzheng Palace for now."
Soon, two black-armored soldiers came in carrying a box.
After reading the two letters, the emperor's face was filled with anger and sneer.
"Great! My harem has become a sieve! And the Ministry of War..."
The content of the letter is simply shocking.
"Wu Xian, you have done a great job again this time."
Chu Wuxun still had that cold and lonely look.
"I disobeyed the imperial order and returned to the capital without permission. I dare not claim any merit... I just wanted to seek justice for General Zhang and the Northern Wing Army who died unjustly."
"Okay, okay! If General Zhang knew about this in the afterlife, you've worked so hard for him, and you should rest in peace. I will send all those criminals who colluded with Beiliang to prison to comfort General Zhang's spirit in heaven!"
However……
Chu Wuhuang shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I have read the letter. Although the people who contacted the Beiliang spy are despicable, they have no access to the march map... It is obvious that someone passed the news to Beiliang through these people. Even the Beiliang spy does not know the identity of this person."
"Therefore, I suggest that we should not make any alarm at this moment, but instead focus on these people and find the person behind the scenes."
The emperor was silent for a while, then read several key letters over and over again. Later, he opened the box and looked through the correspondence inside.
Finally, he nodded.
"Wu Xian, you are right... Although these people are despicable, the person behind the scenes must not be let off."
"I'll leave this matter to you. You must investigate it thoroughly for me!"
"yes!"
Chu Wuxun bowed and saluted.
“You…”
The emperor stepped forward and held Chu Wuxun's hands.
"You and I are uncle and nephew, why bother... Hey, Wuxeng, why are your hands so cold? Is your cold poison acting up again?!"
Holding Chu Wuxun's hands, it felt like holding a piece of cold jade.
Chu Wuxun pulled his hand back and shook his head.
"I'm fine..."
"Don't talk!"
The emperor just waved his hand.
"I don't believe what you said, you tell me..."
He pointed his finger at a black-armored guard who had just entered carrying a box of letters.
The black-armored guard raised his head, revealing a chubby little round face.
It was Chu Wuxun’s confidant, Xue Lang.
"I?"
"Yes, it's you. Tell me! What's going on with your prince? Don't look at him. Tell me!"
Xue Lang pouted and felt that his life was very miserable.
"Well... actually..."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our prince returned to the capital early to investigate the Beiliang spy. Who would have thought... I don't know how the news leaked out, but someone actually intercepted our prince outside the city and killed him. He fell into a valley. It was snowing heavily... He stayed in the cave for a night and almost froze to death."
"Fortunately, a little girl saved our prince, but even so, the prince's cold poison still broke out."
"Even so, Your Majesty is still diligently investigating the spy's matter. Fortunately, we found the thief's lair today..."
"It was just to protect a little girl, the little girl who saved our general before... The prince used his inner strength again. This cold poison must be more powerful."
emperor:……
Although I am very angry and strongly condemn my nephew's behavior of not taking care of his body.
but……
He seemed to have grasped another important point.
"Little girl? Stayed overnight? And... saved the girl?"
Is this still his asexual nephew?
Is this still the aloof and cold King Jing?
"Who is that little girl you're talking about?"
"Is she pretty? Is she married? Whose family is she from?!"
Chu Wuxun frowned as he listened to the emperor's increasingly excited voice.
"His Majesty……"
"Don't listen to him!"
As he spoke, the emperor stared at Xue Lang.
say.
Speak quickly!
Xue Lang: ...
I always feel like I have only two choices today...die here or die there.
Forget it, let’s not die here first.
"Your Majesty, that little girl is General Jiang Zhen's daughter. Her name is Jiang Yueyao. She is 15 years old and has never been married."
“Oh hoo hoo~~”
The emperor was happy.
15 years old, the same age as flowers.
Or the descendant of a military general.
The most important thing is... never married!!!
"Okay, okay, okay, okay!!"
The emperor felt as if a ray of light suddenly illuminated the heart of this old father.
"Well, Shuzi, you have finally grown up..."
…
…
“A-choo!”
Jiang Yueyao rubbed her nose.
[Could it be that I caught a cold because I worked too hard tonight? ]
[Colds are no small matter these days. Why don’t you go back to (the system store) **** and buy some cold medicine?]
[Hahaha, I made a lot of money today, I can spend it however I want in the future! ]
[But... there is one more thing to do]
"Sister, pig... Mainly, thank the young marquis. Is the King Jing you are talking about a decent person?"
Jiang Yueyao looked at Jiang Yuehua and Xie Yanqing who were standing opposite her with serious expressions.
It also asked a very serious and serious question.
