The elder said sarcastically, "Did I say something wrong? When General Wei and his son went to the North City to collect the body of Wu Anjun, didn't you deliberately leak the news, causing them to be ambushed by the people of Beiyan?"

General Leng suppressed his anger and looked at him with his eyes like torches: "I didn't! How could I do that?"

The Great Elder sneered and said, "Admit it, Leng Tiannan, if someone hadn't leaked their whereabouts, how could they have been ambushed?"

General Leng once again placed his sword on the Great Elder's neck: "I see you are not here to make a deal with me, you are here to force me to admit to a false charge! Why? What has the death of the Wei family had to do with your White Lotus Sect? No, the Wei family was killed by your White Lotus Sect! Now that you want to form an alliance with the court, you want to put this crime on my head? Wishful thinking!"

The Great Elder narrowed his eyes dangerously: "General Leng..."

General Leng said sternly: "That's enough! Even if you say it a thousand times or ten thousand times, I will not betray the court!"

"What a pity! I wanted to save your son's life."

The Great Elder sneered and said this, then turned around, opened the door, and strode out.

General Leng was drenched in cold sweat and fell into a chair.

"father."

Leng Zhiruo pushed the door open with a sword.

What responded to her was Leng Tiannan's scolding: "I didn't frame the Wei family!"

Leng Zhiruo was stunned: "Dad?"

Leng Tiannan was sweating profusely. He calmed himself down and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened just now, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"I understand, Dad." Leng Zhiruo agreed.

"How is your injury?" Leng Tiannan suddenly became concerned about Leng Zhiruo.

Leng Zhiruo was slightly startled and said, "It's okay."

Leng Tiannan said coldly: "If the peace talks fail, you and I will be prepared to infiltrate the White Lotus Sect and rescue your elder brother."

My father's concern is...

The night breeze in early summer is warm, yet it pricks the lungs like icicles in winter.

Leng Zhiruo lowered her eyes: "Yes."

After Leng Zhiruo left, Leng Tiannan sat alone in the room.

He didn't light the lamp.

The whole person was swallowed by the huge mouth of the dark abyss.

He did not deliberately frame Wei Xu and his sons.

He didn’t mean to…

He is not...

On the roof, two dark shadows used their lightness skills to leave without leaving a trace.

After flashing back into the house, the two pulled off their masks.

"There's something wrong with Leng Tiannan." The old marquis frowned and said, "Your father and brother's death back then was closely related to him. But whether it was a deliberate frame-up is hard to say for now."

Wei Ting nodded slightly.

He also noticed that Leng Tiannan's reaction was not right.

He was too emotional.

But as the old marquis said, it might just be a momentary mistake that led to the disclosure of his father and brothers' whereabouts.

He said calmly: "Even if it is a mistake, it is unforgivable."

The old marquis looked at Wei Ting in surprise. Despite his young age, he had a determined character, was cruel, straightforward, and ruthless.

"Yes, if he really did make a mistake, he should have come out and admitted it, instead of enjoying the military merits earned by the Wei family after harming the Wei family, while feeling at ease dividing up the military power of the Wei family. More importantly, in order to cover up his mistake, did he delay the subsequent rescue?"

This is not difficult to understand.

If Leng Tiannan had really leaked the whereabouts of several people by accident, and Leng Tiannan himself had also realized it, would he have led his troops to chase them immediately, or would he have pretended to be unaware? When he led his troops to chase them, Wei Xu asked him, "Why did you rush here? Did you know that the Northern Yan army would attack at night?"

What did he say? Because I accidentally leaked your whereabouts to Beiyan? In this case, Leng Tiannan will undoubtedly be punished by military law.

If it was just a negligence, it wouldn't be the most hateful thing. But if Leng Tiannan clearly had the opportunity to make amends, but deliberately did not take action in order to cover up the negligence, he would really deserve to die.

The old marquis patted Wei Ting on the shoulder and said, "Let's first deal with the White Lotus Sect and Leng Tiannan's affairs. It won't be too late to investigate again when we return to Beijing."

…

At daybreak, Su Ergou was woken up by the servants of the Su family. After washing up and having breakfast, he prepared to go to the Imperial College to study with Su Qi and Su Yu.

Just as I was about to leave the yard, a cute little kid jumped over.

"uncle!"

"Little... Tiger?" Su Ergou scratched his head, a little unsure which little guy it was.

Da Hu is actually the easiest to identify because he has no wind-shaking pattern on his forehead.

But there are both Erhu and Xiaohu, and he often can't tell them apart.

"I'm not Xiaohu." said Erhu.

"Oh, Erhu." Su Ergou asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

"I want to go out and play." Erhu said.

Su Ergou said: "I have to go to class, so I can't take you out to play."

Erhu raised his little head and said, "Just send me to the Imperial Observatory!"

Su Ergou looked behind Erhu and said, "Aren't you going to wait for Dahu and Xiaohu?"

Erhu said: "They are still sleeping, wait for them next time!"

Su Ergou scratched his head strangely: "Okay then."

Su Ergou, Su Qi and Su Yu sent Erhu to the Imperial Observatory.

"Goodbye Uncle Ergou, goodbye Uncle Qi, goodbye Uncle Yu!"

Erhu waved politely to the few people, turned around and walked into the Imperial Observatory.

He went directly to the Star-Picking Tower.

As soon as Sikong Yun got up, he saw a cute little kid standing at his door, and he shuddered.

Erhu raised his little face and said in a cute and serious tone, "Grandpa Sikong, I want to enter the palace."

Sikong Yun woke up halfway from his nap: "You little brat, you still know how to enter the palace?"

Erhu said, "Xiaohu has entered the palace."

Last night when Tao was giving Xiaohu a bath, Xiaohu woke up and boasted about his experience in the palace.

There are many fun things in the palace, and Erhu also wants to go.

Erhu is the smartest one among the three little ones. Xiaohu is stupid and doesn't understand anything, but he understands everything.

It was Sikong Yun’s big box that “sent” Xiaohu into the palace.

Sikong Yun said angrily: "Humph, no way!"

Erhu said seriously: "If you don't send me there, I will tell Xiaohu where your suona is hidden!"

Sikong Yun's mouth twitched.

Xiaohu couldn't stand the gong anymore, so if he played the suona, wouldn't it be like sending him to heaven on the spot, shoulder to shoulder with the rising sun? Half an hour later, a box of elixirs from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was sent to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace.

"These are the pills made for the Queen Mother. They can replenish Qi and blood and prolong life." After Yu Feng finished speaking, he said to the little kid behind him, "Pill boy, serve the Queen Mother the medicine."

A little kid in a Taoist robe entered the Queen Mother's bedroom holding a box of pills.

The Queen Mother's listless eyes suddenly brightened up again, and she quickly dismissed the palace servants: "Xiao Hu?"

Why does it feel a little wrong?

Erhu said: "Great-grandmother, I am Erhu!"

The Queen Mother was shocked!

Erhu came to her and said, "Great-grandmother, Erhu misses you."

The Queen Mother excitedly hugged the little guy into her arms: "Grandma misses Erhu too...I miss him so much..."

She just met Xiaohu yesterday, and today she met Erhu. Is she dreaming? (End of this chapter)
