"Ah? Princess, are you testing us?"
"Just think of it as a test. If you pass, those four won't have a chance anymore. From now on, I'll just want you four to be my guards. If you don't, go home and farm!"
Wu Yu, "As long as they don't find us, will the princess let the four of them leave?"
Qin Qingyao nodded, "Of course, because that fully proves that you four are stronger than them. Conversely, they are stronger than you!"
Qi Mo rubbed his hands together, "Actually, Princess, you can let us have a fair fight. I've disliked Zheng Mingxuan for a long time, and I really want to give him a legitimate beating!"
"Haha, don't worry, there will be opportunities for you to compete. Now, your test begins, everyone, take your positions!"
"Yes! I obey your command!"
Not long after the four left, Wu Gang and Wu Cheng came back.
Qin Qingyao was not surprised at all. It seemed that she had known that they would come back, so she was waiting for them in the house.
"Those four people don't know that you four are back, right?"
"I don't know. Commander Zhao called them away and they haven't come back yet."
"That's good. Tell me what you found out at the military camp."
Although it was written in the letter, it was not as clear as saying it face to face. Wu Gang and Wu Cheng clearly and systematically provided conclusive evidence to prove that the 100 men under their respective command were fine and could not be the murderer.
"That is to say, you haven't figured out anything about the murderer."
Wu Gang and Wu Cheng really couldn't understand why the princess still firmly believed that the murderer of Baiji was among these people?
They both knelt on the ground, clasped their fists, and bowed their heads to apologize, "We have failed the princess's trust and deserve death."
Qin Qingyao waved her hand and asked them to stand up. "That's not the case. You have already investigated everything clearly. It's just that the authorities are confused."
"What do you mean, Princess? Have you figured out who the murderer is?"
"Yeah, I see."
Wu Gang and Wu Cheng looked at each other, both confused, "Please give me some advice, Princess!"
"Can anyone tell me where the captains of the two teams were between the morning of April 25th, when the initial battle deployment was completed, and the afternoon of April 26th, when they were counting the number of prisoners and 'dead' personnel and redeploying the battle plan?"
Wu Gang and Wu Cheng froze, their eyes widening instantly, unable to utter a single word. Bai Zhi took a deep breath in disbelief. This...
The captains of those two teams are An Yu and Zheng Mingxuan!
The reason why Wu Gang and Wu Cheng had nothing to say was that in the entire rehearsal process that they had found out, during that period of time, in everyone's description, there was a blank about the whereabouts of An Yu and Zheng Mingxuan!
During the entire rehearsal, only the two captains disappeared!
Because they are the captains, no one will ask where they are going.
Also because they are the captains, everyone has to listen to their commands. As long as those people are dispersed, no one will care where the captain goes.
Everyone would take it for granted that if the captain wasn't with me, he was with someone else.
Only by letting all these one hundred people summarize their accounts can we directly prove that the two people had indeed disappeared for about two days and one night!
Do whatever you want!
After Wu Gang and Wu Cheng figured it out, they really felt that their brains were not enough. Could it be that the princess suspected those two people from the beginning, so she made them go through so much trouble to find evidence?
But before those two were sent out to protect Lin Xiafeng, they were the most outstanding and most trusted among the prince's personal guards.
It's really not surprising at all that they know the secret orders of the Yanling Army.
But they actually tried to steal the secret order and even killed the princess's maid?
So they had already betrayed the prince? And the princess had doubts, yet she still dared to bring them to her side?
Wu Gang and Wu Cheng thought of this incredible situation almost at the same time, and then looked at Qin Qingyao with worry and anger, which scared her.
"Why are you staring at me?"
"Princess, you...are really being ridiculous!"
This time, Bai Zhi didn't think that the two of them were being unruly. She stood on the same side with them and looked at Qin Qingyao angrily.
Qin Qingyao still had the same theory, "Don't worry, I'll transfer the four of them to my side. It's the safest place for them. As long as they don't want to expose themselves, they won't allow themselves to neglect their duties and will definitely do their best to protect me!"
Wu Gang keenly grasped another message from Qin Qingyao's words, "Could it be that the princess is not only suspicious of An Yu and Zheng Mingxuan, but also that Wan Cheng and Mu Ke are in cahoots with them?"
Qin Qingyao narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Smart!"
Wu Cheng nodded in sudden realization. No wonder the princess had specifically requested these four people from the beginning.
Wu Gang didn't feel the slightest bit of joy at being praised. He felt even more helpless and angry looking at Qin Qingyao. The princess was simply being too unreasonable. He really wanted to run to the prince and complain!
"Anyway, you two just need to be aware of this. You also know how outstanding these four are, how popular they are in the Royal Guards and the Flame Army, and how much they are respected and trusted by the prince!"
Wu Gang: That was all in the past!
"So, if there is no evidence, even if I am the princess, I cannot just say without any evidence that they are traitors and murderers."
"Even if the prince trusts me, I can only drive them away, not actually convict them! If they then put on a face that they are extremely wronged, how will the other brothers look at me and the prince?"
Qin Qingyao asked herself and answered, "They will only think that one of us is unreasonable and unreasonable, and the other is foolish and lustful!"
"Princess, you are too kind. The brothers don't think so."
"You don't know how to do that. What about the two hundred personal guards? What about the five thousand Flame Army? Not even one person?"
Wu Gang and Wu Cheng were speechless, but they still couldn't accept that the princess was joking about her own safety just to give everyone an explanation!
"Alright, alright, don't be so serious. Now that the four of you are back, you must be careful to protect me. Don't let me get killed by them. I'm counting on you!"
Wu Gang and Wu Cheng suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility, their blood boiling. "Please rest assured, Princess. We will do our utmost to protect you, even if it means death!"
"Hey, it's best if no one dies! You two go down, and don't tell anyone about this, not even the prince or Commander Zhao!"
Wu Gang, "Now that the evidence is solid, why doesn't the princess just tell the prince?"
"We've only proven that the two of them had the time to commit the crime. How can that be considered conclusive evidence? Don't worry, we don't need to tell the prince about this. I'll let the four of them speak for themselves!"
Speak for yourself? Although they were really curious about how the princess planned to get the four people to speak for themselves, they did not continue to ask.
The princess is truly intelligent. She is so confident that she must have already thought of a foolproof plan.
Besides, the four of them have returned. They will always guard the princess and make sure she doesn’t get into any trouble!
Qin Qingyao had indeed thought about how to make those four people speak for themselves, and also thought about what kind of ending they should have!
Baiji died so painfully and so innocently. If the murderer was just driven away and returned to Lin Xiafeng to continue making trouble, how could Baiji rest in peace!
Since Lin Xiafeng dared to touch her people, she should reciprocate. Blood debt must be repaid with blood!
Losing these four minions who were highly skilled in martial arts, loyal to her and respected her alone would be like having her hands chopped off and her eyes blinded. She would definitely cry!
After all, they should be Lin Xiafeng's most trusted supporters and her lifelong guardians. There are countless places where she needs to use these four masters!
She couldn't live without them, so even after she ascended the throne, she brought the four of them into the palace!
After Wu Gang and the other three came back, Qin Qingyao felt much better. Although she had a lot of theories when persuading others, she was really scared of being stared at by those four people all the time!
What if one day they no longer need to stay in the palace, and before leaving, they take her life back to make Lin Xiafeng happy, who can she complain to?
With the four of them back, she had one less thing to worry about, and she could implement her future plans with peace of mind.
Before going to bed at night, Qin Qingyao told Dugu Yu that she had used fake accounts to threaten Ling Jingxuan.
Dugu Yu really found it unbelievable, "You showed him things that he couldn't even understand, and he believed them?"
"I believe it."
"Why does he trust you so much?"
"Uh...it's my fault for talking too much before. He must have discovered something."
Even so, Dugu Yu still felt uncomfortable with Ling Jingxuan's unprincipled and unfounded trust in Qin Qingyao.
He leaned sideways, staring at Qin Qingyao without blinking, without saying a word, which made Qin Qingyao feel uneasy.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you angry that I went to see him? I broke the house rules, you can punish me, I will never complain!"
Dugu Yu, "We'll talk about the family rules later."
"So what are you talking about now?"
Dugu Yu sighed, "Actually, I also know that relying on those means won't do anything to Prince Duan. If he's in trouble, I won't be much better off. This is basically a case of both of us perishing together."
"I've always wanted to find out who in the military camp colluded with him to do such a big thing and still be able to hide it from the world without anyone noticing!"
"I didn't expect that you would ask him to send the list to me before I even found out anything."
"What did you say? He already gave you the list?"
Dugu Yu nodded, "I have already given it."
Qin Qingyao was really surprised. He was given two days, and only one day had passed. Prince Duan was quite efficient!
