"Fu Rong, stop making such a fuss." Wang Zebang glanced at him impatiently.
But Wei Yao felt that Fu Rong had been acting strangely ever since he was shot with a slingshot by "Sang Xuanqing" at the quarry.
But he had no time to pay attention to Fu Rong. Wei Yao looked towards the other side of the "chasm," where a fierce wind howled from the bottom of the cliff... Sang Xuanqing had finally reached the other side. From now on, she would probably never turn back.
Of course, given the general's single act of disloyalty, which resulted in his execution and disuse, she would not be given a chance to turn back.
At this moment, Wei Yao was unaware of the various changes that had just occurred. He only thought that Sang Xuanqing had betrayed Ye and defected to the enemy, leaving with Mo Ye.
At this moment, Fu Rong didn't care about anyone else. He just looked at Yuwen Sheng with a confused mind and said with difficulty, "I... I had no objection just now... I saw that Sang Xuanqing was wearing a... gold and jade bracelet around her neck."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Fu Rong.
Despite the pressure, especially the most overwhelming one, Fu Rong managed to finish speaking: "Although I only caught a glimpse, I am confident that my eyesight is not mistaken; that is the Luan bracelet of the General's Phoenix and Luan Bracelets."
Yuwen Sheng paused, frowned slightly for a moment, then smiled again: "What are you talking about? Sang Xuanqing is wearing a phoenix bracelet on her chest?"
Fu Rong's words were so funny that even Wang Zebang and Wei Yao thought he must be seeing things.
Even if the lady were foolish, she would never give the wedding gift given by the general to her brother to wear close to his body.
If it is said that Sang Xuanqing stole it without permission, that doesn't make sense either. Why would he steal his own sister's things?
Fu Rong recalled the "Sang Xuanqing" he had met before.
Dressed in a neat men's outfit that constricted her sleeves and trousers, she had just endured a brutal ordeal with barbarians: whipping, strangulation, and rolling down a hillside. Her hands and feet were covered in shocking abrasions, but she didn't cry out in pain...
Even though her eyes were red and swollen, she still held back her fierce determination and refused to shed a tear.
Later, in order to kill Gongshu Lan, she was struck by an iron olive from the general, and the blood she shed almost stained half of her body red...
The general may have witnessed these things and remained indifferent, observing them coldly. But what would he do if he learned the truth...?
Unable to bear it any longer, Fu Rong closed his eyes and revealed a shocking truth: "General, Sang Xuanqing is not a man. I can confirm that she is a woman."
The smile on Yuwen Sheng's lips gradually faded from his face.
“Sang Xuanqing is a woman… impossible.”
He clearly remembered that Sang Xuanqing had male characteristics, which he had touched unintentionally, so how could he possibly be a woman?
Fu Rong asked directly, "General, have you truly never had any doubts...?"
When Yuwen Sheng was asked this, he remembered the series of strange actions Sang Xuanqing had taken after finding the candy bag. She had always feared him, dreaded him, and avoided him, regarding him as a poisonous insect or a ferocious beast. But this time, she dared to remove his mask...
At the time, he was so immersed in the mire of his past that he lost control of his emotions and didn't pay much attention to her changes.
Now, looking back, she... she was always looking at him with a shocked, complicated... familiar look that he dared not recall at this moment.
And in those clear and clean eyes, there seemed to be no disgust or aversion that should have been present in the "phoenix tears" at the corners of his eyes.
If she really is a woman disguised as a man...
She always wore the phoenix bracelet he had given her on their wedding night...
Also, there were the brother and sister from the Sang family who had never appeared together before...
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. The scenes that he had taken for granted suddenly became sharp blades that backfired, and Yuwen Sheng's face grew paler and paler.
No way, how could that be? Sang Xuanqing is Zheng Quchi, and Zheng Quchi is Sang Xuanqing.
What did he do to her before?
"General! General, please calm down!"
All he could hear were Wang Zebang and the others shouting in terror and panic. Yuwen Sheng looked at them, completely unaware of the expression on his face.
He was sinister, angry, grief-stricken, and remorseful; he seemed to have been torn in two, twisted and terrifying.
He slowly turned his gaze to the opposite cliff where Mo Ye had once appeared. Back then, Mo Ye had arrogantly and proudly carried the unconscious Zheng Quchi away on horseback right in front of him.
Yuwen Sheng clenched his fists. This man, who had always been cold-hearted, suddenly understood what people meant by "regret for what one has done."
“We can’t let them take the people away! We can’t…” he said in an extremely calm voice, “Notify everyone to prepare to close the net.”
Fu Rong was shocked: "What?! Now? But currently only the Kingdom of Julu has appeared on the border, the time is not yet ripe..."
He curled his red lips into a smile, his evil eyes fixed on Fu Rong, which seemed to be filled with a sinister, ghostly aura: "This general must take her back, even if it means marching all the way to Julu Kingdom and slaughtering every last one of the border towns of Julu!"
Fu Rong finally knew what would happen to the general after he found out everything.
He'll go crazy.
They're so crazy they don't care about anything.
He will never let go!
"General, is Sang Xuanqing our lady?" Wei Yao was stunned when he heard the last part.
Wang Zebang was the same; he was not only stunned, but also looked as if the sky was about to fall and he could hardly accept it.
"how so……"
Any sound that reached his ears at that moment was so sharp that it gave him a headache.
This time, it was more unbearable than ever before, making him want to destroy and kill, but he couldn't go crazy yet because he needed a calm and collected mind to save someone.
