The emperor knew that Concubine Ji would not ask any good questions.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and then he said: "...I am always accompanied by a large number of guards when I travel, so this kind of situation will not happen. If something really happens, I will naturally save the Queen Mother first. As for Concubine De, she is gentle and virtuous, and she will definitely understand my filial piety."

General Bai felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He clenched his fists unconsciously and his fingertips gently stroked the cold hilt of the knife at his waist.

Concubine De accompanied the emperor for many years and even gave birth to Princess Xiyan for the emperor.

Your Majesty’s words are so cold and mean!

The bamboo tube continued to circulate among the people in a clockwise order.

After two rounds, no one drew a good or bad lot.

Young Master Xiaoqing looked at the bamboo tube in his hand in confusion, his tone a little strange, "How strange, how come there is only the winning ticket in this bamboo tube? Is there something wrong? Or... someone can't afford to play?"

Wu Qing looked at the emperor suspiciously, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

The emperor smiled faintly and said nothing.

If the next time the lucky number is drawn by Ji Guiren, will he still have the face? The bamboo tube is his, so he has the final say on what to draw.

The bamboo tube went around several times and returned to General Bai's hands.

General Bai drew again and finally pulled out a bamboo stick other than the middle one.

——On the top of a dark green bamboo stick about the width of a finger, the word “Shang” was written in cinnabar.

General Bai raised his eyebrows and pondered his next move.

At this moment, countless quick and sharp whistles suddenly rang out in the deep forests, startling the birds in the forest to flap their wings and fly high.

Although they could not see the changing weather below the mountain, the people on the platform could vaguely sense that there were many people walking in the jungle in the distance.

General Bai smiled immediately.

Time is running out, the main force of the Bai family army must have found his trace!

The emperor's life is already in his pocket!

"Haha, it's God's will, how can it not fulfill our wishes?"

General Bai threw the lucky number in front of everyone and laughed wildly, "God is blessing me. It really is a lucky number!"

The word "上" rolled several times on the ground, and some of the cinnabar on the word was worn off.

Looking at it upside down, it looks like the character "下".

On the silent platform, only General Bai's arrogant words were heard in response: "Your Majesty, please don't blame me. You dug your own grave."

"How can a treacherous, shameless and despicable person like you have the face to be the leader of a country?"

General Bai spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner, which made Wu Qing look at him sideways.

Who said that military commanders can't talk? Here's one.

Amid the insults, the emperor was neither anxious nor hurried, and even had the leisure to take another sip of wine.

After finishing the second cup, he raised his eyes and said to General Bai with a smile: "I said that the general was old, but the general did not believe me. Now it seems that the general's eyesight is not as good as before. He can even mistake the master of the army."

After figuring out what the emperor meant, General Bai stood up suddenly and looked down the mountain.

The army went up the mountain, but it was not the Bai family army.

The soldiers were lined up in fours, like a black torrent, covering the entire mountain road. Looking around, there were about a thousand of them. Based on the traces of birds and beasts fleeing in the forest, General Bai had no doubt that there were at least seven or eight such teams in the mountains.

At the head of the team, a large flag fluttered, with the word "Li" on it as bright red as blood, announcing the affiliation of this team.

They were the Li family army that was supposed to be stationed outside the capital. It would take at least three days and three nights to get from the camp to the hunting ground outside the capital.

——In other words, the emperor had been prepared for him and mobilized Li’s army in advance.

General Bai turned around and said in shock: "The Emperor has already made preparations?!"

The emperor chuckled, with a hint of disdain and self-mockery on his face, "Who do you think I am?"

If he has to listen to Concubine Ji's thoughts every day but still can't read the rebellious intentions of some people, then he might as well not be the emperor.

General Bai's heart suddenly shook.

He subconsciously drew out the knife at hand, but was hit on the arm by a thousand-pound sword.

General Bai groaned and heard the sound of his bones breaking.

"General, I told you." Young Master Xiaoqing didn't raise his eyebrows, his expression was a little cold, "I know a little bit of swordsmanship."

Young Master Xiaobai also silently raised his gun and aimed at his forehead.

Being attacked from both sides, even if General Bai had great abilities, he would not be able to escape from the clutches of the two.

General Bai then realized that his previous vigilance was not without reason.

The Emperor also said, "The game is not over yet, where are you busy going, General?"

He shook the bamboo tube, and the bamboo stick slid from the hole in the center of the tube mouth to the ground.

——It’s a bad lot.

The one who drew the best lot just now was General Bai. In other words, it was General Bai's turn to ask the emperor questions this time.

"I choose the truth."

The emperor looked at General Bai with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "General, do you have any questions for me? I will definitely answer them for you and will not hide anything."

Wu Qing felt that the emperor not only killed the person but also wanted to destroy his heart, so that General Bai would die with a clear conscience.

The troops going up the mountain continued in an endless stream, and General Bai's face looked increasingly worse.

"Your Majesty, do you still have the mind to play games?" he asked.

The emperor nodded. "How can we not enjoy such a beautiful scenery and such a good time? The general is restless and it's time to calm down."

"...How did the emperor know that?" General Bai stared at the emperor's slightly drunk face, his heart full of confusion.

He has fought for the Chen Kingdom all these years and has always been very loyal to the Emperor. No one knows where he went wrong.

Even if the emperor knew that he was going to rebel, how could he be sure that he would do it during the winter hunt?

The emperor said slowly, "I am not sure, but I am just on guard against you. Of course, if it is just a guess, I will not let General Li make this trip in vain."

The emperor poured himself a glass of wine, and when he looked up, he saw Wu Qing's greedy look.

He paused, took Wu Qing's cup and poured her half a cup, and continued, "Captain Jiao sent a secret report the day before yesterday, saying that the general seemed to be secretly mobilizing a large number of elite troops, and warned me."

Great, it turned out that it was the old man Jiao Deshan who betrayed him!

General Bai's eyes turned red with anger.

He said that when Li's troops went up the mountain, they were in high spirits and well-equipped, and it didn't look like they had fought a fierce battle with Bai's troops at the foot of the mountain.

Wu Qing took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and his facial features wrinkled instantly.

[Damn, it tastes terrible! ]

The emperor chuckled and said, "Oh, I forgot. Not only Jiao, but also Mi and Liu, the general's assistants. They all sent their wives to the palace to give me messages in a roundabout way."

General Bai’s first reaction was disbelief.

If there was only Leader Jiao, he would still believe him to some extent.

But if the three people closest to him all rebelled...this is impossible.

"General Bai, I have told you this many times." The emperor sighed, "You have never had a family, so how can you know the benefits of having one? The three of them already have children and grandchildren. Do you still think of them as the good brothers who fought on the battlefield with you back then?"

The bamboo tube was passed among the crowd again.

This time the best lot is General Bai, and the worst lot is Young Master Xiaoqing.

Without waiting for the other party to choose truth or dare, General Bai asked anxiously: "Who are you? What kind of sword is this?"

Wu Qing cleared his throat and regained his voice, "Hello, I am Lady Ji. I didn't lie to you, this sword is the Evil Breaking Sword."

General Bai stared at her in disbelief.

After a while, his face turned gray and he murmured, "So that's it...it turned out to be the power of the goddess."

Wu Qing: “…” He fooled the person again.
