"I just heard such rumors, and I don't know whether it is true or not. So when this happened, I got excited and doubted and offended General Han."
"Where did you hear this rumor, Commander Liu, and why did you tell it out loud? Aren't you afraid that I will suspect you?" When Liu Xiu asked this, his eyes were fixed on Liu Kuan, as if he wanted to see something from Liu Kuan's actions.
Liu Kuan looked up at Liu Xiu without any guilt or worry. "I am innocent and have never done anything to betray my lord. Why should you worry? Only those who really have something to hide should worry. Besides, I have reasons that I have to tell you. I didn't notice it before. When Chen Chu targeted General Han and turned against him, I felt something was wrong. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
"Is there something fishy going on here?" Before Liu Xiu could ask, a rather straightforward and impatient commander immediately asked.
"Yes, there is indeed something fishy. In fact, it's not just the rumors about General Han this time. There have been similar incidents before. Although they did not cause major losses, they caused suspicion and distrust among our colleagues, and almost caused us to turn against each other. Those who spread rumors must have a purpose. Who would do this?"
"Who on earth would do this, Commander Liu, just tell me the answer straight away. Don't keep me in suspense. You've got me worried. Just tell me now!"
The one who spoke was the same general from before, and his words were full of urging. It was obvious that he really took what Liu Kuan said to heart and was even more curious.
"In fact, this will not benefit any of us. This is what I didn't understand the most at the time, so I believed the words of the instigator. Now that I think about it, the only one who will benefit from this is the enemy. This must be a conspiracy by the enemy to deliberately divide us internally. They want to see us suspicious of each other so that they can take advantage of us."
"So that's how it is, my goodness! This damned Zhao thief is so cunning. He can't beat us on the battlefield, and he actually uses such a treacherous scheme in private. It's really hateful. Fortunately, Commander Liu discovered it in time, otherwise we would have really fallen into the enemy's trap. Didn't Chen Muzuo and General Han almost turn against each other just now?"
What Liu Kuan said was well-reasoned, and he looked so open-minded and loyal. The generals present, who were simple-minded, almost all believed what he said. After all, Liu Kuan's explanation was very reasonable. Of course, some people were very angry that Liu Kuan was so cunning that he actually deceived everyone.
"Captain Liu hasn't answered yet. Where did you hear these rumors? If we catch this man, we can also find out the spies the enemy has planted among us!" Yin Shi said in an aggressive tone, his eyes fixed on Liu Kuan.
Liu Kuan's eyes flickered, but he was not panicked. Since he said so, he was naturally prepared. Hearing Yin Shi's words, he said, "This is really unfortunate. I just heard a few soldiers say it when I was passing by. It looked a little unfamiliar. I was confused when I heard it, and I didn't realize it was the enemy's treacherous plot. I just believed it, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, I couldn't find it when I went to look for it. It's all my fault for being careless!"
When Liu Kuan said this, his face was full of self-blame, and it was difficult to blame him any more. After all, anyone who encountered such a situation would immediately realize that this was a trap. Immediately, a general who was on good terms with Liu Kuan spoke up.
"Why should Commander Liu blame himself? The enemy is so insidious and cunning, it is normal for Commander Liu not to notice it. If Commander Liu hadn't reminded us, we would have almost fallen into the enemy's trap."
Yin Shi sneered at the side: "Liu Zuoling has said everything, what else can we say? For something like this without any evidence, how can Liu Zuoling prove that what you said is true?"
"Brother Yin, what are you talking about? Don't you know who Brother Liu is? He won't lie to us." The man usually had a good relationship with Yin Shi and Liu Kuan. After hearing what Yin Shi said, he wanted to smooth things over. He didn't understand why Yin Shi suddenly targeted Liu Kuan.
"As the saying goes, you can judge a person by his face but not by his heart. I really don't know what kind of person Liu Zuoling is." Yin Shi snorted coldly. He felt that Liu Kuan was more and more cunning. He had never realized that Liu Kuan was so scheming before. Perhaps Liu Kuan deliberately created that illusion to confuse him.
Hearing Yin Shi's words, Liu Kuan was not angry, but felt more guilty: "It is my fault that I failed to catch those spies who spread rumors in time. It is not unreasonable for Lord Yin to question me like this, but now that things have come to this, it is meaningless to argue about these things. The most important thing is that we must unite as one and not fall into the enemy's trap."
Liu Kuan was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that before Han Yu could do anything to him, Yin Shi would be the first to turn against him. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Perhaps the mastermind behind this assassination was not Liu Xiu or Han Yu, but Yin Shi?
Liu Kuan combined the various doubts before and after the incident, and suddenly felt that this seemingly impossible conclusion was possible in the end, but why did Yin Shi do this? Because of his deliberate flattery and flattery, he had always had a good relationship with Yin Shi, and for a moment he really didn't understand why Yin Shi did this, but now was not the time to pursue it, and today's matter had to have a good ending.
"My lord, Lord Yin is right. I have no evidence in this matter. Even if I have a clear conscience, I cannot prove my innocence. However, with the enemy at hand, it is a taboo for colleagues to be suspicious of each other. If you have any doubts, I am willing to prove my innocence." When Liu Kuan said this, there was firmness and determination in his words.
After Liu Kuan said this, everyone looked at Liu Xiu, wanting to see what decision Liu Xiu would make.
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Kuan with complicated eyes. This old man who had been by his side for so many years really surprised him more and more. He almost believed the way he acted, his open and aboveboard manner, if he had not already made plans and calculations in his mind.
"I really can't just believe your one-sided story. Tell me how you are going to prove it." Liu Xiu wanted to see what else Liu Kuan could do to surprise him.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Liu Kuan was not surprised to hear Liu Xiu ask this question. He sneered in his heart. Liu Xiu really suspected him. He didn't say anything, but he moved quickly. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed several times to Liu Xiu. While everyone was confused and puzzled, he drew the sword from his waist.
"Liu Kuan, what are you going to do?!" Everyone was shocked when they saw Liu Kuan's actions.
Han Yu was the first to react. He immediately drew his sword from his waist and stood in front of Liu Xiu in a protective posture.
