"There were two groups. The first group that tried to ambush us didn't succeed, but it was also obvious that they were indeed from Shijin Country, but they were pretending to be from Dongfang Ge.
"Chang'an said, "But the second person who appeared was Dongfang Ge himself. He also admitted that he did not send anyone else to intercept us. This time his purpose was to get the Qilin Military Talisman."
Bei Ming Ye and General Gu stopped talking. Inadvertently, they looked at each other, and the fleeting glance fell clearly into Bei Ming Xuan's eyes.
The moment Bei Mingxuan lowered his head, Chang'an's voice reached Bei Mingxuan's ears, "I want to be alone with Bei Mingye."
Bei Mingxuan didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear it, but Chang'an was sure that he must have heard it.
However, Chang'an knew very well that if he was unwilling, then she would need to find another way.
"Old General, father-in-law." Bei Mingxuan spoke slowly, "There is something I can't figure out, and I need you to help me understand it."
"Well, Your Highness, please speak." General Gu was very serious.
Bei Mingxuan smiled but didn't speak immediately. After a while, he looked at Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, this is the first time that Fourth Brother has come to our house. Please accompany Fourth Brother for a walk."
This is very clear and everyone can understand it.
Bei Mingxuan wanted to talk to the old general, but what he said was not suitable for Bei Ming Ye to hear.
But Gu Qingfeng was a little surprised. He never thought that Bei Mingxuan didn't know that Chang'an had once had intentions towards Bei Mingye.
He looked at his daughter and suddenly thought that, after all, the wedding of Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an was something that Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan had already discussed. There was no real friendship between the two of them and they were just a pair of partners.
Bei Mingye smiled and looked at Changan, "Thank you very much."
"Okay." Chang'an.
In the hall, after Bei Mingxuan watched Chang An and Bei Ming Ye leave his sight, he ordered, "No one is allowed to approach the front hall."
"Yes, Your Highness." Fu Cheng stood at the door.
At this moment, Bei Mingxuan's gaze fell on General Gu's face. "This matter has been lingering in my mind. When I discussed it with Chang'an that day, Chang'an said that if I have anything to say, it would be better to talk to the old general and my father-in-law. After all, they are our blood relatives."
The old general glanced at his son Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
"Prince Xuan, please speak." General Gu said, "It would be an honor for this old minister to be able to help you solve your doubts."
"These empty words can be said in front of the emperor. This king does not care about them." Bei Mingxuan looked directly into the old general's eyes and slowly said, "According to the information I have received, the reason why Dongfang Ge was able to accurately grasp my route was because someone leaked my information to Dongfang Ge."
“…” General Gu was shocked and his face changed.
Gu Qingfeng just frowned slightly, but there was no change on his face.
"Old General, do you know who it is?" Bei Mingxuan spoke slowly, as if he was bored.
He kept tapping the table, consciously guiding him, "Why do you think he wanted to inform Dongfang Ge?"
"Why did you inform Dongfang Ge?" The old general had long understood Bei Mingxuan's intention. He was trying to trick him. "How could this old minister know?"
"It seems that old General Jing is really old." Bei Mingxuan had no intention of getting anything out of this old fox with just a few words. Besides, the change on General Gu's face just at that moment had already betrayed him.
"That person revealed my whereabouts because he wanted the Qilin Military Talisman. Isn't it said throughout the world that whoever possesses the Qilin possesses the world? Such a simple truth, did the old general fail to consider it, or is he too confused to think about it?"
"..." General Gu's heart tightened. As expected, he was panicking. "This old minister does not understand what Your Highness means. If the news leaked out, wouldn't it be because someone accompanying Your Highness leaked the news?"
Bei Mingxuan was in no hurry to say anything, with a smile on his lips. When the old general seemed to lose his temper, he finally spoke, "It's General Gu."
This is the answer in General Gu’s mind, and it is also the reason why he is certain that Bei Mingxuan wants to keep him to talk. What does he want to confirm?
Especially when thinking about the fact that the emperor had just talked with Bei Mingxuan for such a long time, I wonder if Bei Mingxuan would tell the emperor about this suspicion.
Thinking of this, the old general's body actually trembled a little.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his father, feeling somewhat reluctant. "Dad, Prince Xuan is just asking what you think about this matter. Don't overthink it."
After Gu Qingfeng's reminder, General Gu regained some common sense. He looked at Bei Mingxuan and said, "This old minister still doesn't understand. But Your Highness, where did you get this information?"
"No need to bother with that, General." Bei Mingxuan asked, "How credible do you think this is?"
"There is not the slightest credibility!" The old general said with certainty. Even though he knew that what Bei Mingxuan said was true, he would never admit it even if he died.
"Why?" Bei Mingxuan looked easy to talk to.
"Because he is my son, Gu Xiong, and the general of Shuzhou, he definitely has no connection with Dongfang Ge of Shijin." General Gu's words made sense. "Prince Xuan, the information you received is wrong."
"Because Gu Qingyun is your son and the great general of Shuzhou, he definitely wouldn't have any connection with Dongfang Ge?" Bei Mingxuan repeated the old general's words, slowly as if to confirm, "But...back then, General Gu Qingfeng was also your son, Gu Xiong, and the great general of Shuzhou. However, he was accused by our father of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, even though there was no solid evidence at the time.
However, the old general acquiesced.
Now, I have solid evidence to prove that General Gu Qingyun secretly contacted Dongfang Ge to murder me and the Southern Kingdom's Crown Prince, Princess Yongping, and to steal the Qilin Military Talisman bestowed upon Princess Yongping by the Southern Emperor."
Yes, General Gu suddenly realized that this matter involved more than one country, including the Southern Kingdom, the Shijin Kingdom, and the Shuzhou Kingdom. If it was really exposed, the Gu family would have no place to stand.
"Actually, I just can't figure it out." Bei Mingxuan picked up the tea and took a sip slowly. "General Gu, tell me, was General Qingyun contacting Dongfang Ge at the behest of the Crown Prince, Bei Mingye, or the Crown Prince?"
"No one." The old general said quickly and affirmatively.
But after he finished speaking, he immediately felt something was wrong, especially when he saw Bei Mingxuan looking at him with a smile on his face.
Sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. "What I mean is, I don't know. It must have been done by Bu Qingyun, so it has nothing to do with the three princes that the prince mentioned.
Besides, everyone knows that whoever obtains the Qilin military talisman will rule the world.
If it really is any of the three princes, it is unreasonable. There is no prince who does not aspire to the throne."
