It turns out that the attack on the Su family's horse farm was indeed related to the Yanbei Palace.
But wasn't the Yanbei Palace's actions too swift? She had just mentioned to Xiao Jingxi a few days ago that the Su family might be involved with the Wu family and the Tanguts. And now, neither the Lei family nor the Han family could compete with the Su family. Was it a good idea to tear each other apart now?
As if he understood what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, Xiao Jingxi said, "I didn't order anyone to do this."
Since it wasn't Xiao Jingxi who did it, then it had to be the Prince of Yanbei? If that was the case, the Prince of Yanbei's Palace might have noticed the Su family's unusual movements before and wanted to take this opportunity to warn them.
Xiao Jinglin interjected, "I guess it was done by General Min's deputy general named Yang Peng?"
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? That's how you guessed it?"
Speaking of military matters, Xiao Jinglin showed no fear at all. He curled his lips and said, "The generals under my father's command, with the exception of Min Wenqing and Xia Baichuan, are mostly those left by my grandfather. Those old generals would not lower themselves to do such a thing. Xia Baichuan was called back by you earlier and is still in Yanzhou. It can't be him. And Min Wenqing, who calls himself a Confucian general, usually has to cut a roast lamb leg with a knife and put it on the plate before he will eat it. He also drinks like a sissy and is not straightforward."
Xiao Jingxi laughed: "Then you still guessed it was Min Wenqing? He would do such a lowly job as a robber?"
Xiao Jinglin slowly glanced at Xiao Jingxi with his eyelids. "I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't be fooled by Min Wenqing's usual appearance of being a saint. In fact, he is just a sesame bun with a shiny appearance and a black heart. He is completely black inside! He wants face and he also wants benefits. So he won't do this himself, but will send his deputy general Yang Peng. Oh, right... Min Wenqing told my master last time that he wants to emulate Jing Ke in this life and die for his confidant. Do you know who his confidant is?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked curiously: "Who is it?"
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi with ulterior motives, his expression very suggestive.
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi suppressed her laughter, knowing that the two were engaging in some brother-sister taunting again. To avoid being implicated, she wisely kept quiet.
"Speaking of Yang Peng, his life is really not very good." Princess Xiao shook her head and continued.
"If you ask the people in the Yanbei Army who is the most cold-blooded, heartless, scoundrel, and shameless person, eight out of ten will tell you it's Yang Peng. But what's Yang Peng's fault? His only mistake was joining Min Wenqing's army. His general is supposed to be a humble gentleman, so he has to do the things that the despicable villain does."
It's rare for Xiao Jinglin to say so much, and all of them are hurtful.
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Has General Min ever offended you?"
"No." Xiao Jinglin denied it flatly. He glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said slowly, "But I can't stand people who are so evil yet like to pretend to be saints, so I scold them every time I see them."
Facts have proven that Princess Xiao is not a softie who will be bullied. If she is displeased, she will fight back, and not only will she fight back, she will also use indirect criticism.
