A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1522 Accomplices, the upper and lower parts are connected
The Beiling army is about to arrive. Feng Qingchen has no time to be sad or blame herself at this moment. She must shoulder her responsibilities as the legitimate daughter of Fengli and the king of Fengli, protect the Fengli people and avoid the suppression by Beiling.
Feng Qingchen wiped away her tears and applied ice water to her eyes. After the redness and swelling in her eyes subsided, she put on a fiery red fox fur coat, smiled sweetly at the Ninth Prince, told him that she was fine, and walked out with her head held high.
In front of others, she was the proud and noble daughter of Fengli, and her fragility and sadness seemed to have never appeared on her.
"Miss, Beiling's army is about to attack us. What should we do? Will we die?" As soon as Feng Qingchen went out, she was surrounded by people from the Fengli clan. They had unconcealable worry on their faces.
It’s not that they don’t believe Feng Qingchen, but a hundred thousand troops is not a small number. If they kick them one by one, they can be crushed into meat paste.
The opponent is really too strong.
"There are still two hours left, what are you afraid of?" Feng Qingchen glanced at him: "Don't even mention that they haven't come to kill us yet. Even if they did, what can you change by panicking?"
“I, I…” The person asking the question lowered his head, and the person next to him immediately stepped forward to explain: “Miss, he is just too worried. Please don’t be angry.”
"Worried? He's not the only one who's worried here. Even the elderly, women and children are not as anxious as he is." Feng Qingchen sneered and walked past the man with an unconcealable coldness between his brows. Seeing this, others dared not move forward.
Inside the room, six elders were sitting there. When they saw Feng Qingchen, they quickly stood up.
Feng Qingchen looked at the seat that originally belonged to the Second Elder and it became vacant. His eyes felt sore, but he quickly adjusted his mood and sat down directly in the main seat.
"Miss, the Beiling vanguard troops are attacking, we..." The elder stood up, but was interrupted by Feng Qingchen halfway through his words: "This is not urgent, elder, have you done what I asked you to do?"
"Miss, the most urgent thing is to arrange for the evacuation of our clan members to deal with the Beiling army." A hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of the great elder, with a hint of request in his voice.
"Heh..." Feng Qingchen sneered: "Great Elder, are you sure that if we don't clear them out, is there any point in our evacuation? Aren't you worried that if we evacuate this time, we will be found by the Beiling army again tomorrow?"
Feng Qingchen's voice was quite loud and the people outside also heard it. No one was stupid. The meaning of Feng Qingchen's words was so obvious, how could they not understand it.
"Miss, are you saying that there is a spy in the clan?" someone asked carefully.
"This is inevitable. If there were no spies, how could the Beiling army find us? We have lived here for decades without any problems."
"Damn it, people like this must be caught, otherwise we will never have peace in the future. That spy is really disgusting. He brought the Beiling army here at this time, not only to destroy our entire clan, but also to throw dirty water on the young lady."
The voices of the people outside the room were quite loud. At least several elders in the room heard it. The eldest elder was sweating profusely and pleading in his eyes: "Miss, can't you give them a chance? They have already reformed."
"Reform yourself? If you have reformed yourself, then what is the matter with the Beiling army's invasion?" Feng Qingchen asked back.
She knew that the invasion of the Beiling army had nothing to do with the Fengli people, but what did it matter? She needed a reason to take action, and this reason was a good one.
"This, this..." The Great Elder was speechless.
"Great Elder, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your clan members. These are thousands of lives at stake! You can't sacrifice the lives of the entire clan for a few individuals. If you do this, you will be worthy of our ancestors."
Although the Great Elder does not have much power, he is the most prestigious in the Fengli Clan. After Feng Qingchen said this, if the Great Elder cannot explain clearly, his status in the clan will plummet in the future.
It must be said that the Second Elder had good intentions. He used his own life to help Feng Qingchen get rid of the cancer in the clan, and at the same time, he sidelined these elders, allowing Feng Qingchen to have absolute authority in the clan and no longer have to suffer the anger of the elders.
"Miss, I, I..." The Great Elder was speechless, his face full of tears.
Feng Qingchen took a deep breath, a trace of reluctance appeared on his face: "Someone, help the Great Elder sit down."
The people who supported the Great Elder were Feng Liyou's confidants. They ignored the Great Elder's wishes and forcefully pressed him down on the chair. After the Great Elder's struggle failed, he resigned himself to his fate and sat on the chair with a dejected look on his face.
The situation was hopeless and there was no point in him struggling.
"Great Elder, the Beiling vanguard troops are about to charge in. Are you really unwilling to hand over those people?" Feng Qingchen advised earnestly, with fatigue and sadness that could not be concealed on his face.
This was not an act, she was really tired.
The Great Elder has been forced into a corner with no way out, but he still wants to hold on. He always wants to take a gamble. Feng Qingchen doesn't know, but his son can't stand such pressure.
The Great Elder's only son, Feng Lixun, rushed out from the crowd and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Xun'er." The Great Elder shouted in fear. Feng Lixun glanced at the Great Elder with a look of deep apology and self-blame: "Father, I'm sorry."
Feng Lixun kowtowed to the elder and said, "Miss, I am the spy in the clan. My father, he wanted to conceal this matter for my sake. I was the one who betrayed the clan members. I was the one who fanned the flames and killed the War King. It was me, it was me, I did it all by myself. It has nothing to do with my father. My father only found out about this recently. Miss... please, please let my father go."
"Xun'er, Xun'er...why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid." The great elder slumped down on the chair, tears streaming down his face.
He only has this one son in his life. This son has always been taciturn. He thought it was his nature. It was not until Feng Qingchen came to the Fengli clan that he realized that his son became like this because of self-blame.
"Father, I did something wrong. This incident is like a shackle that weighs on me and makes me breathless. My conscience is tortured, and I live in pain and self-blame day and night. Now I feel relieved after saying it out." At the end, Feng Lixun showed a relieved smile.
"Miss, I am willing to die to atone for my sins." Feng Lixun solemnly kowtowed three times to Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen did not stop him. She just sat there and accepted Feng Lixun's great gift.
Feng Lixun was one of the accomplices in the murder of her father. Although he was not the mastermind, he was also an accomplice.
Because of Feng Lixun, even if the elder knew the truth later, he refused to tell it. He only had Feng Lixun as his son, how could he bear to let his son die.
If the Great Elder wants to save his son, he must cover up for those people and make sure Feng Qingchen will never find out the truth.
With the great elder standing up to stop him, it was almost impossible for Feng Qingchen to find out what happened back then. Even if he found some clues, it would be useless. Without sufficient evidence, as long as the others united and refused to let go, Feng Qingchen would be unable to do anything to them.
As time went by, this matter would be exposed sooner or later, but what the Great Elder and others did not expect was that the Beiling army suddenly attacked, and the Second Elder committed suicide at this time.
The matter was completely out of the control of the Great Elder and others, and it was also presented to the tribe members...
