A resolute glint flashed in Deserek's eyes; the promises made by Soetu made him believe that it was time to fight for his family.
Nowadays, those who occupy the top-tier families, their status is determined by their ancestors, so why can't they?
"Deserek, I should have treated you well." Deserek was originally the legitimate son, but because his father favored his concubine, he was forced to enter the army.
The illegitimate son actually occupied Deseleke's position. Kangxi's appearance gave Deseleke the means to return to the mansion. Not only did his mother gain a foothold in the mansion and come out of the cold courtyard, but it also made his status in the family rise step by step. All of this was brought about by Kangxi. Who would have thought that this person would not take Kangxi's kindness to heart at all.
Deserek recalled the days when his mother had been looking for him ever since she passed away two years ago.
In fact, Fei Yanggu had already discovered that Deselek had problems and wanted to give this ruthless general one last chance. Deselek's expression changed frequently, but Kangxi and Fei Yanggu did not urge him at all, feeling that he should think carefully about how to decide.
Kangxi's words made Deseleke hesitate. The spies sent by Suo'etu were worried that it would shake the morale of the army, and they quickly tried to speak up to stop him. However, E'shuo stepped forward and covered the man's mouth, giving Deseleke a quiet environment to think.
Qingyan watched as the Imperial Guards drew their swords and faced outwards, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
“Deserek, when your mother passed away, you followed me on the expedition against Galdan. At that time, you were a valiant general, and I could trust you. Now, I will still give you the same trust.” Kangxi believed that Deserek would be misled by Suo'etu because he was too young.
When his mother was still alive, there was an elderly man suppressing the rebellion, and Songgotu's tricks failed. After his mother passed away, Songgotu did not stop molesting her.
"Your Majesty, this servant knows his mistake!" In Deseleke's heart, his mother held a very high position. He was like a drug, being led by Soetu. Fortunately, he did not do anything to harm His Majesty, otherwise, he would not have had a chance to turn back.
"Get up, I will not blame you. After returning to the capital, you will report to the new army and train under Saito for two years. I will reserve the position of deputy commander for you!" Deselek is a very good person.
Deserek pulled back from the brink, and many of his followers laid down their weapons and knelt down to beg forgiveness from Kangxi. However, Suo'etu had long suspected that Deserek might turn against him, and had secretly sent out many spies to hide.
Seeing Deselek's betrayal, one of them quietly took out a hidden dart, aimed it at Deselek's back, and prepared to fire. Qingyan saw this and without saying a word, pulled out his sidearm from his boot and shot the latter directly, killing him instantly.
As the gunshot rang out, Yin couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Qingyan was known for her coquettishness, but he never expected her marksmanship to be so accurate.
At this moment, Deselek stiffened. He had been helping Soetu all along, but in the end, he was not only a pawn to be abandoned, but he almost lost his life. If he died, who would take care of his wife and children?
etc!
With his wife and children still in the capital, and things going wrong here, how will they survive?
"Look behind you!" Yin noticed Deserek's hesitation and pointed directly behind him.
Deselec turned his head and saw his wife and three sons standing outside, protected by the Imperial Guard.
When Yinzhi went to Beijing, Emperor Kangxi specifically instructed him to bring Deseleke's wife and children with him no matter what. He even wrote a handwritten edict to allow the family to be reunited.
"Your Majesty..." Deselek felt a weight lifted from his heart. "This servant is guilty!"
Deseleke's wife was a lady from a prominent family. She was betrothed by the Emperor and was a concubine's daughter from a collateral branch of the Aisin Gioro clan. The two had a very good relationship.
"For the next two years, you will not be able to go home for a vacation. Go to Jiangnan and spend more time with your family!" Kangxi was not unreasonable. If his servants wanted to be loyal, they had to be given a stable home front.
"..." Deselek lowered his sword and left with his wife and children.
Inside the imperial tent, the three members of the Feiyanggu family, including father and son, Deserek, realized that Suo'etu's preparations were doomed to fail.
Deselek's departure eased the anxiety of his followers, who felt they should be able to save their lives.
"Eshuo, let go." Kangxi squinted at the person whose mouth was covered. This person was a son of a concubine of the Hesheli clan. All these people from the collateral branches were under the control of Suo'etu.
Qingyan looked at the man being held by Eshuo. He was about forty years old, with a thick beard and a sinister look in his eyes that was impossible to ignore.
"This man is a collateral branch of the Hesheli clan, named Yindehe," Yin instructed Qingyan. Originally, they planned to get rid of him quietly, but after setting the trap for Deseleke, they decided to let him live a little longer.
“I’ve seen this person before!” Qingyan’s clear voice made Kangxi and Feiyanggu frown.
The two of them turned to look at Qingyan. In the capital, Qingyan had been followed several times. Could it be... that it was someone from the Hesheli clan?
"When?" Consort Tong was worried. The person who was following Xiao Guai had not yet been caught, which made Consort Tong very angry.
Qingyan closed her eyes and recalled that this person had appeared several times, and it was because of the great man's mole on his chin that she remembered him so well.
"There should have been two or three times, if I remember correctly, this person always appeared in Liulichang." Qingyan's words stunned both Kangxi and Fei Yanggu.
Liulichang is a place where people mingle, and information flows very well.
