Chapter 830 The Traitor
Xiao Chenglin narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It seems you've run out of other options and are resorting to such despicable slander? Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Xiao Chengqi chuckled, "They naturally won't believe what I say, but what if... it's what Ogiwara said?"
Xiao Chenglin's heart sank!
"What did you do to him!?"
The rebels also became agitated, and many looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What did he just say? Did he mention Lord Di?"
"I heard that too!"
"Impossible! His Highness the Crown Prince was saved by Lord Di's protection! That dog emperor was just trying to deceive us!"
Discussions arose.
Xiao Chenglin stared intently ahead and shouted sharply, "Arrest him!?"
Xiao Chengqi scoffed, "How can you say you captured him? To be precise, you rescued him. If the Black Cavalry hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have been killed by your men back in Fengdu."
Xiao Chenglin's heart felt like it was being suddenly clenched!
One of the soldiers beside him shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! How could His Highness the Crown Prince treat Lord Di like this? You can't beat him, so you're just making baseless accusations!"
"Since none of you believe him, why don't we ask him to come out and explain himself?"
As Xiao Chengqi spoke, he slightly turned his head to look.
Ye Chutang pushed Ogihara, who was sitting in a wheelchair, over.
Ogiwara was pale and haggard, and had lost a lot of weight, looking as if he had suffered a great torment.
But that face was definitely his!
A strange, deathly silence fell over everyone; the air seemed to freeze.
A flash of deep resentment crossed Xiao Chenglin's eyes!
Ye Chutang pushed Diyuan behind Xiao Chengqi. The cold wind was so strong that it could almost cut the skin.
She asked in a low voice, "Uncle Di, is your body still able to hold on?"
Ogiwara nodded slightly.
He slowly looked at Xiao Chenglin.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, we meet again."
Xiao Chenglin's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.
Ogiwara, however, did not seem surprised by his reaction and simply smiled faintly.
"It seems that His Highness Prince Jing still harbors deep resentment towards me..."
His voice was weak, and he coughed after saying only a few words.
However, everyone heard every word he said clearly.
Ogiwara!
A renowned general of the Great Zhou Dynasty! One of the founding members who escorted the Crown Prince to safety and participated in the grand plan to restore the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Now, they actually call him "Your Highness Prince Jing"!
Xiao Chenglin stared intently at him and said coldly, "It seems that Lord Di has already surrendered?"
Ogiwara shook his head with a bitter smile, "Your Highness Prince Jing knows I won't live much longer, so why throw mud at a dying man like me?"
Clang—!
Xiao Chenglin suddenly drew his sword! Pointing it at Ogihara!
"A traitor, no need to show any mercy! You really think I don't know? You! You've been in cahoots with Shen Yanchuan and the others for a long time! I was willing to forgive you for your service, as long as you stayed in Fengdu, I could pretend those things never happened! I didn't expect you to arrive in the capital first? You still dare to say that!? Do you have any respect for the Great Zhou, for all the soldiers who risked their lives to fight here!?"
He looked angry, his voice demanding justice, as if he was determined to seek it.
A clear and calm female voice suddenly rang out.
"When the Black Cavalry arrived in Fengdu, Uncle Di had already been tortured by the trusted men you had specially left behind, leaving him with no good spots all over his body."
Ye Chutang said calmly,
"Xiao Chenglin, haven't you felt it wasn't enough that you tortured him for seven years in the Ministry of Justice's death row?"
