In front of everyone, these words were equivalent to putting Zheng Quchi on the shelf to bake, especially now that she was standing on the land protected by Yu Wensheng, surrounded by all the soldiers of the Ye Kingdom.
Burning down camps is what he is used to doing, as well as destroying military defense lines at border gates... In this way, the reason why the nomadic barbarians were able to reach Guixan Ridge unscathed was because of the "demon wind" that the Julu Kingdom raided. .
And all of this has to do with her...
Wei Yao, who had just rescued her, let go of his hand and let her stand alone. He looked at her silently, and it was unclear whether the dimness in his eyes was disappointment or self-deprecating indifference.
After Gong Shulan, who was staying with Wang Zebang, was rescued in a thrilling way, he was also surprised when he saw Mo Ye and his team of giant deer throwing rocks and attacking from a distance appearing in ambush on the high mountains.
She lowered her eyes and pondered, wondering what happened. Why was it that the one coming from the Julu Kingdom was not an ordinary border soldier, but the difficult and cunning Sima Moye?
She secretly weighed the seriousness of the situation. Will her fueling the situation in the dark lead to Yu Wensheng losing Fu County and defeating Guixuanling?
When she thought of this consequence, her expression turned pale.
With his fingertips curled into his palms, Gong Shulan tried to stabilize his panic and sinking emotions.
No, he is Yu Wensheng. He must have a way to get out of the siege. There is no way he will lose to Mo Ye.
They would all make it out safe and sound.
However, after listening to Mo Ye's words, he should give up on Sang Xuanqing completely. Even if she does have some talents, one disloyalty will not be tolerated a hundred times. This is what Yu Wensheng wants to employ. The principle is.
However, from the time Mo Ye led his team to the surprise attack, he was too mysterious and unpredictable under the mask, and she couldn't understand his thoughts at all.
So, she pointed all her fingers at Sang Xuanqing: "It's you! You have always been pretending to surrender to the general, but in fact you are a spy from the Julu Kingdom. No wonder your eyes didn't even blink when you betrayed the Mo family. Just now you kept delaying Time defends itself, and it turns out that it is just waiting for this moment to arrive.”
She also didn't expect that Sang Xuanqing really had personal contact with Mo Ye from Julu Kingdom, so what she did couldn't be considered a frame-up at all, it could only be called deserved punishment.
Zheng Quchi was criticized by thousands of people because of Mo Ye's words, but he could not defend himself.
But she was no longer panicked or confused at the beginning.
As the saying goes, "If you have too much debt, you won't have to worry about it." Perhaps it was because of the chill all over her body caused by excessive blood loss that even her voice and eyes were frozen.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I just lost a letter, and you got another one over there."
She felt that everything seemed to have gotten out of control starting from the letter that Uncle Tuomu handed to Wei Yao.
Zheng Quchi looked towards Moye in the distance and stretched out a hand full of bloodstains: "What about the letter? Can you appreciate it together with me?"
Why did he need to use sarcastic words like "appreciation" in the letter he wrote? Mo Ye thought about it and came up with a guess.
"You want to say that this letter was not written by you? But the handwriting on it is clearly the same as your past letters. Okay, just take a good look at it in front of Yu Wensheng."
After Mo Ye's eyes passed over her pale face and injured body, he used his strength to throw the envelope out.
Zheng Quchi had excellent dynamic vision. She stared at it and reached out to grab it.
She took out the letter and opened it in front of everyone.
The content of the letter shocked her.
It was clearly a similar tone that she wrote to Wei Yao, but the object was changed, but the handwriting was exactly the same as hers.
But she was sure it wasn't hers.
She knows that there is a type of people in this world who are good at imitating other people's handwriting, and can even do it very accurately.
This is definitely a forgery.
She thought that the military defense map that Gong Shulan presented before was also made by forging the drawings that she had spread out.
Zheng Quchi suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Uncle Mu said at the beginning that he gave the letter to Feng Qing for delivery, but Feng Qing obviously did not give the letter to Wei Yao. Why?
Because the letter... was taken away. According to Gong Shulan's words, Feng Qing was very close to her in those days, and the matter of the letter was lost strangely. So is there a possibility... All of this is Gong Shulan's fault? The thief shouts to catch the thief.
But why? What does she have that deserves the other party to go to such trouble to deal with her?
She couldn't guess, but the look in the other person's eyes that wanted to kill her was true.
Holding the letter in her hand, she suddenly turned to Gong Shulan and said sternly: "You must have found someone to imitate this letter and use it to frame me!"
Gong Shulan was suddenly attacked by her, which was unexpected, because she didn't control her expression properly and showed a slightly frightened look without any mental reaction.
She didn't expect that Sang Xuanqing could be so keen and suspicious, and he could infer that he was involved in her just from the handwriting on a letter.
"What are you talking about? Why should I frame you? You yourself behaved improperly and colluded with others, but you want to frame me so that you can get away with it?" She retorted angrily with a slightly shrill voice.
"Yes, why?" Seeing that the other party was so excited, Zheng Quchi murmured: "Is it because I am a disciple of the Mohist family and you are a public loser? But your attitude towards you is different from mine. He is indifferent to life and death, but he always hates me."
"Sang Xuanqing, now Mo Ye personally said that you sent a letter to him. Even if you want to support someone, it shouldn't be me. I will come out to testify against you, but it is just following Feng Qing's last wish..."
"What is your relationship with Feng Qing? Lover, relative?" Zheng Quchi interrupted her.
Gong Shulan's face sank and he said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
At this time, Mo Ye raised his hands to watch a real-false debate below, but he was not in a hurry to have a life-or-death contest with Yu Wensheng.
It is said that this method of sending messages is indeed different from Sang Xuanqing's previous style. She has always been careful about concealment and would never send it to the border scouts without any scruples.
He thought she had figured it out and was going to drop everything to join him and work for him, but now it seems that there may be something more to this.
After Yu Wensheng's team evaded a flint attack, some of the injured were rescuing the injured, while the rest were guarding Mo Ye's team, but at the same time, the previously interrupted trial and questioning continued.
But this time, the situations of Gong Shulan and Sang Xuanqing were reversed. Seeing that Mo Ye had stopped temporarily because of Sang Xuanqing, they were also affected by this dispute and watched the confrontation quietly.
"You said that when he found the military defense map from me, he went to you to identify it as soon as possible. However, there are so many craftsmen from Ye State in the camp. Which one is not more reliable and trustworthy than you, an outsider, unless you I have a personal relationship with him and have a closer relationship than others."
Gong Shulan admired Yu Wensheng and naturally did not want to be misunderstood.
She immediately denied: "No, he and I are just friends with similar temperaments, but I am from a poor family and my knowledge is better than others. There is nothing wrong with him seeking me out."
"Even if what you said is true, it's still inappropriate. When he didn't tell anyone about the stolen military defense map, including his colleagues, and instead of reporting it to the general, he handed it over directly to you, an outsider, even if he noticed it. The situation is tense, but you are still left to slowly study the details until you are killed. Do you think this kind of thing is common sense?"
"You are making random guesses. We only met that night to discuss it, but the next day he..."
"He's dead, right?"
Gong Shulan didn't open her mouth for a moment. She didn't understand what Zheng Quchi wanted to ask, and she wanted to find out what was wrong with her answer. She was worried that she would answer the question wrongly.
Zheng Quchi can be sure of one thing.
"Gong Shulan, did you kill Feng Qing?"
Gong Shulan looked calm and said: "No."
"Muke, did you kill him?"
"no."
At this time, Gong Shulan completely lost her previous calm attitude. She didn't realize that she was being led by Zheng Quchi.
Because of her guilty conscience, and because as a person who secretly planned everything, once she was questioned, she would involuntarily defend herself and get rid of suspicion.
But she didn't think that if she were a normal person, would she answer a question that had nothing to do with her so clearly?
No, she would just feel that the other party was not qualified to question her in such a tone, so she put on a gentle smile and smiled without answering, only waiting for the other party to become extremely angry and ugly.
"Uncle Mu once told me that he said that the letter I asked him to give to Wei Yao was given to Feng Qing, but Feng Qing did not deliver the letter, so he died and my letter disappeared, but now another In a letter, someone imitated the words in my letter, changed it and sent it to the border country of Julu. Feng Qing, the key person who lost the letter, was the most involved. He also came up with a fake military defense plan and forced it to You are the only one who wants to convict me. If it has nothing to do with you, who does it have to do with?"
Zheng Quchi's throat was already a little injured. After this long speech, he felt that his mouth was filled with the taste of rust and his voice was hoarse.
Gongshu Lan didn't elaborate on what was wrong with this sentence, but just denied it flatly: "So, is it all I did? Sang Xuanqing, you are just blaming others, I can't restrain the chicken with my hands." How can a weak woman with no strength kill someone?"
"There are many ways to kill people. Honey trap is one, and killing with a borrowed knife is another."
Gong Shulan was agitated by Zheng Quchi's aggressive questioning. She finally remembered that there was no need for her to pester him endlessly. As long as Yu Wensheng didn't believe her, nothing she could say would be of any use.
"General, I have no grudges with Sang Xuanqing. There is no need for me to do this. Besides, it is an ironclad fact that she betrayed the Ye Kingdom and you, General. Her identity is changeable. She can be a disciple of the Mohist family at one moment, and a member of the Julu Kingdom at the other. He works carefully, but he is not the law-abiding mulberry worker from Ye Guofu County."
Gong Shulan is very good at provoking conflicts.
Anyone who knows Yu Wensheng knows that he only keeps people he absolutely trusts. Even though Zheng Quchi had previously exonerated himself from various suspicions and charges with his "wonderful writings", she had only betrayed the information about Yu Wensheng to Julu. Guo Moye was enough to sentence her to "death".
Yu Wensheng finally spoke.
"Sang Xuanqing, you once said that you were coerced by people from the Julu Kingdom to do things. Is that person Mo Ye? And you and Mo Ye have been secretly communicating with each other through private messages?"
If not, why would Moye believe that this letter was written by her, unless he was already familiar with its handwriting.
Even if Mo Ye leaves and comes back, and the squad regroups and tries to seize the city again, he can always guard his mind and wait for it.
But he didn't expect that what made him depressed was that Sang Xuanqing kept telling lies and concealing things again and again.
When Zheng Quchi faced Gong Shulan, she could still be domineering, but once Yu Wensheng came to ask in person, she felt that the blood in her body was flowing backwards and the hairs on her body stood on end.
She couldn't deny that she had never learned how to write with a brush in modern times, but after time travel, thanks to the body's instinct, she was able to write naturally once she held the brush, but the handwriting was a little ugly and unique.
And she has seen some of the calligraphy works of "Sang Xuanqing", and it is the same. Perhaps because they share the same body, some small habits have also been inherited.
"I said no, do you believe it?"
Yu Wensheng tilted his head and smiled without any grudge: "I believe it."
Strange, Zheng Quchi silently added a sentence for him.
Seeing that the scene was about to end, Mo Ye had seen enough of the show and said, "Your identity as a Mo family has been completely exposed. If I don't come, you will have no choice but to die in the hands of Yu Wensheng. How pitiful. It seems you won’t be able to stay in the Mo family anymore, only I can take you in.”
"Take me in? I think you want me to die in Yu Wensheng's hands." Zheng Quchi hesitated.
Mo Ye pretended to be sensational and said: "Sang Xuanqing, in the mountains of Hegou Village, you helped me get rid of the chasing soldiers, have you forgotten? But I can't forget it. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have been killed long ago. You died at the hands of those pursuers, so naturally I won’t watch you die this time.”
Sang Xuanqing, I heard that she has been helping Yu Wen Sheng build the city wall these days, with great efforts and great results. Now he wants to see whether the two are using each other, or whether Yu Wen Sheng has really conquered her. .
Yu Wensheng burst out laughing suddenly, chewing every word carefully: "Sang Xuanqing, it seems that I have underestimated you all this time. You are not only a rare talent placed by the Mo family around me, but also a giant deer. The country's commanders have traveled thousands of miles to come to the rescue. Please be my guest."
The look he looked at her was completely inhuman.
She deserved to die unjustly, but she really couldn't wash away the black stain "Sang Xuanqing" had in the past.
"That's not all!"
At this time, dozens of iron ropes flew out of the sky and shot into the stone wall. The soldiers belonging to the Julu Kingdom slid into the quarry one by one with guide rope chains. The soldiers of the Ye Kingdom who were already on alert set up their formation. , responded quickly and stepped forward to respond to the enemy.
"Sang Xuanqing, come here!"
Moye also climbed down the ropeway, and he called her.
Yu Wensheng glanced at her coolly: "How dare you."
"come over!"
When Zheng Quchi saw that the melee was about to begin, she turned around, but did not choose either of them. Instead, she pulled out the dagger she had seized from Manzi, rushed to Gong Shulan, raised her hand and stabbed the knife into her shoulder.
He suppressed the person to the ground and said viciously: "I ask you to answer, if you dare to tell a lie, I will wipe your neck!"
