During the past few days after returning to Beijing, Song De felt terribly aggrieved.
I suffered so much in Liangzhou, and even lost one eye trying to suppress the bandits.
However, because he failed to perform meritorious service, he could only watch Song Huan being named a prince.
Song De was puzzled. He was a weakling who had never even been on the battlefield. He just trained a few soldiers who knew how to use crossbows!
Why should he get the title of Prince Rong?
Song De is not convinced!
Originally, the occurrence of such a thing was enough to make Song De depressed.
However, when he thought that at the tribute ceremony tomorrow, Emperor Liang would release the prince Song Yu again after being imprisoned for more than a month, Song De felt even more upset!
Why, after going around in such a big circle, the other people are still unscathed!
Song Huan was even named Prince Rong!
And he lost an eye?
The more Song De thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became!
It just so happened that recently, Xu Rong was addicted to some kind of elixir, and he was nowhere to be seen all day long.
Song De happened to be hiding in the general's mansion far away from the palace, drinking to soothe his sorrows.
Song De was happy, but Li Pingan was complaining in his heart!
In recent days, the demand for generals has become increasingly strong.
I have to spend a lot of energy just looking for beautiful women and elixirs for the general!
After finally falling into the night, he had to face the second prince, a drunkard who could lose his temper and get into trouble anytime and anywhere.
Li Ping'an gets upset just thinking about it!
He was immersed in cleaning up the mess, but unexpectedly turned around and saw a very familiar figure.
"Su Yuru?"
"Who asked you to come back?"
Li Ping'an's face darkened, and he immediately walked forward quickly, grabbed Su Yuru's slender arm, and dragged her outside the woodshed.
"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to come back without my order!"
"You'd better tell me that you have completed the task I assigned and killed Prince Rong."
"Otherwise, I will never let you off lightly!"
"I do what I say!"
Li Ping'an had suffered so much from being a coward in front of Song De, and now facing the skinny Su Yuru, he could finally vent his frustrations.
Su Yuru was already afraid of Li Pingan, but when faced with Li Pingan's harsh words, she was so frightened that she could not speak!
"plum……"
"plum……"
"Vice General Li..."
"Snapped!"
Li Ping'an's eyes flashed fiercely, he rounded his arms and slapped Su Yuru hard on her fair and tender face.
"Fuck, if I ask you a question, will you answer it?"
"talk!"
"Is Prince Rong really dead?"
Su Yuru's cheeks were instantly red and swollen, and several fingerprints appeared.
A sweet and fishy smell poured into her throat. Su Yuru opened her mouth and spit out two teeth!
However, the pain on his face was nothing compared to the unspeakable fear in his heart.
Afraid that Li Ping'an would attack him again, Su Yuru hurriedly opened her mouth and said: "Vice General Li, please listen to my explanation first!"
"Although I failed to kill Prince Rong this time, I did find out a shocking secret!"
Li Ping'an narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "What's the shocking secret?"
Su Yuru knelt at Li Pingan's feet and said respectfully: "Last night, I overheard the conversation between Prince Rong and General Cheng."
"General Cheng said that when he was in Liangzhou, he noticed something was wrong with the deputy general named Wu next to His Highness the Second Prince."
"So he secretly stared at this deputy general for a long time!"
"Finally, he discovered that this deputy general had secretly contacted Bianjing behind everyone's back..."
"The second prince's deputy..." Li Ping'an murmured to himself, "I remember that this person's name is Wu Yue, and he came from Beida Camp."
"He is a subordinate of the general. How could something be wrong?"
Su Yuru shook her head: "I don't know who this person is!"
"In short, according to General Cheng, this Wu Yue is a spy placed by the Grand Master next to His Highness the Second Prince."
"The reason is to take advantage of the opportunity of the Second Prince to go to the battlefield to kill the Second Prince without his knowledge!"
"This Wu Yue is the person arranged by the Grand Master to do this."
"But God bless you, His Highness the Second Prince is blessed with good fortune. He only suffered some injuries and his life was not threatened..."
Su Yuru's words made Li Ping'an fall into deep thought.
"Indeed, after the second prince was injured, I felt a little weird!"
"It stands to reason that when the second prince was in Liangzhou, he did not fight many horse bandits, only a few times!"
"As the coach, the second prince is unlikely to let the horse bandits get close easily."
"How could he be so seriously injured..."
With that said, Li Pingan turned to Su Yuru.
"Did you listen carefully to these words?"
"Make sure this is true?"
Su Yuru nodded quickly and said: "I dare not talk nonsense and make it up in private!"
"Besides, I am a woman who has never been in contact with His Highness the Second Prince. How could I know that His Highness the Second Prince's lieutenant's surname is Wu?"
Li Pingan was thoughtful: "Just think about it..."
"However, there is no basis for what you say!"
"Even if we confront Shangguan Yi, there is no evidence!"
"In the last battle to suppress the bandits, Wu Yue died on the battlefield and never came back."
"Now there is no evidence to prove it!"
"So even if you hear this, it doesn't count!"
However, what Li Ping'an didn't expect was that Su Yuru actually smiled slightly.
"Vice General Li, you underestimate me."
"This slave has never read a book, but she still knows the truth behind what you say!"
"If there was no evidence, would this servant take such a big risk and run back from Prince Rong's residence privately?"
"Oh?" Li Ping'an looked at Su Yuru's face with interest, "What evidence do you have, bring it to see!"
Su Yuru lowered her head respectfully: "To be honest with Lieutenant General Li, my servant has secretly brought Wu Yue back."
"Now, the person is on the carriage outside the mansion."
"If Vice General Li doesn't believe it, you can send someone to take a look!"
Li Ping'an became anxious on the spot: "You left such an important witness outside the house!"
"You are so brave!"
"Here comes someone..."
There was a moment of commotion in the General's Mansion, and soon, a man in ragged clothes, blindfolded and tied up was brought to Li Ping'an.
The moment the mask was taken off, Li Pingan's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Wu Yue!"
"It's indeed you!"
"Didn't you die in Liangzhou in the battle?"
"Could it be..."
"You are really a master of Shangguan Yi!"
Wu Yue had been blindfolded for several days, but now he suddenly saw the light of day again, and his eyes were still a little uncomfortable.
He covered his eyes in pain, fell to his knees helplessly, and kowtowed in panic towards Li Ping'an opposite.
"My lord! My lord, please spare my life!"
"Shangguanyi ordered me to do this!"
"The villain pleads guilty! The villain pleads guilty!"
