"Your Highness, there is another fish that slipped through the net here!!"
Wei Zhuang picked up the general guarding the gate and threw it on the ground.
The general guarding the gate was already panicking.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, please spare your life!"
"I didn't do anything to you!"
Ying Qin looked at the general with interest: "Next, I will ask you to answer. If you answer correctly, you will not have to die."
The gatekeeper general nodded wildly.
Ying Qin asked: "What did you see today?"
The gatekeeper general replied: "I didn't see anything. I don't know what happened here..."
Ying Qin frowned: "I am very dissatisfied with your answer, but I can give you a hint."
"Chen Zhibao is a spy sent by the Liyang royal family."
The guard general's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, Chen Zhibao is the spy sent by Liyang. He is here to destroy the alliance between Beiliang and Daqin. He wants to kill the Fourth Highness regardless of life or death."
Ying Qin showed a teachable smile: "You, follow us to the Beiliang Prince's Mansion. After all, you are a witness."
Ying Qin didn't intend to just let it go.
He wanted Beiliang to give him an explanation.
As the fourth prince of the Qin Dynasty, he came to Beiliang and was intercepted by the guards of the Beiliang Army.
If this spreads out, do you really think he is easy to bully? Can anyone step on his feet?
When he goes out, his words and deeds represent not only himself, but also the face of Da Qin.
soon.
Ying Qin and his party continued to rush to the Northern Liang Palace.
…
the next day.
Outside the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.
Xu Xiao stood at the door, clasping his hands, sometimes looking into the distance, sometimes pacing back and forth.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
According to the time, the fourth prince and his daughter should have arrived.
Standing next to him was the crown prince Xu Fengnian.
"Dad, can you stop dangling in front of me?"
Xu Xiao said in a low voice: "Isn't dad anxious? Your second sister and second brother-in-law will be here soon, and dad is also very anxious."
Xu Fengnian shrank her neck, and her hairs stood up uncontrollably when she thought of that second sister.
It can be said that what he fears most in his life is this second sister.
However, I am also curious about this second brother-in-law.
Ying Qin's reputation spread throughout the nine states, and his deeds were widely circulated.
Who in the entire Nine Provinces doesn’t know that the Fourth Prince of Qin is a legendary figure in the world?
"coming!!"
A group of cavalry slowly came into view.
Xu Xiao immediately strode forward to greet him.
Even though the fourth prince was already his son-in-law, he did not dare to neglect him at all. Ying Qin's status was much higher than his.
It was considered condescending for him to come to Beiliang Prince's Mansion.
tread! ! ! !
Ying Qin stepped out of the carriage and immediately took the lead, speaking very unkindly: "Xu Xiao, you'd better give me an explanation!!"
"An explanation?" Xu Xiao asked doubtfully, "What explanation?"
He is also confused!
The last time they met, he thought the Fourth Young Master was very gentle with others. Why was he so angry today?
Did he do something to feel sorry for?
Snap! !
A spear that was broken into two pieces was thrown to the ground.
Xu Xiao's pupils shrank, he naturally knew this gun.
This is the weapon of his adopted son Chen Zhibao, plum wine.
His smile also disappeared, and he asked slightly seriously: "Fourth Young Master, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Ying Qin sneered: "I still want to ask you what Xu Xiao means!!"
"When I was in Lingzhou, I was intercepted and killed at the city gate, and the man called himself Chen Zhibao."
"Chen Zhibao is your adopted son, and he is also your guardian of the Beiliang Army. I would like to ask you what you mean."
"Do you, Beiliang, want to start a war with me, Da Qin??"
Breaking into a cold sweat.
Xu Xiao broke into a cold sweat.
If another prince of Da Qin had said this, he would definitely not believe that this prince had such ability, nor would he believe that a prince could mobilize the power of a country to attack Beiliang.
However, this prince is Ying Qin.
He didn't dare to gamble with Beiliang's fate.
After all, his status in Great Qin was too special, and he was too important in the eyes of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.
If this matter comes back to Qin and reaches Ying Zheng's ears, he believes that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng will definitely support the fourth prince.
Originally, Beiliang was jealous of the Liyang royal family. If it weren't for the 300,000-strong army in Beiliang, the Liyang royal family would have to pay a bloody price to capture Beiliang.
But if Great Qin launches troops against Beiliang, the Liyang royal family will definitely add insult to injury. By then, Beiliang will become a sandwich biscuit.
"What a good son-in-law." Xu Xiao played the emotional card: "There must be a misunderstanding here. How can I take action against you?"
"Misunderstanding? So I am slandering you?" Ying Qin raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Bring him here!!"
As Ying Qin finished speaking, two Great Qin Iron Eagle warriors took the general guarding the gate down.
"Your Majesty!"
"Help me!"
The gatekeeper general was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.
Xu Xiao's face darkened.
Asked: "What happened?"
The general guarding the gate told everything he saw.
"The Lord Protector accepted the favor of the Liyang royal family and led a thousand iron pagodas to intercept and kill the fourth prince at the city gate. The general tried to persuade the Lord Protector, but he still insisted on his own way."
"This matter has nothing to do with me!!"
Xu Xiao looked at Xu Weixiong: "Is that so?"
Xu Weixiong didn't want to admit it, but the fact was the fact.
Chen Zhibao was too high-profile and had no intention of hiding his tracks. He actually intercepted and killed him at the city gate where there was a lot of people. So many people saw him that he couldn't hide it.
She nodded palely: "That's right."
Xu Xiao was so angry that he stamped his feet and roared loudly: "How hateful!! I, Xu Xiao, treat him well and treat him as my own son, but he actually caused such a huge disaster without telling me!!"
"Where did he send me to Beiliang?"
"Where did he send me Xu Xiao?"
"Where is that traitor? I will personally chop him to make amends for the fourth prince!!!!"
Xu Xiao spoke with great emotion, completely treating himself as a victim, as if he was really unaware of these things.
Ying Qin looked at Xu Xiao's performance meaningfully. He didn't quite believe that Xu Xiao didn't know about this.
For a Machiavellian.
Few people can tolerate a person who has a high influence in the military, even to the point where he speaks out, and this person does not know how to hide his thoughts.
to be honest.
Everyone knew that Chen Zhibao did not want to see the crown prince.
Who doesn’t know those generals in the Beiliang Army?
Moreover, Chen Zhibao also incited those generals to be hostile to the crown prince.
But Xu Xiao only wanted the crown prince to succeed to the throne, so Chen Zhibao's approach was tantamount to plucking the hair from the tiger's butt.
If he doesn't die, who will?
And he, Xu Xiao, was limited by his reputation and many inconveniences. He couldn't do anything to Chen Zhibao, and he didn't dare to do anything to Chen Zhibao.
Because Chen Zhibao's influence in the army is too great, he has made so many military exploits for Beiliang.
If he really kills Chen Zhibao.
What do the Beiliang Army think?
What do those under your command think?
When the time comes when the Beiliang army and the palace are at odds with each other, how will Xu Xiao gain a foothold in Beiliang? How to convince the many Northern Liang soldiers?
Therefore, we can only rely on external forces.
Only in this way can we stand firm.
