Because he wanted to see Ren Canglin, Sikong Zhao was taken to the Marshal's Mansion.
The old coach Ren Canglin rushed over immediately after getting the news and asked Han You to accompany him in.
Speaking of being detained, Sikong Zhao did not receive any rough treatment, at least so far. He was sitting in the dilapidated main hall of the Marshal's Mansion with an expressionless face.
Ren Canglin couldn't guess what Sikong Zhao meant. The reason why he called Han You was because of his identity.
The Sikong family is not an ordinary family, and the current identity is that of a traitor and a great rebel. If Han You, the emperor's personal soldier, is present, no matter how the discussion is, Han You can more or less represent the attitude of the palace.
Ren Canglin could decide matters such as wars and strife with one word and handle them at will. Matters related to rebels must be present with the emperor's own troops.
Han You asked his friends to stay outside and followed Ren Canglin to the main hall.
Sikong Zhao stood up and saluted, and glanced at Han You with his unpredictable, cold eyes.
This was the second time she saw Han You.
Just now on the city wall, Deputy Commander Tang Qingfeng pretended to be an uncle. Others were on guard. Only this kid was smiling and communicating in low voices with others. The others turned a blind eye, as if they were already used to it, and were used to the deputy commander of the border pretending to be an uncle. , 2 This young guy is as casual as he is at home, ignorant of etiquette, and has no sense of superiority or inferiority.
This means that the status of this young man whom he has never met is no lower than Tang Qingfeng.
This time, this guy stood together with Ren Canglin again. When they entered the main hall, the two of them entered side by side. No one was ahead and no one was half a step behind.
"Folk girl, Sikong Zhaojian..."
"Without further ado."
Ren Canglin sat aside in a dignified manner. His old and resolute face was full of impatience. After sitting down, he pointed outside the room.
"Before the sun sets, if you cannot convince me, you can leave, but your head will stay."
Han You said nothing and went to make tea. He felt that Lao Ren seemed to have a huge misunderstanding of biology.
"The handsome man speaks quickly."
Sikong Zhao sat back and went straight to the point: "It is true that the Sikong family participated in Zhou Tianfeng's rebellion."
"Oh." Ren Canglin shouted towards the outside of the house: "Here comes someone, drag him out and hack him to death with a knife."
Wang Hai, Lu Baichuan, Fu Yuxiang, Jiang Zhui, Feng Bai and Zhou Tong, who had just sobered up, rushed in together.
"Commander, wait a minute." Sikong Zhao was indifferent: "Listen to what the girl has to say. The Sikong family is helpless."
"Oh." Ren Canglin said to Wang Hai and others: "Chop it into pieces, keep the head and send it to the capital to ask for credit."
"Although the Sikong family had no choice but to follow the thieves, they also secretly helped the border troops. If not, why did the eldest prince know exactly where the food and grass of the Fan army were stored?"
Ren Canglin: "Exit."
Wang Hai and the other six retreated grumbling.
Han You was still not in a hurry to speak. He poured a cup of hot tea for Ren Canglin and sat next to him.
"I have changed my mind. Don't let the sun set. When this cup of tea is drunk, you still can't convince me. You will be hacked to death as a warning to others."
"As early as the summer of last year, Zhou Tianfeng instigated the Qian family in Guan to arrest twenty-six members of the Sikong family in Guan. He also secretly bribed the Lang tribe outside Guan and robbed seventy-two members of the Sikong family. The lives of nearly a hundred relatives of the Sikong family were all in Zhou Tianfeng's hands. In his hand, if the girl does not obey, Zhou Tianfeng will send a head to the girl every day."
Ren Canglin raised his eyebrows: "Go on."
As a border commander, regardless of the cause, he rebelled, and Sikong Zhao and the Sikong family deserved their death.
As a person, an old man, the life of the whole family is in the hands of others, so he can only be a thief. He can understand this kind of thing.
Not only him, but Han You also sighed silently.
If what Sikong Zhao said was true, then it would be excusable. If it were him, he would have no choice but to become a thief. After all, nothing is more important than his family.
"At the beginning of the war, His Royal Highness the eldest prince set fire to the army's food and fodder. I think many people already know that His Highness the eldest prince endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden. Zhou Tianfeng made a heavy promise to our Si Kong family before plotting this matter and was sure that it would happen. His Royal Highness the eldest prince in the pass blocked three roads. With grain and grass, the foreign troops outside the Pass will become officials, and there will also be foreign tribes in the north of the country to attack the key points, and major events can be decided."
"You mean to say that you secretly informed His Highness the Eldest Prince about the location of the army's food and fodder?"
"No, Zhou Tianfeng deceived His Highness the First Prince. His Highness the First Prince guessed that Zhou Tianfeng was on guard against him, and the food and fodder would be in the opposite position. The daughter of the people also secretly sent people to investigate. The fact is just as His Highness the First Prince guessed."
Ren Canglin's face moved slightly: "Have you... met His Highness the First Prince?"
"Yes, the daughter of the people met His Highness the First Prince."
Han You couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "Where is His Highness? Is he still fine?"
"She's safe and sound. His Highness also asked the civilian girl to come in and see Ren Shuai."
"Then what?"
"His Highness wants to use his merits to offset the Sikong family's faults."
Han You was confused.
First of all, the Sikong family was forced. Secondly, according to what the other party wanted, Zhou Xiao had already contacted the Sikong family privately. They should have played with Zhou Tianfeng together. Not strictly speaking, it was considered to be humiliating and bearing the burden. What else did the other party say? Originally, there were more people surrounding the pass. It seemed that the Sikong family had done something secretly, and the Fanman army only had "only" fifty thousand troops.
Seeing Han You's confused look, Sikong Zhao said quietly: "Although the Sikong family is being coerced, Minnu and other relatives hope that Zhou Tianfeng will capture Nanguan and occupy the three roads of the South."
Ren Canglin sneered again and again: "Then your Sikong family is a rebel?"
"The commander-in-chief said he is a rebel, so he is a rebel."
Sikong Zhao was a female, with boldness even bigger than her breasts. She laughed at herself: "When did the monarchs and the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty regard my Sikong family as a commoner of the Han family, and call me a barbarian? Since I am a barbarian, I attacked Nanguan. What does it have to do with the reverse word?"
"Here comes someone." Ren Canglin turned around and said, "Pull him out and chop him to death."
Han You: "..."
Six people from Wang Hai rushed in again, and Sikong Zhao said in a calm tone: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince told the daughter of the people that if the court can let the Sikong family go, the Sikong family will definitely be able to help the court and Nanguan."
"Back off!"
Ren Canglin called out, and Wang Hai and others rushed out in annoyance. They exchanged glances with each other, and after a while they refused to come in no matter how the old guy called.
"What's the point of helping the imperial court and helping Nanguan?"
"There will be no more fighting in Nanguan for at least three years."
Ren Canglin was silent. After being silent for a while, he looked at Han You.
Han You scratched his forehead and said nothing.
The more he listened, the more confused he became. According to what was known so far, the Sikong family had contacted the eldest prince Zhou Xiao.
The eldest prince asked Sikong Zhao to enter the pass to meet Ren Canglin. The eldest prince believed that the Sikong family could help Nanguan gain at least three years of peace.
The funniest thing is that although Sikong Zhao said that the Sikong family was threatened by Zhou Tianfeng before, the Sikong family did not like the imperial court and was willing to help Zhou Tianfeng in the great Zhou Dynasty.
This is equivalent to the fact that the Sikong family is very opportunistic and Zhou Tianfeng has some advantages. They are willing to help Zhou Tianfeng rebel. Now that Zhou Tianfeng is finished, they are willing to surrender to the court and make no secret of the fact that they are very opportunistic.
Han You looked at Sikong Zhao's chest and was puzzled. How could this eldest sister be so big...so bold? There couldn't be a cushion inside.
