auspicious time has come

Chapter 23 I Believe In Your Evil

"Old things? What old things do I have with General Xiao..."

At the beginning of the Dasheng Dynasty, the Khitan had voluntarily surrendered and became a vassal state, and there was a precedent for intermarriage, so many leaders of various tribes could speak Dasheng's official language.

"It's not the same as me, then your Excellency and I will go to Zhu Kingdom, Shu Guogong Shi Minhui, do you have old stories—"

The light of the wind lamp in the secret room was dim, and Xiao Mu's tall figure was immersed in the darkness, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"Shangzhu Kingdom...Shi Minhui?" Xuanpu sneered, "It's just a dead person, hasn't the Shi family been beheaded by your grand emperor a long time ago?"

Yes.

All the doors were copied and chopped.

Xiao Mu silently clenched his ten fingers.

"Eight years ago, when you framed the slander, the general colluded with Khitan. Who did you conspire with?"

Xuanpu's face changed: "What kind of frame is it? Shi Minhui's treason is clearly evidenced."

"The evidence is your handwritten letter back then, the so-called alliance token, and the defense map of Dasheng Northland that was sent out but was intercepted halfway—" Xiao Mu looked at him firmly: "But you alone, absolutely It is impossible to do this, and the defense plan is not a fake, so you must have an internal response in the Dasheng Dynasty... Who is that person?"

Was it Jiang Zhengfu, the order of Zhongshu, or even the current sage who secretly instructed it?

There are countless bloody precedents since ancient times...

"How do you conclude that Tim Minhui must have been wronged?" Xuanpu looked at him with dim eyes.

"It is absolutely impossible for him to do something collaborating with the enemy and treason." Xiao Mu almost stuttered every word, extremely firm.

Xuanpu vaguely sensed something strange: "Why do you want to pursue this old matter? Is it the order of Emperor Dasheng?"

"You just have to answer my question—"

"Why do I have to answer you?" Xuanpu laughed weakly, the injuries on his body made him grit his teeth, and his face became more ferocious and gloomy.

"You tell the whole truth, and I will spare your life." Xiao Mu looked at him, his voice was cold and calm: "This is your only way of life."

Xuanpu's eyes flickered for a moment: "How can I trust that you will keep your promise?"

The reason why he showed no fear was because he felt that falling into Xiao Mu's hands would lead to death, and if there was still a possibility of life, who would be willing to die?

Xiao Mu: "You can only trust me."

Hearing these unreasonable but helpless words, Xuanpu cursed in a low Khitan language, then gritted his teeth and said, "...I will believe you just once!"

As he spoke, he raised his head with difficulty, and said cheerfully: "That's right, Shi Minhui never betrayed the country, what happened back then... I did frame him!"

Shi Minhui never treason——

Even though there was no surprise at all, Xiao Mu's eyes still turned red when he really heard this sentence.

The voice was restrained and calm: "Keep talking."

"At the end of the day, it's you Dasheng who are fighting among themselves, and someone is plotting to kill him! I'm just going along with the flow!"

"Who is that person—" Xiao Mu asked again.

"I have no idea!"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Mu's eyes: "You don't know who is cooperating with you?"

As someone who fought on the battlefield, Xuanpu clearly sensed the cold and murderous aura of the young general in front of him, and his tone subconsciously weakened by two points: "I'm telling the truth, that man is mysterious and cautious. He never showed up, and when he found me, he was also one of his subordinates to send a letter, and he never revealed his identity to me!"

"So you agree to cooperate with him—" Xiao Mu questioned.

"Why don't I agree? I don't care who he is, as long as I know that he wants to get rid of Shi Minhui, it will be of great benefit to my Khitan! How many warriors of my Khitan have been killed by the Shi family army? If it wasn't for Shi Minhui back then , I have already led troops to occupy the Northland!"

Therefore, when the other party found him, after a little testing, he immediately agreed to make a deal with the other party.

Because the bargaining chip he needs to pay is too little, there is almost no price to speak of, just write a personal letter, take out the so-called token, and the rest will be arranged by the other party!
In this way, it is possible to get rid of Shi Minhui's confidant, what reason does he not agree?

The same purpose, the benefits for nothing, he doesn't care who the other party is!
As for the internal strife and cannibalism in the Dasheng Dynasty? ——Naturally, he would like to see it even more!
Seeing that Xiao Mu said nothing, he hastened to say: "It's been many years since I have admitted to framing Shi Minhui, so why cover it up for the other party? If I knew, it would be impossible to hide it from you!"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Mu's mood sank.

This was the worst outcome he had imagined.

But he still refused to let go of any clues: "Tell me about the whole process of your contact and collusion with the other party back then, in detail."

Xuanpu is now focused on surviving, endured the unwillingness in his heart, and did as he said.

After Xiao Mu heard this, his mood gradually calmed down, and he turned and left here.

"Xiao Mu! You said you would give me a way out!" Xuanpu shouted behind him.

"I did. I won't kill you, but I didn't say I'd let you go."

"Damn it, you're going to put me here for a while!" Xuanpu cursed, "I believe your evil!"

Xiao Mu didn't turn his head back: "Jingzhou speaks well."

Xuanpu took a deep breath, trembling with anger: "...your mother!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, not long after Heng Yu got up, Jiji ran over.

"Girl, the envoy next to Mrs. Xiao has come over, saying that Mrs. Xiao wants to invite you to the city for breakfast." Jiji said with a smile.

The little girl's mind is sometimes sensitive, but sometimes it is very simple. She doesn't think about political positions, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with Mrs. Xiao being so enthusiastic about the girl. After all, in Jiji's eyes-my girl is so good, who would not like it?
It was only then that Hengyu remembered that Mrs. Xiao suggested sharing breakfast last night.

Undoubtedly, such hospitality was a bit strange, she wanted to decline politely, but the incident of the assassin after that disturbed her mind, and she forgot about it for a while.

And now that the other party has sent a female envoy to invite her, it would be too impolite for her to say no.

So, after Hengyu washed and changed her clothes, she left the courtyard with the two female envoys who had come to invite her.

On the way, Jiji started talking to the two female envoys.

"Sister Luwa, what a nice name!" Gigi exclaimed - so dangerous, it was almost as good as her name.

"It's the name given by Madam." Lu Wa said with a smile.

"It's really a good name, the candle is smokeless and the green wax is dry, and my heart is still shy of spring." Heng Yu asked with a smile casually: "Then the other girl is called Chunhan?"

"Hui Ji Painter, the servant girl calls them spring rolls." The maid said in a low voice.

"..." Heng Yu's smile froze for a moment, "It's also very confrontational."

It's just that Mrs. Xiao's preference for naming is quite erratic...

Even if it is called Juanchun?

"Sister Chunjuan, that's a good name too!" Jiji touched her belly quietly. Not only did it sound nice, but it was also delicious, which made her hungry.

While the few people were talking, they soon arrived at Mrs. Xiao's place.
