The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 500
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Lie Xie asked.

Qin Wan's expression turned cold: "Tian Chen said that they found a witch imprisoned in a secret room in Hou Lu's house, and Hou Lu simply said that the witch induced him to launch a rebellion."

"Witch?" Lie Xi was a little surprised.

Qin Wan nodded: "Tian Chen doesn't dare to deal with that demon girl without authorization, so he wants to invite me to Leizhou."

Lie Xie: "Ma'am, are you going?"

Qin Wan: "It's definitely going, you go and get ready to go, I'll go and tell Xun Che."

Lie Cuisine: "Yes."

Qin Wan took some fruits and came to Xun Che's room. Seeing a guard at the door, she asked strangely, "What's wrong? Is there someone in the room?"

The guard cupped his hands and said: "Ma'am, General Gu Fei of Danzhou has just arrived and is visiting Marquis Xunjun."

"General Gu Fei..." Qin Wan recalled the name, Gu Fei should be the former general of the Eastern Navy, and now he is the deputy general of Danzhou Zhoumu.

Qin Wan thought about it for a while, then turned around to avoid it, and only after Gu Fei left did she return to Xun Che's room with the washed fruit.

"What's the matter with General Gu Fei today?" Qin Wan took an orange and sat at the table and peeled it, curiously asking.

"The Xuwen battalion suffered heavy losses this time. General Gu came here to let me temporarily take charge of the entire battalion, and told me that he had already informed the Ministry of War and recommended me to take over the entire Xuwen battalion." Xun Che said.

Qin Wan put the orange in Xun Che's hands: "This is a good thing. You have achieved military merits in defending the city at a young age, and promotion is a matter of course. But why do you look unhappy?"

Xun Che peeled off a piece of orange and brought it to Qin Wan's mouth: "In this battle, there were many casualties in the Xuwen camp. Although I didn't spend long time with them, I watched them fall on the battlefield. Now they are dead bones. But I was promoted, and I just felt very heavy in my heart."

"Xun Che, when I was a child, I recited a poem, it said that according to Jun Mo's words, you can become a marquis, and once you succeed, all your bones will be destroyed. Does it sound like the scene of the two of us at this time?" Qin Wan said.

"Once you succeed, your bones will dry up...Which poet can write such a good sentence." Xun Che asked.

Qin Wan shook her head: "I forgot the author's name, but I have my own thoughts on this poem."

Xun Che: "What?"

Qin Wan said: "Xun Che, the soldiers on the battlefield are like participating in a bet with their lives as a bargaining chip. No one joins the army to die on the battlefield, but because everyone wants to live and live better You are not responsible for thousands of dead bones. You don't need to blame yourself. The promotion and promotion given to you by the imperial court is not to let you indulge in merit, but to think that you have the ability to make more soldiers face the enemy. Can survive. Leading troops has never been an easy task. If you want to protect more people, you need to move forward and look forward."

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Xun Che suddenly became enlightened, and said with a breath, "Hearing what you said, I feel better."

Qin Wan held Xun Che's hand: "By the way, Tian Chen captured Hou Lu and wrote to invite me to Leizhou. There is a wrong and there is a debt. The lives of so many soldiers in Danzhou must be remembered well." Xun Che, if you are not in a hurry to return to Danzhou Island, would you like to go with me?"

"Okay, I'll go with you." Xun Che said.

……

When Xun Che and his party arrived in Leizhou City in the late Qin Dynasty, it was raining lightly.

Tian Chen greeted him at the gate of the city, and Shi Siniang was beside him.

Seeing Qin Wan rushing forward excitedly, Shi Siniang took her arms and walked towards the city. While walking, she told Qin Wan how their Nanyue Baibu besieged and blocked Lei Lu's rebels, and finally arrested Lei Lu of.

"Si, please tell the big boss that my identity must not be exposed to the north," Qin Wan said.

Shi Siniang promised very seriously: "Don't worry, my father has ordered everyone to keep silent."

"Well," Qin Wan nodded, "Thank you Si."

Shi Siniang secretly looked at Xun Che from the corner of her eye, and whispered, "Madam, that little military marquis is the one you want to save. He really looks good, and people like him just by looking at him. Such a handsome appearance is my own. I’m willing to do my best to help.”

Qin Wan thought that the Nanyue girl really didn't hide her thoughts, but she wasn't surprised: "Well, it's him."

Shi Siniang sighed in admiration: "It's a pity that my mother likes it, I can't grab it anymore."

Qin Wan smiled: "He also has an elder brother, I have the opportunity to introduce you."

"Really? Is his elder brother here?" Shi Siniang smiled like a flower.

Qin Wan nodded.

"You have to keep your word." Shi Siniang said with crooked eyebrows.

"Yes." Qin Wan agreed to her.

At this time Tian Chen came over: "Madam, I have set up a table, please have dinner first."

Qin Wan shook her head: "No rush, I'm going to see Hou Lu first."

Tian Chen cupped his hands and said: "Yes, ma'am. Hou Lu is now being imprisoned in the prison of the Leizhou government office. Please move to the government office lobby."

"No," Qin Wan said, "don't be so ostentatious, let's go directly to the prison."

"Yes, ma'am." Tian Chen took the order.

Tian Chen brought Qin Wan, Xun Che and Lie Xian to the Yamen Prison of Leizhou Mansion.The air in the south is hot and humid, and the prison has a strong musty smell, making Qin Wan frown.Wearing a veil, she followed Tian Chen to the depths of the cell, and saw Hou Lu who was tied to the rack and covered in blood.

As soon as Hou Lu saw Tian Chen, she immediately begged for mercy: "General Tian... Seeing that we were colleagues in the past and have served Daliang so hard, let me let my family go...!"

Tian Chen looked at Hou Lu coldly: "Hou Lu! You committed a rebellion, and you still imagined that there would be survivors in your family, what a joke!"

Hou Lu cried loudly: "General Tian, ​​that demon girl instigated me. She said that I was a rebel general in Nanliang, and the court would kill me sooner or later. That's why I sent troops."

Tian Chen snorted coldly: "Just a demon girl can instigate you to hoard food and horses all these years, buy weapons and increase your troops?"

Hou Lu cried with tears all over her face and said: "Really, General Tian, ​​I really have no intention of rebelling. It was she who kept saying that if I don't want to die, I can rise up and become king by myself, as long as I use the banner of Daliang , all the states and counties in the south will respond to my call, because I am a chosen person, and I came to this world just to resist the Beirong. I was dizzy by her words, so I was deceived and started to fight. Now I I am too late to regret it, I am willing to hand over all the things I have accumulated over the years to the imperial court, and beg the imperial court to spare my people..."

Qin Wan stood aside with her arms folded and stood in the shadows. She picked up a blood-stained nine-tailed whip and handed it to Xun Che: "The culprit of this war is here. You have to vent your anger on him, for Xu Wenying. I will take Tian Chen out to wait for the soldiers to take revenge. As long as you don’t beat him to death, you can beat him however you want. But don’t worry, he will definitely be wiped out when he is sent to Cold City.”

Xun Che looked at Hou Lu, who was fat and bloody and crying ugly, took the whip from Qin Wan and put it aside: "No, seeing him brought to justice with my own eyes is enough to comfort the Danzhou army. Dead soldiers."

"Well, good." Qin Wan said, "Then let's go meet the demon girl Hou Lu mentioned. I want to see what witch has such a great ability to persuade Hou Lu to rebel."

Tian Chen led Qin Wan and Xun Che to the prison on the next floor.

"General Tian, ​​what kind of witch is that?" Qin Wan asked curiously as he walked.

Tian Chen said: "We found her in the secret room of the Hou's Mansion. She looks really beautiful, but she is missing a right arm and a right leg. It doesn't look like she was wounded by a sword or congenitally disabled, but rather like she was bitten by some wild beast. However, according to Hou Lu's account, he accidentally found this witch seriously injured in the mountains more than ten years ago, brought her back to the Hou's mansion, and raised her at home, obeying her in everything."

"Does she have any spells?" Qin Wan asked.

Tian Chen said: "It was very easy when we caught her, and she didn't seem to have any aggressive power. But according to Hou Lu, that witch's medical skills and intercourse skills are very good."

Qin Wan narrowed his eyes, feeling more and more curious.

When Tian Chen brought Qin Wan to the witch's cage, her eyes widened instantly, and she looked at the person in the cage in disbelief.

"Wuluo...it turned out to be you!"
