Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

The explosion in the cave had a wide range and loud sound, which had already alarmed the people in the camp, and the collapse that followed shortly after was even more alarming.

The guard on the top of the mountain walked quickly to Zongbei, shocked, "Report to the general, there is an explosion inside the mountain!"

Immediately afterwards, another guard ran up to him, "Report to the general, there was another loud noise ahead. It seems like the mountain collapsed?"

Zong Bei raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Yong beside him, "Hurry up and send someone to find out what's going on!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Rongxi took a step behind and opened the tent curtain, looking forward, frowning, "How could the mountain collapse?"

He heard what he just said.

The mountains are covered with vegetation and there are many trees. Even if the Liang State used explosives to open the mountains, it would not cause the mountains to collapse in just a moment.

Unless, this mountain is empty.

If the mountain is empty, there will be a cave. If there is a hole, it is easy to hide.

Zongbei replied, "Your Majesty, the general has sent people to investigate. There will be news in a moment."

Xiao Rongxi felt uneasy. Seeing Zongbei arranging manpower in an orderly manner, he turned and returned to the camp.

There was a man kneeling in the tent, his hands clasped behind his back and tied with hemp rope. His helmet was tilted on the ground, and his broken hair covered half of his face, showing a bit of dejection.

It was Wang Chengmian.

They had indeed focused on Sun Yong before, and it was true that he asked Yu Huaishan about the herbal collection.

But the purpose is the same as them.

Sun Yong and Wang Chengmian had a fairly close relationship. They had plenty of time to meet each other, and he immediately discovered something was wrong with Wang Chengmian.

It's just that although he picked up sticky grass, he didn't know what it was or what its habits were.

Just when Yu Huaishan entered the camp, Sun Yong took advantage of the crowds of people asking for a pulse and went to Yu Huaishan's camp to find the answer.

Wang Chengmian got the news from nowhere, and guessed from Yu Huaishan's swaggering around the camp with a collection of medicinal herbs that they were suspicious of Sun Yong, so he tried to pin the identity of the mole on Sun Yong.

Only then did the scene of the previous scheming begin.

At this moment, Xiao Rongxi looked at the person kneeling in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly, "When I interrogated you before, you refused to say anything, but you reacted when you heard this explosion..."

Xiao Rongxi paused and expressed his speculation, "You know that there is a tunnel in the mountain opposite, and explosives are stored in it. You want to wait for Liang Bing to cooperate with them inside and outside, am I right?"

Wang Chengmian didn't speak, but stared at him for a moment, his eyes dark.

Without opening his mouth, Xiao Rongxi already got the answer from his eyes.

At this point, Wang Chengmian knew that there was nothing he could do to save himself.

Even if the Liang army succeeds, he will not escape death, affecting his wife and children.

Moreover, the explosion came suddenly and was not at the time they had agreed upon, and they were afraid that something might have changed.

"But how can your majesty be sure it's me?" He was very cautious and dealt with it cleanly after every time. Could it be that it was the night when Concubine Li picked up the sticky grass?
Xiao Rongxi: "What you do must leave traces. Before processing, there are traces before processing; after processing, there are traces after processing."

If you don't know it, you can't do it yourself.

"Besides, you are too impatient. When there is a scapegoat in front of you, you rush to arrange clues in order to establish evidence of his crime. However, you don't know that the more you do, the more completely you will be exposed."

"Hehe, hehe," Wang Chengmian twitched his lips, "I was careless."

His knees were injured. He had been kneeling for a long time and could no longer hold himself up. His whole body fell forward and his forehead suddenly hit the ground, bleeding.

Xiao Rongxi lowered his eyes and looked indifferent.

He circled the tassel on the edge of the table with his fingertips and pressed his eyelids, "Your position is not low. What benefits did Liang Guo promise you? Is it worth risking the lives of your entire family to commit treason?"

Wang Chengmian was a little silent. His face was pressed against the ground, so Xiao Rongxi couldn't see his face clearly.

Tension filled the tent.

Some things, once started, can't be turned back. Even if he did it reluctantly later, he did it after all.

Even though the city behind them was located in a desolate area in the northwest, it was quite lively.

Wang Chengmian was lured into gambling by his subordinates, and it was only then that he learned that there was an underground gambling room where they were guarding.

Of course, it was impossible for him to sit in his position and not be alert at all, but after investigating, he found that the identity of the owner of this gambling shop was not a problem. He usually gambled for a small amount, and the odds were not high. He just wanted to have fun, so there was no harm in it.

At first, Wang Chengmian only made small bets and still made a lot of money. Later, the more he gambled, the more he made more and more money.

He was extremely satisfied, and over the years, his vigilance had been paralyzed.

Until one day, he became addicted to gambling and bet his money. He didn't even return home and went to an underground gambling house.

At that time, he was already familiar with the gambling house owner, and he didn't notice that the other party mixed something into the tea. After drinking one cup, he fell unconscious.

When he woke up, the defense plan and secret orders in his arms had been lost.

Only then did he realize that he had boarded the pirate ship.

The men who led him to the gambling house, the gambling house owner, and the people he sent to investigate were all Liang Guo spies.

He violated military orders by going to the gambling house, and losing the defense plans and secret orders was a serious crime and should be punished according to law.

When he was frightened, the owner of the gambling shop reached out to him and asked him to secretly steal the defense information and cooperate with them to capture the White Bear Pass.

After all, the copy that Wang Chengmian carried was just one of the parts, not complete.

After the deed is accomplished, he can be promoted to an official position and enjoy a lifetime of glory.

But if they don't cooperate, the other party will make the defense plans obtained from Wang Chengmian public. By then, the whole country will know about it, and he and his family will not escape death.

Wang Chengmian was not very clear-headed at the time, and in fear, he agreed to the other party's request.

He also thought about going back on his word on the way, but every time at this time, the news that had been passed on in the past would remind him——

What has been done has been done, the consequences have been caused, and it is long past time to get off the ship.

So while he was suffering, he also did many things for Liang Guo.

Wang Chengmian thought about this and did not explain much. He just said, "One step is wrong, every step is wrong. Your Majesty, I plead guilty."

Xiao Rongxi snorted, "That's right, no matter what the reason is, if you do it, you do it. The consequences cannot be undone, and those who lose their lives cannot live again."

His hand that was turning the tassel suddenly stopped, his eyes blazing, "Tell me, how did King Chen die?"

"King Chen..." Wang Chengmian murmured, "I arranged the scouts around King Chen, so even if there are signs of mud and rocks falling, he will report that it is suitable for troops to move forward. King Chen's movements are also mine What was revealed in the night, Liang Jun laid an ambush in advance and used natural disasters, so no matter how powerful he is, he can't resist it. "

Underneath the mud and sand are all lives, how can there be any distinction between high and low?
Neither King Chen nor ordinary soldiers can escape.

Wang Chengmian closed his eyes. He knew that he was terribly wrong and could not make up for it, but he still asked the last question.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing for you that King Chen is dead?"

The factions between the government and the opposition are constantly fighting. If he is still alive, he will be a great threat to the people on the dragon throne.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Rongxi stood up and said, "The battle between me and King Chen is an internal matter within the royal family. No matter who wins or loses, they must protect me first. If the country is broken, what is home? The so-called What’s the point of royal quarrels!”

"As a border guard general, not only did you fail to fulfill your duty of protecting your home and country, but you teamed up with the enemy and harmed the general. You will never be able to atone for your crime even if you die!"
