Chapter 399 You killed your own son!

"Why did Lord Hou speak so harshly? Our lord came here from a long distance, whether we surrender or not, Lord Hou might as well listen to what he said.

"After all, the portrait of King Guangshu is still hanging in the Ancestral Temple. Our Highness can distinguish right from wrong, and will never implicate the sins on innocent people."

"No need!" He Yi held up the cup, "Send off the guests!"

When the messenger returned to Fengying, Uncle Dongyang said to Xie Peng, "How is it? Did I tell you?"

Xie Peng thought for a while and said, "Is General Rong in the camp?"

"exist."

"Then can I ask Uncle to arrange for General Rong to stay in the camp, and you and I will go to Hanzhong to meet Fu Mingjiang?"

For more than a month, the rebels had already reached Hanzhong.

Dongyang Bo frowned: "You can't persuade the Marquis of Zhen'an, but you still want to persuade Fu thief?"

Xie Peng said: "I don't have to persuade him, but there are still some things I want to figure out."

Uncle Dongyang didn't think so, but he also wanted to find out the enemy's situation in Hanzhong, so he finally agreed.

……

Yang Su received the news that Xie Peng and the others were going south ten days after they left.

While he was discussing, he stopped and frowned.

And when his order was issued again, Xie Peng had already written a letter and sent it to Fu Mingjiang's tent by messenger.

Uncle Dongyang still didn't have any hope, and went to the front line with the generals to inspect the military situation.Even Ling Song thinks there is little hope, after all, he knows exactly what the Fu family's situation is, and he also knows what Fu Mingjiang's temperament is.

However, in only an hour, the messenger rushed back with Fu Mingjiang's reply: "Fu Mingjiang, please thank you, sir. I will meet you at the Baihua Pavilion in Xishan tomorrow at noon!"

This time Ling Song was startled, almost swallowing a hemp ball in his mouth.

When Uncle Dongyang came back and heard about it, he also felt that it was wrong, and asked Xie Peng what was written in the letter?
Xie Peng has always been serious: "In other words, he said a few words and poked his heart."

It is so easy to have such an opportunity, so one must be cautious.

At noon the next day, Xie Peng and his party arrived at the agreed place.

The location of the pavilion is in an open space under the hillside, with no trees or rocks on all sides to cover it. It is very difficult for both sides to set up an ambush at a glance.

Fu Mingjiang lingered for a while when he saw Uncle Dongyang, but in the end he didn't say anything, and turned his gaze directly to Xie Peng: "Are you the imperial envoy sent by Yang Su?"

"That's right, Xie Peng."

Fu Mingjiang's eyes gradually became sharp: "Since you want to discuss matters with me, why bring so many people here?"

"Fu San! What do you mean?!"

Uncle Dongyang couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed his whip straight in front of his eyes, "You are a greedy thing! It's not enough to follow the shadow of your ancestors, are you still delusional about earning the merits of being a dragon?!

"Look at you, my son was killed by you, the whole family was displaced by the rebels, and your old mother was over seventy years old, but you forced her to sleep in the open!

"But you have made troubles for the court, caused great disasters, and harmed the people of Li. You are not only sorry for your ancestors, parents, but also for the court and society! Don't you want to rein in the precipice?!"

The hillside was full of uncle Dongyang's angry reprimands, and Ling Song naturally turned his eyebrows coldly at him because of his father's death.

Fu Mingjiang leaned on his sword and snorted: "Rein in the horse? How else can I rein in? It's easy for you to say!"

"Oldest Fu!"

Uncle Dongyang was so angry that he jumped up.

Fu Mingjiang's face darkened: "Master Xie has something to convey?!"

Xie Peng and Ling Song said: "Yinzhi first accompanied Uncle to wait for me at the foot of the mountain."

Ling Song knew that with Uncle Dongyang's temperament, staying was just to freeze the atmosphere, so he nodded and persuaded Uncle Dongyang to go down the mountain.

Fu Mingjiang looked at the few subordinates waiting far behind Xie Peng, and said coldly: "Lord Xie, don't worry, old man."

"Because I'm not here to persuade you to surrender, so there's nothing to worry about." Xie Peng said calmly.

Fu Mingjiang's eyes flickered slightly: "Aren't you here to persuade him to surrender? Then what are you here for?"

"After much deliberation, I still have to talk to Lord Hou about it." Xie Peng said, "It's the trident drawn in the letter to Lord Hou yesterday.

"Master Hou drew a gourd and branded it on the son's arm according to the branding on the fifth prince's arm. You must have been impressed?"

Fu Mingjiang's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately stood up!
Xie Peng glanced at him: "I've done everything, why is Lord Hou so alarmed?"

"……who are you?!"

Xie Peng said: "According to calculations, it should be a 'ghost' whose body was destroyed by the Fu family a long time ago. It's just that Lord Hou's hands and feet were not clean enough back then, so I survived."

Fu Mingjiang stood up abruptly, the blood all over his face faded!
Xie Peng looked at him and said, "Why did I draw that trident for you? I think you already know it well?"

Fu Mingjiang was speechless for a long time, he stared at Xie Peng's face desperately, and took a step back involuntarily.

His face was ashen, and the previous ferocity was gone.

"Could it be you?! How could it be... Back then you clearly..."

"It may be that as a prince, he still has a bit of protection from the emperor after all, or it may be that God blesses my mother's lineage, and he couldn't bear her family's disappearance, so she didn't die in the end."

Xie Peng used his usual calm and indifferent tone: "If my guess is correct, you would have guessed my identity before Yang Ye found your Fu family?"

Fu Mingjiang kept his eyes on his face, until he said "Yang Ye", he felt like a stab, and a trace of stunned flashed across his face.

Then he regained his expression: "Why do you see it?"

"There are rubbings of Fu Rong's siblings in the palace, which have not revealed any flaws for so many years, so it can be seen that since Yang Ye saw the 'Fifth Prince', the 'Fifth Prince' has already been him.

"As for why you guessed it, of course you guessed King Guangshu from the trident first, and then you guessed it when you heard that Yang Ye was looking for a child."

Xie Peng said eloquently. "Although you have deceived Yang Ye, you are still afraid that he will be suspicious, so you bribed the concubine in the palace and deliberately said that Fu Rong's eyes resembled his.

"But in reality, even if you don't find a similar pair of eyes, you might find a similar pair of hands, a similar pair of ears, a similar pair of lips, and even a similar chin.

"Da Ning has been in power for so many years, and the bloodlines of the various families have already improved. How can it be too difficult to find some similarities between two people?"

Fu Mingjiang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and said in a cold voice: "Yang Su sent you to deceive me? The child of King Guangshu was strangled to death and thrown into the river. How could he still be alive!"

"Do you think he still needs to lie to you?" Xie Peng's eyes were cold, "Don't you have to die if I don't come here?
"If there is one person in this world who knows that Fu Rong is not the prince, but you, Fu Mingjiang, who tried to steal the throne for the throne, it can only be the child of King Guangshu!
"The reason why you put all your eggs in one basket is not at all that Fu Rong died in the hands of Yang Su, but because you pretended to be the heir of the emperor with the blood of the Fu family!
"You are afraid that even if you accept the recruitment, there will be a day in the future! You are afraid that the nine clans will be implicated at that time, and your death will be worse than now! That's why you can only die to the end!"
